New York, Oot. 15.—A diepatoh to
the Journal from Bofla gives the follow
ing letter from Miss Stone, the kidnaped
American missionary, written at Faoe-
donin, to W. W. Feet, treasurer of the
Tnrioh Mission in Constantinople:
“My Honored Friend: I write to in
form you that on the 3rd of September
I was captured by a great number of
armed men, some forty, as I traveled
from Bansko to Binmala, with 160
teaohers, students and others. The rea
son we were oaptused is for ransom.
The price 1b 05,000 pounds, whioh must
be paid wltbont the knowledge of the
Turkish and Bulgarian government
within the term fof eighteen days
from today. The condition of Mrs.
T. Silka decided the limit, as she is to
give birth to a child in three months."
Miss Stone writes further begging
that the representative of the United
States give his most serious co-operation
.and that the Turkish and Bul
garian soldiers be reoalled from
pursuit, as it is causing rough
treatment at the hands of the brigands,
and prayB that the ransom be sent with
nil greatest speed.
New York, Oot. 17.—Rev. Wardlaw
Thompson, direotor of the Collegiate
and Theological Institute at Soda, cables
the following from Samanov, Bulgaria:
"The headquarters of Miss Stone’s
captors la a thiokly wooded mountain
top near the boundary line of Turkey
and Bulgaria. Mlsi Stone has only
light summer olothing and a cotton
dress. The brigands refused to allow
her to keep her baggage, but let her
have her Bible.
The leader of the band Is the notori
ous Bouoho from the Bulgarian town of
Dabnltza. There were only three theo-
logioal institute students who wereoap-
tnred in the Stone party. One tells pa
thetically of how he was robbed of the
money with whioh he Intended to pay
for his tuition.

Georgetown, Ky., Oot. 16—Under
Judge Cantrell’s order, all persons will
be searched for concealed weapons be
fore being permitted to enter the trial
room. The judge himself and all the
lawyers on both sides submitted to
search :ihis morning at the hand! of
deputy sheriffs. The trial of Caleb
Powers is now nuder way in earnest.
D. M. Woodson, of Frankfort, was the
commonwealth’s first witness. A oross
examination followed hiB testimony.
Georgetown, Ky., Oot. 10.—The
friendB of Judge Cantrell, who is pre
siding in the trial of Caleb Powers, are
guarding him closely, as it is reported
that threats have been made against his
life.
Mrs. Oantrell ordered a cot to be taken
to the court house to be used by the
Judge, who is not in good health. As a
man entered the court house with the
cot he elbowed his way through the
crowd of mountaineers at the door.
“What’s that oot for?” asked one of
the men.
"For Judge Cantrell," replied the
man.
"Take it on. That d— d— will
need it before the trial is over,” said one
of the men.
The man hastened to tell Mrs. Gan*
trall, who quickly notified Common
wealth Attorney Frankling, an I all pos
sible arrangements were then made
today looking to the safety of the Judge.
Frank Heeney, who saw Goebel fall,
was the first witness today In the trial
of ex-8eoretary of State Powers.
Disease mokes many a woman prema
turely old. Dark-rimmed eyes, hollow
cheeks and waited form are accompan
ied by listlessneaa and loss of ambition.
Home duties are a weariness, and social
pleasures have no attraction.
One of the commonest expressions of
women cured by
Doctor Pierce’s
Favorite Prescrip
tion is this: "It
hu made a new
woman of me.”
There’s a world
of meaning in the
words. It means
the sparkle
brought back to
the eyes; the com-
S lexlon tinted
h the rosy hue
of healthy blood:
the form rounded
out anew in
graceful curves; the whole body radiant
with health.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. It dries debilitating
drains, heals inflammation and ulcera
tion and cures female weakness. It
makes new women of those prematurely
aged by disease.
k THIRD MISSIONARY DISPATCHED.
Constantinople, Oot. 17.—As no news
has been reoeived from Baird and Has
kell, the missionaries who have been at
tempting to get in touch with Miss
Stone, % third missionary has oeen dis-
patched.
' HELD FOR CRAND JURY.
A Woman Who Is Supposed to Know Ssme-
thlng About Big Express Robbery.
Nashville, Tenn., Oot., 17.—The pre
liminary hearing of Annie Rodgers,
alias Miss Williams, was held this morn
ing, and the woman bound over to the
grand jury under (10,000 bond, in de
fault of which she was committed to
jail.
Annie Rodgers is supposed to have in
timate knowledge of the details of the
Northern express robbery at Wagner,
Mont., on the third of last July, and
was apprehended in an endeavor to
effect the exohango at a local bank of a
large number of bills stolen from the
express safe. She stated to the magis.
trate that she came in possession of the
money houestly and that she did 1 not
understand why she should be subjected
to such treatment
A RAVING MANIAC.
Georgetown, Ky„ Oot. 17.—In the
Caleb Powers! case today Mrs. Ander
son, the Western Union telegraph oper
ator at Barboursville, Ky., testified,
identifying several telegrams sent by
Powers to men in that locality, Instruct
ing them how many men to bring to
Frankfort. She said that the copies of
the telegrams had been removed secretly
from the ofifioe and that she did not
know who had taken them.
The impression has gained that the
Commonwealth will not introduce
Noakes nor Anderson, who were oon-
spiouous witnesses at the former trial,
but the rumor is afloat that Henry E.
Youtsey will be put on the stand to tell
all he knows about the affair as the only
hope of escaping his life sentenoe. Ar
thur Goebel, however, says that Yout
sey will not be called oy the common
wealth.

