YOutsey's Counsel AlIege That he
is Not Physically Able to Stand
Trial.
GEORGETOWN, Ky, August 20.-The
defense to-day filed a, motion for con-
tinuance until the October term in the
case of Henry Youtsey, the young audi
tors stenographer, who is indicated as
one of the principals in the Goebel muir
der. The motion is based on the illness
of the defendant, supported by the affi-
davits of two physicians; on the illness
of his attorneys and also on the absence
of a large number of important witnesses.
An affidavit was also filed by his consel
stating that subpoenas has been issued
and returned unserved in the cases of q
number who were desired as witnesses,
makes affidavit as to what he expects to
prove by them By Ex-Governor w. S.
Taylor, Charles Finley, w. ]. Davidson
and r. N. Miller all of whom are out of
the State, he says he will prove that he
was in the executive office on January
q with a gun solely for the purpose of
protecting the building and occupants
from expected riot. He says that Taylor
and Miller will testify that upon entering
the executive office Immediately after the
shooting Youtsey did not say that Goebel
had been killed, but that he did not know
what had happened; that Charles Farley
will testify that there was but one key to
the Secretary of States office; that Mrs
c. e. Mason will testify that she saw the
defendant walk up the steps to the east
door of the executive building so soon
after the shooting that he could not have
engaged in it; that Ex-Governor Bradley
will say that he never talked with w. H.
Culton or anybody else regarding a rurnor
that Youtsey contemplated killing Goebel.
The court did not pass directly upon
the motion for a continuance but said
that only one of the grounds set I'D in the
enidavit was to be considered, that of the
illness of the defendant. He therefore
postponed the trial until next Thursday
morning, by which time it would be de-
termined whether Youtsey will be able to
stand trial. During the sparrfng before
the counsel over the matter, Col. l.. j.
Crawford, Youtsey's half-brother and
leading counsel made the statement that
he believes it possible to get all the alb
sent witnesses here in October including
Ex-Governor Taylor Charles Finley and
R. N Miller. The venire of jurymen was
then called.

The Alpha Camp.

From latest reports from the Alpha
fishing camp they are having a grand
old time at their camp at Postum
Rifle. On last Saturday they had a
field of athletic sport. Little Abe came
out victorious in two events, but got
unruly owing to a decision of the
referee and tried to clean out the camp,
but was placed in the guard house after
some trouble ON the part of the provost
guard. Hustler Chas. Driehorst has a
funny story told on him by Corporal
BUGGY, who claims that the hustler
went hunting ground hogs and ran
into nest of pole cats and had to send
to camp for a change of clothes. The
Alphas are having a good time and
want all their friends to visit them on
Sunday next.

DEATH CINE SUDDENLY
TO MILES JOYCE WHILE HE WAS
WALKING II H r. o U G III NORTH
WHEELING HOSPITAL YARD.
Was Returning From Visit to His
Sick Brother-Passed Away Be-
fore Medical Aid Could be Rem
dered-His Home in Randolph
Ccunty-A Sad Case.

Miles Joyce, whose home is in Ran
dolph county, died suddenly in the
yard of the North Wheeling hospital
yesterday afternoon about three O'Clock
While he was returning from a visit
to his brother, who has been confined
to the hospital, suffering from typhoid
fever for the past several days.
Mr.. Joyce was lately in the employ
of Pittsburg firm and came here about
two weeks ago owing to his brothers
illness. He called regularly at the
hospital since then and yesterday aft
ernoon, after spending while in the
patients room, left the building, ap-
parently in good health. However.
while he was walking from the front
entrance toward the gate he suddenly
fell to the ground. Several persons who
were near ran to his assistance and
notified those in charge of the institu-
ton. Two or three physicians were
summoned, but Mr.. Joyce passed away
before medical aid could be rendered.
On examination it was found that death
was due to heart disease.
His remains were taken to Schroed-
er's undertaking establishment on the
South Side, where Coroner Schultze
held an inquest last evening and rem
dered verdict in accordance with the
facts. The deceased's relatives living
in Randolph county were notified and
will arrive in the city this afternoon
at four o'clock to take charge of the
body.
Mr.. Joyce was about thirty years Of
age and was unmarried. He was quite
well known in his home county and had
a host of friends who will learn Of
his demise with a profound sense of
regret.
His brother, who has been i'll at the
hospital, is convalescent, but is still
very weak and the sad news will there
fore be withheld from him until he
has fully recovered. The case is very
sorrowful one and the sympathy of
the community will be extended to the
bereaved family.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Disesting Element Left O.

The DiSesting Element Left Out,
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t eff
lects the bowels because white bread
~ nearly all starch, and starch is di-
Gested in the intestineS, not in the
stomach proper. Up under the shell
of the wheat berry, Nature has provld-
ed curious deposit which is turned in
to diastase when it is subjected to the
saliva and to the pancreatic juices in
the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digestor is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis per-
itonitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist. when we go so contrary
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use, in their expert
ments, of the entire wheat and bar
Ivy, iutluuluS dll lu0 parts, ana SUD-
jected them to moisture, and long
continued warmth, which allows time
and the proper conditions for devel-
oping the distaste, outside of the hui
man body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape sugar in a perfectly
natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore is ma
turally predigested and its use in place
of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks, and the discontinue
ance of ordinary white bread. is very
marked The user will gain rapidly i'm
strength and physical and mental
health.

