factions of the Bald Knobber organization.Amanknownas "Doc Potters was arrested

at Cassville as a Bald Knobber. and tho ar

Potters is known to be one of the leaders ofa band who have stolen during the past yearmore than two thousand cattle off the rangein Ozark, Christian and Tauey counties.One of these factions claims that the other

has been revealing the secrets of the order,nnd already more than one member has beenmurdered "for giving information to the au¬

thorities, and more killings are daily lookedfor. Both sides are well armed, and if an

open war should take place great loss of lifeis apprehended.

Ho wanted to die sober, and so Horefused the win-. But afterward they go ton clip of vinegar and soak a sponge in it, amiput it on a stick of hyssop, nnd then press itagainst ihe hot lips of Christ. You sayIhe wine was an anaesthetic, and intendedto relieve or deadeuthe pain. But tho vine¬gar was an insult. 1 am disposed to ndopttho theory of the old Englisu commentator,who be'ieved that instead of its being nn ,

opiate ;o soothe, it was vinegar to insult.Malaga and Burgundy for grand dukes amiduchesses, and costly wines from royal vatsfor bloated imperials; but stinging acids fora dying Christ. He took the vinegar.In some lives the saccharine seems to pre¬

It is al stir. I to suppose thata man who hasalways beon well con sympathise with t-lio-owho are sick: or that ono who has alwaysbeen honored can appreciate the sorrow oftho.se who aro despised; or that one who hasbeen born to a goeat fortune can understandthe distress and the straits of those who aredestitute. The fact that Christ Himself,took the vinegar, makes Hun able to sym¬pathize to-day and forever with all thosewhose cup is tilled with sharp acids of thislife. He took tho vinegar.

In the fust place, there is the sourness ofbetrayal. The treachery of Judas hurtChrist's feelings more than all the friendshipof His disciples did Him good. You have,had many friends; but thero was ono friendupon whom you put especial stress. Youfeasted him. You loaned him money. Youbefriended him iiithodark passes of life,whenhe especially neoteo. n in au. Afterward.hoturned upon you, and ho took nuv.ntage olyour farmer intiin.-ioios. How: .0.i..vou. He talked against you. Ke microscopized your faults. He flung contempt at youwhen you ought to have received nothing butgratitude. At lirst. you could not sleep alSlights. Then you went about with a sense of

having been stung. That difficulty willnever be healed, for though mutual friendsmay arbitrate in the matter until you shallshake hands, the o'd cordiality will never

come back. Now, I commend to all such thesympathy of a betrayed Christ, Why. theytold Him for less than our twenty dollars!They a 1 forsook Him, and fled. They cutHim to tho quick. He drank that cup of be-trayal to the dregs. He took the vinegar.There is also the sourness of pain. '1 hero

Not a nerve,>r muscle, or ligament escaped. All thejaugs of all the nations of all the ages com jtressed into one sour cup. He took the vine;ar! 1There is also tho SOU111038of poverty. Youi

OliverSoldsmith sold his "Vicar of Wake-leid" lor a few pounds in order to¦seaji the bailill out of tho door; an 1 the vastnajority of men in all occupations and pro-Tossionsare not fully paid far their w.irk.You may say nothing, but life to you is alard push; and when you sit down with yourwife an 1 talk over tho expenses you both risevi discouraged You abridge here, androu abridge there, and you get thingsmug for smooth sailings, and lo! suddenly'.here is a largo doctor's bill to pay, or youhave lost your pocket book, or some creditorlias failed, and you are thrown a-beam oni.Well, brother, you arc in glorious company.Christ owned not the house iu which hostopped, or tho colt on which lie rode, or tinboat in which ho sailed. He lived in a

borrowed house: He was buried in a bor-rowed grave. Exposed to all kinds ofweather, yet He had only one suit of clothes.He breakfasted in tho morning, and no one?ould possibiy tell where Ho could get any-thing to eat before night. He wouldhave been pronounced a financial fail-lira Ho had to perform a miracleto get money to pay a tax-bill.Xot a d liar did Ho own. Privation ofdomesticity: privation of nutritious food;privation of a comfortable couch on whichto sleep; privation of all worldly resources.

The kings of tho earth had chased chalices>ut 6? which to-Irin':; but Christ had noth-!ng but a plain cup set befor . Him. and itwas very sharp, and it was very sour. HeKoo't the vinegar.There also is the sourness oJ lioroavemeut.

