There is no ambition nobler than that OF
the Ilardworking farmer. He toils early and
late to secure for himself and his family
that most lasting of fortunes, an allotment
of land, clear Of Indebtedness. No other
fortune ia SO secure and permanent. There
are in England families of small farmers,
living in assured comfort and contentment,
upon the lands acquired by their forefathers
500 years ago.
The achievement of the farmers ambition
depends great deal upon the good health
of himself and his family. If they suffer
from bilious attacks and indigestion and do
not promptly resort to the right remedy,
almost any known sickness may be the re-
suit. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is a speedy cure for biliousness, iudi-
gestion and the evils that follow them. It
makes the liver active, the digestion per-
feet, the appetite keen and the blood pure,

HANNA STILL OUT OF 1T.
No Progress Made in Fastening Sus-
piciOn Upon Him or His

Columbus, o.. Feb. 1.-Two hackmen were
examined by the senate committee investi-
eating the bribery charges this evening.
The purpose of the testimony was to at
tempt to show that II. II. Boyce. who is
alleged to have attempted to bribe Repre-
sentative Otis. came to Columbus on the
afternoon of January TO- inauguration day,
and met Major Rathbone. one of Senator
Hanna's lieutenants. The testimony failed
utterly of its purpose. The hackmen told
about having driven two men around the
city, but could not describe either of them,
Eor did they hear any conversation that
would give any clue to the identity of the
two men.
Charles Stetz. employed by the Colum-
bus Transfer Company, testified that on in
auguration day he took a man from the
Nell house to the Union station about noon:
that after waiting there short time he
was instructed to drive to Broad street east,
opposite No. 263. After waiting at the lat
ter place carriage drove up in front of 263,
and his passenger told him to go over to
the carriage and tell u man on the inside
to get into his iSteitZD carriage. The man
in carriage No. had two ValiseS, which
he deposited in Steitz carriage. and then
Steitz drove the two men around for an
hour or two.
Steitz said he was instructed. in case any
one followed them to drive fast. Once he
thought he saw a carriage following, and
h" whipped up the horses and was soon
out of Sight One of the passengers subse-
quently left the carriage on Third street,
opposite the capitol, and the other left it
near the depot.
George ii. Brown. another hackmen. told
of driving a stranger to 263 East Broad
street. and of the passenger being trans
ferred to another hack. Neither of the
hackmen could describe the alleged myste-
rious passengers. and neither of them
krew Boyce or Rathbone. Brown contra
doted SteitZ by stating that the man left
his cab and had started into the house be-
fore he was called by Steitz.

WOMEN WITNESS A LYNCHING.
See q West Virginia Murderer
StrunE In,

Bramwell. w. Va, Feb. 1.-Wiliiam Ball
ey, a desperate negro who less than a
month ago was released from the state PEN
itentiary after serving three years for in
voluntary manslaughter, was lynched last
midnight by posse of coal miners who
work in the Flat Top fields near here.
Bailey during last evening shot and in
stantly killed Harry Draper "a well known
citizen, who was watching at the K. & w.
tunnel and depot. His only excuse for the
killing was that Draper had refused to let
him walk through the tunnel.
Bailey had been in Jail but few hours
When crowd Of lynchers arrived and after
firing a few shots at the guards about the
jail to frighten them away, they proceeded
to batter down the doors. On reaching the
prisoner, a rope was tied about his neck
and he was dragged to the nearest tree,
where he was strung up. More than fifty
shots were then fired into his body by the
lynchers. His remains were allowed to
hang in the open air all night and the
body was frozen stiff this morning.
1t is reported that in spite Of the fact
that the lynching occurred in binding
snow, 1T was witnessed by half as many
women as men, who cheered on their liege
lords. and who. after the negro's body had
been shot into shreds, crowded about the
mangled remains.
Bailey, 1t is said. had killed three men
during his life. Draper was prominently
known and belonged to the Masonic order
as well as to several other secret societies.

STEER BURIED IN STRAW.
Lived for Ninety-nine Days Without
Water and Now Doing Well
on BOILED Bran.

