KEITH'S BLOCK, OPPOSITE THE UNION PACIFIC DEPOT. Mexican M ustang Liniment. A Cure for the Ailments of Man and Beast A long-tested pain reliever. Its use is almost universal by the Housewife, the Farmer, the Stock Raiser, and by every one requiring an effective liniment ' No other application compares with it in efficacy. This well-known remedy has stood the test of years, almost generations. No medicine chest is complete without a bottle of Mustang Liniment. Occasions arise for its use almost every day. ! j-.-o-ists and dealers have it - DESPERADO GANG DONE FOR. Bob Sims and "Four Companion n on the Same Tree. Shvedta, Miss., Dec. 28. Thursday morning a large body of determined men followed Sims and three of his gang to. Sims' home, surrounding the hcr.se. Firing by the citizens and also "by the by the gang from Sims' house continued nntil 3 p. m. Christmas day. After consultations between the sheriff and Sims, the latter agreed to surrender on condition that they be pro tected and carried to the Butler jail. The sheriff promised the best protection he could give under the circumstances. Sims selected twenty-five men, and the sheriff twenty-five, and with them started to Butler. About one mile from Sims' house a body of men, from one to two hundred 6trong, took the Sims band from the guard and hanged them all to one tree, Suns expressed fears that he would never reach the lail dead or alive. When he was placed in the buggy for tne ratal nae ne retasea to be blindfold ed. He held out his hand and asked them to feel of his pulse to see if he was frightened, and said he was going to heaven. Young Savage said: "If you think enough of me to bury me, put me by the side of Sims. We are fighting for the same cause." lhey died cursing. The women were turned loose. The names of the Simsites hung are Bob Sims, Tom Savage, and Con Savage and ins two grown sons. Thus ends the defiance of the United States, the state of Alabama, and, in fact, all laws, by the notorious Bob Sims and four of his followers. Garza's Gang. San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 28. The forces of the Garza revolutionists in northern Mexico and along the Texas side of the Bio Grande border are rap idly increasing. According to present indications the numerous detachments are moving toward Camarago, Mex., where they will concentrate and then proceed in a body toward the interior. There was another engagement Satur day night between Garza's followers and a regiment of Mexican troops at the San Ignacius ranch, near Carrizo, Tex. The fight was at long .range, the Mexican troops being located on their side of the river, while the revolutionists were on Texas soil. One of the govern ment soldiers was killed and a number on both sides badly wounded. The rev olutionists were making their way to ward Camarago. About two hundred, being in detachments, were some dis tance from the border, when discovered and attacked by the Mexican troons. The revolutionists retreated, keeping up a running nre anu escaped across tne river into Texas, making a bold stand on this side. Owing to the lack of neces- sarr protection by the United States troops the movement of the revolution ists and their bold violation of the Unit ed States neutrality laws was not known to the authorities until late bunuay The first news of the engagement to reach here came m a dispatch to Dr, Plutarch Irnelas, the Mexican consul, from the Mexican consul at .Laredo. mere has been no otnciai word re ceived at department headquarters here from Captain Jb rancis 1. Haruie, of the Third cavalry, but a reliable report reached this point troni Laredo that ne and his command are in pursuit of 200 revolutionists who had been camping and receiving recruits near Encinal, Tex. Captain John G. Bourke, of the Third cavalry, who is in command of Fort Ringgold, has not been heard from for two days and no orders from the su perior orhcers located nere have been able to reach him, which leads to the be lief here that tho telegraph wires have been cut between Rio Grande City and Brownsville, or that he is surrounded by tho revolutionists. Factional Fight in the Grand Army. Caxtox, O., Dec. 26. The trouble that has been brewing in Grand Army and Women's Relief corps circles here for some time has broken out in full, and a bitter factional fight is the result. The fight is between Ada F.

Figuring three pounds of wool to the dollar of value shows that over 01,000,000 pounds were required b7 this addi tional manufacture, and as wool im ports increased cnlv about 30,000, 000 pounds in the second year, for which figures are given, the balance of 31.000,000 pounds must liave been supplied by domestic wool growers. Thus protection helps both manufacturers nnd csrricul- turists. New York Press. FORCE THEM OUT Scien tists tell us now that the best and safest wav to cure dis eases of the blood and skin is to force out through the skin the mi crobes or germs which produce dis ease. Iu this matter, Swift'6 bpecihe has been about sixtv years in advance or medical science, as it has for that length of time been curing blood and skin diseases, bv nating the germ3 and poison through the pores or the skin. b. o., dees this effectually, safely and quickly.

