Donelson Found Guilty of Cruelty to
Animals

In Justice Chesneys court the case
against Charles Donelson for cruelty
to animals came up for trial yesterday.
On SEPTEMBER 9, one Charles HuIdien
sued G. G.. Burton for SIS due him for
work. On September IL, Burton,
through Officer Dan Wyatt of the HUI
name society, had Huldien arrested for
cruelty to animals under the name of
Donelson. After Burton had the ar
rest made he paid Donelson the money
due him for wages and continued with
the prosecution. DOnelSon is young
man about 81 years of age. He is a
SWede, has been in this country about
six months, and is not up on the laws
of the state and talks English poorly
The defence stated that he was milking
COW belonging to Burton and that
when he was about through milking
and when the pail was nearly full, the
COW, with malice afOrethOught, kicked
the pail of milk over and then kicked
Donelson half way across the room
rs that not enough to make a fellow
punish cOw?' said Lawyer Ward
Il was brought up on farm and I
have been in the same fix The COW
was years old and should have had
better manners"
Assistant County Attorney Guy ar
gued that if the COW had been young
and that the lesson had been needed it
would have been different. One wit
ness testified that he did not see any
blood on the cow caused by the blows
1nnlcted- WelP' said Mr.. Guy You
saw the cow Immediately after the mall
treatment and probably the blood had
not had time to marticulate." 1t is
needless to observe perhaps that Mr.
Guy is colored
The jury found Donelson guilty and
the Judge fined him 81 and costs
amounting to $37.7O The Judge said:
If he had not been a young man un-
acquainted with the country 1 would
nave hned him heavily The case
was appealed to the district court and
the bond furnished was 5000.

THE DIFFERENCE
Between Joint Stock and Mutual In
surance Companies is Pointed
Out by Supt. McNall.

In response to an inquiry as to the dis
tinction between joint stock and mutual
fire insurance companies from W. D.
Nichols of Abilene. Webb McNaIl, super
intendent of insurance, today wrote the
following:
THE organization of mutual fire insur-
ance companies in Kansas and other
states of the Union has tended to reduce
the cost of insurance. The difference be-
tween joint stock fire insurance COM
panies and mutual fire insurance COM
out paying extravagant salaries insures
the property of its members at actual
cost The joint stock fire companies are
always organized, and always will be, for
the purpose of making money, and in ad-
dition-in a great many caSeS-paying ex-
travagant salaries to their officers as
well as making large dividends to their
stockholders. I have in mind at this
time companies in the east which the
records of this office show started out
with 100000 capital and they now have
81 coo 600 or s., ,OO0 900 in assets. every dol
lar of which has come out of the policy
holders pockets, and in addition they
have declared dividends that run into the
millions.

ecutes a note to a mutual fire insurance
company, he is liable only up to the face
of the note, and if it requires less
amount to meet their obligations a less
amount is assessed

HANNA TO VOTERS.
Declares the Free Silver Doctrine Has
Been Rent by the Hand of
Provid anca

Canal Dover, O., Sept. 24.-The Republi-
can campaign in Tuscarawas county was
opened here yesterday afternoon by SEN
ator Mark A. Hanna, Lieutenant Cover
nor A. w. Jones of Youngstown and J. J.
Sullivan of Warren, president of the
League of Republican clubs of the state.
Senator Hanna spoke in part as fol-
lows:
TT gives me great pleasure to come in
to good old Tuscarawas county, which is
reckoned one of the strongholds of the
Democratic party, and be greeted by a
spirit that indicates that the county is
going Republican this fall. I don't ask
you to vote for me, but for principle.
On the other hand, the election of our
ticket would give our president an op-
portunity to make good every promise
that he has made to the people.
1.-THE Democratic free silver doctrine
has been rent by Providence. I did not
put up the price of wheat nor discover
the 4-4ondike. I tell you Providence is
in the harvest field and in the White
House. They may call a labor
crusher. They may picture me in all the
hideousness of the New York Journal car
toons, but they cannot rob me of my
faith in the Republican party, nor make
me believe that the party will not make
it's promise good. No one can ever
charge that in my business career 1 have
heaped any indignity on the laboring
man."

