The trial of George Hufnagle which was
before the court on Thursday of last week
when we went 10 press, ended on Friday
afternoon by verdict Of acquittal. The
evidence in the case tended 10 show that
on the eth day of October last, William
White and Bert Eyer were in Nicktown
and were starting out in cart to look for
Eger's pocket-hook which had been lost,
when Thomas Burke asked them to take
him along. They went as far as Hufna-
glc's, where they stopped. Hufnagle is an
old German, about 80 years OF age, and
keeps little grocery at cross roads,
about two miles south of Nicktown.
While there Burke pulled out pint bottle
of whiskey and wanted glass from the
old man. Hufnagle handed him glass
when Burke demanded another, and
grabbing the one, hauled back and said:
Il wouldn't stop much and knock your
id old brains out" He was quieted
by White and Eyer, when he called for
oysters and crackers and afterwards refus-
ed to pay for them, and behaved in bad
and diSorderly manner. When White and
Eyer were about leaving, without Burke,
Hufnagle requested them TO take Burke
away with them. They did so, takin him
ABOUT tnftc-quarlcfS OF nlllc away, "heIc
they left him on the road. Some time in
the afternoon, Burke returned TO Hufna-
gle's and was very diSorderly. Hufnagle
had repeatedly requested him to go out and
he refused to do so. Hufnagle finally got
his revolver and threatened 10 snoot him
if he did not 60 Burke still persisted in
remaining when Hufnagle snapped the re-
volver but it failed to go off. He snapped
il again and it went off, the bullet striking
Burke in tho forehead, from the effects OF
which he died at the home of his father in
Strongstown on the Goth day of October
The jury was evidently of the opinion
that Burke himself was TO blame for the
shooting, ii having also appeared in the
evidence that he had frequently been at
Hufnagle's and was quarrelsome and
disordcrly when there.

A, at,a,lsudl offer
the one that's made by the propri-
etors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's a reward of $500 for an incura-
bic case of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,
till you've tried DR.. Sage's Remedy.
What's incurable by any other
means, yields to that. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it cures the worst cases,
no matter of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's a risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors are willing to take it.
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present At
once.

How much commission DO you I5;5Sr,.~

asked an indignant patron of Laundry
the other day. What do you mean?"
asked the proprietor in concilitary tone.

"Of course. people IN your business are not

enjoy. Come, now, tell me what your COM

smashed fifty collars and nearly as many

months, and that is no Joke | buy the

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, June 5.-The
Mettman murder trial was resumed at 9
O'Clock this morning Johanna Benson,
wife of the prisoner; John Mettman, Ber-
tina Foster, Threkla Foster and Henry
Mettman were examined as witnesses.
Benson sat still all the morning With his
chin high in the air and his eyes on the
witness stand. He moved his eyes only
once and that was while his wife was tes-
tifying, and then he dropped them, and
with his chin resting on his breast, his ac-
tions were really pathetic. He seemed
thoroughly cowed from a sense of shame.
He never faced the woman once while she
was in the court room.
The evidence introduced today added no
new facts to those already known regard
ing the case. 1t is said tonight that both
Benson and Mrs Rautzahn will make Il
confession concerning the murder and that
other arrests will follow. The confession's
prime object will be to show that the muir
der was not committed on the fort reser-
vation but on ground in the staue's juris-
diction This will take the case out of
the United States court and into the state
court Should conviction follow in the
latter court, the death penalty will be
avoided by reason of the peculiar state
criminal law.

EMMA MASSEY.
q N DORSFTT

&. N. DORSETT. EMMA MASSEY.
Dorsett, one of the prominent business men
of the town, left his wife and children
without explanation, and inquiry showed
that he had gons to join Mrs. Massey in
Florida.
Then. for the first time, came out the
particulars of disgraceful ENHANCEMENT.
Colonel Dorsett was the administrator of
the estate of Mrs. Massey's husband, and
as such had excuse for prolonged inter
views with her. 1t is thought the woman
obtained such an influence over him that
he was compelled to consent to her pro-
posal for an elopement. Dorsett's domes-
tic relations were pleasant, and his wife
hlames Mrs. Massey for the trouble Mrs.
Dorsett and Mrs. Massey were deskmates
at school, and were very friendly in after
life.
Before leaving Douglasville Dorsett real
lied considerable money from his business
affairs His wife and children were left
with few resources. Mrs. Massey also de-
serted two children, one boy of six years
and the other girl of four. 1t is believed
the guilty couple have fed the country.
Some of Dorsett's friends predict that he
will soon tire of his unlawful alliance.
They say he has no belief in hereafter,
and that he will put an end to his existence
when remorse oyertakes HIM

The People of Terra del Fuego.

