KING WISHES TO BREAK UP OUTLAWS Indialian Bandits Continue to Carry on Their Work of Lawbreaking.

BRIGAND SUMA LEADS. WAS BUT RECENTLY THAT HE . UNDER FALSE -PRETENSES GAINED CONFIDENCE OF BARON AND LATER ROBBED HIM AND GUESTS.

l-aris, August 1. King Victor Emanuel of Italy Is determnled to put an end to the brigandage in Italy which makes practically all traveling in that country unsafe and keeps thousands o' automobilists away. An idea of the audacity of the bri-

Ledoux, who was mad with grief, tried several times to commit suicide. One of the most extraordinary raids ever planned and carried out by modern thieves has taken place near ParIs, the only person in custody being a young man who was arrested by the police the other night. A flock of 350 sheep had for some time been grazing on waste land just outside the French capital, on the banks of the River Marne, between the suburban towns Alfortville and Creteil, under the care of an old man named Fritz Yung, popularly ' known as Father Fritz. One morning a resident of the neighborhood, attracted by the howling of the shepherd's dog, entered the small moveable hut In which Father Fritz slept, and found him lying dead, with blood oozing from his mouth and beside him a bottle containing about a third of a litre of rum. The flock of sheep had entirely disappeared, but were soon traced, as they had obstructed the tramcars while they were being driven across the Charenton Bridge late on the night two days previous Following this clue, the police on Sunday night arrested at a public house near Mont-Parnasse Station a young man named Maviel, who confessed having sold the sheep at Pantin and La Villette markets for $3,130. He declared that he only -acted as the agent of two men who had the ap

pearance or horse dealers, ana pro-

FRENCH TEACHERS WILLJE DEFENDED Government to Protect Them Against Parents.

Bands may be had from the Incident

which happened to Baron Remondini, fegged entire ignorance as to whence

the flock came. That Maviel had accomplices seems evident from the fact that taxes to the amount of $320 were paid on the sheep passing the Octoi. Maviel spent nearly $200 of the proceeds of the sale buying a watch and chain, several suits of clothes, and other articles. The remainder of the $3,130 was found on him. It appears that several previous attempts to raid the flock has been frustrated by the vigilance of Printemps, the sheepdog, which after the death of its master, was still faithfully guarding the empty hut.

a weaitny nomeman wen Known ai&u here In Paris. The Baron was giving a banquet to friends at Brlndisi Castle in the San Vito Normanl district one night this week, when a gentleman dressed in hunting costume appeared at the Jiouse and stated that he was tired and hungry, and asked for the baron's hospitality. The baron straightway asked him to join them, and an hour later all present took part In a small dance. Suddenly six mounted carabineers, headed by a serfeant, appeared and the sergeant, calling the baron aside said that he knew that the famous brigand Suma, the terror of the San Vito district, was within, and, pointing out the strange guest, declared him to be the notorious brigand. The stranger was at once arrested and locked up In the stable. The baron, thankful at escaping danger, asked the carabineers to stay and have supper, and then join the dance, which they did. In the middle of the proceedings, however, the carabineers suddenly drew revolvers and threatened all present with death unless they at once delivered up all their money and jewelry. Those present eventually yielded up about $30,000 worth of valuables. "No I am not going to Ameria. I am not going to run away and remain disgraced in the eyes of the world. I am golngto fight It out, fight as long as there is a drop

of blood in my veins." It was Slgnore Nunzio Nasi, ex-minister of state and ex-convict who shouted this with blazing eyes when I visited him a few days ago immediately after hfs release. There was no doubt of him being serious, he was pale and thin as a man who has been long behind prison walls, but full of fight and energy. "I shall never give up the fight," he said banging his fist into the table, "until I have proved the sentehce, Imposed on me by the senate unjust and have cleared my name in the eyes of the world. I am the victim of political persecution. My enemies wanted to kill me politically and morally and they think they have succeeded. I have been made out worse than a bandit or a bank thief and I have been deprived of every means to defend myself. I have been accused of things that other ministers have done. What have I then done? During the thirty-four months I was in office I traveled in my official capacity for 300 days and my expenses were less than those of my predecessor. I have been accused of taking money not a eendo of which went into my own pocket. And why? Every embiased man In Italy will answer you: But they are mistaken If they think Nunzio Nasi is a dead one. The affair

Nasi is not over, it has only just be

gun. What I shall do, and how I shall

fight I cannot tell you yet, but I will

find a way to lay bare the whole con

splracy against me and the world will find out something about corruption

In Italy. Four years exile and four years exclusion from the chamber is 'hard on a man of my age but the time will pass and my Sicilians are loyal to me so you may tell the world, that I am not going to America, much as I would love to see the country where Gariboldi found a home and where so many of my countrymen live and prosper and far less am I to seek a pardon from the king. The carabineers then jumped on their horses and got away as soon as possible, taking with them the arrested man, who, it turns out, was their v chief, the famous brigand Suma, and the rest of the band were his followers In disguise. Two soldiers invited their sweethearts, two sisters, to spend the day with them yesterday at Sainghim Fort, near Lille. After picnicking on the grassp slopes, the party went into the guardroom, where one of the men named Ledoux showed his sweetheart Caroline, a Lobel cartridge. He then loaded his rifle for fun, and aimed it at the two girls who clung together terror-stricken. -Don't touch the rifle." screamed Caroline, but suddenly there was a flash, followed by a sharp report, and the two sisters fell dead. The same bullet had passed throueh

THE GOLD OUTPUT TO BE EFFECTED

Dredges to Be Placed in the Yukon Field.

