Proved His TheorY.

The late Hall McAllister some years
ago entertained visiting scientist at
the Union club, before it's amalgama-
ton with the Pacific, and during the
evening, particularly foggy one, made
some whimsical remark conveying the
idea that fog was an excellent conduc-
tor of sound. The scientist took ex-
ception to this novel theory and asked
Mr.. McAllister on what it was based.

served" returned the ready jurist. "On
an evening like this we hear the fog
horn quite distinctly, but when there is
no fog we cannot hear it at all."-San

Where WIN That Kentucky Trouble Endq

Where VIII That Kentucky Trouble End?
The Democrats and the Republicans
in Kentucky are for the first time since
the present political complications as
sumed acute form, divided into two
armed and organized factions. Sur
rounding the capitol and the state exc
cutive building and camped in the
grounds around Gov. Taylor's home are
nearly 200 state militia, well provided
with ammunition, while in the corri-
doris OF the Capitol hotel in which the
Democratic state executive officers are
located, and in the streets adjacent to
that building, are 60 special officers
and the men and boys of militia com
pany that was organized in Frankfort
as the nucleus of Gov. Beckham's state
guard, besides scores or more of heavily
armed citizens, partisans OF the Demo
cratic claimant Rumors reached the
Democratic leaders on the 18th that an
attempt was to be made by the state
militia to take Gov. Beckham into Gus
tody, and inside of an hour after the
report was circulated, a petition had
been circulated and signed by the re-
quisite number of men necessary to
form militia company. The men
will guard the Capitol hotel against
any possible attempt to arrest Gov.
Beckham. The Democratic partisans
state that should the militia attempt
to interfere with the session of the leg
islature, persistent rumors of which
have been in circulation, it will be next
impossible to avert bloodshed. The
Republican officials, however, deny
that such action has been even contem-
plated and that the Legislature will not
be molested in any way. That the re-
port is believed in Democratic circles,
however, is shown by the fact that the
advisability of holding the session in
some other place than the state house
has been under advisement and the
question has not been fully settled.

Military Scandal in Court.

The most unexpected and sensational
developments came up in connection
with the Marsh case which commenced
before Judge West in the Ingham cir
cult court on the 9th. 1t was well UNI
derstood that the attorneys for Gen.
Marsh intended to make a strenuous
fight to have the case continued until
the next term and they did so, occupy
ing nearly the entire day with their
arguments. They signally failed not
only TO secure continuance, but even
a postp0nement of the trial, and the
court ordered the case on call for the
next day. With his feeling wrought
up to the highest pitch, and maddcned
by the decision of the court against
him, Judge Speed, of Detroit, who APP
pcared as counsel for Marsh, dramat-
ically announced that he and his as
sociate, Mr.. Pope, would withdraw
from the case. Judge Wiest's denial
OF the request for n continuance was
based on the facts that Gen. White had
been fugitive from justice for 20 days,
and that as time goes on it lessons the
probability of experimenting him; that
the lost military records are not likely
TO be found; that he is not satisfied
that the elder Mr.. Marsh is too feeble
to attend court, etc, hence the appli-
cation for continuance was denied.

A pathetic appeal OF the committee
OF Africander and Bond members OF
parliament was issued at Cape Town,
Oct. 10, 1899, signed by Messrs. N. F..
DeWaal, Joseph N. Hoffman, j. II.
Hofmeyr, Thomas p. Theron and ID.
J. A. Van Zyl, which says among
other things:
What may, what can, we colonial
Africanders DO in this sorrowful time?
Join in the work OF warfare with the
weapons? The law and our duty as
British subjects forbid this, even
should other circumstances not oppose
such course of action.
But what neither the law nor the
duty of the subject forbids, and what,
moreover, agrees in every respect with
all principles of religion and human
ity, is the offering OF help to the
wounded, to the widows and the
orphans"
In the name OF the Africander bond,
on behalf Of the citizens of the South
African republic and their noble ally,
the Orange Free State, / appeal to all
Americans to show their sympathy
with he brave people who are now,
in the words of John Hancock, liter
ally Offering all that they have, all
that they are, and all that they hope
to be, upon the altar of their country,
fighting to the death the arrogance
and imposition of the great British
empire, in order to remain free and
independent, as did our American
forefathers in 1875 and 1912. THERE

The "wets.' WON ut the Polls.

Politics were practically forgotten in
the village elections on the 18th, and
where big vote was polled local is
sues alone were responsible. The tenn
perance question was the all-absorb-
ing one in many places and where the
line was strictly drawn the ''wets" had
a trifle the best of it. Worthwhile had
been all torn up for several weeks and
citizens were taken out of sick beds to
vote. The result was victory for the
hotel men. At Birmingham, Chesan-
ing, etc, the same issue was decided
in favor of the "wets." The "drys"
carried n few of the smaller villages
Three Oaks elected a patriot ticket
At Allegan, for the first time in several
years, not Republican was elected
In few scattering places the silver
ticket won out, but as a rule the finan-
cial question was not prominent.

England Got on Easy.

Clifford r. England, of Detroit, who
embezzled $4,000 from his employees,
the Warren-Scharff Asphalt Paving
Co., on Aug. 1, 1897, appeared in court
on the morning of the 18th, and changed
his plea of not guilty to guilty, and
was Immediately sentenced to four
years at hard labor at Ionia. The
maximum penalty for embezzlement is
fixed at five years, and in view of the
young mans previous good record, to-
gether with his confession the judge
showed a little leniency and cut the
sentence short one year. The sentence
brought disappointment to the hearts
of England's parents, as they had eX-
pected a much lighter punishment.

Horrible Mine Disaster.

The most disastrous mine explosion
ever known in the New River district
occurred at the Red Ash coal mine,
near Fire Creek, w Va, shortly after
the mines went TO work on the morn
ing of the 9th. Although the most
heroic work of the rescuing party con-
tinued necessarily all day, it was inn
possible to estimate the full extent of
the loss of life and property. The first
reports of the explosion were greatly
exaggerated, but it is now safe to say
80 miners were entombed.

President Kruger has sent a fervid

Lord was on their side. The president

Rabbits Afflicted with piphtherla.

A story has gone out from st. Joseph
that hundreds of wild rabbits through
out southwestern Michigan and north
ern Indiana are dying from a disease
which is puzzling the older hunters
and trappers. Many of the leading
hunters of that immediate vicinity are
of the opinion that the rabbits are suf-
fering from an epidemic of diphtheria.
A rabbit when found suffering with
the disease is swollen to twice the nat
ural size about the neck and from APP
pearances dies from strangulation, the
disease having produced a result idcn-
teal with that of diphtheria upon n
human being. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the disease was imported
through rabbits from Ohio.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought OF using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard Of appendicitis, ner-
vous prostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigssted food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.

lowing to the troubles in China, trade
with that country has greatly dimin-

have been discharged and one factory

tion in the articles for Chinese trade.
On the other hand, complaints come
from lines working on raw materials

handicapped trade.
