MOB AFTER A PREACHER.
He is in Jail on Charge of Arson in
Missouri.

Sedalia, Mo-, July 23.-Rev R. E.
Howell, the Christian minister in jail at
Warrensburg, Johnson county, on the
charge of arson is threatened with
lynching. He was arrested at Oswego.
Kan, few days ago in company with
Mrs William Henderson, with whom he
had eloped from Warrensburg, but the
charge of adultery was dismissed in or
der that he might be prosecuted on the
more serious charge of arson, it being
alleged that he promised a country lad
500 to burn his leased residence in order
that he might obtain the insurance.
When Howell was arrested and re-
turned to Warrensburg the boy weak
ened and confessed his part in the
crime. Last night a party of men sur
rounded the jail at Warrensbure. their
object being to take the preacher from
the custody of Sheriff Lear, but they
were driven off
Henderson, the wronged husband,
yesterday posted himself where he
could see HowelPs window in the jail,
hoping to get a shot at him, but was
discovered and driven away

SOLDIERS TO VOTE.
Provisions Made for Them to Cast
Their Ballots While Away
From Home.

Secretary of State Bush has been
making some figures to ascertain the
probable cost of conducting the election
among the soldiers. 1t was at first pro-
posed to have tally sheets for every
voting precinct in the state represented
by the soldiers in the field.
But when Mr.. Bush began making
figures and computing the cost he was
appalled,. He found that it would cost
the state S35, 900 to have the necessary
printing done. That would make the
election a very expensive one. At last
he decided to have blanks printed and
have the necessary precincts town
ships and counties and other necessary
words written in by clerks. Mr.. Bush
says that it can be done in this manner
for about $4,000. 1t will be necessary to
employ a few extra clerks but the work
Will be started in time so that the Of
flee force can do a part of it.
1t is probable about one soldier in 100
will want to vote. Nearly all of them
Will be uniformed on the issues and
the candidates and it will be difficult
for them to vote intelligently.

PINGREE IN WASHINGTON.
With Characteristic Energy He Makes
Personal Investigation.

Washington, July Ex-Governor Hazen
Pingree of Michigan is in Washington. He
came to the capital to find out from the
officials of the war department just what
Michigan is entitled to receive or demand
from the United States as he expressed
it. Governor Pingree asserts he did not
come to Washington looking for trouble,
but he would not avoid a mix-up if Gichi-
gan will gain anything by it. Michigan
comes in for first choice, and if the Of
hcials do not do right by Michigan and
her soldier boys Governor Pingree sees to
1T himself and makes the government pay
for it.
Governor Pingrees meeting with Secre-
tary Alger was cordial, but in view of
some tart remarks the governor made in
Detroit on Monday last anent certain cab
met officers it was expected that some
thing of a rumpus would take place when
the two prominent citizens of Michigan
met. On the contrary the governor and
secretary of war were closely closeted for
two solid hours, and during the session
occasional laughter emanated from Sec
rotary Ayers private office. Governor
Pingree got what he came for, and his
face was wreathed in smiles when he left
the war department for his hotel.
During a recent visit to Washington in
the interests of Michigan's soldier bays
Governor Pingree had a seance with Cen
eral Miles. He discovered that some of
the Michigan troops had been sent to
Cuba clothed in heavy blue wooden uni
forms. 1t made the governor mad, and
he did not hesitate to express his views to
General Miles. He said the Michigan
boys were entitled to the best of every
thing the government could but did not
supply. If the government would not
provide light canvas uniforms for the SOL
diers, the governor told General Miles he
would do it himself and charge it up
to the war department.
General Miles reminded Governor Pin
gree that the uniforms must be of the
regulation style, but the governor is quot
ed as having replied that style did not
cut much of a figure long as the Michi-
gan boys were provided with something
cool and serviceable in the way of uni
forms. Governor Pingree went back to
Michigan. ordered a lot of drab-colored
serge uniforms for the Thirty-ffth regi-
ment, encamped at Island Lake Michi-
gan. The uniforms We're of his own de-
sign and were made under his supervision.
what is good enough for the boys is
good enough for me-" said the governor
when he jumped off the train at the Penn
sylvania depot this morning. 1t was true,
too, for the governor was attired in a SOL
dier's uniform and called particular atten-
ton to it when he presented his claim to
Secretary Alger. Governor F'ingree pre-
scented other claims. also, covering the en-
tire expense to which the state of Iichi-
gan was put in equipping its troops for
service, and when he had received the as
surance that ali matters would be amicably
adjusted he impressed on Secretary Alger
the necessity of calling out the Thirty
fifth Michigan for Immediate service. Sec
/ rotary Alger promised this, too. Governor
Pfngree expects to go home tomorrow

The underlying cause of nervous de-
bility, apparent in headaches, dyspepsia,
sleeplessness and neuralgia, is faulty
nutrition of the entire nervous system.
So long as the blood is pale, watery
and hampered by bad humors the
nerves cannot assimilate proper nOurish-
ment, no matter how much food is ia
ken into the system. Paine's celery
compound arOuses a hearty appetite,
regulates the bowels and brings about
a normal action of the liver.
This is the sweeping and thorough
manner in which Paine's celery COM
pound frees the system not only of
rheumatism, eczema, salt rheum and
other diseases due to impure blood; but
also of neuralgia, sleeplessness and
nervous headaches and dyspepsia that
are brought about by a run down.
state of the nerves.
The use of Paine's celery compound
makes all the difference between i'm
pure, sluggish blood and tired nerves;
and healthy, energetic bodily condi-
ton.

sixty yards of them and as I could see

be done to win and keep the friendship
of the insurgent Cubans, and they
should be made to know that the only
purpose of the United States in waging
war against Spain was to secure for
all the people of Cuba relief from the
oppression of Spanish rule, and a stable
and satisfactory government establish

this government to drive the Spaniards

caused by loco weed poisoning.

Disorderly Wanderers.

Complaints by citizens of Quinton
Heights and vicinity have been made
to the police and sheriff about a crowd
of campers who are stopping just north
of Dudley's farm on Topeka avenue,

orgies. People who have gone to re-

by an elderly woman with a shotgun who
threatened them with violence if they
intruded. Last night the crowd was

noise. Today he went out and notified
the campers to move on or they would
be arrested upon the first occasion of
complaint.
