No one thing IB giving Council Dluffn BO widely distributed au advertisement as the preparation Known as Mecca Compound. Letters from nearly e\ery state In the un'on show how widely It Is scattered by the handx of Its friends. This IB the more remarkable In vlow of the fact that It Is a notmd\ertlscd remedy , and the testimonials come unsolicited. Surely no discovery In the present age has done more to relieve the sufferings of the altllcted than thle wonder worker , and It calls forth the grati tude of many a sufferer.

GOOD CASK AI.AlNsl IIDNIKIU Itupcctor SIrrcor Think ) tlio Sioux City Mm In rulrlv < might. W. G. D. Mercer , the United States Inspec tor , was In the city yesterday , on his way from Sioux City to Chicago. Mention was made n yesterday's Bee dispatches of the arrest of Dr. H. C. Hunter at Sioux City on the charge of using the malls for the purpose ol booming an establishment for performing criminal operations upon unfortunate women , Mercer considers the case one of the best he has e\cr worked up. For a year and a hall he has been collecting Information with refer ence to Hunter's scheme , which has beer operated all over western Iowa. Clrcuhrt were sent to country doctors , offering them $25 commission for all cases they sent to hit "hospltil. " Mercer secured the services of a woman detective. He drew up letters to Hunter , which were copied by the woman and sen ) through the malls. She masqueraded as o woman In trouble , and Hunter fell Into the trap , Implicating himself by means of his written statements In numerous criminal act * "As these acts are unlawful , " said ho Irene ono of the letters , "I shall have to charg < > ou a fee which may seem to you to be ev orbltant. " Two hundred dollars was named as the price she would have to pay , and foi that sum he would guarantee her a safe re turn home after ten days and Immunity from prosecution. He said he had bett treating cases of this kind for five years many of his patients being girls 17 and li years of age. The woman detective carried out her pan of the case to perfection. Mercer went t ( the room where the operation was tc be per formed and had to show Hunter the $200 bi > fore business could be commenced. Th' woman was laid out upon the table anc Hunter went to work In the most dellberati way to get his tools In shape. Just befori hs was ready to commence he- turned hii back for a moment , and when he turned bad found himself gazing down the barrel of My- cer's revolver. Quick as a flash the wonlar Jumped from the operating table , and befon Hunter fully realized what had happened shi had the handcuffs securely fastened nrour , ; his wrists. Inspector Mercer has consulted cmlnen specialists with a view to fortifying hlmsel against any technicalities that may be re sorted to , and says he Is prepared to sl-ov that Hunter has been guilty of deilbjrati murder In cases almost without number Unfortunately the United States liws ca ; only be used In prosecuting on the on charge , of using the malls for fraudulen purposes , and the maximum penalty lor thl crime is a fine of $1SOO and a three ytan term In the penitentiary , but by the time thl case Is disposed of the matUr will In al probability bo further prosecuted In the flat courts.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock a tele phone message was recehed at the clt marshal's office from 'George W.

Officer Co alt was cent to fin whether the visitor had a right there an arrlNed Just In time to catch W.

Keller has been employed by Mueller fc years , and Is regarded as almost Indtsper sable about the place , being able to maV a piano from the ground up. He has bee In the habit of getting drunk occasional ! ; and at such times has stolen things out c the store and pawned them. Heretofor Mr. Mueller has always redeemed the stole goods and taken the price ol them out c Keller's * wages , but this time he pays he will show Keller that he can exist If they do part company , and will prosecute him to i finish. When Keller saw the officer he made a break ( or nn outhouse near by , presumably for the purpose of putting his booty out of sight.