'i here was a vessel that had been tossed on

the seas for a great many weeks, and beeildisabled, aud the supply.of water gave out,and the crew woro dying of thirst. Aftermmy days, they saw a sail against the sky.They signaled it. When tho vessel came

nearer, the people on the suffering ship criodto tho captain of the other vessel: "'Sendu< some water. We are living for lack ofwater."' And the captain on tho vessel thatwas hailed responded: ''Hip your bucketswhere you are. You are in the mouth of theAmazon, and there are scores of miles of freshwater all around about you. ami hundredsof feet deep.'' And then they dropped theirbuckets over the side of tho vessel, nndbrought up the clear, bright, fresh water,aud put out the lire of their thirst. Ho 1 bailyou to-day. after a long and perilous voyage,thirsting as you aro for pardon,and thirsting for comfort, and thirstingfor eternal life; and I ask you what is the use

of your going in that death-struck state,while all around yon is tho deep, clear, wide,sparkling lioo-.l of (tod's sympathetic mercy,(j. dip your buckets, anddrink, and live forever. "Whosoever will, let him come andtake of tho water of life freely."'Vet my utterance is almost choked at the

thought that there are people here who willrefuse this divine sympathy: mi l they willtry to light their own battles, aud drinktheir own vinegar, and carry their own

burdens: and their life, instead of beingn triumphal march from victory to victorywill be n.hobblinit-on from defeat to defeat,until they make final surrender to retributivedisaster. <. 1 wish 1 could to-day gather upmy arms all lbs w oes of men and women-

But no.There urerome, 1 fear, in this an-lience whourn away from this offered mercy, and com¬

SUICIDE FROM SYMPATHY.

A Friend of a Self- lain Girl Drowns

Herself in the Presence of a

Crowd.

A crowd of several hundred people wero

on Hardy's dock, Norfolk, Vn., when tho

body of Cora Cherry, who .had committedsuicide, was picked up in tho harbor and

brought ashore. Sullie Moore, a young giilwho was a friend of the suicide, was so af¬fected that she walked out to the end of thopier and. taking off herhatand wraps, threwthem aside, and with a shriek plunged over¬board and was drowned in the presence ofthe hundreds of people on tho wharf, whow re so shocked as to be unable to renderany assistance.

WRECK OF A CIRCUS iRMN.

Tho rear one, of two sections of Fore-

paugh's Circus transportation train, boundfor Newport, R. I, was wrecked south ofth." dark tunnel near Fall River, Mass. Itconsisted of the stable und sleeping cars andcage slats, and jumped a s;dit swith at thosouth end of the tunnel. The third car leftthe true'-, derailing the three following cars,which piled on top of one another in greatconfusion. Three mm wero in the ibird car,two of whom, Frank-Fagan, oi New Britain,Conn., and John Wood, of Boston, were in¬jured.

"Dandy,"' a trick horse, was killed. Astallion formerly owned by Robert Stickney,the bare-back "rider, and%a racing mare,were 60 badly hurt that they were shot.

RATTLESNAKES.Many Tho«sunds"of Tlioin In tho Smlfhson-

Jan Institution.The statement that thirty or fortythousand reptiles nro kept in one room

at tho Smithsonian sends chills clownthe backs of nervous people, says theWashington Star. So many snakes,lizards and toads let loose on thosmooth lawn of the park would causoeomo excitement. However, only fivoof all these reptiles have any life inthem. Those live aro rattlers, whicharo kept in a deep box with a wire top,and a vigorous poking and panellingstarts the music in their tails. Whentho live are sounding their rattles to¬gether they fill the box with nerve-

shocking sounds. The other yj.O'JS, or

forty thousand minus fivo (as the exactnumber may be), aro securely corkedin glass jars in alcohol und arranged onshelves like cans of preserves.Tho curator of reptiles, who is ex¬

perimenting in search of an antidotefor tho poison of u reptile's bite, told aStar reporter recently that it was nottrue that they hud yet discovered any¬thing that they knew certainly to beau antidote. Par from having satisfac¬torily concluded their experiments,they consider that thuy have practical¬ly just begun. They havo tried everyalleged antidote that has been suggest¬ed with the least probability of success,nnd the only thing they have found thathas succeeded in any degree is fluid(extract jaborandi, which is made fromthe South- American plant pilocarpuspennutifolius. Tho active alkaloid ofthis is piloenrpino. This has proved tobe nn antidote in the case of rabbitssubjected to the rattlesnake poison.Where tho snake poison has been in¬jected into the rabbit, followed at onceor within a short time by an injectionsf this drug, tho animal has recovered.But it has been found to possess no

ellicacy as nn antidote in the easo of achicken poisoned by the venom of thorattler. A full application of the drughas never yet resulted in saving tjiochicken's lifo. They intend to try iton turkeys and pigs.The story that ono of the assistants

had been bitten by a rattier and thatthe "antidote" had beeu applied withsuccess the curator pronounces utterlyfalse. He says that no one hns beenbitten by the reptiles; that ns a factthey are in such a sluggish state it isJiflicult to get them to strike, at any¬thing. The only informal ion he has ofjaborandi having been used successful¬ly to counteract the cU'ects of a snakobite comes from a physician iu France,ivho administered internally a draughti( tea made from tho jüunt to n girlivho was bitten by a viper, and sho re-jovered from the poison.

