Some mors III behaved youngsters were
up before Judge Fisher Yesterday after
noon, two OF them on the charge ofsteal-
ing. The boys names are Thomas
Barney. George Ilenlch and John Swetlch
and they all live in Raymbaultown. 1t
developed at the examination that a
pair OF skis had been stolen from Adolph
Korra OF Florida. de knew that the
three boys were implicated in the affair
some way or other and he made thecom-
plant against them. Barney and
Ilenich tried to place the blame Tor the
act on Swetich, but he proved an alibi,
stating that he was in school at the time
the skis we're taken and that cleared him,
1t finally transpired that Barney, who
was the older OF the pair. had persuaded
llenicb, boy OF 8 years. to take the skis
and after they were stolen sold them and
appropriated the profits. Under the evi.
dence the Judge and County Agent Miller
thought Barney should be sentenced to
the Industrial School for Boys. but sen.
tence was suspended during good behav'
ior, while he was also fined s5 and the
costs, which were paid by bis father. The
other two younsters were given sound
talking to by both the Judge and MIR.
Miller and they promised to reform.
Mr.. Silvola, the truant officer, says the
boys. who form sort OF clique at South
Hecla, are hard lot and are continually
making trouble at the school, They will
not go to school themselves and very
often are up to all sorts OF tricks about |
the school building. Once they were sus-
pected OF breaking in and ransacking |
things, but it could not be proven ex.
actly who the offenders we're. However.
hey will be severely dealt with in the
uture.

The Lady Was Mistaken.

Coming up on the train a few nights
ago from Quantico the smoking car was
well filled, but few seats remaining va.
cant. In one seat was a small, restless,
yellow faced youth. He was about as
fidgety as they make them, and several of
the passengers were trying to solve in
their minds whether he had robbed hen
COOP stolen ham or was merely nervous
by nature. At Alexandria quite "a crowd
got on the train, including regular Afri-
can amazon. She made for the vacant
seat beside the little negro, but before tax
ing 1t asked in deep, masculine voice:
is this scat Occupied, sah2'
"No, lady, came the reply as meek as
If the owner of the voice were man of
the twentieth century, and down plunged
the gaudily dressed giantess. There was no
conversation for about five minutes, but
the actions of tho pair amused every one.
He looked up ut her out of the corners of
his eyes and she curved her neck and
glared down at him. The silence was at
last broken and SO suddenly that the little
man jumped in surprise. "Wot's yer
nameY" said tho woman.
John Williams" replied the mar in
almost inaudible tones.
The woman looked at him with snoer
and said, 81 think that is facntious
name" And all who heard it laughed.

Yet at the present day thousands are

that constipation is the father OF all dey-

diseases, but more especially on the rela-

closely and you might say sacredly con-

CIVILIZED methods play very active part

the Importance and truth OF the torepo-

tigation OF your past physical history
and see il you will not connect constipa-
tion with all the physical ills you have

POLICE ON THE TRAIL.
Running Down the Murdsrers OF
Thomas Walsh Of Joliet.
BODY FOUND NEAR PLAINFIELD.

| Omcers Believe solution of the Mysterf.
Gus AfFAir viii Soon He Reached-They
| Have discovered Where the Vehicle Was
Secured That Was Used to Take the Man
Away-when Found His Neck Was
Broken and Pockets Rifed.
Joliet, Ills. March l5-Chief OF Police
Bradley made the important discovery
that the vehicle in which Thomas
Walsh was taken to the spot where
his dead body was found was hired in
Joliet. The police also know the livery
man OF whom the rig was hired, and
are said 70 be on the trail of the mur-
derers. They are working quietly and
are suppressing facts which tend to
clear up the mystery of Walsh's death
in order that the guilty men shall have
less chance to escape
The body of Walsh was found on the
Plainfield road, ten miles from Joliet.
The boy who made the discovery ran
10 Plainfield and the Joliet police were
notified at once. In the afternoon Chief
Bradley and William Walsh, a nephew
of the deceased. went to Plainfield and
had the body conveyed to Joliet.
Neck Had Been Broken.
Undertaken Quinn held post-mortem
examination, and it was revealed that
Walsh's neck had been broken after a
severe struggle with his unknown as
sailants. The body had evidently been
thrown from a vehicle to the side of
the road after the clothing had been
rified of everything OF value except 45
cents. The fact that Walsh's shoes
Cshn Tn1 .zf
covers the Plainfield road tended to sub
stantiate the theory that Walsh was
taken from Joliet in a vehicle. The
investigation along this line which at
once followed resulted in the discovery
of the place where the rig was secured.
Joliet is excited over the crime. The
dead man was one of the most popular
merchants in the city. He was con-
nected with the firm of Robert Walsh
& Sons. grocers. and was in the habit
of handling and carrying large amounts
of money.
When Last Seen.
He had charge of the pay roll in the
store. and his position at the desk was
in plain view of the street. The last
seen of him was Saturday evening about
6 o'clock. when he left a barber shop
and started for his office. 1t has been
learned that he left his overcoat at the
office and other circumstances indicate
his intention was to return there and
some work.
His family did not feel alarmed when
he did not return home Saturday night
and nothing was known of his death
until the news came from Plainfield
that his body had been found one mile
from that place. Walsh is said to have
had no enemies in Joliet. He lived a
quiet retired life and this fact leads
the police to believe the murder was
for purposes of robbery It
is not known how much money he had
with him, but IL is believed il was not
less than $40.

