Conttary to Ryan's expectation, bis
case has been appealed to the Su-

that new trial will be granted him.

We trust that nothing we have

we know until then that such a man
as John Evans had existed. We have

whenever and wherever

Diseases of choleraic type prevail, or
there is cause to apprehend a visit from
them, the system should be toned regulated
and reinforced by course pf HOstetter's
Stomach Ritters. Perfect digestion and Il
regular habit of body are the best safeguards
against such maladies, and both secured BY
this inestirnable tonic and dlteratiYb.' The
Bitters are also extremely sefsieeasle in
remedying sneh disorders. 1t promptly
taken in bilious collie, diarrh@a and cholera
morbus, the disease is usually frustrated.
In diarrbDa eases, it is only necessary to
restore the tone of the relaxed bowels, and
this is one of the specific effects of this medi.
cine. Wind on the stomach, heartburn,
biliousness, nausea, headache and other
symptoms of disturbance in the gastric and
hepatic regions are also speedily rGIeye6 by
this excellent remedy. As family medi-
cine it is invaluable, since it promptly and
completely remedies those ailments which
are of most frequent occurrence.

MENDAeIoUs MRS. jerks.


The woman brought beforethe Pots
ter investigating committee to eon-1
tradict the testimony of Jimmy An-I3
derson in relation to "the Sherman
letter." has shown herself to be re-
markably mendacious and unprln-
cipled person, to whom the inveptioG
of DER true tales and the swearing to
their truth are matters of equal facili-
ty.
It is perhaps supeifuous to explain
that the Sherman letter is document
alleged to have been written during
the counting of the Louisiana vote oy
Hon. John Sherman, Secretary OF
the Treasury, and addressed to Messrs.
D. A. Weber and James E. Anderson,
Supervisors of Registration of West
and East Feliciana parishes, assuring
these officials that they would be pro-
tected and provided for, by the Hayes
administration if they would make
and maintain a protest against the
election in their respective parishes.
Anderson swore that such letter had
been written by Mr. Sherman, and
presented to the committee copy OF
the epistle. Mrs. jerks comes for
ward, willing and anxious Witness
and to save Mr.. Sherman from the
odiam of the transaction, declares
upon oath that she wrote the letter
and that the Secretary knew nothing
Of it.
The same Mrs. jerks has twice yisl-
ted Donaldsonville within the past
year or so to importune the widow Of
Mr.. D. A. Weber to seareh among his
papers for the missing document; has
repeatedly expressed belief in it's
existence, and there can be no doubt
that her present tale in regard to the
authorship is pure invention of her
own or some other fertile brain. The
last time Mrs. jerks made her APP
pearance here for the purpose just
mentioned, sho met with a merited
rebuff from Mrs. Weber, and was re-
quested to leave the house, which snf-
ficently explains the spiteful refer
ances which she made to that lady
when giving testimony before the
Potter committee. Mrs. Weber may
indeed be slow to comprehend agood
sense from the jerks standpoint,
because what Mrs. jerks depomi-
natee' good sense may be given an
other name by people who have a
higher regard for the principles of
honesty and truth. The fact that it
is matter of constant regret and hui
initiation to Mrs Weber that her name
should, by force of unfortunate cir
cnmstances, be connected with this
business, amply indicates the vast
difference between her CHARACTER and
instincts aud those Of the notoriety-
seeking jerks.
Concerning Mrs. jerks sarcastic
illusions to a gentleman now en-
ployed in the CHIEF office, it may be
assumed they wele prompted partly
by desire to hit back at the mem
bers of the press who have handled
her so roughly, aud partly to avoid a
direct reply to the inquiry whether
she had not conversed with the gen.
tleman in question relative to the
Sherman letter. That such q CONVEX
sation did occur is certain, and Mrs,
Jenks' evasion and indirect denial Of
that fact is in keeping with her gen
eral conduct as a witness.
