Free snverites Arrested.

"A dispatch from Council Bluffs, iowa.
says:
Great enthusiasm because of free sill
yer and freedom in expressing his views
has led to the arrest of Dr.. ]. 1. Pearson,
OF this city. on the charge OF having used
the mails for the purpose of making de-
famatory and incendiary utterances OF
and concerning one Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, and John
Sherman. Senator of the United States.
sDr. Pearson Is u prominent silver advo-
cate and has habit of giving emphasis
to the expression of his views. A few
days ago mis- attention was attrac ted
to clipping in the Nopparen from an
Ottumwa paper, in which 1t was stated
that the government might as we'll re-
coin its $40 gold pieces into $50 pieces as
to make SO cents worth OF silver pass, for
dollar. He wrote a postal card to the
Nonpare!l In reply. He said that the gov
eminent had gone for 40 years coming
silver in the good old way until q mid
night conspiracy of hell-birds, bribed by
gold. worked up a conspiracy that de-
monetized silver.
Then he intimated that Judge Lynch
would make short work of Grover Cleve-
land and John Sherman under certain
conditions. etc.
This was signed by the initials ~. I.
F" and mailed to the Nonpareil. and
brought out an editorial paragraph. I,
also brought out q deputy United States
marshal. Deputy Marshal H!lweg wen,
to Dr. Pearson and asked him IL he did
not want TO make some reply to the
Nonparell editorial The doctor promptly
replied that he did. and then discovered
his mistake and refused to talk further
OF the matter. He would not deny that
he had written the card and would no,
admit that he had written 1t.
BY little sutterfuge he was induced Ia
write another card and the handwriting
corresponded SO exactly with that of the

what 4. the Matter with the star,

The Portsmouth Star very kindly re-
printed In Its editorial columns on the
Sth instant portion of The Virginian's
article on the New York, PHILADELPHIA
and Norfolk railroad land purchase.
We fear, however, the editor in his
comments has lost his bearings and we
confess our Ignorance as to his mean
ing. The article was intended to set
not only the people of Portsmouth and
Norfolk thinking, but also the people all
over the country thinking of the recog-
milton the advantages of this harbor is
receiving at the hands OF the great rail-
ways of the South and West, and give
employment to our people.
Our articles are always open to lust
criticisms. and we hope the Star will
tell us why this article should be COM
mented upon in such an enigmatical
fashion. which surely can only be COM
prehensible to it's editor.

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEuMAs
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Olllahomp,
writes that P. p. p, Lippmun's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered aSopies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid In
his food would put him in torture. He
had consultation Of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. y. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases Of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. p. p. will not make
total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. P, Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the grent cure.
Kidney troubles, If neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. PIP. P. removes
the Irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. p, Lippman's Great Remedy

face of pimples, blotches, frecKles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-01-15

A BARBER who kept cigar store at
one end of his shop found that a goodly
portion Of his stock disappeared during
the night. He watched without avail;
as long as his eyes were upon them the
cigars were safe. AS last resort he
brought a camera just before dark,
focused it on the cigar stand, and so
connected it electrically that when the
latch of the show case was pulled
magnesium light would be flashed and
picture taken. The next day the cigars
were unmolested, but in the camera
there was clearly defined picture of
two boys who lived in the neighborhood,
one in the act Of opening the case and
the other preparing to receive the booty.
The flash had scared them, and they
made off; but they were at once arrested
and sent to prison. An electrician has
designed an apparatus by which he says
he can circumvent the knavish tricks of
the smartest thief, and that between
the eIectic light and the infinite variety
of electrical detective and alarm appl
ances now devised the cracksman's oc-
cupation is virtually gone.

Report of the Indian
 Commissioner.
Satisfactory Progress Made in
 the Schools.
Fondness for Liquor the One Draw back to .he Civilization of
 the Red Man.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-In his annual report to the secretary of the interior, Commissioner Browning says that progress in educating the Indians ds reported very satisfactory in spite of difficulties encountered.
 The enrolment during the year was 23,532, an increase of 315 over the pre- vious year.
 The commissioner urges the pass age of the bill now pending in con- gross to prohibit tihe sale of liquor tt Indians who have become citizens. He says the correspondence in his office shows that the Indians in the wes who have received allotments became demoralized by the liquor traffic.
