President Castro, of Venezuela,
Aids RevOIutiOnists
In Colombia With Gunboats
and Men.
A NEW REVOLUTION
For Venezuela is Being Ar

The Political Situation Is Pro-
nOnnced Extremely Serious.

New York, Aug. 23.-President Castro

Eight hundred men are in the expedi-
tions
These troops will assist the Colombian
revOlutionists under General Tribe
Tribe. President Castro has also sent a
good supply of ammunition.
News from Venezuela confirms the
reports that the republic is absolutely
quiet, notwithstanding fear of a gem
eral uprising on the Colombian from
tier, due to the proclamation of Presi-
dent Castro that Venezuela was being
attacked by the Conservative govern
ment of Colombia
There is excellent authority for the
statement that a new Venezuelan rev.
olution led by Liberals is being ar
ranged. The leader of this revolution
is now in New York
The political situation in Venezuela
is more than serious. No one is allow

premises, the others having been forci-

against President Castro He was
brought to this city Immediately after
his arrest and was paraded ir the
streets from the German station. After
the promenade he was escorted to the
central square of the city and set at
liberty by order of President Castro to
the great surprise of the populace. The
citizens were astonished. This is q, pop
ular movement on the part of Presi-

THOSE 81 JOINT CASES.
Ar. spencer's Assistant Makes an
EXPLANATION.

The assistants of City Attorney
Spencer are afraid that the people will
have a wrong impression concerning
the 81 cases which Mr.. Spencer has dis
missed. Those figures represent tn
total number dismissed since Judge
Hazen's ruling against spotter testi-
mony furnished at the expense Of the
city.
People have been accusing MIR.
Spencer of having dismissed 81 cases

days" said. ". c. Ralston. Mr.. Spen-
ecr's private secretary. AS a matter
of fact, the cases We're dismissed at in-
tervals, most of them being dismissed
on June TO-"
That does not alter the fact that
cases were dismissed on the ground
that convictions were had in pol ce
court on spotter evidence, and that Mr..

timony since he has been installed

ST. LOUIS LEPER.
City Now Wants to Transport Him to
Hawaii.

st. Louis, Aug 23.-Dong Gong. the
Chinese leper now under guard at the
quarantine and smallpox hospital, may
not remain a ward of the city of St
Louis. Health Commissioner StarkloT
is making ARA ngements to have him
taken TO the leper colony in the Ha-
waiian islands.
Dong Gong gives promise of achiev
ing national distinction. Taken from
Obscurity last week, examined by local
medical authorities, found affected with
leprosy, and sent to quarantine. Dong
Gong'S case has elected wide public at
tention. A special house was built for
Dong Gong and a special nurse was en-
gagged to watch him and attend to him.
DR.. Louis Knapp, the nurse, offered
his services in order to have an Op-
portunity to study leprosy in all its
transitions.

transport him there. DR.. StarklOf

tions to this plan.
A communication has also been sent
to the physician in charge of the leper
colony near New Orleans, La. with the
hope that Dong Gong may be accepted
there if ne cannot be removed to a
foreign shore.

I'm considering the advisability Of
relieving Doctor Knapp of his duties, "
said Doctor Starkloff. 1T is folly to
suppose that science can be benefited
by the study of a single case of leprosy-
We might as well conclude that In
Vestigation of one case of consumption

concerning that disease.

r. I. REA IN HERE.
@. A. r. Judge Advocate Looking
Up Soldier Case.

Judge Advocate r. I. Rea was in the
city this morning looking over the War
rem Elliott case papers in the light of
Lincoln Posts suggestion that the C. A.
r. department take it up as the official
test case
There is a hitch over such action as
the intimatfon is given that if the de-
partment takes hold it wants absolute
control of the disposition of the case.
And if the department decided that the
case was not suited to its needs this
would act as an absolute dropping of
the case and Attorney Woods is ad-
verse to this. Mayor Hughes has filed
a demurrer to the quo warranto sim
ply stating that the facts are not suffi-
cient to warrant the cause

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under
The Sun"

All doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inha1ers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the mu-
cous membranes causing them to crack
open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the inha1ers have entirely eaten
away the same membranes that their
makers have aimed to cure, while
pastes and ointments cannot reach the
disease. An old and experienced prac-
titioner who has for many ye ars made
a close study and speciality of the
treatment of CATARRH, has at last
perfected a treatment which when
faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures CA
TARRH, by removing the cause, stop
ping the discharges, and curing all in
flammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as ''SNUFFLES the
GUARANTEED ATARRH CURE"
and is sold at the extremely low price
of One Dollar, each package contain
ing internal and external medicine suf-
ficient for d full months treatment
and everything necessary to its per-
feet use.
"SNUFFLES" is the only perfect
CATARRH CURE ever made and is
now recognized as the only safe and
positive cure for that annoying and
disgusting disease. It cures all in
Illumination quickly and permanently,
and is also wonderfully quick to relieve
HAY FEVER or COLD in the HEAD.
CATARRH when neglected often
leads to CONSUMPTION" SNUF-
FLES'' will save you if you use it at
once. It is no ordinary remedy, but
complete treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure CATARRH in any
form or stage if used according to the
directions which accompany each
package. Don't delay, but send for it
at once, and write full particulars as to
your condition, and you will receive

Wisconsin is to be represented on
the Committee on Military Instruction

Attention is directed to the failure of
most of the measures favored by the

gress. General Rassieur attributes
the failure of the Veterans Preference
bill and the bill to create court of pen
sion appeals to the lack of support by
Grand Army men for the bills.

MAY SOLVE A MYSTERY.
Leonard Williamson, Arrested in This City
May be a Man From Westport Ind.

The arrest of Leonard Williamson
in this city a week ago on charge OF
attempted ho1d-up may solve mys-
terry that has long interested the police
IF Indiana cities, and Warden Nc
Claughery, of the State prison, is
searching for some evidence to con-
6rm the identity of Williamson.
Many years ago Leonard Williamson
disappeared from his home in West
port, Indiana, and although repeated
searches have been made for the young
man, all efforts to locate him have
proved futile. At one time the man
was traced to Chicago, but after that
no further trace OF him could be found
His father and mother have spent vast
sums seeking for him, but the best de-
tectives finally gave up the search and
Williamson was mourned as dead
When the report of the arrest of the
man in Kenosha county was made the
police of Westport and indianapolis
started a new search and everything
seems to point to the fact that the
ing a cell at the Wisconsin state prison
are one and the same. The officials
from the Indiana town will probably
visit the prison in the near future and
make an effort to identify Williamson
as the missing man.

EASTERN STAR DANCE.
A Pleasant Social Event at Simmons Hall
Wednesday Evening.


One of the most charming social
events of the opening summer season
in Kenosha was the dancing party
given Wednesday evening by the order
of the Eastern Star at Simmons Hall.
Years ago the custom of giving May
day dance was inaugurated by the
members of the Eastern Star and the
dance is looked forward to as one of
the great events of the year. The
party Wednesday evening was no ex-
ception to the rule and from every side
the order is being congratulated on the
success of the party. In honor of the
event the hall was prettily decorated
with flags and spring flowers, while
the platform occupied by the orchestra
was a perfect bank of palms.
Seventy-fve couple attended the
party and spent the evening dancing
TO sweet strains of music furnished by
the Jacoby and Compton orchestra.
The music was perhaps the best ever
furnished by Kenosha orchestra an
every dance was repeatedly encored.
At midnight refreshments of ice
cream and other delicacies were served
in the balcony. After supper dancing
continued until early morning.
Many guests from other cities at
tended the party and Kenosha society
was ont IN force.
