| Deputy Sheriff Flanagan of Butler
county arrived here on the noon train
Saturday, having in charge one A.
| Sanders, charged with shooting and
fatally wounding a man by the name
of Dacus in Poplar Bluff that morning.
| 1t seems that the excitement in Poplar
Bluff over the tragedy was intense and
the prisoner was brought to this place,
! for fear that If he was kept there a
mob might minister to him speedy
Justice. The injured man died the
| following Monday. From all reports
the murder was cowardly and unpro-
voked, and Sanders Should be given
the extreme penalty of the law. The
| following telegraphed from Poplar
Bluff to Sundays GiObe-DemOcrat tells
the story of the tragedy: j. +. Dacus
was shot twice by Alexander Sanders
this morning near the Van Wrinkle
Hotel in this city. Physicians say that
Dacus can not recover, aud will prob
ABLY not live twenty-four hours. The
difficulty grew out of friction in rails
ing and offering troops. When war
was imminent Sanders wrote the State
and national authorities, hoping to re-
ceive authority to raise company.
He received replies which led him to
believe that he would stand chance
to get into the service. He proceeded
at once to enroll and drill his men.
Some three or four months ago Dacus
came from St. Louis, and for time
assisted Sanders in giving the drill.
A few weeks afterward dispute arose
arose as to the question of electing
company officers. Sanders claimed
that Dacus abruptly suggested that the
vote be taken one night when the COM
pany had met for drill. Sanders
wanted to wait and give more notice.

When unsolicited testimonials are con-
stantly received from men of such promi-
nenoe as the distinguished citizen whose
portrait is here printed-when among the
thousands of letters received by the pro-
prieters of Pa1ne's celery compound there
are to be found in almost every mail some
from men and women of national reputa-
tion, it ia easily understood why this
remedy which makes people well has
its remarkable efficacy among all
classes of people.
No other remedy has the hearty approval
of q like body of educated men and

there over been remedy that was well
coined in so many intelligent, prudent

DEFENDS HIS CAMPAIGN.
Gen. shafter Makes Address Before Sons
of Revolution.

New York, November 25-The Sons OF
the Revolution of the State Of New York
to the number of two hundred held their
annual banquet at Dslmonicos tonight,
1t was the one hundred and fifteenth an
niversary of the evacuation of the city OF
New York by the British forces. The
chief guest of the evening was Major Gem
cneered when he took his seat beside
Frederick S. Iallmadge. president of the
New York state chapter of the society.
Other guests included Hon. Warner
Miller and G. L. Lewis.
President Talimsdge introduced General
Shafter as "a man who has done much
towards bringing liberty and freedom to
Cuba
General Shafter arose amid tremendous
applause, while the orchestra played .sThe
Star Spangled Banner
General shafter said 81 thank you
from the bottom of my heart for the kind
welcome. want to say that I am proud
that | am a son Of the revolution, but /
belong TO the order known as the Sons of
the American Revolution, the Pacific
coast branch.
II wish to say something about the late
War--about the success in Cuba. AT
Santiago there was no rnncor or snmity
between the Spanish and American forces
They hocked together thicker than fieas
il may use the term. =
1T suppose, continued Gen Shafter,
s.that sou all know how the campa ign
has been bitterly criticized. ] want TO
tell you that it is much easier for man
to say Just how q thing should be done
than to do it. War was declared in
April at the beginning Of the sicgly sea-
son in Cuba. 1t was the expressed inten-
tion of the President ana he told me so
himself, to delay the war until after that
season, no matter what the public clamor
was. He would not send volunteers in
to Cuba during Jhe sickly season.
He said is was this Presidents inten-
tion after receiving word that the Span
ish feet had entered Santiago harbor to
send forcs Of not less than 10, 900 men
in accordance with Admiral Sampson's S
request to force the Spanish feet from
the harbor and take the city.
Then the General said that instead of
embarking 10000 men he had to take
ia, coo. Our ships we're not suited for
the business, he continued. However,.

and forced march to Santiago. had
30, 125 men, aIl Of the light artillery and
all OF the available cavalry. There were
tnres regiments of volunteers. Iney were
good regiments and did their duty well.
There is not regiment Of the volun-
teers on the face of the earth who could
be made soldiers in the short time and
with the training that these men had.
We had lots of satfering. There is always
suffering in war There was not mo-
ment when could have prevented it
that any man suffered unnecessarily.
Out Of the 1900 wounded, but 13 died.
That is small percentage. ! have never

says That Open Door Is Not BY ANY
Means The Uniform Policy OF Great
Britain and Cites Canada as an Ex-
ample.
Washington, Noyembs 25. Chairman
Dingley of the ways and means committee
in an interview with Star reporter to-
day explained the term 'sopen door
policy as applied to the future commerce:
of the Philippines. in case they should be
acquired by the United States
'sThe phrase Open door policy, which
ID now being talk ed about SO much in the
newspapers, z said Mr. DingIey, "means
simply equality of treatment and not free
trade. AS applied to the Philippines 1T
would mean that imports from Great
Britain and all other foreign countries
are to be admitted at the same rates OF
duty as imports from the United States.
4Of course this policy could not be ap-.
piled to the Philippines if they should be
admitted into the Union with territorial
from of government. unless there should
be an amendment to the constitution,
permitting this. 1t is noticeable, how
ever, that in the resolution providing for
the annexation of Hawaii. passed at the
last session of Congress, it was provided
that the Hawaiian tariff should continue
in force until Congress should otherwise
determine.
sit is to be borne in mind that the
present talk about an open door policy
for the Philippines is intended to apply
entirely to these islands while under a
military administration.
-ssUf course it would be competent for
the Paris commissioners to incorporate in
the treaty with Spain D provision grant
pines equality of treatment with imports
years, and that provision in the treaty
when ratified by the Senate and projected
into law by Congress, would be the law
of the land.
stIn the discussion of thu open door
policy I notice that many papers assume
that it is uniform policy of Great Britain
in her relations with her colonies. 1t
should be borne In mind, however, that
there is conspicuous exception to this
case in the case 9t Canada, her most inn
portant colonies, which admits imports
from Great Britain at 25 per cent less
duty than they a1e admitted from the
United States and other countries. lit is
understood that this policy was adopted
BY Canada, If not on the suggestion, at
least with the approval of Air. Chamb ber-
lain, British secretary for the colonies
and that he Is urging other colonies Of
Great Britain to give similar preference
to that country. -

