Robbed of $500.
ID. K. Cox, a citizen of the county, was
arrested on General Weaver's order and
threatened with death if he failed to pay
Weaver $500. He hadn't the money but
friends of his, among others Colonel S. E.
Rose and Major j. B. Stacy, now chairman
of the democratic executive committee,
helped him pay it.
Major Stacy told me that when Cox was
brought to him under escort, he was in
chains like a common felon, though he had
committed no crime.
AFFIDAVIT OF f R. COX.
Personally appeared before me E. R. Cox,
reputable citizen of our county, who states that
he was in the confederate army during the war,
but that after the he frequently heard his
father, mother and others speak of the above
mentioned facts, and from what he has heard
from said sources he believes said facts
true. e. r. Cox.

Widows Were Not Spared.
MIR. NJ. NJ. Macklin is a merchant of this
place. He served in the confederate army,
and was a notably brave soldier. When
asked if he knew anything about General
Weaver, he said
II should say I did know something
about old Weaver. They say he's coming
here to speak. Well, if he does I'll be one

''My mother, Mrs. Amanda Macklin, was
a widow at the time of the war and as l
was in the army, she was at home alone on
the farm. Weaver robbed her of four
horses, sixty head of hogs and three hum
dred barrels of corn, and when she asked
him for a receipt, he refused to give her
any telling her that she had son in the
confederate army and that was enough.
DR. J. C. Roberts vouches for the truth of
the following incident:
"Weaver took from Mrs. Sarah A. An
thony six mules, three thousand or four
thousand pounds of bacon and six or eight
stacks of fodder Mrs. Anthony was a
widow. She has son in the confederate
army"

Love for him had made her fearless
of the night and the storm. But He
whose love is over all things made her
the instrument of wider good. She
was the means Of his conversion.
Startled and touched by her sudden
appearance and disappearance in the
arms of her father, the little company
of men who had been drinking in the
bar-room went out, one after another,
to their homes. Said one of them, as
he came in full an hour earlier than
he was in the habit of doing, and met
the surprised look of his wife, who sat
wearily sewing-sewing to make up for
what he spent in drink:

woman.

in his tones, this one thing is settled:
Our Jenny shall never search for her
father in a gin-shop on any night, fair
or foul! I'll stop now, while have a
little strength left, and take the pledge
tomorrow"
And he kept his word. He stepped
out of the dangerous path in which his
feet had been treading, and by Gods
grace, which he prayed for, walked
henceforth in the ways of sobriety.
And so there was 10y in another

What is there that is vile that is not

all kinds resorts there, lodges there,
stalks there every hour. Houses of i'll

them; all crimes and all forms of Grim

may find the thief, the murderer. the
pander, the assassin, the anarchist, the
plotter against the home. No form of
infamy, no sort of vice can be found
that does not frequent the saloon. 1t

with all forms of iniquities, it matches
out every day a vile brood of mon
strous offenses against the home, pub

and righteousness. Its progeny is
fraught with peril to all the interests of
society. Profanity. indecency, Sab
bath desecration, infidelity, murder,
theft, disease, fraud, assailment of

A PECULIAR CASE,
Japanese Government Ofhcials on Trial at |
Toxic for Gambling.

Toxic for Gambling.
An extraordinary trial, known as the
judicial gambling case has just come to
an abortive conclusion at Toxic. What
lent unusual interest to the case was
the fact that the defendants accused of
illegal gambling were no minor person
ages, but the president and six Judges
of the supreme court The alleged Of
fense with which they were charged
consisted in playing cards in tea-house
with some of the dancing girls of the
capital for partners. Owing to the high
position of the accused and the fond.
ness of the japanese for euphemisms
the case was known in polite circles as
the Flower play matter" because the
game of cards in which the judges are
supposed to have been indulging was
the japanese game of 'hana-awase," or
"fiower-matching," so called because
the cards bear representations of vari-
Gus kinds of flowers, which have to be
brought into couples by the players,
Owing to the grave scandal occasioned
by such charges being preferred against
the very administers and interpreters of
the law, strenuous efforts were made to
hush the matter up but the accused
judges, especially Judge Kojima Iken,
the president of the supreme court, de-
clared their resolve to have the whole
matter thoroughly sifted. The most
eminent counsel on the Japanese bar
were retained and a special tribunal,
called an admonition tribunal, was
opened in the administrative court for
the purpose of conducting the investi-
cation. The inquiry, which was con-
Quoted with closed doors, has resulted
in the court pronouncing the defend
ants to be beyond the reach of prosecu-
ton.
AS an instance of the extraordinary
excitement caused by the whole affair,
it may be mentioned that the recent
resignat ion by Viscount Tanaka, of the
ministry of justice, was rumored to be
in consequence of the ex-minister con-
s;dering the occurrence of such a scam
dalous incident during his tenure of the
portfolio of justice too disgraceful to be
consistent with his remaining in Office.