The charge is being made that the Royal Baking Powder contains ammonia. We would have supposed that the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders by the most eminent physicians throughout the land, and the fact of the three leading chemists of Minnesota mak ing their report to the Senate Committee recently showing that bread baked with the "Royal" contained ammonia and the hostility now being manifested by the public against all ammonia and alum baking powders would have driven them permanently from the market. In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become an indispensable article in every kitchen, it is gratifying to know that there are brands in the market to which no suspicion of any kind has ever attached. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar free from every taint of ammonia, alum or other substance. vtwo white men in Bosier, La., being pur sued too closely by a sheriff's posse, and peeing no way of escaping, killed himself.

Lincoln's Pace antl the Artists. Lincoln's features were the despair of every artist who undertook his portrait. The writer saw nearly a dozen, one after another, soon after tho first nomination .to the presidency, attempt the task. Theypnt into their pictures the large, rugged features, and strong, prominent lines; they made measurements to ob lain exact proportions; they "petrified" some single-look, but the picture re mained hard and cold. Even before these paintings were finished it was plain to see that they were unsatisfac tory to the artists themselves, and much more so to the intimate friends of the man this was not he who smiled, spoke. laughed, charmed. The picture was to the man as the grain of sand to the mountain, as the dead to the living. Graphic art was powerless before a face that moved through a thousand delicate gradations of line and contour, light and shade, sparkle of the eye and nf the lin. in the loner sramut of expression from grave to gay, and back I again from the rollicking jollity laughter to that serious, far away look luai.

An afternoon pa per prints a long article to the effect that the meeting of the Tinned Plate Manu facturers' association, which is toht held in January, was called for the pur pose of preparing a bill to be presented to congress increasing tho import duty on tin 1 cent per pound. It is alleged mat as tne tana now stanus tne clutv insufficient to afford adequate protection as it leaves an opening for old established tinned plate factories in the old world tc deluge the American market at a tun when such action would be decided! detrimental to tne lntlustry, Conductors Will Fight Against Ttniids. xiAxsAS uity, Lec. 24. me order is sued some time ago by General Managei Morrill, of the St. Louis and San Fran cisco, to the effect that the conductors will on and after Jan. 1 have to rive a $500 bond for the faithful Tierfonnance or tneir duties is meeting with strennou opposition, and there are fears that trouble will ensue. On beinsr madeac quamted with the order the conductors held a meeting and ap pointed a committee to call on uenera Manager Morrill to protest, but the latter wired the committee that ho would not receive them. The trip was abandoned, but the Order of Railroad Conductors, it is said, will name strong ticket. It is said that the Alton has issued a similar order. Genera .manager Mornu said tnat the issuance of the order had been contemplated foi a long time, but it had not yet been is sued, and how the matter became public he was at a loss to understand. "The Atchison conductors are required to rive bond, and tne r nsco Having come undei the banta J? e management it must foL low that the conductors on that road sliold give similar security.' The State TVon Colorado, Tex., Dec. 24. The famous "Block 97" case, the state of Texas ts, Bacon & Graves, which involves the title to a whole block of land in Scurry county of over 373,000 acres, was de cided in the district court in favor of the state. The defendants gave notice of Speaker Crisp's Selection of Chairmen "Washington, Dec. 24. Following are the chairmanships of the most important committees as arranged by Speaker Crisp: J udiciary Unlber tson. Interstate and Foreign Commerce K. Q. Mills. Banking and Currency Bacon.

Washington, Dec. 28. The house committee on rules has made little or no progress with the important work of preparing a new code of rules for the guidance of the house. Speaker Crisp has been entirely too ill to rive anv at tention to the matter, and Mr. McMillan is out of the city. The house will therefore continue at work under the rules of the congress over which Mr. Carlisle presided, for at least two and probably three weeks after the holiday recess is over. It is not expected that this will work to any disadvantage as no important business is expected to come before the house until some of the committees have considered the bills re ferred to them and some reports have been placed upon the calendar.