Adler , who came to Council Bluffs about a month ago , courted a young lady of 32 summers five days and then married her , has left the city with his wife and nothing has been heard from them for a week. He claimed to ha\e been Judge of some court In Baltimore and to have amassed n tremendous fortune , which en abled him to bc'stow upon his bonny bride check for $50.000 as a wedding gift. A clegram was sent to parties In Baltimore iy some of the members of the local bar nil It was found that no man of the name f Adler had been known In Baltimore. So nr as can be learned , none of the local anks have e\er been called upon to cash he $50.000 check , and altogether there Is n air of mystery about Judge Adler and his flairs that has r.ot yet been dispelled. Ills rlcnds claim that he has merely gone off on . visit and will return before long , but ome doubt Is thrown over their hopes by he fact of the Judge having worked quite number of his friends for sums of cash ggregatlng several hundred dollars before going away. A letter has been sent to 'rete , Neb. , where he Is suppose 1 to have gone , and It Is hoped that an answer will hrow some light on the question of his thereabouts today or tomorrow.

James Bishop Is ! a joung man who has been selling peanuts at the driving park ilurlng the ten days' racing meet which has ust closed , and In carrying out the duties if Ills position he made the acquaintance to i limited extent of Charles T. Stewart Saturday afternoon he decided to take a ady friend out riding. He went to the old Dohany barn on Bryant street and engaged a rig. After the ride he sent the rig back o the stable In care of a messenger boy , sending word to the proprietor that Stewart owed him some money and would pay for he rig. On looking the matter up the owner of the horse found that Stewart had gl\en no one authority to hire rigs at his xpense. An Information was filed In the city clerk's office and Bishop was arrested yesterday. It has been found since then that Bishop tried the same dodge at the Bryant house opposite the police station , where ho had been stopping during the races , and as a result there Is an unpaid board bill against him.

Many of the visitors went to Omaha during the day , and the resorts of Omaha and Council Bluffs were well patronized.

I ' ) ! > I . . . A correspondent of-Uw St. Louis Globe- democrat discovered. In. an obscure corner f Albuquerque , N. M. , a man who partlcl- ated In the famous Impeachment trial of President Andy Johnson , and whose vote urned the scales of Justice In favor of the resident. The man was Edmund 0. Ross , Jnlted States senator from Kansas from SC3 to 1871. Mr , Ross Is a printer and publisher and , vas found with printer's stick In hand Illgently setting type. Gray-haired and pare of bujld , there was nothing In the ppcarance of the man to Indicate that he vas a participant In one of the most mem- rablo scenes In American history. In sketching the leading Incidents of his Ife Mr. Ross graphically described the clos- ng scenes In the Impeachment trial. He iald : "President Johnson was obstinately tent upon the carrying out of what he called ils policy , In which many found convincing iroof of his dlslojalty , b.it from the very Irst I was persuaded that there was noth- ng In his conduct Justifying the extreme neasurcs proposed by the advocates of 1m- leachment , which , If carried , would make . political pariah of the president. The rer- onal humiliation of the president was no Ight matter , but It seemed to me that the cgradatlon of the olllco he held was of far greater Importance * that , If accomplished , ho presidency , ceasing to bi > a co-crdlnate ranch of the gove'n'.cn' , "vould become ho pliant tool of congress ; that In the face if the Increase of legislative power thus irepared for , the Judiciary would also be ubordlnated In turn , and that what was : ontemplated was the transformation of our nlsely balanced government Into a congres- lonal autocracy. Moreover , It was proposed iy the polltcal cabal , then all-powerful lu iVashlngton , to rep'ace Johnson with Wade hould their plans succeed , and I was well nough acquainted with the latter to know hat the Impetuosity , bigotry and unreason- .ng . hatreds that helped to make him a power In the senate would In all probability make him ono of the worst of executives. And so , carefully considering all these facts , could not help regarding the proposed Im peachment as a blunder worse than a crime : ind decision as to how my own vote should be cast was , therefore , taken without de- y. " "The president's Impeachment was made a party question from the first , was it not ? " "Such , to the deep regret of those who de- Ircd the free exercise of a dispassionate udgmont , was unfortunately the case. ' In he houte every republican save one voted for he adoption of the articles of Impeachment hlle every democratic member voted against hem , and the benate and public were slinrplj 'Ivlded on the same partisan line * . The Indictment of the president hav- ng been adopted by the house , amo to the senate sitting as a high court of Impeachment. Here , with due re- sard for the order , .dignity anJ solemnity of he occasion , testimony v\as \ taken , arguments hcardtand a day set fpr a vote. During the ew days' recess between the closing of the hearing and the tltno appointed for a vote excitement at Waslnngt6n was at fever heat. The clly was crowded with people from all parts of the country1 , attracted to the capital by Interest In the trjal and the hope of se curing office phould khe Removal of the presl- Jent be effected. To secure this result the otes of two-thirds of the fifty-four senators , ill of whom were present , would be neces sary. It became kno\vn \ during the rccest that eighteen senators'were certain to vote 'or ' acquittal. A single accession to their ranks would defeat 'impeachment , and It was sought by offers of money and patronage as well as Intimidation and threats of vlo- ence , to bring all doubtful senators Into Ine for conviction. In some cases , when all these things failed , vandal was made use of as a weapon of coercion , but the re sult showed how sadly three who employed these weapons had mistaken their Intended victims. " "Had you given It out how you Intended to vote ? " "No , but my silence aroused the appre hensions of the advocates of Impeachment , and on May 14 , 1868 , the evening before the vote was to be taken , I received a telegram signed by D. R. Anthony and 1,000 other Kansas republicans which stated that Kan sas had heard the evidence and demanded the conviction of the president. I at once replied that I did not recognize their de mand , that I should vote either for or against conviction. ,1 had taken , I said , an oath to do Impartial Justice according to the constitution and laws , and trusted that I should have the courage and honesty to vote according to the dictates of my Judg ment and for the highest good of the coun try. I had written and signed this mes sage and It was lying on the table before me when General Thomas Ewlng , who was ono of my warmest personal friends , callec upon me and asked how the vote was golnf to go on the morrow. I handel him tin dispatch I had Just written and told bin I held the decision of the question In mj hands , but that no living soul should knov what my vote was going to bo until It wai cast on the following day. " "The events on May 15 , ! SOS , " he wsnt on "have long been a part of history , but thi scene comes back to me as though It wen a happening of yesterday. When the sen ate came to order Just before noon everj senator was In his seat ; the house had ad Journed to permit the attendance of Us members ; the president's cabinet and coun sel , and the entire diplomatic corps wen present , and the gallerlts were thronged bj a brilliant and eager nudlencc. Chief Jus tice Chase , who had presided over the trla from the beginning , called the court , tc order. Instantly a profound stillness setclci upon the great assemblage , and when tin voting began a pin's fall could have be r heard In any part of the room. The names of the senato.-s were called In alphabetlca order , and each gave his response standlnj at his desk. It was well known what tin first doz3n responses would be , but whei the name of Senator Fessenden was called subdued whispering , token of an Incrcaset Interest , was heard on every hand. In th < senate caucus a few days b'fore Senator Fes senden had argued with earnestness am power against the impeachment of the presl dent , and since then unexampled effort ! had taen made by members of the party o which he had long been an honored leadei to Induce him to favornconvlctlon all with out effort. His pale fnco and the tense line : about his mouth sliowwl that he saw clear ) ] the personal consequences of the step hi was about to take , , but In a firm voice hi voted against conviction , thus Invoking thi political martyrdom