Schellack returned to the Soldiers' Home Friday night, where he will resume his former position as surgeon. His family will remain in Galena, where they purchased a residence. It is a de served compliment to Dr. Schellack that he resumes his former place at an increased salary. We welcome him back.

Dodge City Globe-Republican, A young man was before a Jop lin justice of the peace yesterday for refusing to pay a $4.50 board bill. He thought to beat his land lady by paying a prominent lawyer $10 to fight the case for him, but when the evidence was all in a de cision was rendered ordering the young man to pay the board bill and also the costs of the case, which in all amounted to $25. Moral: Pay your board and steer shy of lawyers. Herald. A newspaper tells that a good story was heard of a father and mother who were trying to find names for their twin babies, who by the way, were girls.

It was de cided that the tather must name them. After casting about and finding no names that suited him he determined to end the strain on his mind and named them Kate and Duplicate. In the course of time another pair of twins came, and they were boys. Th's was the husband's opportunity to get even, and he wanted his good wife to christen the boys. Imagine his feelings when the mother one day told him she had named them Pete and Repeat.

DEATH OF MRS. WILL ORNDUFF. Tl.e sad news was received by wire Monday that Mrs. Will S. Orn dult died at 4 clock that morning at a hospital in Kansas City.

The announcement of her death does not come as a surprise, for it was known for several days that there were no hopes of recovery. Mrs. Ornduff was a victim of consumption. Her maiden name was Inez Spence and she was the daughter of Capt, Jas. Spence, of Carthage.

Only a little over a year ago she became the wife of W. S. Ornduff, who also came from Carthage, but who has made Galena his home for two or three years, having been employed at the Golden Rule clothing house. Mr. and Mrs.

Ornduff were favorites in Galena. For a long while they boarded, and when able to secure quarters went to housekeeping. They lived on south Joplin street Their union was a felicitous and happy one, and their married life was begun auspiciously. That it should be brought to a close, within 3 few weeks, by the death of the young wife, is indeed sad. Mrs Ornduff was about 25 years of age, of an amiable disposition, cheerful nature, bright and companionable, and reflected in her every day life the instincts of modesty and the best qualities of her sex.

The young husband, whose life partner has been so soon taken from him, has the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. Ornduff had his wife removed to his father's home near Carthage, where she could have better attention. From there she was taken to Kansas City, by local physicians' advice, and placed under more expert care. Mr.

Orn duff made frequent visits to her bedside, and her sister, Mrs. Royse, of Joplin, was constantly her. HELD UP AND ROBBED. Chas. Date, a barber of Siloam Springs, who came here a few days ago in search ot employment, was a victim of footpads Saturday afternoon.

Date was going east on Third street and when among the dump piles east of L. Baum's residence he was confronted by two men who ordered "hands up," and they proceeded to go through his pockets. After securing $5 in cash and a $35 gold watch they departed speedily. Marshal Parker was notified of the fact and at once set out on their trail. When the two footpads became aware that they were about to be captured they wanted to compromise the trouble, which Date allowed them to do by returning his property to him.

A SEVERE FRACTURE. Dr. Payne was called to the Ore- or-no-go crusher luesday about 8 o'clock to attend a man who had his arm broken. On reaching the crusher he found the injured man was Ben Messenger. He got his arm caught in a belt among the machinery, breaking the arm just between the elbow and wrist.

It is a compound fracture and the bones were protruding through the flesh when the doctor reached him. Father Knoop, the Catholic Priest, Succumbs suddenly in Empire. Rev. Father Knoop, the Catholic priest.died suddenly Friday morning at about 9 o'clock, of cerebral appoplexy, at his home in Empire. He had complained for several days of pain in his head, though he was feeling as well as usual Thursday.

In fact, was out driving in the afternoon. He conversed with the family where he stays, before retiring for the night, in his usual manner, and showed no signs of sickness. Failing. -to arise at his accustomed hour that morning, some one was sent to his room. Father Knoop was found lying on the floor in his nightclothes, in an unconscious state.

He -was helped to his bed, and a physician summoned. Dr. John Allen arrived at his side just as he was breathing his last. The doctor pronounced the cause 5f death cerebral appoplexy. rather Knoop was about 35 years of age and came from Par sons here.

He has preached at the church in Empire off and on for the past year, and has been permanently located in Empire since about three months ago. He established the Parochial school in Empire and was at its head up to the time of his death, MANY ACCIDENTS. The Icy Ground Proving gekous to Life and Limb, Dan- boy hurt by coasting. Jesse Grant, aged about 15, son of Geo. W.

Grant, member of the city school board, was hurt late Monday evening while coasting on the Spring Grove hill. Jesse and quite a crowd of other boys were coasting on the hill until darkness came, and after dark lanterns were used as headlights to the sleds. On one of the trips down the hill, the Grant boy ran into a horse and nuggy which was going up the hill, and became entangled under the horse's feet. The animal kicked the lantern into smithereens, the glass splattering in Jesse's face, and then landed with its hoof on the side of his head. The injuries while painful are not serious, and Jesse will likely be sliding down hill again before this snow goes off.

killed by a fall. A fall on the icy ground resulted in the death of Mr. Stokesberry at his home two miles south of the city, Monday forenoon. No details more than that he slipped and ell, his head striking the ground, causing a concussion ot the brain, have been received by THE Tl.WES. Mr.

