grains oft of these ears and planted
them in a flower pot she had sitting
in the room in which a hard coal bur

An echo of A. A. Hatfield whose
spectacular exploits throughout this
section last year when he was en
gaged in buying walnut logs and bull
ing the booze market, occurred this
morning when W. J. Mullenlx of Kan
sas City, Mo., came in and entered
upon the task of trying to straighten
out some tangled affairs which Hat
field had left behind him when he de
parted from the country. Incidental
ly, Mr. Mullenlx evinces some curios
ity to find out what became of Hat
field. Since the gentleman left this
vicinity some nine months ago and
Invaded the country below Nebraska
City no trace has been found of him
and the firm who handled his bust
ness at Kansas City has considerable
curiosity to know just what became of
the gentleman. This curiosity is some
whetted by the fact that they have
paid out some $400 which Hatfield
recklessly squandered for them, glv
ing them no recompense therefor.
The firm would like to see where they
come in at on securing a return of
this wealth.
Hatfield came to this section some
two years ago and entered upon the
work of buying walnut logs ostensibly
representing' a firm of Kansas City
lumbermen who were selling the
logs to Germany where they went in
to furniture. He proved a genial,
hale-fellow-well-met and was a lavish
spender. His periodical sprees were
decidedly picturesque and prolonged
and on several of them he got him
self Into considerable trouble. He
claimed to be an Englishman but
his talk had the mellow and sofe ac
cent of the southerner much more
than of England. In conversation
with many people here he showed
much knowledge of the south and
claimed to have bought walnut tim
ber all over Texas, Louisiana and
other southern states.
After buying considerable of the
available walnut timber in this lo
cality, he closed out most of his
contracts around this city and
straightened out most of his affairs,
leaving no debts in this city or vicin
ity so far as learned. He then went
to Sioux City, la., in the vicinity of
which place he ' claimed to have
bought more lumber. Returning here
after he purchased considerable wal
nut timber around Mnrray and Union,
this timber to be cut during the fall
and this past winter when he stated
that he would return thia spring and
close up his contracts. He then went
on down below Nebraska City pre
sumably near Auburn where all trace
was lost of him.
Shortly after his departure for
Auburn and that vicinity rumors
reached this city that he had commit
ted suicide there by blowing his head
off with a gun. Other reports had
it that he cut his throat and various
other forms cf death were figured out
as having been Inflicted upon himself
but careful research Into the papers
published in the neighborhood of the
purported suicide failed to substanti
ate the rumors and they were gen
erally set down as canards. Traced
to the source such reports were al
ways'found to he hearsay and no one
could be found who knew of his
actual death.
Shortly before Hatfield's depatrure
from this city he claimed to have re
celved word from a sister In Eng
land that he was wanted at home
and to have receive a large remit
tance which to make the trip home
He may be there now for he seems
to have left Nebraska completely.
Hatfield during the many rows he
went through In this locality, was
severely beaten up several times. He
had an inordinate prejudice against
a negro especially when drunk and
leaped into temporary fame or notor
iety at Nebraska City by hitting
negro over the head In a saloon while
engaged in a drunken brawl. Ha also
had a fight with a negro porter on
a Burlington ' train while coming
down from Omaha, Hatlleld Insisting
that some young woman In a private
car had asked his personal attendance
upon her. lie was forcibly ejected
from the train in this city, lie also.
Insulted a highly respected young
lady at Murray and her brother pro
ceeded to beat him up so that he
had to lay In bed for some days and
was disfigured for some time follow
ing the event.
Mr. Mullenlx does not take much
stock In the suicide reports and Is
, firmly of the opinion that Hatfield
"just faded away." (T states that
that Hattield had agreed or it is so
claimed, to accept the logs on a basis
cf measurement which is entirely op
posed to all established rules and
these he cannot accept. Mr. Mullenlx
expect 8 to commence the purchase of
walnut in a very short time and to
close out all deals possible. He
states Hatfield did not represent the
Kansas City firm but acted 6n his own
responsibility, bring merely 'a brok
er. The firm advanced him money
as he needed It, as they had had the
benefit of his service for some time
and always had found him reliable
although given to drinking. He would
be obliged for any information which
might lead to Hatfield's location. Mr.
Mullenlx is stopping at the Perkins
hotel at present.

Death from this Disease
It people could only understand
that systemic catarrh is an Internal
disease that external applications can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady,
which, when neglected, paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year.
Yet catarrh ma ybe cured, If the right
treatment Is employed.
Catarrh Is caused by a general
diseased state of the system with
perhaps serious local condition, which
may prove a fertile breeding ground
for germs of consumption. External
remedies give but temporary rnse.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh Is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or Inter
nal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the In
fection of consumption and other dis
We. have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a specialty, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where hts treatment waa
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so posi
tive that It will completely overcome
catarrh in all its various forms, and
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid
us for the medicine in every case
where It fails or for any reason does
not' satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rex
all Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu-Tone In two sizes,
50 cents and $i. 00. Very often the
taking of one 50-crnt bottle Is suffi
cient to make a marked Impression
upon the case. Of course In chronic
cases a longer treatment Is necessary.
