Schley-Sampson =
Controversy.

WAsHlEGToN, Aug. 27-Some sensa.
tonal discoveries in connection with the
Navy Departments fight on Admiral
Schley have been made in the last day
or two, and the prophecy heretofore
made that the trial would prove an in
QUESTION for the department is now be-
come a certainty.
Official documents having direct bearing
upon the case have been mutilated, tele-
grams have been destroyed, and records
kept at the time of the Santiago fight
have been so changed that the men who
wrote them would not recognize them.
And all the changes made, the mutt
lations and removals have been OF such
things ~ we're 10 the credit OF Schley
or the diseredit OF Sampson. Here are
some samples;
In the log Of the gunboat When, as
written by Lieutenant Harlow on the
spot, Admiral Schley's bravery was
praised and the Brooklyn was referred
10 as the vessel nearest the Spanish
squadron.
In the log OF the gunboat Vicken, as
edited by the Navy Department, Ad-
miral Schley was all but ignored, and
Sampson was brought into the fray al
most an hour before he arrived
The all-important telegram, as sent
by Admiral schley, reads:
"Much to he regretted, orders OF de-
partment cannot be obeyed. Have
striven earnestly"
The telegram, as it appears in the
Navy Department files, reads;
much to be regretted. Cannot obey
orders Of department.
The message from Sampson TO the de-
partment that Schley had been ordered
TO Santiago ia as follows:
kEY WEST, Fla, May q, 1898
To the Secretary OF the Navy, Wash
ington. Schley has been ordered to
Santiago de Cuba. SAMPSON
1t will be noted that this message
does not state when Schley was ordered
TO Santiago. and makes no reference to
any preceding message between Samp-
son and the department. The fact is
the department ordered Sampson on
May ~, two days before, to send schley
to Santiago, instead OF which Sampson
sent Schley an order telling him to use
his option in the matter.
Lieutenant Iiodgson. whose testimony
was to show that Schley said, 'Damn
the Texas let her take care OF herself,
will not be called as Sampson witness,
IL is now stated, as it has been discov-
cred that he will not testify as the de-
partment had hoped.
1t may be definitely stated, in fact,
that the attorneys for Schley have got.

The people OF Tucson were shocked
this morning by the information that
filtered through the streets at an early
hour that b. I. Jossey had killed him
self.
Mr.. Jossey resided on West Franklin
street. and retired to bed at the usual
hour last night. He was aware that the
deputy United States marshal held a
warrant for his arrest. but in conversa-
ton with friends he did not seem to
treat the charges made against him SER
iousIy.
Under the circumstances it was but
natural that the first report to gain cur-
rency was that he committed suicide,
but coroner's jury after carefully ex.
aiming the ground, and taking testi-
mony, rendered verdict that his death
was cansed by accident.
II seems, according to the evidence at
the inquest and the statements OF the
family. that for some nights past, the
hen. house at the rear, OF Mr.. Jossey .
house had been raided by skunk. The
night before last Mr.. Jossey made
vain effort 10 shoot the prowling animal,
but could not get sight of him. Yes
terday evening he trampled down the
weeds near the hen-house, so that he
conld sec the skunk approach.
Last night MIR. Jossey and his wife
slept in screened porch in rear OF the
house. About o'clock Mrs. Jossey.
being annoyed by the barking OF dog,
went inside the house TO sleep. Miss
Jossey slept in the house, and MIR. Herb
ert Johnson occupied room adjacent
to the screened porch, with door open
ing on the yard.
Soon after Mrs. Jossey went inside
the honse, Mr.. Joascy, il Ia presumed,
heard commotion in the hen house,
and taking folding shut gun, loaded
with bird shot that stood in the porch,
proceeded in the direction OF the hen
house with the hope. il is believed, OF
getting shot at the maTsudiug skunk.
Soon, perhaps abont $50, Mrs. jersey
heard the report Of a shot She asked
"iiI you get him?" and in reply heard
a groan from her husband. Fastening
to him, she found him prostrate with
blood oozing from his breast. The
charge had entered the breast juet be-

Our own Wild West Show.

The Boughner- Williams PettIgrew
Wild Wost Show gave an exhibition
here last Saturday on their show
grounds in the rear of Christ church.
The feature of the engagement was
the skilled performance of the Bough-
ner pony which is highly educated in
bucking and bronco featS. Mr.CharleS
Pettigrew, the crack air-ritle shot Of
the world, interested the large number
of enraptured spectators. Tho Will
liams Brothers in knife and larlat
throwing showed themselves candi-
ates for positions with Buffalo Bill.
The exhibition closed with highly
exciting hippodrome races, under the
expert man 4gement Of Charley Bough-
ner. The show was commercially
conspicuous for the absence of shell
games. The company will make an
all summer stand here, as they find
the patronage all they could desire.

The Sampson, schley controversy has become

the court of inquiry Schley has asked for on ac
count of an alleged malicious attack upon him by
one named Maclay, who processes to be a naval
historian. Both Sampson and Schley are brave
officers and merit honor and reward, and the public
knows them as such. That is about far as public
interest goes and all will be glad when it ends, but
some will not even then abide by the results of the
results of the inquiry. 1t is unfortunate that they
who were in command should receive all laudation
and the men who did the fighting none. But such
is the hero worship of the world. Station governs
prominence in the public eye and leaders or com
manders receive particular praise, while the men
who won their battles CALAMITY get mention which
is so general that they soon forgotten and the
glory of the victory is overshadowed by the halo of
idolatry surrounding the commanders We trust
the inquiry will be fair and impartial and that it
will close the incident for all time.

The lynching at Elkins may have temporary
salutary effect in that immediate neighborhood
and act as brake upon the lawlessness that has
been INDUCED in there, but that it was good thing
or proper, no one will attempt to assert. From
the ghoulish gee INDUCED in by the participants,
if reports are true, it is quite apparent that the
deed served to demoralize men and women there
and gave them a lesson in crime, which will cling
to them to such an extent that the sghtest viola

THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which aff1ict their delicate or
ganism spring from Inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-ua will cure YOU.
