With all of its ugliness and its hor-
rors war remains the finest and most
effective of theaters for the display of
heroism. Under no other circumstances
and with no other background do valor
and fidelity show so brilliantly to the
imagination and appeal so thrillingly
to the sympathies of the heart. An in
cident of the fight made by small
force of American and British marines
against the SamoanS who had en-
trapped them in an ambuscade on April
1 strildngly illustrates the fact, and the
story merits as many repetitions as it
is likely to receive.
When Lieutenant Freeman of the
royal navy was killed Lieutenant Lans-
dale of the United States navy took
command, and he in turn was soon
brought to the ground by ball which
shattered his leg. The next to take
charge of the detachment was Lieu
tenant Cave, who, perceiving that his
men were exposed to a calling fire and
that the ons effective weapon of his
force, Colt gun, was out of order and
could not be used, gave orders to re-
treat Five wounded men were carried
dale was left on the field with Free
man, the supposition being that both
were dead. One man, Seaman Hunt of
the British ship Porpoise, did not re-
treat with the others, but stayed with
Lansdale and defended the wounded
American until he himself was knocked
senseless by a blow on the head.
Hunt did not succeed in saving the
officer for whom he showed himself so
willing to give his life, but his action
was none the less meritorious because
it failed in its purpose. There is a
genuine heroism Of the highest kind in
that seaman who stayed to face the
savages in an effort to save an officer
not of his navy, nor of his nation The
scene of Hunts struggle with the horde
of infuriated Samoans over the body of
Lansdale would make a good picture;
even as the right telling of it would
make a good poem. 1t is gratifying to
know that he escaped alive. 1t is also
gratifying to remember he serves a ma
tion that never fails to reward such
service as he has rendered. His chance
of getting the coveted Victoria cross
and pension is so good that many an
officer in her Majesty's fleet would be
glad to change places with him when
the Porpoise goes home to report to the
widow of Windsor"

THAT TURKEY CASE.
Humane Officer Hea1y and the Tur'
kew Gunner Have a Suuahble.

Frank Byron was arraigned in the
City Justices Court yesterday on a
charge of cruelty to animals. Byron
had been arrested by Special Of1cer
Healy of the Humane Society, and the
complaint set forth that he had kept
number of turkeys in coop too
small for their comfort.
/ Byron entered a plea Of not guilty,
and requested Justice Anderson to
view the turkeys and the coop in which
they were kept, and then judge whether
or not they were crowded.
Justice Anderson. however. did not
want to see the turkeys, but suggested
that the arresting officer take a look
at it and report. The case was con-
tinued until Tuesday next.
Then Healy, Byron and ]. n. Payne,
another Humane Society officer, went
down stairs. and in just seven minutes
from the time they left the courtroom
they returned, and Healy was arrafgned
on a charge of disturbing Byron's
peace. The trial was short, sharp and
decisive, and in ten minutes after the
complaint was read Judge Anderson
declared Healy guilty and ordered him
to appear for sentence next Wednesday
morning.
From the evidence it appeared that
when the parties went down stairs the
turkeys had not yet arrived. and thai
Healy, calling to Byron, told him that
if the turkeys were brought and were
in the same condition as they were the
day before he would rearrest him.
Byron replied that the turkeys were
not overcrowded, and said that Healy
had not been close enough to the coop
to ascertain whether they were or not.
Whereupon Healy called Byron a
liar, and the latter retaliated by de-
manding a complaint charging him
with disturbing his peace. He made it

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Insta ntly Relieved and Permanently Cured
by Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent Medi-

A New Discovery, But Not a Patent Medi-
cine.
DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able case of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
He says: 1.-The patient was a man
who had suffered, to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
the stomach He had pains like rheu-
matism in the back, shoulder-blades
and limbs, fullness and distress after
eating. poor appetite and loss of flesh
the heart became affected, causing pal
pitation and sleeplessness at night.
Il gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
AS an experiment I finally bought a
50-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour,
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
gained between ten and twelve pounds
in weight Of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold In drug stores,
yet 1 consider them most valuable
addition to any physicians line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or in
valids or in any condition Of the stom-
ach with perfect safety, being harm
less and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliousness constipation and all
arrangements Of the stomach. however

shore, where they were found the
following morning. Both wer'

boat can be considered a wreck
nevertheless it will take a large
amount of overhauling to repair
them. The White Wings is the boa

And now the base ball season is
over and everyone must feel some
what relieved. Washburn has GER
talnly made splendid record, and
has defeated nearly everything that
has come along. There was one
notlcable feature, however, in last
sunday S game, and that was that
there appeared to be more or less
feeling between the partisans; where
DIS earlier in the season everyone
felt good naturcd over the games.
Washburn had Of course, ''scooped
everything around the country, and
bayfield, was particularly anxious to
win the last game. The rooters
came from Ashland and everywhere
else, and all were for the Bayfield,
boys. Washburn rather resented
some OF the things that were said,
and on the whole the game was
rather more noisy and mouthy than
might have been hoped for.
Circuit court is in session this
week, and quite a sprinking of
jurors, witnesses, etc. are on our
streets. Most of them don't like the
job, either, as they can figure up at
the end of each day that they are out
considerable financially. When the
board bills are settled, the ''inciden-
tails that don't come in regularly
at home are paid for, and things are
all squared up, the jurymen usually
have to draw on what they have
brought from home, to pay their
railroad fare out of town with.

| Judge Parish has been making
citizens innumerable during the
week, and the population of Ameri-
cans has consequently been GROWN
apace. The Judge never lets one of
these candidates for citizenship off
without making them understand
the difference between a monarchy
and a republic, and giving them a
schooling on the constitution of the
United States. The Judge not only
makes citizens, but he does his ut
most to make intelligent citizens as
we'll.
! If all things the "rooters" say at
base ball games were published they
might constitute quite a book on
slang. For instance, the other day,
/ at game the following were among
the philippics hurled at some of the
players Good eye there, my boy"
and ''you've got them Johnnie, aber
nit" and ''buy a ticket for that
fellow batting and he'll make home
rum and "we'll get photograph
of you making a home rum"
there's a hole in your bat-get a
board" ''give him pass and he'll
make base;" ooh there, now you
haye lost your chance to be pop
nlar," "you would make a better
farmer than Gardiner" good bye,
good bye, there you go, there you

rooters is played.