RUSSIAN ATROCITIES
Alleged to Have Been Committed at
.Tien Tsin, Positively Denied.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The diplo-
mats connected with the Russian en-
bassy have been annoyed by constant
reports attributing atrocity to the Rus
sian troops in China. One of the most
notable instances was an alleged inter-
view with Mrs. Anna Drew, wife of
Mr.. E. B. Drew, the chief secretary
OF Sir Robert Hart. As a refutation
of the sentiments put in her mouth,
Mrs. Drew has addressed the following
letter from Chicago, under date of Au-
gust IA, to the Russian ambassador.
After the usual opening phrases she
says:
We have been living at Tien Tsin
the past year, and | returned from
there only last week. Our steamer was
besieged with newspaper reporters
upon our arrival at San Francisco, and
although l was extremely careful in
what | said to them, a great many
strange things have been put into my
mouth by some disagreeable people.
The worst of all was an article which
attributed to me the most horrible
story Of the atrocities committed blythe
Russian soldiers. | wish to deny these
statements in full and as the account
has been copied in many Eastern pa
pers, it has perhaps come to your no
tice I feel that l at least must tell
you how false it all is. In fact, I can,
from my own experience during those
terrible days of the siege of Tien Tsin,
speak only in the highest terms of
praise or the Russian soldiers, who I'M
doubtedly save our lives on more than
one occasion"
In giving this letter out for publica-
ton the Russian embassy wishes it I'M
derstood that lite Importance is at
tHibuted to the effect OF the stories
rejecting upon the Russian troops.
Were it not that the lady concerned
is DESTROYS of correcting the false Te-
ports no notice would be taken Of
them, as the facts themselves are the
best refutation Of the sensational can
ards published, with the obvious pur-
pose of prejudicing the American press
and people against the Russians

JAPANESE CALAMITY
'The Subject of Respect and Wonder
Among british OFFICERS

Among British Officers.
LONDON, August 20.-Military men
here are much impressed by the ac-
counts of the extraordinary gallantry
and efficiency displayed by the Japa-
nese troops, though it does not surprise
those who had opportunities of seeing
their behavior during the last war with
China. A British naval officer who was
attached to the Japanese headuuarteres
during that campaign said that for
combined steadiness and dash he
thought the japanese We're equal to
the best regiments of any European
army. In the present brief operations
they have already covered themselves
with honor. At the battie of Pei-Tsang
the manner in which the japanese cav
airy charged straight at a Chinese bat
terry and sabred the gunners is describ-
ed as magnificent. Their fault is that
they are too impetuous and lose men
through their reckless courage. but in
this war, as in their previous conflict
with China, they have shown that no
bravery troops and more enduring SOL
diers can be found in the ranks of the
European armies.

LONDON, August q, 1855 a. M
Owing, probably to the Picking wire
being out, little news of conditions in
the Chinese capital has come through
this morning.
What has reached London indicates
that the allies are in need of reinforce
ments
The commander of the Italian second
class cruiser Fieramosca telegraphs
from Taku, according to the Rome cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, that very
urgent requests were coming from Pc
king on Saturday for the immediate
dispatch of further troops, and that,
in answer. four hundred Italian ma
rines were sent off post haste.
The Japanese minister in London is
said to have received a telegram last
evening announcing that subsequent to
the entry into Pekin a Japanese de-
tachment went to the Imperial palace
to afford whatever protection was nee
essary. The enemy were in strength
and fighting was still proceeding when
the message was sent to Toxic.
The main body of the Japanese was
then at An-Ting- Men gate, the Tartar
City, with headquarters at the Japanese
legation.
Reports of the presence Of Empress
Dowager are still contradictory, but
Gen. Yung Lu, on the authority of the
Shanghai correspondent of the Standard
is definitely announced to be a pris-
oner by orders of the Empress in the
imperial palace. This perhaps" says
the correspondent, sis a good thing as
detention in the capitol will enable him
to negotiate with the allies command
er which he would do as Prince Tuan's
enemy"
The Chinese minister in London, Sir
Chih Chen Lofeng Duh, on being asked
as to the whereabouts of the Emperor
and Empress Dowager, replied:
"They have gone westward to the old
capital, Hsian Flu, and I think they are
quite safe there"
Serious trouble is now threatened in
the neighborhood of Canton. The
Americans at Satow, according to the
Daily Chronicles Shanghai correspon-
dent, have applied for warship in con-
sequence of serious rioting and the
Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily
Mail says that warship is on the
way there now.
Queen Victoria has sent the following
dispatch to the commandant of ma
pines at Picking:
81 thank God that you and those I'M
der your command have been rescued
from your perilous situation. With
my people l have waited with the deep
est anxiety for good news of your
safety and the happy termination of
your heroic and prolonged defence. 1
grieve for the losses and sufferings ex-
perienced by the besieged."
A Japanese warship has left YoIo-
hama for Shanghai according to the
Daily Mail, to land troops and to pro-
tect Japanese subjects. The Daily Nail
also announces that Germany will land
a detachment at Shanghai. Further
Yokohama advices to the same paper
declare that Germany and Russia are
objects of distrust to the Japanese
press, which urges that Japan having
borne the chief burden of operations,
