Another Fakir.

A smooth individual appeared at the
Bells House last week and registered
as E. Nj. Sloan, Port Huron, Mich, but
this is probably an alias. He began a
canvass of the city for advertisements to
be printed on a Catholic calendar and
succeeded in getting quite a number.
Brother Heise of the WochenbIatt, who
had not yet learned to let these travel
Ing frauds alone, accepted the job of
printing the calendars. Sloan had not
secured a sufficient number of ads to
fill all the spaces, but his ingenious
mind did not faIter-the spaces were
filled with unauthorized ads. When
Brother Heise had struck proof, Sloan
nervily went about town and collected
what was due. Having pocketed all the
cash he could secure and being in pos
session of suit of clothes purchased Of
Jacob Paff and on which over S25 was
due, he attempted to get out of town
Thursday, leaving bis hotel bill unpaid
and several other creditors to mourn.
The victims, however, detected the con-
templated fraud and the police were
notified. After considerable search
Sloan was found hiding down at the
Chicago Excelsior CO. works and was
brought to town. He returned the suit
of clothes to Mr.. Paf, and gave Mart
Smith few dollars on account, claim
ing it was all the cash he had. The
other victims of his smooth talk were
left TO nurse their sorrow. As no one
of the victims would swear out a war
rant Sloan was allowed to 90 and will
doubtless try the same game in some
other locality.
There is but little doubt that Sloan is
the fellow that worked a similar scheme
at Stevens Point, registering as Jas.
Thompson, Appleton, and it is possible
he is the E. R. Williams who beat
Grand Rapids and Cent~aIia business
men out of a considerable sum. He is
a shark of the first water and it is to be
regretted that none of his victims would
prosecute.
It would seem that after time the
public, especially the business men,

THE ALUM HEART.

Many people are suffering from some
form of heart disease who have no idea
| of the cause of it.
Any disturbance of the digestive or
gans affects the hearts action, and
therefore every food which interferes
with digestion is responsible where
there are troubles of this character.
1t has been discovered that the use of
baking powder made from burnt alum
coagulates the blood very rapidly,
which interferes with its free flow
through the arteries and valves of that
organ. Formerly alum was nsed as a
specific for ckildren's Group, but owing
to its tendency from the causes named
to produce heart failure, physicians no
longer employ it.
In face of such facts and in view Of
the overwhelming testimony of scien-
fists as to the poisonous character of
this drug when used for food purposes,
can there be any excuse for the ignor-
ance or unconcern which permits any
one to take from the grocer a package
of alum baking powder, simply for the
sake of saving few cents in price?
1t is healthful sign that many states
are limiting by law the sale of alum
baking powder. Very soon it will be
prohibited in al states, or treated as
poison, as it should be. But for such
laws, how are the alum powders to be
known by consumers.
Where alum powders are not branded
as such, nor their sale prohibited by
law, it is better to avoid the use of any
new or doubtful brand until it has been
analyzed. The purity of all baking
powders may be suspected If they are
sold at price lower than the price of
the best standard brands. We know
the Royal to be a frst-class cream of
tartar baking powder, and if consumers
insist upon having that brand, they will
be sure of pure, healthful article. In
view of a recently reported case of poi
soning of a whole family living near
Logansport, Ind. from the use of alum
powder, it behooves every one TO use
extraordinary care in purchasing their
supplies. We do not hesitate to recon-
mend the Royal to all who are in doubt
as to the powder they have been using,
as the United States Government tests
placed that brand at the head of all the
tartrate powders.

The Wreck of Yesterday.

