9 From the Times, Kansas City, Mo.
»Robert H. Hunter is un old veteran of
Arlington, in the territory of Oklahoma,
trho, after 3.'i yoars of helploss suffering is
o\v so far rejuvenated that lie lias taken
ip a quarter section of laud “to grow up
vith the coun’ry,” as he says.
In 181 W Mr. Hunter was serving at the
! rout in Co. G., Ist Mo. Cavalry, and while
hi a long forced inarch was 'll) duys und
lights in the saddle during very rainy
veather. He was, shortly after getting
nto camp, from the exposure he lmu gone
.hrough taken with such severe crampings
md swelling of the limbs, that it was at
irst surmised that he had been bitten by a
•at tier or a copperhead. The regimental
surgeon was not of that opinion, but diug
loscd it as acascof saddle crauipaud acute
rheumatism of a severe type. Here is the
Did soldier’s own story:
“The regimental surgeon informed my
captain that 1 would not be able for some
time, if ever, to ride my lioive, so 1 was ap
pointed commissary sergeant of the com
pany. in which capacity I served until Sep
tember. 1864, when from luck of exercise,
owing to my crippled condition. 1 was tuken
with chronic diarrhoea. Neuralgia, dys
pepsia and curvature of the spine soon
added their presence to my weight of woe,
and at iny discharge 1 was a prottv badly
used up man. Of course 1 was obliged to
undergo medical treatment, and had nu
merous physicians who attempted to give
me relief without success, and as the years
! rolled on hope grew dimmer until I saw
nothing that would assuage my suffering
i g the grave.
Thus 1 dragged on a miserable existence
j until 18i>0, when to and to my misery 1
cuncht la grippe, and when that left ine.all
i ray diseases were emphasized, and my lungs
became affected. 1 was not able to walk
| any distance, and when I came to Oklahoma
' in Ifc'ja, was too ill and weak and helpless to
i look at tho quarter scctiou 1 hud taken up.
“In August. ISM. I read in a newspaper
that Dr. Williams* Pink Pills for l'ale Peo
ple had cured the effects of la grippe in a
great many cases, so I thought it could do
me no harm to try them, and 1 did.
“Before 1 had linislicd the first box my
cough was cured, and all pulmonary symp
toms hud disappeared, and my general
health became better, especially my appe
tito and digestion. My heart, which had
been irregular, missing about every third
beat, resumed normal action, and my liver
and kidneys begun once more to do tho
labors for which they were intended. J con
tinued to lake the pills, and soon my right
arm. which had grown useless, and iny
hand so nerveless that I could not grasp a
pen. became much better, and eventually
well. 1 can now use my right arm. hand
and shoulder as well as ever. 1 can chop
I wood, and often walk 111 or 20 miles und can
plough a whole day.
“Life looks altogether different tome;
31 thanks to Hr. Williams' Pink Pills, and
S with my pension. I hope to l»e able from iny
labors to lay up a little money. As I had
entirely given up all hope of health, it may
be imagined liow happy I feel and now
changed the world looks. 1 have offered to
pay for Pink Pills for others who cannot
afford to buy them, as a debt of gratitude
that I can thus partially pay; and I try to
let everybody know what tlic remedy has
done for ine.
"1 am not able to express my changed
feelings, nor could 1 if 1 had a far higher
command of language than 1 now have. I
hope that this testimonial may be the
means of others knowing that there is re
lief for them in Ur. Williams' Pink Pills

FITZSIMMONS WINS.
Gives Corbett a Knockout Hlow la the
Fourteenth Hound.
Carson City, Nov., March 18.—In tho
prize fight hero yesterday, Robert Fitz
simmons was the winner, defeating
Jumos J. Corbett in the fourteenth
round and thus gaining tiie title of
champion heavyweight of the world.
