"Is this where Mrs. sadsby lives7'
asked the bearded stranger.
Eyes, sir" replied the woman
standing in the door Of the cottage,
"Wife of Andrew Sadsby, who
went to sea several years ago and
was supposed to have been lost?''
''Yes, sir"
Madam, I bring you news Of
your husband"
Isis he alive? Oh, is he still
alive?"
perhaps it would be hasty to
say that. But
"What do you know Of him.
Tell me quick?"
"That's what I am trying to do,
ma'am. Six weeks ago your hus-
band, Andrew Sadsby, was found
on an island in the south Pacific.
He had been shipwrecked and cast
ashore. For years he had lived
there, subsisting on shellfsh and
bananas, with an occasional cocoa
nut, and"-
"Isn't he coming back?"
81 cannot venture to give you
any information yet as to that. You
must prepare yourself ma'am, for"
He is sick! He is dyingl'
"At the time he was found, to tell
the truth, be was sinking rapidly"
"And then be- Don't keep me
in suspense"
II won't ma'am. He was sinking
rapidly, as said, but he sank be-
cause he was diving for pearls. He
came up again. Diving for pearls
is highly profitable occupation.
Your husband, Andrew Sadsby-
his first name, / think you said,
was Andrew
"Yes! Yes !"
"Your husband, Andrew Sadsby,
had spent considerable portion of
his leisure in diving for pearls. You
will understand that he had inevi-
tally a large amount of unoccupied
time on his hands. He became an
expert at pearl diving. At the time
he was found he had accumulated
large, might say, very large,
collection of valuable pearls, and
his facilities for disposing of them
being naturally limited he has them
all yet. The rest is soon told. He
paid his passage to his native land
with pearls, he turned them into
money in New York city, he took
train for his old home, and
Susan Jane, don't you know me?"
"Andrew |" she shrieked.

A Language for tho Learned.

The following illustration of q
child's spelling lessen, and her apt
conclusion in regard to the orthog-
raphy of the English language, is
taken from the New York Times:
spell toes" said the mother, who
was teaching her little daughter, z
years old, to spell.
"T-o-z-e," answered the child.
mo, my dear; that's not right.
Toes spells toes"
"But it sounds like t-o-z-e."
Il know; but you cannot 60 by
the sound"
Then, in order to enforce the
proposition, the mother called upon
her daughter to spell froze.
"F-r-o-e-s," exclaimed the child.
"No, you are wrong again. This
time We do use the ;, and spell the
word f-r-o-z-e."
Hugh p exclaimed the child.
"Now spell rose," said the mother.
1.-THE child hesitated. Finally,
she said: II don't know whether to
say r-o-z-e or r-o-e-s."
spell it r-o-s-e," said the mother,
though there is another word pro-
nounced just like it that's spelled
r-o-e-s. That word is the name of
the spawn of fishes"
The child looked perplexed.
"Just one word MORE" said the
mother. "Tell me how you spell
blows"
well" said the little girl, who
had had quite enough of nonsense,
as she viewed it, from her mother,
and had suddenly made up her
mind to pay back in kind, II spell
it three ways. I spell it b-l-o-s-e
for breakfast, b-l-o-e-s for dinner
and b-l-o-z-e for supper"
II spell it b-l-o-w-s," said the
mother.
The child was silent for q minute
as if wrapped in thought; then,
looking up, she solemnly remarked !:
Il think, mamma, the English
language was made for people very,
very we'll educated"

IS WANTED N TEXAS
Rev, George E. Morrison Ar
rested in California.
ONCE HELD IN TOPEKA
He is Charged With Murder
and Minor Crimes.

San Francisco, March 29.-Constable
Barnstern of Kings county arrested Rev.
George E. Morrison, until lately a resi-
dent of Hanford, where he occupied one
Of the pulpits of that town, in this city
today. The prisoner was taken 10 the
city prison. Morrison is said to be want
ed by the authorities Of Carson county,
Texas, to answer charges of embezzle-
ment, forgery and murder. While resid-
ing in Carson county his wife died sud
denly under circumstances which gave
rise to the suspicion that she had been
murdered. Morrison left Texas hurriedly
and went to Topeka, Kan. He says he
was arrested in Topeka and held for a
time but that the Texas authorities did
not send for him and he was released.
He then went to eMxico, where he work
ed in the mines. He has just returned
from there and is still dressed like a
miner.

FIGHTING BOB" EVANS
Says Spain Blew Up the Maine and
Should BE Licked For 1t.

Chicago, March pa special to the
Tribune from Tampa, Fla, says:
Fighting Bob Evans has left Port Tampa
battleship Iowa. While here he talked
freely in regard to the outlook for war
and what should be done. He is firm in
his belief that the Maine was blown up
by the Spaniards, and said:
THE vessel was in a Spanish harbor
and was blown up by mine placed there
by Spanish officials. The mine was sprung
by some one familiar with its location and
the wires leading to il. do not say that
the Spanish government knew of the plot
to blow up the Maine but the fact that it
was done IN Havana harbor is sufficient
to hold the Spaniards responsible.
Immediate action is necessary and
believe that there will be war very shortly.
If was betting man 1 would take all
the bets offered by those who do not be-
lieve that there will be war. 1 would
also bet a hundred TO one that an attempt
to assassinate General Lee is made if war
is declared.
'"The defenses need looking after. Key
West is a most defenseless point, if a
Spanish fleet could be at safe distance
and shell the town. AS for Tampa and
Port Tampa there is nothing to prevent
any small vessel from coming up the bay
and blowing them to pieces. The railroad
terminals would, of course, be attacked by
the Spanish at the first opportunity. Steps
should be taken to protect them, so that
troops and supplies could be brought here
for shipment to Cuba
when asked for my opinion in Wash
ington 1 said that $4,000 troops should be
sent to Tampa Immediately and ships
provided TO carry them 10 Cuba.
''The torpedo f1otilla should be stopped
at all hazards. A knockout blow should
be struck by the United States before
Spain gets a chance. We have an enor-
nous coast line to protect and we should
not wait until Spain is prepared to at
tack 1t. When you want to whip man
get in the first blow Hit him on the
point Of the chin. That Is what we ought
to do now. I do not believe in delay.
I said the morning after the Maine disas-
ter that the chances were a million to
one against its being an accident and I
am of the same opinion, although have

