a Desperate Attempt to Lynch Thomas
Allen—The Sheriff and a Deputy De-
tend Their Qhargo— Several of the Attack*
ing Party Shot in the Fight That Ensued—
-Other Notes.
A Mob Foiled.
Coronado, Kan., Dec. 11.—This morn,
about 2 o,clock an armed mob of Leotians
surrounded the jail at Leoti in this (Wichita) |
county, and made a desperate attempt to
lynch Thomas Allen, who is confincd there on
the charge of having been implicated in the
killing of Coulter and Ramsou February 27
last. I
i
John II. Edwards, sheriff of the county, 1
with Dick Wade his under sheriff, were in the
jaH at the time guarding their prisoner.
Tne mob broke in the jail door and demand- ,
ed the prisoner, and their demand being re- !
fused by the officers, the mob opened a heavy '
üre with Winchesters and revolvers on the oc-
cupants of the jail.
The oflieers returned the tire, fighting brave-
Jy for their man, and after a fierce skirmish
succeeded in repulsing the mob, severely
wounding} several of thein and saving the
life of their prisoner.
The names of the wounded men can not be
ascertained as they are secreted bv their
frieuds. None of the occupants of the jail
were injured.
Allen was arrested on the 9th inst., and was
taken to Leoti jail yesterday and filed a writ
of habeas corpus. All of the men who had
been arrested prior to this date on the same
charge had been released on bail by the su-
preme court and the news that Allen was at-
tempting to obtain his release on bail enraged
and maddened the Leotians, with the above
result.
A Missouri Safe liobber Cnuglit.
If St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 11.—Harry Johuson,
who robbed -the safe of the treasurer of Rey-
nolds county, this state, of $20,000, November
2, has been arrested in Hemphill county,
Texas. He had two accomplices who are
known aud will be captured. Twenty-five
hundred dollars was recovered from a prosti-
tute who wag with Johnson.

An Old Voutloo Lynched.
Mixdex, ~Ala., Dec. 11.—The body of
drew Edwards, colored, 70 years of age,
discovered a day or to ago suspended from a
limb of a tree a few miles from this place. The
matter was thoroughly Investigated and all in-
formation warrants the assertion that 4he old
man wa%lynched by men of his own color and
without the slightest cause other than super-
stition; he being considered a voudoo. Three
or more young negro men are suspected. The
old man was universally esteemed by all the
white people and his death by violence will be
avenged if possible.
YnquI Indians Not Yet Subdued.
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 11.—Reports from the
Mexican frontier say that the Yaqui Indians
have become so bold that the troops have
again been called out. The kiliing of Cajeme
did not stop their warfare, but simply changed
their tactics. They have many atble leaders
and the plan now pursued by theiu is to make
raids in small bands, not chancing a war by
massing forccs. In some instances they have
destroyed whole communities, run off the
stock and murdered the

cavalry has been sent to La Bonita, but has

AVhere Does the Water Start?
Galena, III., Dec. 9.—The sudden ap-
pearance of water iu many wells in southern
Wisconsin that have been perfectly dry since
the drought of last summer has causcd no
Utile wonder among the people. Wells are
filled almost to the top, streams run in abuu-
dance from hill sides and from springs that
have long been dr3-, and creeks and small
rivers whose beds have been drv for mouths
are gradually rising and bid fu r to become
formidable streams. The phenomenon ac-
currcd during a night aud is similar to that re-
ported from Sangamon county, this state,
aud at Mattoon and vicinity.
f Chopped Ills Victim to Pieces.
Paiestixe, Tex., Dec. 9.—At daybreak

aud cutting a deep wound in his left side.
Then he robbed his victim of $10 and escaped.
Lockett is stiil alive but there is no hope of
bis recovery.

innrder of his infant child, whleh was brutaliy
beaten and literally whipped to death, it6

responsibility upon a woman who liad charge
of the child, its mother being dead. A war-
rant has been issued for her itrrest
Tie Struck the Wrong Man.
Macox, Mo., Dec. 8.—In front of Dessert's
saloon last night Ellis Houston shot William
Bell. Both were negroes, and had quarreled,
when Bell struck Houston. The lalter drew
his revolver and fired, shooting Bell in the
head. The wounded man is now lingering at
the point of death. Houston gave himself up

