Shepherd Six Million Dollars In
Mexican Mines.
It Is consevatively estimated that
"Boss" A. R. Shepherd, whose death
occurred at his home in the mining
camp of Batopilas, Chihuahua, Mexico,
left a fortune of about ! J,000,000. Most
of this is in the shape o dividend-pay
ing mining stocks and i.: mining prop
erties which he owned individually. He
mado all his fortune in the 19 years
that he had resided in Mexico. Bato
pilas, where he made his home, is sit
uated in the heart of the Sierra Mad
res, more than 200 miles from railway
communication. It is a long and diffi
cult trip over a winding burro trail be
tween Chihuahua and Batopilas. It is
over this narrow trail that millions of
dollars of bullion have been brought
from the mines and a vast tonnage of
mining machinery taken into the dis
tant camp, all on the backs of burro 9.
A few years ago "Boss" shepherd had
a piano brought from New York, and
shipped on the backs of burros in
pieces to Batopilas. where the Instru
ment was put together and played in
his home. He had many exciting ex
periences during hIS long rcsdence In
the wilds of Mexico. Only a short
time ago his life was attempted by a
Mexican, who shot at him at close
range.

Recent Suicide Makes Public an Extraordinary Case
of Self-Sacrifice.

My love was greater than word can
tell. BILL."
These words, scrawled with trem
bling hand on a sheet of common note
paper, were addressed to Mrs. Charles
Stierle, Newlon, Mont., by the man
who first married her, William W.
Hately.
Then, on the lawn In front of his
boarding-house at Omaha, and with
his former's wife name upon his lips,
Hately killed himself by shooting.
Hately went to Omaha many years
ago, as the residents of that new city
William Hately.
use the terra "many." Fifteen years
ago he entered a clothing company's
employment and soon became one of
its most trusted employes. Three
years later Mattie May Lowe, the
daughter of a family well known and
in comfortable circumstances, be
came his wife. Two children were
born as a result of the marriage-
Jean, now eleven, and Robert, now
nine years of age.
The Hately home, though not large,
was happy and filled with ordinary
comforts. Hately came from a good
family, one that knows how to live
well. His mother, Mrs. Thomas Hate
ly of No. 4 Cross Row, Gateshead,
England, is reputed to be wealthy, but
Hately's nature was one of independ
ence, and although frequently strug
gling against a semi-poverty, he al
ways refrained from applying for as
sistance from his mother or from his
brother-in-law, E. F. Deright, a prom
inent safe dealer in Omaha.
His wife was always affectionate
and seemingly content in her posi
tion, although her friends say she
sometimes sighed for more of the
world's comforts than Hately was cap
able of giving her.
Hately a little over a year ago
moved to Newlon, Mont., taking his
wife and two children with him. Pov
erty, gaunt and real, there overtook
him. He was no longer able to pro
vide his wife with the comforts to
which she had been accustomed, and
he noticed that her affection for him
was rapidly departing. It was a still
greater grief for him when he dis
covered that her love had not only
been lost to him, but that her heart
had been won by another, Charles
Stierle, wealthy, manly and withal
honorable. Not a taint of suspicion
was directed against the wife. Al
though loving Charles Stierle and with
the former love for her husband dead
within her, she still followed the duty
of a wife and uncomplainingly clung
to him. But Hately saw.
It was agreed that a divorce should
be obtained by Mrs. Hately with Hate
ly's consent, so that she could wed her
new love. The divorce was granted
and Hately never uttered a murmur.
Hately returned to Omaha tame-

