nervous and realizes that he is suffering
from biliousness or indigestion he will
take the right remedy he can always keep
himself in good health.
Many serious illnesses have their incep-
tion in indigestion or in an inactive liver.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is a
sure safe speedy and permanent cure for
all disorders of the digestion. It also cures
all of the maladies that have their incep-
tion in these disorders. It is a prompt cure
for giddiness sick headache pain in the
stomach fullness and swelling after meaU
dizziness and drowsiness ccdd chills flush-
ings of heat loss of appetite shortness of
breath blotches on the skin disturbed
sleep frightful dreams and nervous and
trembling sensations. It makes the appe-
tite keen and hearty the digestion perfect
the liver active and fills the blood with life-
giving elements that build healthy tissue.
It is a cure for nervous exhaustion aud
prostration and it cures 98 per cent of all
cases of consumption bronchial throat and
kindred affections. An honest dealer will
not try to induce customers to take some
worthless substitute for the sake of a few
pennies added profit.
Mr. W. Rogers of 607 Grayson St.. Louisville
Ky. has this to say for himself and the “Golden
Medical Discovery.” “ I was a dyspeptic. I had
not had a comfortable night in six years. I ha-e
taken three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med-
ical Discovery. I am now fifty years old. I feel
thirty years younger.”
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a sure
speedy and permanent cure for constipa-
tion. One little “Pellet” is a gentle lax-
ative and two a mild cathartic. They never
gripe.

ALLIGATORS HAVE FUN.
Sauriana Viciously Attack; a Party
ot Negro Baptists.
A funny story wax related at Sanford
Fla. recently by a party of fishermen
from up the river relating to the at-
tack made upon a party of negro bap-
tizers by an. alligator while the minis-
ter was immersing his converts.
According to their account a colored
Baptist preacher and his flock had gone
to the St. Johns river some miles above
here and had arranged for abaptismof
many converts. Suddenly while in the
middle of the ceremony several big al-
ligators came dashing into their midst.
The minister was seized and dragged
down as were also several of the con-
verts.
The negro converts shrieked and
yelled while the people on the bank
RUSHING TOWARD THE SHORE.
shouted in reply. The converts were
all clothed in flimsy white gowns which
gave way readily and as the alligators
had seized these instead of their arms
or legs they soon got away. As they
escaped they rushed frantically toward
the shore the alligators cavorting in
among them and causing a greaC
amount of excitement and fear. The
minister was seized a second time and
dragged under when some of his breth-
ren armed with clubs went to his aid.
They pummeled the big “gators” un-
til finally one of them was seized.
Things began to look squally for the
preacher and his converts when the
fishermen’s opportune arrival turned
the tide. They fired at the alligators
killing two and enabling the fright-
ened negroes to escape to the shore.
They were in a pitiful plight their
gowns torn to pieces while some of
them were badly bitten by the vicious
reptiles. Theministerandoneolddeacon
fared the worst being hurt quite badly.
The fishermen state that the trouble
was caused by a lot of dogs that were
with the party barking and fighting
which caused the saurians to come out.
They also state that they think the alli-
gators were breeding and that they
were ina dangerous state. It has caused
much comment there as being some-
thing unusual.
HE SAVED THE DAY.
Pluck Like Thia Fellow’s Would Be
Heroism in War.
An amusing incident yet one that
showed great nerve on the part of one
of the Fourth Maryland boys occurred
recently at Seventh street and Benn-
sylvania avenue says the Washington
Star. The Fourth regiment left its
headquarters for the depot and instead
of going to Sixth street the officer in
command decided' to turn)the regiment
through Seventh around into B street.
The first company of the regiment had
hardly crossed the tracks of the
Seventh street cable line before a car
approached. One of the men left the
line and 1 in a quiet dignified manner
asked the gripman to hold up for a
moment until the regiment could pass.
The gripman promptly and gruffly re-
fused. The soldier proceeded to the
front of the car and stretched himself
out at full length on the track in front
of it and lay there patiently all the
LYING ON THE TRACK.
while the regiment was moving. The
gripman pulled the lever into position;
in a moment the car had moved to
where the nervy young soldier was ly-.
ing on the track. The fender touched
him end the car kept moving shoving
the prostrate man before it for some
feet. The motorman. then seeing the
determination of the young soldier to
remain where he was stopped the car.
As the last platoon of the regiment
crossed the track the man got up from
the track touched his hat to the grip-
man said “thank you” andhastened to
join the head of the column. The
crowd on the corner went wild with en-
thusiasm at this exhibition of nerve
and determination and) they cheered
him lustily as he arose to his feet.
