arms above his head; his elbows ache,
his knees wiggle restlessly, every nerve
seems quivering, twitching and burn
ing.
If person allows himself 70 give way
to the increasing nervousness he will
soon be struggling wildly, shouting and
bruising himself against the bars.
Some culprits, overpowered by their
nerves, go into a frenzy. This
nervous excitement seizes upon nearly
everyone who is confined in the puni.
tive chair, and this is what makes the
device efficacious in soaring off tramps,
A few times in the chair always makes
dose that no tramp wants repeated.
In three weeks the chair cleared the
streets of Oakland of drunkards and
tramps and Mr.. Baker says that it will
produce the same results in every city
and town where it may be used.
If some particularly stolid customer
wasn't overwhelmed by the mysterious
nervous panic, that is the chief prop
erty in the chairs terrifying influence,
then the punishment may be varied by
trundling him about town for the in
spection of the public.

Bathing the baby is one of the joys of
young motherhood. The mere sight and
touch of the soft, sweet, cooling, Growing
little creature is selace for many sorrows.
This happiness is missed IL either mother
or child be sickly, weak nervous, cross.
If either is so, it is the rnether's fault. She
has failed to keep herself we'll and strong
during the period of CESSATION, and the
neglect shows in her baby.
All the peculiar ills of womankind are
cured by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Il relieves pain, allays Inflammation, stops
debilitating drains, strengthens and vitalizes
the organs involved. 1t so perfectly pre-
pares a woman for the time of parturition
that pain and danger are practically elm
mated. BY its use perfect health is assured
for both mother and baby. 1t is the most
maTvelously efficient medicine ever devised
for this purpose and the only one that may
be absolutely depended upon.
Mrs. Amanda Ellison, Of No 7Ioo Boonviiie ST.,
tStation Al, Springfield, Mo-, writes: ~ am
happy to say that followed your advice and took
your Favorite Prescription before my fourth

1t is Nick's duty to take his masters

Mrs. Peterson by any mischance over
look the matter the dog is sure to re-
mind her in proper time by bringing the
bucket and urging her to fill it At
first it was supposed TO be the dogs in

know the hour, but he has many times

Peterson oversleeps himself, Nick is
sure to be ON the alert, and at the first
sound of the early whistle runs to the
bedside and banks until his master ia

your meeting will be great success, 1

INSURGENTS ARE DESTROYING
WEYLER'S CLAIMS ABOUT
PINAR DEL RIO.
SPANISH CAVALRY BADLYIDEFEATED
In That "Pacified' acknowledgements
Attack a Number of Forts in Havana
Proyincc-Weyler is Again in
Favor at Madrid

New York, Jan. S.-A Key West
special to the World says: Reports from
Pinar del Rio contradict Gen. Weyler's
statement that all is calm and pacific
there.
A large force of insurgents attacked
on Monday large convoy of supplies
twenty-five miles south of Artemisa, de-
feating the Spaniards and capturing II
large supply of camp equippagc and am
munition.
Near Pinar del Rio city on Tuesday,
500 Cubans fired on 500 Spanish cavalry
passing, throwing them into confusion.
The Spanish rallied and charged, only to
plunge into deep trenches prepared for
them. The Cubans had withdrawn after
the first fire, but rs the Spanish horse
men plunged into the Gitches the :nsur-
gents fired into the mass with great
rapidity, causing great slaughter. At
tracted by the firing, another Spanish
squad dashed up and was met with a
whitening fire from the concealed Cubans.
The Spanish finally retreated after losing
perhaps seventy-iive men. The Cubans
lost only five men. The Spanish officers,
however, claimed n great victory in the
official report.
The anti-Weyler feeling among the
Spanish in Havana is growing, and but
for rigid orders and the spy system, an
open revolt against him would be begun
even by the officials of the palace.

CERTAINLY A BAD NEGRO.
Already Fugitive for Murder, He Chops
Four People With an Axe.

