DEFIANT MOONSHINERS
A Recent Raid May Result In n seri
ous Uprising.

Gus OpflSluUs
Little Rock, Feb. S.-An uprising Of
moonshiners is threatened i'm the u
tain district Of Cleburne county, and
the United States authorities have been
appealed to for assistance to protect
the law abiding citizens of the locality.
The trouble is caused by a lawless ele-
ment, whose chief occupation is the un-
lawful manufacture of whisky, and was
brought about by a raid last week by
Deputy United States marshals, when
seven men were captured and Eve IL
licit distilleries destroyed.
Forty miles northeast of Searcy, in
the mountains of Cleburne county, Is
a postof1ce known as Gin, located in a
territory infested by illicit distillers,
who have hitherto enjoyed immunity
from the interference of revenue Of
ncers. Last Saturday Deputy j. T.
Burros, who had previously disguised
himself as a mountaineer and went into
the vicinity to familiarize himself with
the situation. with a posse OF seven OF
eight men. concealed themselves neal
the stills, and when the m~conshiners
appeared the cnicers pounced upon and
captured them.
1t is now said the friends of the mer
arrested vii cause trouble. Very few
people live in the vicinity except those
engaged in moonstininE, and If the
trouble is as serious as seems to be in
dicated by kilograms from Prosecuting
Attorney Hicks, il win take n large

China Dare Not Borrow From Either
Great Britain or Russia.

Great Britain or Russia.
London, Feb. S.-The Pekin CORE
spondent of The Times, t~elegraphing
yesterday, said: Il have reasons to be-
lieve that china viii be induced to de-
cline the British proposals in conse-
quence of Russia's opposition, and,
Smiley, that she will be unable to
accept the Russian proposals owing to
England's opposition. The country is
helpless and unable to pay the in
demnity, except by instruments, but
China nurses the hope that Japan will
agree to an extension of time.
Meanwhile an imperial decree au-
thorizes an issue of treasury bonds at
S DER cent to the amount of 100, 900
taels (about $4,000 ,0O0), 1t appeals to
the officials, the gentry and the mer-
hants to assist the issue, in the remote
possibility of raising enough to meet
the instalment due next May.
THE method proposed increases the
growing distrust i'm the government.
Similar bonds, issued at the time of the
war of 1853, were repudiated in 1862.
THE Unsatisfactory and evasive ma
ture of the Imperial edict exacted by
Germany in condemnation Of the Shan
Tung murders affords Germany the de-
sired pretext for remaining in military
occupation of considerable territory,
including the town of Kiao-Chau, be-
yond the area leased. China still main
tains that the murder Of the German
sailor was justihable homicide, and due

THE BURNING OF INDIANS.
Omcial Report Gives Further Details
of the Revolving Lynching.

Official Report Gives Further Details
of the Revolving Lynching.
Washington, Feb. S.-The attorney
general sent to the senate yesterday a
letter written by Assistant United
States Attorney McMechan, giving the
results of his Investigation into the re-
cent burning of two Seminole Indians
in Oklahoma by a mob. He says that
the sentiment in the neighborhood of
the crime is all with the mob, and he
was informed that it would not be well
for HIM or any other persont to go in that
locality if it was known that the OBJ
tect was to locate the conspirators.
Mr.. McMechan's letter tells in the main
an old story, but he gives some new
details.
McGisy was, he says, the first of the
Indians to move a muscle after the
torch was applied, and he did not move
until the flesh was beginning to drop
from his limbs and was beginning to
touch his ears. He then gave a loud
whoop, bent over as far az the chain
would allow him, and sucking in the
leaping flames sank down and expired
without showing any more signs Of
pain. Not so with Palmer Sampson.
He did not move until after McGisy
had inhaled the lanes Then he COM
menced to kick with both feet, throw
ing burning pieces of wood 25 or so
feet away. 1t was with difficulty that
they succeeded in getting him burned.
Mr.. McMechan says that a Baptist
minister, Hiram Holt, prayed for the
two Indians before their execution, and
hat as he Enelt in prayer he held a
rifle in his hand.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS
FOR THE CURE OF PILES AND REC.
TAI DISEASES NO LONGER
NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery which Will Change
the Treatment Of All Such Diseases.

A Medical Discovery which Will Change
the Treatment of All Such Diseases.
1t has long been thought not only by some
physicians but by people in general, that the
common, painful and exceedingly annoying
trouble, piles, was practically incurable by
and this belief has been the cause of years
Of needless suffering, because Of the natural
dread Of surgical operations.
There are many salves, ointments and
similar remedies on the market which af-
ford some relief in cases Of piles, but the
Pyramid Pile Cure is the only preparation so
far introduced that can be reliably depended
upon TO cure to stay cured, every form of
itching, bleeding or protruding piles.
Mrs. M. c.. Hinkley, of 6O1 Mississippi st g.
indianapolis, was told by her physicians that
nothing but a surgical operation costing be-
tween seven and eight hundred dollars, could
cure her rs she bad suffered for 10 years; yet
even in such a case as hers the Pyramid Pile
cure accomplished a complete cure. She
says 81 know an operation would be death
to me and tried the Pyramid with very little
hope and it is not to be wondered at that l
am so enthusiastic in its praise"
Mr.. d. Z. Reed, of South Lyons, Mich,
says II would not take $500 and be placed
back where | was before | used the Pyramid
Pile Cure, | suffered for years and it is now

slightest trace of the trouble has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by nearly
all druggists at so cents and 81 per package

queen speaks favorably of the pacific
relations between the powers, and then
points out the satisfaction experienced

Complimentary illusions are made to
the valor and loyalty of the British In
dian troops. There is a lengthy ref
ence to the West Indies ana the gov
ernment's intentions as outlined by the
secretary of state for the colonies, Mr..

presses the hope that the international
sugar conference will have satisfactory
results The first place in the esti-
mates is devoted to the army needs,
and the chief bills promised are local
government for Ireland and the Lon
don municipalities bill, providing for

WANTS HER PROPERTY BACK.


suit Against Her Father.
o. Honolulu, via Seattle. Feb. S.-Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Watson arrived here
on the 22d inst. IN their way around the
world. Mrs. Watson is the only daugh-
ter of Claus Sprcckels, the sugar king.
Her marriage with Watson caused a
family estrauGoment, which has not
been healed to this day. Spreckcls
claimed that his daughter was migrate
full, and i'm addition charged Watson
with being a fortune hunter. The
daughter denied both charges, and as Il
proof of good intentions decided back to
her father property worth 81, 500, 600.
Mrs. Watson now claims that her
father has been more than unkind. to
her since her marriage, ana she has de
cided to invite the aid of the Hawaiian
courts for the recovery of the ST. 0 600
worth of property which she decided
back to him at the time of her mar
riage. IT has long been known in
Honolulu that Mrs. Watson's deed to
Claus Spreckles was not signed by her
husband, and the impression has pre-
vailed that it was invalid ON that ac-
count. Her contention win hold good
in fms country, it is claimed. Most of
the property involved is situated in
Honolulu, and consists of business
blocks. The income is said to be $1,000
a month.
