up some other -trail. 'Pass over them

'There ain't no one weakmtnded

" "Firtcon years Is shore a long time,'
eavs Knrlght. an' then we all hop Into
our letters again. Finally Cherokee
breaks in onoe more.
" 'I ain't aimin' to Invest Wolfvllle In

" 'Who a-11 lose to It?' asks Dan Bogigs,
tome breathless.
" 'Why.' says Cherokee, 'It's every

ago."
" 'Yes,' says Boggs. a gettin' mighty
dtclded, 'an' you bet your saddle an'

a-warnln' an' I'm glad a whole lot It

'"You see. this yere stranger who
Cherokee alludes at. comes over from
Tucson a little while before thla, He

he allows he's called old "Bill Gentry'
to the boys: an' he an' Faro Nell are
particular friendly.
" 'Talkln' to him.' says Faro Nell, 'is
Jest like a lyln' in the shade. He knows
everything, too, all about 'books an'
things all over the world. He was a

" 'An' you may gamble," says Hoggs,
If Nell likes him he's all right."
" 'If Nell likes him. that makes him
all right," says Cherokee
"We was still talkln' and' readin' over
our mail In the postotfiee, when all at
once we hears Jack iMoore outside.

there, shore enuf, Is a notice offerin'
11,500 reward for some sharp who's been
a standin' up the stage over on the
Lord'burg trail.
" 'Whoever tacks this up, I wonder,"
cays 'En right, 'it never was here ten
minutes ago."
"Well, Jest you all hover around an'
watch the glory of Its comln' down,"
says Moore, a-cuttlrt It loose with his
knife an' tearln' It up. 'I herewith

F.nright. 'You speaks trooth like a run

Hoggs, a pickin' up an' readin' of the

" 'I reckon I posts that notice some

stage, an' who was then a santerln'
about the suburbs of the crowd listenln'
to the talk.
" 'WelU don't do It no more, pardner,"

A: Professional Nurse Afflletsd with
Bright' Disease of the Kidneys '
- - - Finds a Care.
'. (From the Buffalo News.) .
Mrs. A. E'. Taylor has resided In Bulta'o
for over forty years; her address Is 250
Herkimer avenue; as a professional nurse
he has nursed back to health many a suf
ferer. Disease In all Its varied forms have
become as familiar to her as to the regu
lar practitioner. Her occupation Is one
that taxes the strongest constitution, but
the fatigue of long watching and nurs
ing at last brought her to a bed of alcic
ness. Mr. Taylor speaks of her com
plaint and cure a follow: "After being
confined to my bed for some time my dis
ease assumed such a serious aspect that a
doctor was called. He pronounced my
ailment Bright' disease of the kidneys in
the third degree and a very bad case. My
limbs swelled up so that I could not walg
acres the floor, or. Indeed, help myself In
anyway. My f see bloated up and my eye
welled 0 that the sight was badly Im
paired. Thl condition continued for near
ly two month without any marked tin-
. provement from the doctor' treatment.
I have taken quart of buohu and Juniper.
I tried battery treatment, but all with
out any lasting Joenent until I felt like
finally giving up In despair. Hearing cf
Doan'i JCIdney Pill I gave them a trial,
and after, taking three boxes I was ablo
to-'gef u0 without assistance and walk,
something I-had-not-done In month. -1
continued steadily to Improve with their
use. The swelling In my leg left, the color

chalky color to a healthy bloom ' I now
etffstasr myself entirely cured and I shall
never rest .praising the little plll -that
saved me. . ; V- .

surprising discovery for kidney ailment.

