POISONED BY ORANGES.
The Frozen Florida Article Causes
Sure Death,


New CASTLE, Ind, March q
Carrie, the 4-year-old daughter Of
VIM. Williams, is dead from the
effect Of eating frozen oranges.
Physicians here and elsewhere in
the state say that during last
month they have had patients
whose symptoms indicated unusu-
al kind OF poisoning. In all such
cases the attacks were found to
have been caused by eating frozen
oranges. In commenting upon
this death an old doctor said the
health authorities Of every village,
town or city should see that strict
measures are taken to destroy the
thousands of boxes of frozen
oranges that have been shipped
all over the country from Florida,
since that region was devasted.

The Federal Judge Reached Behind
the Returns and Grabbed
Than

FORT SMITH, Arkansas, March
2.-Judge john |. Williams, OF the
Little Rock Federal court, granted
judgements against the City Of
Humboldt, Kansas, for 1852, 1000, and
issued attachments for the arrest
Of the mayor. W. ID. McElToy, for
contempt Of court.
Humboldt has about three thous.
and inhabitants. Many years ago
the town voted bonds for the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroad.
When they were due the city re-
pudiated them and has for fifteen
years avoided collection by dis
solution of the municipality. The
people have annually elected reg
ular officers. The officers persist
emily failed to qualify, to avoid
service in the collection, but they
served and were recognized by the
people. The judge held that the
service upon the mayor and City
Treasurer John Johnson was valid
and they will be punished for ig-
noring it.
Peter A. Jackson held a claim Of
Sl5,4lO and Richard f. Dow Of
Boston, held a claim for $4,000.
Upon the failure Of the mayor and
treasurer to appear, the Judge in.
structed the jury to find for the
plaintiffs.

THE ORIGINAL BLIND TOM.

THE ORIGINAL BLIND TOM.
Who has not heard Of Blind
Tom, the great negro wonder in
the musical line? But 1t is far bet
ter to have heard him than to have
heard Of him. He is an idiot, and
as black as negroes can be pro-
duced. He was given but one tall
ent and that the gift Of music.
That one gift has made Blind Tom
since early boyhood one Of the
wonders of the world. Blind Tom
will appear in the opera hall here
to give an exhibition OF his Won
derful skill in manipulating the
piano. No one should miss
chance to hear this great and mys-
terious musical wonder, for they
will never forget the strange and
pleasing effect Of his performances.
We are not speaking here for Blind
Toms managers, but for our
readers who have not heard this
mysterious fascinating musical
wonder.

O'Connor is all Right.

Representative O'Connor is on a
visit to his home. He seems we'll
satisfied with his efforts to serve
the people. Mr.. OConnor voted for
and advocated the constitutional
amendment requiring that foreign
nrs complete their United States
citizenship before being eligible to
vote. He says that the loss of the
amendment by one vote was mis-
hap as few days delay would have
made its passage certain. In this
matter Mr.. O'COnnor is fully en-
dorsed by his constituents.
Mr.. O'Connor's convict labor bill
is the measure he mostly prides
himself on. The bill has been re-
ported by the committee unani-
mously, and Mr.. O'Connor expects
to secure its passage.
The reporter, after general run
ming conversation, asked him how
about his metropolitan police bill?
Mr.. O'C.-"I will introduce the
bill next week, and expect to push it
through before final adjourn
The provisions are similar to the
regulations in the larger cities OF
the country. | expect to have this
bill passed, as it meets no objec-
ton from any source"
Mr.. orc. is very cheerful and tells
the "boys" to come and see him,
and he will do anything for them
they want done.