tliat put a sudden perloc to an Illustrious career and soon drove bin to his grave. ' ' " "Senator Fowler pf Tennessee , one of thi youngest members ot tile senate , was the nex to vote. He was a radical republican and per sonally unfriendly ( o the president , but dli not feel that the case against the latter hai been proved , and h also voted 'Not guilty. After this the name of Senator Grimes o Iowa was called by theichlef justice. Strlckei with a fatal illnessi this venerable statesmai had come from a sick , bed at the Immlnen risk of his life to record his vote , and had t be supported on cltlierflldo by friends as h rose to his feet. Ills vote was against con vlctlon , and It was , the , last Important publl act of a noble career. enator Henderson o Missouri was the next antl-lmpeachlng repub llcan to cast his vote , and then the call wen on down the alphabet , with responses o 'Guilty' from the republican senators , untl my own name was called , and I knew tha the decisive moment of my life had come. "The vote , you will remember , was beln taken on the eleventh and last article of Im peachment. A majority of the senate ha ordered that a vote should not be taken o the first article In Us order , for the reaso that two prominent republican senators ha announced In caucus that they could not vet for the conviction of the president on th charge contained In that article , but would s vote on others. Accordingly , the vote wa being taken on the eleventh article or cour in the Indictment. When I arose to my fei In response to the Inquiry of the chief Justle ai to how I should vote under thU utlcli silence again settled over the great audience , whose Interest , a trifle dulled by the monotony ot the last dozen responses , the nature of which had been well Known for many weeks , had begun to stir restlessly and break here and there Into low bits ot conversation , The stillness In the senate chamber following this momentary relaxation was not unlike that which prevails on the prairie on n windless summer afternoon , It was so Intense as to be almost oppressive , and , the focus toward which a thousand pairs of eyes were turned , no one felt Its Influence more than I. StandIng - Ing at my desk and facing the chief Justice , It Is the simple truth to say that I caw yawnIng - Ing before me an open grave , In which were about to be burled friends , position , the hopes of future honors and the other things that men prize most In life. The most stolid would have been awed and thrilled by the heavy responsibility circumstances , without my seeking , had placed upon my shoulders , and I am not ashamed to confess that at first my voice trembled and sank to nervous whisper. In an Instant , however , self-control returned , and when distant senators called for a repetition of my answer the voice In which I uttered the words 'Not guilty' reached all parts of the chamber. "The chief Justice promptly checked the onfuslon which followed the casting of my vvn vote , and then the call went on down le alphabet. Two additional republlcin otcs , those of Senators Trumbull and Van v'lnhle , were cast for acquittal , and , as the id was reached , the chief Justice announced he president's acquittal of the charges con- allied In the eleventh article. Alter this IB court adjourned for ten days , when otes were haJ on the second and third rtlclcs , but the result was the same , and ho remaining eight articles were never put o the test of a vet ; . The die was cast be- end recall , and the greatest trial of a entury had ended In a triumph for the orm of Government wisely fashioned by the athers of the republic. " "Your foiccast of the personal consequences f your own vote did not prove a mistaken nc ? " I asked. No. My own state , which was radically epubllcan , turned against mo almost to a ian. I was burned In effigy by members of iy old regiment , and Mormed with abuse nd anathemas. Nothing , Indeed , was left ndono that could tend to wreck my future , had anticipated all this , but to attacks pen my private honor I made such reply s dignity and self-respect would permit. Defending my course on the floor of the enate I declared t'nat I could not , with the ght before me , declare the president guilty f high crimes and misdemeanors on mere Ifferences of governmental policy , and I hallenged my detractors to appear before ho senate and exhibit evidence showing hat I had been Influenced by mercenary r corrupt motives to vote as I did. But