grates on ua a whole lot. The Idee of a
mere stranger a-strolltn' In an a-tackln'
up of notices, dike he was a standin' a
pat hand on what he know an' we not
In it. Is a heap onpleasant. So don't do
it no more.
'Well. I don't aim to do t any more."
says the man. 'but I still clings to my
Idee that notices ain't no setback to this
camp.'
" 'Which the same beln' a mere thee-
ry. says Doc Peets. 'personal to your
se'f, I holds It would be onpoHte to dls
cuss it, so let's u all wheel under cover
for a drink."
"So we all line up on the Early Bird's
bar an the drink ends the talk, as
they aulers ought to.
"Along onto night we gets cooler, an'
by second drink time in the evenln' ev
eryone was movln' about, an' as It hap
pens, quite a band was In the Red
Light: some a drlnkln' an' exchangln'
of views, an' some buckln' the various
games which was goln,' wide open all
around. Cherokee Hall was a slttin
behind his box an' Faro Nell, who
lotted a heap more on Cherokee than
on any of us seemed like, from a little
girl, she'd give a pony for a smile from
Cherokee was slttin' up at his shoulder
on the lookout stool. The game was
goln' plenty lively when along comes
old Gentry. Cherokee takes a look at
him an' seem worried a little, thlnkln',
no doubt, of them 'hands the dead man
held.' but goes on dealin' without a
word.
'"Where you ' done been all day?"
asked Nell to the old man. 'I ain't seen
you none whatever since yesterday.'
" 'Why, I gets tired and done up a
lot slttin agin Cherokee last nignt,
says the eld man. 'an' so I Jest prowls
down In my blankets an sleeps till
about an hour ago.'
"So the old man buys a stack of blues
an sets them all on the ten. It was
Jest then In comes the big man who was
postin' of the notices former, an' poln'ts
a six-snooter at uentry an says:
" 'Put your hands up put them up
quick or I'll drill you. Old as you be I
don't take no chances.'
"At the first word Nell comes down
off her stool like a small landslide,
while Cherokee tirlngs a gun to the
front in a flash. The old man was right
up with the procession, too, an' stood
th'ar, h'ls gun In his hand, his eyes a
glitterln' an' his white beard a-curlln'
like a cat's. He was clean strain, he
was.
" 'Let me get a word In. gents. say
Cherokee, plenty ca'm; 'an' don't no
no one set In hk stack unless he's got
a hand. I does business yere my way,
an' I'm shorely due to down the first
man who shoots across any layout of
mine. 'Don't make no mistake, or the
next census'll count one behind, shore."
" 'What be you all aimin' to celebrate,
anyhow?' says Jack Moore, gettin' tine
big man's gun, while Boggs gets Gen
try's. 'Wlio's Wolfvllle entertaln'ln'
yere, I'd tike to know?"
" 'I'm a Wells-Faro detective,, says
the big man, 'and this yere,' polntln' to
old Gentry, 'is Jim Yates, the biggest
hold-up an' stage robber between here
an' 'Frisco. That old tarrapln'U stop a
tage like a young-one would a clock.
Jest to see whlat's Into It. He's the man
I was pastln' up the notice for this
mci'tiln'.'
" 'He's a liar,' says the old man, a
gettin' uzller every minute. 'Give us
our sixshooters an' turn us loose, an'
if I don't lance the roof of his lyln'
mouth with the front sight of my gun,
I'll cash in for hoss thief or anything else
ou My,'
" 'What do you say, Enrlght?' nays
.Moore; 'let us give 'em their Gatlln's
an let them lope. I've got money as
says the Wells-Faro bill paster can't
take this yere old Clmmaron a little
bit.'
" 'Which I trails In.' says Boggs,
'with a few chip s on tlhe same card.'
" 'No,' says Enrlght; 'If this yere old
man'e a rustlln' the mini's we can't know
It too quick. Wolfvllle Is a straight
csimp an don't back no criminal plays;
none whatever.'
"So Enrlght calls a meetln' of the
strangle rs, of which he was head, an'
we all goes over to the New York store
to talk It over. Before we done pow
wow two minutes up comes old Monte,
the stage driver, all dust an' cuss
words, an' allows he's been stood up
out by illhe Cow Springs nix hours before,
an' Is out the mall bax an' the Adams
Company's box. We all looked at old
man Gentry, an' he shorely aeemed to
cripple down a whole lot.
" 'Gentry,' aaya Peets after a minute,
Wilkin' over to him, 'I hears you tell
Nell you was sleepln' all day. Jest
take this yere committee to your bud
wer an' let' see how t looks some.'
" 'The turn's agin me,' said the old
man, 'an' I lose. I'll cut It short for
you-all an' tell you rght off the reel;
I held up the stage tthls afternoon me
self.' .
" This yere's straight goods, I takes
It,' says Enrlght, 'an' our dooty's plain.
Go over to the corral and get a lariat,
Moore.'
"Don't let Enrlght hang the old man,
Cherokee,' says Neil, 'beginning to cry.
'Please don't let 'em hang him.'
" "This hold In' your' gun on your
friends ain't no pllcnic,' says Cherokee,
flu&hin' up an' turnln' paler than ever,
"but your word goe with me, Nell.
Now this yere Is the way we doe. I'll
make Ithem a talk h" bring the best
hoss you see saddled. I'll still be talkln'
When you pome back, an' you creeps
up an' whispers to the old man to make
a Jump for te poney while I covers the
deal wrth my six-shooter. If they gets
him then, they'll get him In the smoke.
It's play In' tt low on Enrlght an' Peets
an' the rest, but I'll do it for you, Nell.'
"So Cherokee says to the girl good
by an' square himself for what he
knows will be a desperate play an'
from whicih it's goln' to be some unusual
If he oonwa out alive. Then he begins
to talk an' Nell makes a quiet break
for the corral. But no hoss was needed.
Chsrokee didn't talk a minute when all
at once the old man tins oft his chair in
a 'pleptlc fit. A 'plepflc fit Is very per
miscus an' tryln' an' when he comes to
himself he was camped Just this side
of the dead line, an' could only whisper,
" Come yere,' says he, a-motlonln'
to Cherokee, 'thnre's a stack of blues
where I seta It on the ten open, which
you ain't turned for yet. Take every
thing I got an' put It with It. If It
lose it's yours of course; If it win give
HKothelltJUeglrl.'
"Tbs was all he says an' he dies the
very next second on the list. There was
over 12,000 In his warbag an' we all
possesses curse'fs of It mighty prompt
an' goes over to the Red Light an put
It on the ten along of the stack of
blues. Cherokee goe on with the deal
an' I'm blessed Tf the ten wasn't loser
an' Cherokee - gets It all. "
," 'But I won't win agm' dead man,'
says Cherokee a' give it to Nell, who
wasn't so superstitious, .