Statesmen out of Jobs.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Ihe
melancholy fate OF ex-senator j. j.
Ingalls,, of Kansas, self.styled "a
statesman out OF job" will fall
upon four other public men on
Monday, when, with the closing Of
the Lilo Congress, Senator Rich
ard Coke, of Texas, and Represen-
tatives Richard p. Bland, of Mis-
souri,, w. S. Holman, Of Indiana,
and William NJ. Springer, OF Illi-
nois, will leave the National forum
where for decades their voices have
been heard on the great questions
OF the day. 1t is sad comment
AIRY on devotion to public duty
that long service for the Republic
units able men for the responsible
tiles Of private life. None Of this
retired quartet will find a smooth
path before him.
Senator Coke since his first ap-
pearance in the Senate away back
in 1877, has never yielded to the
demands of modern civilization
and preserves in all ruggedness his
hearty love Of Texas ways and
things. So much of his time has
been given to public questions that
he is far from having com peten-
cy. AS jurist he ranks high, and
for such a person there is always a
vacant place in the admiration Of
Texans, who love man who has
Blackstone at his tongues end.
Some of the silver about which
Mr.. Bland has so often raised his
voice has stuck to him in his busy
rush through life, and he will
leave the House with a comfortable
income, one not so large, however,
as not to require the necessity OF
careful business handling. He
entered the House in the Mild
Congress.
BY an ironical stroke Of fate Mr..
Holman will leave public life a
comparatively poor man, although
his vigilance in defending the gov
eminent from appropriation raids
has gained him the sobriquet OF
the "watchdog OF the Treasury"
Mr.. Holman has had the longest
service of all. having been a mem
Der OF the NNNNIth Congress.
Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer is called
the "War Horse of the SangamOn,"
on account of his noisy and turbu-
lent attitude on several great pub
lie questions of the day. His
record in Congress begins with the
FOrty-fOurth Congress, and he has
been reelected to every succeeding
Congress until the last. His long
experience has given him impOr-
tant chairmanShips, among the
most notable of which was that of
the committee of ways and means
during Speaker Crisp's first term.
He was a candidate for speaker,
and when Crisp was elected he APP
pointed Springer chairman. Mr..
is a lawyer, but his prac-
tice has suffered by his public
career.

Tom Eek. the famous trainer of cy-
clists. is at his home in this city. after
a trip to New York. where he first
learned Of the suspension of John S.
Johnson. the star performer of his rae
ing team. Johnson is accused of having
disposed of some of his prizes and of
falling to appear at the Baltimore and
W1lkesbarre race meets last season.
Mr.. Eek says that he can produce any
prize that Gideon may ask for. and as
for failure tc appear at the above
meets. he has evidence to show that
the crack racer was delayed owing to
poor transportation service.
Continuing. Mr.. Eek said: Gideon
imagineS that he has done a mighty
clever thing. but that is where he will
get fooled. Why does he pick Johnson
out from the class B riders to make an
example? He is guilty of fewer vio-
lations OF the rules than any other man
who travels the circuit, but the chair
man has vented his spite on MIN for
some unaccountable reason.
johnson will not be downed by a
suspension. Plans are alread in pro-
Rress that will demonstrate fully
whether he is the great attraction in
the cycling line in America today, as /
know him to be. Chairman Gideon
may suspend him or expel him. but he
cannot prevent him from riding. Mel

Could he not give exhibition miles to

mand his appearance on the circuit :?
Does he not draw larger crowds for the

rider living? These questions any man
who pays attention TO cycling can
answer.

his government, announcing the arrival
at Corinto of two British warships with
the expressed purpose Of enforcing the
demands contained in the British ulti-
matIm-
Just how this is to be done, the min

now are Nicaragua will offer a passive
some time at least, and meanwhile the
United States will do nothing but await
the developments of events unless the
British take some action that affects our
interests. such as interfering with our
shipping or other interests of American
citizens. This attitude is assumed in
the full confidence that no attempt will
be made by the British to secure any
Nicaragua territory, no matter what
course she may be obliged to pursue TO
accomplish her purpose of collecting the
smart money demand for the expul-
sion of Vice-Consul Hatch. There is
reason to believe not only the Near
