struction on Sept. 80, being $4,000 tons
above the previous best record, while 80
warships, of 376, 435 tons, are also build

Great Britain's maritime supremacy
is shown by the fact that 49S out of 59S
merchant ships are being constructed
for British owners.
The Medical Journal publishes the
report of DIR. Icenel of Paris, asserting
that guillotining does not Immediately
affect the brain. The French doctor
says the blood first comes from the
larger vessels of the neck and there is
hardly any drain upon the circulation
in the Uranium. The brain, he adds,
finds nourishment for an hour after de-
capitation, during which time the per-
son decapitated retains his or her
senses of hearing, smelling and seeing.
Absolute death, DR.. Icenel claims, does
not ensue for three hours. Thus it is
pointed out that guillotining, instead of
being speedy, is one of the most pro-
longed and horrible forms of capital
punishment

stration of a like nature since the re-
turn of the British troops from the
Crimean war.
There was a brilliant gathering of
military chiefs and relatives of officers
at the station.
When the battalion marched from the
photographed station the enthusiasm
broke out in the dense masses of people
gathered to welcome the soldiers home,
and their march from the station to the
barracks was in the nature of a tri-
umphal progress. There were many
pathetic scenes. The men looked quaint
and weary, instead of the strapping
fellows who left London. Many of the
returning soldiers brought with them
interesting relics of the campaign in
the shape of Dervish swords, spears or
shields.
Much interest has been evoked from
the German military attaches report
of the battle of Omdurman He says
he was particularly struck by all the
operations, except the charge of the
Lancers, which he claims was absurd.
On the other hand, the German officer
says the handling of the artillery was
absolutely uneQualled and he asserts
that the endurance and spirit of the
troops were beyond all praise.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition OF the mucous lining of the
EUstachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by ca

Harrison, of the United States Mort gage and Trust Co.,, were en route to Prescott and would arrive in about one week. Mir. Hoadley has been very energetic to place the water works bonds, and it is indeed grati- lying that ne has been successful Both gentlemen will appear before the city council, when the financial features of the problem will probably be satisfactory considered and settled.
 Journal Miner: A. C. Applestill is having rather hard and unpleasant journey along the road of legal ills of late. Yesterday he was tried before Judge Moore on misdemeanoT charge, and acquitted. For the thlrd time Mir. Applestill has been in court and as many times has been dis charged. The saying that person cannot be tried twice for the same Offense don't seem to work in his case, as the legal network seems to be woven so completely, that a thread remains somewhere - on him.

Secret negotiations are now actually

ing to a stoppage of the war on some
financial basis, to be agreed upon here
after.

Direct communication has been had

pressed perfect willingness to assume a
reasonable share of the Spanish bonds
issued against the Cuban revenues. The
proposition has been considered with
some favor and the president and his
cabinet have discussed several plans
for guaranteeing the Cuban debt on the
sole basis of independence.
These negotiations have gone side by

A SLAP AT ASTOR.
William WaldOrf's Ways Sc
Verely Criticised in the
London Chronicle.

London, Feb 4-The Daily Chronicle
publishes a letter signed English Citi-
zen,'' in which, after referring to the
beauties of Clivden, the residence near
London of William Waldorf Astor, and
the liberty the former noble owners al
lowed the public in the park, gardens and
house, the writer continues:
"A few years ago the property was sold
to a rich American. First, the park was
surrounded by a hideous wall, covered
with broken glass, and access thereto and
to the house was forbidden. Even a
spring of water, which for a century has
been open to the public, quite distant
from the house, is now closed, and the
iron gate in the old park wall, allowing
a view Of the house and avenue, has been
building in it's place, so sacred is the pri-
Vacy of the present owner
After alluding to the fact that the pub
lie is admitted to two great estates ad-
joining Clivden, the writer OF the letter
adds:
mo reasonable man wishes to prevent
Americans or citizens OF other states from
inhabiting our country, but if they wish
to do so. their first duty is to show decent
respect for the customs OF their adopted
country. Failing this, it becomes a duty
to ask whether there is no way of teach
ing them good manners
law, ''once a highway, always high
way the writer says: Under ordinary
circum stances, there is no wish to press
the maxim, but when we see so gross a
tesy in English life, we may fairly take
advantage of the law intended to keep
the enjoyment and right of way on Eng
lish soil open forever to EnghShm2n, and
give a lesson to wealthy strangers who
would not dare to strain the rights of
property in their countries

MANIAC'S DEED.
Kills His Father, Mother and
Son and Seriously Wounds
Four Others.