Mayesville, S. c., Jan. 7.-Simon Coop
or, the negro who shot and killed an
other negro few days ago at Magnolia,
and for whom there was reward OF
$500 offered by the governor, added more
murder to his record near Magnolia this
morning. Cooper entered the house OF
Mr.. Ben Wilson about sunrise this morn
ing and demanded the use of Mr.. Will
sons buggy, which was then refuse. He
then picked up an axe and split Mr.. Will
sons head open. He attacked Mr..
Wesley Wilson, the son, and chopped him
in like manner. Cooper then murdered
Mrs. Wesley Wilson with the same
weapon and struck down a negro who
approached on hearing the noise. He
left the axe sticking in the negro's body
Word reached the sheriff that Cooper
had been seen within two miles of Sum
ter. The sheriff divided the volunteers
into several posses and sent them in diff
ferent directions, but Cooper was moi
found. The Wilson's were white people
of high standing in their community and
their death is deplored by all who knew
them.
Mr.. Ben Wilson was about so years
of age, his son Wesley about 50 and Mrs
Wilson about 50. Three children have
been left orphans.
Up to this hour Il a. m. Friday Cooper
has not been captured, but it is almost
impossible for him to escape, as the coun,
try is being secured in every direction.
If caught, his fate will be a terrible one.

CUBANs ATTACK FORTS.
Some Brisk Battling Being Done in
Havana Province

Key West, Jan. S.-Advices received
from Havana show that at 4 o'clock on
the afternoon of January 3, an insur-
gent force commanded by Julian Delgado
opened fire on the fortress of Cabalazis,
province of Havana. The garrison re-
sisted the attack of the insurgents so
briskly that the latter were obliged to
retreat On the following morning the
insurgents renewed their attack stimuli
famous on forts Nos. g, z, and 8 with a
lively discharge of musketry, which was
answered by the garrisons. AT the same
| time the insurgents burned the fine
| dwelling of Senior Fernandino Garcia,
| situated near the railway station. The
bullets flew thickly many of the missiles
penetrating the store of Pedro Bendrato
in twenty different places. The Spanish
garrisons finally compelled the insurgents
to retreat. While the Cuban force were
machettes all the crops that had been
planted in the vicinity. The insurgents
also attacked the village of 'Roacho Boyo,
| but without result. Advices received to-
| day confirm the report that Calixto Gar
| cia, with 500 well armed insurgents,
| after an engagement and upon the ar
| rival of Gen. Bosche's convoy, marched
to Boscovy, which place they beseiged
| for five days. 1t is said the garrison re-

the arrival of Gen. Bosche, when Garcia
and his column retreated towards San
tiago de Cuba, countermarching after
wards i'm the direction of Holquin.
One hundred and fifty-six wounded
Spanish soldiers arrived at Havana from
the province of Pinar del Rio on Tuesday
last.
Advices from Havana say that petit
ton was presented on Tuesday last ut
the Produce Exchange by number of
merchants requesting the executive COM
mittee of the exchange to send a dis
patch to Madrid on the authority of the
| wholesale and retail merchants of
Havana, addressed to Premier Canovas
| del Castillo, protesting against the action
of the Marquis of Apeytegra and other
| Spanish sugar cane grinders, who are
agitating the question of Capt. Gen.
| Weyler's recall from Cuba. These grind
ers complain that Capt. Gen. Weyler
does not protect their Interest by not al
lowing them to grind, but on the con-
trary thus favors the insurgent plans.
The signers of the petition state that
they are above political corruption and
only wish that the truth be made known.
The Marquis of Apeztegua will shortly
sail for Spain. He has been summoned
by Premier Canovas for a personal con-
sultation and to prevent if possible a
rupture between Gen. Weyler and the
Cuban conservative party. a

HE RAPED CLEVELAND.

Pittsburg, Jan. S.-Hon. G. A. Skin
ner, pension agent for this district, was
an unexpected orator tonight on the oc-
casion when the Randall club very bril-
liantly celebrated Jackson day. Though
holding federal office he raped Mr.
Cleveland in manner that was highly
applauded. In the course of his speech
he predicted that Mr.. Bryan will be the
next president. eff politicians do not
nominate him, the people will"
Mr.. Skinner then said: "While l will
say nothing more about the president. to
whom I owe my position, will say that
Mr.. Cleveland has misinterpreted the
principles of the democratic party and
the will of the people. The trouble with
the democratic leaders is that they were
reared in bad atmosphere, they were
educated too near Wall street"
The remarks caused n profound sensa-
ton and at the close We're literally ap-
plauded.
