PINKKAM MBDICIMB CO" Verily truth is stranger than Actio*, for it is doubtful if in the weirdest ro­ mance a more daring and ingenious Dick Turpin has ever been portrayed than is the Spanish bandit Norel, whom the police have long been trying to capture, and who is now said to be once more in his old haunts in Al­ geria. One day last June Norel, who was then in Algeria, quarreled with one of his countrymen named Linares, and promptly assassinated him. The police were quickly *&n his track, but he easily evaded them, and nothing was heard of him until August 31. when he appeared at Marengo. Again the police came on him and again he escaped, after severely wounding two of his opponents. Soon afterward he was seen at Cherchell and at Oran, and each time notice was sent to the authorities, as he is an outlaw on whose head a price has been set, but though they tried hard to capture him their efforts were fruitless. He next appeared at Alicante, hav­ ing gone there for the purpose of get­ ting some money from his brother, whose home is ip that town. When he told why he had come his brother refused to give him any money, where upon the bandit beat him almost to death and then ransacked his house of all its valuables. Norel has already assassinated seventeen persons and, has been condemned to death on three occasions. He escaped from prison some time ago In very clever fashion. First he murdered the sentinel who was on guard near his cell. Then he burned the dead man's face so that no one would recognize it, and finally, he put his own clothes on his victim's TWENTY DOLLARS m OA »• THK AMOUNT 94U VOU SAVE ON A SPLIT HICKORY BU6GY We manufacture a full line of Vehicles and Harness and sell them direct to the users at the same prices other manufacturers charge dealers.

When the body was found everybody felt sure that it was Norei's, and when the sentinel did not appear at midday meal some of his companions remembered that they had seen a soldier very like him hurrying away from the prison Sin hour or two before, and they concluded that lie had deserted. Yet this soldier was no other than Norel. On another occasion the bandit, after being condemned to death in Spain, wa3 placed, according to the usual custom, in the prison chapel during the evening before the execution, and when night came he expressed a desire to see a priest His request was granted, and when the priest came Norel went with him into a dark corner of the chapel, with the avowed object of making a confession. As the priest, however, bent down to hear him the assassin snatched from his hands the heavy crucifix, and rais­ ing it in the air brought it down with such force on his skull that the un­ fortunate man was felled lifeless to the ground. The soldiers on guard heard the, body fall, but they paid no attention to it, and when a man wearing the vestments of a priest came toward them from the gloom and, after blessing them, passed through the heavy gate of the prison they never suspected that it was the notorious murderer, who had thus once more escaped the clutches of the law. The police of Algiers are not lacking in alertness or zeal, yet in view of Norei's amazing record there are many who think that he will easily evade them, just as he has already so many times evaded the police of Spain.--San Fran­ cisco Bulletin.

