Notice to Horse Breeders.

On account of poor health, and not

selves the strictly pure bred imported
Percheron Stallion Pacha Dick, Nos.

His weight at the present time being
about 1000 pounds; a coal black; II
hands inch high; very heavy bone
any very compact; solid, smooth built
horse; with a star on forehead, and
long heavy main and tail. He will
make the season of 1898 at his home,
and stand for service at $500 for the
season, payable at the time of service,
before the mare leaves the place, a
rule that must be complied with.) Pas

TO ATTACK AMERICA
SPANISH ADMIRAL SAID TO HAVE
SUCH ORDERS.
SAMPSON AND scHLEY ACTIVE
Belief in Washington That the Invading
Fleet Will be Intercepted and De-
stroyed-Desperate Battle Close
at Hand.

Curacao, Dutch West Indies, May IL.
The Spanish fleet is now supposed to
be off the coast of Venezuela or off the
coast of Colombia. Only a portion of
the feet was allowed to enter this har-
Dor to obtain provisions, cattle and
coal, which were purchased here.
Confirmation was obtained of the re-
port that the Spaniards left one OF
their torpedo gunboats at Fort de
France, Island of Martinique.
St. Thomas, Danish West Indies,
May 18.-It was reported here yester-
day that on Sunday last, from noon
until p. M twenty-seven vessels
slowly steamed westerly north of Tor
tola island, forty miles east of St.
Thomas. One steamer, which ap-
preached the land, showed the Span
ish flag.
New York, May 1S.-A special from
Kingston, Jamaica, says the report has
reached that place that three warships,
the nationality of which it was impos-
sible to make out, were seen last even
ing off Moran point, at the southern
extremity of Jamaica. The ships were
taking a southerly course.
New York, May 18.-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Aller, which ar
rived Tuesday from Genoa, Naples and
Gibraltar, passed close to Punta Del
gardo, Azores, on her way to this port,
and saw at that place four war vessels
one Italian, one French, one Portu-
guese and one Dutch. The latter sailed
west on May II.
Boston, Mass, May 18.-A special
cable from Turks island says the
American cruiser Minneapolis passed
through the channel Tuesday, steering
a southerly course. Turks islands is
north of San Domingo.
Galveston, Tex, May 18.-The Nor
wegian steamer Transit, Capt. Schlyt-
ter, which arrived from Progreso, in
quarantine last night, reports having
heard cannonading 100 miles off Gal
weston in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday
while en- route to this port. 1t lasted
five to ten minutes, but the Transit
did not tarry to investigate. The pre-
sumption is that the cannOnading was
patrol boat in practice. Alarmlsts
think it was by scouting vessels of the
Spanish Cape Verde fleet, last report
ed at Curacao.

Claude Stevenson, oof Salem, Falls
Under a Train.

Salem had another accident added
to her lis0 Wednesday morning. About
three o'clock Wednesday morning the
night operator, Claude Stevenson,
went down into the yard to find the
conductor of the ice "pick up, "
which was working east of the station.
When he got ready to go back to the
station the train was ready to back up
in the direction he was going, and he
jumped on and rode up. When he
went to jump off his left foot caught
in such a way as to carry it under a
wheel, crushing the heel so badly that
amputation of the whole foot was nee
essary. DR.. Farr, of Kenosha, the
company's physician, was called and
had charge of the operation. Mr..
Stevenson's home is in Capron, ILL.,,
and he came here about six weeks ago
to take the position he held at this
time. During his stay he has made
many friends in Salem who are sorry to
hear Of this accident.

cross the street. Mr.. and Mrs. Skinkle
were riding very fast and unable to
stop but struck the dog and "spill"
occurred. Mrs. Skinkle was not seri-
ously injured, but her husband was
thrown over the handle bars and struck
on his face on the hard pavement,
leaving him with several bad bruises

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS.
And Accept Plans for the New Building
in the Third Ward.

