self I cannot tell you ALI OF the evi.
dence found there. In the furnace in
the cellar l found the heel of a woman's 8
shoe. the skeleton OF a womans pocket
book and other things. The stones
which weighted the packages were our
starting point. One of the FIRST steps
we took was to ascertain III a livery
team had been used on Sunday night.
We found the carriage which was used.
We found in that carriage some frag-
ments of stone just like the stone used
as weights. On the carpet In the rear
of the seat in the carriage we found
spots which looked like blood. That
buggy had been sent by the livery sta
BILE keeper to Nancy Guilford's house
on both of the nights in question.
OxLEY is WANTED.
"The case is sufficiently advanced to
warrant my making this statement
public. Harry Oxley Is the man we

what he knew"

Liverpool, Sept. 2i.-The United
States peace commissioners landed here
early this morning from the cunard
line steamer Campanla, which reached
her landing here before daylight. They
are all in good health and refreshed by
the voyage for the work in store for
them.
The physical betterment was most
marked in the case OF Judge Day. who
said yesterday evening to Senator Da-
Wis: II am getting well accustomed
to this sea travel / like It and could
well enjoy another week OF il before
going ashore
This points to the fact that the chair
man of the peace commission is much
changed man for the better. by the
rest OF week at sea, salt water baths
and the bracing air on the deck of the
steamer. His face is ruddy and his
eyes are frightened by added vigor.
The commissioners were received by
the United States consul. MI. James
Boyle. The mayor of Liverpool ex-
tended to the commissioners an invita-
ton TO attend a function TO be held
this evening in honor OF the British
warships now here. This invitation,
however, was declined, the commission
ers deeming 1t unwise to accept IT.

Consul Wi!dman's Denial.
Inquiry revealed that more than q
month ago the state department sent
a message to Mr.. wildman asking him
as to the truth of the persistent reports
that an arrangement for an American
Filipino alliance had been made be-
tween Mr.. Wildman and Aguinasdo.
The consul-general made prompt re-
Spouse. He said in his telegram that
he had conferred with Aguinaldo only
SO far as II was necessary To prevent
any misunderstanding I'm regard 10 the
American attack on Manila. Mr.. Wild
mans telegram was exceedingly BRIEF.
Whether ne followed II with a mailed
report on the subject could not be as
certnined.

THR Congressional committees of
both the great parties have been or
ganized and the battle OF 1898 will
shortly be begun. The lines between
sound money and that from a depre-
ciated metal will be as distinctly
drawn as in 1896. The fact that
every assertion of the advocates Of
free silver made in the campaigns
two years ago has been disproven by
the events Of the past eighteen
months, and that the prosperity
promised by the Republicans through
the adoption Of protection and sound
money is already making its appear
ance, should strengthen greatly the
prospects Of that party in the com
ing campaign. There are, however,
no less than 10 close Congressional
districts in the United States, and
upon these the Democrats, Populists
and Silverites will turn their united
forces in Nh attempt to elect any
silver man, no matter TO which one
OF the three organizations he may
belong, so long as he can be relied
upon to vote in the interests OF the
silver+mine owners. And one of these
is the Sehuylkill district.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting account
of what he considers a remarkable cure of
acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia
by the use Of the new discovery, Stuart's
Tablets.
lie says: The patient was a man who had
suffered to my knowledge for years with dys-
pepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour
and create acid and gases in the stomach he
had pains like rheumatism in the back,
shoulder blades and limbs, fullness and dis
tress after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh the heart became affected, causing
palpitation and sleeplessness at night.
| gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood
remedies, bvt ono purpose. As an expert
ment | finally bought a fifty cent package of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store
and gave them to him. Almost immediate
relief was given and after he had used four
boxes he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour watery
risings, no b~loating after meals, the appetite
was vigorous and he has gained between 10
and IL pounds in weight of solid, healthy
flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores yet l con
slider them a most valuable addition to any
physicians line of remedies, as they are per
fcctly harmless and can be given to children
or invalids or in any condition Of the stomach
with perfect safety, being harmless and con-
tanning nothing but vegetable and fruit es-
sences, pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
