From the Philadelphia Press.
New York, Oct est is reported that
the papers in the Carter court martial
have recently been reviewed by ex-senator
George F. Edmunds, whose findings have
been transmitted to the President. It is
said that he concludes that the court went
beyond its authority in taking evidence,
and that its whole proceedings were void
from strictly legal point of view.
According to Senator Edmunds' alleged
view, this finding of the court martial
has no standing in law. Whether the
President will accept this view remains
to be seen. The knowing ones say that he
will, and that new case Will be made
against Carter, on the ground that his riv-
er and harbor works were fraudulent and
wastefui of the federal funds intrusted to
him.

HARD UP FOR AMMUNITION.
Morning Paper Shows the Desperation to
Which CraIle Is Driven.

When Il newspaper will publish such
stuff and nonsense as the Union in
duiges itself in this morning about
| City Clerk Huesing .'brOw beating a
woman, it demonstrates the point of
desperation to which Cralle, the re-
pu blican shrievalty candidate is driv-
en-. The substance of this latest ri
diculous attack on MIR. Huesing is that
Mrs. John Kol!off. janitress at the pub
lie library, on going to the city clerk S
office Yesterday on an errand from
the librarian-with some certificates
of bills allowed-was admonished by
Mr.. Huesing that che had better look
after that husband of yours. > as he
was too active, politically speaking.
The story the morning paper prints is
that Mr.. HuesinI, after transacting
the business with the janitress. asked
her if she was going to the
Federal unions dance of last night
and receiving an answer that
while she could not speak for herself,
she knew her husband would be there,
Mr.. Hresing then made the sugges-
ton that she had better look out for
her husband, whose partisan activity
was so offensive as to place her own
position in jeopardy. After detailing
this alleged conversation the Union
resorts to the sentimental by saying
that while Mrs. Kolloff knew her hus-
band to be an outspoken republican,
she felt she had been the victim of a
threat to have her own place taken
from her, but she would not. how
ever. much as she valued it ask for
bearance-nor seek TO restrain her
husbands free expression. Mr..
Kolloff, who is apparently re-
sponsible for the Unions wall. imag-
ines that Mr.. Huesing is pursuing
him in that the latter, he declares,
caused him 10 lose his job as fireman
at the waterworks. and that at the
time intimated to him in strong
terms that he had no use for him. Even
in the face of the circumstances
which the Union relates, which none
will doubt as highly exaggerated, if
indeed based on any foundation what
ever, the yarn is too silly to be Sc
riously considered All who do bust
ness at the city clerks of1ice-and
there are hundreds of people all over the
city who do-will bear testimony to Mr..
Huesing's uniform courtesy and Oblig-
ing disposition, and if he had jok-
ingly suggested to Mrs. Kolloff that
she exercise well-earned preroga-
tive of wOman's rights as bread
Garner, and call the liege lord rep
rcsentative of her family down for
gratifying his political prejudices
to the border of offensive parti-
sanship, the remark should have
been accepted as an unusual compl-
ment to Mr.. KolloT's political infiu-
ence. which it is hardly believed Mr..
Huesing would be ready to cOncede.
But these are times when the dem
ocratic candidates should be particu-
larry guarded in their remarks, and
above ali else should not indulge in
sarcasm. The republicans are grasp
ing at straws and mountains are made
of mole hills.

An Extraordinary Request Which the City

of him remains to be seen. That the
rights he already enjoys are of great
recognized value is no more clearly
demonstrated than in the way the
opportunities he has secured are be-
ing improved. But the city cannot,
must not, give away any more of her
levee. Conceding that Mr.. Blair
brings all that he promises TO Rock Isl
and-and which it is the fervent hope
of all that he will-there still may be
more TO follow The fondest dreams
of more and greater transportation
facilities than we now enjoy may be
realized, and vet the same old river
will continue to flow unveXed by our
doors. The great natural artery of
commerce, upon whose bosom Rock
Island was nurtured, may continue to
be her mainstav if she does not move
back and put a barrier between her
self and natures gift Rock Island
must submit to no interference with
the improvement to which she is
now devoting her energies. To cede
further rights on the river front would
be to waste that which has already
been expended and to deprive the city
of that which the people of Rock Isl
and are most anxious should be pre-
served for all time.

BESSEMER is DEAD.
He Invented the Steel Process Which
Bears His Name.

London, March 16-Sir Henry Bessemer,
the celebrated inventor of bessemer steel,
died last evening.
Sir Henry Bessemer, whose name is in
separately connected with the steel indus
try, was born in Hertfordshire in 1913.
His discovery of the means of rapidly and
cheapIy converting pig iron into steel by
blowing a blast of air through the iron
when in a state of fusion was the result
of costly and laborious experiments which
extended over a long period and in which
the end was attained only after many
revolutionized the whole iron trade of
the world in the short space of thirty
years.
From his earliest youth he was fond
of modelling and designing patterns, and
the Royal academy. Not until 1856 how
ever did he read before the British as
ISOLATION at Cheltenham the paper on the
manufacture of malleable iron and steel
which first attracted attention to the very
high character of his scientific attain
ments.
He was the recipient of scores of dis
tinctiOns from the crowned heads of Eu-
rope and from the scientific and learned
societies In 1879 he was president of
the Iron and Steel institute of Great Brit
ain, and in this country the cities of Bes-
semer, Ala, and Bessemer. Mich, with
several places of less Importance, were
named after him in recognition of the
value of his invention. He received his
lxnighthOOd in 1879.

HAD DOUBLE SURPRISE.
Officer Haisch Puzzled by a Mys3eri-
Gus Disappearance.

