MRS. CARNE NATION SET FREE.
The County Attorney Says That Her Mind
Is Much Impaired.

Wichita, Kan, January 1S.-The
county attorney dismissed the charge
against Mrs. Carrie Nation. He says:
while intemperance is no excuse for
crime, the mind of the defendant is
much impaired, and she labors under
the delusion to such an extent as to be
irresponsible. Further, the confinement
in Jail would not Improve her condition
of mind"

CONSIDERING THE TREATY.
Washington, January 1S.-A dispatch
from London, dated yesterday, says:
There is authority for the statement
that Lord Pauncefote informed the
Washington government months ago
that England would not object either
to Notifications along the waterway or
the suspension of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty. The secretary Of state author
ICES the statement that he never re-
ceived any such assurance from Lord
Pauncefote or any one else.
THE TREATY DISCUSSED.
London, January 1S-The amended
Hay-Pauncefote treaty was discussed
at a protracted cabinet conference to-
day. The secretary of state for foreign
affairs, the Marquis of Lansdowne,
probably will embody the result Of the

terview with the United States ambas-
sador on Monday. The impression ex-
lists that the cabinet confined itself to
Lord Lansdowne to have fur
ther conference with Choate, the lines
of which, naturally, are not given out.

JUDGE FoRRlos BULLFleHTs.
Temporary Restraining Order is Is
sued at South Omaha.

OMAHA. Neb.. July 6.-Upon the
application of Alfred Sutton and vari
GUS South Omaha clergymen. District
Judge Fawcett has granted temper
airy restraining order forbidding the
contemplated bullfights which were
to be held here.
The Humane Society takes no fur
ther interest in the affair since the
promoters of the affair have assured
it that the bulls shall come to no bod
lily harm. though human life will no
doubt be jeopardized The society
evidently thinks that human beings
are competent to take care of them
selves. The appeal of the clergymen
is based upon the statute forbidding
wanton cruelty to animals. They also
believe the exhibition will injure the
moral well-being of the city.
The South Omaha street fair man
aeement has erected a large amphithe-
atre and advertises two bull fights to
take place during the coming street
fair. 1t guarantees that the bulls
will not be injured. but promises that
the human performers will execute all
the various feats with the red sash
and the vaulting pole.

brought to the surface. where the
shells are opened and carefully exam

quality, beautiful IN lustre and run
from white to yellow; occasionally a