Woman ns a ltcrornier.She extirpates vice by supplanting it

with virtue. She uses tact, and has lit¬tle faith in main strength ami awkward¬ness. She believes more in a mustardseed of good influence than in a wholebattery of violence. Hhe has tho powerof patience and bides her time; is notdisheartened because the hour is not yetcome, but sees the promise afar oil*, andreads the large hope of her heart intoall the future. Like Napoleon's stub¬born enemies, she never knows whenshe is beaten. There is no evil whichshe thinks must needs be, and she as

lirmly believes that this world is re¬

deemable as that it has a Redeemer.Perhaps the most notable feature of

woman's work ns a reformer is her sys¬tematic method. This is what was leastexpected. Put it is hardly too much tosay that her great temperance move¬ment is the best controlled and mostsystematic effort at reform that the worldu>m yet seen. The agencies which havebeen organized, the forces which haveween laid between this movement andtho i-u.. o* legislation, tiie platform,the press, lie tpacnen, and text-booksof the pubbc schools, the home and thepraying circle, the ». ,., ,

formative/processes, the minute atten¬tion to details and the comprehensiveplans, wile us the world, all show con¬

summate! generalship. And it. may alsobo said'that this and other reformmovements, and the great missionaryenterprises, are bringing into view a

more notable class of women than hasever before crowned the generations.The masterly management, the elo¬quence, earnestness, faith and poweiwhich tley have brought to their work,mark a row era in the history of reform.But history does sometimes repeat

itself, UK* the circular tendency olthis movement will be to come aroundagain to the old pagan notion, thatwoman can only realize her full poweiby si raining after the masculine type,and putting ou man's armor and usingman's weapons. Bnther influence andsuccess ns a reformer depend as muchupon her loyalty to her womanhood ao

upon a free field of action. And if shecontinues both reformer and woman, thisworld will soon be a far better worldthan ithasoveryetbeen..J". A. Adams,hi Advance.

Dignified.From an awkward situation, it is us¬

ually the good-natured man who "coniesout ahead." An equable and placid de¬meanor is always compatible with dig¬nity. The New York Tribune tells the

following story of A'gostina Depretis,the late premier of Italy, who was ad¬dicted to loud snoring.He once lodged at Casalc, at a second

rate inn, in a room ucxt that of an ex-ofiieial, who had gone there for the purposeof applying for employment.Being disturbed during the night by

tho loud snoring of his neighbor, thisman threw his boots at the wall, andthen proceeded to complain in ratherinsolent terms, loud enough to penetrateinto the. next room. Signor Depretisapologized, and, in order to be no lon¬

ger a disturbance, lighted his candleand began to read a book. The nextmorning the minister sent a waiter tomake his excuses to his neighbor."Who is the beast V" asked the ex-offi¬

cial."The 'beast' is the minister, Signoi

Depretis," replied the waiter;The poor ex-oflicial almost had an

apoplectic fit. He, in turn, sent innum¬erable excuses 'o Signor Depretis, whoreceived him afterward, told him thathe should bo employed as he desired,"more especially," he continued, "be¬cause last night you cause d me to readan interesting book that I had never

found time to"look into before."

Tlio only medicine for woman's peculiar nilmenfs, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manufacturers,

that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will bo refunded, is Dn. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This guarantee bus

THE OTTGEOWTH OF A VAST WZFEBIWZOm.The treatment, of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to fcmnlcs, at the

Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing

remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.

Dr. Picrce's Favor¬ite Prescription is theoutgrowth, or result, ofthis great und valuableexperience. Thousandsof testimonials, received

from patients and from physicians whohave tested it in the more aggravated nndobstinate cases which' had balllcd their skill,prove it to be the most wonderful remedy-ever devised for the reiief and euro of suf¬fering women. It is not recommended r&

a "cure-all," but as a most perfect Specificfor womau'8 peculiar diseases.

An a powerful. in¬vigorating tonic, itimparts strength to the

Their combined use also removesblood taints, and abolishes cancerous andscrofulous humors from the system.

Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, nnotber from heart disease,

another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaust ion, or prostration, another with pain here or there, and in this way

they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diaeuses, for which

he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to bo such, when, in reality, they ore all only symptoms caused bv some womb

disorder. The physician, ignorant, of the cause of suffering; encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering

patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper

medicine, like Dh. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed t<> the came, would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dis¬

pelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

. Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of JS'o. 71 Lexington St.3 PHVSIRIAHSi East »«to«i Mass., says: "Five years asro I*0 MiiwiuMuws wasa dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles.

»All C|] I Having exhausted the skill of three physi¬cians, I was completely discouraged, and soweak I could with difficulty cross the room

JScb.. writes: " Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Iia3 done me a

Doctors Failed.-Mra. F. Corwin, of Past Creek. N. F.,writes: "I doctored with three or four of the best doctors inthese parts, and T grew worse until T wrote to yon nnd beganusing ri ir 'Favorite Prescription.' T used throe bottles of it

Mrs. Ed. M. Campbell, of Oakland, Cali¬fornia, writes: "I had been troubled allmy life with hysterical attacks and par¬oxysms, or spasms, arid periodical recur¬

rences of severe headache, but since I havebeen using your ' Favorite Prescription' I

have had none of these. I also hud womb complaint so bad that

I could not walk two blocks without the most severe pain, but

before I had taken your 'Favorite Prescription' two months, I

could walk all over the city without inconvenience. All my