The .victory was not gained without
a struggle; in fact, victory did not
seem possible for Fitzsimmons, until
the last moment of the battle, who was
giving every indication of slowly going
to pieces, delivering a blow in a vital
part and followed it with two others,
which sent the Californian to the floor
with the agony of pain and despair im
printed <>n ids face and unable to rise
within the limit which would save
him.
It was a great contest, but notwith
standing the cheers for the victor the
majority of those who witnessed it
could not but feel a sense of disap
pointment at the result, believing ns
they did that victory was taken from
Corbett at a moment when he seemed
sure of gaining it himself.
It was a moment after tlie noon hour
when the principals aud their seconds
appeared, and both were greeted with
great cheering. George Siler, the ref
eree, arranged the few preliminary
matters in a short time, and about
12:10 the battle commenced. Little
was accomplished by either of the men
in the first round, but in the next few
rounds Corbett had every advantage.
In the fifth round lie punished Fitz
simmons severely, battering him on
the body and face until the blood
streamed from his face, and he finally
sank to his knees to avoid further pun
ishment. remaining there until nearly
all the allotted time had expired, when
he arose and succeeded in continuing
the contest for the few remaining sec
onds of the round. Nearly all the spec
tators thought the end was at hand
then, but tlie Australian rallied and
fought a game battle for nearly eight
rounds more, though there were sev
eral occasions during that time when
Corbett seemed to have him going. He
did land a number of blows on Cor
bett, and they were hard, too, but they
seemed to have little effect on him.
At the opening of the fourteenth and
last round, Corbett “looked the win
ner.” Though somewhat tired, he was
still strong and was displaying more
science and continued to pound the
Australian and keep up the flow of
the stream of blood.
And then came the final blow and
the end. The blow which ended t lie
fight was a left-hand punch, delivered
just below the heart. It was all the
more effective for the reason that Cor
bett was leaning backward when it
came. It caught him on the tensely
drawn muscles just over the spleen,
and must have caused the most intense
agony. Corbett was more unconscious
from pain than from the force of the
blow. As he lay writhing and grovel
ing on the floor his face presented the
most ghastly appearance imaginable.
No man in a hist death struggle could
have horrified the spectators more, and
his agonizing cries of pain could be
heard above the cheers for the victor.
And then followed the wildest scene
of the day when he arose to his feet
and with’all the strength he had left,
rushed at his opponent and tried to
finish the contest. Those nearest the
ring jumped over the ropes, in spite of
all efforts of the police to prevent
them, and in a moment the entire
inclosure was filled with a howling,
shouting mol), and the noise and con
fusion was so great that the referee
was hardly able to announce ills de
cision, awarding the battle to Fitzsim
mons.
In the midst of it all. Corbett, who
had been forced to his corner by his
friends, broke away from them and
rushed at Fitzsimmons a second time,
but this time Instead of attempting to
renew the fight, lie implored his victor
to give him another chance and to ac
cept a challenge from him. This was
refused, and warm words followed.
Fitzsimmons was borne away with all
the glory of ills now-won victory and
Corbett'left to return to his home in
San Francisco, carrying with him the
despair of defeat.
About r*.ooo persons were present, in
cluding Fitzsimmons’ wife, who was
close to the side of the ring.
As Corbett staggered to the dressing
room after tlie contest, his brothers,
Harry and Joe. supporting him. one
on each side, the scene was a pitiful
one. What, to him. was honor, fame
and fortune, had been irretrievably
lost In the brief space of time since he
had left the room, confident of keep
ing the championship of the world. A
short hour before he had been abso
lutely certain of victory, without a
shade of doubt that his record would
remain unmarred, and tlie crushing
defeat was almost beyond belief to
him. His trainers crowded into tlie
dark little room after him and gath
ered about him as he sank exhausted
in a chair.
“I don't know how it happened. I
had him almost out and I could have
whipped him if I lmtl followed it up,
but I wanted to show him how thor
oughly I could best him. Oh. if I can
only get at him again He must, he
absolutely must, give me another
chance. I can whip him next time.”
