! ]. r. Richie Of FL Dorado came to
this city yesterday from the town OF
Douglass, Butler county.
Mr.. Ritch:e says that there has been
a whisky ard thug war over at Doug
lass fer a week. 1t seems that some
sports took on e heavy jag and went to
church where they attempted to join in
the exercises IL a way that didn't ex-
actiy harmonic.
Rev. George Meredith, the Methodist
itinerant lately assigned to the Douglass
charge, took matters up in vigorous
way to which Douglass pals were not
accustomed He rad two or three Of
them arrested, and these, with lot Of
others, made some swell boasts that
didn't accord with Rev. Meredith's
notions OF proprieiy, and so he enlisted
the cooperation Of Rev. Barton, the
Christian minister, and the two proceed
ed 20 clean out the town. Every jo!ntist,
dice den and pleasure resort in or out
Ct the corporation was pulled and nearly
twenty men were arrested. Most of the
warrants were sworn ou. and signed by
Meredith or Barton, and everything in
sight seemed TO be down hill pull with
the ministers. Suddenly five enraged
wives OF five arrested married men
whooped gentle war whoop and got
each Of them buggy whip and as Arts
tophanes remarked. they lay for the said
ministers. While one Of the reverend
gentlemen was passing the Hotel de
Occidental three OF the five fair war
maidens charged from the parlor and
proceeded TO paint him up with their
whips into the imitation Of a zebra. The
Reverend stood the stripping operation
for about the space Of fully half a sec
ond. during which time he avows the
women called him II 900 names and hit
him seven times. At the prompt close
Of half a second the preacher jumped
INTO the middle OF the street and gave
the women the horse laugh IN a very
dignified and superlat:ve manner, af-
ter which he went around and secured
another batch Of warrants. 1t appears
rom reports that tie preachers have
the inside track and are a little in the
lead now ard tina: beer mugs will have

Catarrh.

catarrh is seemingly one Of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as local treatment,
may, for time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
SO except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment Of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.

SEIZURE OF THE DAUNTLESS.
Report From the Collector of Customs
at Key West.

at Key West.
The Secretary of the Treasury has re-
ceived telegram from the collector of
customs at Key West, Fla. in regard to
the seizure of the Dauntless. in which he
says:
Tug Dauntless sighted by Marblehead
off New river, with steamer Biscayne along
side transferring boxes supposed to con-
tain arms and ammunition. When Marble
head was sighted Biscayne dropped off and
proceeded up New river. Dauntless at
tempted to escape, but after two hours
chase was overhauled by Marblenead and
taken into custody. brought into this port
and turned over to me. Twelve Cubans on
board besides the crew. No arms and am
munition. Before being overhauled by the
Marblehead the Dauntless was seen throw
ing overheard boxes. which did not float.
Biscayne went up New river to Port Lau-
derdale, having on board a number of
boxes and men, was ordered to stop by
Deputy Collector Curry, but continued on
and discharged cargo on cars Biscayne

The Department of Justice will instruct
the United States attorney to institute
legal proceedings against these vessels and
also against the persons who assaulted the
inspector while in the discharge of his
duty. 1t is thought that the vessels will
be libeled and their officers placed under
arrest.

Two Stolen Cannon Go to Germany,

Two of the trophy brass cannon stolen
from West Point last March were shipped
to Germany. Max Bernstein, junk dealer,
OF New York city, who is under arrest
charged with receiving the stolen cannon,
says that on March he bought two boxes
of what purported to be old brass from
Thomas M. Early of Highland Falls, N Y,
from whom he had bought junk at previous
times. The same day. Bernstein says, he
resold the junk boxed as received, to
Kahn Bros, who afterward told him that
the boxes contained two cannon, which
they had shipped to Germany. Early and
Bernstein have been held for examination.
