Like a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the chest
and sides, and someties in the
back. They feel dull and sleepy,
the mouth has a bad taste, espe
cially in the morning. A sort
of sticky slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor
There is a feeling like a heavy
load on the stomach; sometimes
a faint, all gone sensation at the
pit of the stomach which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are
sunken, the hands and feet be
come cold and clammy. After a
■while a cough sets in, at first
dry, but after a few months it is
attended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while,
and sleep does not seem
to afford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, irrita
ble and gloomy, and has evil
forebodings. There is a giddi
ness, a sort of whirling sensa
tion in the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels become
costivejthe skin is dry and hot at
times; the blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites of the
eyes become tinged with yel
low, the urine isscanty and high
colored, depositing a sediment
after .standing. There is fre
quently a spitting up of the
food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with a
Sweetish taste; this is frequently
attended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes im
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popula
tion has this disease in some of
its varied forms.
It has been found that physi
cians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it lor a liver complaint,
Dthers for kidney disease, etc.,
etc , but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Shaker Ex
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei
gel’s Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care should be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, of
Chulafirmee, Cleburn county,
Ala., writes: “My wife has been
so much benefited by Shaker I
Extract of Roots or Seigel's ,
Syrup that she says she would
rather be without part of her
food than without the medicine.
It has done her more good than
the doctors and all other medi
cine put together. I would ride
twenty wiles to get it into the
hands of any sufferer if he can
get it no other way. I believe
It will soon sell in this State
better than cotton.”
TESTIMONY FROM TEXAS.
Mrs. S. E. Barton, of Varner,
Ripley county, Mo., writes that
Bhe had been long afflicted with
dyspepsia and disease of the
urinary organs and was cured
by Shaker Extract of Roots.
Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant,
cf the same place, who sold
Mrs. Barton the medicine, says
he has sold it for tour years and
never knew it to fail.
SHE WAS ALMOST DEAD.
I was so low with dyspepsia
that there was not a physician
to be found who could do any
thing with me. I had fluttering
of the heart and swimming of
the hea l. One day 1 read your
pamphlet called “’Life Among
the Shakers,” which described
my disease better than I could
myself. I tried the Shaker

White Caps Again Committing Outrage*—
County Officials Afraid <>f Thein.
Tndlv.apolls, Novciidier 3.—-A telegram
from southwestern Indiana says that the White
Caps are again out committing more outrages.
Outlaws visited the hoiuc of John Amy, in
Harriston county,and, in his presence,stripped
his wife and administered forty lashes laid on
hard. It is said that the county officials are
thoroughly terrorized, as is shown by the fact
that the case of (diaries Langford, of Mount
J’rospect, ( ravvford county, was presented to
the grand jury with uroofs of identity of the
men who outraged his family, but the jury re
fi'S' : to present a true bill. Langford lore the
masks froni the faces of two of his assailants,
and recognized his nearest neighbor ami dead
lii st (inmy in one. In spite of this lie could
not induce any prosecution by the court, which
feared the vengeance of his assailants.
Her Captain Was Drunk at the Time the
V< sse) Sunk.
Chicago, November 4.- Edgar Hall, brother
of the ond engineer of the wrecked pro
pi lb r. Vernon, slated yesterday that the last
time his brother was in Chicago he told him
that (':• plain Thorp, master of the Vernon,
had an attack of delirium tremens while on
top of the pilothouse.
Axel Stone.the only survivor of the disaster,
when ask-, d if ho ever saw Captain Thorp
drunk, replied:
“The captain was drunk most of tho time
and he was very’ drunk when we left Sheboy
gan last week. While we were coming through
the straits the second mate Baid to him : ‘Sober
up, you drunken beast, and take care of
tliis boat and the people.’ The captain told
him to go to hell. I was in the cabin at tho
time and heard every word that was said.
