From Which DAN
gerOuS Blood
Poison Re-
suits.

Il matters not how blood
poison is acquired, whether by
inheritance or accident, it is
a stubborn, obstinate disease
and one which the doctors find
themselves unable to success
fully treat. Whenever there is
the slightest impurity in the
blood, any accident which pro-
duces even q trivial bruise or
confusion of the flesh, is likely
to result seriously. Chronic
sores and ulcers often result
from such causes, and in many
cases they are so obstinate that
lit takes years to get rid of them.
The doctors are unable to cure
such cases because potash and
mercury (the only remedies
which they ever prescribe for the
bloody tend to shut in the pois-
on and dry it up in the blood.
Here it lies dormant for a while,
only to break out In 9 more ag-
gravated form than before.
This treatment is continued
and the same conditions exist
for years, the old sore or ulcer
becoming q constant compan-
ion to those whom it afilicts.
Capt. J. H. McBrayer, the
jwell-known distiller of fine Ken
lucky WHISTLES, had just suoh
an experience, and he Is so de-
lighted to find a cure after
many years of suffering that no
wants everybody to know Just
how to get rid of these horrible
chronic sores. He now resides
at Lawrenceburg, KY, and
writes:
"Some years ago l was shot IN the
left leg, receiving what | considered
only slight wound. The place was
slow in healing and became much
swollen, increasing in size and be-
coming quite angry-looking and in
famed. Before long it had devel-
oped into a running sore, and gave
me a great deal of pain and incon-
venienee. l was treated by many
doctors, and took a number of blood
remedies but none did me any good,
and did not seem TO check the prog
ress of the sore. / had heard Swifts

DEATH OF JUDGE DAY.
Iowa. E1-chief Justice Noted for HI.
Prohibition Law Decision Passes
Away Suddenly.

James Gamble Day, ex-chief Justice
of Iowa, dropped dead at his residence
in this city. He was talking with his
son James, when he gasped and fell
forward in his chair. He died of heart
disease, probably induced by brooding
over the death of his wife, which oc-
Cured about three weeks ago.
Judge Day was born in Ohio 60 years
ago. He came to Iowa in 1860 and en-
gagged in practice at Alton. After few
months residence there he enlisted in
the United States army and served until
wounded. Upon returning home he
learned he had been elected Judge of
the district court during his absence.
He served in that capacity until 1870,
when he was elected chief justice of the
supreme court on the republican ticket.
Judge Day continued on the supreme
bench until 1854, when he wrote the IA
nous decision declaring the election at
which The prohibitory amendment was
submitted and carried nnconstitu-
tional, necessitating the passage of the
Clark prohibitory law. The opposition
to him in his own party because of this
decision forced him out of politics and
caused him to affiliate with the demo-
Gratis in state matters until the Anal
overthrow of prohibition.

AT CAMP MCKINLEY.

An Interesting Account of Day Spent
with the Iowa Volunteers.
DIES MONIES, May z, '98.
Editor PLAIN DEALER:
will give short description of my
visit at the camp yesterday for the
benefit of the readers of the PLAIN
DEALER.
Camp Mckinley is located on the
State Fair Grounds in the eastern
suburbs Of the city. The street cars,
which run every five minutes, carry a
continuous stream of visitors to and
from the grounds.
We arrived at camp at 8 q. m. AL
most the first man we met was our
friend Elmer johnson, of Chester,
He was clad in uniform with blue
overalls which he had provided for
himself (Uncle Sam being short on
pants) and looked as robust and
healthy as ever.
We first visited the general living
and sleeping apartments. The boys
appear to be quite comfortably To-
Gated in COW sheds, horse stalls, be-
meath the amphitheater and in the
various other buildings. In fact, ev-
cry building available seemed crowd
ed to the brim. There are few tents
in use, not to exceed dozen in all
The beds are made of about three
inches of straw on the ground or
plank floor with one army blanket
| for each man.
We next turn our attention to the
cooking apartment. This is an affair
after the typical army style. A trench
half feet wide covered with few
strips of iron supplies the want of a
stove. The fire is made of green cord
wood. The cooking vessels are most
| ly old washboilers and milk cans
The only covering for this novel
kitchen and pantry Is the blue sky
| which makes it very convenient for
the escape of smoke and the catching
of rain water. The eating tables are
made of planks, mostly in the open
air, though some enjoy the luxury of
canvas covers. The rations consist
of potatoes, bacon, rice, beans, coffee,
sugar, bread. and occasionally few
green vegetables.
The routine of the day is something
like this: roll call 6:15 a. M; drill 600
to 1870 a. m; drill $50 to 4:30 p. IN.
and dress parade at 6 p. m.
The day passed without incident OF
note until $3.50 when preparation was
made Tor review by Governor SHAW
After some delay on account OF
threatening rain, the boys fell in line
and marched to a vacant strip OF
ground about a mile west of camp.
Here they formed in line and awaited
the arrival OF the Governor. They
had not long to wait. The reviewing
party soon made it's appearance,
Governor Shaw was mounted on his
fine bay attended by the Governor
staff all we'll mounted. The three
thousand soldiers in full uniform, the
stars and stripes and the Governor
and his party mounted on their spir
tied horses marching to the tune Of
Hail to the Chief" made a touching
sight never to be forgotten.
After the review the order was Civ.
en- to return to camp and we were
compelled to say good bye to Camp
Mckinley and the boys in blue.