Public attention has been called to
llie fact that north of Texas and west
of the Indian Territory there is a strip
of land two hundred miles long and
fifty wide, which is sometimes designa-
ted on the maps as "Public Lands,"
and sometimes as "No Man's Land,"
as it belongs to no State or Territory,
has never been surveyed and is not
open to entry. Though several thou-
sand people reside on this land, it is
without laws. They are said to get
along in a patriarchial style, and with-
out any other title to their land than
squatter rights, trusting that event-
ually it will be confirmed to them by
the General Government, and living in
hopes that in due course of time the
present unrecognized section will form
a portion of the new Territory propos-
ed to be formed from the Indian Terr -
tory or attached to .the adjoining Ter-
ritory of New Mexico.
This, however, is not the only stray
piece of territory belonging to the Uni-
ted States. Dakota formerly embraced
between its boundaries what is now the
Territory of Wyom ng, which was
formed from its south-western portion.
It is said to have been created by
Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
then the leader of his party " ia the
National House of Representatives, for
the purpose of making an official place
tor a personal friend who had distin-
guished himself as Colonel of a Penn-
sylvania regiment of volunteers at Get-
tysburg, It is named after Wyoming
Valley, Pennsylvania, a designation en-
tirely inappropriate and also confusing.
It should have a name suggestive of its
locality, and which should have been
entirely distinct from the distant and
famous valley. This similarity has
been the cause of no end of trouble in
postal matters, letters tor the Territory
often going to the Pennsylvania valley
and v.ce versa.
When the Territory of Wyoming: was
formed its boundaries were parallel
lines, and were, of course, irrespective
of mountain ranges or the courses of
rivers. The south-western portion of
Dakota had abutted on Idaho, which
Territory in its boundaries followed the
mountain ranges, giving it a sort of
leg-of-mutton shape, the three upper
counties, which propeilv belong to
Washington Territory, being the "bone
handle. The peculiar formation of
Wyoming and Idaho left between them
a considerable area of land. This, from
oversight, still belongs to Dakota,
though separated from it by an organiz-
ed Territory, and is so designated on
the maps of the United States Land
Office of the Interior Department It
is, however, without laws, as it is not
embraced within the jurisdiction of the
District or Count}' Courts of Dakota,
aud is outside of those of Idaho, to
which it is more properly assigned.
It is, like "No Man's Land," princi-
pally a neutral ground for crini nals.
Many of its residents are Mormons and
polygamists, but they cannot be tried
for polygomy or any other crime that
they may commit, because, in the pres-
ent state of affairs, there is no tribunal
before which they could be legally
brought. This leaving a piece of terri-
out in the cold is signiiicant of the
careless manner in which Congress at
times peiforms the work of legislation.
An act should be passed at the earliest
opportunity attachiug this orphan sec-
tion to Idaho, to which it properly
belongs. It would seem but proper,
also, that "No Man's Land," on the
Indian Territory border, should in
some way haye extended over it tho
laws of the United Slates.—Cincinnati
Enquirer.

