"Yes, we have to deal with some
queer people jllul some dangerous peo
ple," said a ponce captain, "and I must
say, hut not boastfully, that we now
and then have to use judgment that
Is at once quick and reliable. I re
member several years ago we had a
highwayman in the station house who
had shot a man and robbed him. He
was a dangerous criminal and a
mighty powerful man, and he was in
a good position to go down for life or
be executed, for his victim was at the
point of death. One night he asked
that Ibe sent to his cell. I had arrest
ed him and had tried to get a confes
sion from him, but all my efforts had
been vain. He had taken a violent
dislike to me, and he had laughed at
all my endeavors. The deduction I
made when I heard he wished to see
me was that he had changed his mind
and intended to confess, so I went to
the eellroom and talked with him.
"'Captain,' said he in a confiding
way, 'I want you to come in here and
sit down. Thjs secret Is making a
wreck of me, and I want to tell you
everything.'
"He seemed quite penitent, and with
out any hesitation I opened the cell
door and sat down on the bench beside
him.
" 'ls Mr. going to die?' was his
first question.
" 'The doctor says he cannot live,' I
replied.
" 'Then the chances for my going to
the chair are better than good?' asked
"I replied that they wore. The pris
oner lapsed apparently into deep medi
tation, and while the spell was upon
him he paced up and down the cell.
Suddenly he slammed the door of the
cell, placed himself before me and said
in a rather fearsome voice:
" 'l've finished one, and if I do two I
can get. nothing worse than the chair.'
"Saying which, ho leaped at me, lead
ing out a powerful blow as he did so.
I was, of course, up and ready for
him and hud a billy in my baud. He
had nothing but his big fists, feet and
teeth, any of which he was ready and
anxious to use, hut he was twice a
match for me even up. I don't know
how I did It. If he had got the best of
me just for a second, I would have
been, pounded to death; there is nd
doubt of that. I rapped him on the
head time and time again with my
billy, felt bis blood flying over me,
hoard liiin snarl and also felt the im
print of liis powerful fists. It took me
five minutes to lay him out, and I
must say that 1 never spent five busier
minutes in my life. Ob, lie's in prison
now. He's doing 20 years.
"I remember another little experi
ence I had tlint is not easy to forget.
I was sitting in my private office one
afternoon when a well built, stylishly
clad young man entered, bowed pleas
antly abd sat down on the edge of the
sofa.
"'I never was down in this part of
the city before,' he .said, 'and, being
here, I thought I'd stop in and visit
with you.'
" 'That's right,' I rejoined. 'l'm al
ways glad to receive callers.'
"I looked closely at the man. 1
couldn't place him at all. It seemed
that I had seen him some place too.
He was about 30 years old, was stal
wart. and lind an attractive face that
bore slight traces of dissipation.
" 'Beg pardon, my friend,' said I,
'but I really can't just place you. I
know we've met, but where?'
"'No, we haven't met before. I
never saw you before today in my life,
I'm from Baltimore. I've heard of you
a lot of times.' *
"The dialogue lagged for a few mo
ments, and in that time I scrutinized
the stranger. He mystified me in a
small degree, and I was interested in
him. He broke the silence:
" 'Say, captain, I've got something
very important to see you about. I'll
just close this door, and it's just as well
that no one,knows what we do or say.
Now, I wish first to impress you with
the importance of this meeting. It is
the most momentous occasion of my
life, and on its success or failure de
pends my future. Captain (the stran
ger leaned over and whispered in my
ear), I'm going to cut your throat!'
"I was sitting with my profile to the
stranger, and he was leaning toward
me. Casting my eyes sidewise, I saw
that he held an .opened razor in his
right hand. 1 did not move immedi
ately.
" 'So you're going to cut my throat?'
I said, quietly turning part way
around.
" 'Yes, captain. I have been com
manded by God to do so. I'm sorry,
but it must be done. Get ready.'
" 'That's fill right, my friend. I'm
perfectly willing you shall carry out
your mission; but, to tell the truth, I
liate to got blood all over iny furniture
here. It wouldn't be nice to dirty up
the of lice, would it? Suppose we go in
the back room?'
