Punishment Postponed.

Owing to the fact that the murder
trials, now in progress before the
courts of the Choctaw nation, have
consumed much more than the allotted
time, the punishments by whipping,
which were to have been administer
ed yesterday, have been postponed. A
date vii be set by the judge when the
termination of his docket is within
view, it being the custom to execute
such sentence after the work Of the
court has been concluded. This evil
IDENTIFY will place the whippings some
time next week. 1t is now anticipated
that the woman sentenced to thirty
six lashes at the post for adultery will
escape that punishment, she and her
paramour having acknowledged their
guilt, expressed regret at such disobe-
dience of the law and propose to
amend matters by marriage ceremo-
ny. This, it is thought, will meet
with judicial clemency. Several 9th
er couples charged with similar
crimes await trial.
The case Of the nine Indians indict-
ed for murder is still pending with
the prospect that four of them will be
released and five be convicted Of man
slaughter, with whippings as the pen
atty. The court has designated Fri
day, July IA, as the date upon which
the five men convicted Friday shall
be shot.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Silver Men Uneasy.

The silver men Of the country are
becoming very much excited over the
apparent progress Of President Cleve-
land in winning over TO his side cer-
tain members of Congress in his adj
vocacy Of the repeal Of the Sherman
silver law. II is said that beadquar-
ters are to be established in Washing
ton by the white metal people from
which silver literature will be sent out
and in other ways strong fight made,
This story receives weight from the
fact that the silver people already
have lecturers on the road. One Of
them was In Washington week or SO
ago and hired hall and delivered q
lecture on the production Of silver and
its value as q money metal. He made
the lecture attractive by stereopticon
views. The silver people feel that The

ANOTHER HOTEL DISASTER.
The fremont at Ft. Scott, Kan, Col
lapses with One Hundred Guests.

The startling news of another hotel
disaster has just been flashed over the
country. This time Fort Scott, Kan,
is the scene of the catastrophe, the
details of which are as follows:
AT $50 o'clock yesterday morning
the fremont Hotel, one of the oldest
and most popular hosteries in Fort
Scott, without a moments previous
warning collapsed, carrying down
with ii more than one hundred in
mates. The hotel was four-story
structure. The disaster was caused
by the giving way of the eastern wall
which collapsed, bringing down the
entire building, and it is believed,
causing a number of deaths. Twen-
ty-seven people had been rescued in a
more or less injured condition up to
latest reports. Two of the above
number are fatally hurt Weak and
defective walls caused the collapse.
The fremont hotel was an old
brick structure located on Wall street
Its capacity was so rooms. Recently
commercial travellers have made
headquarters there.
The body of a young woman
crushed to pieces has been recovered.
Three men fatally injured have been
taken out. The entire fire depart
ment and hundreds of volunteers are
at work among the broken timbers
and are stimulated in their efforts of
rescue by the cries of the wounded in
the debris.
The ground floor Of the hotel was
occupied by stores, many of which
were filled with customers. 1t was
believed at noon yesterday that the
death list would reach 20.
At 8 O'Clock all but four of the 100
who went down with the hotel had
been accounted for.
The walls still standing are totter-
ing, and it is impossible to ascertain
the exact loss of life. The confusion
Is so great that the names Of the miss
ing cannot be learned. The injured,
as far as known, are; Day Clerk
Hardy, still unconscious; Ensie Cald-
well, of Kincaid, a female employe;
Ida Morgan, chambermaid Altman
Woodlands was in the dining room
and was badly hurt.

A Chance for Health

Is afforded those fast sinking INTO a
condition of hopeless debility. The
means are at hand. In the form of a
genial medicinal cordial, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters embodies the COM
bined qualities of a blood fertilizer
and depurent a tonic and an alterna-
tive. While itpromotes digestion and
assimilation, stimulates appetite, has
the further effect of purifying the life
current and strengthening the
nervous system. AS the blood grows
richer and purer by its use, they who
resort to this sterling medicinal agent,
acquire not only vigor, but bodily sub
stance. A healthful change in the Sc
cretions is effected by it, and that suro
and rapid physical decay, which a
chronic obstruction of the functions
of the system produce, is arrested.
The prime causes of disease being re-
moved, health is speedily renovated
and vigor restored.

face of the sea. 1t was almost instan-
taneous. Those on deck were plung-
ed Immediately into the water. The
men forward and below had no time
to rush to the deck but found them
selves grouping for doors of rooms
filled with Water and compressed air.
There was little more time for those
in the officers quarters. They heard
the shouts and warning cries and
rushed to the almost perpendicular
deck
The ships officer Capt. Jelly, who
was in bed, seriously i'll, was saved by
the gallantry of young lieutenant,
who, at the risk of his life, rescued
the Captain from certain death.
As the vessel sank the screws came
nearer and nearer to the water and
descended into the midst of the strug-
Cling human beings. The vessel sank
slowly and when the screws were low
enough to begin to whirl in the water
again, the suction had increased until
it was almost maelstrom. AT the
bottom of this maelstrom the screws
were revolving like circular knives.
The poor creatures battled in vain
against the suction. They were
drawn down and thrown against the
swift blades.
Then came a scene which made the
officers ON the decks of the other war;
ships of the fleet turn away sick with
horror. Screams and shrieks arose
from the white foam and then head
less trunks were tossed ont Of the
water to linger a moment on the sur
face and sink out of sight.
An in reach of that vortex lost their
presence of mind Men who knew
how to swim ceased swimming and
fought with the waters. Men clutch
ed each other in frenzy and struck
each other Off The deep cone of
whirling water with the swift knives
chopping human bodies to pieces at
the bottom of it was horror to
daunt the bravest.
The details of the scene which here
followed are wholly indescribable, ap-
palling the stoutest hearts of those
who were called upon to witness and
relate them. The very waves of the
sea seemed to become agents of the
destroying angel, dealing death from
their snowy crests. For q few mo-
ments the cruel steel of the whirling
knives, now crimson with the life
blood of scores Of victims, cleaned
with an angry glare in the sunlight
and then sank with the ship beneath
the surface of the crimsoned sea.
Then there was a muflled sound of
thunder the waters were tossed up
and steam burst from them Again
came shrieks and screams burst from
the swimmers who were beating the
waves of the scalding water Thus in
less than ten minutes death in these
awful forms attacked officers and
crew. Death by drowning, knife-like
screws and scalding water
There were many acts of heroism.
