BANDITS OF THE SAHARA.
Tim rntmrcc Mild to He the Worst or All
Oririiiilx'il ItoliberM.
Tho Tounregs ate the most formida
ble bund of professional brigands In
the worjtl. They occupy the entlro cen
tral part of the Sahara, from (Ihudnmes
ou the north to Tlinbttctoo on the
south. It is impossible to give tin ap
proximate idea of their numbzr.s. Dr.
Hupun estimates the population of the
entlro Sahara tit !!,n0D,u00, and it h
probable that tho twenty-six sub
families of thu great tribe of the Tounr
egs number nt least -100,01)1) souls. All
tho trade routes from Algeria and
Tunis, nnd some of those from Morocco
nnd Tripoli, pass through their terri
tory. It was theso fanatical nomads
who murdered Miss Tlnne, tho hand
t.oinc young heiress of Holland, whose
devotion to the cuuse of discovery led
to her tragical fate In the desert. Tho
Tounregs murdered the entire Flatters
expedition. They killed u half dozen
Cut holla priests who were toiling across
tho desert to found missions in tlto
Soudan. Lieut l'nlttt, ami, a llttlo
later, Camille Dotils, both of whom
were undertaking tho hazardous jour
ney to Tlinbttctoo, met death by vlo
leneo in tho Touareg country. Ilut
their hand Is turned no more against
the whites than tigalnst every traveler
in their land who hns plunder worth
bulzing. '
The Central Sahara is a land where
violence is supreme, wliero treachery is
the only law. Not ono of the murder
ers of white travelers has been pun
ished, llrncst Mcrciur und M. I.o Chut
ellcr havo graphically described the
reign of terror In this irreat region.
Many thousands of Arabs or Arnb-Hcr-bers,
who live by catnol raising, spend
their lives In the Touareg country or
urotiud Its borders. They guard their
herds with arms In their hands, but
very often the gunrds are killed by u
Midden descunt of Tounregs, and tho
herds nro driven away to enrich tho
bandit camps. Only those Arab tribes
ure safe that pay heavy blackmail to
be lot alone. Trading caravans are al
ways ou tho lookout for black specks
on thu horizon that may indicate tho
approach of the desert pirates. As
soon us a suspected group appears In
tho distance the camels nro collected
nnd made to lie down, tho goods ure
piled up behind thorn, und inside this
double rampart tho traders open fire
when tho enemy comes within range.
More titan half the tbjiG tho Tounregs
win tho day, and ther booty that falls
to them they regard as tin ample recom
pense for tho losses they sustain. St

"One of my neighbors, M John .
Gilbert, hns been sick for a long
time. All thought himpastrccovery.
He was horribly emaciated from the
inaction of his liver nnd kidneys.
It is difficult to describe his appear
ance and the miserable state of his
health at that time. Help from any
source seemed impossible. He tried
your August Flower and the effect
upon him was magical. It restored
him to perfect health to the great
astonishment of his family and
frieuds." JohuQuibell, Holt, Out. .
JAY GOULD.
After all Jay Gould died of con
sumption. The doctors said he had
neuralgia and Jay offered a million
of dollars to any one who would . .
cure him of his trouble. It turned
out that he did not have neuralgia
at all, but simply consumption.
Don't you make this same mistake.
If you feel that your lungs are weak
or that you are subject td colds and
coughs, or if your throat be sore
and tender, get a bottle of Rcid's
German Cough and Kidney Cure i fc,
and take it freely. It contains no--
poison and it is the only cough
remedy on the markdt that minis
ters to all of the excretory organs.
The small bottles cost twenty-five
cents, large size fifty cents. Every
druggist has it.
