Opinions Concerning the O'Brien Now Un-

LONDON, Marchi29.——Several of the au-
thorities of Scotland Yard were seen 'by a
representative of the press today in refer-
ence to the arrest of an American named
O’Brien in Paris yesterday. after he had
shot another American named Wedcl,
Waddell or Read at the Northern railroad
station. The de-
tectives have very
little doubt but
that O’Brien is
the notorious bun-

er he had been allowed to leave a steamer
at Southampton, owing to the fact that a
messenger from the United States embassy
thought he did not resemble the man who
had escaped from America. Eventually
O’Brien was extradited to the United
States, but escaped and fled to Havre.
where he was again arrested, but once
more managed to escape and went to Lis-
bon, From that port he sailed for Bucnoe
Ayres under the name of Corbett. Upon
the declaration in the case of Jabez S.
Balfour. the fugitive ear-member of the
British parliament. who is wanted in Eng-
land in connection with the fraudulent
transactions charged against certain com-
panies known as the “Balfour” group,
that the extradition treaty with Great
Britain was retroactive, O’Brien fled from
Buenos Ayrc's.
It was rumored here that O’Brien had
been offered a free pardon by the New
York state authorities if he would return
and testify before the Lexow committee
during their probing of the New York po-
lice department.
A PLUGKI (TEIEL CLERK.
By Her liravsry She Saved the Life of Her
limplc-gc“ l'ublisher lllcConuell.
New YORK, March 9.—That D. H. Mo:
Connell, president of the Union Publish—
ing House of 15 Chambers street, was not
burned to death or blinded and horribly
disfigured for life today is wholly due to
the promptncss and bravery of his young
woman clerk, Miss'Josie Sawyer; and L.
J. Miles, who is also employed in the office.
A; it. is. Mr. McConnell was sent to' the
Hudson Street House of Belief, his hair
and mustache badly singed, his hands
fearfully blistered and his face scorched.
Mr. McConnell was using some alcohol
for cleaning purposes in the rear of his
office. Miss Sawyer was assisting him.
J us‘ how Mr. McConnell cannot now tell.
but the recepfaclc containing the liquid
slipped from his hand and fell to the floor.
The vessel was smashed into fragments,
and the alcohol was scattered over Mr.
McConnell’s clothing.
There was a lighted gas jet just over
Mr. McConnell’s head. The fumes from
the liquid instantly ignited, ' and the
flames communicated to Mr. McConnell’s
saturated clothing. The next instant ho
was ablaze from the waist up and was
fighting for his life. Miss Sawyer scream-
ed for assistance.
Mr. McConnell throw off his coat, but
his hair was blazing and' so was his shirt
about the shoulders. ,
Miss Sawyer tore off her apron and
threw it around Mr. McConnell’s head,
smothering the flames.
Mr. Miles, in the front office, had heard
Miss Sawycr’s cries and rushed in at this
juncture. He took the apron from the
trembling girl’s hands and smothered the
remainder of the blaze.
.At that time it was thought that the
flames had not cononunicated to the wood-
work, but some of the ignited alcohol had
caked through the crevices in the floor,
and the timbers between the floor and the
ceiling below were on fire.
0. E. McBride, another employee, rush-
ed to the street and turned in an alarm,
to which thd firemen responded promptly.
After tearing up at least 20 square feet
of flooring the fire was put out.

SOME GOOD AND N‘ECESSARY‘AD-
VICE AT THIS SEASON. «
There are Somethings We Must
Surely Do.
And This Thing is by Far the Most
Important of Them All.
Everybody needs a spring medicine
—a remedy which will strengthen and
invigorate the system, and tone up the
action of all the omens. The change
from cold to warm weather causes a
in weakened nerves, impure blood, and
inactive organs. /
Our esteemed correspondent, Mrs. A”
S. Gould, writesgus from Garland, Mo.,
some facts in r gard to this subject
which will be of great interest and
value just at this season:
“Through the loss of my mother, the
sickness of my husband, and the extra
work which fell upon me, I was thrown
into a condition of nervous and phylu-
cal exhaustion. I grew constantly
worse. I cannot find words to express
that terrible feeling that existed through
my whole avstem—a feeling of utter
weakness and nrostration, with strange
ervous sensations. , .
“My right foot was so bad it was
with great dilficultyI could walk. I
had'to place my foot every way to keep
from falling My hands and arms were
weak, numb and prickly. I was very
tired all the time. There was a heavy
dull feeling in my limbs. Nights thev
seemed like lead weights. When out
riding a mile dist mce they would feel
as though Iliad lost the use of them.
I would move my fingers and arms to
see if I could. I expected any (luv to
be found. paralyzed.
“‘l‘hen I began to take Dr. Greene’s
Nervura - blood and nerve remedy
The first bottle did not seem to help}
me much, but the Second bottle did.
and made me better. I kepton usmg it.
mus. A. s. GOULD.
“New I am feeling well, can do all
my work and sleep well nights. I feel
as though a. great burden had been
rolled away from me. .I' am doing a
great amount of work every day and
often walk, besides, as much as two
miles.
“I think I will pass for a smart
old lady, so much for Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy! I
can truly sav it has done wonders for
me. I cannot speak too much in praise
of it. for it has 1)le the greatest bles-
sing to me.
.“I only wish other people afflicted
With disease would trv it—Inot one
bottle, but several, in order to give 1" c
fair trial. I truly think they Would
never be sorry. My earnest prover
is that this wonderful remedy may go
out. in to the wide world to sick and
suffering humanity.”
If you want to be perfectly strong
and healthy, the best possible thing to
do is to take this great cuter ~and
slreugt-heuer. You can be cured quick-
er in the Spring than at any other sea-
son. You must take a spring medicine,
everyone knows that, and Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the
best and most certain, because it always
cures.
It isuotapatent medicine, but the
prescription of the most, successful liv-
ing specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35
West 14th St., New York City. He has
the largest practice in the world, and
this grand medical discovery is the re-
sultlof his vast experience. The great
reputatiOn of Dr. Greene, is a guaran-
tee, that his medicine will cure, and the
fact that he can be consulted by anyone
at any time, free of charge, personally
or by letter, gives absolute assurance
of the beneficial action of this wonder-
ful medicine.