And Accept Plans t0r the new BUILDING
in the Third Ward.
The school board met at the city hall
Tuesday evening for the purpose of
taking final action in regard to the
plans for the new building in the third
ward.
The committee reported favorably
on the acceptance of the plans and
specifications presented by Van Ryn
and Gelleke, of Milwaukee, on account
of the excellent manner of lighting,
the arrangement for corridors and
cloak rooms, the placing of sanitary
closets on the ground floor and the
ample provision for blackboard and
seating room. The committee also
spoke very highly of the plans pre-
sented by Pond and Pond.
The committee went to Milwaukee
and made a very careful investigation
of the work done by the successful de-
signers and found that they had fur
shed plans for the most modern
buildings in that city. The report OF
the committee was accepted and
adopted and the plan suggested by the
Milwaukee firm will be used if they
can furnish a satisfactory elevation
and guarantee that the work can be
done for $4,000.
The board transacted no other bust
ness of Importance.

HARRY F. HEWITT.

Washington, May Is, 3 p. m.-There
has been nothing of interest in Wash :
ington during the past twenty -four
hours, and in fact it is announced that
the war department have decided not
to give out any reports whatever in the
future The troubles existing between
General Merritt and Secretary Alger
have undoubtedly been patched up, for
General Merritt has signifed his will
lingness to 60 to the Philippines, and
Major Gen. E. S. Otis will be second in
command. The talk of invading Cuba
is still very prevalent but little atten-
ton is being paid to it, as such an in
vasion will not be made Entil the two
great fleets meet in actual conflict. A
rumor is abroad here that the battle
ship Oregon has joined SIMPSONS fleet,
but no official confirmation of this re-
port has been made.
The president has signed a bill
for $4,000 more troops, including the
yellow fever immunes needed for i'm
mediate action in Cuba, and it is said
that rs, 900 volunteers will be asked for
by the end of the week.

NORTHWESTERN WILL HELP.
Will Furnish Material and Services for
Paving Grand Avenue.


I. Some interesting facts have been
given out in regard to the paving Of
Grand avenue, which will be received
with considerable pleasure by the
residents along the avenue. The
Northwestern railroad have agreed to
give some very material assistance
both in the way of furnishing material
and services to the city to complete the,
work. The company it is said have
promised to furnish to the city all the
crushed stone necessary to build the
entire street. The company have also
offered to give gratis the transporta-
ton of all the stone and brick needed
in the work.
The company have agreed to make
this proposition to the streets and
alleys committee on purely business
grounds. 1t is said that the company
have been asked to lay switch to the
Allen SoGs' tannery, but that such
track would demand the expenditure
of a large amount of money. By
paving the street the managers would
be satisfied to deliver their products
to the railroad at its own tracks. This
action on the part of the railroad will
be of great Importance to the residents
of Grand avenue and will furnish them
paved street at less than half the
estimated cost.

nervous, petulant and respondent
Generally ill-health in woman is due to
disorders or arrangements of the delicate
and important feminine organs which are
the cradle of the race No woman who suf-
fers in this way can retain her good looks
or her attractiveness. The daily burden of
torturing, dragging pains that she carries
will soon make her a physical wreck, and
eventually either kill her or drive her to
insanity. Any woman may restore and re-
tain her health and strength in a womanly
way by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t cures absolutely and COM
plete1y the weakness and diseases peculiar
to her sex. 1t does away with the neCes-
sity for the obnoxious g" examinations " and

all physicians, and enables her to treat her
self in the privacy of her home It is the
invention of DR.. r. " Pierce for thirty

Road June /.
I. r. Nelson has rendered his resig-
nation as superintendent of the
Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha Electric
Railway company to take effect on
June 1st. Mr.. Nelson will be succeeded
by John Blatt, of Cleveland, Ohio,
who assisted in the construction Of a
portion of the line. Mr.. Nelson, who
has been with the road since it was
first established, has not yet determined
what he will do. He is one of the best
railway men in the business; has built
the road up to high standard, and is
popular with the travelling public and
citizens at large. His resignation will
be learned with regret by all patrons
of the road. Racine Journal.

CFrom a Special Correspondent.

