but compounds of Sugar of Lead and Sulphur,
and therefore should be Stunned by all who
value their health, it is scarcely matter ot sur
prise that tho demand for NATTANS' CRlS

the poisonous articles claim to do, should have
increased SO rapidly. 1t restores tho color and

The Case of Miller vs.. Bradstreet, in St.
Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The case OF
Miller vs.. Bradstreet, of the CONNER
cial Agency, continues. Miller intro
duced further evidence as to his solg-
ency snd prosperous business, and
testified himself as to the condition OF
his affairs; he also stated in report
published in July, a number of the
agencies reports had injured his
standing and damaged his credit. J..
II. Evans testified he had been sent
for by Mr.. Sheppard, superin tendent
of the agency, and told by him that
he (Evans) could have a good rating
if ne would pay for hunting evidence
of credit. This would cost from
twenty-five to five hundred dollars.
Evans refused the offer. Chas. Shep-
hard, manager, was then placed upon
the stand, and hetly cOntradicted the
statement Of Evans, and said Evans
offered him money for favorable rating,
that he (the Witness) told him he
ought TO be kicked out of Office for
making such an offer; he never re-
ceived presents, and money consider
atiOns had no influence with him.
King, whose testimony was reported
yesterday, had been discharged for
making Incorrect reports, falsifying
the index and general disObedience of
orders. King had threatened to in.
jure the firm ali he could, and had as.
saulted the witness with a pair of brass
knuekles. The rating of Miller was
based upon information received from
men well versed in trade and bust
ness, and who stated that Miller's as
sets and liabilities so nearly equal as
to justify the witness in rating him to
be trusted with caution. The case
eXcites a great deal Of interest here,
involving as it does the system upon
which commercial agencies are con
Quoted. Much information upon this
point has already been given which is
TO all merchants.

NEW JERSEY.
Governor Randolph Tries to Explain ami
Maintain.

New YORK, July Ex-Governor
Randolph, of New Jersey, in an inter.
view said that at noon of the eleventh
he first received KelsO's order. He
thought the effect of that order would
be to throw the ri0tOus elements into
New Jersey. He Immediately COM
menced writing his proclamation,
which was finished by one pm. He
further.stated that "as fast as one sheet
of the proclamation was written, il
was copied by my assistant secretary,
so that when I had finished two copies
were within few moments of stimuli
taneOus completion, and sent my
Secretary with enc copy to the West
ern Union Telegraph Office to transmit
the proclamation TO the papers in
Newark and Jersey City, and took
my own copy 10 the Atlantic Telegraph
Office to send ii to the New York
papers. My copy being an abbreviated
form no one but myseltOr my Secretary
could read il hardly; SO l had to die
tate it to the telegraph operator
There was a storm on Tuesday which
delayed the sending Of the proclama-
ton over the wires till half past two
O'Clock, and took constructive
possession both offices in Trenton, and
claimed that no message should be
transmitted till the proclamation had
been sent; and the operators good
naturedly agreed to my wishes. The
proclamation got over the wires at
five minutes past three, and immedi-
ateiy afterWard military orders were
sent to General RunyOn, to the Quar-
termaster General, 10 the Adjutant
General and to the staff officers, so
that by half-past three all the neces-
sary military orders had been given.
Upon reaching Jersey City on Wed.

and a Catholic, promptly seconded
my action"

APPOINTMENTS FOR NAVAL SERVICE.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Amount
appropriated by Congress for the na-
val service for the fiscal year ending
June 80, was $19, 1000. At the close
of the year $2,800,000 of the above
sum remained in the Treasury unex-
pended, thus showing that the actual
cost of the navy for the years 1901
has been about $16,000,000 This ex-
hibits great reduction in expendi-
lures over the former years since the
war.
KU-KLUX STORY EXPLAINED.
David Abbey and Granville Cuddy,
two more of the Ku-Klux of Estelle
county, were before U. s. Commits
sioner Brantly to-day, charged with
shooting with intent to kill Darius
FaIkner, eOlored. They were held in
$500 bail to answer before the October
term OF the Criminal Court. Abbey
is an active member OF the Republi--
can party. G. W. Lyle, Seperinten-
dent of The EstelIe iron works at the
time the alleged ku-Klux Outrages
were committed, was interviewed by
the Courier Journal reporter TO O.day.

doubtedly existed, and outrages were
committed; but Ine affair was en-
tireIy local and without any political
basis whatever. 1t was entirely a
question of labor. The iron company
had reduced the wages of the miners
from one dollar and fifty cents TO enc
dollar and twenty five cents per day,
and the miners struck; when the
company procured negro lab0rers to
take their places. The miners then
banded themselves together in their
own interest, and then the trouble
commenced. The bands were COM
posed of men of both parties and sol
diers Of both armies, and the difficult
ties were purely labor riots.
COLONEL PHILLIPS FOR INDIAN
COMMISSIONERS.
The name of Colonel VIM. A. Phil
lips, of Kansas, has been mentioned
in connection with the Office of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs. With
such aitendent facts, as would seem to
indicate, he viii be speedily appointed.
He has been recommended by the
Board of Civil Commissioners, and
his familiarity with the Indian ques-
ton strengthens the belief among his
friends that the appointment viii be
rendered him. The President has
been recently informing himself in
regard to Colonel Phillips record and
fitness.
