The most vexatious and discourage
ing feature OF the affair with Spain
which ended In the defeat OF the Cas-
lillian hosts is the fact that pending a
settlement Of the peace conditions
Spanish bsrbarity continues undated
in Cuba. According to reports received
by the Junta, the conditions of the
Cubans almost everywhere in the in
terror are deplorable and it seems the
purpose of the Spaniards to keep them
so as long as possible. 1t is a pity that
in view Of all circumstances that the
representatives of barbarous nation
that is now suing for peace should bo

The Tribune is not devoting It's entire
attention to that harmless little sheet.
The fact is that the Commonwealth Is
usually too monotonous in It's maund-
is difficult to keen the public entranced
for two or three years with one fire
report and one burglary tale when
even these have long been branded
as fakes. We can't even give the
Commonwealth credit for having dis
called conspiracy in the Peoples bank.

WHITE MAN THE AGGREssoR.


The Pillagers believed that their reser-
walton was to be taken from them with
out compensation. Congress heightened
this impression by striking out of the ap-
preparation bill an item to pay the In
dians for their lands. 1t is the old story.
The white man is always the aggressor.
Yet the white volunteers in Minnesota
are reported as in an ugly mood and like
ly to make short work OF the Indians, If
they get a chance.

One of the most reprehensibe sides
of the Quay persecution is the unrea-

has attacked eX-Treasurer Haywood.
No one has ever conscientiously con-

honest man, faithful and sincere in his
service to the state and unhinching
in his integrity. That he is charged
with conspiracy at this late day is
simply because he is Quays friend
Those who have instigated this accusa-

Mr.. John Steele, of Nebraska, fa-
miliarly known in the state as aCoal-
Oil Johnnie" says all the stories re-
garding his immense wealth, attained
from oil, and the free dissipation Of
his fortune are without foundation.
That his total income in the earlier
days Of oils boom was royalty in
the McClintock farm production. Mrs.
McClintock, its owner, had saved s6O,-
600 from the royalty, and she left 1t
to him. He invested the money in a
business block in Meadville, leaving
balance unpaid. Oil then dropped
from four dollars barrel to so cents;
he was unable to meet his obligations,
and turned the property over to other
parties at q great loss. Mr.. Steele says
he was only ID years old when all the
sensational stories were written about
him, and be was little lavish with
his money as boy would naturally

Very Strange.

The ghost story in yesterday q
Herald has brought out records OF
other ghosts in this part Of the
country. Several days ago Mrs.
J.. Miller, living at the southt. i
end of the viaduct went out with
Mrs. Morton to make some kodak
pictures. They, in their rounds,
visited the home of Rev. M. Arm
Armstrong, pastor of Grace church
and knocking at all the doors and
trying to raise Rev. and Mrs. Arm
strong, discovered that no one was
at home. Finally they decided to
make picture of the place and
did so. Mrs. Miller and Mrs.
Morton looked about the premises
closely and are sure, absolutely
certain, that there was no one,
large, or small, near the premises
when the picture was taken. When
it was developed, however, it was
found that in the picture was a
perfect photograph of a little girl.
No child was about when the pic
ture was taken. The features and
dress OF the child are strange, and
no one can be found who knows
the child, which has caused Mrs.
Miller much worry and concern. |
She believes it a remarkable phe-
nomenon or freak of the super
natural, and attaches significance
to it. The picture is very puzzling
to the ladies who made it.-Deni-
son Herald.

With all of the restrictions, en-
phasized by the most positive dec
larations from the U. s. court in
the northern district, there were
nine indictments returned by the
recent grand jury sitting at Viuita,
for murder. This is remarkable
showing, especially when it is re-
membered that whisky is generally
credited with at least three-fourths
of the murders committed. TAX
ing as a basis for argument both
the central and southern districts
have furnished but eleven murder
indictments in the past nine
months, and admitting that there
is the same percentage Of whisky
cases the northern district is GER
tainly entitled to the palm. Anent
all this there is the underlying
reason. the chief cause--whisky.
1t is a report worthy Of credence

Mr.. EDITOR: Inasmuch as some
of the taxpayers do not understand
what the compromise in Pickens
Township bond case vii save
them, I ask that you publish the
below agreement, which saves
them so per cent. on the bonds and
accrued interest and so per cent.
of the interest that will accrue in
the next ten years.
"This agreement between the
National Bank of Augusta and
Pickens Township in the county
of Edgefeld, Wilnesseth:
That the said par les have agreed
upon compromise of matters now
pending between them in the fol-
lowing way, to wit:
The case now pending in the
United States Court is to be con-
tinued until after the next session
of the legislature. At that session
the attorney for the township is to
use his best efforts to procure an
act passed exempting Pickens
Township from the operation of
the act passed at tho last session
of the legislature in regard to
township bonds and providing for
the annual collection of interest
on the bonds to be retained by the
National Bank and for the pay
ment or refunding of principal of
the said bonds, or so much thereof
as shall be retained at the time
when they fall due. This act is to
be drawn by the attorneys for t
bank and the township, satisfac-
tory to the attorneys for the bank
and township.
Immediately after the passage
of the said act judgment is to be
obtained in the case now pending
in the United States Court on the
coupons sued on and affirming the
validity OF. the bonds from which
said coupons were cut. The bank
is then to compromise it's holdings
of the bonds and coupons by can-
ceiling and surrendering all the
coupons which had matured more
than six years at the time of the
commencement of said action. II
is to retain so per cent. of the
coupons and interest which ma
tured within six years at the time

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the WOMB, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience rnani-
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. 70 find ont correctly, set
your urine aside for 81 hour; &
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
lied. If you need medicine ycn
should have the best. At druggists,
price fifty cents and one dollar.

ceipt of three two-cent stamps to cover

WHAT COMPROMISE
MEANS.
To THE VOTERS OF PIcKENs Town

To THE VOTERS OF PIcKENs Town.
SHIP:
On March 18th, Saturday of this
week, the voters of Pickens Town
ship are called upon to decide the
questions as to whether they will
resist the payment OF Bonds in
aid of railroads never built, or
whether they are willing to COM
promise debt which they do not
owe. AS no other proposition has
ever been submitted in the way of
a compromise except the bill which
was introduced in the last session
of the legislature, it is to be infer
red that this is the compromise
the voters will be called on to ap-
prove or disapprove. This Bill
has already been disapproved by
our people both IL petitions and
mass meeting. The bill is too
lengthy to quote in full, but I
have been careful to have it con-
strued by parties competent. Their
construction is as I shall give it..
First, the Bill validates not just
the $6O0O.O0 of bonds now being
sued on in the courts, it validates
the whole issue on the railroad III
Pickens Township. Section l., of
the bill says, THAT upon the pre-
sentation to the County Supervi-
sor of Edgeheld County, or such
officer or officers, upon whom by
law the duties of said Office, or
similar duties, may hereafter de-
volve, by the holders thereof of the
bonds and coupons of said town.
ship issued as aforesaid, or any of
them" &C., it shall be the duty of
such officer to validate the bonds
according to the terms of the bill.
Then under this bill the whole is
sue by Pickens to the Mitchell
road will be validated by way of
compromise.
Now what is the Compromise?
The bill by its advocates pretends
to be a compromise at so cents on
the dollar. This is not true. The
bi in the portion defining the
compromise says that the Super:
visor shall arrive at the validated
portion of the bonds as follows