In Terra del Fuego the women carry the
burdens while on the march, prepare the
camps, keep the fires going and take care
of the children. In preparing their habi-
tation they dig circular excavations about
six feet in diameter and a foot and half
in depth, usually on the side of a hill.
Around the excavations they stick poles,
upon which they place the tent, made of
the skins of animals. Over the floor they
scatter dried grass. The upper part of the
tent is wholly open. Each of these little
habitations shelters a family of three or
four persons, who nestle together like a
litter of puppies.
The people are nomad race. They are
frequently on the move, leaving one place
as soon as the game there becomes scarce.
For this reason the country is marked by
the sites of old tents. The people are very
much afraid of white men if they come in
considerable force, but if their numbers
greatly exceed the whites who visit them
they are very impudent, and are likely TO
be hostile.
They are not anthropophogists, rs has
been asserted. The fact that they are in
the habit of burning the bones of the ami
mails they eat probably gave rise to the re-
port that they indulge in human flesh.
One camp of the Onas communicates
with another by fire. Using the roots Of
plants as torches, they are able to cemmu-
nfcate with one another for long distances
in the night time. There are no trees and
very few shrubs in the northern part of
the island. The quadrupeds are also few
in number, but there is large variety Of
birds.-Chicago Times.

THE MoHoNK CONFERENCE.

LAKE MoHoNK, y. Y. June 5.-At the
session of the Lake Mohonk negro confer
ence today Rev. A. L. Phillips, south
ern delegate. made a speech in favor of the
education of the negro. President Wood
worth, OF TOulagoo university, Mississippi.
read a valuable paper on the economic
condition of the colored people in Missis-
sippi. The president of the conference
Hon. Rutherford B. Hayes, spoke in favor
of national education. The conference at
the closing session adopted the following
recommendations.
First-The accomplishing of the educa-
tion of the negro by the states themselves
Second-Largely increased support of
schools, aided by private beuevolence.
Third-The grounding of teachers and
preachers in the common English studies
and in the English Bible, with the fur
ther opportunity for any of them 10 carry
on their studies as far as they may desire.
Fourth-The greatest extension of in
dustrial education.
tlfth-Encouragenent of the secondary
schools established, maintained and con-
Quoted by negroes

other distinguished southeners long before

The Grafton of Walthall was therefore
much more than a declaration of opinion
by one man. It was something to which
the ex-Confederates intend to point IN
future, to say to the north: 'This is just
what we believe and what we propose to
insist upon"
The ranking of Robert E. Lee above
George Washington was not the hasty ex-
preston of public speaker carried away
by the enthusiasm of the hour. To forget
the past is just what these frank declara-
tions insist must be done. The appeal for
the cherishing of the memories OF the war
period was very earnest. From this ora
tion OF WalthalPs northern people will get
an estimate of the real southern sentl-
ment Of today. It will be a revelation to
many IN some respects. 1t is the fraukest
and most deliberate expression which has
come from a southern leader since the
war. That southern people sustain the
justice of their lost cause, while loyal at
heart to the government or today, may
seem ineomprehensible to the north, but
Mr. Walthall says of the south:
I'VE can love the Union and still delight
to dwell upon the course Of those who are
faithful to the Union now az they were to
the southern cause. The south was right
in secession, it believes, but now it is loyal
to the Union
That in brief was the formal declaration
made at Jackson on jeff Davis day, and
the north is notified that the position is
the one the south proposes to occupy IN
future.

THE BRIGGS CASE

NEw YORK, June 5.-The directors of
Union Theological seminary have met and
have declared their position on the ques-
tion of the right of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church to veto the
transfer of Charles A. Briggs from the
chair of Hebrew TO the chair of Biblical
theology. They passed a resolution at
their meeting this afternoon, stating that,
after having taken legal advice, and after
due consideration, they see no reason to
change their views on the subject of the
transfer of DIR. Briggs, and feel bound. in
the discharge of their duties under the
charter and constitution of the seminary,
TO adhere to the same.
The intent of the veto passed by the gen.
eral assembly was that Dr. Briggs should
cease to be a professor in the Union Theo-
logical seminary. The effect of the reso-
luton given above is that it is the iudg-
ment of the directors that the veto was a
usurpation of powers never given or in
tended TO be given TO the general assembly:
and that, since the veto was illegal, the ap-
pointment stands, and DR.. Briggs will con-
tinue as professor during the coming year.

the taxes of the county the Alliance had it

lance members were in favor of an in

of the board they were induced to put the

Indignation to go up from the citizens

the Alliance commissioners is generally
