She vided with a chair resting on glass insulators and in this she aly takes her seat at the approach o torm. Mrs. Rankin was visiting a peighbor Sunday when a storm ca @ messen When has been pro g a up. She immediately hastened to ward home, but before she could reach it she suffered a severe shock that paralyzed her left side. It is thought that she can not recover. On several occasions when Mrs. Rankin has suffered from the electric fluid the house has been damaged, but strangely enough none of the other inmates haveever been injured Clinton, Ark., Oct. 1.—William Newman, a farmer living a few miles from here, was to-day sentenced to death for the murder of his wife on August 16. While standing at the grave sur- rounded by many mourners Newman cried out Before God, I never mur- dered my wife.” This declaration led to his arrest. He was convicted on circumstan- tial evidence and the execution of his sentence Nov. 8, will be the first legal hanging in Van Buren county. After sentence was passed, the con- demned man stood up before a large crowd of spectators and with tears streaming down his cheeks, said: ‘God be my Judge I never saw my wife after leaving home on Sunday until I saw her dead in the creek. Throat Disease Cured With Grapes and Horehound. The noted old nurse, descendant of Holland Dutch, discovered that a certain combination of grapes-with the Horehound Herb and the Root of Elecampane made into a cordial will cure sore throats and coughs, and is excellent for colds, catarrh and all irritation of the Bronchial tubes, tonsils and throat, and for singers and public speakers. Drug gists say the sales are immense, and it is doing great gocd. It is called Aunt Rachel's Elecampane and Horehound Cordial. A Dead Man’s Shortage. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 3.—An after- noon paper says the late Joseph H. Tiernan, for many years prior to his death, on September 1 last, one of the best-known afid most prominent realty men on the street, has been discovered to be short in his ac- counts with the Security Building and Loan association No. 2, of which he was secretary since its organiza- tion. The exact amount of his short- age is only known to George W. Curry and John P. Meyer, expert accountants, who have overhauled his books, but it is admitted to be over $10,000, and some say it may be as much as $20,000. ‘When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, ‘When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, ‘When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, ‘When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, Columbia, S.

New York, Sept. 26.—Tie Herald says: It is said upon the authority of a republican leader of national repute that Benjamin Harrison has withdrawn from the race and has named Wm. McKinley as his res- iduary legatee. More than the sem- blance of truth is given to this report owing to the fact that Chas. W. Fairchild, Mr. Harrisen’s personal representative and the leading can- didate for United States Senator Voorhees’ place, is in conference with ex-Governor Foraker, who is supposed to be here in the interests of McKinley. To Lie Near Kit Carson, Del Norte, Col., Sept. 26.—Ar rangements have been completed whereby the remains of the noted scout and Indian fighter, Colonel Albert Henry Pfeiffer are soon to be removed from Del Norte,where they were buried in 1880, to National cemetery at Santa Fe, the govern ment bearing the expenses. The body of Colonel Pfeiffer will be in- terred by the side of that of Kit Carson, at Santa Fe, in complivnce with a wishexpressed by the Colonel just prior to his death. Glass Works Start Up. Anderson, Ind, Sept. 25.—The Victory Window Glass Company lighted its fires today and will make its first blow of glass to morrow. The North Anderson, the largest of the pot furnaces in the United States and the Union Window Glass Company plant will be put into op-} eration Friday and will blow glass Saturday. All three have refused to recognize the unskilled workers’ union. It is quite flattering to Boss Quay | that there should be a report that a republican Executive committee waited on him and asked him to ex- press no Presidential preference until after the November election in that state- It puts him in thetlight of President makeing boss almighty —a dictator of the whole republi- can party. it will be strange if Boss Platt does not sooner or later exhibit some jealousy of so all-pre- yading a boss.—Ex. Dayis Proves an Alibi, Nevada, Mo., Sept. 25.—The man Davis, who was arrested at a farm house Sunday near Liberal and identified by Mrs. Frame as her as- sailant, proved an alibi, and was released from custody.
