In a Marines Diary.

Richard Dudley. retired Sergeant of
tae Marine Corps, met death by asphyXia-
ton at his home in Washington, Jan. %
The deceased was about 60 years old, and
was an Englishman by birth, although he
came to this country when he was quite
young and spent the best years of his life
in the army and Marine Corps of his
adopted country.
Dudley had written of many interesting
historical events in his diary, which he
kept during his entire service. One en-
try concerned the arrest of William NJ.
Tweed, better known as Boss, Tweed
The entry, which was made while Dud-
ley was on the U. $. S. Franklin, reads
as follows:
I'VE left Villefranchc Sept. II. 1876,
homeward bound. Arrived at Gibraltar
Sept. 49, coaled, and received n telegram
from the Department to delay departure
On the 21st received dispatch from the
Minister at Madrid to proceed to VigO for
the purpose of taking on board William
NJ. Tweed, of Tammany notoriety. Tweed
had escaped from prison in New York
and reached Santiago, in Cuba. The po-
lice got clew to his whereabouts and
communicated with the Captain-General,
who was too late in making an attempt
to secure him. He, however, found that
Tweed had taken passage on Spanish
ship called the Carmen, and communicated
with the Government at Madrid, which
gave orders to look out for the Carmen.
There being over II ships of that name on
the Spanish shipping list this WAS Il mat
Ter of some difficulty.
THE Spanish police requested photo
praCh of Tweed, but there being none at
hand they were furnished with copies of a
caricature representing Tweed beating
child. This was taken from Harpcr's
Weekly. The Spanish translated the pic
ture in the wrong sense, as they construed
Tweed to be n kidnaper, which is con-
sidered in Spain to be n most infamous
crime. The police kept a bright lookout
for William NJ, and gobbled him when the
Carmen got into Yigo. He was then con
fined 70, security on an island called st.
on which stands the fort in which
he was placed.
I'VE left Gibraltar for Vigo on Sept. %
arriving there on Sept. PC. The Carmen
was in port. The guarda costa told me
hat Tweed was in his bare feet washing
down decks, dressed in Il coarse suit of
sailor clothes. He was confined in n large
fort overlooking the city. His cell floor
was sanded, and he was kept in his bare
'eet to prevent him attempting to escape.
Shortly after our arrival n Spanish
Government boat came along with Tweed'S
baggage. At 10 o'clock mt night Tweed
'ame on board with Hunter, his nephew.
de was confined in the Admral's cabin,
With a sentry inside. During his stay on
,oard he occupied his time playing cards. |
md wrote good deal. He is temperate
md does not smoke. A bottle of wine |
asted him n couple of days. He took |
,reat interest in the newspapers, and used |
o send round for all the papers that were |
o be had in the ships"

Birds Compete in Song.

Nightingale competitive concerts are
held every year during April in various
cities in Japan.
The main feature Of this quaint rec
reation is to bring together tame night
ingales Of melodious voice, according
to the accepted standard Of connois-
seurs, and to let each of these nightin-
gales sing in turn. By this singing the
value Of the songsters as to their mu-
steal talent is determined. The method
adopted in collecting the concert ex-
penses is peculiar, for the amount lev
led on the owners Of the songsters is
greater as their exhibits get higher
grade.
According to the Japan Times, this
refined competition is more popular in
Nagasaki than anywhere else in Japan,
and that consequently the best song
sters command an extraordinary price
in that city, as much as 1000 yen a
bird. In Tokyo they can hardly fetch
more than 300 yen.

The usual midsummer dizziness was de-
cidedly in evidence in the stock market
last week. Even the continuation Of the
steel strike, after it was generally be-
lieved that it was to be amicably settled,
had but little effect. Big New York
financial interests bought up steel securi-
ties on all declines. checking possible
slumps and stiffening the market through
the firmness in the support given. The
activity in Shelby Steel Tube and its
close relationship to the United States
Steel Company leaves no doubt that the
proposed union of the two will be mutual
ly advantageous when it is consummated.
Heavy rains in the West and South
west broke the drought in the corn belt
and relieved in a large measure the fear
of a serious failure in crops.
Money for commercial and manufacture
ing uses has been firm at AZ to 5 per
cent, and the indications are that it will
continue so until the exact amount Of
money necessary for the movement OF
crops is known. The supply Of CONNER
cial paper on the market is considerable,
but not so large as it has been OF late.
Country bankers are buyers Of paper
in Chicago despite the commencement of
the movement Of crops. The decrease of
about $1,000,000 in the legal reserve Of
the New York banks. as shown by Satur-
days statement, was disappointing, as q
good-sized increase was looked for. 1t
will have little effect on money rates,
however, as the surplus, despite the de-
crease, is still over 500, 100000, and there
has been big slackening up of the
money demand for speculative purposes.
General trade conditions have been
good If settlement of the steel strike
and the reopening OF the mills and plants
now idle could have been secured the con-
ditions would have remained good and
there would have been even greater COM
mercial activity throughout the country.
The effect Of the strike upon trade, if
long continued, cannot fail to be felt in
many directions.