Stokesberry occasionally preached at the New Light church in East Galena. His main means of livelihood was hauling wood to regular customers jn Galena, and this fall he has been hauling char coal to the Gaiena-Empire smelter. collar bone broken. Bert Waller, residing on East Sixth street, was a victim of the slick roads Tuesday morning. He had started to his mines in Cooper Hollow and was going down the hill just before reaching the hollow when he slipped and fell, breaking his collar bone.

Dr. Owings, of East Galena, was called and re duced the fracture. ANOTHER FRACTURE. Dr. Jno.

Allen was called to Rice ville Monday afternoon to reduce the fracture of the left clavicle of Tommy Quails, about 14 years of age. I he boy was playing in tne yard when he slipped on the ice, with the above result. CARR HUNG. but the Galena Contingent Didn't See it Tied Up in a Wreck. L.

M. Radley, Geo. Rains and Zeke James, who started Thursday night for Liberty, to see Carr, the murderer of his own little child, pay the penalty ol his crime, returned home Saturday. 1 hey got tied up by a wreck at Fontana and didn get into Kansas City until noon and after Carr's soul had been wafted avvay. The drop was made at 10:35 and Carr's neck was broken.

He died in eleven minutes, and eighteen minutes after the trap was sprung the body was cut down. Carr went to his death without a trace of emotion, and made no speech upon the scaffold as some thought he would. After being exposed to the cold or wet take a dose of Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey and fortify yourself against cold. This is one of the most efficacious remedies known to science for coughs, colds and incipi ent consumption.

For sale by The Confessed Counterfeiter Turned Over to United States Officers. John Jones, deputy United States Marshal, came to Galena Friday evening after Walter Snyder, one of the prisoners who broke jail here last Wednesday night. Marshal' Jones received a telegram at Baxter from the Chicago officers, saying a warrant had been sent 10 Galena for him. He found the warrant and after serving it left on the midnight train for Ft. Scott, Snyder will be held there until he is indicted by the Chicago, and jury.

ated in Friday's TIMES, SnyTaer -made a written affidavit before INotarv Pasley, in the presence of three other witnesses, to being a member of the famous Tony Hippy gang of counterfeiters which reigned in Chicago several years ago; that he personally assisted in manufacturing spurious silver coins and that he knew where $3,300 of the money was today buried. Me made the statement of his own volition, and stated that the life of a fugitive from justice was not the pleasantest in the world. He desired to be turned over to the United States officers and let the law take its course. The other prisoner, Chas. Wood, was taken charge of by Missouri officers, to answer to stealing about $55 worth of goods from the Frisco depot at Joplin.

The escape from jail and subse quent capture of Snyder and Wood during the early morning hours of Thursday was briefly told by THE TIMES Friday. Though the men were locked in a cell they "picked" the lock and took the hinges from the outer door in a comparatively brief space of time, not more than fifteen minutes being required to do the work. The snow and sleet which had fallen during the night was the cause for easy tracking. Officers Parker, Harmon, Elliott and Sparks started in pursuit and the jail breakers had about forty-five minutes the lead. They traveled little faster than the officers, be cause the latter had to search for their tracks, which they did by the aid of two lanterns.

It is estimated that sixteen miles were covered be tween here and Baxter, on account of the winding route the fugitives took, either purposely or because they were not familiar with the country. Baxter was reached at daylight and a more worn out set of officers could not be imagined. At Baxter all the officers but Harmon stopped to rest. The latter officer believed that to op then would be disastrous, so securing a horse he started on alone. He soon found the trail in a straight and immediately put the whip to the horse.

He caught sight of them finally, and to avoid suspicion rode at a moderate gate, except wnen not in sight ot the prisoners, when a more rapid stride was made. By such tactics, he was enabled to get close upon them. As the men came up to an ndian house by the roadside, they entered the yard and went around to the back door. Harmon hastened to the rear of the house, also, taking the opposite side from the prisoners. Whiie they were asking for a bite to eat, Harmon threw his gun upon them.

He told them that he was pretty mad, and tired, and out of humor because they had caused him all this trouble, and if either of them moved he would shoot in a second. Snyder and Wo" obeyed, and the officer marched them to a neighboring house. Once Wood got out of line, but a stern command from Harmon induced him to get back near his "partner." It was fully an hour before the other officers came to Harmon's assistance. The deputy marshal froze his ears and his fingers, and is entitled to a gold medal for his work. The other officers are deserving of much praise, also, but it was Harmon's foresight at Baxter and his belief that "delay was dangerous" that won.