dlately after the divorce was granted.
He procured a positicn with Thomas
Kilpatrick & Co., and for the past year
had shown no failure in his duties
and no reduction in his commercial
abilities because of his troubles.
New Mining System.
A gold-bearing clay found in Santa
Cruz county, Arizona, is of such a
refractory nature that the usual meth
ods of separation have failed abso
lutely to extract the gold therefrom.
After practically every known meth
od had been tried and failed, the in
genious scheme of drying the gouge
thoroughly and beating it vigorously
with a club was adopted, with com
plete success. This is a mining sys
tem unknown in any other part of the
world.
Enforcing Obnoxious Laws.
The city marshal of Mexico, Mo., is
causing a good deal of disturbance in
that city. He insists on enforcing the
ordinance which provides that all j
places of business shall be closed on
Sunday. This absurd proceeding has
so outraged the feelings of the alder
men that five of them have resigned,
another threatens to follow suit, and
even Mayor Jones intimates his inten
tion to do likewise. Thus the odd sit
uation is presented of the lawmakers
refusing to assume responsibility for
the government of a place where tho
law is enforced. The marshal says he
believes in Gen. Grant's declaration
that the way to repeal an objection
able law is to enforce it.
Plan to Honor Gen. Sigel.
Admirers of the late Gen. Franz Si
gel propose to ask the New York city
authorities to change the name of
Cedar Park, at One Hundred and Fif
ty-second street and Mott avenue, to
Sigel park, to honor the memory of
the patriot and soldier. Gen. Sigel
was a resident of the Bronx for more
than a quarter of a century, and his
friends say that as he was the most
prominent veteran of the civil war
' who lived in that part of the city it
would be appropriate to commemorate
his patriotic services in such a sub
stantial way. Many public officials
and citizens of the Bronx favor the
plan.
Father and Son in One Pulpit.
Recently father and son appeared
in the same Brooklyn pulpit—that of
the Greenwood Baptist church. Rev.
Dr. Robert Bruce Hull is pastor there,
and his son, Rev. Robert Chipman
Hull, was well received. The latter
is just turned 21 years of age, and
during tho summer has been preach
ing in the Strong Place Baptist
church, Brooklyn. The father
preached Sunday morning and the
son in the evening.
The Law of Compensation.
In days gone by when as a swain
I used to court the girls,
I'd often note the monstrous hats
Above their fluffy curls.
And then I found the reason for
Their hats' most wondrous growth.
For underneath them —from the sun
Was shelter for us both.
Alas! those days are past and gone,
Their hats are now quite small;
I find' now when the sun is hot,
No room beneath at all.
But compensation's everything,
'Tis nature's rigid law;
The girls now join me underneath
My spreading Panama.
Farmers Keen in Business.
Johnstone Bartlett, a lightning-rod
agent, called on the prosecuting at
torney to-day and asked that warrants
be issued for the arrest of twelve
Ajtchison county farmers, says the
Nebraska State Journal. He says he
started out of Atchison a week ago
with a team of good horses and a
new spring wagon, but that during
tho week lie was swindled out of ev
erything, in trading horses, and was
compelled to walk back to town. Ho
did no business, and lost all his
lightning rods. The prosecuting at
torney said that getting the best of a
horse trade was no violation of law,
and Bartlett left for tho east, saying
bank presidents were easier than
farmers.
Stood Dead in Doorway.
A Boston man who has just returned
from ruined St. Pierre says that a
friend of his who entered the city as
soon after the eruption as the fire and
heat allowed, spoke one evening of
entering a house in St. Pierre in an
endeavor to find the family's bodies.
There stood in the doorway a strange
man to whom he touched his hat as
ho went in. He found the family all
dead within, and, sickened by the
sight, made haste to come out again.
In the doorway he again encountered
the stranger, and, thinking he might
mean some mischief, this time ob
served him more closely. He was
looking into the eyes of a man two
days dead.—Boston Transcript.
New Idea In Dirigible Balloons.
Flying machines steering by Hertz
ian waves was Patrick Alexander's
striking position at the late Berlin
scientific ballooning conference. He
claims that an unmanned balloon,
carrying instruments for registering

