BROWNS HIS TINY VICTIM.
New Light on 15-Year-Old Samuel Hem
dersOn's Deed.


Philadelphia, Jan. 19.-The report Of
an autopsy presented to Coroner Ash
bridge in the remarkable case where
in 15-year-old Samuel Henderson muir
dered 5-year-old Percy Lockyer by
gashing him with knife and throwing
showed that the tiny victim was not
dead when thrown into the water but
that he died Of drowning, consequently
the little corpse must have been
weighted down in the stream afterward
with two big stones that were placed
across the neck and back.
Willie Anderson, the youngster who
accompanied Henderson and the Lock-
yer child to Glacken's woods on Fri
day afternoon last, says that Hender-
son tied him and Percy to trees with
pieces of cord. Willie managed to break
loose and at once started for home. Be-
fore he got out of sight he saw Sam
take Percy's hat and coat, with which
he ran down the hill toward Reddy'S
run, with Percy in pursuit. The last
he saw of them Sam was holding the
smaller boy in his arms and the little
one was screaming.
The only explanation that young Hen
derson has made of the affair to OFF,
Gals who visited him in his cell is:
Percy was up tree cutting a STICK
and he fell to the ground and cut his
head on some stubble. He died. Then
1 was frightened and 1 dragged him to
the creek after he was dead and threw
him in. He came up twice, then he
sunk, and a whole lot of little bubbles
came up."

Mr.. ThOrne TeStifieS.
The Weli-known Feed and Produce
Dealer, at 2Oi w. Main Street, Adds
His Testimony.

HIS TestimOnys
Mr.. James Thorne, as readers of this in
Owosso know, is feed and produce dealer
at POI w. Main st. His endorsement will sat-
isfy many a skeptic. This is what he says;
Il have been troubled periodically with
lame back. Ii would be most severe in
spells that would last in all their severity
for good long time. 1t was the old pain,
located right through the lower part of the
back in the region of the kidneys. have
used so-called-remedies, but l suf-
fered just the same without knowing much
about relief until got at the drug store OF
johnson q Henderson box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which had been told were good
for backache. They beat anything L ever
used, acting quickly and helping me right
along. They regulated and corrected the
action of the kidneys, thereby removing the
pain and soreness from my back. do not
hesitate to fully endorse Doans Kidney Pills.
They have proved in my case to be good
thing"
Nature has provided certain amount of
work for every organ of the human body !;
overtax them and disease eventually follows.
There is not one portion of our organism
that is so overworked as the kidneys; on
them is placed the important function Of
filtering the blood of the impurities which
naturally form in the regular action of life
and digestion. The kidneys are consequently
termed the sewerage of the system; clog up
this sewer, and the blood becomes tainted
with poisonous uric acid, which brings on
disease in many forms. The back is the first
to show this stoppage. From there comes
the warning note; it should be needed and
the kidneys receive prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of
the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains
and aches and cure all troubles of the kid
news and bladder.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers-price so cents. Mailed by Foster
Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y, sole agents for
the United States. Remember the name,
Doan's, and take no other.

Bad Half Hour.
Washington, Jan. 19.-United States
Senator William Mason, of Chicago, was
the victim of an unpleasant affair in
the office Of the Hotel Johnson yester-
day afternoon, when he was assaulted
by the clerk after some words over Sc
curing a room for the wife of one of
Mason's Chicago friends who was pass
ing through the city. AlonZo Wighal, of
Chicago a well-known lawyer and for
merly editor of the Chicago Journal, is
an old friend of Mason. Monday Wig
hal telegraphed that his wife would
pass through Washington, and asked
that Mason should take her sight-see-
ing. Mason and his son spent the early
afternoon in escorting Mrs. Wighal
through the public buildings, and after
ward dined at the Johnson.
Mrs. Wighal being tired, and some
hours remaining before she could Sc
cure train, Mason engaged room for
her at the johnson for the afternoon,
paid for it and registered her as Mrs.
Lou Wighal Chicago" Returning to
the cafe where the lady was waiting
with his son Mason was followed by the
clerk, who asserted that he had changed
his mind about furnishing the room,
and rendered Mason his money. The
senator repaired with the clerk to the
lobby, where hot words ensued and the
clerk struck him. Before many blows
passed the combatants were separated
by friends. Mrs. Wighal was afterward
escorted to the Arlington, where she
secured a room for the night, being too
much wrought up over the incident to
continue her Journey as intended.

