2 tel Is fc Disks] Dial is Ctmiiig Upon Ds ’ 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 Extract of Roots and kept on vith it until t> day I lejotce in Rood health. Mrs. M. E. Tins ley, Bevier, Muhlenburg coun ty, Ky.

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.

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.

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. Execution* nt Vnlon Spring*, Ain., and I.ex ington, Ky.

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.

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. ? Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. $1; six for $5. Made only by C. I.
