Taylor Has Not rIade Known His
Future Plans Suspicious

ported at Morganto6n that w. S.
Taylor is planning to go to London,
where he might be safe from arrest
should an indictment be returned
against him by the grand jury
which will be empaneled here to-
day. He has sold all his property
at Morgantown and has sent an
agent through the county collecting
notes. His strongest friends are
being summoned to Morgantown
from all parts of the county, but for

"Tallow Dick Combs has decided
to have the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings at Beattyville dismissed
to-day, and he will be brought to
Frankfort on the warrant charging
completely in the Goebel assassina-
tion. Beattyville has been the
scene of numerous false alarms.
One was that Gov. Beckham had
sent force of militia to take Combs
by force. An extra guard was
placed about the Jail, and the guard
later INDUCED in free fight. The
sheriff was asked to swear in a
large force of deputies, but refused.
The alarmist stories circulated in
Indianapolis as a result of the
presence there of ex-Secretary of
State Finley have beer exploded.
Finley is believed to be in hiding
there, where he is safe until an i'm
ldictment is returned, but diligent
search fails to find either a Ken
tucky Republican seeking to advise
him or to escape justice with him,
or single Democrat, who accord
ing to the stories, was to take the
Jail by storm and abduct Finley.
Finley is at the Plaza Hotel, and
in an interview he is quoted as say
ing that he was on the point of sur
rendering when he learned of the
arrest of Powers and Davis. and,
having private business to trans
act, concluded he could attend to it
better at Indianapolis than in acel
in the Frankfort Jail.
Judge Cantrill will charge the
grand jury at Frankfort to-day

spiracy. Culton and Golden are
expected 10 be the star witnesses
before the grand jury. 1t is re-

SIXTH ARREST IN
The CADDy CASE
Half Dozen Witnesses in the Recent
Black Hills Trial Charged
With Perjury.
LEASING OF SISSETON RESERVE
Attorney General Holds That IL Is

Land Department - Gem
eral State News.

Deadwood, S. d., April 0.-The sixth
man has been arrested and lodged in
the county Jail for perjury in the Cad
dy case. His name is Charles Haley
and he is a porter in the Derby saloon.
He was greatly excited when brought
before the states attorney and il is
said that he made a confession Of a
number of important facts about the
Caddy case, which are very sensation
al. IL is now believed that all the men
held for perjury will be found guilty
and that they will get a sentence.
Herbert Caddy, who was sentenced
to twenty years in the state peniten.
tiary for robbery, has been given thir-
~ days in which to carry up his case
to the supreme court. He has an uncle
i'm Denver, named DIR. Rogers, who is
backing the case. When Caddy heard
his sentence he showed no emotion
whatever. His young wife and little
child have been constant attendants
at court during the long trial. The
people of this city and OF Lead are
pleased at the way this CASE has been
handled. Judge Moore has been deal.

Cross Eyes May BE Cured.

Strabismus or "cross eyes," are now
safely and almost painlessly corrected.
The desired result may be obtained by
the wearing of proper spectacles in
early youth; but, according TO the Phil
adelphia Record, If the evil is not then
corrected, an operation later on will be
necessary.
The removal Of a cataract" from the
eve is one Of the most delicate opera
lions performed by the oculist. A cat
aract Is formed by the lens Of the eye
becoming opaque, so as to appear gray
ish or otherwise, when it shuts out the
light from the optic nerve. The oculist
of to-day cuts into the ball OF the eye
and removes the darkened lens, and
the optician supplies the defect by arti-
fetal lenses that make good the sight.
The demand for glass eyes is increasing
as the character and quality Of the eyes
improve. Un7ightly eyeballs are now
removed in part, leaving enough of the
muscles to rotate the glass she'll that is
placed over them. Where the work is
properly done the possessor of the glass
eye can move it about with all the nat
uraluess of a real optic, and in many
cases it is very difficult to tell the man
ufactured article from the genuine. All
the wild stories about substituting rab-
bits eyes for human eyes, or the state
ments to the effect that oculists can
take eyes from their sockets, wipe them
on n coarse towel and restore them I'M
impaired to the happy patient, are all
moonshine, and any one who is called
upon to listen TO such tales is perfectly
justified if under such circumstances he
should wink the other eye.

sc Kind TO Your stomach.