BISMARCK, Mo., March Ell—Train 54,
which left Poplar Bluff at 10:35 o’clock,
was held up at Williamsville, ,a station
abOut 20 miles north of Poplar Blufi‘, at
11:30. The train was in charge of James
V. Webb, conductor, and William Mattis.
engineer. As the train near Jd' a lonely
spot a short distance north .of Williams-
ville some one pulled the bell rope, and the
train came to a halt. . Two men, one of
whom had a red handkerchief over his
face,_and the other a mask .of Some black
material. forced ' the porter, at the point
of a revolver, to uncouple the engine and
mail and express cars'from the train and
made the engineer run a short distance up
the track with them. The robbers then
proceeded to the express car and ordered
the messenger to open the safe.
“We are desperate, you —— I” said the
leader, a. man about 6 feet in height.
The messenger informed the desperadoes
that he could not open the through Safe.
as he did not have the combination. He
opened the local safe, but there was no
money in it.
In the meantime an alarm had been
given, and the residents of Williamsvillo
were arming themselves. The robbers, be-
coming frightencd, jumped from the train
and ran into the woods. Before leaving,
however, they secured the conductor’s gold
Watch.
It is thought the work was done by men
living in the locality. Sheriff Hogo is
scouringthe country for the robbers, and
they will probably be captured.
The train is known as the California ex-
press and is due in St. Louis at 6 o’clock.
It consisted of baggage. mail and express

point at which the attempt was made is
known as Honk road crossing, and the

The old-time visionary inventor' has
given place to the practical. hard work-
ing professional inventor of to-day.
The successful inventor must now be
a business man as well as a man of
mechanical ideas.
The high tension of the nervous sys-
tem, often kept up for months and
months, makes tremendous drafts on
the health of those busy brain workers.
Many succumb to nervous prostration
when they seem just on the point of
surmounting every difficulty.
Of all the countless recent useful in-
ventions none has passed through so
many or so rapid a course of improve-
ments as the ftypewriter. To-day the
latest perfected machine is undoubtedly
the Williams Typewriter, which repre-
sents a vast amount of cumulative in-
vention.
John Newton Williams, its inventor,
was born in 1845, in Brooklyn, N. Y.
He spent his early manhood on the
western frontier. Subsequently he set.“

known as one of the most successful
stock breeders in the state.
But it is as an inventor that he has
won his national reputation. Several
most useful and important inventions
were made by him before he produced
the Williams typewriter, a machine that
probably excels all others in the most
important features. _
Mr. Williams, speaking of the labor
expended in bringing the machine that
bears his name to its present perfection,
says:
“Some four years ago, when engaged
in experimental work on the Williams’,
Itwas putting in about 16 hours per
day of hard work and worry, and came
near breaking down. Although very
particular and regular in my habits
and careful about eating. my Stomach
troubled me. It was difficult to eat,
and more difficult to digest and assimi-
late my food, my stomach acting in
sympathy with an over-worked brain.
A friend had sent some Paine’s celery
compound to one of my business associ-

ates, and knowing him personally, and
seeing what it did for him, I thought I
would try it. I commenced taking it
before meals, and it at once stimulated
my appetite and aided digestion. I
took two bottles and was much bene-
fitted.
f‘Again two years later I was troubled
With nervousness and indigestion, and
again took Paine’s celery compound
with great benefit. My wife, after her
long illness last summer, and severe
nervous prostration, and some trouble
from indigestion, concluded to try
Pame’s celery compound, a few weeks
ago, and she is now taking it with steady
improvement. Several of my friends
have taken it on my recommendation,
and are now practical believers in its
great restorative powers. I have found
the celery compound atonic and re-
storative that I could lean upon with ,
confidence in time of trouble.”
Pame’s celery compound makes peo-
ple well ! As a spring remedy it is un-
surpassed. ‘