not i j of them ever saw fit to take up this hallenge , and , to my thinking , thirty years f honorable poverty have given final answer o their charge. . Beyond tills , however , I vas content to leave the Justification of my lotlves to the EOber bc-cond thought of the atlon , and It Is no mean satisfaction to now that many of those who In 186S were nest bitter and unreasoning In their anl- noslty now confirm without reserve the .ltdom . and Justice of the course I then saw t to take. " I retired from the senate In 1871 and be- aine the editor and proprietor of a weekly aper In Coffeyvllle , Kan. In 1873 I bc- ame connected with t1i Liwrence Journal , nd a llttlo later established tlie Lawrence tandard , which I movc-d to Leavenworth In 875. I opposed Grant's second election to he presidency In 1S72 , and have ever since cted with the democratic party. The Stand- rd did not prove a succes-R , and after a eng fight against odds I left Kansas for Vew Mexico. I was emplojcd as a printer n the Albuquerque Democrat , when , In 1885 , 'resident Cleveland appointed me governor f New Mexico , which office I held for four cflrs. After that I was for a time editor f the Doming Headlight , but finally returned o Albuquerque , where I shall probably end ny days. Fortune lias dealt me a good nany hard blows , but I have always had ny trade and a clear conscience to sustain IH- and do not complain. " "Counting all It cost you , senator , " I asked In conclusion , "havo you ever ren grctted your course In the Johnson trial ? " "Not for an instant , " was the prompt ro ily. "Tho principal article In the Impeach ment of the president was the removal of Secretary Stanton In defiance of the tenure- f-offlco act , a measure which , when It first came from congress , Stanton himself had tamped as unconstitutional. With the ac cession of Grant tSie act fell Into desuetude , ind a few years later a republican benate roted for Its repeal. I contend there was 10 vital principle In an act that could thus > o neglected with Impunity by republican uccehsors of Johnson and repealed by a re publican senate. By the votes of the sena- ors who opposed Impeachment a vicious precedent was avoided and the country saved 'rom a fatal blunder. " WHERE COIN IS KEPT. Hulk of the Iliilllon Stored In the National Trcnsury. The man who escorts strangers through the vaults of the national treasury In Wash- ngton exhibits an amazing grasp of big figures. He knows the breadth , depth and circumference of the nation's bullion and , s thoroughly at homo In reeling off millions n statistics. To a correspondent ot the Chicago Times-Herald he gave these Inter esting facts regarding the vaults and their contents : There are In all seven vaults In the treas- ivry , and the total amount of gold , sliver notes and bonds In them Is nearly $800,000- 000. But It Is "the big silver vault" thai all the visitors want to see. Thpy have Hoard of It and Ils dimensions , and they an curious to behold It with their own eyes. "Great Jehosophat ! " exclaimed a stranger with bulg.ng eyes , as he stood at the dooi to this vault ; can't be possible all that stufl In there Is silver ? Why , It Is as big as i meeting house. " "Yes , It's all silver , " replied the accom modatlng and Intelligent guide. "This blf vault occupies all the space under the north ern court yard of the treasury buildng. Hi exact measurement Is 89 feet long , 51 fee wide and 12 feet high. Behind the Iroi grating you see wooden boxes. They an all full of silver $2,000 In each box. Th < lioxea are piled all around the eJgcs , and tr the middle are bags of silver piled In a greai heap. We have lots of trouble with thh silver. The boxes burst and the bags ge rotten , and then when a new administrator comes In wo have to weigh It all. It takei us about three months to do the Job , and It' : dreadful hard work. " 'Does this vault contain all ot Uncle Sam'i silver ? " asked the stranger. "Oh , no , bess ! you , no , " responded thi guide. "Here we have only $103,240,000 It coined dollars. That Is less than n fifth o all the silver the government owns. Ii vault No. 2 you passed that on your way li we have $48,000,000. In smaller vaults wi hfve a few million more. We never co-iU find space for all Uncle Sam's silver here We are frightfully crowded as It Is. In all we have here 160,000,000 or 170,000,000 o silver dollars. The remainder of the 370,000 , 000 , of coined dollars owned by the goven ment Is In the subtreasurles at