Frederick, Md. Feb. 1.-James Houck.
vice president Of the Franklin Savings bank
of Frederick, advertised October 20, 1897.
that young steer had strayed away from
his farm. Nothing was heard of the ami
NAL, and it was given up for lost. One of
the colored men on the farm noticed last
Friday that several hens were frequently
going into hole in straw stack in the
barnyard. Thinking they had a nest there
he crawled in about fifteen feet in search
of the eggs. He came out much quicker
than he had gone in, declaring the stack
was haunted. as something had kicked him.
Another man was sent in to investigate.
He came out, exclaiming that something
was alive in there. as he felt hairy leg
and 1t had kicked his hand. A large hole
was then cut in the stack and the missing
steer was found. 1t had been imprisoned
there ninety-nine days without water or
food. excepting the straw. 1t had eaten
a hole about ten feet square in the stack.
The hands on the place then recalled that
on the second days threshing they had
seen the steer standing against the stack
which had been made the first day They
saw the straw falling over the animal, but
thought it had moved away. When rescued
1t was very weak and emaciated, but is
doing very well now on boiled bran.

WILL VISIT WEST INDIES.
Cruiser Brooklyn May Touch at Cuba
only n Resumption of an Old
Custom, However.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Orders have been
given by Secretary Long TO have the big
armored cruiser Brooklyn make a cruise
through the West Indies, especially among
the Windward islands st. Thomas and St.
Cruz, The vessel is now fitting out at the
New York navy yard and 1t was expected
that she would have sailed before this time,
but certain small repairs were found neces-
Sary at the last moment. However. she Will
be ready for sea in day or two. 1t was
at first intended to have the Brooklyn JOIN
the North Atlantic squadron at Dry Tor
tugas, in which case she would have gone
directly from New York to Key West, but
the change i'll her orders will make it neces-
sary for her to put in at Newport News.
Va, to take on coal for the longer trip she
has before her. This cruise of the Brook
lyn is to be followed by others in the same
direction, as was the case every winter
until the interpostion of the veto upon
such cruises brought about by the fear that
the presence of the United States vessels
in the neighborhoOd of Cuba might be
misunderstood. This fear now being re-
moved, and the way being clear for the
resumption of the old practice as to VIM
ter cruises, 1t is the intention of the sec
retary of the navy to allow some of the
smaller gunboats to touch at points along
the coast of Cuba, outside of Havana, such
as MatanZas and Santiago and other ports,
where the American flag has not been seen
on national vessel for several years.

Sailor Rescued From an Island in the
Pacific, Tells n Wonder
full Story.

San Francisco. Feb. 1.-The steamer Cot
tage City. which Captain Harry Goodal
brought to port last night from New York.
had on board three shipwrecked sailors.
They were John O'Neill. John Doll and
John Smith, and they were all cast away
on Easter island on May q last.
O'Neill Is late of Dublin, later still of
New York. and still later of the United
States navy. He and his companions were
on the island for six and n half months,
and the king shed tears at parting with
O'Neill. O'Neill tells this.
According to the same authority. the
man-o' '-war's-man was presented with a
throne. but he declined It because of the
knowledge that he could not appreciate it
in this country. O'Neill says:
"The king is all right. He and I were
chums. and we used to go riding together.
He made me his prime minister, and
taught him to speak Irish.
He wanted me to stay very badly, and
said he would make me king and marry me
to princess IL l would. All we got to eat
was salt beef and fish. And there was
not anything to drink on the island but
water-I couldn't stand that. and SO came
away"

Sonoma county had more friends. For the
past few days his mental condition has been
a matter of gravest solicitude to his friends.
although at intervals he was perfectly sane.
Yesterday he called on several old friends.

usual this morning and shortly after locked
himself in the bathroom. He severed his
jugular vein with a bowie knife. dying
almost instantly. His family was aroused
by the falling of his body to the floor and

no stain on his political party honor, and
his vote for the Nelson amendment was
cast as a protest against silver monometal-
lism.
He felt that his vote was in line with the
Republican policy outlined at st. Louis.
lie WAS earnestly in favor of international
bimCtalliSm, and was as earnest as any
man in the chamber I'm his efforts TO main
tain the national honor. He felt that to
the Republican party might be intruSted
the duty to solve the financial question.
That solution would not be on the line of
gold monometallism, nor on the line of
silver Tnonometallism, but on that of BIZ
metaliism-international or other. Sooner
perhaps. than many expected bimetallism
would be a reality. and the time would be
here when gold and silver would be re-
ceived on equal terms at the mints and
every dollar of the government would be
maintained at an equal value and use with
every other dollar. That. Mr.. Clark con-
rluded. was one of the missions of the Re-
publican party. and il would be performed
with honesty and fidelity.

New York, Feb. Totals of bank clear
ings at leading cities for January, as re-
ported to Bradstreet's. bear testimony to
