War MONSTER
Fifteen Feet Beneath the Sur
face of the Water.
The Holland Shows Good Speed
ON Her Trial.
IN DEEP WATER NEXT.
She viii Make a Long Trip and
Fire Her Guns.
Seems Destined to Become a
Formidable War Engine.

New York, March 22.-The Holland sub
marine boat made another trip from Perth
Amboy. n. J., today. At a depth of Is
feet she showed good speed and was
handled with ease. After she came to
the surface the boat grounded in the soft
mud and was hauled off by a tug. The
boat will be fitted with electric lights be-
fore another trip is made.
The trial of the Holland in deeper water
probably will occur during the latter por-
ton of the week. Both the guns are in
need of repairs, as the breeches now ad-
NIT air, and there are other details
aboard that need attention. When this
has been done the Holland will start for
long trip in deep water in the lower
bay and will probably remain submerged
Tor two miles. Her guns will then be
fired for the first time
&. B. Frost, treasurer of the company
says it is unlikely that any attempt will
be made to fire at a target at the outset.
If the Holland can get close enough to
the enemy's vessel in time of war to do
effective work, great accuracy of mark
manship will not be required 1t is prob
able that the Holland will be taken to
Washington next week. She will be at
tached to pontoons and towed through
the canal She will be tested in fresh

JERRY SIMPSON SAYS
The Money Interests Will Prevent a
War With Spain.

Washington, D. c., March 22.-Repre-
sentative Jerry Simpson of Kansas, the
PopuIist leader on the floor of the
house, dictated the following statement
last night:
81 have not believed at any time that
there would be war between this coun-
try and Spain.
THAT McKinley's election was .caus-
ed by large contributions from the
moneyed interests of the country, I
have no doubt. 1 have not thought that
we would get into war because I
thought that interest would see to it
that the settlement of this Cuban ques-
ton would mean a complication in some
way of the Spanish bOndhOlders.
1.-The Spanish barbarities would have
been stopped long ago had it not been
for the mOneyed interests of the world,
which are controlling this country as
well as other countries. To sum up the
whole thing, my opinion is that the set
tlement of the Cuban question is de-
termined upon now, and it is TO see that
the payment of these bonds will be
guaranteed.
mo matter what government is set
up in Cuba, it will be a government
that guarantees the payment of Spa
nish bonds issued and based upon Gu
ban revenues

DRIED FRUIT TRADE.
California Exported 1000 Carloads
Last Year.

San Francisco March 22-The dried
fruit trade is unusually brisk this year.
Dealers say that never before has the
outlook been so bright. Buyers from
eastern cities have visited all parts of the
coast since the beginning of winter, and
they, with the Klondize trade, have pretty
well cleaned up the western market.
Dealers estimate that there still remain
in California about 1000 car loads of rails
ms and half that quantity of pruneS.
The prune trade is becoming one of the
most important Industries of the west.
The growers have been making a bid
for the European trade, and have carried
everything before them. They send sup
plies freely into France, where, in COM
petition with the French product, they
meet with a ready sale. The foreign
trade has been SO successful during the
last year that plans are being made to eX-
tend it widely during the coming season.
AdVices from Los Angeles state that the
through shipments from California to for
eign countries from June 1 to December
of last year were as follows: Prunes. s.
$4,000 pounds; cured fruits, 1892 900
pounds; raisins, 2s6, 900 pounds. These
figures represent the export shipments
which reached the eastern seabOard by
rail from the crop of 1897. Exports by
sea have not yet been compiled, but
close estimate Of these, together with
those that have gone by rail- aggregate
a grand total of about 1000 car loads of
California cured fruits exported to for
eign countries for the season ending with
December 81.

BROKEN PROMISE.
A Bond Who Was Not as Good as
His Word.