Friday night, which was tho night that the
st- iuner was lost, tho captain was as drunk as
I ever saw him, and he kept taking a drink
every little while from a bottle that he carried
in his c> at p- cket. I guess that is why thofirst
mate stayed on deck all the time. He knew
that the antain was so drunk that ho hardly
knew what he was about, and was probably
m. r. the captain would do something foolish.
If t o < ’.r tain had l»cen sober, I don’t believe
t: <• v <• . would have been lost, for any sober
man w uld have turned back when ho saw how
badly <ie acted in the big sea. Both mates of
the Vernon wore captains who had taken
matt•>’ berths fur the lack of better employ
ment.
Another Clue to the St. T.ouis Explosion Dis
covered.
St. Lorrs. November 4. —Officers Stone and
Balmer, detailed tv watch the ruins of the
Fourteenth street explosion, while walking
over the debris last night at 10:30 o’clock, un
ci- I bed an iron hemisphere, which, on exami
nation, proved to b«? the remains of a dyna
mite bomb. The infernal machine was carried
to police headquarters, and the cause again re
verted to the dynamite theory, the rank and
silo of police Rrring absolute proof of the fiend’s
work in the latest discovery. Detectives, how
ever, were unshaken in their belief that the
catastroplu- wapnrolyan accident,as they can
find no motive for the deed and the bomb was
found among the debris that had been care
fully overhauled the day before.
They arc open in thwr assertions that the
bomb was placed there yesterday by some of
the son: ationallsts, who have, been writing let
ters to the police and newspapers, declaring
that they were given five hundred dollars “to
do the job.’’ Already half a dozen cranks have
sent as many letters to each of the St. Louis
papers claiming that they were tho agents of
the horrible crime.
And Then Suicided A Gambler’s Terrible
Crime.
Lovisvtlle, November 4.—Mrs. Mary Bru
ner called this morning at tho residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Charles B. Brownfield, and

unusually legible hand, was found:
'l o all whom it may concern: I, ( harles B. Brown
fiel*l. murdered my «lcur wife ami baby; also W. F.
Brum r, my bmther-in law. I killed iny wife and
baby because 1 was tired of life and dfd not want

A Jersey man Knocked Down by a Swipe of a
Big Snake** Tail.
S u.em, N. J., November, s.—The people of
Elmer ami vicinity, in this county, are much
excited over an unpleasant visitor in tho shape
of a monster snake. A few days ago John
Vah Meter, a farmer, was cutting down the
shrubs and suckers along tho fence between
his farm and that of Horace B. Shoemaker.
While at work ho was stuck with the tail of a
largo spotted snake and knocked down.
When he regained his footing he made tracks
for home. While fleeing he hastily observed
the monster, and pronounced it as being fully
twenty-live feet long and as thick as a stove
pipe. When ho had r<‘eovered from his fright
he organized a gang of a dozen of tlio local
residents and went in search of tho huge rep
tile. but tho monster could not be found.
Ferdrlck Vineyard, who occupied tho same
farm about twenty years ago, stated lie saw
the same reptile win n ho was a tenant. It
was then just as long as it is now and was ex
ceedingly bold. Daniel Hitehner, who was a
farm-mind at tho same time, for years related
startling stories of tho “yaller cover*’ order
about tho “boay-constricter that hankered
around tho lower saw mill and swollowed
negro babies.’’ This is supposed to bo tho
traditional >uakc, and. in consequence, tho
whole locality is somewhat uneasy when
wandering abroad. Tho s* rpent is said to
make its heme in a swamp just below Elmer,
ami parties are nun out every day hunting for
him.

A CLUB MOUSE BURNED.
