Professor Whitewater entered the
Kicker office day before yesterday with
beaming smile and extended hand after
an absence of about ten months spent
in the penitentiary. He was unfortu-
nate enough, it viii be remembered, to
hurt someone in little dispute at the
Red Front Saloon, and the court
thought it best for him to take little
vacation.
The Professor returns home looking
in good health and filled with enthusi-
asm over the progress the town has
made during his absence. We vel
come him. A little State Prison ex-
perience hasn't hurt him, nor won't
hurt any of our tOwnsmen.

So NDEsTRUCTIBLE by wear or de.
cay is the African teakwood that YES
sells built of it have lasted fully 100
years, to be then broken up only on
account of their poor sailing qualities
on account of faulty models. The
wood, in fact, is one of the most re-
markabIe employed in human indus
tries on the score of its great weight,
hardness, and durability, its weight
varying from some forty-tWo to fifty
two pounds per cubic foot. 1t works
easily, but because Of the large guam
tity of sick contained. in it the tools
employed in its manipulation are In q
short time worn away. 1t, however,
possesses the advantage of containing
an oil which prevents the spikes and
other iron work with which It may
come in contact from rusting. The
difference between this and the East
Indian teakwood, though both are
used for shipbuilding, is notable. The
latter, which is really the most valu-
able timber produced IN that country,
is light and easily worked, strong,
durable, not liable to the attacks of IN
sects, abounds in sick, and resembles
coarse mahogany. The tree requires
some sixty to eighty years growth to
produce the size Of timber preferred
for shipbuiIding, and much of It Is used
In England for this purpose.

A few of our citizens seem inclined

that giving a man an Office should de-

the MAJOR feels like going on a spree
the break can be overlooked in a com

else seem to be actuated by a spirit of

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.l
HAGERsTowN, Nd, May 24-Down in
the Rohrsville district of this county
nearly 20 years ago resided Abraham E.
Smith, now deceased. Abraham was the
possessor of wife and child, bright and
interesting little girl, but now grown to
womanhood. For some cause an estrange-
ment sprang up between Smith and his
wife, and he left for parts unknown. Time
wore on, and Smith was to all intents and
purposes dead. Some four years ago Jacob
Smith, the father of Abraham, died, leaving
an estate to be administered upon and
divided between his legal heirs, of which
Abraham was one. His family, believing
him to be dead, proceeded in legal man.
ner to divide the property. Under the
seyen-year absence law the death of Abraham
Smith was proven in the Orphans' Court of
this county aud letters of administration
issued to his daughter. Thus fortified, she
came in possession of sum of money due
her father from the estate of the elder
Smith.
Thus matters remained until few days
ago, when 10 and behold Abraham Smith,
in life and flesh, appears in Hagerstown,
proves his identity and lays claim to the
money which he was entitled to from his
fathers estate. Another strange feature in
this drama is the fact that Adam Garris ap-
peared for Mrs. Smith and proved her
fathers death, and that now be has also ap-
peared and proved Smiths identity and that
he was not dead. Smith made no effort to
become reconciled with his wife and daugh-
ter, and after thus presenting his claim and
leaving the same with his attorney for ad-
justment, took his departure.

A GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY.
The WeIl-Laid Plot Of Gang of Convicts
in New Jersey

Tne WellsLald flOt OF Tang OIL C0nV1cts
in New Jersey.
JERSEY CITY, May 24-Warden John
Grimes, of the Hudson County Penitentiary,
at Snake Hill, this morning unearthed
plot for general delivery of the convicts
confined in that institution. The attention
of Deputy Wardens Vollers and Clarke was
attracted by suspicious conferences of five
long-term prisoners named Butler, Karman-
haus, Kelliher, Connolly and Brodell. They
reported the case to Warden Grimes, who
ordered rigorous search of the cells to be
made. In the cells occupied by the conyicts
named were discovered 19 files, 6 knives,
saws, 10 drills, pair Of compasSes and
other articles. The files were smuggled into
the prison from the outside, and the other
tools were made by convict blacksmith
now at liberty.
The five convicts were brought in from
the quarries and a set of keys, made of lead,
found in Buffers pocket, would have readi-
ly opened the doors of the cells and that of
the corridor. The men were at once put in
close confinement, and for some time will
subSist on bread and water. Other prison.
ers are believed to be implicated, and
searching investigation is new in progress.
The conspirators undoubtedly intended to
overthrow the guard at night and escape to
the Hackensack meadows.

