The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
Sarsaparilla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and little Iodide of Potassium
Besides these excellent alternatives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
Il also contains those great kidney reme-
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it 10
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision Of regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsa parilla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hoods SarsapariIla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds Of medicine with
out relief. After taking few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" MRS

GEN. LAYTON IS HOME.
Says He Left Everything in Good |
Shape at Santiago.


New York, Oct 20.-Brigadier General
H. w. Lawton of the military depart
ment of eastern Cuba, has arrived ac-
companied by his aides. The general,
who has been granted a leave of alb
sence for sixty days on account of i'll
health, looked fairly well and said that
the voyage had done him a great deal
of good He will make an extensive
report of the condition of affairs in the
department of which he had charge
while in Cuba. Speaking of the condf-
ton of affairs in Santiago and other
portions of eastern Cuba, General Law
ton said: The general situation is
good and General Wood, who is now in
charge, is rushing the sundry work to
completion as fast as possible. The peo-
pie down there claim that in the his
tory of Santiago the city was never so
clean as it is at the present time. Busi-
ness is reviving also and confidence
among business men is almost complete
" restored. Capitalists are now invest
ing money. The people have accepted
the United States government with the
utmost confidence"
When asked as to the feeling in gen
eral about annexation, the general look
ed quizzically al his questioner and said
he was not prepared to talk about that
matter just now. He added, however:
THE great trouble is that the Cubans
have an army. However, the great
majority of the Cuban troops are
anxious to disband. I was fortunate
in having portions of the Cuban army
under me and was on intimate and
most friendly terms with General Calix-
to Garcia. This friendship brought
about very much better state of feel
ing between the American troops and
those in Garcia's command than had
existed before. No serious breach of
the peace and no robberies have been
reported as having occurred in eastern
Cuba Many of the Cuban soldiers are
gradually leaving the army and return
ing to civil occupations.

BOWERY BOYS RICH STRIKE
John Hampton Tells His Story of Re
markable Adventures

New York, Oct. 20-A little man in a
brown tweed suit who dropped into one
of the leather cushioned chairs at the
Hoffman house this morning and puffed
away at a big Havana with evident
satisfaction, was seven years ago
known as 1.-The Bat by his compan-
ions of the Bowery. Today he is John
T. Hampton, Esq, owner and manager
of Clerkels islands, of the Tuamotu
group of the south Pacific ocean, where
pearl shell is found by the ton and
brings $3.50 a ton.
According to his story Hampton never
knew father or mother and had no
friends.
"One day in 1884, he said, "some-
thing came over me and induced me to
run away. I was % years old then.
had $40 in my pocket, the result of
night shooting craps on Blocker street,
and with that in my pocket worked
my way from New York to San Fran
cisco. I had never worked so hard be
fore 1t took me one month to make
the Journey and I had to do no end of
miserable jobs along, but finally 1 got
there"
He accepted an offer to ship as cabin
boy on a barkentine. At Tahiti, one of
the Society islands, he was discharged
for incompetency. The natives treated
him kindly and finally he shipped to the
Tuamotu islands in a pearl shell
schooner, where he learned how to dive
for shells. That was the beginning of
his fortune. He made pearl fishing his
business and is now very wealthy.

The Chicago Journal Of Monday con-
tanned the following remarkable appeal
to the people of the city:
That the peace jubilee may not be
lacking in harmony and that no Incl
dent may mar its complete success, the
Journal feels constrained to ask the
good people Of Chicago not to hiss Gov
ernor Tanner as he passes by an the
Jubilee parade.
The occasion is one OF national rejoic-
ing. Military, naval, and civic, heroes
are here to do honor to the occasion,
and the city has as it's principal guest
the chief executive of the nation.
In the order of parade Governor Tan
ner's carriage through wise precaution
has been assigned to a position immedi-
ately behind that of the president, and
Of the people along the route should give
expression to their natural feelings at
sight of the governor the action might
be construed as a mark of disrespect to
the city's chief guest.
Don't hiss the governor.

RURNINe THETR BRIpGFs.

If Van Wyck shall be elected it will
give a shock to the gold standard pa
pers which are putting themselves in a
position that will render it impossible
for them to treat his election as any
thing but a victory for silver.
While the New York state Democrat
&c platform made no mention of the
white metal or the national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896, the Repub-
lican journals nevertheless, insist that
the fight IS really being made for what
they term Organism. If, therefore, Col
Roosevelt shall fail in securing a major
aty of the votes, it will be difficult in
the face of current utterances, for these
journals to convince their readers that
the silver question Is dead.
The Democrats have the best of the
situation. If successful they can claim
a silver victory or not as they choose;
81 defeated they can say that the silver
question was not included in the cam
paign- They have two routes of retreat
open while the opposition has burned its
bridges.

