cattle, and such things. We had to pull up the grass by the roots or else twist it off, for we had no way or cutting it. We did not know what scythes and sickles were, and the big knives cost mucn money, or, wudi wme 1 i. -m -m monev to us. our corn and wheat and stock and skins." Geronimo was ten years old before he ever saw a white man.

His grandfather had been a chief, and "Glatly," as the Apaches called Geron- imo, early became a trusted man at the campfire councils. i From the first he hated white men. He despised civilized customs and the dress of the paleface. This is his picturesque account of nis first entry on the warpath: "I got married," he says and sup- ported my wife and my family by hunt ing. I bought horses.

The valleys and the tablelands of the Gila are good places for horses. I always liked horses for hunting, and was getting rich "One day some Mexicans came to our llage to steal while I was on a hunt. village During the fight they killed my wife and my two papooses, about three and five years old. "When I came back and found my wife dead and my children dead it made my heart sorry for myself and hard for the Mexicans!" Geronimo became the merciless enemy of the Mexican and the paleface, and for twenty-five years he was dread ed as a scourge. The Mexicans believed he was a god and used to sacrifice their cattle in the hope of appeasing his wrath.

From the rocky fastnesses of the Gila river he sallied out at intervals with his band of Chricahuas, the fiercest of the Apaches, to murder and to torture victims who were not so fortunate as to be killed at once. His endurance was wonderful. Once he rode horseback five hundred miles without rest. On another occasion he ran forty miles on fqpt in a day to escape from his pursuers. He made an excursion of twelve hundred miles with his band in a month, murdered fifty settlers and reached his mountain lair in safety before the United States troops were on his trail.

Sergeant James G. Warren, who saw Geronimo at the height of his power as Jan outlaw, declares that his face was then of demoniacal ferocity. His fury knew no bounds. His tempor was so terrible that he frothed at the mouth when enraged. AWFUL RECORD OF MURDER.

If a horse did not do as he wished he killed it. If squaws displeased him he ordered them put to death. In six years 425 white settlers, half the population cf Arizona at that time, were murdered by Geronimo and his band. The last death trail in which Geron imo engaged was in 1885. He and his band killed a rancher named Becker in Arizona, torturing his wife and chil dren to death.

Before the party of Indians left the warpath they killed sev enty-six settlers. For years Gen. Crook, king of Indian fighters, had camped on the wilv In dian's trail, and in 1883 he persuaded Geronimo and his people to settle pea ceably tor two years on the Mexican border. Then came the terrible outbreak 1885, and General Crook asked to be relieved of command. General Miles.

He is never bluffed, and is game to the last dollar. A favorite trick of his is to explain that' his eye-sight is extremely bad. Then he pins a bit of white paper up a target and offers a white man for every time the white man hits it with a pistol shot. "But you must give me $10 every time I hit it," adds Geronimo. And Geronimo, in spite his failing eyesight, never misses the mark.

The second week of Miss yiola Allen's coming engagement at the Grand Opera House, Chicago, April 28th, will be marked by an event of unusual interest; the production of Sheridan Knowles' Play "The Hunchback0 with Miss Allen as Julia.

This very exacting but delightful role has been successfully taken by famous actresses in former days, and in the present generation by Clara Morris and Adelaide Neilson. It is regarded as a supreme test of ability and Miss Allen's phenomenal record this winter gives promise of continued triumph in the future. She will be supported by Eben Plympton as Master Walter, and both scenery and costumes will be worthy of the occasion. Quite a sensation among theatrical managers has been produced by Judge Gildersleeve's recent decision in the case of James A. Heme's widow against Messrs.

Liebler Co. regarding "Sag Harbor," of which they have the right of production until Sept. 13, 1903. Verdict was given in the managers' favor and the precedent thus established, is considered of great importance. Bears tLa rThB Kitd You Have Always "All Mine."

NOW IS THE TIME Seasons change. We change them. We can't prevent the coming of cold and damp airs. But we can prevent the sore throats, the coughs, colds and lung troubles by taking Scott's Emulsion.

Nothing does more to make the tender throat tough. Nothing gives such strength to weak lungs. Don't take risks when it's easy to be safe. Now is the season for taking Scott's Emulsion in season. We'll send you a little to try, if you like.

Cheraw, April. 1 Quite a crowd of people went Charleston to Visit the Exposition this afternoon. Among the number were the, following: Mr. and Mrs. W.

