    Seven Hundred Years of Coal.
According to the most authentic his
tory of the coal trade , last year mark
ed the seven hundredth anniversary
of the use of coal as fuel. Taking the
most moderate estimate of the antiq
uity of man , and considering the fact
that the coal was always here , it ap
pears that we were a long time In
availing ourselves of this most valua
ble asset which nature placed at our
disposal. Many civilizations flour
ished and died out without its use , and
It may be said that its potentialities ,
as a factor In the progress of man
kind , were never realized fully until
the present century. Up to its dawn ,
aside from the warming of the body
and the cooking of food , little import
ance was attached to the fuel question.
For these purposes a few fagots or
billets of wood sufficed. But in time
we discovered that in the fire there
was a giant a thousand times more
powerful than the fabled monsters ol
antiquity.
s The debilitating- drains and
a discharges vrhich weaken so
li ! many women are caused by Ca
tarrh of the distinctly feminine
organs. The sufferer may call
her trouble Leuchorrhoea , or
Weaknessor Female Disease or
some other name , but the real
trouble is catarrh of the female
organs and nothing else.
Pe-ru-na radically and perma
nently cures this and all othei
forms of Catarrh. It is a positive
specific for female troubles
caused by catarrh of the delicate
lining of the organs peculiar to
women. It always cures if used
persistently. It is prompt and
certain.
The microbes that cause chills and
fever and malaria enter the system
through mucous membranes made
porous by catarrh. Pe-ru-na heals the
mucous membranes and prevents the
entrance of malarial germs , thus pre
venting and curing these affections.

NEWS OF THE WEEK INA CON
DENSED FORM.
Shooting of Sheriff Farris in Sauii-
ders County Has Occasioned Con
siderable Excitement in that Part
of the State Other Items.
Story of the Farris Shooting.
The shooting of Sheriff Farris of Saunders -
ders County by Johnson last week has cre
ated considerable excitement in the north
ern part of the county , the feeling being
intensely bitter against Johnson. Threats
of lynching were freely uttered , and had
he been captured on the day of the shoot
ing he might have been roughly dealt with ,
although it is thought that Farris will re
cover. The sheriff went to Johnson's place ,
nine miles south of Fremont , to serve some
papers. Johnson at once became very
angry and the two men had some hot
words in regard to the papers. Johnson
ordered Farris off the premises and the
sheriff was in the act of leaving when
Johnson shot him.
A Wahoo dispatch gives another version
of the affair : Sheriff Farris , who was shot
by Johnson seven miles west of Mead is
improving slowly. One story of the shoot
ing is that Farris as sheriff went to John
son's farm to levy upon it. He and John
son had no quarrel. The sheriff went to
Johnson's house , stated his business , and
Mrs. Johnson ordered him off the place
and Johnson gave him five minutes to
leave. The sheriff replied he would go in
less time and started for his team. When
about twenty-five yards from the liouse
Johnson , it is said , reached behind the
door , drew out a shotgun and fired upon
the sheriff. Then the sheriff fired at John
son twice with his revolver. Johnsoi
dodged behind a fence and the shot missec
him. Then , resting his gun upon the
fence , Johnson fired again , striking the
sheriff in the face , breast and shoulders
The slicnff got into his buggy and drove
to Mead. A posse was organized to cap
ture Johnson , but when it arrived Johnson
had fled. Later it was learned that he had
been captured by officers at Ashland. No
violence is apprehendedunloss the sheriff's
wounds should become worse.
Some years ago Johnson told his farm to
Paul Kline for part cash and a mortgage
Johnson had the mortgage made in his
brother's name , then Attorney Detweiler
of Omaha placed an attorney's lien upon
the farm and the district court rendered a
decree of foreclosure in both cases. In the
meantime Johnson dispossessed Kline ol
the farm and now has a deed on recort
which is pronounced a forgery. The sherifl
was levying upon the farm for the broth
er's mortgage and the Detweiler claim.

LURED ON TO DEATH.
.Laura Jjee French Trusts a Man
Only to Give Up Her Iiife.
It is claimed ( hat the man at the bottom
of the mysterious death of Miss Laura Lee
French at Hastings is an insurance agent
at Omaha. Miss French left Chicago on
June 17 to go to Creighton to visit her sis
ter , Mrs. H. T. Gaesser. She stopped in I
Omaha on her way to Creighton and was
seen in company with this insurance man.
She left Creighton on Aug. 5 for Chicago
and expected to stop at Omaha and Bur
lington , Iowa. This is tlie last time her
relatives saw her alive. It seems when
she reached Omaha she was met by this
insurance man. She told him of her con
dition and a trip was arranged for her to
go to Hastings and remain there until she
was in condition to return to her relatives.
The medicine she took to reliev her is
supposed to have been doped and herjdeath
followed. The corpse has been taken to
Burlington , Iowa , and intered close by the
side of the dead girl's father , who has been
dead several years.
As yet nothing has been heard of the
man who is suspected in the case. Every
thing seems to point to the fact that the
girl was murdered by a cool and deliber
ate villain who had but one purpose in
view , namely , to get the girl out of the
way , as he had implicated himself in get
ting her in a delicate condition. In order
to carry out his crime he had succeeded in
getting her to take a dose of poisoned med
icine and then left her to die alone iu a
hotel and be buried in an unknown grave. .
The general opinion is that the man who
did this crime was the one who visited her
remains at the undertaker's , for as soon as
he got sight of the corpse lie gave a slight
start , his hand trembled and His eyes be
came moist. For several minutes he
stood thus looking upori the face of the
dead woman. When lie was asked if he
recognized the corpse lie refused to answer ,
but immediately made his way to the street
and then to the coroner's , where he asked
a few questions and simply said he thought
at first he recognize I the dead woman , but
was not certain. He said lie was going to j
the country and would be buck soon , but |
from that day to this lie has not been seen
nor heard from. The woman's trunk dis
appeared as mysteriously as did the
stranger , and it is said lo contain two val
uable heirlooms. The police are hard at
work upon the case and hope soon to suc
ceed in running the man in this mysterious
case to earth.

