Hedspeth Positively Identified.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 16.-Marion
Hedspeth, the Glendale, train robber,
arrested in San Francisco some days
ago, arrived at st. Louis this morning
with two we'll armed California Off
GERS. AS soon as he arrived he asked
to see his wife. This was granted and
tho meeting between the two was
affecting. Immediately Messenger
Muhennen of the robbed car, Engi-
neer Wagner, Salesman Goodwell and
several persons who lived in the
vicinity of the Swan avenue head
quarters of the gang were admitted
and positively identified him, who
was then placed in cell.
At Clayton today the cases of Adel-
bert d. Slye and Mrs. Hedspeth came
up. Slye pleaded guilty of robbery
in the first degree. Sentence was de-
ferred. Mrs. Hedspeth's case was
continued generally and she was re-
leased on $1,000 bond.

THE 1NEyITARIE MACUNE.
CONGRESS-
At Last Takes Action.

A bill has been introduced at Wash
ington requiring all baking powders
containing alum and ammonia to be
so labeled. This is a step in the right
direction, and has been long fore
shawdowed by the action of the state
legislatures, boards of health, food
commissioners, ETC., in this matter.
The bill affords needed protection to
the public, for the evidence as to the
injurious effects of alum and ammo
MIA is very heavy; but it will never
theless be fought bitterly by the man
ufacturers whom it affects, who are
accustomed to sell the goods as "pure
Cream of Tartar" absolutely pure"
etc.
The bill is something needed. If a
maker uses drug in his powder, the
name of which he does not want to
have printed on his label, it is prima
facie evidence that there is something
wrong. We hope the subject will be
vigorously prosecuted all over the
country, not only as regards baking
powder, bat also all other food adult
erations.
This bill may incidentally benefit
the makers of pure articles, but if it
should, this is only an additional
point in its favor.

TERRIFIC SNOW AND WIND.

TERRIFIC SNOW AND WIND.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-The gales and
snow storm which set in last night
throughout the United Kingdom con-
tiRue today. There has been heavy
fall of snow in London. Last night
the weather was very cold and it so
continues today. The snow has been
frozen into compact mass and traffic
is greatly impeded. In the English
channel the gale is blowing with great
violence. A large number of vessels
fearing they might not be able to
Withstand the fury of the wind or
might lose their bearings and go
ashore in the binding snow storm,
made the mouth of the Thames for
shelter. Steam packet service be-
tween England and the continent is
greatly delayed by the storm. The
air is so thick with snow that it is
scarcely possible to see boats length
ahead and q tremendous sea is sweep
ing up the channel.
A schooner went ashore last night
at Southwold, in Suffoldshire. The
local life boat was soon at the schoon-
er, but it was found impossible to
launch her. The rocket service was
then brought into play, and after sew
eral attempts line was shot across
the wreck. The breeches buoy was
then rigged and the schooner's crew
was landed safely. They suffered
dreadfully from the exposure which
they had been subjected to, for the
weather was bitter cold. In the coun-
ties of Lincoln, Suffolk and Norfolk q
regular American blizzard is prevail
ing. The wind is blowing with a
force seldom equaled. The weather
is intensely cold, and the snow is
driven so fiercely through the air that

horse and her foot catching in the
stirrup was dragged some distance,
her life being saved bya man shoot

and bruised and had one eye knocked
out by the horse's shoe. The other two
girls were also thrown from their
horses, Miss Mcpherson being terribly
cut about the head and Miss Saunders
having her nose broken.

and one of his deputies, for lack or Wig
ilance in the matter of the pursuit of
Cara and his band. 1t has been
freely intimated that the marshal
failed in his duty in the prosecution of
the pursuit. Otherwise the Mexican
revolutionists would not have been
able to elude the American troops
when close ON their heels. Nothing

ment for several days, indicating a
material change in the situation of
affairs along the Rio Grande.
ANTI-oPTIoN DISCUSSION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Mr. j. w.
Laboniste of New Orleans today made
an argument before the senate judi
ciary committee against the bills pre-
venting dealing in options and fu-
lures on cotton. His arguments were
largely the same as those presented to
the house committee ON the same sub
ject. He was followed by the presi-
dent of the New York Cotton EX-
change, who urged that dealing in fu-
lures, instead of being injurious, has
tendency TO steady the cotton mar
ket and prevent extreme fluctuation
in prices. He said if bills of this kind
passed it would have tendency to
drive the business to Liverpool and
other European markets.
QUESTION OF SUBSIDIES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-A resolu-
ton today introduced in the House by
Mr.. Fithian gave warning that that
gentleman is preparing to resume his
fight againt all mail steamship subsi-
dies and appropriations. Immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal
Mr.. Fithian presented the resolution
calling for information as to all con-
tracts under the ocean subsidy law.
The House committee on postotfices
and post roads today adopted Enloe's
resolution with amendment calling on
the postmaster general for all intorma-
ton concerning contracts made under

COURT MARTIAL PAPERS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The papers
in the case of Major Overman, the en-
gineer officer recently tried by court
martial at Cleveland, have been re-
ceived at the war department, being
reviewed by Judge Advocate General
Lieber. They will also be reviewed by
Gen. Schofeld and the secretary of
war in the order named before being
submitted to the president for action.
The impression prevails that deci-

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.
How Roaring, Cracking and Buzzing in the
Ear is Produced.