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

This may read as though we were
putting II little strong because it is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in it's chronic
form is incurable, or practically So But
we have long since shown that Dyspep-
sia is durable, nor is it such a difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
tremes or else deluging- the, already
oVerpurdened stomach with .''bitters,'',
after dinner pills. etc, which invari-
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give a slight tenn
porary relief Such treatment of the
stomach simply makes matters worse
What the stomach wants is rest Now
how can the stomach become rested
recuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained?
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets This is a
comparatively new remedy, but its sue
cess and popularity leaves no doubt as
to it's merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested, no matter how bad your dys-
pepsia may be, because as before stat
ed, the tablets will digest the food even
if the stomach is wholly inactive To il
lustrate our meaning plainly, if you
take 1,S00 grains of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in a temperature
of 9S degrees, and put with il one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest
the meat or eggs almost as perfectly as
if the meat was enclosed within the
stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak. yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and al the same
time radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia
will be made because the much abused
stomach will be given, to some extent, a
much needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you that of the many remedies ad-
vertised to- cure dyspepsia none of them
has given so complete and general sat
isfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not least in Importance in these
hard times is the fact that they are also
the cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

SPRING VALLEY SUFFERING
Hard Winter Ahead on Account of the
Strike.

Spring Valley, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-Peru on
the east and Marquette the west and
only a few miles from this city started
coal mining this morning after three
months idleness. Both these big mines
will double shift the men, running day
and night.
Spring Valley, the biggest coal mining
center in the west, with capacity of one
million tons year, is still on a strike
and likely to remain so. The company
refuses to pay the scale price made at
Columbus and reduced to the gross
weight basis at Springfield yesterday. The
reason given is that the miners made con-
tracts to the 1st of May, 1898, to dig coal
at 621a cents screened, although it is a
well known fact that no miner here made
a personal contract, these had been
done away with nearly three years ago.
There two thousand miners in
Spring Valley and during the summer
over 800 families had been on the relief
list and are at present. 1t is proposed
that the young men and those without
families leave the city and seek work in
other mining camps to relieve the bur-
den of supporting those who are unable
to get away.
This appears the only solution of the
food problem The miners will not re-
turn to work at the price against which
they struck three months ago. There
is bound to be destitution appalling in
the city during the winter, as it's only
means of support is the mining industry.

ALTON NEGROES AHEAD.
Their Children Not Disturbed at tne
White Schools

Alton, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-The negroes had
the better of the race war in the Alton
schools today. They held a meeting
last night and determined to take their
children to the white schools again this
morning and seat them there among the
white children.
The city authorities had intended to
refuse them admittance if they appear
ed at the old schools again this morn
ing, but the negroes have become so
wrought up over the matter that it was
thought best to let them in rather than
have any more serious trouble with
them.
So today all the negro children were
back in the schools with the white pu-
pills, and the schools built for the ne
grOes have been deserted, except by the
teachers. The negroes now insist that
their children shall not be ignored in
the classes and declare that they will
go to the schools and compel the teach
ers to give them lessons and hear them
recite.
If they attempt this, the police will
eject them, and there will be trouble.
Today the negroes received a telegram
from Gen. John NJ. Palmer, in which
the general accepts the offer to assist
J. J. BrenhoIt of this city in making the
fight for the negroes in the courts.
Meanwhile the negroes will continue
to send their children to school with
the white children and the authorities,
who dislike to have serious trouble
with the negroes before the battle is
fought in the courts, will not disturb
them

WITH A CHORUS GIRL.
A Wealthy Englishman's Son Disap-
pears From New York.