A ouiiou story to narrated in an In
diaptapcut dtapatoti to the Chicago Her
ald la connection with the efforts of
feeble, old father and a heart-broken
mother in Illinois to get the governor
of Indiana to assist in -the capture or
the murderer of their, boy. He was a
promising young man, and he was killed
on the Indiana under very peculiar
circumstances. There Is a suburb of
Vinoenne known a "Ooosetown,"" and
also a gang of tough In "Gooaetown,
calling themselves the "Ooosetown
Rangers." There is also a number of
young ladles In the same suburb with
graces of mind and person.
These young girls objected to the
manner in -which the "Ooosetown
Rangers" disported themselves, and
they resolved that until the young men
conducted themselves better and
showed that they were entitled to re
spect, they would not receive them as
callers at their homes or accept them
as escorts. The "Goosetoiwn Hangers
responded to this boycott by declaring
that no young man from other parts
of the cty, of from anywhere else, for
that matter, should be permitted to
call upon the young ladlea of "Goose
town," and If anyone undertook to do
so, he would find It a perilous under
taking. After several young men had
been carried out with broken headsiand
fractured heads the young ladles of
"Uooscitown " were given a wide berth,
until Moses Latta, a young farmer,
living just across the Illinois state line,
began paying hil addresses to Miss
Agnes Conlin.
The youngster was stalwart, bold and
of fine address, and the young people
were soon betrothed. (Meantime the
"Ooosetown Rangers" had sent him re
peated warnings, but he laughed at
their threats. One night quite recently
they waylaid him, led iby the chief ot
the ranger. John Edallne, the young
llllonlsian was beaten and shot-to death
almost at the very door of his betrothed.
Edallne fled to avoid arrest, but one of
his accomplices was captured. A heavy
reward has been offered both by the
parents of the murdered young man
and by the county and city, but It is
believed that Edallne Is concealed by
his friends and will not be given up.
For this reason the bereaved parents
want the governor of Indiana to see
what he can do toward bringing the
assassin to justice. One good has ul
ready resulted from the terrible trair-
edy; the "Ooosetown Rangers" have
aisoanuea.
THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York. Aug. 21.-The railway
and miscellaneous stock market was
irregular throughout the day, and at
the close of business it Is fair to as
sume that a majority of operators left
the street decidedly mixed as to the
future course of prices. Sterling ex
change weakened, posted rates having
been reduced M, to tSDVs and 490.
Both -Sugar and Tobacco were highly
nervous throughout. Sugar at the
start broke from 113 to HOVs, rallied to
110 and later dropped to 1084. To
bacco rose from U5 to 98T and
dropped to 93a4. The other indus
trials were weak In sympathy. The
Grangers were the only stocks that
were not influenced by the gyrations
in the industrials and held stubbornly
strong from start to finish. The mar
ket closed Irregular, the Industrials
ruling weak and the railways steady
to firm. Net changes show losses of
ia per cent. The Grangers, . how
ever, gained 4aTt per cent. Total
sales were 338,267 shares.

