MASO QUITS CONTEST.
Abnndons His Candidacy for the
Presidency of the Cuban
RepubIic,

Havana, Dec. 23.-The supporters of
Gen. Maso in his candidacy for the
presidency of the republic have de-
cided to take no part in the coming
elections, fixed for December 81. All
the candidates of the party have with
drawn, and the Maso members of the
provincial boards have been requested
to resign. These steps were decided
upon after the receipt of letter from
Gov. Gen. Wood, refusing to grant the
party representation on the board of
scrutiny or an extension of time in
which to modify the voting list.
At a meeting of the party leaders
a resolution was adopted declaring
that "the central board is a coalition
of partisans and that Gen. Maso, after
exhausting every means to insure i'm.
partiality, rectitude and justice at the
coming elections, has become con.
vinced that neither in official circles
in the United States nor in Cuba does
the intention exist to see that the
elections are carried out with suffi.
cient legality to reflect the real wish
of the Cubans, who are desirous of in.
dependence and anxious to freely elect
their first constitutional government" )"
1t was voted to inform Secretary Root
of the decision arrived at and also to
publish manifesto to the country.

FOUND GUILTY.
Alexander Sullivan Convicted of Con-
spirncy in His Trial at Chicn-
EO-Is Fined $4,000.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Alexander Sulli-
van was declared Sunday to be guilty
of conspiring with others to remove
former Bailiff JamesJ. Lynch, indicted
jury briber, from the reach of justice.
The jury in Judge Smiths court fixed
his punishment at fine of $4,000, the
maximum fine provided by the statute.
The verdict carries no penitentiary
sentence. Immediately upon the read
ing of the jury's finding Mr.. Sullivan's
attorneys moved for new trial, and
in the event that this is denied they
will appeal the case to the appellate
court. Even though the verdict should
be set aside and a second trial should
result differently for the defendant,
there is another and even more gall
ing penalty to which he probably will
be forced to submit. There is a strong
movement toward his disbarment from
the courts. and members of the Bar
association expect that such action will
be speedily taken.
tThe conviction of Mr.. Sullivan is the
elimination of three years work on the
part of States Attorney Deneen and his
assistants. They began In December, 1898.

bribing was said TO have been practiced.
Five hundred Jurors were examined, the
investigation being pushed day and night.
After Lynch was indicted and fled the in
quiry was dropped until his return to Chi
cago, when he made the sensational dis
closures which led TO the Sullivan trial.
Lynch was for IL years a bailiff In the
courts, and by his recent confession was a
jury briber. The case in which he was ex-
posed was pernonal injury suit against
the West Chicago Stree Railway company.
Sullivan was attorney for the company.
Lynch approached a juror. who informed
the court. This was on October 49, 1898.
lynch was indicted and released on bonds.
Sullivan, 1t is said, feared he would be i'm
plicated in the case, and persuaded Lynch
to go to Canada. There the bailiff re-
mained until few months ago. He said
he had been bribing juries at the sugges-
tion of Sullivan, and received therefor the

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(BenSons Plaster is Pains MaSter)

From the natural impulse to put some
thing on" n painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as q curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with Others Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffty,fUe highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States ON the receipt of 25c. each.

In those old times when human in
dustries were not even in their infancy
for they had not yet been born except
so far as regards the pursuit of agricul-
ture, and even this was of the mereSt
bCginning-the sheep was the principal
support of the human race, says The
Sheep Breeder. 1t furnished clothing,
meat, milk, butter and cheese, for then
the COW was not used for the dairy.
When young David took those cheeses
and loaves and butter to his brothers
when they were fighting the Philistines
and the giant Goliath was the champion
of the enemy, he carried the products
of the flock and not of the herd, and
the sheep was the chief dairy animal
for ages down to quite modern historic
al times. The lambs were largely used
for food and for sacrifices, and the
ewes then were MIXED to supply the
domestic demands. And this fact may
be turned to good use even in our mod
ern focks. For when lamb is lost by
any accident, the eve may just as well
he MIXED, as indeed at times it is nee
essary to save her from serious harm
by overstocking the udder. 1t is neces-
sary anyhow that she be relieved for
some days, gradually drying her, and
the milk will be very desirable addi-
ton to the rangers breakfast of black
coffee and hard tack. Indeed it may be
given if not taken in this way to some
superior ram lamb, which by double
feeding may be made show lamb and
at maturity become very valuable
stock animal. 1t is better to feed one
lamb on two ewes than to put two
lambs on one eve.
