SICKNESS AT THE WEST.

The Peoria Qll.) Register of September
2o'h states that an unusual degree Of sickness
prevails in many parts Of that country, es.
pecally upon the bottom lands along the
water courses. The upland prairies were
generally healthy. Within the last two
weeks there had been about 20 cases of sick.
ness in Peoria, md two deaths. Population
about 1900. The st. Louis Republican of
the same date ssys:-
"All the numerous accounts which we
have received from different parts of this
state and Illinois, concur in representing this
as season of unusual sickness. A high
grade o! bilious fever has prevailed general
ly throughout the country, varying only in
the vTulence Of the attack, which, if taken
in the early stages, mostly yields readily to
medicine-but if delayed, often proves fatal.
"The most singular feature of the season,
and one which appears to have been univer-
sully observed is, that the sickness has pre-
vailed most in the country and the towns,
especially those on the rivers, which are con-
sdered more unhealthy than those in the in
terror, have almost universally escaped with
less sickness than common. This has been
The fact in our immediate vicinity. The
sickness and bilious attacks in ST. Louis have
been fewer this than former seasons, while
scarcely neighborhood in the country round
about has escaped. This popularity in the
sickness of the country merits the attention
Of medical gentlemen"

THE KIDNAPPING CASE.

The Examining Court in the case Of Dick
crson Shearer and Francis l.. Wilkinson,
charged with kidnapping the negro boy, Sid
ney D. Francis, of Worcc ,ter, Massachusetts,
was called for Friday last, but adjourned until
yesterday. Both cases were then laid over,
on the plea Of the absence of material wit.
ness on The part Of the Commonwealth, for
the purpose of enabling tho requisilion from
tie Governor Of Massachusetts, in the hands
of the sheriff Of Worcester county, Mass,
who was in town yesterday, to be laid before
the Executive Of Virginia. An application
for bail was made, but refused in both cases.
and, we presume, the Executive will give
them up MS IA matter Of course.
Another boy, of about the same age, named
Nahum Gardner l!assard, of Dunenburg
Mass. is supposed TO have been abducted by
Wilkinson and an nccomplicc, aud was de
posted, early in September, with Mr.. Tate
of Richmond, by Wilkinson, for sale. IIt
has been identified aud delivered up and was
in town yesterday, on his way home.

WORCESTER, Oct. 9, 1899.
Case Of Geo. w. Richardson, Esq. on HaLeas
Corpus.
This was an application by the COM
plainant 10 be released from imprison-
ment under the following circumstances
AT the Court Of Common Pleas. MIR.
Richardson was called as a witness on a
complaint against Hiram Wood for sci :.
ling ardent spirits contrary to the law OF
April, 1888, and was asked this ques-
tiOn.
elias Wood sold you any runs brandy
or other spirituous liquor, in less quaint
ty than fifteen gallons, since the first OF
June last 7"
This question Mr.. Richardson refused
10 answer, on the ground that 10 pur-
chase liquors, under such crcumstn noes,
was to aid, encourage and persuade a
party to sell--and thus procure the
commission of an illegal act-which
was itself a misdemeanor and subjected
the party purchasing TO an indictment.
The Common Pleas, upon the refusal
Of Mr.. Richardson to answer this ques
tion, committed him to prison for con-
tempt and to procure liberation this
appplic alton was made.
The case was argued before the STU
preme Court by MIR. Allen of Worces-
ter, on the part of MIR. Richardson (who
is member Of the Worcester Bar and
by the Attorney General against his re-
lease.
The Court determined that the ques-
ton was a proper one-and Of course
that there was no penalty on the pur-
chaser-and they refused TO liberate
MIR. Richardson from Imprisonment.
This decision being made, MIR. Rich
ardsOn expressed his readiness to testify /;
and having done so was released by the
Court Of Common Pleas.
In the course of the argument the At
torney General took occasion to express
his entire conviction of the constitution
atty of the law of April, 1898, and the
necessity Of its being sustained by the
public iunctionaries SO long as it remain
ed unrepealed.
This case was selected 10 try a prin-
ciple applicable to II large number of
other cases, the Witnesses in which took
the same ground with Mr.. Richardson,
all of whom, alterward, expressed their
readiness to net in conformity to the
opinion of The Supreme Court.
