Her Adopted Daughter.

was adjudged insane by mar
shaTs jury. yesterday filed a petition in
the Supreme Court Of the District, ask
ing that the court make a decree set
ting aside the verdict of the jury. The
proceedings before the marshal's jury
were had on the petition of Mary A.

stated that Mrs. I<ickham is a widow,
ninety-six years old, was suffering from
senile debility and totally unfit to take
care of her estate or her person. Mrs.
Timer further stated that she had given
her foster parent such attention as she
was able, though handicapped on ac-
count of the illness of one of her chill
dren, who is Dedridden. 1t was also
stated that the income from Mrs Kick
hams estate is sufficient TO support her
during her life. The estate. which con-
sists of both real and personal property.

Mary A. Ulmer whom she adopted and
gave a home, has treated her in a cruel
and inhuman manner, and also stole
about 500 from her. In conclusion Mrs.
Kfckham declares that the sole object of
the proceedings instituted against her is
for the purpose OF getting possession of
her property. Mrs. Kickham is repre-
scented by Attorneys Downing & Kesne.

The hops used in Schlitz
beer are the best hops grown
in the world; most of them
are imported from the re-
nowned Saaz district in Boz
hernia. They are personally
selected at the hop-picking
season by one OF the owners
of our business.
Then we keep them in re-
frigerating rooms until they
are used. We preserve their
aroma, SO that they come to
with all the freshness
and virtue that they had on
the vines.
That's one reason why
Schlitz beer is SO palatable.
Every ingredient used in it
is the best that money can
buy.
But without purity that
expense would be folly. No
beer can be good unless it
is pure. To insure absolute
purity we largely increase
the necessary cost of our
brewing.

Milwaukee famous.

A FLOOD OF DENIALS.
Every body PrOclaims Innocence
of New Canal Scheme.

New York April "a special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Specific official denials greeted the
published report that ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, having discovered a. gold mine on
the Panama canal route, would head a
syndicate to build the canal and had Sc
cured President N1cKinley's cooperation
and the aid of Colombia. Denials came
from the White House. the state depart
ment, the Colombian legation and the
French embassy. Most of those who de-
MED the report declared that it was
started to make difficult the negotiation
of canal treaties by the United States.
The big news development in the canal
situation is that Minister Silva, who IS
also Colon b1an minister Of foreign al
fairs, in his memorandum to Secretary
Hay has formally agreed on behalf Of
his government to grant the United
States a long lease of the territory
through which the canal passes He
states emphatically, however that his
government would not be willing to con-
cede sovereignty. The lease is to be
granted on these terms:
The United States shall pay to Colon
bia in half yearly installments, during
the first 25 years after the opening of
the canal to the public service, a share
amounting to 5 per cent Of its gross in
come; during a second period of 25 years
6 per cent, during a third Z per cent, and
during a fourth per cent This is on
the basis Of a SO year lease. The United
States guarantees that this share shall
be in no case less than $3.50, 900 annual
ly.
In case Of the issuance Of stock, Co
lombia is to receive share, based upon
that given it by the Panama Canal COM
pany amounting to one-thirteenth of the
number of shares issued.
Colombia is to receive $3.50 900 annually
for the use of the railroad, Colon bian
mails. troops and effects belonging to the
republic. and enigrants to the country up
to the number of 2. GOO must receive railroad
transportation free Of charge.
Colombian vessels are to be allowed
freely to use the canal.
Finally. Colombia binds herself to grant
permission to the French canal company
to negotiate with the United States for
the sale of its concession. The concession
absolutely sorbids the company Ito cede
or mortgage its rights under any consid-
Grafton whatever to another nation or for
eign government under penalty Of for
feiture''
Mr.. Ford. the .engineer-secretary Of the
Colombian legation made a statement to-
day regarding the Panama canal laying
particular stress upon the fact that the
Panama canal is only affected by the
Clayton ulWer treaty insofar as its neu-
tra1fty is concerned. the United States be-
ing thus free TO complete It without VIC
lating the terms of the treaty.

government, who surrendered with
General Trias. They urged him to re

he will not rest easy until the catarrh is

thoroughly established Peruna will cure

cases where catarrh has attacked the
