night for Kansas City, Mo-, tells most
remarkable story of more than a years
captivity and her final escape from a set

fortune by investing her money there,
and that she would be assured of a COM
Portable home all her life and an educa-
tion for her son. She had $3.50, which was
turned into the common fund, and was

rejected the principles of anarchy: After
endeavoring to: get her money back she
wrote to, her. brother, ]. G. w: Stinson Of

DR.. Bessie Park Haines has received
letter from Miss Anna M. Seagran, who
went to Manila from Minneapolis as
Red Cross nurse during the Spanish
American war. Miss Seagran is In charge
of the cholera hospital In Manila and she
writes Of the epidemic as follows FsfE
When the board, of health first began
the fight against the prevailing tropical
diseases the members no doubt little
dreamed of what was before them. They
began with the plague and an order, was
issued that everybody must be inoculated

morning the cholera broke out. Some
time before several cases were reported
in Hongkong, and, as most of the vege-

done was to prohibit the bringing in Of
vegetables, - All steamers coming from
China were quarantined. In spite of these
precautions, cases developed, until, what

THEY CONFER AGAIN
The Republican Senator's Talk over
Reciprocity.


Reciprocity.
Washington, June 21.-The republican SEN
ators yesterday held another conference on,
the question Of Cuban reciprocity and after
three hours discussion adjourned without ac-
ton, subject to the call of Chairman All-
son. .-r -cs !. -. ,...-
There were eight nine speeches made in
support of reciprocity, and only two in op-
position to that policy. This was in accord
with previous understanding that as the
beet sugar senators had monopolized the at
tention of the conference on Wednesday
night, their opponents yesterday should have
the greater share of the time. p. =,
Senator Foraker opened proceedings with
an appeal to- his party; colleagues to get to-:
gether in support of this measure, which had,
he said, become party question, having been
made SO by the attitude not only of the pres
ent chief magistrate, but by that of his hon
ored predecessor. He said with some appear
ance of feeling that men could not be with
the party at one time and against it at an
other and maintain their prestige. He also
spoke of the necessity Of maintaining the
most cordial relations with Cuba.
The meeting had almost concluded when
Senator Burton of Kansas took the floor to
make brief but impassioned and eloquent
speech in support and defense of the atti-
tude of the beet sugar republicans. =

+ Boston, June 21.-A call embodied in
Mrs. Eddy's message for aid in adding to
the present ediflce of the Mother church,
which is now much too small, is generally
discussed and it revealed that the board
of management of the church has quietly
acquired the necessary land and the ex-
tension will go on In good time.
News was received yesterday from
Switzerland which was the occasion of
much quiet congratulation among the
Scientists. The supreme court Of can
ton Zurich has rendered a decision which
virtually places Christian Science upon a
legal and authorized footing there.

Special to The Journal. 49,. ....
Lincoln, Neb., June 21.-Fusionists of
Nebraska are all at sea on the matter Of
gubernatorial candidate. The sagacious
men of the democratic and populist par
ties have been looking long and wearily
for some chosen one to lead them out of
the wilderness of defeat, but so far the
ideal candidate has not appeared. Will
liam ]. Bryan declined the nomination
with all possible emphasis. Many of the
fusionists still believe he could poll the
highest vt te of any democrat in the state
and that whole hordes of Nebraskans
would vote for him Just to 'see what he
meets at Grand Island next Wednesday,
there will be many longing glances cast
at Fairview.
Constantine ]. Smyth of Omaha will
make an exceptionally pleasing candidate
to the radical element, but he is not re-
ceived with favor by the conservative
democrats In the eastern section Of the
state He has record, made while he
was attorney general, of being a rank
anti-monopolist. The antitrust cry will
be embarra ssing in the western part. of
the state where the cattlemen are re-
ceiving top prices for stock and are not
disposed to listen to a calamity howl.
Then, too, Mr.. Smyth is a democrat, and
it IS yet to be decided whether the head
of the ticket will be a democrat or pop
ulist
General Victor vifquain of Lincoln*i is an
aspirant as is also w. H. Thompson of
Grand Island. Populists who show a. de-
sire to scrap for the honor are g.: W.
Berge of Lincoln and ex-Congressman
Sutherland of Nelson. Issues are scarce
with the fusionists, and from the wheel
horses of the party there ca be CLEANED
no definite information concerning the
planks of the platform. The convention
will meet in two bodies. democrats in
one, populists in the other. Finances are
low, the state central committee is in
debt Rivalries and chickering's are in
evidence from various parts of the state,
and a stormy session is expected. =.

MandamuS This Time.

1t seems that troubles do not come
singly for the johnson City Water
company, the new company organized
for the purpose of furnishing water for
the Soldiers Home. Last week the
company was enioined from using the
water it was reaching after with line
of pipe because the taking OF that water
would seriously interfere with the sup
ply Of the Wataugs Water company,
and because large part of the water
in question belonged TO the latter com
pany, 80 says the bill. Within the last
few weeks the johnson City Water
company closed q road known as the
"Big Hill" road, leading from the
Horse Cove road to the property oil
rhos. Lilly and the U. s. Leather Co.
This road has been open for over AZ
years, and Thos. Lilly and others filed
a bill against the company asking for 9
mandatory injunction TO compel ths
company to open the road and keep il
open. In the bill the plaintiff alleges
that J. b. Cox, the general manager o.
the Water company, told him that if b,
would promise not to sue him for dam
ages on account of diverting the water
OF sinking creek or allow any one els,
to do so by using his name, he woult
allow him to use the road. This MIR
Lilly refused to assent to, hence th,
bill. Judge Sneed, of Knoxville, dur
ing the absence of Judge Smith from
this city, issued tie order and the bill
was served this week. Up to this tim
no steps have been taken by the Waite
company to dissolve the injunction
granted last week restraining it from
using the Waters of sinking creek o
tributaries as contemplated.

Mad Dog on the Rampage.

A rabid dog was killed in Unicoi
county few days ago after it had
wrought much damage. The dog Is
supposed to have come across the
mountains from North Carolina. 1t
bit number of cows and horses, and
in most instances the bites proved
fatal. Two cows belonging to onr old
friend DR.. M. L. PEBBLES were bitten
by the dog aud died. Other stock was
poisoned by the dogs attacks. A man
in the community killed the dog, but
not until after it had poisoned other
dogs, aud some that were victims of
the Carolina cur are said to have at
tackled certain men in the community
and alarming results are feared.