IN THE FOREIGN SHIPYARDS
Uncle Sans Buyers strike Bargain
Now and Then

Rome, March 2S.-The Tribupna an
nounces that "a superior officer of the
United States navy is coming to Rome
to negotiate for the purchase of warships
and that after visiting the Italian dock
yards he will visit those of France and
Germany.
Berlin, March 2S.-Lieutenant Com
mander Niblack, the United States naval
attache has returned here from Kiel It
is understood that he has conditionally
purchased for the United States govern
ment a protected cruiser building at the
Germania yards for a South American
government, and that he is considering
the purchase of a vessel building at the
Voss yards at Hamburg.
London, March 2S.-Japan has been one
of the largest buyers of war munitions,
and Chill recently entered the field. All
the guns secured by the United States
abroad were bought from spectators.
The aforementioned attaches of the
United States say that the European
firms were disposed to deal fairly and not
raise prices, -"but," they add, 1.-The gov
ernment has been bled by the rapacity
of its own money making citizens"
Forty rapid-fire and 6-inch guns com
pleted by the Armstrong; and destined
for the United States will be shipped i'm
mediately.
Lieutenant Colonel Alfred z. Bates,
United States military attache, started to
day on a tour of Germany, Austria and
Belgium in an endeavor to purchase guns.
The United States military attache at
Berlin, Lieutenant H. T. Allen, after
securing the country, reports that no
guns are procurable in Germany. The
Krupps' stock was all ordered before
the guns were begun, and that concern
is unable to sell any to the United States.
It is expected. however, that the United
States will be able to secure a lot of guns
in Belgium from the Belgium govern
ment, which does not need them. But it
IS doubtful whether these guns will be
delivered at an early date.

One More Plan to Force
Special Session.
LEEDYS LAST RESORT
Member of Legislature From
Sixth Talks.

A member Of the legislature, who lives
in the Sixth district and who is a Populist,
was in Wichita yesterday. He has so far
maintained friendly relations with Gov.
Leedy. However, he has reached the place
where he is about ready 10 part company
with the Leroy statesman. He says the
governor is now contemplating one more
expedient to force a special session and
the passage of a maximum freight rate
bill.
He asked that his name be not given in
this article because of the hammering it
would probably bring upon him from the
Leedy bosses.
'Leedy proposes not to print the names
of the fellows who have so far refused to
pledge their votes in favor of maximum
freight rate bill. It is bossism personf-
fed" he said. 1T viii beat Leedy and
it ought to. He is doing all this buster
ing around and drawing up bills for no
other purpose than to manufacture cam
paign material.
ITO make it appear that there is no
desire to bring these members who refuse
10 support his measures into undue prom
ineTtce, the names of those who have
pledged their support to the bin are also
to be printed. The governors advisers
say that as soon as the Populist members
refusing to vote for the bill become
known, the people in favor Of railroad
legislation in their districts. will use their
influence TO secure pledge. In this way
1t is believed that the sufficient number

1T is known that Gov Leedy is con-

question has now dragged along for
weeks, and as yet majority Of the mem
bers OF the house have not pledged their
support to the bill The governor realizes
that If a special session is called, II must
be called soon. and IS about ready to try
any means that will hurry the matter
along,
TN reply to some Of the members who
have opposed certain provisions Of the
bill. Gov. Leedy has stated that he is will
ing to have any reasonable amendment
made to the bill after it is passed, but
that he will not call the legislature to-
gether until he is sure that the bill will
be passed in its present form. He says

tutional in every particular, and he Is
afraid that in the event it is changed.

be incorporated, which, after its passage,
would be found to have rendered it uncon-

Considerable correspondence has
passed between Gov. Leedy and the mem
bers Of the house, who oppose the bill

of 40 bills and letters were sent out some
weeks ago. So far sufficient number OF

Uncle Sam Doesn't Need One and
spain Can't Get Ono.

London, March 2S.-The dispatch OF the
British fleet from Halifax to Bermuda,
following the agitation for an Anglo
American alliance, is considerably COM
mented upon by diplomats. The author
tiles explain that it is merely considered
desirable that British ships should be in
the vicinity Of Cuba in order to safeguard
British commerce and British subjects in
case of war. The idea Of Anglo-Ameriean
cooperation in Cuba is secuted. A diplo-
mat who is conversant with the inside ne
gotiations on the Cuban question, said:
''If Spain and the United States 60 TO
war they viii fight without an ally on
either side. The United States does not
need an ally and Spain cannot get an

Results Of the Test in Various Forms
of Dyspensia.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, while
n very common trouble, has for some
time been looked upon by able physicians
as a serious thing. and that no time
should be lost in treating it properly at
the start, because recent researches have
shown that the most serious, fatal and
Incurable diseases have their origin in
simple dyspepsia or indigest ton.
Diabetes is simply one form of indiges-
hon, the sugar and starchy food not be-
Ing assimilated by the digestive organs
In Brights disease the albumen is not
properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia ara
twin diseases, and it is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a rem
ndy that could be depended upon to cure
dyspepsia, as it is notoriously obstinate
md difficult to cure
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike
until the question was solved three Years
