road home. When they had crossed
tho river bridge and reached Jeff Beau
champ's place, ono of tho crowd pulled
a gun and opened up on Jeff's flock of
chickens, killing ono of them. Jeff
started out to remonstrato with the
slayer of his poultry, but was immedi
ately fired upon and forced to seek
Mhelter behind a friondly trco. Several
more shots wero fired at him, but Ho
escaped without injury. A litto farther
along on their road homo the Jay
hawkers esplod a man ahead of them
in a -wagon and proceeded to tako a
few shots at him. No ono was injured,
but the chances nro those loughs, if
their names can bo nscortained, will be

Keating Taken to the Penitentiary.
Frank Keating, convicted of assault
ing nud robbing John Rose, of Rose
mont, was sontonccd last Friday even
ing by Judge Adams to servo a term of
seven years at hard labor in tho stato
ponitontlary. Sheriff McArthur took
Keating to Lincoln last Tuesday morn
ing. Tho Keating caso has attractod con
siderable attention in Webster county
owing to tho mass of conflicting evi
dence and tho largo number of wit
nesses summoned by both sides. Tho
crimo for which Keating is now doing
time was committed on tho night of
December 4, 1901, and nt first no duo
to the guilty party was obtainable.
County Attorney Ovorman took up the
caso and after a thorough investiga
tion succeeded in securing tho arrest
of Keating at his home in Dakota
county, this state, a fow days after the
crimo bad been committed. Tho task
of fastening tbo folory upon Keating
was a difficult one, and Prosecuting
Attorney Ovorman dosorvos much
credit for tho able manner in which
tho caso was conducted, ho having
succeeded in socuring over fifty wit
nesses for the stato when the case
finally camo to trial.
Attorney John G. Potter, who con.
ducted the defense, mado a hard fight
for his client and bandied his side of
tho caso in an nble manner, but tho
groat mass of testimony introduced by
the prosecution could not bo overcotao
and Keating will have to pay tho pen
alty for his crime.
tho only positive cure now known to
tho medical fraternity. Catarrh, being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly on tho blood an mucous sur
faces of tho system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giv
ing tho patient strength by building up
tho constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. Tho proprietors havo
so much faith in its curativo powers,
that they offer ono hundred dollars for

Time seems
most untimely
when he brings
a woman to the turn
of life. Life is or
should be at Ha
ripest and best for
her, and she en
croaches this chanirc
with a dread of its effect born of her
knowledge of the sufferings of other
women at this season.
There is not the slightest cause for
fear or anxiety at this period if Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is used.
It gives health of body and cheerfulness
of mind, and by its aid the pains and
pangs of this critical period are pre
vented, or cured.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
woman's medicine with a wonderful
record of cures of womanly diseases.
Diseases that all other medicines bad
failed to cure, have been perfectly and
permanently cured by the use of "Fa
vorite Prescription."
