Owing to the serious developments
in China, President Mckinley has
returned to Washington. 1t is
still contended that theU nitedStates
is not at war with China, and no
extra session of Congress will be
held. 1t is stated that a declaration
of war would prevent the obtaining
of satisfaction for the outrage, and
that technically the United States
and China are at peace. A special
Cabinet meeting negatived a pro-
position for an international council
TO secure uniformity of action
on the ground that the United
States should not be bound or re.
stricted. 1t has been decided,
however, to send more troops, but
not over 5000, if that many, can be
spared. There arc now 10, 665 of
ficers and men detailed for Chinese
service, including those on the
ground.

OK the End of August, in addi-
tion to the regular county election,
at which a sheriff and trustee and
justices of the peace, constables,

regulations by which the above
mentioned primary is to be govern

remained in custody of the officer
until the next morning, when he
was taken to Memphis. The arrest
was made on instruction from the
chief of Police of Memphis. While
here Casselberry declined to discuss
the matter. He denies that he
ran away from Memphis and claims
that he came out to Hardeman
County to visit his aged mother,
who is i'll.
The grand jury returned two in
dictments. The other charges
against him will be Investigated
later on. Judge Cooper after hear
ing the facts fixed his bond at $4,000.
1t was made by Senator Turley and
Duncan Martin signing same and
the prisoner was released.
The seal above mentioned, alleg-
ed to have been forged, was found
in Casselberry's pocket by Marshal
Reynolds and turned over by him to
the Shelby authorities.
Only few years ago, jeff Cassel-
berry was one of the most promising
young men in Hardeman County.
He was principal of the Bolivar
Graded High School, Superintendent
of Public Instruction, represented
the county in the legislature and
later, after moving to Memphis rep
resented this floterial district in the
Legislature. He has relatives and
many friends in Hardeman County
who will read the above with sorrow
and who hope that he may be able
to establish his innocence.

Eighth District Candidates.

Paris, July 1.-THE canvass
for the Democratic nomination for
Congress in the Eighth District was
opened yesterday at Paris, the can
didates, State Senator r. p. Cole
of Paris, former Congressman 3. A.
Enloe of Jackson, Hon. J. Nj.
Trout of Jackson, and Congress-
man Z. w. Sims of Linden speak
ing in the order named, to about
400 people in the Circuit Court
room. The candidates placed
themselves upon the Kansas City
platform, but the discussion was
chiefly personal, relating to the pub
lie record of each. The fight, it is
considered, is between Enloe and
Sims in the district, and the former
seemed the common target for the
others. The vote in Henry Coun-
ty will be divided.

Attitude of the United States a
Matter of Official Criticism

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
Grave apprehension is expressed in
official circles that Germany is rushing
INTO war with China. Kaiser Wilhelm
mas given unmistakeable evidence OF
mis- purpose to retard settlement OF
the trouble by strongly reinforcing his
feet and army in the Far East and In
the proposals which he has submitted
TO the powers. It is further known at
the department. of state that the attl-
tude of the United States is matter OF
official criticism in Germany and it is
unlikely that the Berlin government
will be willing to aocede to any sug-
gestion which this government may
make unless forced to do so by pressure
applied from other powers.
In view Of the near prospect that the
United States will enter preliminary
negotiations with Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang for peace, sincere regret
is expressed that Germany's represen-
tatives should report conditions to
necessitate further military operations

A Historic Die.

On the desk Of the secretary of one
of the oldest copper manufacturing
firms in this city is steel die which
has served as paperweight for 80
years, and the coins struck off by it are
now, for the most part, in the hands of
collectors. This die was used for strik-
ing copper tokens which symbolized
the contest between President Andrew
Jackson and the old United States bank
of Philadelphia in 1892 The engraving
on the die represents President Jack
son, sword in hand and apparently
standing in a money chest. Around the
central figure is stamped Jackson's .ex-
preston, II take the responsibility"
which arose out of his controversies
with the bank.
When this die was made, the prede
cessors of the present company not
only manufactured copper wire, but
also made a special feature of copper
coins, chiefly for South American couu-
tries and for private business firms
which made a practice of issuing their
own copper coins to be redeemed by
them afterward During the civil war
and just preceding it many private cor
porations issued tokens which circu-
lated as pennies, and some Of them are
now worth a great many times their
original value to co1lectors.-NeW York

Bilge Water.