W. Pegues. Mr. Pegues Is one of Marlboro's most prosperous farmers, Misses Hattie Godfrey, Laurie Harrall, Eleanor Bellinger, Mrs. J.

E. Powe, Miss Etta Powe, Randolph Pegnes, Alex Harrall' Lynch Bellinger and others. Mr. T. Stobo Farrow went to Charleston this afternoon to attend United States which is in session now.

He will visit the Exposition, before returning to Cheraw. Mr. H. C. Clement and wife, and Mrs.

Finney, of North Carolina, who have on a visit of a week to the Exposition, arrived in Phpraw this morning, on their way back home. Mr. Clement says that the people Of Cheraw deservo much credit for their success in the Exposition, and that it is all the more creditable since Charleston is not as large as other great cities that have Expositions, and this one comes up to, if not excels, any of the others. From now on Charleston will be visited by Cheraw people and from the county. All who have not intended, heretofore, and are able, will go to the Exposition, after having heard the praise that each visitor brings back.

Apropos to the attempt to lynch the Brewers, who killed Albert Hann, an account of which was published in tne columns of The News and Courier this morning, it is understood that the at torneys for the Brewers are trying to make the case a continuous one, or if they do not succeed in this, they will attempt to make a change of venue, as the public feeling around the upper part of the" county is intense, wien the mob reached the jail early Monday morning, they called for justice at once, as it is feared that if the trial is decided to be made continuous, or a change of venue is made, there will not be sufficient punishment for the men. The ccol headed men of 'Chesterfield reasoned with them thus: "Here is court to begin this morning, why not let the Brewers be tried, and let the State see that they be made to get justice, and then the men of the county would not be guilty of lynching them." They held several consultations at the jail yard, and after reasoning among themselves for a while, they finally decided to -await the decision of court, and it is highly probable that unless the trial comes up in this session, and if a change of venue be made, there will stiil be trouble. The feeling is great at Hornsboro, and they wish the Brewers to be brought to justice at once. Misses Carrie and Nell Pegues went to Charleston to visit the Exposition this afternoon.

Geronimo, Apache Indian chief and the man whom General Miles has named "The Human is to be released from captivity at last and may he given citizenship. Geronimo is the most terrible name in the history of two hundred years of bloody Indian fighting. For the last fourteen year Geronimo has been a military prisoner at Port Sill, Oklahoma.

Now, at the age of eighty, he ha signified his wish to become a docile subject of the Great Father at Wash- is old and weak; Great Father is young and strong. His arm is like a withe and his teeth are long and sharp said the broken old warrior a few days ago as he affixed his mark to the legal papers that go with his application for release. General Frank Armstrong, of the regular army, has been looking into the question and his recommended that Geronimo be pardoned and made a cit- izen. Geronimo has been free practically for several years now, or ever since his removal from captivity in the Florida Everglades to barracks at Fort Sill. Although under a constant surveillance, he has a small farm and receives a month as "government scout." This sum is in the nature of a bonus, and Geronimo has been known to chuckle shrewdly at the queer tactics of a Great Father who hires scouts to watch scouts.

With Geronimo 298 Apaches, the remnant of the Chiricahuas, will be released. Geronimo is said by Indian fighters like General Miles, Leonard Wood and others to be the worst Indian that ever lived, 1 It cost the United States government $1,000,000 and hundreds of lives to capture him and put him in irons. Three times he surrendered and escaped before his final capture by the late General Lawton, then under command of General Nelsdn A. Miles. Geronimo's V'death the annual excursions for plunder and murder which the Apache chief carried on for many years, are still remembered with horrible distinctness by settlers of the southwest.

Geronimo was born in his father's ranch away up on the tableland at the head of the Gila river, in Arizona. HIS STORY OF HIS LIFE.

I felt so ill at last I was hardly able to do my work. "I thought I would try a box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and see if they would make me feel better, never really thinking I had dyspepsia, but after only three or four tablets had been taken all the acid trouble disappeared and then I discovered I had had acid dyspepsia, while the doctors had been treating me for kidney and bladder trouble and one of them treated me for rheumatism.

"My digestion is fine, my complexion clear and I am able to do my work and low spirits are unknown to me. 1 "I am so thankful for finding a cure so good and bo pleasant to take as Stuart's 'Dyspepsia Tablets.
