IN TIE POLICE COURT
Thomas L. Jones, a C0l8red Law

saIutary Effect of Ruling by Judge
Scott-More Difference She Nn by
Imposed on Prisoners Accused of
yagrancy-Other Cases eft Interest.

The usual monotony Of the proceedings
in the lower branch of the Police Court was
disturbed this morning when Thomas L.
Jones, colored attorney, refused to obey
an order of Judge Scott and was adjudged
in contempt of court and ordered to pay
fine of So. Even after the fine had been
imposed. Jones continued his disorder and
was auieted only when Judge Scott. threat
ened Jail sentence. When he did become
quiet Jones abandoned the case he was
defending and left the courtroom
The action of Judge Scott had a saIutaTy
effect, not only on Jones, but OF other
attorneys about the court, and the
result was that a Difference which has long
been conspicuous by its absence was shown
during the rest of the proceedings So
marked was the Difference shown that it
excited considerable comment Of a COM
mandatory nature The consensus Of opin-
ion among the better class of attorneys and
the court attaches was that Judge Scott
had at last struck a blow toward eradieat-
ing an evil that has long existed without
much restraint
The imposing Of a fine on Jones was the
result of question put to a witness by the
attorney and to which he insisted on hav-
ing an answer after Judge Scott had de-
The question was asked of Policeman YAM

James Anderson, Moxie Reed, and George
Ray, all colored. Green, Carter, and An

Reed and Ray were accused of disorderIy
conduct Policeman Steinbroke appeared
as the officer IN the case, and Jones rsp-

Policeman Steihbroke testified to the char

During the cross-exanination OF vanhorn

Experiments ON Man.


The British Medical journal of July g. 1897
contains an account of the experiments performed
by Italian physician residing at Montevideo,
in South America, in the noculating human sub
iects with the virus of yellow fever. The expert
ments are thus described by TIE performer. Ny

the liver the headache, the backache. the lnda'u-
nation OF the kidneys, the jaundiee the deiiyuIH,
the dnaI collapse
The subjects OF the experiments, the account
states were obtained from the bazaretto on
Flores Island, near Montevideo, and also from tie
hospital of San Sebastion. Apparently they we're
newly srriYed emigIants from Europe.
When it is remembered that these experiments
represent merely a few of the cases revealed by
the indscretion of the experimenter, and that, as
a s1iie, the experimental on human beings is dis
creetly silent about his performances, certainly IN
England and apparently also in America, we begin
to understand the direction in which the current
OF scientific curiosity is carrying the most nod

sion. The cases discovered meress rIppies on

BROTHER IN HENHousE.
Minister Discovers Member of His
EIocL Abstracting Chickens.


HAMPSTEAD, Nd, Aug. 3.-Rev. S. J.
Derr. the Lutheran minister at Hampstead,
Carroll county, had a novel experience
few nights ago. He had returned home
from attending to some parochial duties
and was putting up his horse, when a
noise occasioned by the fiuttering and
cackling of chickens in his henhouse caused
him to direct his attention to that quarter.
As he approached he saw lame white boy
whom he knew limp away from the hen
. house and scamper off noiselessly. The
minister with equal caution and discretion
silently took the place the boy had been
occupying at the haIf-open door of the
hen-house and waited. In a few seconds
pair OF bullets was handed out, then an
other pair, and another, until he was mold
ing a half dozen of his OWL chickens, when
the party inside was bestowfng WIN very
free hand
The minister concluded that half dozen
chickens were quite as many as he could
conveniently hold so he said: Il think
have enough for this time The remark
brought the party inside to the front in
precipitate haste, when, to his great sur
Prise the minister recognized member OF
his own congregation, a brother who bore
a fair reputation for piety. It would re-
QiIfe a ReOu Qeat CT reputation, however,
for any brother to stand up straight in
such a predicament. The minister mildly
chided him for disturbing the slumbers of
the fowls babe him return those OF which
he was the receiver to the roost, and told
him TO go home and pray for forgiveness.
1t is thought, however. that this will not
be the end of the adventure Many things
in and about the village have been missed
Other people have lost chickens. This par
ticuIar henroost brother is reported to have
sold as many as seventy spring chickens in
one day, though he was not raising them
on his own premises Some neighbGFs'
cows have been going. dry uRaccouEtably,
until the owners put them up at night,
when they became fresh again. These pet
" depredations have been going on for 4
long time with great industry and to sum
extent that the villagers began to suspte Ct
that they were the work of organized dep
redators. The discovery OF the brother OF
the heuFoost It is thought, uncovers not
the Niger. IN the wootipiie,' . but a white
man who has been assuming that role.