If the statements of Alfred Bond, a
young farmer of Brown county, con-
tanned in a petition filed in the supreme
court today, are true, James Bond, an
aged farmer of the same county is
about as mean as they make them"
Young Bond says that for u years he
worked for the elder Bond as a farm
hand without remuneration on the
promise of the latter that as soon as
he married and settled down he would
deed him a $4,000 farm, and at the end
of that time when he did marry and
prepared to settle down, the old man
went back on his bargain and refused
to deliver the farm.
James Bond was the younger Bonds
father only by adoption. Years ago
when the latter was left an orphan
Bond took him into his family and
brought him up on the farm. He
worked on the farm for his board and
clothes until he had attained his major
ity, when he concluded to strike out for
hlmselr But he was good hand
about the place and the elder Bond did
not want to see him so away. He told
him that if he would remain on the
farm for &. few years he would deed him
a good farm when he finally concluded
to settle down in life. He even went
50 far as to buy an adjoining farm for
$4,000, and told the young man that this
property should be his if he did as he
desired.
The young man accepted the PROPOSE
ton, and continued to look after the
farm. Year after year passed and he
still remained with the elder Bond. At
last, in 1894, he fell in love with a
Brown county maiden and was mar
ried. Then he called upon the old
man to carry out his promise.
But James Bond had forgotten all
about his promise by that time. He
even denied ever having made such a
promise. He told the young benedict
that he was insane to imagine that he
meant to give him a valuable farm for
nothing. In a word he fatty refused
to deliver the property.
The young man was hurt at the elder
Bonds deception, but he was far more
mad than hurt. He consulted an at
tOrney, and suit to compel James Bond
to fulfil his promise was instituted
When the case came to trial a jury in
the district court decided in favor Of
the younger Bond.
The case is now appealed to the su-
preme court by the elder Bond.

QUO VADIS IN COURT.
A Copy of the Book Becomes an Ex-
hibit in Evidence.

New York, March 22-The supreme
court of Brooklyn may have to decide
whether or not the ''fervid passages
in Novelist Sienkiewicz's Quo Vadis'
are immoral.
This novel, which has been criticised
and commended so much of late, has at
last become an exhibit in a family suit
which has disrupted the peace in the
home of Lawyer William Dwight Teese
The suit just finished was an action be-
gun by Mrs. Teese to recover through
habeas corpus proceedings their two
children, Leslie Dwight Teese aged 5,
and Marguerite Cooper Teese, who had
been taken from her by her husband
because of Mrs. Teese's alleged indis-
cretions with Rev. Isaac Newton Phelps
"a clergyman attached to the Episco-
pal church in Babylon.
During the taking of the testimony
before Referee jerks it was shown that
the Teeses were members of the read
ing club attached to the church in
Babylon, Mrs. Teese being particularly
fond of the sessions of the club, taking
active part in the discussions on each
new book and novel as it came out.
When Novelist Sienkiewicz wrote
"Quo Vadis,'' the work was taken up by
the club, and Mrs. Teese and Rev. Mr..
Phelps entered heartily into the discus
sion of its merits.
Mrs Teese read the book and told
the minister about it.
Mr.. Teese objected to his wife sending
"QuO Vadis' to the minister, and told
her that he considered the book immor-
al and one which a married woman
should not have sent to a minister. He
then went to the minister and told him
of his objections to the latter receiving
this book from Mrs. Teese.
Mr. Phelps, after admitting that he
had kissed Mrs. Teese because of sym
pathy for her domestic troubles, was
taken in hand by Lawyer J. S. Ross,
attorney for Mrs. Teese.
DO you recall any book that was the
subject of discussion between you and
Mrs. Teese?" asked Lawyer Ross.
Il remember there was one book that
Mrs. Teese had had from the library
which she loaned me to read. L was
anxious to see the book that had been
so much criticised"
You had never read Quo Vadis' be-
fore?'
you found some very ferVId pas
sages in it?''
mot more than any other book of it's
Izind-descriptive."
Descriptive of what?"
Scenes, men, places"
A copy of the book was placed in ev-
idence and will be sent to the supreme
court with the report of the referee
The referee found that while the min
lister had kissed Mrs. Teese, and allow
ing him to do so was AN indiscretion,'
she had not been guilty of any infrac-
ton of her marriage vows and exoner-
ated her from the charge made by her
husband.

