ARGUED SUCCESSFULLY.
Special Examiner Waite Gets or with
$3.50 Fine.

$3.50 Fine.
CREsCo, Ia, June 2t The motion for q
new trial in the case of Special Exam
liner K. +. Waite of the pension depart
ment, convicted Of intimidating a wit
ness In the celebrated VanLeuven investi-
CATION. was denied by the court The
penalty under the law is not TO exceed
two years in the penitentiary, or not to
exceed $500 fine. Before sentence was
passed there was very dramatic Incl.
dent Waite arose and in very quiet
but impressive way asked the court to
impose on him the extreme penalty Of
the law II the court believed him guilty.
He prides himself upon his good name
and this sentence would leave q stain
upon 1t. no matter what It might be.
Hence, he asked of the court either COM
plete vindication or the severest penalty.
His dignifled and touching appeal
brought tears to the eyes Of more than
one spectator. The court fined him $3.50.
The case has been appealed. 1t is felt by
the pension bureau that an effort to con-
Wet Waite on the part of the state courts
Of Iowa is really an attack on the bureau
brought about by friends of Van Leuven.
Waite refuses to talk until he Is directed
to speak by United States Commissioner

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June "a
Amanda Black, the l6-year-old daughter
of an Amble, Montcalm county farmer,

then lying down upon the railroad track

her TO town to sell a basket of eggs. She
sold the eggs, bought ticket for Lake

US of the Detroit Choral society, number
ing $50 of the best singers in the city, re-
fused TO sing rebel songs. 1t S arted with
Hail Columbia" and "S.ar Spangled

Dixie" and Bonnie Blue Flag" When
the music struck Dixie" only few
voices responded and when Bonnie Blue
Flag" was reached there was dense ST.
lence. The instructor looked surprised
until one of the male singers explained
angrily that the chorus refused 10 sing
rebel songs and regarded it as an imposi-
ton to ask them.

THE OWEN ELECTRIC BELT AID APPLIANCE Co.:
GentIemen-Soely in the interest of others
who are, or may become similarly affected with
myself, i venture to offer my experience with
the use Of the owen Electric fselt, and that
am actunted entirely by that motive, must be
apparent from the fact that until you see my
name and address recorded on this letter you
had no knowledge OF either. had long been a
sufferer from chronic dyspepsia and nervous
prostration, contracted or aggravated by many
years residence in the East Indies. About three
years ago purchased one Of your Belts in the
hope that its use might afford me some relief,
and wore &c continuously as directed for about
four hours every afternoon for month or so,
and the result war perfectly marvellous. Ny
indigestion with all its attendant miseries, ner-
vousness, depression irritability and insomnia,
from which latter was a great sufferer, have
disappeared. then discontinued the use the
Belt (the existence OF which had indeed for.
gotten) until about six weeks ago, when a
recurrence Of my old trouble very forcibly
reminded me of It, ] again put IL into wear
(after ceasing It's use for over one and one-half
years), and with the same extraordinary results,
being again restored to health, strength and
vigor, after wearing 1t for only ten days. Under

had long been aware OF the curative powers OF
electricity from what had read on the subject,
and on my return TO England purchased from
Pulvermaoher of Regent street, London, the
combined chain bands, Of which he is the
patentee, for which / paid three guneas, and
although / must admit that derived some
benefit from their use, / am bound to say the
general result did not approach the benefit
derived from the use OF the owen Belt,
besides which it's utility is so great an improve
ment in comfort and convenience; Pulver-
machers' being cumbersome and complicated In
adjusting TO the body, besides causing from
being uncovered, blisters and Sores and above
all not being able to regulate the current as is
the case in the owen Electric Belt. You
are at perfect liberty to make what use you
think fit OF this letter, and shall be glad to

made from me on this subject 1 am, gentlemen,

Comptroller Smiths letter is dated An

al am in receipt of your letter OF the stu

I'M III, III OHCI - IyH1 Il ILt VI LcNDA
ANCE
IL Is seldom that such unquestiOned good
arises out of things maniiestly evil as is dis
PLAYED In the manly and straight forward
lester of acceptance which Mr. Hurst has
presented for the consideration OF the people
of Maryland. There is directness and force
pervading its entire make up that leaves no
room to question the faith of the man or his
purpose to manifest 1t In works. So forcefu
and unequivocal is ii that no drearier shadow
of the abnormal condition OF public senti
ment could be presented than the undis-
guised incredulity with which many of our
friends are disposed to receive ii. AS man
of affairs, Mr.. Hurst's record is as clear as
his business career is correct His word is
his bond in all the relations of private lie,
and no one who knows him would stultiiy
himself by questioning it. Thata glance OF
mstrust should greet it is proof rather that
we have fallen on perilous times than that
there is any justification of the mistrust.-
The man who is true in most things is apt
one, is generally false in all. Mr. Hursts
career has untitled hun for double, dealing.
That is a resort he feels no need OF, even in
politics We deem il fortunate that such
character has come to the front, and this we
say in iull depreciation OF the emergency
that coerced it. II any man can lay claim
to the Spartan firmness that pervades the
letter, John E. Hurst is that man. Our peo
pie can accept his manly declarations in full
confidence that they stand as eminently
characteristic Of the man. What Mr.. Hurst
has done In the past, he makes no effort to
conceal, even from the eye of disapproval.
What he will do 10 the future ought to need
no more clear earnest of his purpose than
the fact that he who never stopped to lie or
palter would find 1t unnatural TO begin II
now. OF course, we should have preferred
another nominee and would have preferred
Mr.. Hurst nominated by methods less OBJ
jectionable, but it is due TO the man, due to
the party whose standard bearer he is, with
out his solicitation, due TO truth, due To that
high veal that only Democratic principles
can youchsafe, to take him at his word. and
putting our trust in the manliness OF his
manifesto, grid his loins with the endorse
ment of party which in its palmest days
preferred principles before men, and never
yet has discounted true manhood or failed
TO recognize genuine merit What John 4.
Hurst says is true. What John E. Hurst
promises, that he will as surely do as that
the Democratic party, in full fruition Of his
pledges, gives him the opportunity.
