The Rich Hill Review takes Pat
O'Neil, Justice Of the Peace of that
town, to task for some of his extrav
sgant decisions. It says he recently
sent a man to the county jail to lay
out a fine and cost bill of $25, for
stealing Is cent neck yoke On
last Friday Wilton Madison, youth
II years OF age, was brought before
"his honor" for stealing some rings
off harness, worth 25 cents. The
boy claimed he was trying to collect
a rs cent debt. Justice O'Neal,
after futile attempt to compromise
with the father of the lad for the
costs, sentenced him to 200 days in
the county jail and he was brought
to Butler by constable Harve John
son Saturday. This may be a very
good method of terrorizing that
class of gentry into paying costs,
but how does the county fare in
such TRANSACTIONS The taxpayers
Of Bates county can hardly afford to
indulge this justice of the peace in
his little eccentricities.

Touched Only a Few Points on
Which Information Was
Desired.
He Will Be Asked to Make An.
other Report Supplying the
Commissions.
Investigators Will Make a Tour
of the Various Camp
Sites.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Alger has sent an answer
to the war investigating committee
which, in the words of one of the com.
missioners, "does not answer"
Sin the first place, said this COM
missioner" we asked who had been
influential in selecting the camp sites.
The only answer vouchsated is that
General Lee selected the camp at Jack
sonville. I don't think any other camp
is mentioned, but this omission will no
doubt be remedied in the supplemental
report for which we will call on Secre-
tary Alger."
Secretary Alger's report includes
about 5000 words, and in addition to
the Jacksonville camp matter, covers
only these points: The selection of
Tampa as point of EN- barkation; Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS dispatch the cause
of Fastening troops to Cuba; Commo-
dore Rsmy's dispatch the cause Of sub
seauent delay of troops. Discussion of
these topics exhausts the report No
attempt seems to have been made to
explain the cause of the hardships suf-
fered by the soldiers in Tampa. Score.
tary A ger will be
Asked For a Fuller Answer.
The programme of the commission
for this week is to have no W illnesses,
except those who may be caught pass
ing through Washington. The time
will be spent in reading the volumin-
ons report of the ad1utant general,
then the report of Surgeon Gen eral
Sternberg, and then the reports of
other heads of departments.
Mem bers of the commission expect
to leave for a tour of the camps a week
from Monday. Tney may go first to
Camp Meade, before it breaks up.
They will go to Jacksonville, where
Colonel Bryan will be one of the i'm.
portant witnesses. The tour of the
camps will, it is thought. consume
about two weeks. The commission
will return to Washington, and later
go to New York city.
In New York, two prominent wit.
nesses will be called-Colonel Theo.
dore r ,osevelt, and r. B. Roosevelt
The latter made grave charges against
tho administration of Commissary
General Egan and he will be asked to
substantiate them.
After the examination in New York,
the commission will return to Wash
ington, before going to Santiago,
which it is thought will be among the
last things done by the commission.

SICKNESS DECREASING.

Cooler Weather Having Excellent Effect
at Santiago.
SANTIAGO, Oct. 10.-The general
health of the American troops is now
better than ever before. The recent
heavy rains have done much for the
health of the camp. There has been a
slight increase of ordinary fever, but
all cases of yellow fever in the deten-
tion camps are convalescents and prac-
tically ready to be discharged. The
cooler weather is having an excellent
effect on the sick.

Priceless Pain

"If a price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend Is worth its weight in gold as an a11evi.
ator. MY wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al.
four bottles of Mothers Friend It is blessing
to any one expecting to become mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, H., to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie.
tors and manufacturers of Mother
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but q
scientifically prepared 1iniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of Childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier il
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly diniu.
ishes the danger to life Of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

THE FINALE REACHED.
General Averil At Last is Awarded the
Prize He Long BattIed For.

Generai AyeriiI At Last Is Awarded the
Prize He Long BattIed For.
New York, Jan. 3-The Herald to-
morrow will say: The appellate divi-
sion Of the supreme court has handed
down a decision in the suit of Gen. w.
w Averill against AMI l.. Barber and
others awarding the old cavalry officer
nearly 100000 as his share in the prof
its of the Barber Asphalt Paving COM
pany on contracts for paving in this
city. Washington, Buffalo and other
large cities. When the final accounting
of the profits OF the Barber Asphalt
company is made, it is expected that
the generals share will run into the
millions. He has been engaged in liti-
cation continuously since 1883. when the
first action was brought before the SUI
preme court.
After retiring from the army General
Ayerill became interested in asphalt
paving. He experimental in this city
and Washington and patented various
processes. He became interested in the
American Asphalt Paving company
with AMI l.. Barber and others in 1881,
and had in his employ a Belgian named
Smedt, who had patented several pro-
cesseS. Smedt sold these patents to
Barber who was n trustee of the Amer
lean Asphalt Paving company and inn
mediately thereafter the company was
disbanded and the Barber Asphalt COM
pany succeeded it.
General Averill found himself outside
the new company and 1888 began an
action to recover profits made by the
Barber company, which had contracts
in every city in the United States. The
case came up before Judge Edward Pat
terson. who appointed George B. Morse
referee. The referees findings We're in
favor of Averil1, confirmed by Judge
Lawrence in 1896, but an appeal was
taken To the appellate division. The
referee had allowed him an interest in
all contracts on which work had actu-
ally begun at that time. but upon the
question of the pending contracts his
decision was adverse to the general.
The decision was concurred in by the
four judges of the appellate division.

iams-and is final.