Uappenlngs of Interest to the Staple
Trades and Particularly to the Trade
In Iron, Steel and Anthraolte Coal.
Norrtetown, Pa.. Aug. 21. The Nor
rlatown Glass works, which have been
shut down since April 1, 1894. will re
sume operations In September. Nearly
200 hands) will be given employment.
Philadelphia, Aug. 21. A statement
of claim was today filed In the United
Staes circuit court in the suit of the
Industrial Improvement company, of
New Jersey, against the Allentown and
Bethlehem Rapid Transit . company,
brought to recover 125,000 on unpaid
promissory notes, which fell due on the
first of last month. One of the notes
Is tcr $10,000 and three are for $5,000
each.
Philadelphia Press: As to the coal
trade, rumors which were sent out
from New York predicting an early
settlement of the difference between
the great companies, and that the
Reading plan of reorganization would
be made public next week, It can only
be said that there Is no knowledge on
those subject in this city. President
Harris is away, and will not be back
for a week. -Mr. Morgan Is on his
yacht off the Maine coast, and the peo
ple who control In the coal trade say
no new developments In reorganiza
tion are likely until action Is taken by
the courts In the foreclosure suit. This
seems probable, though it is known
that the plan of the Olcott committee
has been fully discussed and Is prob
ably ready to be put out. There is no
reason for thinking that the promulga
tion of the plan, which makes neces
sary an assessment of $25,000,000, will
have a stimulating effect on Reading
Junior securities, or an Immediate fa
vorable Influence on the coal trade.
As to the coal trade differences, it Is
eald 'President Wilbur has lately be
come convinced that something must
be done, and on consultatlons-wlth the
Reading people found that they were
willlnir to forward any plan which con
ceded that company 21 per cent, of
the anthracite coal tonnage. In street
circles In New York It seems to be de
sirable to get the presidents ot the
coal companies together.

"I don't know," said the friend,

subject at intervals to the wildest crav

the characteristics of a confirmed

ing struck me a few moments ago and
I at once determined to gratify it when
dinner time came. Then I suddenly re
called that I had promised to call this
evening on same ladies who are here
from -my home and I must keep that
promise. Yet my stomach Is shouting
for beefsteak a-nd onions and I am
wavering 'between duty and appetite."
"Can't you wait until after the call?"
asked "Uncle Jerry," solicitously.
"Never," aaid the friend, earnestly.
"Can't you postpone the call?"
"Imposelblp," said the friend.
"Well." said "Uncle Jerry." "I'll tell
you what to do. When dinner time
comes you go up to John C 's and get
your beefsteak and onions and eat "em.