Washington, May IL, 3 p. m.-Every-
thing is quiet in Washington today,
and very little news of any movements
of men or fleets is being given out.
The cables received from Madrid and
other European cities today seem to
show that Sagasta is having very great
trouble in forming a new cabinet, and
many of the leading men of the nation
have refused to serve under him as
premier. In Washington a political
quarrel is brewing between General
Merritt and Secretary Alger. Old
troubles between the men have been
revived, and it is said that the rupture
will lead to the change of policy in re-
gard to the appointment of Governor
General to take charge Of our interests
in the PHILIPPINES.
The trouble between the secretary
and the general is quarrel OF old
standing. Some time during the civil
war General Merritt recommended that
Alger be dismissed from the army IN
disgrace. Alger has been eagerly
awaiting a time to resent this insult,
and now the time has come, and it may
result in General Merritt losing his
place in the army. His former rank
as commander of the troops in the east
gives him every reason to demand a
better place, and he may positively
refuse to go to the Philippines. The
affair is considered as a scandal here,
and is the only topic in official circles.
The trouble between the two war
riors may cause serious trouble and
delay.

ATTACK THE UNITED STATES. =
Paris Papers Continue Their Campaign

Paris Papers Continue Their Campaign
of Abuse.
Paris, May 18.-The Paris press con-
tinues it's campaign of abuse against
the United States. TIE Patrie is espe-
cially ingenious in devising new forms
of insult. 1t informs it's readers, under
livid headings, that general anarchy
prevails in the United States.
1t declares in an article headed "Do
You Remember" that in 1870 the
United States congratulated Germany
upon it's victory over France, as
triumph of civilization over barbar-
ism.
The Figaro publishes with approval
passage from Count Won Beusts
book, "The Last of the Napoleons. .
The author, after censuring Europe
for remaining a spectator Of the down
fall of France, says:
"A1l Europe will suddenly see the
American eagle, after having torn the
pearl of the Antilles from Spain, be-
gin to NEEDLE in Europe's affairs, and
weigh down with overpowering heav1-
ness the destinies of our little, old
monarchies."
The Figaro says that this prediction,
written in 1872, ought now to attract
universal attention, as it is likely to
be fulfilled.
These two papers are particularly
conspicuous, but the general tone OF
the Paris press is calculated to in
crease still more the French dislike
of America.

ELIJAH BROWN,

Elijah Brown, the cobbler, was enamored Of
the muse,
And all his time was given up to stanzas and
20 shoes.
He scorned to live a tuneless life, ingloriously
mute,
And nightly laid his last aside to labor at his
lutte,
For he had registered an oath that lyrical re-
noWn
Should trumpet to the universe the worthy
name of Brown.
And, though his own weak pinions failed to
reach the heights of song,
His genius Matched a brilliant scheme to help
his oath along,
And all his little youngsters, as they numer.
ousN came,
He christened after poets in the pantheon of
fame,
That their poetic prestige might impress them
and inspire
A noble emulation to adopt the warbling Tyre.
And Virgil Brown and Dante Brown and Tasso
Brown appeared,
And Milton Brown and Byron Brown and
Shakespeare Brown were reared.
Longfellow Brown and Schiller Brown arrived
at mans estate,
And Wordsworth Brown and Goldsmith Brown
filled up the family slate,
And he believed his gifted boys, predestined
to renown,
In time would roll the bowlder from the bur
led name of Brown.
But still the epic is unsung and still that
worthy name
Is missing from the pedestals upon the hills of
fame,
For Dante Browns a peddler in the vegetable
line,
And Byron Brown is pitching for the Tusca-
rora nine.
Longfellow Brown, the lightweight, is a pugil-
ist of note,
And Goldsmith Browns a deckhand on a Jer-
sey f%erryboat.
In Wordsworth Brown Manhattan has an es-
Unable cop,
And Schiller Browns an artist in a Brooklyn
barber shop.
A rowing tar is Virgil Brown upon the bound
ing seas,
And Tasso Brown is usually engaged in max.
ing cheese.
The cobbler's bench is Milton Browns, and
there he pegs away,
And Shakespeare Brown makes cocktails in .
Cripple Creek cafe.