teudent Cornelius V. Collins will lend

the government to be .present it the
eleotroontlon of Ozolgosz, the murderer
of President MoKtnley. Only twenty'
six witnesses wilt be present In the

prison, has sent to Superintendent Col
lins the request! he has reoeived for
permission to attend the electrocution,
over one thousand in all. The law will
limit the number of witneieei and the
superintendent will deoide who the wit
nesses will be.
It was stated at the state department
of prisons today that statements to the
effeot thst Ozolgosz Is in ■ continuous
state of oollapse and that he breaks down
and weeps every time anything is said
to him concerning the eleotroontlon are
false. Superintendent Collins had a
talk with the oondemnedllman some
days ago and that time he said he knew
he had to die. He expressed no fear as
to the eleotroontlon, bnt said that he
would not oare to go outside of the
prison, for he believed that the people
would kill him.
Slnoe his confinement in Anbnrn
prison . several thousand letters have
been received for him at the
prison as well as a large number of ex
press paokages containing flowers and
fruit. The letters, flowers and frmt
have never reached the condemned man.
Letters have oome from cranks who
this morning. He was found lying h „ e written about the Bpeoies o{ tor .
between the wall and bed with
faoe downward and some arti
cles of olothing in his hand as if he
had died while in the aot of dressing.
A few minutes before Mr. Armstrong
was found dead he had been left sitting
on the side of his bed by J. J. Flynn, of
the Atlanta Machine Works, who had
gone out to get some beef tea for his
friend at his request. The chamber
maid was first to make the discovery.
It is thought he died of heart disease.

weeks ago, was very much pleased with
him.
ture to whioh they would put him if
they had the execution of justice in his
case. It is stated, however, that it
would be a matter of surprise if the
names of senders of fruit and flowers
were made publio.
The state prison department has pur
sued a uniform policy in regard to Ozol-
gosz.
An effort has been made to prevent
the murderer from gaining any noto

A two-mule country wagon was stand
ing near tho track when the dummy
came along. The males may have
backed a little, thus changing tho posi
tion of tile wagon, and the latter was
struck by the dninmy us it passed. The
mules, fortunately did not beceme
frightened, though tho wagon
tongne nnd some pieoos of ths haruoss
were broken.
A hack was standing in front of'
McCarthy's bar, and the wagon strnok
it a hard lick. One of the rear wheels
of tho hack was wreoked andsomeother

Wallace and Hie Big Shews
B. B. Wallaoe, by adhering to truth
ful and conservative methods In the
oonduoting of tbe big show bearing his
name, has demonstrated that it is
bio for a drons manager to
keep the oonfldenoe of the pnbllo. “Just
as advertised” is the oommon remark
made by people as they pass a billboard
on their way home' from the Wallaoe
Oirone. Every feature, every aot, every
animal and attraction advertised by Mr.
Wallaoe is produoad si advertised.
The Omaha Bee eaid: ”We have
been reading lately many compliment
ary comments on the greatly increased
rise and unquestioned merit of the new
ly equipped Great Wallaoe Shows, now
touring the West, bnt were agreeably
snrprised today, first by the magnitude
of the show is a whole,'as It; came la
sootlons on its elegantly eonstrnoted '
trains, and again by Its stupendous,
dean and novel parade. A show never
presented a mors gorgeous pageant.,
We visited the grounds later on a busi
ness errand, and again met a surprise.
Tbe show Is absolutely new throughout
and oovers not only the entire show Id,
hut all the streets surrounding them.
The tents at the afternoon performance
were paoked with’ visitors, and the dr
ess program, for novelty, great features,
oomedy and real attraotlveness, is far
superior to anything offered to an Oma
ha andlenoe for many years, and we
have had all of the so-called big shows.”
