COL. CROFTON RETIRED.
The President Takes Advantage of
the Age Limit statute.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The President. TAX
ing advantage of prerogative rarely
ever exercised, placed Col. Robert E. A
Crofton, commanding the Fifteenth Infan-
try, with headquarters at Fort Barnard,
New Mexico, on the retired list of the army
to-day, under the statute enabling the ex-
executive, as commandments to retire
an officer who reaches the age of 81 years,
Crofton having reached the required age
last December.
The Fifteenth Infantry, when stationed
at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,. was considered poor
~ disciplined and an effort was made to
retire Col. Crofton for physical disability
but the examining board did not find him
incapacftated to command, and shortly af-
forwards the regiment was ordered away
from Chicago influences, which We're
thought deleterious to discipline, and sent
to the Mexican border.
Col Crofton ranked No. among the
army colonies and would probably have
been promoted to general before his COM
pulsory retirement in 1898. The last occa-
sion upon which the g. years law was util-
lied was in the case of Gen. Carr, who
was retired by President Harrison to make
a vacancy in the grade of general, but
there was no reflection upon the officer in
the latter case

BROKE JAIL AT BLACKSHEAR
NEGRO ESCAPES BUT A WHITE MAN
roo ILL TO RUN.

He Was Found sitting on the steps
Outside the BuiIding-He Said as
the Doors Were Open lie Thought
He'd Take a. Little WnIk-Uncer-
t"inty as 10 whether CareIcssne-s
or Treachery Is at the Bottom of
the Affair.
Blackshear, Ga, Jan. 1.-The prisoners
are OUT is cry that created considera-
bic excitement on the street this after
noon.
A hasty investigation revealed the fact
that the jail doors were open and the pris-
oners gone. There were two prisoners in
the jai-S. w. Willford, white. charged
with murder, and a negro whose offense
was an assault with attempt TO murder
perpetrated upon one of his own race.
In the midst of the excitement IL was
discovered that only the negro had made
his escape. Wiliford was found sitting on
the Jail steps and when questioned said
that the doors were opened and he
thought he would walk out a little. He
would undoubtedly have made his escape
also except that since his Incarceration
ne has suffered severely from a carbuncle
on his neck and Is now not sufficiently re-
covered to have made the run necessary TO
escape.
The negro ran like deer A posse is
now in search of him, but with small like
lihood of success.
The question now freely asked is how
came the jail doors open. The Jail is
modern two-story brick structure, thor
oughly equipped in every respect, and II
is conceded on all sides that this after
Moons delivery Is due to one of two caus-
es-either carelessness or treachery. A few
days ago the jailor discovered perfectly
made wooden key and a pocket knife i'm
the negroes cell. These were removed and
81 a second key was made 1t has not yet
been found.
To-day a negro woman. the jailors cook.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
of An Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After suffering for
I,,xen fx-fiNa. NenrS.

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable lady
residing at Lynnville, Jasper county,
Iowa, was for twenty-five years a sufferer.
from Dyspepsia. and her complete resto-
ration to health is so remarkable that
we present the facts in the case for the
benefit of our readers, many of whom
have doubtless suffered in the same man
ner and will, therefore, be Interested i'm
learning how all stomach troubles may be
avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeels says;
used only one package of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets and 1 received such great
and unexpected benefit that l wish to eX-
press my sincere gratitude. In fact it
has been six months since took the
medicine and have not had one particle
of distress or difficulty since. And
all this in the face of the fac that the
best doctors l consulted told me my casa,
was incurable as l had suffered Tor
twenty-five years. / want hair a dozen
packages TO distribute among my friends
here who are very anxious to try this
remedy. Truly yours,
Mrs. Sarah A Skeels.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are so successful in curing Indigestion
and stomach trouble and the reason why
it never disappoints those who need it
and use it is because nothing is claimed
for it except what it viii actually per-
claims are made for it, 1t is prepared for
the sole purpose of curing Dyspepsia and
the various forms of indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure Dyspep-
STA as well as a hundred other troubles.
When as a matter fact remedy to cure
Dyspepsia must be prepared especially
for that and nothing else; and among all
the remedies, patent nostrums, bitters.
etc, so extensively advertised you will
find that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is
the only one advertised as a cure fer
Dyspepsia and nothing else. The remedy
is prepared by the Stuart Co. of Marshall
Mich, and for sale by all druggists at 50
cents per package, and if you suffer from
any form of stomach arrangement or
indigestion a trial will not disappoint
you.