and steered back to the starting
point.
PLAGUE OF ANTB.
Billions of the Creatures Havs Taken
New Orleans.
By a sort of eminent domain billions
of small, red ants—hyinenopterous;
genus Linnaen —have taken possession
of New Orleans. The quaint, historic
City of the Gulf is overrun with count
less numbers of the pests. Not con
tent with taking up their homes in the
streets and in public places they have
invaded the homes. Tho citizens seem
to be unable to combat the new-com
ers, or, even with most extensive ag
gressive measures, to make any appre
ciable diminution in their numbers.
The newspapers of New Orleans have
talked volubly this summer of the al
most total disappearance from the city
and vicinity of the mosquito. Also
they have told that daring experiments
have revealed the fact that those that
remained are not so strong, hefty, and
aggressive as usual, but instead are
degenerating into weak, lean, puny
creatures that are not at all bother
some. Another unusual thing which
the papers discussed at great length
was the almost total absence of the
pestiferous fly, saying that few of the
Insects were to be seen about the public
market this year. Then came the
plague of ants. They came no one
knew whence, in great armies. The
pavements and sidewalks were made
brick-colored by their presence, and
the housewife and cook were pestered
to desperation by them. But the phil
osophical people are reasoning that the
little red ant is less bothersome than
the fly or the mosquito, that he is an
excellent and ever-industrious scaven
ger, and that he has never been ac
cused of being the means of spreading
contagion.
MUST CEASE TO BE COMIC.
Royalty In Bulgaria and Servla Re
fuses to Be Laughed at.
The King of Servia and Prince Fer
dinand of Bulgaria have formed a
trust to stop ridicule of their royal
persons. Whenever a comic paper
hereafter alludes to Ferdinand's tre
mendous nasal organ, or his ambition
to become a King, or when even a
misguided editor levels words of dis
respect at King Alexander or his bon
nlo wife, Draga, presto, he will be
clapped into jail at the instance of
joint diplomatic action by Bulgaria
and Servia, both countries at the
same time, agreeing to prosecute any
subject of their own who dares make
light of other European royalties.
Heat and Sunstrokes.
The discovery of a distinction be
tween heatstroke and sunstroke is
claimed by Dr. Moussoler, a French
naval surgeon, who believes that a con
siderable saving of life should follow.
Heatstrokes, he affirms, results from
prolonged exposure of the whole body
to moist or dry heat exceeding 104 de
grees Fahrenheit, and its ill effects are
due to the action of the superheated
blood. Sunstroke, instead of being
caused by high temperature, Is induced
by chemical rays from intense sunlight
falling on the cranium. It can occur
only in the tropics, and the immunity
of blacks is explained by the fact that
a dark skin or other substance almost
completely stops the passage of chem
ical rays.
By a new lay in Montreal, Que., all

fancy bread under one pound. The

a protection for the poor, who, they
claimed, have been frequently defraud
ed.

PE-RD-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME.
A Letter From Congressman White, of North Carolina.
PE-RU-NA IS A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It.
PERUNA ia a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as the
men; it is just the thing for the many
little catarrhal ailments of childhood.
The following testimonials from thank
ful men and women tell in direct, sincere
language what their success has been in
the use of Peruna in their families:
Louis J. Scherrinsky, 103 Locust street,
Atlantic. lowa, writes:
"1 will tell you briefly what Peruna has
done for me. I took a severe cold which
gave me a hard cough. All doctors' medi
cines failed to cure it. 1 took one bottle
of Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad coughs
accompanied by gagging. My wife had
stomach trouble for years. She took Pe
runa and now she is well.
"I cannot express my thanks in words,
but I recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for I can conscientiously say
tnat there is no medicine like Peruna.
Nearly every one in this town knew about
the sickness of myself and family, and
they have seen with astonishment what
Peruna has done for us. Many followed
our example, and the result was health.
Thanking you heartily, I am." L. J.
Scherrinsky.
Mrs. Nannie Wallace, Tulare, Oal.,
President of the Western Baptist Mis
sionary Society, writes:
"I consider Peruna an indispensable ar
ticle in my medicine chest. It is twenty
medicines in one, and has so far cured
every sickness that has been in my home
for Ave years. I consider it of special
value to weakly women, as it builds up
the general health, drives out disease and
keeps you in the best of health."—Mrs.
Nannie Wallace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, catarrh
of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It is
just as sure to cure a case of catarrh of
the bowels as it is a case of catarrh of the
head.

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0.:
Peruna is an internal, scientific, syste
mic remedy for catarrh. It is no pallia

mucous membranes cures the catarrh.
If you do not derive prompt and satis*
frfctory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice

I would be seized with dizziness,
which often kept me awake for
hours. I was recommended to take

for them. I immediately found re
lief in their use, and have since had
no return of my complaints.