The TExARKANIAN gave an ac-
count of wreck on the Iron Noun
tain road yesterday, as near as it
was able to learn the facts, from
the various people whom it inter-
viewed. 1t amounts to a discharge
for an employe of railroad to give
out news of this nature and he
who trespasses and is found out is
no longer retained by the road
transgressed against, and this
makes it hard on the reporter in
getting correct account of the
accidents as they happen, and lie
must hatch up report as best as
he can.
We learn now from trains coming
in from the scene of the wreck
that two freight trains running in
opposite directions, north ano
south, met on the main track, run
ming at their regular high speed
and that fearful wreck and a
demolition of two big engines and
several cars we're the results of the
collision.
The trains we're known as No. 81
south bound, with engine 579,
Engineer McCorkle and FiremaL
Rodgers on deck, with Conductor
Woodward in the caboose, and
train No a. engine 58l, Engineer
Green and Fireman Wilson with
Conductor Jotns,
When the trains came in sigh 1
each other, the engineers and fire
men saw their danger and jumped
for tkeir lives They are pretty
badly bruised but no bones were
broken. Yard Master Hall, at this
place, went down to the scene
which is twelve miles from this city
and lent his helm in cleaning mp the
track. BY 4 o'clock the track was
peued and the della, ed trains came
pouring into the city. Such ac-
cidents will happen even with al.
the'cautiou the company takes to
keep them down.

1t Remains With the Government at

Will Be Yes or No.
THE TINE EXTENDED TO MONDAY

Paris, November 23.-At the re.
quest of the Spanish peace com
misioners there was no joint ses-
sion today pending instructions
from Madrid.
The postponemeut of today is re-
garded as a hopeful sign that the
treaty will be signed While the
Madrid government has not yet
received the text of the American
ultimatum, the Spanish ministers
received quite enough by telegraph
on Monday night to enable them
to instruct their commissioners to
retire.
The belief was confidently ex-
pressed by the American commits
sioners in conversation with the
correspondent of the Associated
Press that before the expiration OF
the time fixed by the Americans,
namely, Monday next, the Span,
iards will acquiesce in the United
States Philippine offer, aud that
the treaty will be signed by all the
Spanish commissioners.
1t is true that the course which
Senor Montero Rios, will follow, is
still uncertain, but leading mem
Der of the American commission
believes he will sign with the other
Spaniards.
Seuor Rios sent a communication
to the American commissioners last
evening asking number of ques-
-tions. He asked, if the Americans
really meant that the ultimatum
must be answered by Monday. The
Spaniards were assured that such
was the intent, and the answer has
cleared the air
A member of the Spanish COM
mission today assured the cores
pondent of the Associated Press
that the next meeting of the com
missloners will take place on Friday
or Saturday and that Spain's ans
wer then will be the last she will
make and that it will be definite

"The feeling in Havana, and, I hear, in

it, the Cubans desiring an independent

Further along the communication says
that if any young girl came in who was
good looking she was infallibly condemn
ed to tie most abon,inable of trafjcs. The
communication says that 1,700 persons
had entered the fosos since August, and
of these but 243 were thon living. It
places the number Of deaths among the
reconcentrados at s7 per cent.
On Dec. General Lee sent to she state

A Plea For wa-ships.
General Lee stated that rumors had been
more or less frequent regarding the riot
ous intention of some of the dissatisfied
elements against American citizens there
and In other parts OF the island. Such
demonstrations, he said, must come from
Spanish Doncombatants OF from volunteer
forces. He did not think there was any
danger from the former, many OF whom
seemed to favor annexation rather than
autonomy or the independence OF the

pox. There are other towns in the same
condit;on-for example, Guines, Catalins
and Nadruga--whose situation could be II
some degree relieved if the country people
were allowed to leave the town freely in
search Of food.
Sin some towns this is entirely prohib
tied: in others they are obliged to pay 6
tax. Not having anything to eat, how car
they pay a tax? In every town the FIRST
thing noticed is the unhealthy condition
of the men and their total lack Of physical
strength. %
At Catalina de Guines tho statement re
ports the condition of the reconccntrado:
as sad and desperate. There arc, it says,
"no zones Of cultivation" and the recon.
centrados are not allowed to leave tho
town in search of work or food even with

'Food is SO scarce that one must walk
four or five miles before finding sweet

to the reconcentrados by General Blancc
is farce

says, has been rented by four Spaniards