Chicago, November 3.—At nearly 4 o’clock
this morning tire was discovered intheChicago
chib, in Mongoe street, directly opposite the
ladies’ entrance to tlie I’almer house. By tlio
time the first relay engines had rattled up to
tlio lire, the flames had spread throughout tlie
tilth floor and were bursting from tlio windows
on all sides, while signs of tire could be seen
on tlio fourth floor. A general alarm was
promptly turned in, and in fifteen minutes a
score of engines, hook and ladder trucks and
hose carts thundered down tlie street and
clamored up to the fire. A wild panic followed
at tlio Palmer house. At tlie windows on
Monroe street appeared a hundred frightened
faces, peering into the streets, and at the sight
of tlie steamers, a rush for escape followed, un
der the impression that the hotel was on fire.
Half clad ladies and gentlemen tumbled out
into tlie halls and shrieked wildly for help.
All the bell boys were promptly sent to the
rooms of guests and with tlie aid of clerks suc
ceeded in calming tlio panic, though many of
the guests refused to return to their rooms un
til the hose carts had reeled up their hose and
with other apparatus had started home. Half
a dozen club members, and as many women,
who are employed about the club, were asleep
in the building at the time. They had no
warning of the flames until the firemen rushed
into their apartments and pulled them out
bodily.
The fire started on the fifth floor, in the
kitchen, from a defective flue, it is supposed,
or a carelessly smothered fire in the range.
Leads of hose were run on all high buildings,
entirely surrounding the club and half a hun
dred streams of water poured into it from all
the windows.
WAS IT A HOAX?
Washington, November 3.—An attempt
was made tonight either to kill or maim Chief
Justice Waite, of tlio United State supreme
court,(or perpetrate a silly hoax. About half
past six a small box was sent to his house,
through the special delivery postal service. It
was a pasteboard box, about ten inches by six,
looking .something like a valentine box and was
addressed in a small cramped and apparently
disguised back-hand writing:
To the Hon. Chief Justice Waite, 11151 street N.
W. Washington. D. C.
Near the bottom were tho words “Important
papers,’’ underscored. Tlio thing enclosed
was a glass tube about ten
inches long and of the diameter
of a lead pencil. Tho tube was bent at an
angle of about (fl degrees, mid was fastened by
means of small pieces of heavy paper pasteil
over it. The tube for most of its length con
tained a jet black liquid, but about one and a
half inches from the end was a percusion cap
separating the fluid from a little more than an
inch of coarse powder, apparently what is
known as atlas powder. At the other end of
tho powder was another percusion cap, and to
this was attached a wire which
was apparently intended to explode
the tui o. This wire was joined to a
small rubber baud fastened to one side of tlie
box and another wire rau from tho rubber to a
“hook and eye,” which was held in place by a
piece of paper pasted over it. If tlio machine
is really what it seems to be, tlio raising of tlie
lid would have exploded it. Before it readied
tho justice's house, however, tlio box was
stamped on one side by tho postofficc employes
and the force witli which tlie blow was struck
in stamping caused tlie wire to slip through
tho hook and eye, thus severing tlio nec
essary connection. There are some cir
cumstances which lead to tlie suspicion
that whole tiling is a hoax. The person
though whom tlie matter was brought to tlie
attention of the police is a young man who
sells items to newspaper correspondents and
who is not by many regarded as trust worthy.
His name is withheld at tlie request of the
I police, to w hom lie told substantially the fol-
I lowing story:
At'out six o’clock lie went to the postofflee
to mail a letter and going to one of tho desks
to address it, ho notice d a| man putting
tlie address of Chief Justice Waite
on the package. Ho says ho
thought nothing of it at the time and there
fore di t not observe the man closely enough to
I be able .o identify him. When in the street,
I howet er, the thought came to him that there
[ was something suspicious about it, as tho jus
' tice had, on Wednesday, delivered the opin
, ion denying the writ of error to the condemned
Chicago anarchists. He, therefore, went to
| the house of tho chief justice and inquired of
I lii,n it b.o had reni'. cd the l ox. Tho chief
i justice said he had not, and the young
min went to the postotlice and ascertained
I that tlie box bad been delivered at 6:30
i o’clock, Henext informed the correspondent of
■ the Chicago Tribune and Cincinnati Commer-
I ei.il-tiazette of tlie matter and offered to tell
' them the story about it. Tlio correspondents,
i to make further investigation, and went to
■ the police station and told tlie story to Dotoc
’ the Sergeant llolliinbcrger. who immediately
j called < n the- chief justice, who then ac-
I know’.edged receiving the box and gave it to
| the sergeant.
