HELD FOR THEFT
Frank Clark Will Go to the Peniten-
tiary for Larceny

Frank Clark, an opium fiend, was held
in $1,000 bonds to answer before the su-
perior court to a charge of petty larceny
and one prior conviction. He was ar
rested several days ago for the theft Of
a crow-bar belonging to John Labeta,
which, when taken in custody, he was
trying to sell that he might devote the
proceeds to opium. In court yesterday
he conducted his own defense in man
ner which would have done credit to an
old attorney. His cross examination of
witnesses was such as to indicate that
he had received some legal training. He
was found guilty apd as he had been
once before convicted Of the theft Of
tools he was held to answer. He will
probably plead guilty. He says he IL
willing to do so provided the court will
limit his sentence to one years impris-
onment.

SHOOTING OIL WELLS
Patrolman Assigned to Special Duty
to Stop It

In spite of the ordinance prohibiting
the Shooting of oil wells there have
been several wells "shot" In the old
district during the past ten days. A
number of complaints were made to
Chief of Police Glass by the oil men
whose wells had been damaged by these
violations Of the law, and since Saturday
Patrolman Sheets has been on special
duty trying to detect and arrest some
Of those who pay no attention to the law
AS yet he has been unable to secure
evidence sufficient to secure a warrant,
but he has stopped the shooting"
The excuse usually given by the oil
men for exploding charges Of dynamite
or nitro-glycerine in wells is to dlslodge
sections of casing which has fallen out.
Their real purpose is to increase the
flow Of oil, and as this is secured at the
expense of neighboring wells the smaller
owners insist that all such Shooting
be prohibited.

CHICAGO PATRIOTS MEET

Chicago, April pa rousing patriotic
meeting was held by the Union League
club last night. National airs were ap-
plauded. patriotic sentiments cheered to
the echo and not dissenting voice was
raised against the resolutions indorsing
the course of President Mckinley and
congress and pledging them the support
of the club. Stirring enthusiasm was
manifested. Among the speakers was IN
terstate Commerce Commissioner w. ].
Calhoun who went to Cuba last year to
make an investigation for President Nc
KinIey. The speaker referred to his trip
and said: II have often been asked if the
Cubans can govern themselves. I asked
a great many Cubans that question. They
shrugged their shoulders and said: Let
us try. Perhaps we can not, but it will be
no worse certainly than it is now
IF our forefathers were justified in
revolu ton then these people are ten thou
sand times more justified than they were.
Whether they can govern themselves or
not 1 do not know. My judgment is the
question of annexation is one that we
have got to face next. am unalterably
opposed to it and do not want TO see the
sentiment favoring annexation cultivated
in this country. The people are entirely
unsuited to our conditions"

A TRAVELLING MAN.
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard
ing the Care OF the Health While
Travelling.

Mr.. r. w. Wincherdon, commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose bust
ness keeps him almost constantly on the
road relates in the Sunday News the
dangers TO health resulting from constant
change of residence and the way he over
came the usual injurious effects.
He says: one thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid Is the constant
change in water and food. the stomach
never has an opportunity 10 become ac-
customed to anything and IN a few years
or much sooner the average travelling man
becomes hopeless dyspeptic.
For several years 1 suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomachs.
headaches, distaste for food. often no ap-
petite. gas on the stomach and the usual
unpleasant effects Of imperfect digestion.
Nearly every travelling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles and
I tried all of them with Indifferent results.
Finally on the train between Pittsburg
and Philadelphia one day. I overheard a
conversation between two ladies. one Of
whom had suffered severely from indiges-
ton and stated she had been completely
cured by remedy which she called Stu

they are so convenient, they can be car
