The Remedy, which is sold by drug- gists at only 50 cents, is mild, sooth- ing, cleansing, antiseptic and healing. All Gone Mad. Columbus, Ind., March 2.—There ig much excitement in White river township, Johnson county, over the wholesale outbreak of hydrophobia. A mad dog passed through that sec- tion about two weeks ago, biting a number of animals, among them sev- eral cattle belonging to a farmer named Sutton. The cattle were soon affected with the disease and were killed and the carcasses placed in a huge pile and set on fire. The smell of burning meat attracted dogs from the entire neighborhood and they feasted on the carcasses all night. Nearly all the dogs in the township are now showing unmis- takable signs of hydrophobia, andall are being killed. Much stock of farmers in the vicinity have been bit- ten, causing many thousand dollars loss. Fell Fiye Stories. A fatal accident occurred last night at the Schute building on Twelfth and Grand avenue, which had some particularly sad features. Joseph T.

The skull was smashed and the child died in about two hours. The coroner viewed the re- mains this morning.—K. C. News. Pries! Pites! Itching Piles.

Jefferson City, Blo., March 6.— Gov. Francis is taking a lively inter- est in the proposed legislation look- ing to the establishment of an immi- gration bureau. The plan propos- ed by Hon. Harvey W. Salmon and others of the Southwest Missouri Immigration Society is to create a new State department to be kuown asthe Department of Immigration and to appropriate $20,000 for its support for two years. The Govern or is said to favor the plan. He has held several conferences on the sub- ject with members of the Assembly during the past week. Those who know the Governor's methods of conducting such movements predict that he will succeed in baving the Department of Immigration estab- lished. Speaking of the matter to- day the Governor said: “There is | need of an official bureau of infor- ‘mation in this state. Millions of | dollars are now being transferred from savings banks in the East to | tate and manufacturing enterprises. | Missouri is a good field for invest- ment andif our resources are made | incase to the capitalists and home | seekers with money they will come | here.” The laws requires that school boards of cities, towns and villages | shall make and publish semi annual- ily, in some newspaper published in such locality, if there be one. a de- tailed statement of receipts, and from what sources derived, and ail expen- ditures of the public m le by such board, and also th amount of school tax levied ‘iuriag 32199 i the year.” ( home about three 'the place about 9 o'clock and com- | menced firing into the house. | then ranged themselves before the age she was also studying Latin with | was a thorough | be | manhoed she won i soated | | was | al “History of the City | for use in the public} lthe West, to be invested in real es- j DRIVEN FROM HIS HOME. White Caps Force an Innocent Man trom His Home Near Wichita. Wichita, Kan.

He had been m his new when a gang of men in disguise rode up to hours They door and called him out. The spokesman of the crowd said: ; We, the White Caps, have decided to take the matter in our own hands jand give you until 12o'clock to-night jte get out. If not, we will kill you jand burn up your property.” | With this short and decided warn- pg they fired several more shots nd all, with one exception, rede the with his co..panions away.

Mr. Campbell was greatly med by the unexpected visit, and ing they would put their threats into execution immediately bundled jup his children in his wagon return- | cd to Wichita about 12 o'clock this jmorning. His wife was ina delicate condition and is dying from fright. One of the children, who was very nervous has, it is believed, lost his reason. Campbell recognized the voice of one of the men and had a warrant issued for the arrest of J. MeWil- liams. When the officer went to serve it he had fled the country. Other arrests will follow, as the county commissioners have offered Jarge rewards. The former occupant of the place had trouble with his neighbors, and this is believed to be the outgrowth of that ill-feeling. New Appointments by the Governor— A Newspaper Man's Lueck.
