Deputy shenif Mhittnker,s E,pIoit.

Deputy Sheriff Whitaker OF Rutland
who is achieving no little renown as
brave and determined officer, was whe1
quite young man in the employ OF A. w
Iewksbury IL Sons-as long ago, perhaps
as twenty years-and was even then re-
markable for the qualities which have
proved such factors in his success.
The Rutland Herald gives the following
description of his recent capture OF Frank
Emery, who stole team from barn in
Whiting
deputy Sheriff Whitaker had hand
to-hand struggle with a desperate horse
thief on Prospect street Wednesday (oi
last week., but felled his man, who turned
out to be Frank Emery, notorious horse
thief, not unknown TO keepers OF penal
institutions in this state.
Sheriff Peabody received a telegram
Wednesday morning, informing him that
team had been stolen from a barn in
Whiting at about a. m. The telegram
gave a minute description of the team,
and the sheriff and his deputies, Whitta-
ker and Stearns, started out at once to
make the rounds of the livery and auc-
tion stables of the city.
AT about $3.50 o'clock in the forenoon,
Mr.. Whitaker noticed strange team in
Cheney Brothers shed. Being satisfied,
from hasty examination, that this was
the one he was after, Whitaker stepped
into the store and asked another man TO
so out and carefully look the team over.
While he was doing this, fellow ap-
preached from the market with piece of
cheese but, seeing the man inspecting the
team, he hurried up Madison street.
Whitaker, who was inside the store, no.
ticed this and went out of the door just
in time to intercept him and invite MIN
to walk over to the sheriff's office. He
consented to goafter some little objection.
When Whitaker and the stranger were
in front of the Valiquette place on Pros
pect street, the prisoner suddenly drew
knife, made wild thrust and started to
run. The sheriff overlook him, and an
ugly hand-to- hand struggle followed,
ending in a square fall with about $50
pounds of sheriff on top.
A passer-by at this point jumped out OF
his wagon and aided in putting the twist
ers on to the prisoner, who was none 9th
er than Frank Emery, an accomplished
horse thief and a Jail bird of considerable

The Curse
Of Mankind!

The most horrible disease to which
,be human family is subject is conta-
aious blood poison. 1t has always
saFIed the doctors, for Notwithstanding
.be nrogress made in some branches of
.nsdicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form Of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto H. Ebert, who resides at the
corner of 27d Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had severe expert
snce with this dreadful disease, and
rnder date of April 5th, 1896, writes:

Not Much below the Average.

An Englishman, returned from his
American travels, was delivering course
of lectures in London ON what he had
seen while away from 'ome.
He spoke of the Americans as a physi-
cally degenerated race that had fallen be-
low the average stature of the European
progenitors.
There happened to be at that time in
London bali dozen very tall Vermonters
who were acquainted with each other,
and one evening they attended the tour
lists lecture, determined to put him down
II an opportunity offered.
The lecturer gave them their chance by
referring,as he had previously done, to the
diminutive size of the Americans.
Then the shortest of the Goliaths, who
was at least six feet, rose 70 his full height
and, lnterrupting the speaker, announced
himself as An American and remarked
that he had never noticed how inferior
his countrymen were in stature to the
men OF other nations. He hoped that, II
there were any other Americans in the
house, they would rise and give In then
testimony.
As soon as he sat down, the next one
still taller, got up and made similar
speech.
He was followed by the others, one af-
ter the other, and each taller than the one
preceding him, until it came to the sixth
and last one.
He was quite six feet and half in his
stockings. As he began to say that he
had never thought himself beneath the
average in height, the audience roared and
the lecturer was COMPOUNDED.

REGISTERED HOGS.
Mir John E, Wells Establishing Stock
 N.r.n Near This City.

Nr John F. Wells Establishing Stock
 F'.r,n Near This City.
 Mr. John E. Wells believes that there is money to be made in rais ing fine hogs in this county, there. fore he has already invested quite heavily in the enterprise and has established 2 stock farm about four miles from the city limits He will pay special attention to the breed ing of registered hogs, and as Q nucleus of this industry has pur chased Q number of the finest hogs of the Berkshire breed that was ever brought to Arkansas. Satur- day he closed deal for hog that this week took first prize at the Vicksburg, Miss, fair which was in session last week This hog is eighteen months old and will weigh 600 pounds, and it will continue to grow until it's third year. It is valuable animal and is worthy to be classed with those already owned by MT. Wells.
 Mr Wells also proposes to pay con siderable attention 10 the rais ing of horses and mules and hls pur- chased Q number of brood mares for this purpose. That he will make success there is no doubt. In the past there has not been enough at tention paid to hog raising in the South, our people heretofore having been contented to buy their meat from the North, but now the low price of cotton will prevent this and we believe that Mr. Wells will show by his enterprise that there is much more money in hogs than there is in cotton.

CRITICAL IS THE WAR SITUATION IN
 CUBA Leaders Assert that Eight Weeks Will End the Fight for Spain or Cuba-Un
 cle Sam May
 Take Part.
By Union Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov.l4 The Cuban war has reached a critical point, Weyler has taken the field in per son and those best informed assert that eight weeks will end the con hict and that one side or the other will be practically defeated at the end of that time Meanwhile rela- tions between Spain and the United States are so strained that one breath will start the war flames which have beea smoldering for months. While war may be ex- pected, officials don't deny that everything is being put in readiness and the Navy department being rapidly put in condition to move at short notice The situation in Cuba however is no more critical than the governments condition in Spain, where the present condition of affairs means either revolution or war with the United States.