A Fleet In One Ship
From the Youths Communion.

1t is doubtful if all the vessels
which piled regularly between
America and Europe before the day
of steamships could have carried at
a lading much greater quantity of
merchandise than can be loaded up
on single ship which was recently
launched for the trans atlantic traf-
fc. The new German steamship,
Deutschland, sixteen thousand tons,
is in herself quite the equivalent in
carrying power to whole fleet of
vessels of eighty years ago.
This remarkable vessel now marks
the maximum in the competition be-
tween the trans atlantic lines to pro-
duce the greatest and most success
full ships. She is the rival of the
Oceanic, launched last year at Bel
fast; and while her gross tonnage is
slightly less than that of the Oceanic
and her length but foot and hall
more, her indicated horsepower i:
considerably greater, and her speed
is expected to reach twenty-three
knots an hour.
Year by year the great trans-at.
lantic fleet expands and becomes
more wonderful. 1t flies the flag ot
Britain, of Germany, of France, oi
Holland. of Norway, and only to a
limited extent that of the United
States. Of all the vast fleet of pas
senger steamers regularly plying be-
tween the United States and Europe,
but two were built in this country.
The question, "Why is this so3''
can hardly be asked too often in
our legislative halls.

100000 DEATHSI
FROM CHOLERA DURING THE
PAST YEAR.
The Germs of this Fatal Disease are
Lurking Everywherel Thou
sands of Dollars Saved by
This Wonderful
Discovery.

Hundreds of thousands Of dollars have been
lost in the poultry business on account OF the
devastation among the Aocks caused by cholera
roup, cape and other fatal diseases. There have
been many remedies advanced, but none seems
to be so successful as the American Poultry
Mixture. This will cure chickens in tho last
stage Of cholera and roup, and is excellent for
gapes. Do your fowls suffer from violent diar-
rhoea, dropping OF the wings, stupor or exces-
sive thirsti These are the first symptoms OF
cholera. Cholera is a germ disease and being
infectious spreads rapidly through the entire
flock. Take time by the forelock don't stop to
experiment with unreliable or untried reme-
dies Use this mixture at once and the sani-
tary measures they recommend in connection.
Don't give the fowls up. Cholera is terrible
disease but this remedy cures it every time.
1t is also guaranteed for roup, which can be
told by hoarse breathing, swelled eyes, dis
charge at the nostrils, resembling catarrh.
Fifty dollars is ouereu for any case one MIA
ture will not cure If some of your fowls are
diseased it will prevent the rest from catchinR
it. Try IT. 1t is cheap, reliable and effective; a
scientific preparation, goes more than three
times as far as any other remedy; does more
good than all of them combined. 1t is used
and indorsed by the most experienced and
all parts of the world The manufacturers
guarantee every package orrefund purchase
money. If your druggist don't sell American
Poultry Mixture, he's behind the age In that
case send 81 90 for sample box to American

we might suggest that Farrelly is the
brightest man, in our opinion, among
the fusion forces in that district. 1t
is true that as senator he had to
line up good many times against the
Populist side of the senate, but it is
because he was too level headed man
and too good lawye er to endorse the
foolish and impracticable schemes
proposed by some of the Populist SEN
ators. He pointed out the defects in
the court of visitation bill and warned
the senators that it would not stand
the test of the courts, but they would
not heed his warning. He did the
right thing and the honest thing, but
we expect to see him turned down in
the convention on account of it.
They don't seem to be looking for
that sort of man.--Mail and

THE Republican Central Com
mittee of Neosho county met at
Erie last Monday and agreed to call
a convention to meet at Erie. Mon
day, March IL, for the purpose OF
naming delegates to the coming
state convention and likewise dele
gates to the congressional conven-
ton. to meet at Chanute March 2S.
The official call with the apportion-
ment of delegates appears in anoth-
er column. There was full at
tendance of the committee and
quite a number of the active Repub-
licans of the county not on the
committee were to be seen on the
streets and in the committee room.
There being vacancy on the COM
mittee from the Second ward OF
Chanute, by virtue of the
death of Mr.. Ashcraft, Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Farmer of that
ward asked that Elmer Ashcraft be
appointed to fill the vacancy, which
was done by unanimous vote.
The committee was very harmon
ious and sanguine in the belief that
by concerted, harmonious action
this fall we can carry not only this
county but the senatorial and con-
gressional districts as well.