WHIPS A PREACHER.
Young Woman Severely CastfEates
Dominie at the Mount
Hope Church.

Reports were received IN Cedar Falls
OF scene enacted at what is known as
Mount Hope church, Is miles northeast,
at the close of a morning service. The
story, as told by an eyewitness, relates
that Miss Kate Michal was seriously
offended al the church pastor because OF
her dismissal from the Young Peoples
alliance of the church last Sabbath,
and as the minister was leaving the
church Immediately at the close of the
services Miss Michal greeted him at the
door with a whalebone horsewhip and
administered to the startled preacher a
terrible whipping.
When the friends of the preacher at
tempted to interfere and rescue the
dominic from the enI7lged girl local
character known as Professor"
Thomas drew revolver and threatened
to shoot the man who dared to ussist
the minister or stop the girl.
According to accounts. Miss Michal
continued the castigntion unit! the min
lister was about ready to drop from pain
and exhaustion. and then, accompanied
by Thomas, drove home, while friends
cared for the bruised and laoerated
preacher.

BREAD RIOTS IN ITALY.
Necessary to Proclaim Martial Law in
Tuscany-Situation IL Con-
sidered Grave.

Rome, May s.-The general situation
here is regarded as being distinctly
grave. It now seems to be clearly
demonstrated that politics are mixed up
in the disturbances which have CO.
CURED In various parts of the kingdom,
owing to the high price Of bread, and
the clerical party is believed to be TO-
menting the disorder. A royal decree,
issued Saturday, proclaimed martial
law throughout Tuscany, one OF the
most fertile and best cul tivated parts Of
Italy.
There was renewal of serious riot
ing at Florence, the capital Of Tuscany,
and there were further disturbances at
Leghorn, capital of the province OF that
name, situated on the Mediterrean sea,
about so miles from Florence. At both
places number of rioters We're killed
or wounded by the troops detailed to
maintain order.
Rome, May 9.-There were serious
bread riots at Milan, resulting in the
proclamation Of martial law. Thou
sands of workmen barricaded the
streets with overturned horse cars and
furniture from pillaged houses, endeav-
oring to prevent the departure of the
reserves who have been called out for
active duty owing to the many recent
disturbances. There were several en-.
counters between the military and the
rioters. Three citizens were killed and
several were wounded.
AS this dispatch was sent from Milan
the troops were in possession of the
main streets of that city.

All Around the State.
NEVER WERE MARRIED.
Queer Position That the Widow of Q
Soldier of the War of 1872
Finds Herself In.