FUNERAL OF MRS. WILL ORNDUFF. The funeral of Mrs. Will Ornduff, who died in the Notrebe Sanitarium at Kansas City Monday morning, was held at the residence of the deceased's father, Capt. James Spence, in Carthage, at 2:30 Tuesday.

Rev. A. J. Wagner conducted the services. Mrs.

Ornduff was born in Carthage in 1871, and was consequently 26 years of age. She was graduated from the Carthage high school, and just previous to her marriage was a teacher in the Carthage city schools. She was married to Mr. Ornduff June 24, 1896. married in carthage.

They were made of one name by Judge Kerr, and at supper time registered at the Arlington hotel as M. Bowman and wife, Galena."

The value of Christmas slippers seems to be in making them. We met an honest man today; he acknowledged that he was fickle. When a man tries two or three things, and doesn't strike his gait, it is probable he hasn't any. In housekeeping, whist and fancy work go together. Cooking and mending are in another class.

No man can claim to be a favorite with the fair sex until some woman has taken poison for him. It is a question whether a man is abused more for selfishness than he is for thrift and industry. When a man has anything to throw away, he throws it where it will annoy, others as much as possible.

The week just past has been a hard one on the mines as will be seen by the decreased output. However, the Gaiena-Empire mines did not seem to fare so badly as some of the others, as they are well to the front with more than double the turnin of any other mining camp in the district.

Out door operations were practically suspended the latter part of the week and those who were compelled to clean their ore on hand jigs made very small turnins, and even some of the large plants found a considerable difficulty in keeping their machinery in operation. Zinc ore dropped 50 cents per ton, but lead remained steady at 23.25 per thousand, delivered. As compared with the preceeding week the sales were less in value by 25,637.

Modern Woodmen Give a Spread to the Royal Neighbors. A short time before Crystal Camp No. 75, Royal Neighbors, had finished order of business Friday night Newt. Parman appeared at the threshold with the message that the Modern Woodmen Camp No. 804, came seeking admission.

This was quite a surprise to every one and tt remaining work was hurried through that they might entertain the camp. Another surprise yet awaited the Royal Neighbors for Mr. Parman then announced that the ladies of Crystal Camp No. 75, were invited to repair to the banquet room where the Woodmen had prepared a pread as best they could in their rough way. This was indeed a surprise to all.

As Oracle Mrs. Shivel expressed it they could not have been more surprised had the roof opened and let the camp down through it. Nevertheless they ac cepted the invitation with pleasure. Alter repairing to the banquet room they found the tables nicely arranged and filled with good things. reir bill of fare consisted of ham sandwiches, pickles, celery, coffee and cake.

The Woodmen served the lunch excellent style. The affair was one to be remembered for many a day. Thousands of persons flounder along for months, yes, even years, uttering from indigestion, bowel troubles and liver disorders, with their accompanying disagreeable ymptoms, because they think they are obliged to do so. If they would take a short course of Dr. J.

H. Mc Lean's Liver and Kidney Balm they would soon get rid of the miserable feeling and that overpowering sense of weariness and incapacity for work would give place to one of health, vigor and cheerfulness. rice $1.00 a bottle. Foe sale by the City Drug Store. Seventh district.

GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. some men nave as little sense about money matters as widows. It is the real genuine thing to re fer to the holidays as "Christmas tide." Compliment some men, and they will consider that there was nothing else to say. If a woman is sick, and you want her to recover, don tell her friends that she is sick.

If we go to hell, we hope to find a lot of practical jokers there. We have always hated a practical joker. No difference how rotten a story is at this time of the year, it goes if it has something about Christmas in it. We fail to see why a man should be proud of rich or distinguished kin. The relationship never gets him anything.

If you are poor you are proof against some of the ills of people who have a little money; attorney tees, lor instance. There is something wrong with a young man who has to buy a second dress suit.

Men do not need an "appetizer." We all eat too rnucn, and what we need is something to dull the appetite. It has always been the style for women to carry pocket books, but of late years so many women are taking care of themselves that it is becoming the style to carry money in them.

We have often wondered that some smart child, finding the chim ney very small, does not spend her money on a bottle of anti-fat for Santa Claus. The mothers should spring this story. Writing letters for Santa Claus, and putting them into the stove, has lost its favor. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.

The quiet hog gets the most slop. Never look a toy pistol in the muzzle. Those Indian foot ball players probably travel on scalpers' tickets. Its enough to make the pot boil when the kettle calls it black. Civil actions speak louder than words a judgment is worse than a dun.

Talk is cheap especially when you make use of your neighbor's i mere is room tor everybody in this big world, but we all can't have front rooms. The man who makes the best of everything is always sure of a market for his products. It's the man who has the will power to stop drinking when he sees fit that never sees fit. No man was ever blamed for being a gentleman, but many have been falsely accused of it. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press. Love is the only real contradiction in itself. Men make more mistakes than women, but women make the same mistakes oftener. When a woman goes to get a check cashed, she always acts as if she were buying something and wasn't sure whether she liked it. The pleasure the average woman gets out of getting Christmas presents is generally balanced by the fear that she may not be able to find out just what some of them cost.