Ear is frouuced.
The eustahian tubes are small tubes.
about two inches long, leading from
the upper and back part of the throat
to the middle ear. Their uses are to
permit the passage of air inside the
drum head of the ear. An ordinary
drum would be worthless unless a
small hole is made in the barrel to
allow the pressure of air to be equal
on both sides of the drum-head. So it
is with the middle ear; the atmos-
pheric pressure must be equal on
both sides, that the drum-head
(tympanum) shall be sensitive to
respond to the delicate vibrations of
air called sound. If anything hap
pens to obstruct the eustachian tubes
hearing is very much impaired, if not
entirely destroyed. Catarrh of the
throat most commonly follows up
these little ducts to the middle ear,
thickening their mucous lidings so as
to completely or partially close them
up, producing partial deafness. The
roaring and cracking sounds which
catarrh subjects so frequently COM
plain of is due to the spread of the
catarrh to these tubes.
Pe-ru-na is the best, if not the only,
remedy that will cure these cases.
Taken regularly according to the di-
rections on the bottle the symptoms
gradually disappear until complete
cure is the result. In some cases it
takes months to effect q cure, while in
others only weeks are required, as in
the following:
Mr.. Frederick Bierman, of McComb
City, Miss, had chronic catarrh very
badly for many years. The disease
finally passed up the eustachian tube
into the middle ear, and had almost
destroyed his hearing. He has been
taking Pe-ru-na but short time, and
his catarrh is very much better, and
he hears again as we'll as any one.
Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis,
sore throat and pleurisy are all ca
tarrahl affections, and consequently
are quickly cdrable by Pe-ru-na.
Each bottle of Pe-ru-na is accompa-
MED by full directions for use, and is
kept by most druggists. Get your
druggist to order it for you if he does
not already keep it. A pamphlet on

MONTERREY, Mex, Feb. 16.-A grand

ress theater here last night to express
the popular will of the people of the
state of Nueva Leon for the candidacy
of General Porfirio Diaz for reelection

pacity with the most enthusiastic
audience ever witnessed in Monterey.
The principal speech of the evening
was made by Honorable Lie. Davila,
one of the most prominent and influ-
ential citizens of Northern Mexico.
The vast throng of people went wild
with enthusiasm every time Presi-
dent Diaz's name was mentioned. At
the conclusion of the meeting the
crowd marched to the home of Gov
ernor Reyes, to whom they gave an
ovation.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 16.-An-
tonic Delgado was arrested here to-
day upon two charges of felony, one is
for robbery and the other for sending
threatening letters. A few days ago
Delgado wrote in Spanish a letter to
Francesca Cardenas demanding the
sum of $500 in gold and threatening
if the money was not a once forth
coming to kill one of Cardenas'
daughters at an early date. Mr.. Car
denas, however, did not give up a
cent. Others of the same tenor came
in rapid succession, each one threat
ening to do laughter-money or
blood, but still Mr.. Cardenas did not
give up cent. At last Delgado went
to Cardenas in person and threatened
to at once kill him and his daughter
if he did not at once give him some
money. In this manner he succeeded
in extorting two $40 gold pieces from
Cardenas, who afterwards notified
the officers of what had taken place.
Delgado was then arrested by Detec-
tive Hughes and Officers Van Ripper
and Omeara.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 16.-A
sensation was created here today by
the grand jury returning indictments
against County Assessor Louis Huth,
County Judge S. V. McAllister and
County Commissioners Dryer, Mu-
shield, Berner and Jones. They are
charged with misappropriation of
public funds in allowing the assessor
$3.50 remuneration for compiling GER
tain statistics, when under a new law
the legal remuneration is not more
than one half this amount.
1t is claimed by the officials that
their action was misapprehension
and that steps had already been
taken to correct it befor3 the indict-
ment was returned, Assessor Huth
having voluntarily proposed to the
commissioners court to refund the
money.
1t will be remembered that indict-
ments of this character were returned
by the last grand jury against the
city officials, but it is not believed
convictions will result, as there is
much political manoeuvering Incl
dent to all these charges. The in
dicted officials demand immediate
trial and the cases will be taken up
tomorrow in the district court. Mean

ance bonds.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 16.-A
private telegram from Mier, state of
Tamaulipas, Mexico, received today
states that on February 8, the resi-
dence of Enrique Viscarra, the United
States consular agent at that place,
was entered by Mexican military
authorities and searched, upon the
order of General Lorenza Garcia, the
military commander of the northern
zone of Mexico, who claimed to have
received word that Viscarra was
aiding the Cara revolutionary move
ment, and that he had large guam
tity of arms for the revolutionists
stored in his residence. There were,
however, no evidences in support of
the charge found in the house. The
dispatch further states that the con-
sular agent and his family were sub
iected to severe indignities at the
hands of the Mexican troops, and that
Viscarra is under surveillance by Mex
lean officers. There is great indignation
among Vizcarra's many friends at
Mier and along both sides of the bor-
der over the alleged outrageous man
ner in which hehas been treated and
Secretary Blaine has been appealed
to. President piazj has also been in
formed of the facsy in the case and