DISLIKEs OUR HISTORIES.
British Generals Say England is Not
Treated Fairly.

Boston. March 22.-Gen. Montgomery
Moore, of Halifax, N. s., commander OF
the British land forces in North Amer
lea, spent Sunday in Boston.
What do you think of the suggested
alliance of the two English-spe
nations?" he was asked by a reporter
THAT has been long talked and is
desirable, but we have an idea that
many of our people do not have any too
much affection for Great Britain. We
think that the history you teach in
public schools does not do England
justice and it tends to prejudice the
young Americans against US. me
English have great pride in the fact
that they planted the colonies mere
which have produced this vast repub-
lie and think we should be closely al

do you think that war will be the
outcome of the Maine AFFAIR."" asked
the reporter.
mo, I do not It would be deplor-
able if it should. 1t would set the ma
ton back many years. I do not think
there will be any cause for war. Moth
ing is known of course officially, but
am inclined to think the explosion was
of an internal character These things
have happened in our own navy. 1t
is seldom or almost never, that a con-
spiracy is so completely SUCCESSFUL as
to destroy a vessel, as was the Maine
If it shall be shown that the disaster
was not caused internally general, do
you think the United States will have
ground for a demand on Spain for rep
aratiOn?"
1T is preposterous to think that the
Spanish government could have been
concerned but if any of her servants
did it. 1 think the law of nations would
compel her to make reparattOn and dis
cipline the offenders. If one of my
servants should drive over man in the
streets should be legally responsible
So it would be if a servant of the Span
ish government blew up the Maine.
But if the deed was done by desper-
ADDS, I do not think Spain could be
held responsible. 1 should not want to
express a decided opinion on the point,
but warships would be undesirable Wis

YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT
Few People Do, and That is Why a
Great Man Has Written This
Note Of Nyarnir,c.-

Below IS the synopsis of an address
gwen by Professor Marshall:
1t IS a fact that, today, thousands
OF people are within a foot Of the grave
and they do not know it. Very many
people who read these lines realize that
at times they are unusually tired and
cannot account for ii. They feel dull
and indefinite pains in various. parts Of
the body and do not understand it. Per-
haps they may think it is only a cold
which will soon pass away.
Now, all the symptoms above de-
scribed and many more of a similar ma
ture indicate the coming on of the worst
physical trouble that has ever been
known to the human race. These synp-
toms are, in fact, nothing less than the
1orerunners of that dreadful Bright's
disease of the kidneys which so often
fastens itself upon the constitution be-
fore the victim is aware. 1t is danger
Gus to both men and women, especially
women, is nearly as hereditary as con-
sumption, quite as common, and fully
as fatal"
Until recently it has always been
considered incurable, but a few years
since much excitement was caused
among scientists and the medical pro-
fession by a discovery which actually
cured this fearful disease even in its
last stages. Doctors were amazed at
its power and gladly welcomed it. That
discovery is known among men of sci
ence the world over as Warmers Safe
Cure, and it is no exaggeratiOn to state
that it has accomplished more in the
field of health than anything which has
ever been brought to the attention Of
the medical profession or the general
public"
But the great popularity of Warmers
Safe Cure is due not so much to the
fact that it has rescued the victims OF
Bright's disease from the brink of the
grave, as that it drives away the first
symptoms of this dread malady when
ever they appear and restores the suf-
ferer to perfect health. I do not hest
tate to imDlore everyone who reads
these words not to neglect the slightest
symptoms of kidney difficulty. Certain
suffering and probably death will be
the sure result of such neglect and no
one can afford to hazard such chances
