CHAS. W. COOK, of Valley Township. PAIR OF JAPANESE WERE FOUND DEAD NEW YOKK, May 10.-Side by side in the morgue a Japanese woman ami man lie dead today. The man has a ballet wound behind the left ear and the woman has a wound iu her breast and another in her head. The names of the dead pair are un known but the police are convinced that the man shot and killed the wo man aud then committed suicide in the Dry Dock hotel where their bodies were found. They registered there as "Myrou Lewis and wife. New York," yester day morning. In killing the woman the Japanese set the room on fire but extinguished it with his bare hands, burning himself severely, lie then end ed his own life. Poet and philosopher was the Jap anese and from verses and quotations from Huxley and Spencer found in hie pocket it is believed that he aud the woman may be the victims of a love tragedy. Some of the poems were writ ten iu English, German and in Jap anese. One of the Japanese poems translat ed, real as follows: "My darling, 1 cannot live without thee. " Weep no more, my little darling. I bep thee ; Weep no more, for I'll return to thee. Dry thy eyes, although the seas divide us. Sweet words of love shall reach thee yet from me." The Jap was handsomely dressed anc the woman with him was neatly gown ed. The man had the bearing of a sol dier. Iu his pockets was also found a racing card, indicating that he hac made several wagers at the race track, One of the quotations of the man'! own writing read : "woman never cares for a man unti he ceases to care for her." The police are trying to identify the bodies. There are no clues except thai the mau probably bought his hat it San Francisco, the hat mark bearing the name of that city. The Busy flan's Garden. Most busy men leave home early in the morning and get back late in the evening. But they generally have one or two hours of daylight and Satur day afteruoous in which they can fiud health, pleasure aud profit.by digging it out of the front and back yards. The only reason more men do nol have fine yards and gardens is because they are too lazy. Here are some sug gestions for those who desire to work small city lots: Iu the front some climbers will he wanted to drape and shade the porcti or veranda. For a south side or end the Virginia Creeper will give a dense shade, aud there is nothing better foi the purpose ; on the north east or west, may be planted Clematis paonlculats or C. Jackmanui, and Hall's Honey suckle is very desirable. If the house is a brick or stone the Japan Ampelop sis or Boston Ivy can be planted at the base of the wall and it will quickly furnish a large space with its shinint green foliage ;if the house is a wooder one the same viue can be planted tc run in ttie foundation wall and be kept restricted to that. This producei a very pleasing effect. There is no room at the front of the lot for large trees, but near the comei most remote from the house may be plauted an Althea or Rose of Sharon, or a Japan Quince. The rest of the front is free—merely the lawn. Op posite the middle of the house and or the far side of the lot near the line may be a little group of flowering shrubs, say, Weigela roses, Spirea Binardi and Hardy Hydrangea; thes» will give bloom from early to late. On the back lot may be trained some iiardy climbing vines, or if not thej will be covered by foliage or shrub bery. Around the lines of the bacfe lot,sides and end,make a garden bord er for liardy shrubs aud flowering plants. This border may be a uuifoin width of four or five feet, but the straight, lines will look somewhat still so. instead of running the line of the border straight, make it waving, run ning in and out,in ea-v.gentle curves, making the border from four to seven feet in width and there will be from seventy live to a Hundred feet of it in length, according to the size of the lot. Her.- are to be planted flowering shrubs aud har ly flowering plants. Your nursery man will tell you what is best suited to your climate. The rest of the gr innd is to be kept an open lawn. (letting New Business. The old-fashioned idea that it would be contrary to the ethics of banking for a conservative financial institution to make a public bid for new business through newspap r advertising has been pretty effectively exploded. Bank advertising is almost as com moo iiow adays as shoe or grocery advertising, aud equallv effective. The Philadel phia Record cites the exi»erienoe of the Commercial Staff hank of Grand Island, Nebraska, as typical. By four years of dignified publicity it has built up a volume of deposits equal to that which it took a competitor 20 years to accumulate. It is as easy to influence people in the disposition of their savings a-* it is to guidu them in their spending SENT ELEVEN TO THE GALLOWS The death a week ago, of Captain Thomas Aldersou, of Devil's Lake, N. D , removed one of the few surviving figures of the bloody Mollie Maguire Kebelliou iu the authracite region Aldersou was chief of the Heading Goal aud Iron Police, aud iu his cam paign against the Mollies, he co-op erated with Jaines McParlau, the famous detective whoso discoveries re sulted iu six haugings at in one day. McParlau, like Aldersou, was threatened scores of times with assassination, but lie is still living in the West aud is hale and prosperous. Captain Aldersou,who held hisoffice until ISS7, was credited with bavin# made the suggestion to President Frank lin B. Uowen.of the Reading,that Alan Pinkertou be employed to expose the Mollies. It was the result of the call ing iu of the Pinkertou men that Mc- Parlau, who became widely known throughout the anthracite region a* "James McKeuua," became an actor j in the terrible tragedy. It was iu February 187f>, that Cap tain Aldersou's most delicate work against the Mollies,was accomplished. By that time, after his long residence in the coal region, suspicion had be come aroused as to the identity of Mc- Parlau, and it was necessary to guard him with the greatest vigilance for fear he should be murdered and all the results of the investigation during the past years be lost. The men who had so long carried the affairs of the county with a high hand were now iu a state of demor alization. They apparently realized that they were at the end of their career. The prison and the gallows loomed up before them. They were determined to destroy all evidence of their criminal acts. The books and papers of the society were burned and it was resolved to murder McParlau. A letter was sent to the detective from police headquaitersiu order to deceive the Mollies. McParlau had all along pretended to be a fugitive from just ice, but to be ou friendly terms with Aldersou and Captain Linden, who were protecting him. This letter ad vised him to flee. McParlan received and opened the letter 111 company with a crowd of Mollies. "I'll not budge wan single inch to save them all from perdition!" ex claimed McParlau after reading the letter aloud to the crowd of Mollies "I am innocent. I'll only be arrested anyhow. An" if others stand by. why shouldn't I?" The Mollies applauded him for this exhibition of mock courage. They would have acted iu an entirely differ ent manner had they known that war rants had already beeu sworn out for their arrests. But the suspioion against the de tective could not be allayed. Plots were laid to kill him and throw his body down a deserted mine shaft, at which hiding place it would never he found. Deunis Dowling.a barly Mol lie was then designated to kill Mc- Parlau, but all these plans were frus trated by Captain Aldersou. Th 6 summary of the work of Captain Aldersou and those who were associated with him, shows that twelve Mollies were fouud guilty of murder in first degree ; four of murder in the secoud degree; four of being accessory to the murder; six of perjury iu establishing the familiar alibi, and mauy others of assault and battery. Eleven of these men were hanged. This is a record it is believed few officers of the law can equal. How's This ?

Tiie re a-on for this lies in the close nerve relationship between the brain and stomach and the fact that the irritation of either organ means the distress of the other. Nature intended the stomach should have regular hours —a time to work, a time to rest—aud when you break up this habit you upset the whole arrange ment. The stomach nerves become ex hausted, the glands refuse to act, the food does not digest—lies heavy, ler ments, and repeats. There is pain, gas forms, bloating occurs, the heart he comes irregular and nervous, iriitable feeling sets in. This is a nervous dyspepsia aud Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerv er Pills its cure. Mrs. James H.
