INNOCENT MAN
Arrested, on Suspicion Of Having Muir
dered James d. Gosnell- Promptly
Released.

Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, November 8.
The $500 reward offered by the COM
missioners for the arrest of the assas-
sin Of James H. Gosnell has started a
number of officials and Hawkshaws to
ferret out the murderer. Everything
that looks like a clue is being run
down, and an arrest to-day agitated
the people OF Mt Pleasant and Smith
field townships considerably. Quincy
Cramblett, son of a farmer of Mt
Pleasant township, was taken to Mt
Pleasant by Constable McMaster, but
after thorough and rigid examination
was found to be entirely innocent.
Cramblett's arrest was caused by re-
port circulated that he had been court
ing GosnelPs daughter and the father
of the girl not desiring Cramblett to
visit his house, ordered him away, and
Cramblett, filled with hatred of the old
man. took this means of getting him
out of the way. Dr.. McGlenn and Con-
stable McMasters both examined Cram
blett, but it was found that he .4ad
been at his home the night of the as
sassination, his mother and father max
ing sworn statements to that effect.
Cramblett is thirty-two years OF age
and has always borne good reputa-
ton in the vicinity in which he lives.
The examination conducted by Dr.. Nc
Glenn was to ascertain if his shoulder
bore any marks that might have been
caused by the recoil of a gun heavily
loaded with slugs, but the Doctor found
no such marks After the examina
ton the young farmer returned home
with his parents, and the awful crime
is still enveloped in mystery with sus-
picion liable to rest upon almost any
person in the neighborhood.

NEW YORK, November 9.-The
Tribune's Paris correspondent writes:
"The Anglophobia epidemic raging
in the French press is daily becoming
more acute. The nationalists. Jew
batting Praetorian and clerical press
the same papers that constituted them
selves champions of the late general
staff during the Dreyfus affair-are
straining every nerve so to steer public
opinion as to arrive at war with Eng
land.
In reading the Patrie and the Croix
one might suppose that France and
England were already at war. The
editorial language and epithtets are
now more violent than anything that
appeared in either the American or
Spanish newspapers during the Span
ish war, and probably exceed in ma
lightly and abuse all past achieve
ments of the French press is CRITICS
ing the conduct of a nation with which
France is at peace.
Help the Beers and avenge Fash
oda,'' is the advice given by M. Mile
voye, who declares that the British
foreign effice has deliberately falsifed
all the dispatches from the seat of the
war, where in spite of all official ac-
counts, matters are going very badly
for England
Charles Laurent in leading article
in the Matin intimates that the battles
of Glencoe and Elandslaagte are in re-
atty victories for Beers NJ Laurent
writes: ''The present campaign marks
the end of Greater England. British
arms can never subjugate the Trans
vaal- The courage Of the Beers is con-
tagious. 1t will spread to Ireland, to
India, TO Australia Justice will finally
triumph on the other side Of the equa-
tor and the reign of Queen Victoria
will terminate in the bleeding fog
bank of defeat"
Insulting caricatures and cuts of
Queen Victoria appear in the Boule-
ward newspapers accompanied by libel
lous and indecent legends The Patrie
publishes almost every day extracts
from alleged conversations with Mr..
Chamberlain who is represented as de-
claring that it is the policy of the
British cabinet to suppress the Dutch
in South Africa and afterwards the
French in Canada and Mauritius"
The violence of the irrepressible ma
tionalist press causes no little uneasi-
ness at the Quai d'Orsay and also
among Frenchmen of evenly balanced
minds, who fear lest retribution may
come in shape which may affect the ex-
hibition of 1900 and injure the pockets
Of French tradesmen M. Yves Guyot

Bull is. after all, Frances best custo-
mer. The Figaro is beginning to take

A HAIR TONIC.

A splendid tonic for the hair is made
of glycerine. one ounce; eau de CO.
logne (stroGgesO, one-quarter pint;
liquor of ammonia (SSo-SS2), one fluid
dram; oil of origanum, oil of rosemary,
of each, one-half fluid dram; tincture
of cantharides, one fluid ounce Brisk
ly agitate them together for eight or
ten minutes, then add of camphor-
julep strongest, one-half pint.
Electricity, properly applied, will
often do wonders towards restoring
vitality to the hair. In the case of q
young girl who had lost her hair in
spots after an attack of typhoid fever,
hair specialist advised cropping and
electricity applied through good
sized sponge, three times a week, in
conjunction with the above wash. The
treatment resulted within three months
in a beautiful head of new hair. The
hair should be kept short for at least
year under the above or similar cir
eumstanees.

much he was benefited BY their use. Do
not confound Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with
any kind of kidney pills; they are not
pills. but Yellow Tablets, which is the
most scientific way of preparing medicine
