NEWSPAPER TALK
About the New Bond Loan.


NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-The Times
says regarding the new government
bonds: There is much newspaper
guesswork and rumor more or less
disquiet as the time approaches for
the preparation OF bids, but bank
ers give them little attention. One
newspaper which hailed the sue
cess of the loan when the Morgan
syndicate was dissolved makes the
discovery now that it may not be
overwhelmingly successful. The
fault is laid with the president for
issuing thirty day call, with the
senate for its silver propensities
and with the Deutsche bank, which
Is said to have been frightened Off.
The fact, in relation to the Deutsche
bank, is that it was ready to put
$25,000,000 into the Morgan syndi-
cate, and it has not indicated it's
readiness to do anything else. 1t
Is certain, however, that some of
the syndicate subscribers will bid
for the amount of bonds they pro-
posed to take through Mr.. Morgan,
that bids will be forwarded on be-
half Of interests that did not ex-
pect to share in original negotia-
lions and thatthere will be bidding
by persons wishing investment.

Impressed Into the German Army.

HAMMOND, Ind, Jan. 3l.-Wil-
liam Carl Johann SCHNEIDER, a
resident of Cook county, Illinois,
is asserted to be victim of a
fragrant violation of the rights of
American citizenship by the Ger
man empire. He is doing military
duty in the Prussian army into
which he was drafted last summer,
and all efforts thus far to secure
his release have been futile.
SCHNEIDER left Germany in 1889,
coming to West Hammond. He
was naturalized in due time by a
Chicago court. By mistake of
the clerk the papers were made
out in the name William SCHNEIDER.
SCHNEIDER returned to his old home
in Germany on visit last July
and upon his arrival at Stettin
was pressed into military service.
Four months ago copies Of his
naturalization papers were sent to
Germany but were returned in
dorsed. s'The name in the within
cannot be found" Shweder wrote
to his father a few days ago that
he was still doing military duty
and now steps are being taken to
procure his release. The facts
will be presented to Secretary
Olney at once.

dence of a murder has been an

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

The time has come when the Judges
should make an example OF the men
who 90 about with a high hand ana
o1ItstTetched arm defying all law. The
towns seem to be filled with men who
seek to obtain living without working
for IT. and until punishment comes
commensurate with the offences com
mitted the violation will continue.
About IL o'clock Tuesday officer w.
q. Crabtree was called upon to arrest
d strange negro who had robbed Old
man Tom Lyon, worthy colored farm
er from Wake county. Old man 1oIn
had brought tobacco to the market
and after selling it, strange dafKey,
who gave his name as Ed. Young, put
his hand in the old mans pocket and
purloined therefrom the proceeds on
his tobacco.
When the news was conveyed TO MI.
w G.. Crabtree he was on the alert to
catch the rascal, who had stolen the
money. Young was lettering near
Trinity church, not far from PaLIish's
warehouse. AS soon as he caught
sioht of a policeman, with brass but
tons coming that way, he sailed out,
and for so or 40 minutes there was
a most exciting chase. The alarm
was given and as they rushed through
town, Ed Young in front, and at times
calling to catch the thief, considerable
excitement was created. After a chase
of two mi. SIS or more he was apprehend-
ed ard ceers Crabtree and Hicks

the arrest Of this robher several worthy
colored men were largely instrument

Beware OF
the knife!

No one who has not been through the
ordeal, can possibly have any concep-
don of the terrible fear and dread occa-
sioned by the anticipation of surgical
operation. Well grounded, too, per-
haps, in majority of cases, for the keen
blade of the surgeon is too often used
indiscreet1y, and where it,cannot possi-
bly, do any good.
1t Is little less than folly to submit
to surgical operation for a disease of
the blood, and such course always
proves either fatal or useless.
! Mr.. Lincoln Nelson OF Hartville, Mo-,
had an interesting experience with the
doctors recently, and was on the verge
OF a painful surgical operation. He
writes: 81 hereby add my unqualified
endorsement of your excellent remedy,
6. s. S. For six years | have been
sufferer from a sCrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts of
physicians IN Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and ST. Louis, failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
4noval of the gland AT this critical mo-
E1ent friend recommended S. S. S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, I be-
gan its use. Before / had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
land now it is entirely gone, though / am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S. S. S. long age,
] would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $50. If this endorse
nent will serve you in any way use it. +"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good. and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal, S. S. S. is the only
real blood remedy. it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perrna-
nently.
Cancer is another disease for which
the doctors at once resort to the knife,
and there has never been case cured
by an operation. S. S. S. has made
some wonderful cures of Cancer, full ac-
counts of which will be sent out upon
application.
S. S. S. is a blood remedy for real
blood troubles: it cures the most obsti-
nate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer;
Rheumatism, ETC., which other so-called
blood remedies fail to touch. S. S. S.
gets at the root of the disease and forces
1t out permanently Valuable books
will be sent free to any address by the