" 'That'll do. Come on,' rejoined the
maniac quickly.
"I got up. The maniac's back was
toward me. With one bound I had
my arms about his waist and bis arms
pinned to ids side. I then called for
help, and two officers rushed into my
office. It took four big men to put that
maniac in a cell. He's in an asylum
now."—Buffalo Express.

"Please, mamma, please!"
"Fapa, I beg of you do not refuse!"
Cordelia I'asdetout clung wildly about
her fond but obdurate mother's neck
and rained kisses upon her cheeks,
while Anastasia, her sister, did like
wise to her father.
Hut their seemed of no
avail. The elder l'asdetouts shook
their gray heads firmly in negation,
though it was evident that the neces
sity of refusing their daughters' re
quest pained them beyond measure.
Gently, but with decision, as one
shakes a hard shelled crab from out a
scalp net, the parents disentangled
their daughters' arms from their shoul
ders; then, mastering his emotions, the
father said:
"No, Anastasia and Cordelia, what
you ask of us is too much! Never be
fore have we refused a request of
yours. We have moved from city to
city, from state to state, to the injury
of my business and the destruction of
your mother's health, in order to de
ceive people* as to your ages. For the
last ten years it has been nothing but
move on for us, for every time the peo
ple of one place would begin to suspect
your true ages you have insisted on us
packing up and going elsewhere, that
you might start anew at 22 and 23, re
spectively. We have submitted to this
nomadic life for our love of you, but
your most recent demand Is too much.
We absolutely refuse!"
The daughters sobbed like anything.
In fact, they sobbed like everything.
But their linn parent remained firm.
"No," continued Mr. I'asdetout; "we
will not, absolutely will not, celebrate
our silver wedding again in order to
prove to people that you two cannot
be over 24 at the outside! The idea!"—

TAKE WATER FOR MEDICINE.
A Health Producer Which IN Avail
able Everywhere.
There Is no doubt that we do not
drink enough. Our bodies consist
largely of water, and the average man
needs to drink from four to six pints
of water daily in order to maintain
health. This is the amount of water
eliminated from the body by means of
:li© kidneys, the skin and lungs. It is
evident that a fresh supply is constant
ly needed to supply this lost aid in the
process of digestion and carry away
waste matter.
If the amount of water imbibed is
not sulHeiont for all this, the health
must suffer. Air, water and food are
the essentials of life in the order given.
A person eau fast a long time—ex
periments have proved this—but that
same person could not get along with
out water for that length of time.
As a usual thing women are the ones
who suffer the most from an Insuffi
ciency of water. Mothers should see
to it that their children have plenty of
water to drink.
There is a diversity of opinion re
garding drinking at meals. Some as
sert that the practice is injurious, as it
dilutes the gastric juice. Others again
claim that a glassful of pure drinking
water taken during tihe process of mas
tication is healthful. On one point,
however, all authorities agree—namely,
that ice water is injurious.
Generally speaking, the theory advo
cated by the best physicians nowadays
is to driuk often and much. It cleanses
the system, increases circulation and
helps to make a clear complexion.
Therefore, ye men- and women, the lat
ter driuk. Take clear, pure,
sterilized water and be thankful so
simple a remedy of nature is near at
hand.—Table Talk.
Fireproof Snfon.
"For city use in modern buildings,"
said a safe manufacturer, "safes are
nowadays made thinner walled than
formerly, thus giving them more room
inside in proportion to the space the
safe occupies. The modern building
is fireproof, or substantially so, and in
ease of lire the safe does not fall down
through the burned floors into a mass
of burning debris in the cellar, but it
stays where it has been placed, sup
ported by the steel floor beams of the
room and, with less around it to burn,
subjected to comparatively less heat.
"Under suchconditions the thin wall
ed safe is as fireproof as the thick wall
ed safe would be under the conditions
in which it is used In the old style
buildings, for use in which the thick
walled safe is still commonly sold."—

$25,000 EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Diiriiiu Tln ft of Money I'ncknße
From n C., 11. uiiil Q. Car.
Chicago, Aug. 20.—The mystery of a
$25,000 express robbery is perplexing
officials of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad company, the Commer
cial National bank of Chicago and the
Adams Express company.
