The little town Of LeGrand was At
'forded quite a little excitement Tues
day on account Of the strange actions
Of Mr.. James Barclay. well known
business man and proprietor Of the
towns barber shop. Mr.. Barclays
marriage was to have occurred this
evening at State Center, where he was
to take as his wife Miss Nellie Richie
son, doughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. c.
Richeson, and well known here. Mr..
Barclays actions became known to d
few of his friends when 1t was learned
that he had attempted to sell his shop
to Mr.. Arnold, saying that something
terrible had happened. and stated that
If he couldn't dispose of his shop he
would lock it up and leave it. This he
did and went to Tama. A number of
the business men feared that Mr.. Bar
clay's mind was temporarily unbal-
anced, and took the next train to-
Tama where they found him. He was.
brought back to LeGrand and placed
under the care of physician until
early this morning, when he took q
train for State Center to join his bride
to be, who was awaiting his arrival.
Arrangements for the wedding, when
the condition of the groom elect was
known at State Center, were temporar-
lily abandoned and relatives here were
SO notified. This afternoon, however. 1t
is thought that Mr.. Barclays condition
is such that the ceremony can proceed
as announced.
Mr.. Barclay is an excellent young
man and his temporary alteration y

nervousness. Altho some have att
tempted to make the affair seem one
of great mystery. it is thought by those
who know him that his actions were
due entirely to a slight mentSi trouble.

1t was evident at the meeting Tuesday
night, from the conversation and man

board is aroused and ready to grapple
with the situation and control it. The
number of cases in the city at present,
While not beyond absolute control, is
Sufficiently alarming to call for prompt
action and strict enforcement OF the
rules OF the board of health, and no one
who realizes the temper of the board
could doubt its desire and ability to
meet the situation.
The result OF the meeting was virtual

to the senate's resolution of inquiry the
secretary Of the navy today sent TO the
senate copy of Admiral DeWeyS re-
port from Hong Kong, dated March 81,
1898, relative to the capture OF Manila
The text of the report shows that 1t
was made in response to telegram OF
inquiry from the secretary, and the ad-
mral gives in detail the names or the
available vessels under his command
and also the list of Spanish vessels ana
other means of defense at Manila lie
stated that his own squadron was in a
high state of efficiency. Speaking OF the
Spanish forces he said they numbered
about 1900 soldiers of all arms in all
the islands, of which half are in the vi
cinity of Manila. The islands are now
in a state of instruction, and my IN
formants state that even the spanish
soldiers, who constitute only a small
part of the whole, are disaffected Both
ships and forts are in need OF ammunl-
ton
To this statement he added the follow-
ing:
ct beiieve I am not overconfident In
stating that with the squadron now I'M
der my command the vessels could be
taken and the defer res at Manila re-
duced In one day. I" There is every
reason to believe that with Manila taken
or even blockaded, the rest OF the ISL

Organized labor has reached such
stage that anything affecting particu-
lar branch of it draws all the rest into
the difficulty.
1t is exactly the same way with the
different organs of the human body.
Work too hard, eat too much, drink too
much, exercise but little, be little ir-
regular in any way, and the liver quits
work.
Then the bowels become constipated
and the stomach goes on strike. The
heart is affected, the brain follows suit.
and every part in the body is dragged
into the trouble.
The only way out of 1t is to go at the
self with the liver and all will get back
to regular natural work.
Cascarets Candy Cathartic make things
right with the liver. They perfume the