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks, more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action of the Liver is interfered with. causing
an overflow of bile into the blood. The blood
carries this bile into every part of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
etc., and often serious cases of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses of Burdock Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance of bilious symptoms will remove
them and protect the system from a probable
serious attack.

much evil. It has not checked the consump-

decreased or cut off revenues, and made mu-
nicipal government expensive. Prohibition
would Kill Omaha, just as it has stagnated

could be drunk, just as now. 1t would be
poor stuff, and be swallowed behind the
door. The reform is not worth trying for.

400 Depositors Mourn Him.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.i
NEW YORK, May M.-Max Goldberger,
who for some years has done miscellaneous
banking and brokerage business among the
poorest classes of Polish and Hungarian
Hebrews, has been missing for more than
week, and the Sheriff to-day took possession
of his almost empty Office, at 103 Greenwich
street. 1t is estimated that Goldberger's
liabilities to about 400 deposltors, steamship
companies and others are between SIS, 900
and $4,000, while the visible assets are next
to nothing. Goldberger's principal place of
business was at 163 Ridge street, and, up to
the time of his disappearance, he lived with
his family over his Office. He had the con-
fdence of the people of his race living in
the vicinity of Houston street, and he acted
as financial agent for hundreds of them in
a small way. He paid AZ per cent interest
from the date of deposits, sold foreign ex-
change shade under the market, and seemed
to be doing rushing business; but reverses
came, it is said, in the shape of real estate
losses and the defaulting of his sub-agents
in the sale of emigraut tickets.
For some weeks Goldberger has ap-
parently been striving to turn his available
resources into cash. The Ridge street place
was sold, and last Tuesday Mrs. Goldberger
and her children moved into comfortable
quarters in East Seventy-seyenth street. A
sign in the window of the "bank" notified
depositors that business would be transacted
at the Greenwich street branch. This started
a raid in hurry.
The bookkeeper, Herman Weisenberg,
had no funds and he could not tell when his
employer would return. Goldberger told
him and others, at the time OF his departure,
that he was going on trip of day or two
among his customers near Scranton.

Law never cures sin-cannotc sin. This
is what Paul means when he says: by the
law shall no flesh be frightened in Gods
sight" The soul can neither be made right
in itself nor set right before God by law.
Law is not, and cannot be, and never has
been, and never will be, redemptive. Law
can protect society from the THE, but it can
not cure the thiel; for that other methods
affirmative methods, constructive methods,
moral and spiritual methods-must be en-
ployed. Temperance law leaves the appetite
in the drinker and tries to put wall be-
tween the appetite and Its qualification.
Law cannot keep vices from coalescing and
working out their work of ruin. This is
not the fault of any particular form of law;
it is because law does not and cannot deal
with the sources and causes of moral evil

HELENA, MONT, May 24.-During the
last month a considerable number of emf
grants have been passing through Montana
en- route to British possessions, travelling BY
wagon. 1t has been sscertained that they
are Mormons from Utah and idaho, and
that their destination is the country through
which the Gait Railway passes. Some time
ago the Alberta Railway and Coal Company
was approached by an agent of the Mormon
hierarchy with proposition to buy several
thousand acres of the company's land in the
Northwestern territory upon which to settle
a colony Of the saints
The negotiations hung fire for some time
but were completed more than a month ago.
1t is not known what the consideration was,
nor just how many acres of the land were
purchased. The deal was large one, how
ever, and the province is likely to have a
very considerable Mormon population
within short period of time.

CHICAGO, May 24.-There was stir in

admitted that be had received afidavits
making serious charges in regard to the
manner in which the department has been
conducted, but he declined to state their
nature.
1t is understood, however, that there is no
claim that Health Commissioner DeWolf
has been cognizant of any crookedness; but
that the assertion is made that his discipline
has been lax, and that under-oficials in the
department have been levying blaekmail
right and left. 1t is understood that the
charges are made by distillerS, whose enmity
the Health Commissioner has aroused by his
attitude toward them