How to See Through Your Hand.
Fold a sheet of writing papor into a
tube whose diameter is about three
centimeters (an inch or so). Keeping
both eyes opeu, look through the tube
with one eye, and look at the hand
with the other, the hand being placed
close by the tube. An extraordinary
phenomenon will be observed. A hole
the size of the tube will appear cut
through the hand, through which ob-
jects are distinctly visible. That part
of the tube between the eye and the
hand will appear transparent, as though
the hand were seen through it. This
experiment is not new, but the explan-
ation of it is quite evident —Dr. Footers
Health Monthly.
"GO CALMLY,YOU CAN'T WIN BY FORCING."
Mrs. Margaret Clark's Advice to I>o-
tery Players—She Won $15,000.
"Since you will buckle fortune on my back.
To bear her burden whe'r I will or no,
I must have patience to endure the load."
These meaning lines of Skakspeare
came vividly to the mind of the report-
er of the Picayune, who called Thurs-
day noon at the office of The Louisi-
ana State Lottery Compauy and was
introduced to Margaret Breen, wife oi
Thomas Clark.
The lady who is a native of Ireland,
County Fermanagh, was accoiupaired
by her husband. They held in their
possession one-tenth of ticket No. 71,-
411, which at the last draw ng of the
lottery became entitled to the capital
prize of $150,000.
It was in 1859 that the couple were
married. They have lived happily to-
gether and have a family of six chil-
dren, all of whom are full grown.
Clark, who has been a boss slater ly
trade for th rty-one years, pursued the
duties of his calling and Mrs. Clark at-
tended to the affa rs of the household.
Both parents have been heavy players
in the lottery.
The husband, on the other hand, has
also been an ardent player and has only
been successful once, drawing a prize
of $250. Mrs. Clark's advice to her
husband has always been: * Go calm-
ly; you can't win by forcing."
Speaking of the "monthly drawings,
Mrs. Clark stated that the ticket with
which she had just drawn the capital
prize was the teuth of the kind that
she had ever purchased.
When the good woman was handed a
check for $15,000 on the New Orleans
National Bank she calmly took it, pro-
ceeded to the bank and deposited it for
her account.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark, who have hith-
erto been iu ordinary circumstances,
say they will continue working, but not
trouble* themselves any extent. They

In regard to Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy for
rheumatism, and ask you If you arc afflicted with
this disease to try the medicine which has so greatly
benefited others. Hundreds of people who suffered
t^ie tortures of rheumatism, even in its severest
forms, have been completely cured by Hood's Sarsa-
parilla, the great blood purifier. It corrects tht
acidity of the blood, which is the cause of the dis
ease, and gives strength and vigor to every part or
the body.
"My wife has been troubled a long time with in-
flammatory rheumatism, and was so bad last spring
that It was hard work for her to walk. She derived
more real help from taking four bottles of Hood's
Sarsaparilla than from any other medicine she haa
taken.'* Joseph F. gbibx, cor. First aud c^ual
streets. Dayton, Ohio.
**I used Hood's Sarsaparilla lest spring, and can
truly say it helped nie very much. To those suffer-
ing with bilious complaints, neivous prostration, or
rheumatism, I earnestly recommend it." Mrs. E.

A thirty years. Four years ago I was so afflicted with
nilDCn them that I could not walk. I bought two bottles
uuiii.u« of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, and took
one 'Pellet* after each meal, till all were gone. By
that time I had no boils, and have had none since. I nave also
been troubled with sick headache. When I feel it coming on,
I take one or two ' Pellets,' and am relieved of the headache."
Mrs. C. W. Brown, of YTapakoncta, Ohio,
says: "Your 'Pleasant Purgative Pellets' are
without question the beet cathartic ever
sold. They are also a most efficient remedy
for torpor of the liver. We have used them
for years in our family, and keep them in
the house all the time."

YMPTOMS OF fÜATARRH.
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, dis-
charges falling from the head into the throat, sometimos pro-
fuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody and putrid; the eyes are weak, watery, and
inflamed; there is ringing1 in the ears, deafness, hacking or
coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive matter,
together with scabs from ulcers; the voice is changed and has
* nasal twang; the breath is offensive; smell and taste are im-
paired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental depression,
a hacking cough and general debility. However, oniv a few of
the above-named symptoms are likely to be present in any one
case. Thousands of cases annually, without manifesting half of
the above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in the
jrrave. No disease is eo common, more deceptive and dangerous,
less understood, or more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.

Prof. W. Rausver, the famous mesmer-
ist, of Ithaca, N. F., writes: "Some ten
years ago I suffered untold agony from
chronic nasal catarrh. My family physi-
cian gave me up as incurable, and said I
must die. My case was such a bad one,
that every dav, towards sunset, my voice would become so hoarse
I could barely speak above a whisper. In the morning my eough-
ing and clesring of my throat would almost strangle me. By the
use of Dr. Page's Catarrh Remedy, in three months, I was a well
man, and the cure has been permanent."