The $25,000, which was in hills of
large denomination, was shipped Friday
morning by the lmnk through the express
company over the Burlington road. Its
destination was Burlington, la., and it
was drawn to the account of the rail
road company on the order of J. <\ Peas
ley, the vice president and treasurer.
Somewhere between Chicago and Bur
lington the package containing the mon
ey was opened, the currency abstracted,
some folds of brown paper substituted
and the parcel restored to its former ap
pearance.
When the huge theft was discovered,
there was consternation. So few per
sons had known of the withdrawal from
thi' and the ensuing removal to the
express car that the officials hoped at
first that it would be an easy matter to
trace the crime home. But up to last
night little progress had been made by
the score or more detectives detailed on
the case. They found that the men on
the run to Burlington were long and
trusted employees, and suspicion was re
moved from the messenger at once. This
has only made the affair more compli
cated.

GILBERT GATES ALIVE?
New Development In the Jester
Murder Case.
OLEEGYMAN TELLS ODD STOEY.
lii 1H7(I, Five Yearn After the Sni
lioNcd Crime, lie Saw a Gilbert
Gll ten on the Way to Texna—Tliinki
lie WUH John W.'M llrother.
St. Louis, Aug. 20. —Since the dramat
ic trial and acquittal of uj?od Alexander
Jester in New London, Mo., for the al
leged murder of Gilbert Gates in 1871
the Rev. C. A. Emmons of Mount Ver
non, this state, has come forward and
told of meeting a man named Gilbert
j Gates in 1870, live years after the crime
for which Jester was acquitted is alleg*
I ed to have been committed.
Alexander Jester and young Gates,
who was or is a- brother of John W.
Gates of steel and wire fame, traveled
westward together in 1871. Gates dis
appeared, while Jester afterward was
found with Gates' team and a part of
his clothing. He said he hail purchased
them from Gates, who had given up
the trip in disgust. He was arrested
and managed to escape from jail.
Less than a year ago Jester, white
haired and bent, was arrested in the In
dian Territory, where he was living with
his wife, and was brought back to Mis
souri to stand trial for the alleged crime.
Witnesses from all parts of the coun
! try were brought together by the prose
, cutibn. After a trial lasting six weeks
j the jury acquitted him. The prosecution
! was uuable to prove that Gates was
dead, as his body never was found. The
1 contention was that Gates' body had
: been thrown into the Mississippi river by
! Jester.
I A few days after the close of the trial
a letter was received in New London by
Sheriff Richard Jones asking about the
! case. It was from the clergyman in
Mount Vernon.
! The sheriff gave to Dr. Emmons the
information he desired, and on Friday
j another letter from I)r. Emmons was
received.
In this Dr. Emmons says that in the
spring of 1870, with his brother-in-law
and his family, he was traveling from
Callaway county, Mo., to Texas, and at
about Fort Smith, Ark., he fell in with
a man about 25 years old who was driv
ing a four mule team. The man had
with him a woman about 18 years old
who was introduced as his wife. They
had a little boy with them about 2 years
old, and there was also a young man who
was known as Sam, who was 18 years
old. Dr. Emmons in his letter says:
"The man told me his name was Gates,
and I heard his wife call him Gilbert 50
times while we traveled together. They
were bound for western Texas, and we
parted after two weeks near Clarksville,
Red River county, I going on to visit my
brother, and he told me he was bound for
Brown county, on the Colorado river."
The clergyman also gives a good de
scription of Gilbert Gates, saying the
man had large, expressive brown eyes,
as did the brother of John W. Gates.
He adds other details which would seem
to indicate that Gilbert Gates was alive
in 187(5.
He says that all through the trial He
kept trying to recollect where lie had
heard the name Gilbert Gates and that it
was only the day before the verdict was
reached that he was able to recollect it,
and then it all came back to him like a
flash.
Dr. Emmons is a member of the Meth
odist conference of Missouri and is well
known in the state.
Sheriff Jones hag sent the letter to
John W. Gates, with the suggestion that
he cause an invoßtifcetion to be made in
Brown county, Tex.