There was a moment’s silence, when
suddenly Jim leaned forward against
ids brother Marry and burst Into tears.*
“I can’t believe it.” he sobbed. “I
can’t believe it. Harry. llow is it. old
man, that I am defeatedV”
Tho scene was too much for the lit
tle crowd of heart-broken friends
Billy Woods shrank into a dark corner
and, with his cap over his face, en
deavored to stille his soils.
Corbett’s face was as pale as death
and drawn in ugly lines by the phys
ical and mental agony he was under
going. He little looked the man who
had whipped Sullivan as he lay hack
In his chair, his hand pressed below
his heart, where the blow that had
ruined him had gone home. “llow my
heart hurts me. I thought I would die
when I went down. I cannot realize
that I was being knocked nut. I only
know that iny side was killing me. The
pain was awful—awful. The only
place that I feel any trouble now is
right below the heart. I don’t know
how badly I am hurt. It may kill
me vet. aud what is the difference If
it does?”
Fitzsimmons, in an interview after
the fight, said that he would never
fight another battle.

Across the Ocean.
HE press dispatch
es have already
mentioned the
series of crimes
charged against
Frank Butler, the
monster of the Blue
mountains,” who
was captured on the
sailing ship Swan
hilda, in at San
Francisco from
Australia, a few days since, but the
story of the awful deeds he is alleged
to have committed is so varied and
startling that new events crop out
daily. The case is therefore worthy of
more extended comment.
The life of this great criminal is
unique In the history of modern crime.
3o amazing have been his offenses that
it is impossible to recount them with
out Involving a doubt of his sanity.
Yet there can be no question of the
fact that Butler is a simple example
of that cruelty and brutality that now
and then manifests itself among mod
ern civilized peoples. The absolute ab
sence of conscience or sympathy which
he displays is unparalleled among civil
ized people during recent times. The
story of his crimes is horrifying. No
sane man, with the exception of H. H. ,
Holmes, is known to have manifested
such a lack (f feeling or to have car
ried on his murderous business with
such positive brutality. Butler is a
savage in the midst of civilization.
Comparatively little is known of his
former life. He is a mining prospector
and a seaman. He Is known to have
been in San Francisco four years ago.
Thence he went to Africa to search for
gold, and from Africa he migrated to
Australia. lie is nn Englishman of a
stature something above middle height,
with heavy eyes, bronzed complexion,
and perhaps 10 years of age. The ap
pearance of his face is repulsive, but ho
has a suavity of manner that enables
him to win the confidence of men, and
that was of material assistance to him
in luring men to their doom. After
landing in Sydney Butler looked about
for something to do. He gave out that
he was a prospector, and people could
easily see that he had something of the
mariner about him. He did nothing to
attract attention, and he lived as he
pleased. Now and then he left town
.. was gone for a few days, returning
as if- from a prospecting trip in the
mountains. Early last April he ma
tured the design by which he encom
passed the death of many men. Tho
number of his victims is not known.
It may be fifteen, it may be forty.
But the police have positive informa
tion that five dead men are to be placed
to his account. His plan was hideous
in its simplicity. He advertised in a
Sunday paper for a partner to exploit
a valuable mining claim. The victim
was invited to proceed with Butler to
the property, which, ho said, was locat
ed In the Blue mountains, forty miles
lrom Sydney. When In the wilderness
Butler set tho victim to work digging,
and when the excavation was of size
sufficient tho murderer shot his man
in tiie head, despoiled the body and
buried it in the grave prepared for it
self with its own hands. It was during
last October that Butler made one of
his trips into the mountains from Syd
ney. On his return he assumed the
name of Frank P. Harwood, who had
disappeared a short time before and of
whose whereabouts no one seemed to
know. Harwood was last seen In the
company of Butler, but his disappear
ance had not attracted special atten
tion. The man had no friends, aud as
his absence did not concern anyorfe es
pecially no inquiries were made for
him. Soon nfte- Butler's reappearance
in Sydney the advertisement for a
mining partner again appeared and
Arthur O. Preston, a young English
man In attendance at the university of
Sydney, responded. Butler explained
to Preston that he had discovered a
good prospect In the mountains and the
two set out for the Emu plains on tho
train. Arriving at the station near the
foothills the two men made their way
Into the mountains. A few days after
ward Butler returned to Sydney and
told his acquaintances that he had split
with Preston because tiie student was
too "soft.” Within a few days after his
return from the trip with Preston But-

ler again advertised for a prospecting
partner. This time Lee Weller, a well
known sea captain, fell Into the trap
and culled on Butler. The address the
murderer gave on this occasion was
different from that of his former lodg
ings. It was on Nov. 7 that Butler and
Weller loft for Emu plains. At tho end
of a week Butler returned without
Weller, telling a story of how the sea
captain had fallen ill.
