The order states that persons who fail to comply with this provision before the date mentioned shall not be entitled to receive mail under the free system. By “suitable boxes” is meant. such receptacles as conform to the specifications already recommended by the postoftice de- partment. Thousands of these boxes are now in use throughout the coun- try. An objection was formerly raised to the purchase of the so-called ‘‘ap- proved” tree-detivery boxes” on ground that inspectors and other agents of the government were the only persons from whom these arti- cles could be obtained, and that their charge therefore was excessive. This complaint, however, can exist no longer, inasmuch as all officers of the government will be prohibited here- after from becoming agents for the sale of such boxes. They may be procured from any dealer anywhere, and, so long as they answer the re- quirements of the department, they may be authoritatively stamped “Approved by the postmaster gener- al.” This stamp on a box willinsure to its owner the full protection of the law recently passed, which provides that meddling with mail receptacles on a@ free delivery route shall be re- garded as a criminal offense. The new order ought to be received gladly by our friends in the country. The boxes specified are simple in| construction, yet durable and water- ; proof, and they cost very little. The loss of a single piace of mail matter, through failure to provide one of them, might mean more to its owner than thecost of a dozen of the proper depositories.—New York Sun, Burlington “Flyer” Is Held Up and For mosquito bites, bites or stings of insects, animals or reptiles, apply Ballard’s Snow Liniment.

The men rode into Perryville from the direction of a large cave north of town, which was the rendezvous of the tollgate raiders who terrorized the community several years ago. They dashed through Perryville and proceeded to the house of Good- night, on the Mackville pike. Quickly surrounding the house, they called for him to come out orbe cremated, as they intendéd to burn the place if he refused. ; When Goodnight appeared, in re- sponse to their summons, he was securely bound, after which several members of the party wielded the Ware Stirs Up His Clerks.

Toombs was hanged at 11:29 o’clock to-day for the murder of Carrie Larson. He made a short statement iu which he protested his innocence and express- ed confidence that his name would be cleared of this crime attributed to him, The crime for which Toombs was hanged was the murder of Carrie Larson, December 30,1901. Toombs was cook at thesteamer Peerless and had hired the young woman to as- sist him on the boat, which was lying icebound in its winter quarters in the Burlington slip of the Chicago river, ‘The ouly other occupant of the boat was Kebert Keissig, a roustabout. It was the story of Keissig that con- victed Toombs. Late at night Toombs went to the steamer and tried to force his way into the young woman's room. Failing in this he ordered her to-eook -hitra-meal—As she started to comply, Toombs strangled her, mutilated her body and then compelled Keissig, who was an unwilling witness, to help him bury the body under the ice of the river. Severaldays after the boy ran away to the police, fearing for his shirk or are incompetent are prompt- ly discharged and they are never taken back.

Cripple Creek, Col., August 8:—The Cripple Creek district’ maintains its phenomenal production of $1,750,- 000 in gold, month by month. The returns on the output for July have just been made up and show that the camp produced 54,900 tons, yielding a gross value of $1,880,500. Thisis at the rate of $20,000,000 a year, a remarkable production, when it is re- membered that every dollar of it is entirely new wealth. From Hot to Cold.

Perry Davis’ Painkiller is the best known remedy and the most efficacious in the treatment of dysentery. 2 ASSAULTED P. C. KNOX. Three Multi-Millionaires Attacked the T Attorney General. Philade!phia, Aug. 8.—The Phila- delphia North Ameriean prints a dis- jpatch this morning from Atlantic City giving the details of an assault } on Attorney General Knox last night jin the cafe of a fashionable hotel at |that resort. The dispatch says: “The cause of the assault on Mr. Knox was his attitude against the trusts. His assailants were Charles |T. Schoen, the multi-millionaire of | Philadelphia and Pittsburg; Theo- dore Cramp, the Philadelphia ship- builder, and a Mr. Stevenson, also well known in Philadelphia, Attor- ney General Knox was attacked by three men, and superior numbers de- jfeated him. Theodore Cramp is the man who delivered the blow. It was Sright-hander that sent the Attor- jney General epinning backward.” The Atlantic City Dispatch ex- | plains that Mr, Knox and a party of | friends, including several women, wert taking supper in the cafe about 11:30 o'clock, when the three men drove up and entered, taking seats at a table near that of the Attorney General, The loud talk of the new- comers was objected to by Mr. Knox, The head waiter remoustrated and an apology was made, The talk soon was resumed, however, and there was another remonstrance and another apology. In the meantime Mr. Knox had been recognized, and the three men whose talk had been objected to are said to have begun indulging in remarks disparaging to the attorney. Mr. Schoen, it is claimed, was the chief offender, His remarks are said to have been based Attorney-General —kKnonx’s hostile attitude toward the trusts. He did not admire Mr, Knox's steps in the direction of their dissolution, and said so. The special continues: CALLED MR, KNOX NAMES, “Just who struck the first blow cannot be said positively, butcertain it is that while Mr. Knox was mak- ing a protest to Mr. Schoen against his intemperate language he was be- ing called names that startled every- one within hearing. Then came a blow. It was struck by Mr. Cramp and landed fairly on the belt of the Attorney General, who found himself opposed to three men, all much larg- erand heavier than he. The blow staggered him back against the wall. “At that moment a half dozen waiters rushed up. The head waiter seized Mr. Cramp from behind, pin- ioning his arms, Another grappled with Mr. Stevenson and dragged him out of the struggle, Others took hold of Mr. Schoen. Mr. Knox was speedily surrounded by his friends, and they quietly retired from thecafe and were driven away to their hotel. The blow he received from Mr.Cramp had stunned him for a moment, but he quickly recovered. “The noise and confusion had at- tracted more than a score of the hotel guests to the scene. They crowded into the cafe where Mr. Schoen, Mr. Cramp and Mr. Steven- son still remained. The waiters had drawn a cordon around their table. Mr. Schoen and his friends ordered wine, but were politely informed that it would not be served to them,” Question of Annexation. Washington, August 8.—Cubanan- nexation is the question that is dis- turbing the minds of people here now. It is even said that President Roose- velt is burning midnight oil over the question. Representative Newlands, who introduced the resolution of in- vitation to the Cubans to annex themselves to the United States; Senator Morgan of Alabama, Gener- al Bragg, whose opinions are fa- mous, and ex-Consul General Fitz- hugh Lee are all arrayed on the side of the question which desires tomake Cuba United States territory. These men declare that the busi- ness interests of the island are anx- ious to come under the flag and that the planters, seeing the prosperity of Porto Rico, Want annexation. On the other hand, Senor Quesada, di- rect from Cuba, and the representa- tive of the Cuban government, de- clares that the Cuban people do not desire annexation, Spectacular Wife Murder.
