The liquor cases which are now in
the hands of the appellate court at
FIT. Scott have not vet been decided.
There were two classes of cases, the
regular appeal from the decision of
the Allen county district court, based
upon the findings Of the first grand
jury, and habeas corpus cases, result
ing from the second grand jury. The
opinions in the appeal cases will be
handed dowA the latter part OF this
week, but the habeas corpus cases
have been put Off thirty days and the
attorneys asked to file new briefs, the
court being unable as yet to find the
rights in the matter. There is a
question in the minds of the lawyers
and the court as 10 whether the APP
pellate court has jurisdiction in the
matter. the suspicion beng out that
if the court decides that it has juris-
diction, it will knock out the grand
Jury, on the ground of its invalidity.
There are some twenty-five or thirty
of these cases and the putting off OF
the final decision will keep up inter-
est. If the appellate court decides II
has not jurisdiction, the cases will be
brought here and tried by the district
court, and then carried up on an APP
peal, provided that in the appea

Condensed Information About the South
African Dutch

johannesburg is boom town, but, un-
like most cities of like character, it is
sOlidly and permanently built, many of
the residences being veritable palaces Of
granite and marble, that would do credit
10 any Of our American cities.
The Transvaal is probably the richest
country in the world so far as minerals
are concerned.
The Beers can muster nearly 1900
men armed with MAuser rifles ofthe pat
tern used by the Spanish in the late war.
The. artillery and cavalry horses of she
Beers have all been inOculsted against
the ''tsetse fly" and rhinderpest, both Of
which are aptto play havoc with green
horses in this district.
Business in South Africa, including
Cape Town. is absolutely stagnsnt. Food
stuffs have doubled in price. and thou
sands are without work or money to buy
the necessities of life.
The Southern part Of Africa Is oS vol
eanic origin aud the land in the neighbOr-
hood Of Kimberly is so sulphurOus that
even ants cannot exist Ia it.
Pretoria, the capital Of the South AEri-
can Republic, is thirty miles north of
the ''City Of Gold" and lies 400 feet
above sea level.
The dividends paid by the gold miRes
Of the Witwsterstand in 1898 amounted
To nearly s2LOO00O0 They ranged ali
the way from Is per cent. the lowest, to
800 per cent, and in the case Of the
johannesburg Pioneer to SO per cent.
The Kimberley diamond mines pay
slO,OoO.OOO year profit on a nominal
capital Of double that sum.
In 1871 England annexed the Trans
vaal, and evacuated il in 1881.
In lS4s England conquered and an
Lexed the Orange Free State, and evscu-
ated it six years later.

Catarrh Can Be Cured

By eradiesting from the blood the
scrOfulous taints which cause it. Hoods
Sarsapsrilla cures catarrh, promptly
and permanently, because it strikes at
the root Of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate pas
says Of the mucous membrane, sOothes
and rebuilds the tissues, giving them a
tendency TO health instead Of disease
and ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods SsssapariIla
stTSss:s...: stTSss:s...:sthens IL sssOraJes and energies
the whole system and makes the de-
bilitated victim Of eatarrh feel that
new life has been impaired
Do lot daily with snuff, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure eatarrh
absolutely aud surely by removing the
causes which produce it.

Toads and Bats.

AS result of experiments with tOads
aud bats, it has been demonstrated that
a house, or even a community, can be
rid Of various troublesome insects, in
Guiding flies and mosquitoes. These
experiments we're made by Prof. Clin-
ton F. Hodge, of Clark University,
Worcester, Mass. Professor Hodges
first experiment was with the toad. 81
constructed small pen in my garden" !"
he said, ''and in it, in pan of water,
installed a male and female toad. To
attract food for them I placed within
the inclOsure bits of meat and bone.
The results were as satisfactory as they
were unexpected. The tOads spent
most of the time sitting within reach
Ing distance of the bait and killing the
flies attracted by it. / watched one
toad snap up eighty-six house flies in
less than ten minutes.
"One day / gathered s quantity Of
rose bugs in tin box and began to feed
the bugs to toad. At first / did not
count, but, finding his appetite so good,
I started to count. When | bad count
ed over eighty bugs and the toad show
ed no signs of wishing to conclude his
meal, picked him up. Previous to
my beginning to count he had taken
anywhere from ten to twenty bugs. /
found the toad equally greedy for rose
beetles, canker worms, ants, caterpil-
lars, moths, June bugs, weevils, snails
and many other insects. So, too, in
house, q room may be cleared Of cock
reaches by leaving toad in it over
night.
A single toad may destroy over two
thousand worms during the months OF
May, June and July, and one Of these
harmless creatures may well do gar
dener service to the amount Of Sl9 IS
each season, and yet he can raise so, 600
worth of toads at an expense Of not
more than 20 cents.
Farmers in England buy them, pay
ing as high as s24 thousand, for use
in their flower beds and gardens. For
household purposes q small number Of
toads could be given homes in an aqua
rum. At night the toads could be let
loose to kill bugs, while in the day they
could kill flies. / have built a sort OF
cage or wire screen foot wide and two
feet long, the topOf which is kept open.
1t is only necessary to put in two or
three tOads, provide them with shelter,
with dish Of water In one corner, and
then keep them supplied with bits Cf
raw meat and any other refuse matter
calculated to attract hiii5s.n
In speaking Of the bat, Professor
Hodge said; 1--WE have no animal
more interesting, and probably none
more valuable, and certainly none less
understood and more abused than the
bat. They are easily tanned, absolutely
harmless when gently handled, and
make pets as funny as tiny monkeys
AS destroyers of many Of our most pes
tiferous night-nying insects like mos
quitoes, the bat is almost our sole de
pendence, and, as he is known to hunt
insects afoot, as well as on the wing, he
is also Of some value for Larvae that dc
not fy.