Blin<lnes> from Coffee.
A writer in the Medical Review main-
tains that coffee is responsible for the
large number of blind men one sees in
the street of Moroccan cities. The
Moorish merchants drink coffee all day
long and it has beeq noticed that many
of them lose their eyesight between the
ages of 45 and 50.
MOXSON’S COLD NERVE.
An Incident That Will Live Long
in Dakota History.
How a Plucky Man Captured Single-
Handed Two Desperate Outlaws
and Afterward Protected
Them from a Mob.
The nerviest man in the northwest
was Sheriff Orr’en T. Moxson a slight-
ly built man with a woman's mild blue
eyes who dressed as an ordinary citi-
zen and wore a derby hat. In his day
the job of sheriff was not a sinecure as
the two score notches on his gun at-
tested. He was never given to boast-
ing of his eventful life; but stories of
his wonderful nerve are told to-day by
the old fellows who helped settle the
twin Dakotas. The most remarkable
feat of his career was the capture
single-handed ot “Stub” Shay afid
Tom Quinn two notorious horsethieves
and all-round desperadoes who made
miserable the lives of the settlers who
lived near the Cannon Ball in Hettin-
ger and Morton counties.
A series of minor depredations cul-
minated in a bold raid on the “3-7”
ranch in which the outlaws got away
with the choicest bunch of horses.
Moxson accompanied by three cow
punchers started in pursuit the follow-
ing day. The trail followed the north
bank of the Cannon Ball through Het-
tinger and Morton counties until it
turned abruptly to the northwest at
the intersection of the North Fork.
It was evident that the outlaws were
making for the bottom lands of the
Missouri river. Once lost in the maze
of cottonwoods the pursuit would have
to be abandoned. Having traveled 125
miles in less than two days the horses
were jaded but they responded to the
promptings of the spurs and before
sunset of the second day they gal-
loped through Deer pass and halted
at the edge of the bottom lands. There
was a loud report and a bullet whizzed
above their heads. Not 300 yards
away was the outlaws’ camp and in
front of the small fire were Shay and
'•YOU'RE A DEAD MAN."
Quinn with Winchesters at their shoul-
ders.
Sheriff Moxson did some heavy think-
ing in the space of a few seconds. It
was useless to make a move forward
for they had the “drop” on him and
he did not care to sacrifice his two com-
panions needlessly. Finally he un-
buckled his belt and flung it with his
revolver to the ground. Dismounting
he tossed the bridle to one of bis
friends.
“Boys” he said “you remain here;
and don’t fire until you see me fall.”
Then whistling softly to himself he
sauntered toward the camp apparent-
ly taking no notice of the rifles covering
his heart.
“Fifty feet more sheriff and you’re a
dead man" cried Shay.
Moxson hesitated not the fraction of
an instant. The 50 feet were covered
and he walked steadily forward.
“For God's sake Moxson go back!
We don’t want to hurt you but we’ll
never be taken.”
The plucky officer took no notice of
the warning. The blue eyes were
fixed sternly on Shay's face. Still
whistling he strode straight to the
muzzle of the rifles brushed them
aside as if they had been broomsticks
and in much less time than it takes for
the telling two of the most desperate
men that infested the country were in
irons.
It was a marvelous exhibition of pure
nerve as well as an illustration of the
potency of the law. As was expected
in those days an effort was made to
lynch the outlaws. Nearly two score
men from neighboring ranges sur-
rounded the one-story frame building
that did double duty as a jail and a res-
idence. They made so much noise that
it interrupted the poker game between
Moxson and his prisoners. With two
revolvers in his hands he made his
appearance at the door and gave them
60 seconds to disperse. Then he went
back to his game and was interrupted
no more that night.
Moxson died three years ago not
with his “boots on” but as peacefully
as if his life had been spent in a Qua-
ker settlement. Shay and Quinn are
serving out their sentence in the peni-
tentiary.
New Exploration Party.
Mr. Morris K. Jessup of New York
has furnished funds to defray the ex-
penses of a systematic exploration of
the coasts of Asia and North America
from the Columbia to the Amoor river.
It is hoped to settletbe question wheth-
er Asiatics came to America by way ot
Kamchatka and the Aleutian islands.
Between the Columbia river and
Behring straiit there are ten funda-
mentally different languages having 37
dialects mutually unintelligible. On
the side of Asia seven distinct lan-
guages and ten dialects. The study and
investigation are to be carried on by
the American museum of natural his-
tory and will covera period of six years.
