CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
syell-KnOwn Nirginin Young MAJ
Placed Under Arrest.

Winchester Va, June S.-A big sensa-
tion was caused here yesterday when it be-
came known that three well-known young
men of the town of hitherto excellent char
acter had been arrested and lodged in Jail
at late hour the preceding night on a
charge of robbery. The men arrested are
Harry NJ. Anderson, John Morrison, and
his brother Thomas Morrison. The vic
tim of the robbery is Charles Cooper, an
aged resident of Hampshire county. West
Virginia. The crime was committed about
dark on May 30, and the robbers succeed
ed in obtaining over $500 in cash.
Living with Mr.. Cooper are Poland Kel
Ter and his wife About dusk on that
evening Keller heard knock at the door
and upon answering it was confronted by
three masked men, one OF whom showed
a revolver in his face and after ordering
him to keep quiet asked where Mr.. Cooper
kept his money. Just then Keller's wife
appeared and in an instant another revolv-
er was pressed against her temple by
second masked man. The third robber
then began to ransack the house for the
money and, coming to Mr.. Cooper's room,
found him in bed. He rolled the old man
over and, reaching under the mattress,
found 1894, which he took. After warning
the trio not to make any outcry the three
men left and, going to belt of woods near
by, got in a vehicle and drove off in the
direction of Capron Bridge.
Just a short distance from the scene OF
the crime resident of the neighborhood,
who knew Anderson, one of the men ar
rested, passed him and two companions a
little while before the holdup took place.
Two OF the men arrested were recognized
by Keller on the street here Tuesday in
the large crowd attending Confederate
memorial exercises. The men, it is state
ed. had been under police surveillance for
several days past and learning that they
-Stended leaving town the police took
them into custody. The men belong to
excellent families and this is the first time
they have been in trouble They will be
given a preliminary hearing and if the
evidence warrants it, they will be taken
to Romney. W. Va, the county seat of
Hampshire county for trial. Papers for a
requisition have been forwarded.

TO TAKE LADIES TO GUAM.
Families of Naval Officers Will BE
Carried hE the SOIacc.


1t is the purpose of the Government TO
make the residence of the naval officers
now on their way to Guam to administer
the affairs of the new colony as pleasant
as practicable. and to allow every reasona-
BILE demand that the governor and his staff
may make. Service at Guam is not desir-
able. and as the officers sent there are ex-
pected to remain full three years, it is
with some alarm that officers watch the
Naval Gazette" fearing they may hnd
themselves under orders to proceed to the
islands.
The Yosemite is now On the way there
with a general cargo for establishing the
colony, including everything needed from
furniture for residences to windmills and
farming implements. 1t is not the inten-
tion of the authorities TO make the colony
exclusively one of men, as has been sup
posed.
1t is not believed the men wcu,d be con-
tent in so lonely 4 place without the COM
paniorship of women. and while il is con-
trary TO the regulations for the Govern
ment TO provide facilities and trsnsporta-
ton for moving the wives and families Of
naval officers about the world. it is thought
that as Guam presents so unusual case
the regulations may be disregardei.
The Solace will be fitted out at San
Francisco with accommodations for linn
tied number of ladies, and on its next trip
to Guam early in July. will carry the fam
lilies of several officers who are now bound
there on the Yosemite. The libsrality CT
the naval authorities in al!oSing women
to proceed to Guam will be cordially ap-
preciated b. the navy.

Fad Treatment of Passengers on a
JnpHncsc Schooner.

Victoria, B. c., June S.-A band Of
twenty seven natives of zap who took pas
sage for Guam on japanese schooner
the Matsusoka. Captain Ola. recently suf-
fered an awful experience through the iu-
humanity of the Japanese shipmaster. Aft
er being carried to every island in that
part of the ocean but TO that to which they
were bound, the unfortunate natives were
unceremoniously dumped ashore on one OF
the Bonin group of islands and left there
without food or means OF obtaining the
same. They were working on the Copra
plantations OF Copra King O'Keefe, until
October 10. when they took passage on the
japanese schooner for Guam, 400 miles
away. From Yap they were taken to the
Pelew group where they were put ashore
and two months later taken ON board
again. the captain telling them that he
would now take them to their destination.
Instead. however. he took them to the
Bonins and marooned them. Then a storm
bound schooner found them and rescued
them. but not before six had starved to
death The others were taken to one OF
the populated islands Of the group whence
number were sent to Yokohama by a
Mrs. Robertson. The others. twelve in
number, are still on the island.
The Japanese authorities are inve5tigat-
ing the matter and Captain Oda will be
thrown into Jail Immediately on his arrival
at any japanese port. He is also charged
with robbing the natives of $50 yen.

His Body Perforated With Bullets
and Thrown by His ExecutfOners
Into shallow Hole.

who arrived here yesterday from Eoline.
brings the details Of the lynching of Will
Hill. one Of the two negro brothers who on
Monday, near that place. shot and killed
Mrs. Rufus Hubbard, the wife Of a prOmi-
nent planter and dangerously wounded
Hubbard and his child.
Hill was captured by posse Of fifty
men ten miles from Eoline at o'clock
yesterday morning. He was found con-
cealed under q bed In a negro cabin and
fought like a demon when dragged out.
He was quickly bound and strapped upon
the back of horse. The mob then took
a vote as to whether he should be lynched
or delivered to the officers Of the law. 1t
was unanimously decided TO take him be-
fore Hubbard, and if he identified him to
put the negro to death.
Hubbard's home was reached just after
daylight AS the mob approached they
heard Hubbard's four weeks old mother
less child, who was wounded when its
mother was shot. crying. and this threw
the members OF the posse into a frenzy.
There were cries OF Burn him." but the
leaders ccunseled moderation until Hill
had been identified. The negro was led
into the room where Hubbard lay suffer-
ing from two pistol-shot wounds which
the Hill brothers had inflicted.

is caught. The cause OF the murder was
a quarrel which Hubbard had with Alex
Hill because the latter refused to pay a
debt he owed by working on Hubbards S
farm Hubbard was sick in bed when the
negroes called at his house to renew the
quarrel. and WI en- Mrs. Hubbard appeared
at the door they sho; her dead, afterward

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind.

-vigor, and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or
diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for a child to be
born afflicted with weak kidneys. II the
child urinates too often, If the urine scalds
the flesh, or If. when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, and 1t is yet afflicted with bed
wetting. depend upon it, the cause OF the
difficulty Is kidney trouble. and the first
step should be toward the treatment OF
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition OF
the kidneys and bladder and not to habit
as most people suppose.
So we find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need tn same remedy