Life imprisonment for yiIlers.

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 19.-The Jury
in the Villers murder trial returned a
verdict finding him guilty of murder
and fixing the penalty at life impris-

for an attempt to murder Mrs. Tromer,
wife of the farmer whose mangled re-
mains were afterwards discovered,
with additional evidence duplicating
Villers and leading to this trial. The
murder and trial were sensational, Mrs.
Tromer fainting while on the witness
stand and her admission that she with
held part of the truth on the first trial
through fear of Villers being notable

REIGN OF MODS IN PARIS
Anarchists and Students Indulge in a
General Free Fight.
TURBULENT SCENES AT A MEETING.
"Down with the Jews" "a Cry Frequently
Heard Police and Military Out in
Force - Riots at Other
French Cities.


Paris. Jan. 1S.-A great anti-Dreyfus
and anti-Semite meeting last night at
the Tivoli Vaux hall produced extra
ordinary scenes. The neighborhood
was paraded by police mounted and on
foot, and the rapidly growing crowd
increased the excitement. On the open
ing Of the meeting the hall was a
seething sea of humanity, crowding ev-
cry part, gesticulating, shouting "A bas
Zola," "Vive lie Armee and "Vive la
revolution sociale." The members OF
the anti-Semite committee displayed
was soon seen that the 5000 present
consisted largely of anarchists and Of
others bent on opposing the students.
On NJ. Guerin, the president, proposing
that the honorary presidency be con-
ferred upon M. Rochefort and M. Dru-
mont, great uproar ensued, the an
archists trying to wrench the banners
from the anti-Semite. Scuflles took
place in which two Of the officials were
injured.
Anarchists Chased Out of the Hall.
NJ. Thiebaud delivered an address de-
nouncing the Jews, and urging the
meeting to support the government.
Tumult and fights for the banners con-
tinued, with shouting, whistling and
singing of the "Marseillaise" and the
"Carmagnole," while M. Thiebaud pro-
ceeded in violent speech, declaring
that the Dreyfus scandal was the COM
mencement of a social revolution by a
"band of scoundrels desiring to over
throw everything in order to raise a
traitor" The scene now became a
saturnalia. The anarchists removed the
iron staircase giving access to the
tribune, so that the committee was I'M
able to descend. Free fights began
around the flags. Finally the students
chased the anarchists out Of the hall.
The organizers of the meeting then
seized the flags decorating the hall, and
arranged a rendezvous at the Military
club, crying "Vive Parmee."
Would Expectorate on lola.
The hall partially emptied, but soon
the anarchists returned, and breaking
upon the great doors began further
fighting. 1t is alleged that several were
injured. Finally the students were van
pushed ad the anarchists masters OF
the situation. The meeting broke up
and the anarchists replaced the ladder
and invaded the tribune, led by M.
Curtois fiourishing a red flag, and all
shouting "Conspuez Rochefort" (Spit
upon Rochefort), and Long live lola"
The disturbances continued, the an
archists declaiming from the tribune
against the army and acclaiming Drey-
fus. Some of the injured people were
carried out with their faces covered
with blood.

NEW CLASSIFICATION.
The President to Exempt a Number Of
 Positions

Washington, April 1S.-The presi- dent will in few days issue an import ant order to the classification of offices under the civil service law. He has called upon the heads of each of the executive departments for a statement of such offices in their respective de partments, which may properly, in their judgment, be removed from the classified service, governed by the rules of the civil service commission as to examination, etc. All the re- ports are now in, and it is understod that the president is about prepared to announce his action.
 Although it lacks official authority, there is good ground for the statement
Arizona republican., 1898-04-19

that the president, on the advice of a large majority of his cabinet has nrac- tically decided to restore the offices of chiefs and assistant chiefs of divisions and messengers and assistant nessen- gsrs in the executive depa. tments and many outside offices to the status thev held before President Cleveland in- cluded them in the classified service If this is done all the offices named will be put in the class exempted from examination and leave the appoint ments to them in the hands of the heads of the respective departments. as was the case up to the time of the is sue of President Cleveland's so-calle6 blanket civil service order.
