WICKLOW.

At the Wicklow assizes, on July 90, JUS
tice Johnson gave his decision on an ap-
plication by Mr.. A. W. Samuels,s @. c..
for permission to traverse the present
ment of f25 made by the grand jury ito
Mrs Pauline Gratan Bellew, for alleged
malicious destruction of barbed wire
fencing, which she had erected across
some OF the approaches to the Dargle, and
which the people had removed. The
judge refused to grant the traverse, on
the ground that the fences were on Mrs.
Bellows private property. Mr.. Barring
ton, who has taken an active part in de-
Tending the public right OF way, made a
strong case against the obstruction. It
was significant that before a tribunal
which would certainly not. be slow to
defend the rights of property, Mrs. Bel

On July % DR.. J. r. Cardiff, coroner
for South Wexford, held an inquest in
the county Jail, touching the death of a
prisoner named James Byrne, who had
committed suicide on the previous Mon.

cutting his stomach open with a piece of

slaughter of his wife, and was sentenced
to Is years penal servitude. The next
morning, at O'Clock, me was found in his
cell with his stomach ripped open in three
places; and he only lived until 6 O'Clock
that evening. Neither the governor of
the Jail nor any of the officials examined
could throw any light as to how he got
the piece of iron with which he killed
himself. Byrne made a statement to
DR.. Cream, before he died, that during the
night his cell was full of little fellows
with red caps, and, when he told them to
go out, one Of them struck him with the
iron and caused the wound. i The jury

On July "a, in the landed estates court,
an estate situated at Carna, County CAL
way, was put UP for sale and purchased
by the congested district board. There
was some very spirited competition be-
tween local intending purchasers and the
board. One of the lots includes the viii
'lage OF Carna, including the site Of the
local Catholic church and the parochial
house. 1t was noticeable that the price
was run up on the board by a single COM
petitor, whose name was not ,divulged.
The object of the board was to anchor
ate the unhappy condition of those UNI
fortunate and poverty stricken tenants
The object of the unknown competitor
seems to have been to make his personal
profit by preventing the benevolent ac-
ton of the board. It is satisfactory to
know that the attempt failed, but the
competition of course enhanced the
price and increased the difficulties of the
board, and diminished the amount Of

IF 1T IS WRONG
Why Is 1t That the Voices of Your Friends and
NeighbOrs
Have for Five Years Been Lifted Up in Praise of the Copeland and shep
ard System and What II is Doing for Cbronic Inyalidsp

Omaha is full of educated family physt-
clans; why is IL that such increasing num-
bCrs of chronic sufferers manifest so
marked a preference for what Is known
rs, the Copeland and Shepard SYSTEM
Why is II that the offices OF these physi-
clans are even moro throngcd today than
when the public, five years ago. felt its
ttrSt enthusiasm over their admirable work.
Here are the reasons; In the first place,
they began years ago to cure many forms
of chronic discusses, including rheumatism
and seated catarrhal maladles which had
been previously regarded as inCurable. Pco-
pie who had become deaf from Catarrh of
the head went to them and were cured.
People who had CoughCd for twenty-five
years from bronchial catarrh or who had
time from catarrhal asthma. or who had
reached the period of night sweats, even
ing fCNerS and wasting cough of chronic
bronchitis went to Drs, Copeland and
Shepard and were cured. People who were
stifened or crippled with rheumatism or
went to thCm and were cured.
These things got to be talked about.
They became a topic. 1t got so that hum
dreds OF cured sufferers, speaking from
their own personal experience. were pri-
vately praising and advertising the ad-
physicians.
Another thing: Drs. COPELAND and
Shepard won public respect Ivy their cour-
ageous determination TO see that the best
resources of medical science shall be made
available to the masses. Instead of taking
enormous foes, they have made the charge
Tor their matChlCSS system of treatment
so low that all can afford it. Their nom
inal fee is made to include all the medi-
cines required, and patients are not per-
mitted to pay more, even where they are
so inclined.

FORT CROOK, Neb., July 1S.-(Special.)-
The Twenty-second infantry. as the second
battalion, Thirteenth infantry, was organ
ICED by direction of the president. May 4,
1861. 1t saw service under General Sher-
man as its colonel, and was designated
the Twenty-second infantry September 81,
1866. The latter part of that year it changed
base from Jefferson Barracks. Mo-, to Fort
Randall, and later to Fort Sully, and since
that date it had not been together until
June 20 last, wlen the Fort Koogh COM
pany arrived. This pleased the members
very much.
The prospective passage of the reorganiza-
tion bill of the army will call for adj
ditional barrack room for four companies
at the fort. This would give a strength Of
7S5 men, not including non-combatants,
hospital corps, etc. Add a squadron OF
cavalry and a battery of light artillery and
it would be par excellence.
Sergeant Henry Stevenson, company G.,
is granted a three-months furlough, dating
from July IT, at the termination of which
he will be discharged. The sergeant was
very popular, both as a non-commissioned
officers and comrade, and will not only bs
greatly missed by the members OF the COM
pany, but by many of the garrison as we'll.
Privates Henderson and Daugherty, both
of company G, went on a three months fur

their furlough they will be discharged.