BROOKLYN DAMAGED BADLY.
THE CRUISER LIKELY TO BE IN
DOCK SOME TINE.

StevedOres Rapidly Taking Ont Her
Coal and the Explosives in Her
Maga1ine-The Vessel Expecting to
lie Ready to Leave Her Anchorage
Sunday-The Diver Again Exam
ines Her Bottom, But Refuses to
Give Out Any Information.
Chester, Pa, Feb. 4.-The stevedores
worked all night unloading the coal from
the damaged cruiser Brooklyn at Marcus
Hook, and big hole has been made in the
500 tons, which will be the quantity taken
out. Operations on the magazine were
suspended at nightfall, but they were re-
sumed early this morning by the ships
crew and about fifty tons of ammunition
have been removed.
1t is probable that the vessel will be
ready to ieave her anchorage on Sunday,
provided there is no freezing weather in
the meantime. The unloading of the ship
is going on under the most favorable cir
cumstances, as the weather is mild and
the river is free from ice on the Pennsy,-
vania side and the barges into which the
coal is loaded have no trouble in, making
the trip to the League Island navy yard,
where the Brooklyn will be locked. A
purpose of examining the ships bottom
The reports are made directly to Capt
Cook, and he says that no informa ton will
be given out until he has made his official
report to the Secretary of the Navy, This
vii. be made in few days. Capt. Cook
had long conversation to-day with
Thomas Lick, the engineer in charge Of
the schooner Ledge operations and receiv-
ed valuable information about the shoals
1t is pretty we'll established now that on
Saturday when the cruiser struck, there
was not half tide, as a heavy northwest
wind kept the tide back and instead of a
five-foot rise at high water, there was
barely two feet. The shoal was dangerous
at any point for ship of the draft of the
Brooklyn, 241a feet. Capt Cook, as well
as Lieut.. McCrea, the navigator, and the
two pilots, kept the course, and if the
end but the lower end, where the b.ast-
ing operations have lately been conducted.
Ihe statement that the cruiser struck a
boulder thrown up by the heavy blasts.
has stirred up the contractors who have
visited the ledge with a view of examining
the bottom to see if the theory can be
borne out.
Capt. Cook has not left the Brooklyn
since the accident. He says it will be a
pity If the ship shall be taken out of COM
mission and the officers and crew trans
ferred to other vessels, as he doubts if
there is any battleship in the world so
wen manned. The opinion gathered from
him is that the cruiser is badly damaged

THE HONEST SHAKERS

form OF misrepresentation OF a far more
dangerous and villainous character.
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently ac-

product. If we can guarantee to cure dis.
ease. then we can guarantee everlast-
ing life, for in a large majority of cases
people die of disease, the proportion Of
violent or accidental deaths being very
small.
The Shakers have always been known
as a most upright and honorable people
and their success In the manufacture OF
medicines has also been well known II
Is therefore not surprising TO find them
pursuing a very original and novel plan
for the introduction Of their remedy for
dyspepsia.

R1DEWs FIGHT ron LIFE.
State Supreme Court TO Hear n Mo-
ton For IA New Trial on Feb. IL.

Columbus Ca, Feb. 4.--The supreme
court will, on Feb. 15 take up the Ryder
murder case. Counsel for the defense re-
ceived official notice to-day to this effect.
and the solicitor is busy preparing an an
swer to each of the sixty-seVen grounds
named in the application for new trial.
The main ground is the claim Of newly dis
covered evidence, Charlie Mcbride making
affidavit that Juror Jemison told him be-
fore the trial that he thought Ryder was
guilty. Jemson has gone to Texas. The
state has an affidavit from him denying
that he expressed any opinion on the
case, but It came after the motion for a
new trial had been denied by Judge Butt
and cannot be used before the supreme
court.
