The time [set for the execution arrived, however, land the sheriff made plans to carry out the execution. The march to the [scaffold had beg.n, and the prisoner [was about to mount the steps when a suessenger arrived, waving a telegram In his hand. “The procession was at once stopped, and the sheriff took the telegram, but saw that It was addressed to the condemned man. He handed it to the fellow, who, trembling with hope, tore open the envelope. He cast bls eager [glance at the message, paled and let It fir op from Ills hand. The sheriff picked tun the paper, read It, and the march to the scaffold was resumed. In a few plnutes the man who had hoped for a reprieve was In eternity. i “The message was from some minister who had become Interested in his case. It told him to trust In the Lord and be would be saved.”—Washington Post. A« Kventn* Call. • T called on Perkins last evening,” remarked Mr. Brown.

PEACE ADVOCATES Receive An Effectual Answer From General Bell In Batangas JProvince. ; HE PROPOSES THE BEST METHOD The General Proposes to Wage a Vigorous Warfare Until the Insurrection Is Completely Subdued —Late Steps Are Proving Very Effective. Manila. Jan. 6. —General J. Franklin Bell is conducting a vigorous campaign in Batangas province. Every available soldier is in the field. The columns under the command of Colonels Wint and Dougherty are doing excellent work and driving the Filipinos in all directions. A number of the lattei' are fleeing to Tayabas province, where the native constabulary are rendering valuable assistance in capturing men and rifles. The advocates of peace at Manila deprecate the stern measures employed by General Bell. In reply General Bell says that these peace advocates have had numerous opportunities to use their influence, as they have been given passes through the American lines almost for the asking, and that it has been afterward proved that they often only went through the lines for the purpose of assisting the insurrection. General Bell says that the best peace method now is a rigorous warfare until the insurrection is complete-

ly subdued. The arrest of members of the wealthy Lopez family and the confiscation of their steamers and rice, as well as the arrest of three members of the religious corporations who were known to be instigators of the insurrection, has had an excellent effect upon the nativ 3. Conditions in .he Island of Samar are still urjiatis.a. ...y owing to the' difficulty of finding the insurgents. Captain Schoeffel of the Ninth infantry. who was wounded in a severe hand-to-hand fight last month at Dapdap, Samar Island, between 18 men of Company E of his regiment and a large force ot bolomen, has practically recovered from the effects of his wound. In an official report of the encounter in which Captain Schoeffel was hurt, it is said that Schoeffel killed three men before he received his wound, and that the remnants of the detachment ot 18 men were saved by his personal courage and daring. The civil authorities say that the island of Leyte Is now perfectly peaceful. On the other hand, the military authorities consider Leyte to be dangerous on account of its proximity to Samar, if for no other reason. Last Friday Major Albert L. Meyer of the 11th infantry captured quite an extensive arsenal and plant for the making of cartridges at Ormoc on the northwest coast of Leyte. Major Meyer also captured another powder factory, large quantities of ammunition, four cannon and several rifles.

A LIMITED VIEW Big WSurt Parade In Ptlkiii Will Be Quite Exclusive. Pekin, Jan. 7.—The Chinese officials have requested the ministers of the powers to keep the legation guards within their quarters today in order to prevent the possibility of a collision between the Chinese ami foreign troops on the occasion of the court's return to Pekin. The ministers will comply. Tlie families of the foreign diplomats will occupy the buildings which the Chinese government has tendered them for the purpose of viewing the parade. There is much criticism of this course among the foreigners Aho are not satisfied with the fact that the ministers alone are to remain in the legations. They believe the event should be completely ignored. They say the presence of any members of the legations will be construed as being a sort of homage to the court and will be thus proclaimed among the people. A GERMAN SENSATION The Latest Duel There Smacks Much of Murder. Berlin, Jan. 7. —Full narratives of the duel fought last Thursday at Jena in which Lieut. Thieme of the 94th regiment, killed a student of Halle university named Held, by shooting him through the heart, are producing a deep sensation throughout Germany. Lieutenant Thieme is the best pistol shot of his regiment, and pistols were selected by the court of honor, composed exclusively of army officers, notwithstanding the fact that the student societies proposed the use of sabers. The court of honor stipulated that five shots be exchanged between the duellists. consequently Heid had little chance of escape. He was killed at the third exchange of shots. The duel resulted from a party of students having jostled some army officers in the street. Held was with the students and he slapped the face of Lieutenant Thieme, who was in plain clothes. — DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYE Lying In Wait lie Kills Foundry Superintendent.

vest. With his hands he struck the cap and exploded the dynamite. The explosion tore a great hole in the earth and blew the man’s body into countless pieces. — It Was x heir l ast Sleep. Forest Hill.

A Miraculous Feat. “It seemed that nothing short of a miracle could save my little daughter from an untimely death," says City Marshall A. H. Malcolm, of Cherokee,Kan. “When two years old she was taken with stomach and bowel trouble and despite the efforts of the best physicians we could procure, she grew gradually worse and was pronounced incurable. A friend advised mbl;- Nervine and after giving it a few days she began to improve and finally fully recovered. She is now past five years of age and the very picture of health."

“Pin Your Faith to Enks’’ A TRUE AND CERTAIN CURE FOR Tuberculosis (CONSUMPTION The ENK MEDICINE CO announces the discovery of a true and certain cure for that arch foe to human health, Tuberculosis. The announcement is made with a full appreciation of how it is likely to be received by the public. Our directory has been divided upon the question whether such an announcement might not discredit the entire list of Enk Preparations in the minds of the general public. Hut the astounding record made by this marvelous remedy has finally overbalanced every other consideration. The remedy has Never Failed to Cure after fair trial in many cases. We have cured ( ises where the patients have been < mfintH to their beds for from four to five months and were apparently in the last stages of the disease. All made complete recoveries and are in good health today. We have had no deaths. THE COMPLETE CURE CONSISTS OF THREE VIALS, vis: VIAL “D”—-For Hectic Fever, to be used only until pulse and temperature are normal. VIAL “E”—For debility, night sweats, and the removal of already present tuberculous masses from the system. VIAL "F”—For preventing the metamorphosis of tissue constituting tubercles. With the first few doses of Via! '!■ the formation of tubercles positively ceases and all progress of the disease is stopped. This we have ascertained by repeated experiment. The process is simple: we supply a certain element vvin< li i I.< fa til SySttmi Wheft tubercles form and supply it in a form ‘hat the system cannot rtjet t 01 < Itt out. An food contains this element, but the consumptive does not assimilate it. We reopen the way and restore lost function This remedy cures "white swelling’’ just as readily, or any form of Tuberculosis. The effect is immediate. THE PRICE OF EACH VIAL IS SI.OO The relative amounts used in a number of f.is-. \.irir-4 cvnsi<frrabh For instance had one case of a bed ridden consumptive who only used the fever remedy three days. He made a beautiful recovery, sitting up a htile in three days, had his clothing on in a week and drove seven miles to town in three weeks. He is doing farm wota today.