New York Chicago and other cities. " "You say Uncle Sam has more than 500 , 000,000 of silver dollars on hand ? " 'Yes , sir. Standard dollars , 370,000,000 , am silver bullion enough to make 178,000,001 more ; grand total , $548,000,000. " "But there must bo a lot of silver dollar In circulation ? " asked the stranger. "Not as many as you would think , " re piled the guide. We have coined 422,000,00) ) of these dollars , and the number In clrcula tlon Is now only 63,000,000. The people don' seem to want 'em. We've done everythlni we could to Induce the people to take th standard dollar. Congress has appropriate ! money nearly every year to enable the sccre tary ot the treasury to send out silver dollar In exchange for other money without expens to the people , but It doesn't seem to make an ; difference. They don't go. Why , the numbe of standard dollars In circulation now I much smaller than It was a few years age Instead of Inducing the people to take mor of the dollars , they have actually been send Ing them back to us. " "Do you know how much the govern ment has paid out for silver ? " asked th stranger , "To a cent , " replied the guide , consul ) Ing a little note book which ho drew fror his pocket. "We have bought C03.003.81 fine ounces , for which we have paid $516 , 623,011. That Is an awful lot of money. " "And how much Is that silver actuall worth today ? " persisted the stranger. The guide used his lead pencil ( or a me ment and then replied : "Just $331,925.683. The net loss to th government on Us silver purchaneu nas bee $181,697,923 " At this the visitors stopped lookln through the Iron grating nt the boxes of silver , and tuincd thur faces toward the guide. "You find It pretty difficult to undetslnmJ such big figure ; , don't you ? " continued the official ; "every onu docs. Wo rau't urn- cclvc a million very well. It's too big for us. I'vo thought a good deal about this while taking visitors to sco the vaults and I bcllevo 1 can help you to appreciate what a million Is. By this time every nmn and woman In the crowd was listening Intently to what the guide had to tiny , "Now , If you have seventeen of thrsr silver dollars , " ho went on , "jou cnn easily hold them In jour hand. They weigh Jnt about a pocnd. But If you have $1,000 > ou will have about all you could carry , or sixty pounds' weight. Now , suppobu Instead of a thousand silver dollars you have a mil lion. That means thirty tous of silver To haul It through the smooth streets ot Wash ington In our big treasury wagons would trtko twelve or fifteen wagons. Now , do jou grasp what a million means ? And then rp- mcmber that Undo Sam has 54S.OOO.OOO of silver. "Let us look ot It In another way TaKe eight silver dollars and place them In a row on the table , fiat , rim to rim. Tncywl'l ' reach Just a foot. If you ha\o n thousand placed In the same way they will reach 125 feet. Itut suppose jou have n million. Then they will make n white stre-ak more than twenty-three and one-half miles long "Having now secured a better appreci ation of the magnitude of a million , " the guide continued , "let mo give you some figures 1 have made at odd moments about the 51S.OOO.OOO silver dollars Uncle Sam has In these and his other vaults the silver that he has paid out his good money for and which the people do not want. "If nil of these dollars were placed rim to rim , fiat , they would reach nearly 13,000 nillca. "They would cover all the spice between the rails on a railway line clear across the state ot Iowa , a dlstanca of 350 miles. "Tho weight of all Uncle Sam's silver Is 16,440 tons. It It were loaded Into railway cars , 40,000 pounds to the car , we should have 822 car loads. This would make twenty trains of forty-one cars each , and these trains , with their locomotive' , would have an aggregate length of slmiles. . "Tho coined dollars arc packed In boxes containing $2,000 each. It Is about all a man an do to carry off one of these boxes. Sup- iose we wanted to move all of Uncle Sam's liver by man power at the same time , we hould need at this rate 274.000 men. Giving ach man five feet of room they would make single file procession more than 2. > 0 miles ong. Twenty-seven states and territories of lie union have not so many men as this Ithln their borders. Arkansas would fnil 5,000 short of enough , Connecticut 50,000 liort , Louisiana 25,000 , and even Marlaud , Inlno and Mississippi could not furnish 'he cqulred number. "If the government were forced