NEW WAR TAX DECISION.
Collector of Internal Revenue Sutton
Given Some Late Rulings.

Leavenworth. Oct. 2O.-Conector Of In
ternaI Revenue M w Sutton yesterday
received some new and important rulings
from Commissioner Scott at Washington.
Among those which are most important
to the general public relate to the use OF
special tax stamps on excess railroad bag
gage checks and also rebate checks issued
By conductors, being in excess on fare
collected on trains. Decisions requiring
these checks to be stamped have been re-
versed and parties who have paid errone-
Ously under this decision are notified by
the department that they will be refunded
their money on the proper presentation of
their claims to the department.
The attorney general also holds that
person who engages during the month of
July in any business for which special tax
was required must pay for the entire year
beginning July l, and further if he takes
in a partner after that time the firm thus
created must also pay a special tax rec1-
oned from the first day of the month in
which it began business to July of the
next year. No rebate or allowance is
made on account of the taxes paid by the
person in question for the business carried
on prior to the establishment of the firm.
A ruling to the effect that borrowed
money employed capital in banks must
be taken into account in estimating the
amount on which special tax is to be paid
by a bank, was also given by Commissioners
Scott.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND
GrOWl at Each Other Across
the Channel.
The Gear Assumes the Role of
Peace Maker.

London, Oct. 2O.-The speech of Sir
Michael Hicks Beach at North Shields
has deeply impressed England and the
utmost concern is felt as to how France
will receive it. The idea has been
prevalent that the French have not re-
allied how seriously England felt on the
Fashoda question, which has been
coupled with desire that France would
not force England to an armed support
OF Lord Salisbury's stand.
Most of the morning papers elaborate
some of the excited descriptions of bel
Hgerent preparations of France.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
strained 70 get ready for war, which
may break out on short notice. The
Paris press is growing more and more
determined to back up extreme meas
ureS, even resort to arms. The French
have been excessively piqued by the
threatening tone of the English papers
which is more likely casus belli than
the mere question of Fashoda-
Consequently, the outlook here is
grave. There are reports of troops
hurrying from Paris to Brest and Tou-
lon. The artillery in the batteries and
at the various ports have been con-
fidenrially instructed for any emergency;
and the cannon at all the forts and
batteries are kept ready for action at
any moment. 4nere was a prolonged
war council at Brest of the chiefs of
the various service and NJ. Lockeroy is
hastily returning to TOulon on account
of the gravity of the situation
The Paris correspondent of the Stan
dard says:
IF England keeps on saying that
Marchand must go, France will reply
that Marchand will stay; and, if he be
removed fOrcibly there can be little
doubt as to what the consequences will
be-
On the other hand, the Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily Graphic says:
Il have good reason for stating that
Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign
minister, has discouraged French re-
sistance in the matter of FashOda-"
Most of the papers, however, refuse to
accept the explanation that French ac-
tivity is merely in pursuance of Mr..
LockerOy's scheme. Several exhOrt the
government to answer the preparations
of France by mobilization of the British
fleet.
Some of the conservative organiza-
lions, notably the Times, practically
ignore the French movements and de-
cline to perceive any war cloud.
The Daily Chronicle remarks:
'Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has been at
it again. He is dangerous man. He
has honesty without tact"
Other papers hint that the plain
speaking of the chancellor at a time
when a crisis is approaching is an indis-
erection.

HIS LIBRARY ATTACHED.
Judge Mcdonald, a Fugitive From
Justice, in More Trouble.

Fort Scott Oct. 20-The law library be
longing to Judge J. F. Mcdonald, the Fort
Scott lawyer who caused quite a sensa-
ton in Fort Scott last year by his actions
in the Crawford county mine explosion
cases, has been levied upon in Yates Cen
ter by Order & Kayser, attorneys for the
Edward Thompson Law company of New
York. After the judge removed to Yates
Center his troubles here were added to by
a swindling game operated by him in
which it is said he "roped' in a number
of farmers, and he was compelled to skip
the county
He has been a fugitive from justice for
some months and his whereabouts are un-
known. He is wanted very badly in
Yates Center by the authorities; In 1892
the Thompson Law company obtained
judgement against Mcdonald, which was
never collected, and the library was caught
on an execution just issued, for money
due on part of the books.
The Yates Center officers levied upon
the property just in the nick of time,
the books were being packed by Ernest
Bennett, who worked with Mcdonald, pre-
paratory to being taken out OF the city.