l am quite well aware that there are
objections to hospital ships in the trop-
les. When they are moored, there is
the burning question Of bilge water,
1 will not discourse on the subject Of
bilge water, as ineXperience thereof
might make the explanation weari-
some. Any one acquainted with the
bilge water question knows it is of en-
crossing interest. Bilge is a prince
fallen under it's power you will always
think that every terrific thing in smells
is manifestation of bilge water.
I remember on one occasion when on
board moored hulk, not hospital
ship, smelling in the evening some
thing that called for mention, so 1
mentioned it. "Oh," said my COM
panions, more under the sway Of bilge
water than l was, from their greater
knowledge of it's power, cts only our
bilge water" In the morning we found
it was the rotting carcass Of an ele-
>phant that had foated down the river
and now hung in the mooring chain.
After considerable time was spent
in getting rid Of the carcass l said,
'For goodness sake, gentlemen, stir
up your bilge water, and let the smells
fight it out together while we go
ashore for SPELL" ''No," said my
companions, terror stricken at the sug-
gestion. "You do not know our bilge
water when it's backs up. 1t would
stretch you if you were half way
across Africa. This elephant is mere
lavender water to it."
This was more dreadful bilge water
than hospital ship would have. Still,
though bad, bilge water is not neces-
sarily fatal under proper management.

UNJUST CRITICISM.

Foreign Press Laboring Under a Misap-
prehension of Facts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The state
department has been advised by Sheng,
the taotai Of Shanghai, of the appoint.
ment of Prince Tuan, the former heir
apparent of China, as grand secretary
to the emperor. He says nothing Of
the reported designation of Tuan as
president or member of the privy
council, but it is believed here that it
is entirely according to Chinese forms
for prince Of Tuan g rank to fill both
posts simultaneously. The tone Of the
foreign press comment respecting
Tuan's appointment has gone far to
convince the officials here that the
course Of the United States in this
matter is being criticized upon an en-
tire misrepresentation of the facts.
Thus, for instance, it has been asserted
with great energy in some Of the
continental papers that the course Of
the United States in rejecting the Ger
man proposition relative to the sur
render of Chinese officials, directly in

to be grand secretary, in defiance Of

records of the state department. show
that Tuan's appointment was publicly
announced Sept. %, having occurred
several days previously. On the other
hand the state department. did not
make public it's answer to the China
note until Sept. 70, and it could not
have been received in China and partic.
ularly at the imperial court in the inte-
rior, for at least one or two days there
after. In the opinion Of the officials
this is convincing evidence that the &C
ton of the United States government
in this particular case did not influence
the appointment Of Tuan. The state
has not as yet been &C
quainted with the character Of the re-
ply to be made by Great Britain to the
German note, but confidence is felt
that it will, like this governments re-
ply, except to the leading feature of

Paid His Debt.

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons, he was anxious to
try his oratorieal powers. A certain
leading politician, who was plotting a
bill through the house, was approached
by one Of Mr. Chamberlain's friends,
who said:
Chamberlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can you give him a chance?
"Well, you know, think it would

body knows what the dickens he might

Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground became a power in parlia-
ment. The leading politician, on the
contrary, had made series of blunders
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent Forgetting his
previous record, he thought that if he
could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak for
him he would strengthen his position.
He, therefore, applied to the right hon

Governor Roosevelt Has Little Excite
ment at Victor, Colo.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Sept. 28.-
Governor Roosevelt had a most excit-
ing experience at Victor, few miles
from Cripple Creek, among the mines,
where demonstrative crowd had as.
sembled. The governor had narrow
escape from serious personal violence.
The incident was the only one of the
kind that has occurred during the prog.
ress of the trip and it is said that the
trouble was occasioned by small body
OF roughs who had been organized and
paid for the purpose of breaking up the
meeting. The men engaged were few
in number, but very violent in their
attack.
Governor Roosevelt spoke at Larimer
hall, which was filed. He had hardly
begun speaking when he was inter.
rupted by noisy demonstrations He
succeeded in finishing his remarks,
though there was an evident intention
among those present that he should not
dose. When the governor left the hall

rush was then made for the rough
riders. The men on foot, clothed in
khaki, closed in around the governor,
forming. wedge, and succeeded in
reaching the train, closely pressed by
the mob. There were from 1000 to 8, 900
in the mob, and fissticuffs were freely
exchanged. Many Of the mob were
armed with clubs and sticks, many
with rotten potatoes, stale eggs and
lemons. The party, however, reached
the train without injury, and it pulled
out with the rough riders on the rear
platform.

the incident, and was ready to proceed |

What Not to Say.

Do not say, 81 cant eat" Take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and say, | am
hungry all the time, and food never
hurts me"
Never say to your friends that you
are as tired in the morning as at
night. If they happen to be sharp
they will tell you Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures that tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face is full OF
pimples." You are quite likely to be
told by some one, "There's no need
of that, for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures
pimples."
It is improper and unnecessary to
say, "My health is poor and my blood
is bad" Hoods Sarsaparilla will
give you good blood, and good health
viii follow as a natural consequence.