BEATS GIRL FOR BEST LAND.
J. r. Woods Chooses $4,000 Site
Fronting ON Town of Lawton, o. I.

When the Lawton, O. T., land office
opened for the first filings of the lucky
land claimants, j. r. Woods, who held
ticket No. /, and Miss Matte II. Beals,
ticket No. ,, stood side by side. Woods
was entitled to first choice of all the land
thrown open to settlement. He filed on
the entire northern half Of the half see
ton Immediately south OF the town site
of Lawton, one mile long by a quarter
of mile wide, instead of the square
quarter section at the east end.
This shut Miss Beals out from getting
land adjoining the town site. She filed
OH the south half of the same mile strip
Sentiment is divided on Woods action.
Lawyers of both claimants met in a tent
in Mccoy avenue to represent their eli
ents and the story spread rapidly among
the boomers and settlers. Public SYM
pathy was with the woman and Woods
received public excoration that was as
exact, emphatic and profane as miXeI
Western assembly could make it. The
story at first seemed unreasonable.
When james d. Mcclure, receiver for
the land office, heard of the effort of
Woods to gobble up the tOwnste front
he expressed himself in language which
could not me misinterpreted. The law
does not contemplate any such sharp
practices,' said he, "and, n0twithstand
ing the construction of lawyers, | will
not enter such Il claim. | have not talk
ed the matter over with Maj. Mcknight,
the register, but | am confident he will
agree with us. But even If he does not
| shall protest. In that event the whole
matter will be passed up to the Interior
Department. If Mr.. Woods does not
take one of the natural subdivisions made
by the government he will have to get
instructions from some higher authority
of the department than the officials of the
Lawton land office"
Woods quarter section is rated at So,
900. He must pay the government only
$1.25 an acre. amounting for the 100
acres to 5000. The first town lot sold
for $500. Five thousand people arrived
Monday night, making a population OF
about 10000 in the new city of Lawton.
Murder and riot were rampant. James
G.. Rogers Of Braman, 0. r., was shot
to death by highwaymen just east of the
tent city. He was hit twice and died in
st. Joseph's hospital tent. Two men or
dcred him to hold up his hands. He re-
fused and was killed. Forty men have
been robbed by road agents on the trail
between Rush Springs and Lawton with

Evidence Presented Against the Ac-

A great mass Of afIidavits made by per-
sons who allegc that they know the hab-
its of Judge E. w. Harvey was present
cd at Butte, Mont, in an effort by the
Amalgamated Copper Company to prove
that the judge decided the big Minnie
Healy mine case in favor of e. Augustus
Heinze because Mrs. Ada H. Brackett,
woman i'll tho employ of the Hcinze
people, influenced him TO do so.
The chief evidence is furnished by Miss
f. l.. Walters and J. w. Waters, who
had been on intimate terms Of friendship
with both Judge Harvey and Mrs. Brack-
EFT. Both evidently made conidants OF
Miss Walters and Mr.. Waters. The par
ties were guests at the Butte Hotel be-
fore and subsequent to the trial of the
Minnie Healy case and about that time
Judge Harvey gave his decision by which
he gave a $1O,0OO,0OO property to Heinze
upon the payment by him Of S54,O 900 to
the Amalgamated company's representa-
tive in the ease.
Miss Walters aud Mr., Waters testified
that Mrs Bracket told them repeatedly
that she was in the employ OF Heinze and
John McGinnis, Heinze's chief manager,
and that McGinnis had promised her
100000 and had employed her to take
care of Judge Harvey and do other Sc

All over this country are hundreds OF pec~

stomach who are wasting precious time
and enduring needless suffering. The RENE
dies they try only temporarily palIiate tho
distress, but never effect cure. Remedies
for dyspepsia have multiplied SO rapidly
that they are becoming as numerous as the
leaves Of the forest, and yet dyspepsia Goa
tinues to flourish in spite Of them all. TNtR
Is due to the fact that the cause Of dySpepGie
Is not recognized as catarrh.
If there Is a remedy in the whole range
of medical preparations that is In every par
ticular adapted to dyspepsia, that remedy
Is Peruna. This remedy Is wei. nigh inviE-
chile in these cases.
DR.. Hartman, President Of the HGrtmaR
Sanitarium, Columbus, O., says:
'In my large practice and correspondents
I have yet to learn Of single case Of atoEiC
dyspepsia which has not either been greatly
beenfited or cured by Peruna."
No one suffering with catarrh of the Etam-
ach or dyspepsia, however slight, can be welt

tressing symptoms that 1t Is a most dreaded
disease. Peruna acts Immediately oa the

If you do not derive prompt and sattsfac-

at once to DR.. Hartman, giving full state

give you his valuable advice gratis.