Weller’s friends were by no means
pleased with the account Butler gave of
him. and determined to institute a
search for the missing sea captain. A
party was organized, and, going to Emu
plains by train, struck out for tho
mountains. Flic party was divided and
agreed to meet at a certain place. On
Nov. 25 Capt. Weller’s coat was found
and tho fragments of his pocketbook
were picked up. Other belongings of
tiie seaman woro discovered near the
remains of a camp-fire. Near this site
vns also found a pair of trousers and a
’flack leather legging belonging to But
er. also a coat bearing Butler’s name.
News of this success reached Sidney
and was spread throughout all of
southern Australia. Volunteers added
their strength to the searching party
and hundreds of men helped to swell
the number of the people who were
searching the mountains. By this time
suspicion became well defined and it
was now believed that Butler had made
away with the other men who had an
swered his advertisements. On Dec. 1
an undershirt, later identified as the
property of young Preston, was found
within half a mile of the camp-fire
where the articles belonging to Weller
and Butler had been found, and a few
days afterward Preston’s body was dis
covered in a shallow grave at the head
of a gully. He had been shot through
the head, his body had been stripped
and doubled up in a narrow trench.
Efforts to find the remains of Capt.
Weller were now redoubled, and the
searchers were finally rewarded by
finding the body of the seaman burled
In a small trench, precisely like that
which concealed the remains of Pres
ton. Weller’s grave had been dug on
the banks of a small creek. Mean
while Butler had left Sydney and had
taken up his abode in Newcastle, N. S.
W. He had gone to the Sailors’ homo
and had registered there ns Leo. Weller.
He had presented Weller’s certificate
at tho home and had stayed there
CAPT. LEE WELLER.
about a week. Butler was traced to
the Sailors' home at Newcastle, and an
accurate description of him was given
by the superintendent. He left New
castle and returned to Sydney. Here he
engaged himself as second mate in the
Hawaiian bark Hawaiian Isles, using
the name of Capt. Lee Weller. The
captain of the Hawaiian Isles decided
that he did not want Butler aud re
leased him from his engagement. But
ler next applied to Capt. Frazer of the
ship Swanhilda, bound for San Francis
co and laden with coal. Capt. Frazer
engaged him as a seaman and Butler
became one of the crew of the Swan
hilda. The ship sailed from port two
days before the first evidence of But
ler's crime came to the surface, and the
murderer felt sure that he had escaped
detection.
After Butler had sailed on the Swan
hilda numerous evidences of other
crimes came to the knowledge of the
police and the people. It was learned
that during August, Frank P. Harwood
had gone prospecting with Butler and
was never seen afterward. In Sep
tember another well-known man in
Sydney named Lcsalc was known to
have gone prospecting with Butler. Le
salc did not return, and It Is certain
that Butler disposed of him in the same
manner in which he treated his other
victims. Frank Campbell is another
young man who answered Butler's ad
vertisements and who has # never been
beard of since tiie two loft Sydney on
a prospecting tour. After Cambell's
disappearance another young man,
whose name is not known, was seen in
Butler's company. He, too, is missing,
and there is no doubt that Butler
caused tiie death of him also.
