General Eagan's Sen tence.

Washington. Feb. 4.-There is almost
a positive belief among army officials
that there will be a mitigation Of the
sentence imposed by the court martial
which tried Commissary General Ea-
gan. While the final sentence will be
severe, 1t is not probable that there
will be dismissal from the army.

In years gone by the Mayor of
the city of Wilmington tried all the
cases now tried by Judge Ball be-
fore the Municipal Court was es-
tablished. Judge Cummings was
the hybred produced by the Demo-
cratic free bootees who were then
running the city. The position was
created by the Democrats because
Wilmington at that time had elected
a Republican Mayor. There are
many well thinking people of this
city who think that the position of
Municipal Judge could be done
away with and the Mayor try the
cases the same as during the time
when Joshua Valentine, Joshua
Simms and John Allmon were
mayors of our city.

The obnoxious insurance bill in
troduced into the Senate by Senator
Samuel Knox, has been buried in
the Senate graveyard. It has been
reported as unfavorab bic by the COM
mittee. The bill was dandy,
which if passed would have pre-
vented any citizen of this city from
getting his property insured outside
OF the State. 1t would have created
a monopoly and helped the insur-
ance men in forming one of the
biggest kind of trusts to rob the
people. But like some other bills
before that body, it has met its
waterloo.

THE city of Wilmington could pur-
chase an electric light plant with
the money it pays the Wilmington
City Electric Light Comp any for
two years lighting of our streets,
The city should by all means own
Its own plant and be in a position
to furnish our citizens with electric
lighting at less cost than the
company which has now monopoly
of our city. There is no reason
why the city should not be in a po-
sition to furnish its own illumina-
ton as well as to own its water
plant, which has been so carefully
managed that it is a source of reve-
nue. producer for our city fathers to
spend SO that they are enabled to
keep down the tax rate.

QuestiOnAnswered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of US
ing anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appendix
citis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation OF undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action OF the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of
GREENS AUGUST FLOWER, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

STATE GAME WARDEN BUSY
Two Hundred and Twenty-Five
Cases Were Investigated
In October.

In October.
State Game Warden Morse has
filed his October report. He says
that 225 cases have been investi-
gated, and 118 cases conducted, in
Guiding those now pending, with re-
suits as 70. lows: 90 guilty, 4 not
guilty, 5 dismissed and A still pend
ing; AZ of which were for violation
OF the fish laws, GA for violation OF
the game laws, and z for interfering
with deputy wardens. This latter
offense is new feature, the most OF
them being for refusing to allow
deputy wardens to examine game
coats and game bags, and the war
den says be is glad to say that every
case of this character tried has re-
suited in a prompt conviction and
the administering Of commensurate
punishment. The total amount OF
fines and costs imposed for the
month were $790.50, and the total
value of seizures 1897. 60.

BOGUS CHECK.
A Check on the HOughtOn Nation
al Bank, for $25, Declared
to be Worthless.

Following is from the Houghton
Gazette of Wednesday:
&c. w. Wilson, who said he came
from Baraga, met grief very sud
denly in this city Tuesday. Wilson
bought bill of goods in Jacob
Gartner's store, Hancock, and gave
in payment a check for $25 on the
National Bank of Houghton pur-
porting to be signed by r. r. Smith.
The check was found to be worth
less, the bank claiming that it had
no account with any r. r. Smith in
Baraga. The check was properly
made out and stamped, but the
writing on the face OF it compared
favorably with Wilson's signature
on the back. The goods were re-
covered and Wilson told Justice
Brand that he had been working in
Baraga for man named Smith, but
could give no description of the man.
He said he received the check Mon
day evening and came to Houghton
on the evening train. The check
presented dirty appearance, and
as it was a counter check, one
which can be obtained very easily,
Justice Brands suspicious were
aroused. He had Wilson write his
name on blank piece of paper.
The writing was different from that
on the check. Wilson told Justice
Brand that he did not sign his name
on the back of the check, and that
he was not aware as to how it got
there. He was given his freedom,
but the officers think he will bear
watching.

AN INVENTORS DREAM.
Electricity i'm Capsules for Fam.
lily Use.

Baron Munchausen appears to
have invaded the field Of science. A
more wildly improbable tale than
the following has never been pro-
duced:
Electricity in capsules is the latest
thing in New York A company has
been formed, with $l5, 900, 900 capital,
to supply power in 10 or 12-grain
capsules, which can be bought by
the box and carried around in the
vest pocket One of these capsules
will furnish electricity enough to
keep n light burning all night. The
assertion is made by representa-
tive Of the company that the light
can be furnished at less than one
fifth of mill per lamp per hour for
each l6-candle incandescent globe.
The company intends to sell power
at ten cents an hour for one full
horse power. The capsules can be
used for propelling automobiles, and
it is said that they will take up SO
little room and weigh SO little that
the weight of automobiles will be re
duced materially.
A battery Of the new power,
weighing only $50 pounds, can run
an automobile four or five times as
long and as far as the largest bat
teries now in use, which weighed
1000 to 5000 pounds. If all this
can really be done, it will revou-
tionize the automobile industry and
remove one of the strongest objec-
tions to its use-it's great weight
Automobiles, as at present made,
weigh 1000 pounds and upward, the
heavy burden they are obliged to
carry for propulsion making it i'm
peratively necessary to construct
the carriages on the strongest and
heaviest scale. When one can buy
electricity in the same shape as
box OF quinine pills it will be pos
sible to use it for many purposes
for which it is unavailable at pres.
emit The president of the company,
John Post, who is the discoverer of
the new power, says it can be used
in the most remote and isolated
places as easily as in New York
City, and that farmer can employ
it to heat and light his house, to
draw water, to make butter, to saw
wood, run threshing machine,
drive fans and keep out flies. II it
can do all this, men will no more
think of being without capsules
than going down town without
change in their pockets. New York
