Wol- perans, one of the Boer envoys who bas been visiting Mr. Kruger at Hil- yersum, found the mental condition of the former president of the Trans- yaal to be by no means satisfactor, yr. Kruger is slowly growing weake physically and mentally. His slow- ant questions is found to be a serious gindrance to those working in Eu- rope in behalf of the Boer cause. At the slightest question regarding his health Mr. Kruger exhibits intense jritation, and vehemently denies thatanything is wrong. The ap- h of winter causes anxiety, as Wr. Kruger refuses to leave Holland. According to aremurk made by a minent Boer, the former presi- dent’s condition would long since pave been much worse if hatred of Great Britian did not nerve him to continue.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE PosTaL System, (Geap Mail Facilities One of the Chief Fi in Our Prosperity and Progress. ~— “Common is the commonplace.’’ The most valuable of civil benefits is such a commonplace matter, that we scarcely gveitathought. It would take a win- teron a whaler ni; in an ice floe to make us truly appreciable of the worth of the il service. What a wonder- fal thing itis! Wonderful in its organ- iation, with its vast machinery for the collection and distribution of letters, its milway mail cars, its route riders, the unfailing order and precision of its methods. Wonderful it is too in its re- alts, It knits together families widely parated. It carries across the sea ome tender lover’s message or perhaps little flower picked from the daisied pave of an English churchyard. Every our of every day the mail bag is packed ith words which waken love and laugh- er, and words which deepen the furrow m the cheek and dim the failing sight ith bitter tears. But with all this there is going on gh the mail service a dissemina- n of human knowledge, a reaching of human help which is one of the ‘ing blessings of our century. The pondence schools led by Chautau- are sending to every village and umlet the iaade knowledge which is beagerly craved by many who are shut to the homely duties of a humble fe, Without the mail system this plan ition would be impracticable. mail, too, carries from the great tnters, the advice of great physicians, h it would be impossible for the fant public to obtain were it not for mails.

One of the band confessed and Taylor was con- victed While awaiting sentence Taylor broke out of jail and the next heard of him he had trailed down his former accomplice, and the two men had a desperate duel with rifles, re- sulting in Taylor killing his antago- nist. This bloody affray occurred in Pecos county. Taylor was shortly afterwards recaptured, but he again escaped from jail a few weeks ago. At the time of his secu. d eacape he said he had a few old scores to settle with those who had turned against him and when he scttled them he would peaceably submit to arrest and take his punishment. BRYAN WILL MOVE TO A_ FARM. LYNCHED FOR ASSAULT. Masked Citizens of Helena Hanged James E. Brady. Helena, Mont., Oct. 2.—James Ed- ward Brady, the man whocommitted an unusually brutal assault upon 5-year-old Ida Pugsley in Helena yesterday, was this morning, about 1:30, taken from jail by a mob and hanged to a telegraph pole in the Haymarket square, about three blocks from the jail. The crowd was orderly and after the man had been hanged it quietly dispersed. There were about 200 men engaged in the affair and they wereall masked. They attacked the jail door with a batter- ing ram, and it soon yielded. On gaining admittance, they demanded the keys of the jailer at the point of Has Began the Erection of a Fine Rural Residence.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per- manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples.