GOVERNOR JACKSON on MIR. BRYAN.
Iowa Republicans VIII Attend to the
MninritN for Mckinley mM LsmnI.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Ex-Governor Frank
ID. Jackson of Iowa was in the city yester-
day on his way home from the east, where
he has been for about three weeks.
Although confident that Mckinley will
carry the eastern states that have usually
given their electoral votes to the democ-
racy," said he, Il am less certain of those
states than of the result in my own state.
The only chance that Mr.. Bryan has of
carrying any of the eastern states lies in
the fact that he is not known to the people
of that section, and is artfully trying, by
his acts and utterances, to impress the com
mon people with the idea that he is a sort
of heaven-sent champion of their rights.
His demeanor reminds one of the self-Styled
Messiah, around whom the Sioux conducted
their ghost dances several years ago.
I'VE of the west know that Mr.. Bryan is
only a shallow demagogue. so that he can
not fool our people, and | think the
eastern people will also size him up rightly
before the campaign is over. In Iowa the
Germans, who have generally voted with
the democrats since the adoption of prohi-
bition in the state, are coming back to us
in great numbers, and the republican ticket
will poll more German votes in lows than
in any election since 1880.
I'm view of what | know of the intelli-
gence, honesty and patriotism of the Iowa
people, I am satisfied that Mckinley will
carry the state by a majority which will be
absolutely overwhelming
Governor Jackson expects to take an
active part in the Iowa campaign.

NJ. Teller of Colorado there can be no longer

any one, you maintain that position and
make no pledges or promises so that you
may, go into the great office of president
of the United States without the embar-
rassmen that follows pledges and promises,
even If they are such as may be properly
carried out. 1t will afford me pleasure to
place myself at the disposal of the national
committee to make speeches in your be-
half, as my health will permit, where and
when it may think l will do good. | am,
very respectfully, H. NJ. TELLER.
This letter greatly pleased Mr.. Bryan.
When Mr.. Bryan had finished his breakfast
this morning, he turned his attention to the
vast amount of mail that had accumulated
in his absence. There were over 5000 let
tiers to be opened and read, and among the
first to be opened was that from Mr.. Teller.
The letters were taken to Mr.. Bryan's home,
where he and his wife, in their library,
began the arduous task of reading them.
Mr.. Bryan will not attempt to answer all Of
them until he has established Headquarters
and secured a private secretary. He will
only attend to the more important letters.
Mr.. Bryan was frequently interrupted by
callers. Among the gentlemen to call today
was G. F.. Washburn OF Boston, a member
of the populist national committee. and 7.
NJ. Patterson. editor of the Rocky Mountain
News of Denver. Extensive preparations
are being made for the reception of the dele
cations from Colorado, Wyoming and Utah,
who will stop here Monday to pay their
respects to Mr.. Bryan. They will leave for
the st. Louis convention Monday evening.

Mr.. Bryan at once said that he declined to
be interviewed on the political situation,
although he was not averse to describing the
paralyzed condition of his hand. which is
suffering from the last weeks exposure to
the spasmodic grasps of thousands.
In regard to the project to give Lincoln
the go-by in receiving the democratic no.
titication committee, Mr.. Bryan appears to
labor under a delusion that the citizens of
Lincoln have gone over to free silverism
and anarchy, foot. horse and dragons. He
said: II do not see why the people should feel

to be of the greatest advantage to me-.

fer themselves. In other words, | think the

KANSAS CITY. July 1S.-Under a decision
made by Judge Wofford of the criminal court
today, gambling on horse races run outside
of the state may be resumed in Kansas City.
BY virtue of this decision pool rooms which
closed in 1891, when the Stone anti-pool
room law went into effect, will speedily
reopen. Judge Wofford held that the law
which made 1t a felony to make a book or
accent bets except on the course where the
race was run, was unconstitutional because
IT was special legislation, which did not
bear equally ON all citizens, and such spe-
cial legislation is prohibited by the state
constitution.
The decision was made in the cases of Il.
NJ. Bliler, Sam Lewis and Charles Oldham,
who were arrested for keeping a pool roam.
Lawyers say that it Is the first time the
constitutionality of the law has been passed
on in this state, and that the effect OF Judge
Woford's decision Is to throw down the bars
to all people who wish to sell pools on horse
races, and that many pool rooms Will be
opened as a result of 1t.
