CINCINNATI, O., Feb. l3.-In the
United States court today a curious case
was disposed of. Mrs. Nancy Smith of
Carter county obtained a pension as the
widow of Wiley Smith, a soldier who died
in 1873. She has received 50, 500 and
had 81. 500 of this deposited in an Iron
ton (O.) bank. Recently 1t came to the
ears of the government officials that she
bad been divorced from her husband in
1868 and suit was brought to recover the
money, and the bank was enjoined from
paving the money on deposit until the
suit was decided. Mrs. Smith denied
that she ever applied for a divorce, and
testified that she was living with her hus.
band at the timo Of his death. The court
records and the testimony OF her own
daughter convinced the jury hat she was
wrong, and a verdict was rendered for
the government.

CHICAGO, Feb. l3.-Henry Slocum of
HckIn, Chin nOw at the Palmer house,
tells Of an g ~ericnce he had in San Fran
cisco recently. He was invited by a friend
to attend a sale of some choice Japs, "
and thinking Japanese bric-a-brac was
meant, he accepted. Arriving at the
place he found several well known citizens
in the parlors. A raised platform stood
at one end of the room, Suddenly"
said Mr.. SlOcuu, the folding doors IN
the apartment we're thrown open and
through them came about twenty Japan
ese girls. The girls were auctioned off at
prices varying from $40 to $500 apiece.
The girls had been enticed from Japan
by u~nscrupulOus wretches with promises
OF easy and remunerative employment.
Such sales occur every month or two. but
nothing is done to prevent them

BosroN. Feb. I3.-About 800 people
gathered in Faneull hall this evening to
hear the ''other side" of the silver
question from Senator Stewart of Nevada
and ex-Representative Warner of Ohio.
Senator Stewart, during the last half of
his speech, was %applauded nearly every
sentence. He said, in pait, that the
silver question is only an incident of the
money question. Money is essential to
civilization. The value OF money.
like that of everything else, de-
pends on the law of supply and
demand. The ratio of silver and
gold is the only manner to determine
what quantity of money would circulate
among the people. These gold coutrac-
tiouists would change every contract to
one payable in gold alone. They say
quality is more important than quantity,
but quality depends on quantity. because
the price Of money is governed by the law
OF supply aud demand
Ex- Representative Warner expounded
and illustrated the proposition that the
silver question was entirely one of guam
tity

Enforcing ProhIbItion In Kansas.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kas Feb. I3-On
Monday Carl Muller, a notorious charac-
ter of the town, got a notion into his
head that the metropolitan police would
he abolished, and that he would open up
a saloon in LeavenwoTth in utter disre-
gard of the state prohibitory and all
other laws. he accordingly procured a
large supply of liquors. which he offered
for sale in old time style. Two policemen
hearing OF Muller's break called at his
place to make an investigation, when
they were driven away by several persons
with shotguns and knives. The police not
desiring to make any trouble at the
time, for the reason that a bill for their
adjustment was about to be voted on in
the Kansas state senate. allowed Muller
to continue 10 open rebellion. Yoster-
day. the bill having been disposed of fav-
orably to the police, they Immediately
swOoped down on Muller. emptIed all his
liquors into the gutter, aud arrested him
and his wife. They were given a trial be
fore Judge Pierce today, when Muller
was fined Sl25 and sentenced to thirty
DAYS in Jail. His wife. who charged the
police with a cheese knife on Monday
night, was fined S25 for assault. This
prompt manner of dealing with would
b~e-saloon keepers and %villliers of the pro-
hibitory law, has put a damper on liquor
men who were about to invade Leaven-

\ PEORIA, Ill, Feb. l3.-Although the
whisky trust people still maintain that
George Gibson is entirely innocent of con-
spiracy to destroy the Shufeldt distillery,
the general public has come to the conclu-
sion that he is guilty. There is great ex-
element at trust headquarters, and agents
are going out on every train to the cities
where the trust members reside. Vice
President Woolner left this afternoon for
Chicago, where be will meet President
Greennut, who is coming home from
Washington. A meeting of the trust
directors has been called for next Mon
day, and interesting action is expected
then. Gibson maintains his doRged
silence, but says he is innocent. He says
the bottle in his valise contained antisep.
tic fluid. patented by the chemist OF the
trust, and he was on his way to sell the
secret of the compound TO a stock COM
pany.
CHICAGO. Feb. l3.-Inspector Stuart
said last night that during a trip to
Peoria last week he discovered where Glib
sons fluid was compounded, and obtained
evidence as to whom 1t was that loaded
the gun barrel. The work was done 10
Peoria by one and the same man-Gibson
himself. Capt. Stuart obtained some OF
Gibson handwriting at Peoria and had
it compared with the letters BY an expert,
who unhesitatingly declared that the tell
tale penmanship was Gibson's.

Parnen Checkmates the m~cCarthvires

Copyrighted, 1891. by N. Y. Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. I3.-It is the general
opinion that the balance of advantage re-
sulting from the Boulogne negotiations
remains with Parnell. Mccarthy aud his
colleagues publicly say that they are salts
fed with their position. Privately they
are indignant at being checkmated by the
tactics of the Parnellites. Their meeting
today disclosed depression and apathy.
Only fifteen members were present, and
they appointed a committee to organize Il
party In Ireland to combat the Parnellites.
The latter say they are rapidly gaining
strength and the whole of the Nationalists
will resume allegiance to Parnell.
The Canadian situation attracts much
attention here, and the government mani
tests great concern in the outcome of the
campaign. 1t is felt that Canada is about
to decide a momentous question affecting
all of the English colonies. The govern.
ment recognizes the fact that active meas
ures are necessary to revive the dropping
trade between Canada and England. Last
year there were only fl2. 000, 600 worth
of Canadian imports. while FROM the
United States England took e79, 900, 900
worth. As n means Of weaving Canada
from any longings after reciprocity or alb
sorption, the government has decided to
back to almost an unlimited extent the
projected mail routes to Japan and
Australia via the Canadian Pa
ciic railway. In connection with
Il, it is proposed to run a
line between a port in the south of
England and Halifax under a government
subsidy and to Immediately proceed to
iortify Esquimault as a first. class naval
station. The new route. it is clsimed,
would effect a saving In time of thirty
hours between England and Chicago as
compared with the New York route.

1t has been in use for more than twenty

have used it, and recommend it-a very

The great success Of our Treatment has
given rise to host of imitators, unscrupu-
lous persons; some calling their prepara-