Here is the opinion of the corre­ spondent of the Times of India on the American soldier as a fighting man: "I think If there had been no fight- tag all the foreign observers would have gone back to their homes with a very poor opinion of the efficiency of the American troops. Luckily for General Chaffee and his soldiers there was fighting. When yon see an Ameri­ can private advancing under fire you begin to think there is something in the idea that the fighting unit of the future is the individual. Private Silas P. Holt acts by himself for himself. He and his companions make for a com­ mon objective, not like stiff, trained soldiers, but like panthers stalking a prey. Their eyes flash, their lithe bodies swing forward. There are mur­ der and deadly IntentnesB in every movement. When the American sol­ dier lies down to fire, he does so with the Intention of killing somebody. Most troops fire not at the enemy, but in the direction of the enemy. Not so the American. "But allied to their feline stealthl* ness the Americans in battle have a most reckless courage. At times they expose themselves with a strange con* tempt for death. An officer will taks chances no European would e*re take. The field battery was generally to be found in places where nobody read in tactics would have dared to put it. General Chaffee and his staff always rode where the enemy was most likely to see and shoot at them. Young and inexperienced correspond­ ents were warned by older hands not to go during action near prominent build­ ings, large graves or the American staff." LIKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip bacilluB has passed over our coun­try, from the Atlantic to the Pa­ cific. leaving behind it a dirk cloud of anguish and despair. Catarrh fbllows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims will spring up In the trail of the awful epi­ demic of grip that has just passed over our fair country. The hope to these people is Peruna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fail to take a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the disease and leaves the system In a normal condition. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congress­ man from Illinois, writes from the Na­ tional Hotel, Washington, D. C., as follows: "After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with coughs, colds, la grippe and all catarrhal com­ plaints."--J. B. Crowley. Hon. George H. White, Congressman from North Carolina, writes: "I am more than satisfied with Pe­ runa, and find it to be an excellent remedy for the grip and catarrh. I have used it in my family, and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent remedy."--George H. White. Hon. J. P. Megrew, Superintendent U. S. Capital Police Force, of Wash­ ington, D. C., says: "Having suffered from the grip, I was advised by a friend to Use your Peruna. I also used it for my catarrh, and I can now cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone who is suffer­ ing from Jthe grip and catarrh."--J. P. Megrew. Miss Anna Russell, Past Worthy Counselor, Loyal Mystic Legion, 293 Endicott Bldg., St. Paul, Minn., writes: "For years I have unfortunately found my system in a peculiarly recep­ tive condition for catarrh when I was exposed in any way to inclement weather. At those times I would be severely afflicted with la grippe and its unpleasant consequences. "Now for the past year and a half I have used Peruna in such cases and have found that it not only cures me quickly, but it also cleanses my blood and renders me less liable to catch cold. It is the finest preventative of colds that I know of and a very su- perlor tonic."--Anna Russell, y Miss Alice Dressier, 1313 North Bry­ ant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes: "Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured, but the bad after-effects remained through ; the summer, and somehow I did not get strong as I was before. In the fall I caught a cold after getting my feet wet and attending a lecture in a cold hall, and I suffered a relapse. An mi- pleasant catarrh of the head and throat followed, and as I was in &» weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break. s» down completely. "One of my college friends who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna, and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health, built up the entire sys­ tem, and brought a happy feeling Of buoyancy which I had not knows for years."--Miss Alice Dressier. if you do not derive prompt atyd sat­ isfactory results from the use of Pe­ runa, write at once to Dr. Hsrtutan, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you Ills > valuable advice gratis.

It was officially estimated to be over 795,000 at the close of 1899 and the Increase Is calculated to be close to 30,000 a year. Therefore, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia are the only cities in the United States which sur­ pass the Argentine metropolis in the number of inhabitants. There are only about ten cities inhabited by white men in all the world which are bigger. Size is not the only notable form of development. The revenue of the city is about 18,000,000 a year in gold. Its streets and parks are lighted by more than 13,000 gas jets, over 8,000 lamps and about 1,250 are lights, the latter of 1,000 to 2,000 candle power apiece. There are fifteen theaters -or similar places of public amusement and they have about 1,600,000 spectators every year. The street railways carry 116,- 000,000 passengers annually, which means some $5,000,000 income. It is one of the most cosmopolitan of all the earth's centers. Besides the underlying and still dominant Spanish element which used to have the Argen­ tine in exclusive possession, there Is a large Italian population,fast increasing, an£ the Germans, English, French, Irish, Welsh, Portuguese, Chilians, Poles, Russians, Swiss and other na­ tionalities are well represented in the Argentine Republic, and, to some ex­ tent, in its capital.

Before the revolution many of them bore such loyal sym­ bols and mottoes as were popular in England: the "British Lion," the "King's Head," the "King's Arms," the "Rose and Crown," "St. George and the Dragon," and others. The Declar­ ation of Independence wrought an abrupt transformation. Such unpopu­ lar signs were hastily altered or re­ placed. In Philadelphia the landlord of the "Three Crowns," who neglected to modify the obtrusive royalty of his sign-board, was promptly reminded of his duty by having it shot full of bul­ let holes. His fellow citizen, the host of the "Golden Lion," was more dis­ creet To be sure, he allowed the fami­ liar animal to remain, rearing herald- lcally upon its hind legs as usual, in tawny spiff r; or before his door, yet with a diffeioice. The lettering was changed, and a new label proclaimed it to be no longer the king of beasts--it had become the "Yellow Cat." Of course the revolutionary heroes rapidly attained signboard popularity. Lafay­ ette, Franklin,John Hancock flourished abundantly in flaring colors.

"Sons of Liiberty" or "Thirteen States" bore him patriotic company. The inviting circular of one Washington inn ran thus: "Ye good and virtuous Americans -- come! whether business or pleasure be your object--call and be refreshed at the sign of Washington. Here money and merit will secure you respect and honor and a hearty welcome to sump­ tuous fare. Is it cold? You shall find a comfortable fire. Is It warm? Sweet repose under a cool and grassy shade. In short, every exertion shall be made to grace the sign of the hero and statesman who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts Of his countrymen."