The chief justice sai.l ho had received the
box vhtle at dinner and had opened it. b-.it
i without l>. ing b.armed. tho wire w hich w is to
have exphai d it having l>een detached, as
already stated. Judge Waite did not attach
any nn; oitance to tho affair, and said ho
thought it a s national li-mx. The sergeant
brought tho lu'xto police headquarters, where
it is now held as evidence. Sergeant llollau-
Ix rgcr said bo bad i.o clue to tlie sender of tlio
box and that the young man was unable to
give ary description of the man whom he had
seen a bin-sing it before mailing it
Washington, November 4.—Sherbnyne G.
Hopkins, the person through whom the police
i indirectly learned last evening that the myste-
rious looking package li ad been sont through
tlie mails to Chief Justice Waite, made a ccn
fe.-sion this afternoon to Inspectors Raff and
Home, in which he admitted that the scheme
was invented by himsedf and Arthur B. Sperry,
: a reporter on the Critic, an afternoon paper
here, for the purpose of creating a sensation.
Inspector Raff says that Hopkins also admit
ted that another purpose was to raise some
money through the sale of the sensation to
newspaper correspondents. Both Hopkins
and .Sperry were immediately arrested upon
the charge of conspiracy to defraud R. J.
Wynne,of the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
Hopkins also said in liis confession that the
package contained a few grains of powder,just
sufficient to burst tlie tube and alarm the per
son who might open tlie package; a quantity
of shoe blacking, common writing ink and tw o
exploded percussion caps.
Assistant Attorney-General Bryant, of tho
postoffice department, said today, in reference
to the transmsssion of explosives through tlio
mails and the penalty attached to mailing tho
same, that the postal laws proper only declare
unmailablo explosives or other matter
liable to injure tlie mails or persons of
those who handle them and make
it tlie duty of postal employes
to withdraw such matter from tlie mails when
discovered.
Hopking and Sperry secured bail later in
the afternoon, and are to appear in po
lice court tomorrow morning and answer to the
charge of conspiracy to defraud T. O. Wynne
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Curiosities of Law.
From the Omaha World.
Judge—Stand up.
Prisoner—l claim the right under the law to re
main seated, y’r honor.
"How so?’’
“The law says no man can be made to criminate
himself, an’ if I stand up I’ll criminate myself.”
"That point Is well taken, and i’ou may remain
seated. You are accused of stealing a pair of breech
es tom this man, but I can find no evidence against
you.”
"None at all, y’r honor.”
"You are discharged.”
"Thank you, y’r honor.”
"By the way, why were you unwilling to stand
up?”
“Isl stood up the man would see I had his breech
es on, y’r honor.”
DYSPEPSIA
Causes its victims to be miserable, hopeless,
confused, and depressed in mind, very irrita
ble, languid, and drowsy. It is a disease
Which does not get well of itself. It requires
careful, persistent attention, and a remedy to
throw off the causes and tone up the diges
tive organs till they perform their duties
willingly. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proven
just the required remedy in hundreds of cases.
“ I have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla for dys
pepsia, from which I have suffered two years.
I tried many other medicines, but none proved
so satisfactory as Hood’s Sarsaparilla.”
Thomas Cook, Brush Electric Light Co.,
New York City.
Sick Headache
“For the past two years I have been
afflicted with severe headaches and dyspep
sia. I was induced to try Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla, and have found great relief. I cheer
fully recommend it to all.” Mbs. E. F.
Annable, New Haven, Conn.
Mrs. Mary C. Smith, Cambridgeport, Mass.,
was a sufferer from dyspepsia and sick head
ache. She took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
found it the best remedy she ever used.
