Officials in the United States m%arshars

in summoning Indiana witnesses for one Of
the most famous pension cases on record.

William Hubby. is the man to be tried for
fr~audulently obtaining q small pension.
and il will cost the government
almost $40. 900 to convict him, if
1t even succeeds in so doing. There arc
over five hundred witnesses. some of whom

$50 witnesses who will swear positively
that the man under whose name the PEN

and buried on the field. To further
strengthen Its case, the government bring ga
seventy-tive witnesses from Nashville,

varisd cross swearing at the trial. One OF
the government witnesses from the Pike
county p%oorhouso will swear that Benton
at one time was an inmate of that institu-

produced. The identity of the man on

Chicago to meet the officials of the New

Early yesterday morning q young man
giving the name of Frank Williams drove
q horse and buggy into Galbreadth's
livery stable. on College avenue. and Of
fered TO sell the turnout cheap. a peculiar
move on the part of Williams led the liv-
cry man TO suspect something wrong and
he notified the police. Officers Colbert and
Wheeler looked up Williams and after
hearing his story arrested him on tie fugi-
tive charge. The prisoner on first ques-
tioning stated that he lived at Kokomo

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.
It's 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,
lispelling 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.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
nfactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not

Early Treatment of smallpox.

1t was several years ago that Gala
vardin drew the attention of French
practitioners to the advantages of treat
ing smallpox according to the plan or
igionally suggested and carried out by
John of Goddesden and Waters. The
treatment in question consisted simply
in keeping the patients absolutely
away from all solar light and this solar
darkness had to be from first to last
complete and uninterrupted, otherwise
no beneficial results could be looked
for. The same authority has recently
published the results of his experience
with this method covering period OF
some sixteen years, showing that II
this plan be carried out the great ad-

of suppuration, and, in consequence,

MUSCAT AND ITS PALACE.
Where Criminals Are torn TO Pieces

outwardly the resemblance to Alden
is kept up as you approach Muscat.
The same canoes came alongside, which
naked niggers propel with gsyly col
ored paddels; the same long row of
white houses line the shore, but unlike
Alden, Mnscat has fertile valleys in the
hills behind. There is the valley called
Paradise with its palms and gardens
and refreshing shades the result of ir-
rigation, and wells worked by slaves
and bulloeks in the Indian fashion
namely, by sloping path, so that when
the bullock and niger descend the
bucket comes up.and when the bullock
and niger ascends the bucket goes
down. Not far from Muscat is the
green mountain. celebrated still for its
VINEYARDS and its wine. From here
it is surmised that the Portuguese
brought the parent stock of those fine
vines which we call Muscatel.
You land on an uninteresting. dirty
beach, with some old cannon of the
Portuguese period peeping out of their
sandy graves. The coolest and best
house in the place is occupied by the
British resident and the British post
and telegraph establishment. II is
point which gets what breeze it can
from two seas just underneath the
southern fourt. The second best house
is the imam's palace. but before we go
to see him let us say word about that
curious title imam and the present
owner of it.
Originally the ruler of Oman was a
sort of priest king. Imam literally
meaning priest, for in olden days the
men of Oman were called outsiders"
by their Mohammedan brethren be-
cause they recognized their own chief
solely as the head of their own relig-
ion. This is why they called him their
imam or priest and king, like Melchis-
edek, to whom, oddly enough, in the
Koran is given the same title. Imam
Saeed did not like this title at all. He
preferred to have name which would
put him more on a footing with other
sovereigns, so he called himself the
sultan of Oman, which title his success
,sors also assume. But somehow or an
other the people like the old title OF
imam best and stick to it.
Sultan Tourkee died few years ago
and with his death came on again the
usual succession trouble. He had
always educated his second son, Fay
sui, to succeed him, his eldest son
Mohammed, being mere negro by ar
African slave mother and totally with
out education, so that his claims to tn,
throne were Of no account. He causes
: no difficulty, but lives next door to hi
, brother, Sultan Faysul, in the enjoy
= ment Of pension Of 5000 month.
: The palace is entered by a formid
able looking door decorated with larg
spiked bosses Of brass. This open
into small court in which is cor
tanned the most imposing sight of tn
| place-namely, the lion in his cage I

criminals of the deepest dye to be d,