Winnipeg. Aug. 1. According to advices received here from Dawson City, the operations being carried on in the Yukon by Eastern capitalists will greatly effect the gold output. After an expenditure of some $12,000,000, five gold dredges have been built, and the necessary water supplied by a canal which the Guggenheims have built

for the purpose. EacU one of these

dredges will handle from 3.500 to 4,000

cubic yards of gravel in a day of twenty-four hours, while an individual miner will be doing well If he handles six

cubic yards of gravel during the same time. N It requires eleven men to run one of these dredges that can do the work of some GOO men.

FIREMEN MUST HAVE GOOD TEETH

Dist. of Columbia Commissioners Make Queer Ruling.

Washington, August 1. The com

missioners of the District of Colum

bia, who seem to be trying to make

a record for freak regulations, have now promulgated an order barring

anyone from service in the fire department who has not good teeth. Up to this time it has not been suspected that a man's molars enters very largely into his ability to fight flames, but the hard headed board that rules over the ( destinies of the nation's capital takes another view.

Paris, August 1. The French government is about to submit to the chamber a measure intended to defend teachers in the primary schools from what is regarded as a new clerical scheme for interfering with the lay education provided by the state. Several teachers have been prosecuted lately by parents on the score of the anti-religious character of the instruction imparted to their children. Under the new law such actions will have to be brought against the state and not against the individual teacher. If the justice of the accusation be proved, the state will, apart from disciplinary measures, have a legal remedy against the teacher. This

maaaure, with another biu which baa Just been Introduced, will help to satisfy those government supporters who hold that there is a sort of tacit conspiracy to block the working of the

law.

OFFICERS GET TIME TO PREPAREJOR EXAMS. Do Not Have to Be Physically Fit at Time of Promotion.

Washington, August 1. The war department has decided that officers entitled to promotion who may not be physically fit for examination at the time may be promoted, subject to subsequent examination. It was held that this condition constituted an exigency

in the service within the meaning of the provisions of the act of February 2, 1901. This decision will do much to relieve the service of blocks to promotions which occur because of the illness of one officer at the head of a list of those awaiting examination.

DIRG1BLE BALOON IS GOOD ENGINE OF WAR

Congress Will Be Appealed to To Aid Tests.

The Stingiest Man. Gallatin claims to bare the stingiest man in Tennessee, if not In the world, and a premium Is offered for his superior in close fistedness. He got married, to a home girl to save expenses. They walked arouud the square for a bridal tour. He bought her a nickel's worth of stick candy for a wedding present and then suggested that they tave the candy for the children. Dantille (Tenn.) Advocate.

Washington, August 1. The board of fortifications has taken a marked interest in the work of foreign aeronauts, and especially In the aerial developments of the dirigible balloon. It is the present intention of the board to ask. congress for an appropriation

of $1,000,000 in order that Iresn experimental work may be begun In this

country. Aerial navagatlou in the op

inion of the army, has already reach

ed a stage which promises promises

great practical developments in the near future, and the value of a dirigible balloon as an engine of war has.

it is believed, already been demon

strated. A fleet of dirigible balloons, it is pointed out, would be a valuable adiunct to the coast defences of a

country, as they would be able to sail out against an approaching fleet without exposing themselves to the enemy's fire and would be able to make quick and accurate observations of the enemy's strength.

There is only one effective way to Stop Indigestion

"Sfost digesters rely on pepsin. But pepsin digests albumen only. It is but one of the elements needed. Starch, fats and phosphates each require something else. Then half of digestion is done in the bowels, and pepsin can't do that. It requires many ingredients to form a perfect digester, and they must be in liquid form. Kodol has all those ingredients. It does all that the stomach does all that the bowels do. It digests any food any mixture of foods completely.

Partial digesters give only halfway help. There is always some food left to get hard, and irritate the stomach lining. That irritation, even though slight, continues the inflammation. That is why the stomach fails to regain its strength. A weak stomach is like a lame

ankle. Use or abuse it anH it will never get welL But give it complete rest do all its work for it and Nature very quickly restores its normal powers. You can't do this by dieting, for there is always some food that doesn't digest. Yon can't do it with partial digesters. You can't do it with tonics, for they spur the stomach to but tern porary activity. It must be done with Kodol The results then are instant and complete. Every food that you eat is digested. You get yoor full nourishment, yet the stomach (eta absolute rest. Our Guarantee On the first dollar bottle of Kodot your druggist gives a signed guarantee. If it fails to do all we claim, your druggist returns your money. You take no risk whatever. This $1.00 bottle contains 2 J-J times as much as the SOc bottle. Made by. F C. DeWitt & Co.. Chicaaxx

RUSSIA STRENGTHENS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES

Ministry Proposes to Make Monopoly on Platinum.

St Petersburg, August 1. The Russian ministry of finance proposes to make a state monopoly of platinum production. Most of the seven tons' annual production of this metal is worked in the United States and Germany. If the proposed plan is put through, the price of the metal, which stands considerably above gold will then be doubled and the electrical industries to which platinum is a necessity will be seriously affected.
