DR. JAMESON ARRAIGNED
Charged With Warning on a Friendly
State"
Crowds Waiting Outside Bow Street
Police Court In London for
the Famous Raider.

LONDON, February 25.-Dr. Jameson
landed at Firth, on the Thames, in a tug
from the troop ship Victoria, and took the
train for London.
There was great excitement at Bow street
police court at 3:15. when a number of DR..
Jameson's friends arrived. This was looked
upon as showing that the 1ong-expected in
vader of the Transvaal would soon follow
them. Among those present at that time
Were the Duke of Abercorn, Viscount
Chelsea, the Earl Of Arlington, Col Tracey,
private secretary to the Marquis Of Sails
bury; several colonial officers and officials,
Mr. Charles E. Warde. NJ. p, and many
other people of note.
The excitement was great, especially as
the day wore on and the effects of refresh
ments upon the crowds became more ap-
parent Patriotic shouting was frequent,
ara a lively scene was anticipated when
DIR. jim made his appearance before the
sitting magistrate. Inside and outside Bow
street police court the principal subject dis
cussed was the charge upon which he would
be arraigned.
DR.. Jameson, after having traversed a cir
cuitous route in order to avoid the crowds.
arrived at Bow street police court at 6:25
pm He was loudly cheered on entering
the court room, the entire audience rising
and uncovering upon his appearance.
Later-Dr. Jameson and fourteen of his
1elfoW prisoners were charged with war
ring against a friendly state"
The case was adjourned for two weeks,
the prisoners being admitted to bail in
f2,OOO each.

FORCED TO SEEK PORT.

Experience of the Steamer Maori in
a Recent Hurricane.
NEW YORK, February 25.-The British
tramp steamer Maori, bound from Balti-
more for Rotterdam, put into this port last
evening in distress and anchored off quar-
antine. Capt. Robinson reports that he
sailed from Baltimore February Is, with a
full cargo of corn and -four for Rotterdam
On the 18th. in the middle of the gulf stream
the steamer encountered a terrific hurri-
cane from the southeast, accompanied by
tremendous seas, which nearly engulfed the
vessel. Heavy seas broke on board, sweeping
everything before them. The forward com
panion ladders were smashed and every
thing movable washed off decks. The ship
refused to answer her helm, and, upon ex-
animation, the rudder was found broken;
and so 1t was deemed prudent to put about
and bear up for repairs.
Capt Robinson stated that the hurricane
vas the worst he ever encountered. At one
time 1t looked as IL the vessel would founder
in the tremendous sea, in which the vessel
labored for several hours. The chart room
and cabin were flooded. One seaman was
struck by wave which broke on board and
dashed him against the iron deck house.
breaking his knee cap. The Maori may pos
sibly require survey before resuming her
voyage.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
1t is Now Beyond the Hundred Million
Mark.

Today's treasury statement shows the
gold reserve to be $123, ,522,37S. OF this
amount, s91,6s7, 7O6 represents the aggre-
gate gold paid in to date on account of the
per cent loan Of 1925. The amount Of
bonds issued, however. is only So, ,65U, ,O5O,
Of which 43,413,650 are in coupons and
s27,237, 400 registered bonds, the balance be-
Ing held on call from the purchasers. The
total amount Of the deferred gold payments,
therefore, IS only about s2O.0v0.OOO.
Since January last, the date of Secre-
tafy Carilsle's bond circular, the total W TIL
draWais OF gold from the treasury amount
TO o2,4lo,396. Of which 81, $50 263, or about
70 per cent of the whole gold receipts, was
not exported, but was used it Is assumed,
In the payment Of bonds.. Withdrawals for
export still continue, however and it will
not surprise treasury officials If the gold
reserve again falls below the legal tender
limit OF $1OO,O0OOOO before the date fixed
for final payments for the new bonds -
June 10 next. In view Of this alleged prob
aplhty, 1t 1s said to be not improbable that
the President will send a special message
to Congress reviewing the financial situa-
tlon and urging legislation for the effectual
protection OF the government gold balance.
Ihose who predict such a message admit
that 1t Is not likely to be sent unless 1t ap-
pears that no measures will be adopted for
the relief Of the situation, and consequently
need not be looked for until tust before ad-
journment.

HUSBAND AND WIFE SHOT.
Double Tragedy at Midnight nj
Madison, Wis.


MADISON, Wis, February 25.-A terrible
tragedy, resulting in the fatal shooting of
Mrs. A. W. Paterson by her husband, and
his death by his own hand Immediately af
terward, occurred at midnight last night,
at their home in this city.
A letter. ostensibly written by both par
ties. was left to the children, saying hus-
band and wife had meditated suicide for
scme time, and resolved to die together.
This declaration. however, is opposed by
the fact that when found, the wife, who
had retired and was in her night robe, had
one arm thrown across her face as If to
SHIELD it. and bullet in the arm, while the
husband was still fully dressed. Both, with
other members Of the household, had at
tended revival services being held here by
B. Fay Mills during the evening, and had
gone to their rooms apparently in the best
of spirits.
The family came here from Algoaa, Iowa,
where Paterson was \ merchant, retiring
on account of poor health. They came here
to educate their children at the State Uni
vers.ty, which Paterson formerly attended.
No other motive thar insanity on the part
of the husband, or intended suicide on the
part Of both, can be assigned for the deed.

ARRANGING THE STARS.

How to Accommodate the New One ON
the Flag for Utah.
Secretaries Lamont and Herbert have un-
der consideration a Encouragement of the
stars in the American flag so as to accom-
modate an additional star for Utah, the
last state admitted to the Union. The
new flag, with forty-five stars, will be the
national ensign from July next until the
admission Of another state necessitates a
further change.
In the present flag the forty-four stars
are arranged In six rows, the upper and
lower rows having eight stars each and
the other four rows seven stars each. A
short time ago the War Department de-
cided to place tie additional star at the
end of the fourth row, and orders were
given for the manufacture of flags for the
army according to that design. Recently,
however, a design was suggested in which
there were six rows of stars, with eight
and seven stars in each row alternately.
Secretary Herbert was SO favorably i'm
pressed with this design that he suggested
to Secretary Lamont to reconsider tie Sc
lection Of the design adopted by the army,
and it will probably be done.

Bottled Up!.

It certainly Is disheartening to a pa- dent to find that the treatment he is given for a disease is more disastrous than the disease itself. Such is the ease, however, with the usual treat ment given for diseases of the blood.
 Notwithstanding the great progress made in many branches of medicine. the doctors have failed absolutely to find a successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind of medicine. they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctors prescription is always the same-potash or mercury.
 Too much cannot be said of the harm ful and disastrous effects of these drugs. The doctors are unable to rid the sys- tenn of the poison. and direct their efforts toward covering up the symp- toms from view. There is but one ef- feet to be obtained from potash and mercury-they bottle up the poison and dry it up in the system, but it must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored splotchcs are but indications of worse system taken on the full effects of this powerful drug than that suppleuess and elasticity of the joints gives way to a stiffness, followed by the rackinR pains of rheumatism.
