(From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 5.—(Special.)— Thomas Lewls was arrested today by Con- stable Sunberg and arraigned before a jus- tice of the peace on the charge of being the murderer of the Peterson children in April last. Thomas and Lena Peterson were murdered In the suburbe of the city, in a section known as Highland Park, about three miles north of the postoffice, on Sunday night, as they were on their way home trom church, which they had attended. Their bodles were found soon afterward and several arrests followed. At that time homas Lewis was taken into custody by the sherift's force and examined. He and a cousin and a friend had been seen on tho Des Moines river bridge on the night in question, and it was found that the three had been together in the early part of the evening, and Lewls accompanied the other two as far as the bridge on thelr way home. But he was released, as there ap- peared to be no evMence against him. There was great excitement over the mur- der, the governor offered a reward and citizens ralsed a large fund to hunt out the murderer. H. G. Carpenter, a lawyer, has been working quietly on the case ever since and filed the informatlon, accusing Lewls of being the author of the crime.

HINDOO EDITORS. ‘Ways of the Journalistic Craft in the Far Orlent. In candor and ingenuity of excuses the average editor might learn something from his Hindoo brother, says the Los Angeles Herald. When the first copy of a new Hindoo paper made its appearance re- cently nearly half of it consisted of empty columns. The following editorial note, however, explalned the vagary: “We re- gret that this, our maiden number, should lack completeness, due to miscalculation. We thought we had sufiicient material and consequently did not trouble to collect more. We can assure our indulgent read- ers that this will not occur again and we trust that the quality of the contents will make up for the lack of quantity.” Another Hindoo editor found it necessary to suspend the publication of his paper for a fortnight without a warning. When the paper again made its appearance it con- tained this notice: *‘We regret that, owing to a misunderstanding with a rival editor, in which we failed to get the argument, it wi retire unexpectedly from the conduct of this paper for the space of two weeks, during which we have had the opportuni- tles of devising certain improvements, which we propose to introduce into it. The rival editor, we regret to report, ia still confined to his home.” When the Hindoo editor wishes to rest for & time from his labors he calmly an- nounces the fact in these or similar words: “As we are beginning to feel the physical and mental effects of & year's unremitting devotion to the interest of our readers, we feel it due to them that we should take the rest which our labors in their behalf de- mand and deserve and as & natural conse- quence beg to motify that this paper wilt cease to appear for the space of four weeks." A short time ago an Indian newspaper appeared with two very conspicuous blank columns, on the front page. The editor ex- plained this eccentricity thus: “We have reserved this space for an exceptionally powerful article on a subject of universal interest to our readers, but at the last moment we find that the article cannot be compressed within the two columns re- served for it. It will make its appearance next week."” ¥ Chicago Pos dicted,” she sald. “Then 1 won't comtradict you,” he re- turned. “You don’t love me,” she asserted. don’t,” he admitted. ou're a hateful thing!" she cried. m,” he replied. “I belleve you're trying to tease me,” she sald. “I am,” he conceded.

Wheat is coming forward treely, though receipts do mot equal the abnormally large movement a year ago. Corn developed atrength because of fears that injury would be done by frost and the movement Is very slow, campared with last year's figures. BRADSTREET'S REVIRW OF TRADE.

Sick and mervous headaches are amongst | the worst ills of lite. The man or woman (whn Is subject to headache at Irregular L | tervals goes through life bearing & losd of misery and wretchedness that fs ter- rible to think of. | Headaches as a rule result from a dis- | ordered condition of the nervous system. | Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily fatigue, and disordered digestion are ex- citing causes. When the brain becoms | tired and debilitated, the whole nervous sys- tem Is weakened, and headaches result. Tt | the liver is sluggish, the kidneys Inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches fnvarfa- | bly follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous system must be strengthened |and yitalized. The most perelstent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleep- are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the great recon- | structant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tells of her release from suffering as follows: “I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have a bad spell of sick ‘headache, but since I began using Paine’s Celery Compound, my dyspepsia Is | gone, and I do not have any more head- {aches.

IN CARACAS Minstonary For- POOR SUFFER Semfor Amerioan WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—United States Minister Bowen at Caracas has forwarded to the State department, under date of Au- gust 24, a plaintive plea for the poor In that capital, who are suffering great misery as the result of the protracted war now in progress. The special plea 1s made by Rev. T. S. Pond, the senfor American missionary In Caracas, and Mr. Bowen has undertaken gladly to recelve any contributions that may be sent from America to his legation. He sald that Mr. Pord does not propode to glve money to the poor, but only provi- slons that are cooked. He needs, accord- ing to Mr. Bowen, $3,000, but could easily use five times that amount. In his appeal Mr. Potid says that he has not In his experience “known anything to compare with the widespread and hopeless poverty of the present. He refers to the fact that Minister Bowen himself is feeding 100 or more des- titute people. At least half the families of this eity, eays Mr. Pond. “can get only one fair meal a day. Hundreds cannot obtain even that.” PENSIONS FOR WESTERNERS Survivors of the War Generously. Re- membered by the General Government.
