a large wrengness. Backache is
a little thing—not a very serious ’
thing, in itself. It is often over-
looked because it is so slight-
it may comeday after day and
,not'be bad enough to cause any
anxiety. The smallest kind of
a Backache means coming ill-
ness—probably Kidney trouble.
Buker’s Kidney Pills

it will stay cured. These pills

The Father and Sister of Holmes’ Supposed
Victim to Get» Chicago.
ANDERSON, Ind. , July 31.—Petcr Ci-
, grand, father of Holmes’ supposed victim,
left for Chicago, accompanied by Phillis,
Emeline’s sister. At the Cigrand hbuse is
a trunk which was returned a day before
her announced wedding to Phelps was to
take place. The family received'a. letter,
typewritten, signed “Emma, ” saying that
she did not need the clothing and trunk
and that she hoped. that they could use
them. She said Phelps had bought her a
very large trunk and that she was to get
new clothes that afternoon.
There is little doubt that the big trunk
was the one in which her body was carried
_ out of the Holmes house. The mother said
that the clothes were not packed as if her
daughter had done the work.
Another letter from Holmes was also
found. It was written two weeks after
the first from him asking what had be-
come of Emeline. It reads:
To Mr. Peter Cigrand:
DEAR SIR—I received your letter some days
ago and called on Dr. Cigrand in regard to
the same and was pleased to learn from him
of Mrs. Phelps’ whereabouts, for it seemed
exceedingly strange until he explained mat-
ters to me that she would have neglected to
write you, and inasmuch as she was working
for us I felt in a measure responsible for her.
Kindly let me know her address upon your
receiving it, as there is a paper pertaining to
the Campbell Yates company, of which she
acted as secretary, which should be properly
signed by her. Very truly yours, '
H. H. HOLMES.
Oxford, Ind.
He never called on Dr. Cigrand. Miss
Phillis, who went to Chicago, visited .
her sister one month before her disappear-
ance. She said that she called on her of-
ten while she was at work in Holmes’ of-
fice, on the third floor of the castle. She
says that her sister pointed out one door
of the office one day and said Holmes had
told her never to go near that door. She
thought but little of it.
She never saw all olf’ghc rooms on the
floor, as she was not shamed to go back
into the building through this door. She
also remembers Pat Quinlan and says that
he came in very angry one afternoon be-.,
cause her sister had told a man Holmes
was down town. She will know him now.
Another letter from Emeline two weeks
after her wedding reads: “Why don’t you
write to me? I’m almost wild.”
There was no address and no date on it,
and it was mailed on the train. Miss Ci-
grand drew out what money she had in
the Fowler National bank at Lafayette
one week before she disappeared.
Another Holmes Canard.
LITTLE ROCK, July 31.-——A report circu-
lated under a Little Rock date connecting
Milford Cole of Baltimore with H. H.
Holmes, the insurance swindler and 3.1;
leged murderer, is declared to be untrue.
It was stated that Colo left this city for.
Fort Worth, Tex., in July, 1894, where he
met Holmes. The truth is Holmes fled
from F drt Worth in May, 1894. The con-
vict Allen made no statement connecting
Cole with Holmes.
‘ New York Republican Convention.
NEW YORK, July 31.——-Tho Republican
state committee met today, and in a ses-

evening of Sept. 16.

And His Second Letter Given "AfterHe Had Made a
Thorough Examination of the Sentinel Edition
of Britannica.
- c
We submit here Dr. I unning’s first letter to THE SENTIN EL, which is as follows :
SOUTH NORWALK, CONN., June 17, 1895.
Editor Evening Serztz'neZ:—I have examined this new edition of this most complete
and exhaustive of all Encyclopedias, and regard it as now superior to all others in cheapness
and. excellence. The new addition on American subjects thoroughly supplement this
original edition. Rev. Homer N. Dunning, D, D.
After this letter was written for the Sentinel the value of this edition of Britannica
was questloned by" published opinions. The Sentinel then supplied Dr. Dunning with a
complete set of our books. He has spent some time in ‘making a thorough examination of
the set, and we now submit the following letter from him, which is a frank expression of his
oplnron at the present time. This should satisfyihe most doubtful person, and if anything
of a damaging nature should be said in the future of the Sentinel edition of Britannica it“
should be looked upon with suspicion.
. Editor Sentinel:—At your request I have made a fuller and more careful examinan,
tron 'of this edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and I am confirmed in my former
.impressions of its qualities. I have used the eighth and ninth editions of the original for
th1rty years and of its excellence there is no question, and whatever deficiences exist between
‘ this edition and the British edition seem to me to be well supplied by the American add‘iu
trons, many of which are Wilden by men of tlzefirsz‘ authorily in their several departments. I
will add that a shadow of prejudice against this edition, which had been cast by some crit-
‘crsms I have read, has been removed by a closer examination. Anyone who acquires this -
great work which yOu are offering to your readers will find it an inexhaustible treasury of
knowledge. . "
South Norwalk, July 8, 1895; Homer N. Dunning
After receiving the above the Sentinel, for its own satisfaction, asked Dr. Dunning
the following questions:
“ Do you now consider this edition of Britannica oi' as much value as the cliginal
Ninth Edition? He replied, “ I do; and I’ve practically said S) in this letter.”
“ Do you consider a condensed encyclopedia, in any form, of more value than this ‘
new edition of Britannica to a family who owns but few books and who are unwilling or
unable to buy books on all topics?”
In, reply to this Dr. Dunning said : “ You may say that, in my opinion, the great ma-
jority of people would undoubtedly find the Encyclopedia Britannica by far the most valu-
able investment, especially if the condensed work was to cost an equal amount of money,”
