or half caste Arab. The poison in
this case carries it's own antidote.
Those familiar with the details of the
expedition, know that the last time
Stanley saw Major Bartelott, he con-
ferred upon the latter the command
OF the rear column, a most important
charge, with explicit orders to gather
up the men promised by the Arab
slave driver, follow the trail made by
the advance column, and join that col,
umn as soon as possible Stanley
waited in vain for his rear column and
after many weary days and weeks of
anxiety, he himself returned to the
Aruwini river, found Bartelott dead
and his men on the verge of despair.
1t never has been explained why that
rear column was so long delayed
Stanley was charitable enough to say
nothing that would cast the shadow of
dishonor upon his dead officer but
there is a mystery about the failure
that perhaps will never be cleared up
entirely until Sir Henry Stanley him
self speaks and tells the truth which
the world will believe.

Companion Is Under Arrest
Charged With Crime.
LATTER is KNOWN HERE
His Evidence Sends an ottumwa Wo.
man to the Penitentiary for Six
Months-Was Robbed in Smoky
Row--Information Filed Today.

Bloomfield, Oct. 1s.-(Special.) y
AS a result of an alleged drunken
orgie, Lew McAvoy, a farmer living
three miles south of this city has had
an information filed against him
charging him with assault with intent
to commit murder. James McVey is
the prosecuting witness. Seventeen
bird shot have been taken from his
back and head. His injuries are no,
believed to be serious, but he had q
narrow escape from instant death
The information was issued this
morning, and Sheriff Young imme
diately left for McAvoy's farm to place
him under arrest. He will be brought
back to town, and will probably be
given hearing tomorrow.
Story of Shooting.
The alleged assault was committed
last Saturday evening about dark. II
is alleged that Lew McAvoy, James
McVey, Sampson McVey and Willis
Kennedy attended sale Saturday sew
eral miles from town, and that all four
of them became intoxicated. 1t is al
legged that they started home early in
the evening and drove into town. II
is claimed that they were all quarrel
ing but that they were so drung that
they could not make anyone under.
stand anything they said.
Upset Wagon.
1t is alleged that they finally drove
within short distance of McVey's
home, when the one who was driving,
drove the team out of the road and
upset the wagon into ditch. The
men all escaped injury but the over
turning of the wagon is alleged to
have made them all want to fight. 1t
is alleged that McAvoy secured shot
gun which was in the wagon, and
without any provocation whatever fir
ed at McVey. The aim was true, but
McVey was a little too far away for
the charge to take proper effect. AS
1t was McVey was carried into his
house and physician summoned and
seventeen bird shot were extracted
from his back and head. The physi-
clan announces that his wounds are
not serious and unless some un-

At first it was utterly impossible to
find out any of the details of the al.
legged assault and the authorities were
slow in taking action in the matter
AS time passed, however, more of the
details came to light, and this morn.
ing's action is the result.
Defendant Known in Ottumwa.

known in Ottumwa. 1t will be remem-
bered that he caused the arrest of
Henry Motto and Rose Kelley in that

LIBERTY NOT LICENSE.

Johann Most, the New York anarch-
istic editor of foreign birth, was on
Monday sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment for having published in
his vicious newspaper, Die Freiheit,'
few days previous to the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley an incen-
diary editorial entitled Murder ver-
sus Murder" 1t is apparent the
American people are learning the les
son to be derived from the. murder of
the beloved chief executive that free
dom of speech does not mean license
to advocate violence, nor freedom for
those with the ability to write or
speak to incense the ignorant unto
the attempt to ignore or throttle the
institutions society in its long expe-
rience has found necessary to pre-
serve life and property. Die Fret
heit" we believe is German term
meaning the journal of liberty. Evil
IDENTIFY in this land of liberty jury of
twelve of the common people, Herr
Most's peers, passing upon the policy
he advocated did not approve of his
ideas of freedom. Freedom to criti-
else officers of the state or federal
government, to call in question exist
ing laws or urge new ones, to COM
ment favorably or unfavorably on de-
cisions of our judges, does not mean
that one has likewise license to adj
wise bomb-throwing, murder of Off
GERS, nor disrespect of property
rights. The electrocution of Czolgosz,
the imprisonment of Herr Most, the
arrest of Emma Goldman and others
of the same class will teach radical
agitators of their ill1 that society will
curb their tongues and pens and deeds
if they have not common sense sufi-
cient for self-restraint. While the
penalties under our laws for indul-
gence in incendiary speech need to be
made much more severe, it will be
found that we already have on the
statute books provisions amply broad
and sufficient to clip the wings of
these hawks and buzzards.