to carry all he silver across country In wagons prohnbly ,000 pounds would be a fair load to each \\o-lioree team , taking good rotuls and bad oads. Sixteen thousand teams would be ic- _ ulred , and when on the road , driven close ogether , one after another , they would make caravan considerably moro than 100 miles ong. "If these teams were lined up side by side n solid phalanx , as the wagons of scttlera vcre on the borders of the Oklahoma Flrlp , hey would mak'e a column thirty miles long , vlth every horse able to swish flics off his ack. "Suppose all this silver was coined and tored away loose , so you could g 't at It aslly , and you were set counting it , dollar y dollar. How long do you suppose It would nke jou to count It all ? Well , If jou ran ho dollars through your fingers at ths tftte f 100 a minute and worked ten hours a day , excepting Sundays , It would take you nbout hlrty years to finish the Job. " A QUEER MES3ENQEB. The Cockroach Mnll Currier In the Ohio I'caltentmry. An Interesting story Is related by the Cln- Innatl Enquirer with reference to a scheme 'or ' the transmission of information in the Ohio penitentiary discovered years ago by Dr. Sid McClure , then resident physician at he prison. Confined In adjoining cells at tlit line were John Ryan , a Chicago thief , and Bill Rodlfer , a desperate burglar , who was killed one night several years ago while going through a house at Indianapolis. Ilyan "abored along under the sobriquet of "Star- Ight Jack , " and was as villainous & fellow as ever held up a stage coach. His bravery in withstanding a flogging with the cat-o'-nlnc tails and not uttering a sound brought him to the attention of Rodl- 'er , who looked upon him as being made ol he real stuff. Rodlfer himself was under going punishment In his cell at the time anil while Starlight Jack's wounds were heal- ng ho was locked up In his cell , which , ac stated , adjelned that occupied by Rodlfer. Though the door of the cell was locked and a great wall separated them , yet they were sufficiently close together to become ac quainted. So well did they take advantage ol the opportunity that they were soon upon the best of terms and arranged to make a break ogether for liberty. Each had friends upon the outside ready to assist him. Matters went along swimmingly until one day when Dr. McClure happened along and was the means of frustrating their plans. The doctoi had occasion to visit a cell near that ol Ryan. The heat drove him outside the eel ! and there , leaning up against the Iron railing he stood to cool off. While standing there , the convict wnom h ( was attending , and who was a bitter cncmj of Rodlfer , told him to watch at the botton of the doors to the cells in which Rodifei and Ryan were confined , and see whethei an Insect would not soon make Its appear ance and pass to and fro from each cell Dr. McClure followed Instructions , and In i little while was engaged In watching a cock roach which would come out of Ryan's col and enter that occupied by Rodlfer. Remain Ing there for a time , It would return. Thh It Kept up. 'What does It mean ? " asked the doctor o the convict. "Tho next tlma It comes out of cither eel catch It , " was the answer , "and see wha you will find. " Dr. McClure for the second time followei Instructions , and was rewarded for his pains Attached to one ot the tiny wings of tin roach he found a bit of paper , upon vvhlcl were some queer characters. The paper hi took to the warden's office , together with tin Insect. The characters deciphered ehowec there was a plot between Ryan and Rodlfei to escape. Doth men , seeing the Jig was up explained all. They had adopted a clphe In order to the better prevent their plan being discovered In the event of any of thel notes falling Into the wrong hands. Whll they were wondering how best to exchang confidences Ryan managed to espy a react Writing a note , ho fastened It to a wing c the Insect and shoved It out underneath th door of his cell. Rodlfer's cell being th closest bj % the roach made Its way under neath the door to that. Hodlfer , after readln the note , would send back an answer In th same way. The roach was kept going and coming si Beecham's pills are for bilious ness , bilious headache , dyspep sia , heartburn , torpid liverdiz- , ziness , sick hcadachebad , taste in the mouth , coated tongue , loss of appetitc.sallow skin.etc. , when caused by constipation ; and constipation is the most frequent cause of all of them.
