COLUMBUS, o., March 12.-The find

pointed by Gov. Mckinley in the case
of the Washington Court House riot
ing and killing by the troops.
was made public Saturday. The
court finds that neither Col. A..
b. Colt nor anyone in responsible
command was under the influence
of liquor in the slightest degree, but
the soldiers were permitted to visit
saloons during the day preceding the
firing, and at least three of them be-
came drunk. This is severely criticised.
The disposition of his troops and the
plan of defense made by Col. Colt are
thoroughly approved, and the severe
measures he finally resorted to to pre-
vent the capture and lynching of the
prisoner, were fully warranted by the
defiant attitude and the repeated as
saults made upon the courthouse.
Col. Colt is, however, criticised for per-
hitting the arms of a company to re-
main stacked and unguarded in easy
reach of the mob. The firing was fully
justified and the crowd had repeated
warnings to dispense. In approving
the finding Gov. Mckinley compli-
mented the troaps for their soldierly
action

Outlaws Roasted.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March IA spe-
cial from Enterprise, I. T., says that
posse in pursuit of two men, who
had stolen band of thirty horses in
the Choctaw nation, followed the
thieves for three days, finally surround
ing them 10 niles east of Hlat place.
Here the thieves barricaded themselves
and defantly proclaimed that they
would not be taken alive. After re-
peated efforts to induce them to give
up the house was set on fire. Still the
men inside refused to come out, al
though the roof was mass of flame.
They still threatened death to any of
the posse who ventured near. At last
the frame of the building fell in, bury
ing the desperadoes in the ruins, and
they were roasted to death in the
burning building.

A Trust BETRAYED.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The alleged de-

Negro Exodus.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March IA spe-
cial from Eutaw, Ala, says: Within
about forty days 500 negroes have
emigrated from Greene county to Mex
leo, and several hundred are now
awaiting arrival of trains to take
them away. They are sacrificing
their mules, horses, cattle, ETC.,
to enable them to go, and renters are
leaving plantations they have leased
for this year. Owing to the late date
other renters cannot be obtained to
make the crop. This means much loss
to the land owners and to the railroads,
as the corn and cotton will not be
grown to freight away.

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
The Grip Almost Won Who're the
Bullet Failed.
Our Sympathies Always Enlisted In the
Infirmities of the Veteran.
(Fron. the Herald, Woodstoek, "a

(From the Herald, Woodstock, Ta.)
There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served in the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi McInturff.
He passed through both these wars with
out a serious wound. The hardships, how
ever, told seriously on him, for when the
grip attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the infirmi-
ties of a veteran without feeling of the
deepest sympathy? His townspeople saw
him confined to his house so FRUSTRATED
with great nervousness that he could not
hold knife and fork at the table, scarcely
able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he
often stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had-but still
he suffered on for four years, and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however, he
was struck by the account of a cure which
had been effected by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way to his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed natural color, and he was soon
enabled to use his knife and fork at the
table. He has recovered his strength to
such an extent that he is able to chop wood,
shock corn and do his regular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able to lift up fifty-two
pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have done for others, but knows that
they have done great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
forms of weakness arising from watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every i'll to
which flesh is heir. The pills are also a
specific for the troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, all forms of weak
ness, chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, ETC., and in the case of men will give
speedy relief and effect permanent cure in
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excuses of whatever nature. They
are entirely harmless and can be given to
weak and sickly children with the greatest
good and without the slightestdanger Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, OF will be sent

says that an imperial edict has been
issued abolishing the use Of the knout

Hitherto the peasantry have been

years 5000 persons convicted of petty

But woe to the sailor who lands at the dock
And offers the people chance TO talk.

They pin you down and they make you stay.
They talk OF the things they have done and

They talk you awake and they talk you to bed.

DEADLY DRUGS.

What DR.. Evans of London and the Late
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes Have Said
Concerning Them.
A great many physicians can discover
diseases and then can't cure them. A
great many Oculists can discover what is
wrong with persons eyes but can't find
remedy for them. When person has
suffered with his stomach for several
years and has persistently doctOred for it
and has not been benefited he declares
that the trouble is not in his stomach at
all, but is in some other organ. And the
physician switches off and is convinced
that the trouble lies in the patients kid
neys. After failure is made in that di-
rection the physician shifts again to the
liver when in fact he does not know at
all where the seat of the trouble is In
the meantime, the patient is being pois-
oned with strong medicines and more in
jury has been done than had he never
consulted a physician. AS DR.. Evans,
Fellow of the Royal college, London,
says: "The popular medical system is a
most uncertain and unsatisfactory system,
1t has neither philosophy nor common
sense to commend it 10 confidence"
And the late DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, of Boston, said: IF the con-
tents of all the drug stores were emptied
into the sea mankind would be better
off"
Has not Prof. SamueIs, who is now at
the Throop hotel, proved to thousands of
people that they don't need so much med
icine in their systems? When a person
is having trouble with his stomach, Prof.
Samuels can cure him. He cures people
without medicine. If you know of any
one who is having spasms Prof. Samuels
will try to cure him. He has done it be-
fore. People who suffer with dizziness
can be cured by Prof. Samuels The
worst kind of headache can be perma-
nently relieved by Prof Samuels no mat
ter how old the person may be. Persons
who experience that tired feeling should
call on Prof Samuels The worst kind
of sore eyes Prof. Samuels cures without
any pain. Ulcers of the worst form are
removed by Prof. Samuels in a short
time. Parents whose children suffer
with weak eyes should not fill their little
systems with drugs. Take them to Prof.
Samuels. He does not believe in the
drug treatment, and neither do the doc
tors themselves. Prof. Samuels cures all
the above troubles entirely through the
eyes.