THE, scHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY

Those interested land who was not)
in reading the newspaper accounts of
the naval battle of Santiago published
at the time will find an equal zest in
the testimony of Captain Cook, COM
mander of Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, during the engagement, as
lgiven before the court of inquiry Mon
day. Cook is one of the most impor-
tant witnesses in the long and impor.
tant trial, and while he was called by
the government at the close of it's
case his evidence was most favorable
to Admiral Schley. 1t clearly estab-
lished that the order for the famous
loop or circle in the movement made by
the Brooklyn in the early part of the
light was in response to the command
OF Cook and not of Schley. 1t was
claimed that Schley had ordered the
ship to make this circle in order to
avoid its being rammed by the enc
my, and that in describing it's COLI
sion with our ship, the Texas was
thereby made imminent and this was
the basis of one of the most important
OF the charges against Schley. Cook
has assumed the responsibility, per-
haps in chivalry, but shows that the
circle was described not to escape the
enemy but to close in on them and
prevent their passing through the
American line, and that the Brooklyn
did not endanger the Texas
Many people may think this naval
trial is a curious and useless proceed
ing inasmuch as it consumes so much
time, those taking part in it are men
of such high standing and national
prominence and its end is not to fine
or imprison anybody nor to get mon
ey verdict. The value of the inquiry
will be solely in the study it makes
of the engagement; if the decision is
favorable to Schley it clears his repu-
tation for the pages of history in all
ages to come. Whether favorable or
unfavorable to him the evidence pro-
duced before the court and the deci-
sion of that body will form the basis
of study for future generations of ma
val students and will determine for
them the proper maneuyers to make
in many naval battles yet to be
fought. @

THE sCHLEY INQUIRY.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-While the en-

for the purpose of correcting his for
mer testimony, he was INTERCEPTED
by Lemley concerning conversation
between Sigsbee and Schley, over.
heard by the witness when Sigsbee
came aboard the Brooklyn off Santa
ga, May 26.
Lemley asked:
May not Sigsbee have said, I have
been here about week and have not
seen anything of Them or words to
that effect, meaning the Spanish
fleet"
mo, sir, as l remember it, he said,
They could not be here unless knew

Lieutenant Commander Nicholson,
navigator of the Oregon, was then

from the deck of the Oregon. He said
there was no question but that the

The witness could not say positive
ly he had seen the Brooklyn make the
turn but had seen it change position.
He had never seen the Brooklyn and
the Texas when they were closer to-
gether than a mile or mile and a
half. He did not remember any sig
nal from the Brooklyn to the Oregon
to use her thirteen-inch guns on the
Colon. The Oregon had used her
thirteen inch guns early In the action
but stopped during the chase of the
Colon as that vessel was SO far away
that to use them would have been a
waste of ammunition. He thought
the Oregon was nearer during the
chase than the Brooklyn, but the dis
lance varied somewhat. At one time
the Brooklyn had apparently turned
to head off the turn of the Colon to-
ward Cape Cruz during the early part
of the engagement, but he had seen

Republican PIuraIities in Is

In none OF the states carried by Mr..
Mckinley last year have the democrats
any hope of succeeding this year, save
in Maryland where Mr.. German is a
candidate for the senate, and is max
ing a strenuous effort to carry the leg
islature. Nebraska does not enter into
the calculation, for in that state, al
most alone, the opposition is still pop
ulistic or fusion rather than democrat
ic.
In general, it may be said, in the par
lance of the politicians, that this is
mot a democratic year." The country
is still extraordinarily prosperous The
shock of President Mckinley assassin
alton gives to his party a strong senti
mental advantage. President Roose.

as to win the confidence, at least ten

On the other hand, the democrats
are without trusted national leader
and are not united upon any distinctive

possible that new lines of division may
be marked by the action of congress or
the course of the administration, but
at present and for the pending cleo.

own way.