While in town he had his long black hair
and whiskers shorn , and he is a stranger
now to his most intimate friends.
Divorce to Follow an Elopement
W. A. Fitzgerald of Hastings has filed I
suit for divorce from his wife Ida , alleging I
misconduct. Mrs. Fitzgerald , who was

a year ago , and ran away this summer
with Dr. Rea , who spent several weeks in

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.
A Shy Man -with a Great Deal of No
toriety.
Few writers , with the exception , per
haps , of Rudyard Kipling , carry their
dislike of notoriety to the extent that
"Uncle Remus , " Joel Chandler Harris ,
does. An affable and most genial man
ordinarily , the fact that some admirer
of his work is desirous of seeing him
produces a fit of' ' nervousness which
causes him to play hide-and-seek , and
if this fails and he is confronted the au
thor is generally found to be a much
better listener than talker. His home
in Atlanta is on the outskirts of the
town , and although a daily contributor
to the Atlanta Constitution he works
entirely at home and sees very little of
society.
Although Atlanta is visited In the
course of tne year by nearly all of the
theatrical companies , he has never been
known to go to the theater to see one ,
the only time that he will come out of
his shell being when James Whitcomb
Riley gives one of his readings.
This happened about six years ago ,
and then there was no more delighted
apprecintor in the house than "Uncle
Ilemus. " For the next five years , how
ever , he carefully avoided the theater.
When about a year ago the noosier
poet made another tour of the South ,
Frank L ] Stanton asked Mr. Harris to
accompany nim that night to the read
ing. Wnen the poet called early in the
evening to make sure that "Uncle
Remus" would be ready in time the
latter was already prepared and was
beginning to worry.
"Won't we be late ? " he asked.
"Not for several hours yet , " answer
ed Stanton.
The next diy the Georgia poet and the
Indiana poet went for a drive , and in
accordance with the former's plan stop
ped at Mr. Harris' house. Mr. Riley at
first objected to going In , on the ground
that it wasn't fair to surprise & man
in this way.
"If he knew you were coming , " re
plied Stanton , "and had waited for
you , by'this time he would have had
nervous prostration. "
As it was , "Uncle Remus" was
"caught" before he had worked up to
the proper nervous pitch , and , though
he swung his hat to and fro In a much-
abashed manner during the first few
minutes of the conversation , he and the
man he admired so much soon became
fast 3 friends , and Riley seldom visits
the South without spending some little
time 1 with Harris at Atlanta.
Mr. Harris Is a most methodical
worker ; he goes to the Constitution
office every morning at S o'clock for his
mail and papers , and remains about
half an hour , going home to work. In
addition to his newspaper labors , he Is
at present engaged on two books. Sat

Equally Great.
Two chance acquaintances on a railWay -
Way train discovered that they had
come originally from the same neigh
borhood , and fell to conversing about
old times.
"By the way , " said the passenger in
the skull-cap , "whatever became of
Harrison McPelt ? "
"He's a special writer for one of the
New York papers , " replied the passen
ger In the long linen duster , "at ten

"And his brother Alfred ? "
"Alfred is a fat man in a dime mu

"You have saved my life , snatched
me from the brink of the grave almost ,
and I "wish to thank you. About eigh
teen-months ago I was a total wreck ,
physically. I had been troubled with
leucorrhceaf or some time , but had gfiren
hardly any attention to the trouble.
" At last inflammation of the womb
and ovaries resulted and then I suf
fered agonies , had to give up nsy pro-
fesBion ( musician and piano player ) ,
was confined to my bed and life became
a terrible cross. My husband sum
moned the best physicians , but their
benefit was but temporary at best. I
believe I should have contracted the
morphine habit under their care , if my
common sense had not intervened.
" One day my husband noticed the ad
vertisement of your remedies and im
mediately bought me a full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. I am

The Teotfc. ,
Imperfect teeth are a sure sign of
civilization. Perfect teeth are found ,
as a rule , only among savages.
Big teeth and square jaAVs are al
ways found with low foreheads and
email craniuins.
Out of 100 teeth of adults that twen'
ty-five years ago would have been
ruthlessly extracted , ninety-nine are
now saved by science.
"Women dentists have ceased to at
tract attention as a novelty , there be
ing now over 400 of ! the sex engaged in
the profession.
Modern dentists can remedy crook
ed or projecting jaws by special appli
ances that gradually train the jaws
Into their normal position.
Dental science was utterly lost to
the world for 1,000 years , or during the
dark ages , and only revived in 1700.
George Washington was one of the
Grst Americans who wore false teeth ,
and two sets of them are owned in
Baltimore as valuable heirlooms. They
were indescribably clumsy. The pe
culiar expression of Washington's lips
In his portraits Is due to those teeth.