Eleven Men Perish in the Bowery Mission
Lodging House.
New York. March 15-Eleven men
perished by fire in the Bowery Mission
at los Bowery. The bodies were recov-
cred, but so disfigured as to make
identification in most cases impossible.
The only body positively identified is
that of John Foran of Stapleton, S. l.,
a machinist, 2S years old, which was
claimed by his two brothers. Another
body is thought to be that of William
McDermott of Brooklyn, a painter, %
years old. The register of the lodging
house does not aid in the investigation,
for Bowery lodgers as often as not reg
lister under assumed names. Again. such
dodgers are often friendless. and leave
none to miss them and search for them

The small vote for the candidates who
ran without opposition Is accounted ior
by the fact that most OF those who voted
for either Wilcox or Kohlhaas marked
the head OF their ticket and accordingly
did not vote for any one else on the ballot.
In Laurium there was little more ex-
citement than in Red Jacket, as there
was opposition to the village nominees
for trustees and assessor as well as
treasurer. However, the regular nomi-
nation ticket went in with the exception
OF John McLennan. the nominee for
treasurer, who was beaten by Ben
Schwartz. McLennan's friends explain
his defeat by saying that all the candi-
dates who ran for the nomination at the
village caucus got together before the
election and drew lots to decide who
should run against McLennan, the others
agreeing to support and work for the
fortunate one, who proved to be
Schwartz. The fight was hot one from
start to finish.
In the evening after the returns became
known the Laurium band came out and
rendered some OF it's choicest music on
the streets, 80 ss to make il look as
much like an old time election as pos.
sible. The official figures are as follows:

ATTACKS SCHOFIELD.
Maj. Geo. A. Armes Springs a Sensa-
ton In War DEPARTMENT.

Washington, Sept. 2o.-Major George A.
Armes, retired army officer. who peri
Odically creates a sensation in Washing
ton, today filed with the president a pro-
test against the appointment of General
J. NJ. Schofield on the Alger commission
of inquiry. ArmeS calls attention to some
the secretary of war in regard to General
Schodeld. These letters charged Scho-
field with cowardtce and attempts to Shun
danger. Major ArmeS states:
Il think the records will show that he
claimed credit for. the victory at the bat
tie of Franklin and was breveted
through misrepresentation The medal
he now wears was a self-conferred dis
tinction for imaginary services. The rec
OrdS will also bear me out in saving tina {
he has shielded officers of the army whom
they would have been been caShfered or
sent to prison in order to save his friends.
In my opinion he is now trying to under
mine General Nelson A. Miles. I submit
that it is not fair treatment for General
Miles to throw him into eclipse by giving
this man SchOfield any recognition what
tenant general has been obtained by polit-
zeal intrigue, treachery and deceit The
time has come when this man Schoheld
should cease to pose as a great man"
Arrnes protested to Secretary AIgrer when
he heard that General Schofeld had been
summoned to washington in an advisory
capacity and the incensed officer insists
that it was this protest of his which led
to the withdrawal of General Schofield
from the scene early in the war. The
latest protest, filed directly with the pres
attention to what Armes believes is the
antagonism of an army ring.
The whole transaction is remarka BILE
and will probably attract a great deal of
attention in the war department. 1t is a
serious charge which Armes makes against
General Schofeld, and equally serious

10000 TROOPS
Will Be Sent to Cuba for Garrison
DUTY.

Washington, Sept. 20.-It is the pres
ent intention of the administration to
send to Cuba as a garrison force for the
island about 40, 900 troops, in addition to
the force now in Santiago under COM
mand of General LaWtOn. The Organi-
cations which are to compose the Cuban
garrison have not all been designated
yet. but it is assured that at least half
of them will be volunteers. Within
two weeks orders will be issued
for the movement to Cuba of the first
10000 of the permanent garrison, and
it is the expectation now that they will
sail from the United States about Octo-
Der 10. These troops will followed
quickly by others, until the entire force
of 40, 900 has been established on the is
land.
1t is not the intention of the admins
tration to await the evacuation of the
island by the Spanish forces, before
sending United States troops to Cuba,
as the indications now are that it may
be several months before the Cuban
Quite naturally a considerable number
of Spanish troops will remain on the is
land until the arrangements for the re-
lnQuishment of Spanish sovereignty
over it formally have been concluded.
The rainy season in Cuba is nearly at
an end and the most delightful season
of the year on the island is about to be-
gin. During the late fall and winter
months the climate is not only enjoya-
BILE. but healthful, and with such care
as will be taken for the health and COM
fort of the American forces to be sta
toned in Cuba, officials of the war de-
partment have no fear that serious ILL
ness among the men will follow the Oc-
cupation of the island.