Officer Haisch Puzzled by a Mys1eri-
Gus Disappearance.
Officer John Haisch was walking leis-
urely down Fifth street in Kansas City
with an unlighted cigar in his mouth
Haisch was looking for man, one of
Topeka's' law breakers, and his orders
were to get him. Haisch had been
hunting all day without success and he
was becoming discouraged, so he step
ped into a cigar store, bought a cigar
and started to renew his search before
train time
While walking down Fifth street he
drew a match from his pocket struck it,
and while in the act of lighting his ci-
gar, he glanced across the street and
saw the man he wanted, Albert Hen
derson, formerly of Topeka, shining
mans shoes.
Henderson was wanted here for jail
breaking, and as soon as the Topeka Of
hcer had the fire in his cigar well under
way, he started across the street to ar
rest the bootblack, but 10, and behold,
when he arrived on the other side of
the street, Henderson had disappeared
as if the ground had opened and swal-
lowed him up. The man, whose shoes
were being shined, was mad. There was
one shoe shined and one shoe not
shined.
"Where did that fellow go?" asked
Haisch.
I don't know said the man. ''I look
ed down and he was gone"
Haisch was sorry he stopped to light
his cigar, but that same cigar saved the
city of Topeka 81 railroad fare, for when
Haisch returned to Topeka in the after
noon he found Henderson behind the
bars in the city prison. It was only
half dozen hours before that he had
seen him in Kansas City.
Where did that fellow come from?''
asked the astOnished officer
1--WE arrested him in the Santa F'e
yards" replied the jailer.
Henderson said: Il see you a comm

SAPOLIO

May has been fixed by several prom
inent house Republicans as the date be
yOnd which 1.-THE session will probably
not be prolonged.
The Democrats of the house generally
favor an early adjournment, although
there is not unanimity among them on
this point Neither is there complete
harmony on the Republican side of the
house as to an early adjournment.
Many of the Republicans believe that
congress should remain in session until
the Cuban question is finally and effect
ually cleared up, but they would hardly
go to the extent of opposing the wish of
the leaders of the administration.
It is admitted on the house side that
the question of carrying out this ar
rangement will depend entirely upon the
attitude of the senate.

Eidicule, However, is Not Argumen9
and Facts are Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and
in many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestiOn. Many such pride themselves
on never being humbugged especially
on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion, rather than risk a, lit
tie time and money in faithfully testing
the claims of preparation so reliable
and universally used as DR.. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine. no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
geStiVe fermentS, pure aSeptic pepSin,
the digestive acids. Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux- They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerful
Iy on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan OF d1geS-
ing the food eaten promptly, thorough
" before it has time to ferment, sour
and cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trOu-
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af-
ter meals, digest the food. That is all
there is to it. Food not digested or half
digested is poison, as it creates gas. aci-
dity, headaches, palpitation of the heart
loss of flesh and appetite, and many
other troubles which are often called by
some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package. Address

gist for it.

TALKING ADJOURNMENT.
Congress
IS Preparing to Go Home
May I.

Washington, March 16-The Republi-

for an early adjournment, and it is said
their course meets the full approval of

All save three of the appropriation
bills have gone to the senate. The post
office bill was taken up in the house to-
day and the appropriations and navy
committees are working daily to get the
last two bills, the general deficiencyand
naval, into the house.
The action of the appropriations com
nittee in preparing the general deficfen-
cy bill at this time is the best evidence
of the intention of the leaders to secure
an early adjournment.
This bill is always held back until the
last,as it contains all the odds and ends

CUT OFF FROM HELP.
Northern Maine People Snow Bound
and Threatened With Starvation.

and Threatened With Starvation.
Bangor, March 16-Since the whole
northern part of Maine was buried a
week ago in snow, imprisoning people
in their houses and numbering crews in
their camps, there has been great suf-
fering for lack of provisions and in
some cases the need has approached
actual starvation. Now the situation
has been relieved to great extent by
the formation of a heavy crust, which
is nothing short of godsend to the
snOWbound.
On this crust, which is in many places
six inches thick, men and horses travel
with great rapidity and the greatest
ease, without reference to roads or any
travelled routes. The snow is away
over stumps and fences, so that the
frozen surface is free from instructions,
and in some localities pleasure parties
go out for moonlight rides on the crust.
When the breakup comes the roads in
for weeks, and everybody is making
preparations as for a siege.
Reports from some # the .up-riVer
lakes, where, for some reason. the crust
has not formed or is too weak to bear
the weight of men, say that the situa-
ton of some of the imprisoned logging
crews is critical. Their provisions are
almost exhausted, and there is no pros
pect OF relief for a week or more. Sup
plies for these camps must so in on
sleds drawn by men on snowshoes. Up
on the ice in the lakes, which are the
usual avenues of approach to the camps
lies a foot or more Of slush, and over
that from three to five feet of light dry
snow, which acts as blanket to pre-
vent the slush from freezing. In this
sea OF snow and slusn horses founder
helplesSly, and so the only way in which
provisions for the men and fodder for
the starving horses in the camps can
be transported is upon sIeds drawn by
men, with other men ahead shoveIfng
and strewing boughs along the road.

CHINA GOING TO PIECES.
The Provinces Cannot Much Longer

London, March 16.-Sir William Rob
inson. who has Just arrived in London
from Hong Kong, of which colony he
has been governor since 1891, in an in
terview today, warmly advocated an I'M
Outstanding with the United States on
the Chinese question saying the aims
of the United States in regard to China
were identical with those of Great Brit
ain. He added:
There is a feeling in Hong Kong and
Shanghai that the Chinese provinces
cannot hold together much longer. They
are already partly independent, not on
" of each other, but also of the lmper-
ial government"
