1t can easily be imagined with
what Jealous interest Great Britain
would now regard a positive decla-
ration by our government to build
the Nicaragua canal at once. For
her attitude toward Russia, because
of complications in China, is not one
of the most hattering nature as re.
CARDS peace. The lion and the bear
are growing at each other in a
most menacing way. Great Britain
has stood Loyalty by us in the way
of moral support during our brush
with Spain. and no doubt she would
very much like to feel in that closer
touch with us that would come
through our building of the Nicar
aqua canal, and consequent quick
communication with affairs in the
Orient 1t will all come in time.
however Brother Jonathan, and
then we will be with you to the FIN

WHEELER AT WASHINGTON.
Fiery Old Warrior Interviewed by
the President.

Washington, August l7.-Gen.
Joseph Wheeler had a three-quar-
tiers Of an hour conference with the
president today. The president
wanted to talk over the conditions
in Cuba with Gen. Wheeler and this
was the object of a telegraphic
summons that brought the general
here. The president put numerous
questions to the hero of the Santi-
ago campaign aud received not only
an account of his general experience
in that campaign but also his views
on various issues incident to the ad-
iustmeut of affairs on the island.
One point that was uppermost was
the possibility Of a rupture with
Cuban insurgents, Gen. Wheelers
statements are very reassunug.
GAN the friction, " he said, "be-
tween the Americans and Cubans
Dill soon pass away and there will
be harmony and the best of feeling
between them.
He said there was a class of men
in Cuba who had never been friendly
to the Cubans who likely would do
all they could to keep up this mis-
understanding, though he did not
apprehend any dangerous results
General Wheeler suggested the
charges against the insurgents
of taking articles from the field had
extenuating circumstances, especial
ly in view of the starving condition
of many of them. He believes the
Cubaus will in time, when given a
staple and humane government, be-
come law-abiding and useful people.
The president is very sOlicious
about the health of Montauk Point
camp and gave explicit instructions
verbally to General Wheeler las to
the conduct of the camp. He
wanted everything possible and
reasonable done for the interests Of
the men at the camp.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutlonal remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inAamed condition Of
the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have a rumbing sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inAamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.

Ed rIcCooI In r. oubIe.

According to the FIT. Scott Monitor,
Ed McCool who contracted some
debts here and at Moran and who
proposed to do such great things for
Ft. Scott, is in a pretty bad scrape.
Under flaring headlines 10 printed
the following:
Ed MjCool, who came here few weeks ago
and represented himself to be an expert gas
man. and who later exploded the Mlburn well
before all audience OF 1,6OO people, seems to
have been the source of much trouble At that
time he was looked upon as the King Bee"
the man who would make Fort Scott the gas
city Of the west and the manufacturing center
of Kansas. and the Tower Hill company en-
ployed him to sinka well 1900 feet or until gas
was struck. In the meantime he contracted
debts, and few nights ago over 100 that was
due him from his employers was garnished by
two drllers whom he hau employed to do the
work He also owes numerous other bills and
1t Is said that he owes a woman with whom be
boarded at Moran plumber from;whom he
obtained gas pipe on credit is also feeling
a little shaky.
But this is not what is giving him so much
newspaper notority. Upon complaint of Mrs.
Susan Mcclure, highly respec ed lady living
on East Wall street. yesterday had the gas con
tractor srrested on a state warrant charged with
a misdemeanor. He was arraigned in Mar.
greaes court, pleaded not guilty and gave 500
bond for his appearance The story told by
Mrs. Mcclure, If true, proves him to be a
scoundrel. McCool has been paying attention
to Miss Libbie Stalker, Mrs. McGuire's daugh.
ter, and young lady who has borne good
reputation. Thursday afternoon the couple
left the home. leaving the mother with the
understanding that they were going to the foot
ball game, but instead secured a team fiom Ida
Travis and went to Fulton, where they remain.
ed until the next day. Mrs. Mc3uire claims
she afterwards learned that 1t was their in.
tention to get married and Miss Stalker thought
that McCool had the license in his pocket when
they left Arriving home the next day, McCool
told Mrs. Mcclure that they were married, and
Miss Stalker believing he would fulfill his
promise and marry her, never denied IL until
he kept putting her of from day to day. When
MIS- Mcclure was apprised of the true state
OF affairs she wept bitterly and Immediately
had him arrested. She claims that he kept her
daughter in a room by force and she will
make an earnest endeavor to send hin to the
penitentiary. Miss stalker is respectable wo-
man and for four years has worked at the Fort
Scott Steam laundry.

children.