Little Rock, Feb. 4.-Sol Autrey, a
farmer, accompanied by his family, went
early yesterday morning to visit his
aged father and mother living near
Mulberry. Shortly after his arrival
Autrey became engaged in a religious
argument with the old folks. Suddenly
he grasped an iron bar, killed his aged
father, mother and his 10-year-old son
and seriously wounded his wife and
three children, two of whom are not ex-
pected to live. His wife and eldest
daughter, although badly hurt managed
to notify the neighbOrs. When they
reached the house they found AUtrey a
raving maniac, with his clothing on fire.
He was overpowered after a hard strug-
gle.
The three dead victims of the crazy
man lay on the floor, beaten, burned and
mangled almost beyond recognition. He
has been chained all day, talking in
cOherently, and swearing that witches
were the cause of the act.

MATTOX ON A SPREE.
Released Murderer Tries to
Paint Newton a Bright Red.

Newton, Feb 4.-The notorious Clyde
Mattox, who gained such an unenvious
reputation a few years ago by his fend-
ish murder of men in the Indian and
Oklahoma Territories, spent the past
two days here
MattOx came to town yesterday
morning and evidently behaved himself
until about noon when he began to fill
up on drug store whisky. It was not
long before he was reeling, shouting
drunk. Most of the afternoon he spent
at down town billiard hall, near the
railroad, so drunk that he hardly main
tained his equilibrium. He reeled about
the room, grasping at tables, and cry
ing out:
Il am Clyde Mattox, the same old
Clyde Mattox! Just the same as before
I went to the PEN
He announced in the billiard hall that
he was going to Denver to meet his
brother. When the Denver train came
in MattOx did not appear to notice IT
until it began to pull out OF the yards.
Then he rushed, staggering, from the
billiard hall and tried to board the train
He managed to cling to the platform
of a rear Pullman, and was dragged
along for some little distance. Some
one standing by noticed him, and pulled
him away in time to save MIN from De-
ing dragged under the wheels.
His friends then took him and his grip
and tried to keep him out of mischief.
his grip was slowed away III a ASSLeAAA
ant, and he was taken for walk
around to sober up. At supper he was
still quite drunk, and declared he would
paint the town red and show it a hot
time He said he had $50 and would
blow" it in readily.
Joe Jermaine, a local crook, said that
he was going with MattOx and help him
spend the money. Sheriff Means then
did little announcing of his own, and
declared that if MattOx raised any dis
turbance he would land in the county
Jail.
After supper Mattox prepared to go
out by taking out of grip large 40
Colts revolver, which he stuck In MS
pocket.
He and Jermaine then went to a
show at the opera house. They evident
" reconsidered their intention OF paint
ing the town red, as they behaved them
selves, and shortly after the show was
out. Mattox went to Murphy's restaur-
ant and registered under the name OF
John Strobe of Hunnewell, Kan. What
his reason is for using this alias is un-
known
Mattox was recognized here by sever
al who knew him years ago. He was
recognized in particular by Jas Noths
who was at Oklahoma City the time OF
the shooting and was but few rect
from the man when shot. He recogn1z-
ed Mattox at once and said there could
be no mistake.

The Last Grave Robbery Case Results
in the Acquittal of a. S. johnson.
DR.. A S. Johnson has been acquitted
of completely in the grave robberies Of
two years ago. Johnson was a student
at the Medical college at the time the
robberies were committed and he was
charged with receiving stolen bodies.
The first trial was held at Alma a
year ago and Johnson was convicted
but the appellate court reversed the
verdict in his case and it was again
called for trial at Alma this week. The
Jury was out about three hours and re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.
This closes up the long series of GRIM
inaI suits arising from the grave rob-
berries All the cases were dropped ex-
cept those against NJ. E, Lowe and
Johnson. Lowe is now serving a, term
of six months in the Wabaunsee county
iail-the sole victim of the suits.
T. F Doran acted as attorney for the
defense in the cases. DR.. Johnson is a
regular practicing physician in Topeka
and otherwise bears a good reputation.
He formerly taught school.

an expensive lesson, and it is probable

Since justice failed to reach all the
guilty parties, however, there is a re-
sentiment among the masses which it