The men fiddled for some time. Lavigne

led first and reached the neck with left.
He tried several hard lefts for the face.
ali of which blocked. Tracy countersd
with couple of good body punches and
a left lab which left it's mark on La
vigne's eye.
In the second round Lavigne kept after
his man, Tut the shifty Australian kept
out of reach. Lavigne led for the body,
Tracy drew back and came in hard on
stomach with his left which was the best
blow landed SO far.
In the third Tracy sent in a co uple of
jabs on the face, which only served to
make Lavigne laugh and come back with
a rush. No effective work was done.
In the fourth, Iracy's wonderful quick
ness of foot kept him beyond the reach OF
most of Lavigne's chops and left swings
while Layigne's face showed red marks
from Tom left which his sasuperior reacls
enabled him to land.
In the fifth round Tracy jabhed left
hard on stomach, but George countered
with right on head Lavigne swung hard
left on the body which made Tracy vince
Tracy seemed tired from his continued
ayoiiancs of Layigne's rushes.
The sixth and seventh rounds were rep
etitions of those preceding, Laylgne
rushing and leading frequently with left
rlxy all n xp h n
Tracy avoided
The eighth and ninth rounds were
slightly in favor of Lavigne. his persistent
ehopping and swinging leaving the skin
on Iracy's body and neck ruddy hue.
Tracy stood his ground better In the
tenth and paid the Kid back in kind.
Up to this stage the fight was an even
thing.
Tha eleventh was Layigns's. He sent
in terrific left on the stomach which
caused Tracy's ever present smile to dis
appear.
The twelfth and thirteenth rounds were
Lavigne's by shade, though no real
effective work was done.
The fourteenth and fifteenth rounds were
Lavigne's, although Tracy made several
determined stands. staving off George 8
rushes, but always getting a little the
worst of the mix.
Lavigne held his lead with little
more added during the sixteenth, seven.
teenth and eighteenth. Tracy seemed the
W aker of the two and resorteti to defen-
sivs tactics.
In the nineteenth Tracy jabbed La
yigne's mouth hard several times, but
Lavigne responded with swings Tor the
body. The men fought carefully in the
twentieth and last round, neither taking
chances. Referee McDonaId gave the de.
cision to Lavigne, which was satisfactory
to the crowd.

: MORE TROUBLE FOR FRANCE.
The Picquart Affair Likely To Cause
More Commotion Than the nreyfus
Matter.

Paris, November 25.--The Picquart case
seems in the way of raising even a great
or storm than the Dreyfus affair. The
papers favorable to the general staR are
dumb in the face of the bare faced de-
cision of the military governor of Paris
General zurlinden, to try Col Picquart
by court martial, while those fayoring re-
vision are furious at this new attempt to
defeat justice and protest against the
court martial being ordered
Nobody believes that Col. Pioquart is
guilty of any crime except a courageous
desire to render Justice to Dreyfus but
on ell sides it is recognized that, in a
practically secret trial he may be con-
demned on some technicality thus attain
ing the apparent object, which is to
throw doubt upon his depositions before
the court Of Cessation in Lhe Dreyfus
trial.
Every one is asking.the motive OF General
Zur1inden in SO persistently pursuing
Col. Picquart and why court martial,
If necessary, could not be postponed until
the decision of the court of Cessation has
been given. Every one Is asking whether
IL IS desperate attempt to shield the
former minister OF war, General Mercier,
and the general staff even at the risk of
precipitating disaster and the nations
hatred and, in any event, of driving every
doubling person into the Dreyfusite
party.
A protest against the court martial OF
Picquart, bearing the signatures OF lead
ing authors, politicians and journalists Is
being widely circulated for further names
and will be presented to the government.
This evening it is reported that NJ. de
Hreycinct, minister for war, has con-
sented to be interpellated on tho subject
in the chamber of deputies next Monday,
when a sensational scene may be expected.
Another feature of the case as the tor-
rent OF hostile comments now poured on DE
Freoycinet who is accused Of quailing
before General Zurlinden and the general
staff
Maitre Labori, Col. Picquart's counsel,
saws he is convinced it will be impossible
to condemn Picquart on the charges of
forgery, but that the accused officer may
possibly be condemned on the charge of
communicating secret documents, al.
though their communication was III no
way inimical to the interests Of tho state.
Col. Picquart continued his evidence
befars the court of Cessation throughout
the whole day, and his deposition Is ex-
pscted to occupy several days more.
There is still some hope that he may re-
ceiye Justice, owing to the presence on the
court martial of Col. Bonnai, who is a
great friend of Piequart, but III. Glenen-
oeau, in Aurore, declares that the court
martial is packed and accuses NJ Defrey-
cinet of allowing an innocent man to bs
victimized in order to inorease his own
chances at the next presidential election.