The police traced Butler from New
castle back to Sydney, and learned that
he had shipped on board the Swanhilda
under the name of Leo Weller. The
Sydney police lost no time. Two de
tectives were sent out by steamer to
San Francisco The Swanhilda Is a
slow ship, and the steamer rapidly dis
tanced it, landing the detectives long
before the slower boat heaved within
sight of the heads. Another detective
was dispatched to Scotland Yard, Lon
don, to prepa/e a requisition for the
extradition of the murderer. The cable
was set in motion, aud while Butler
was sailing the blue Pacific, all ar
rangements for his arrest on board the
Swanhilda were made by telegraph.
The captain of a passing ship Informed
Capt. Fraser of the Swanhilda of the
man’s crimes. Butler was not put in
irons, as ho was a quiet and efficient
sailor. When captured on the Swan
hilda ho denied that his name was
Butler, claiming that his name was
Elgan, but in his baggage were found
articles belonging to a number of vic
tims, especially Capt. Weller, sufficient
to convict him many times.
Information from Australia since his
capture shows that Butler masqueraded
under many nnmes, and the number of
the murders he is guilty of must for
ever remain a matter of speculation un
less he decides to make a confession,
which is by no means likely.

AMERICAN RAILS IN ENGLAND.
Ciiriiegles Undersell tbe l.'ngllsli Mit nil fit c-
An event reported this week, which will
certainly cause a great amount of comment
and commotion in the Iron market on both
sides of the Atlantic. Is the sale of steel
rails by the Carnegie Steel Company, of
Pittsburg, to English railroads. It is un
derstood that the orders Include ".'.oon tons
for London \ Northwestern Railway, and
•Jo.tKMt tons for the Southeastern. while
other orders in addition to these -Including
a heavy contract for Japan—will bring the
total sale •»' rails for export up to about
lon.ooo tons during the week. As to price,
nothing can now be ascertained, but the
current quotation for steel rails in Eng
land Is a little over per l<ai at the mill.
With due allowance for freight charges,
this would net the makers here between SIS
and SID i A toil at the mill, which Is quit"
as much as they would receive for a conslil
erable part of the orders taken for home
delivery, and will probably leave them a
fair margin of protit.
The important part is that an American
firm should have been able to Invade tin
English market and take orders from Eng
lish companies. This will astonish the trade
in (srent Itrltnln, and will probably awaken
a good many to the fact that costs of pro

large sales. Tills Is the first Important
transaction of the kind, but In all prolmbll-

point which will cause Itrltlsh manufactur

KL A sick man is like a
r^wv:'*man who goes up in a
balloon, lie is blown
UV hither and thither by
MS the winds of disease.
•H A traveler by rail or
Mr £f steamer has a regular
Jtrack. Me is rcasona
[J bly certain of reaching
tr (L, r a given destination;
but the balloonist is at
the mercy of totally
uncertain elements. No track, no course,
no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may
not bring destruction.
So with the sick man. His disordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain. No organ can be depended on
to do its normal work. The stomach will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bil
ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste. No
regular nourishing or purifying process is
going on. There is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering.
In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated con
ditions, what is needed is to change the ab
normal, erratic operations of the system
into a natural, regular, straightforward pro
gress in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly
its Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
It directly regulates the vitalizing func
tions. It sets the stomach and liver into
natural, healthy operation attd gives the
blood-making glanus power to manufacture
an abundance of pure, rich blood.
It creates appetite; builds up muscular
strength, and banishes nervousness and
neuralgia. As it can be assimilated by the
weakest stomach, its nourishing properties
are far superior to nauseating cod liver oil
in severe coughs and all wasting diseases.
The druggist who recommends something
else as "just as good ” is thinking more of
his extra profit on the "just as good " kind
than of your welfare.