New York, Sept 24.-The police of
this city and of Chicago are making as
siduous search for Clarence Russell
Chetwynd, son of a retired banker of
London, England, who recently d1sap-
peared after having received $4,000 by
cable from his father
The London police have asked the as
sistance of the detectives of the two
cities. Young Chetwynd left London
year ago and came to New York. After
living some months in New York
Chetwynd made the acquaintance of
chorus girl. He cabled his father three
months ago to send him $500 at once,
as he was desirous of leaving New York
and would make his residence in Chi
cago. The needed sum was placed at
the youn mans disposal by cable. He
acknowledged it's receipt and left New
York, saying his address would be the
Auditorium Annex, Chicago.
The New York police have learned
that a woman went with him. From
that time to this his whereabouts have
been unknown. The Chicago police
have practically nothing to work upon,
as the scent seems to have been lost
since the missing man left New York.

USE FOR OUR NAVY
An American Cruiser in the
Mediterranean
Gives the Sultan of Morocco a
Bad Fright.
HE ARRESTS ROBBERS
And Promises to Give Up the
Money Taken
HE ARRESTS ROBBERS
From the Employees of Ameri-
can Merchants at Tangier.

washington, Sept. 24.-The San Fran
CISCO, with Admiral Selfridge aboard
mas arrived at Gibraltar from Tangier
and 1T was stated at the navy depart
ment that she would probably start
eastward, cruising slowly up the Med
1terranean until she reached the coast
of Syria.
If she had any punitive mission in
view when she crossed the straits at
Tangier, the fact was carefully con-
cealed at the navy department.
Ine former claims referred to in the
cable dispatch were based upon the
maltreatment of certain native defend
ants of an American and their preven-
ton from doing business in Morocco.
Under the provisions of the extra
territorial law which governs in such
semi-barbarous countries of Africa
and Asia, resident Americans and E11-
ropeans are privileged to take under
protection of their nationality a limit
ed number of native servants, and this
privilege has been construed to permit
business men to thus engage buyers
and traders in their interest
Some months ago. some of the clerks
of an American trading in a town near
Tangfer, were set upon, beaten and
robbed of their employers money and
goods. This happened before the resi-
dence of the principal functionary of
the place.
Complaint was made to the Morocco
an government by United States Con-
sui General Burke, but without effect.
He thereupon notified the state de-
partment, and at his instance the Uni
ted States steamer. Raleigh was sent
to Tangier. The effect upon the sultan
was immediate. He caused the arrest
of the Moors supposed to have been the
perpetrators of the assault and prom
ised restitution of the money lost.
The Raleigh afterwards cruised along
the coast of Morocco, we'll to the east
ward, and in his last report to the state
department, Consul Burke stated that
her appearance had undoubtedly done
much to cause the natives to respect
the United States flag and prevent a
re-occurrence of the outrage. A long
cablegram has been dispatched from
the navy department and it is possible
that it contained instructions to Ad-
miral Selfridge to cooperate further
with Consul General Burke in case he
meets with opposition in his efforts to
eStS.

= POSTMASTER OF ROME.
President to Appoint Colored Man
to the Position.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 24-The reply of
President Mckinley to the assault which
was made upon the colored postmaster
at Hogansville will be the appointment
of a colored superintendent, Prof T. NJ
Dent, to be postmaster of the important
city of Rome.
The incumbent, Colonel Vandiver, has
three years of his term to serve, but Prof.
Dent has been assured from Washington
that the appointment will be made short
ly in order to assure the colored people
of the state that their rights as Ameri-
can citizens will be properly taken care
of.
The fact that Dent was elected to his
place as superintendent of the colored
schools of Rome by the leading white
men of the city estops them from assail-
ing his character.

COLORED BOSSES FIRED.
Charleston Cotton Mills Had More
Trouble With EmploYes.

Charleston, S. c., Sept. 24.-The man
ayers of the Charleston cotton mills
where negro and white labor is employed,
undertook today to put in half dozen
negro bosses over the white operators
and the latter hands went out.
They left the mill making threats. A
squad of policemen was detailed to pre-
vent trouble, but things became so squa1-
ly that the colored bosses were promptly
taken out
The mill has had considerable trouble
since colored hands were employed and
the whites today declared that they would
fight it out and tear down the factory un-
less thev could work under white men.
They got what they wanted and were
satisfied.

A good many prisoners paid to get

He got dollar week for his work and
turned the remainder over to Guard

me that there was a man strung up in
the dungeon and to let him hang there