A lawyer in Sioux City tells of q
strange state of affairs that came to his
notice several years ago while practic-
ing in the eastern part of the state. He
had not been out of college very long,
and to start in gave considerable at
tention to pension claims. One day an
old woman, possibly 80 years of age,
came to his Office. She was the widow
of a soldier of the war of 1912 and
wanted him to look up her pension
claim. He asked her to show her proof
of marriage. The applicant said some
where In her house she had the mar
riage license that had been issued to her
in one of the eastern states before that
war. But she had not been able to find
il. She was told then that she must Sc
cure affidavits of some people who had
known her husband, and of the fact
that they had lived together for years
and had brought up family. One of
the grown-up sons was with her at the
time, and he secured the necessary in.
formation.
But to be sure that everything was all
right the lawyer wrote to the clerk OF
the courts of the county in which the
original license had been issued. That
officer replied that the license had been
Issued, but that no return of marriage
had ever been made. In a few days the
old woman came back to see her lawyer
about the matter and by that time she
had found the time-worn marriage
license. But that was all she did have
1t afterward developed that the couple
had understood that when the license
was issued to them that it was all that
was necessary. They never called in u
preacher to perform the ceremony, and
had lived together all those years, and
had brought I'D q large family.

pEREEcr1NG PLANS.
Military Force Is soon to Be Sent
Into Cuba.

Tampa, Fla, May 9.-Lieut. Col, w.
II. Lawton, inspector general of the de-
partment of the southwest, who went
to Key West Thursday for the purpose
of holding conference with Admiral
Sampson and making final arrange
ments for the cooperation of the block
aiding squadron with the military eX-
petition from Port Tampa, returned
Saturday and reported at once to Gen.
Shafter. 1t Is almost certain that the
exact point of landing on the Cuban
coast has been decided upon and prob
ably also the date of sailing, but army
officials absolutely refuse to give out
any information on the subject, mere
ly saying that notice will be given 90
hours before the time set for departure.
Capt. j. Fl. Dorst, aide to Gen. Miles,
is expected to arrive in Tampa in a day
or two from Cuba, where he has been in
communication with Gen. Gomez. 1t is
believed that upon his report will de-
pend in great measure the number OF
troops to be sent into Cuba by the Unit
4 ed States government.

DRIVEN INSANE.
Harold Whittle.ey, of Web.ter city
the Victim of a Joke That
Makes Him a Maniac.

AS result of a practical joke, Harold
Whittlesey. of Webster City, is ma
MAC. He was returning home from Chi
cage. where he had disposed of two cars
of cattle. He fell asleep and the con-
dnctor, thinking to have little fun
with the man while he was in drowsy
condition, informed him that while he
would get him home if possible, since
the war broke out the governments
latest order was to seize every able
bodied man and press him into The
service.
The conductor took few travelling
men into his confidence, and by the
time Whittlesey reached the depot at
Bushby he was in g. terrible condition
mentally. Then the conductor and the
other jokers tried to explain the situa-
ton, but the victim could not be made
to understand the joke. When the train
stopped at the platform Whittlesey
rushed out like wild deer.
he made straight for the corn cribs
at his home and the utmost efforts Of
his family to get,him from his hiding
place were unavailing. He had been
made a jibbering maniac and will be
taken to the asylum.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Stockholders in a Corporation Not
Responsible for Claims When
Steck IL Only Collateral.

Judge Holmes rendered decision in
Des Moines in the case of P. F. Norris
sey VS.. the Valley national bank, which
is in effect that the holders of stock in
a corporation, If it is held as collateral,
cannot be considered responsible for
claims against the corporation. At
torneys at the courthouse, after the de-
cision had been made, said that no de-
cision covereing the same ground pre-
cisely bad been rendered in any state
court. The decision was in favor of the
bank, and will prevent suits on the same
grounds which would have been brought
by others having claims against the de-
funct Oak and Highland Park Improve
ment company. 1t is estimated that
claims amounting to $780, 900 would have
been urged.

OBJECTS TO OLD GLORY,
cipnI to Prevent a Flag Rais-
Ing In Burlington.

Much excitement was caused in Bur
lington by the refusal of Principal E.
Poppe, of the public schools, to allow
the stars and stripes to float from the
flagstaff of the building. The high
grade boys had requested that the flag
be raised, and when they were refused
struck from Rotations and marched in
a body to the Office of Director Ilick,
who at once wrote an order for the
hosting Of the flag. Waving this order
in the air and beating drums and -four
ishing flags the boys returned to the
school. where, after considerable oppo-
sition, the flag was raised. The citizens
took sides with the boys and the grand
army post threatened to raise the flag
by force.