In this connection l recall a remark
recently made by a New. York physi-
clan after reading Of the death of a
young woman in Brooklyn in conse-
luence of eating two quarts and a pint
Of peanuts in three days. Says the doc
tor:
"Such statements make me lose faith
in all mankind. The peanut is a very
appetizing thing and if eaten in mod.
Grafton aud we'll masticated will do
no harm to a person with a fairly good
digestion, but to think of eating more
than two quarts of them! Think of put
ting such a terrible load on the human
stomach just to crafty the appetite.
"If the young woman had eaten a lit
tie salt with the nuts the probabilities
are that the progress OF digestion would
have gone on and her stomach would
not have clogged. But no one should
permit a fancy for any particular kind
OF food to overcome the dictates of COM
mon prudence. Always remember that
your stomach is your best friend. and
treat it as such. If you don't you will
surely be reminded of every act of IN
kindness"
The human stomach is a mass OF
muscle and fiber which seems to be
specially constructed to meet the in.
firmities and weaknesses of our appe.
tites. 1t is like a piece of india rubber
but there are limits to its endurance, al
every dyspeptic knows and as every
one who abuses it will discover in due
time and very often too late.-M Y

MILLION DOLLAR MUSIC.
Grand Opera Costs the Manage
ment $3.50 per Week.

hiN"t PhcSoOO pSh
"The expenses of an opera company
like that which Mr.. Grau manages
average from $4,000 to $45 5000 a week,
or about 81, 200, 900 a season." writes
Gustaye Kobbe in Ainslee's for March.
How greatly the principal singers
figure in the expense list may be
Judged from the statement that
their guarantees amount to about one
half, or $500, 000. Quoting the eXac
figures from last Seanson'S balance
sheet, il is found that prima donnas
received $216, 500, and the principal
men singers $316, 900, a total of $685.
500. Is it policy to pay such high sal
aries? The question is answered by
the statement made to me by Mr..
Grau that the performances which
cost him most pay him best. The pub
lie knows when it is getting a great
cast, and is willing to put out money
to hear it. 1t may nave cost over $1O,-
900 to raise the curtain on the seven
dollar performance of Les Hugue-
nots' with Melba, Nordica, jean,
'Edouard,' Lasalle and Maurel. But
the public paid nearly $4,000 TO hear
It.. The record performance of last
season was the closing one, at which
the boxes were not controlled by the
stockholders. There was $1S,500 in the
house.
Speaking of the boxes, it is an in
teresting fact that the ownership of a
box in the Metropolitan opera house
has proved itself a profitable invest
ment. The p%arterre boxes which are
held by the stockholders represent
$35, 900 in stock. One of the boxes be-
longing an estate could recently have
been sold for 1000; but the estate
preferred to keep it. The value of a
parterre box is 800 n night, and the
stockholders pay half this amount to
the Maurice Grau Opera company.
There have been two instances this
season of the letting of stakeholder
boxes for $4,000 for the season. This
is certainly paying high for the priv
ilege Of sitting within the charmed
circle of the 'glittering horseshoe"

LEASING OF RESERVATION.
Attorney Generals Opinion Gives
Land Department Control.

Land Department Control.
Pierre, S. d., April 0.-The question
of rental of the old Sisseton military
reservation has been one which has
caused veNation TO every governor OF
the state since il was donated 10 the
state. Governor Sheldon was accused
Of allowing favorites to use it without
compensation to the state, and Gov
ernor Lee has been bothered with at
tempting to keep the buildings in re-
pair without AN appropriation for the
purpose. This year Adiutant General
Humphrey took il upon himself to
look after the property and found a
party who was willing 10 pay a good
lease price for the tract on "A term
lease, and who would give n bond to
keep the buildings i'm repair, dcvoting
"A portion of the lease price to that
purpose. Such n lease was submitted
to the governor for his approval, and
by him submitted to the attorney
general for an opinion ms to his pow
crs. The attorney general in his opin-
ion holds that the tract is wholly un-
der control of the state land depart
ment, and that department is the
proper one to care for ii. This opin-
ion will relieve the governor from the
bother of the tract, and place il in the
department, which is best able to care
for IT,.
The state land department has re-
ceived from the general land office
patents for 1903 acres of public lands
i'm the Huron land district, being in
Faulk, Potter, Hand and Hyde coun-
ties.
