FIRES ON THE NEGRO.
Robert Cook, a Mulatto Brought to-
the City to be Examined as
to His Sanity.
Peculiar Actions Alarm Dan falcouer
and Family, Where Cook
Was Employed.
MIR. ~Falconer Forced to Fire Shot,
Which Slightly Wounds Cook
}... in the Arm.


Robert Cook. mulatto, who has a
place on the river bottoms in Lincoln
township, was brought to the city Sun
day afternoon and lodged in the county
JAIL awaiting an inquiry into his san
ity. A complaint in the case was
lodged by Nj. Dan Falconer of Lincoln
township, who had a rather disagree
able experience with Cook last week,
in the course of which it became neces-
sary for Mr.. Falconer to fire a shot
from shotgun. to keep Cook off his
place. The shot was fired to- scare
Cook rather thar injure him. although
several of the fine shot lodged in his
hand and arm. Cook was taken into
custody by Officers McHugh and HUI
bert. When they went to his place
Sunday afternoon he had a good sized
knife and said he would not. come to
town as he had important business
elsewhere but the officers finally per-
Psuaded him to accompany them.
According to the statement of MI.
Falccner, Cook had been engaged to
help. him haul grain last week. He
manifested symptoms of mental de-
| rangement when he first came to the
Falconer place. making the statement
/ that he had been asleep for fifteen
years and had just wakened up.
He insisted on rousing the hired men
at ; O'Clock in the morning shouting
loudly that there were Spaniards about
the place and they must get out. On
one occasion while sitting in the house
where Mrs. Falconer and Mrs. John R
Wilson were cooking supper he picked
up chair and threw it with, great
force against the kitchen door, He
persisted also in following Mr. Fal-
coner's two little girls about, until the
father became alarmed and told Cook
to GO home and not come back again.
This was on Saturday. On Sunday
about noon Mr. Falconer saw Cook
coming toward the house at quick
walk. He started to come into the
yard about the house, and Mr.. Falconer
warned him to stay cut. Notwith-
standing the warning Cook came
through the gate and toward the house.
II was then that Mr.. Falconer fired the
shot. which wounded Cook slightly,
and Mrs: Norman Falconer, who was
near, called to Cook to go home. or he
would get hurt. This seemed to con-
vince Cook that it was best for him to
go, and he left the place.
Mr.. Falconer says that, Cook has
shown signs, OF arrangement for some
time, and at times has told people
about that he was "a little off, Not
much was thought Of it until his De-
culiar actions alarmed the family. and
they feared that he might do some in
jury if he remained about the place.
Mr.. Falconer regretted the necessity
Of taking radical steps. but he feared
that some injury might be done if Cook
insisted on coming into the house.
Cook has lived On the river bottoms for
some years and has been known as a
good workman and a faithful farm
hand. when employed to do work.
Cook will be sent to the state asy-
lum at jamestown, the board of insan-
ity having so decided this morning.

DISPUTED POLITICAL POINTS.

IN ltS decision IN the McHenTy-
Pierce county case, wherein R. A. Fox
was decided to be the regular republi-
can nominee for the office of state SEN
ator, the supreme court passes upon
some disputed matters with relation to
political conventions. The syllabus
Of the decision, which passes upon the
matters in dispute, says: .s
"In determining which of two sets
of nominees of a split political con-
vention are entitled to have their
names placed upon the official ballot
as the party nominees, the inquiry of
the court should be limited to ascer-
tanning which of the conventions from
which the nominating certificates en-
anate is the regular one, and should
not extend to an examination of poIit-
ical methods and tactics further than
is necessary to ascertain the identity of
the regular party convention.
Where delegates who are entitled to
sit in party convention are present,
but refrain from voting, they cannot.
by so doing, invalidate the action taken
by a majority of those who do vote.
In such case, their silence is deemed
to be an assent to the action taken by
the majority. .'-
A political convention is the judge
of the qualifications of it's members
and its determination of contests be-
tween claimants for seats therein is
conclusive. a'... r,
The voluntary withdrawal of dele
gates from political convention which
has been regularly organized does not
deprive those who remain of the power
to act, or destroy the identity OF the
convention In such assemblages, the
presence of majority of those en-
titled to participate is not necessary
to constitute quorum, and those moi
present are presumed to assent to rhe
action taken by the majority of those
who are present a-d vote ... A..
A minority of the lawful delegates
to political convention cannot with.
draw from the regular convention and
unite themselves with persons whose
credentials have been rejected by the
convention and then successfully claim
that they constitute the legal party
convention.
1t is held. on the facts stated in the
opinion, that the convention held in
the Thirty-fourth Legislative district
On August ninth, 1902, which nomin-
ated what is known as the ''Fox legis-
larive ticket" was the regular conven-
ticn of the republican party and that
the nominees of said convention are
entitled to have their names placed
upon the official ballot as the nominees
of that party.

every case of typhoid, diphtheria and

SISTERS OF CHARITY
All Over the United States Use
Pe-ru-na for Catarrh,

DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the United
States. A recommend recently re-
ceived from a Catholic institution in the
Southwest reads as follows:
a Prominent Mother Superior SAYS,
81 can testify from experience to the
efficiency of Peruna as one of the very
best medicines, and it gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used it. For years I suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, all rene
dies proving valueless for relief. Last
spring 1 went to Colorado, hoping to be
benefited by n change of climate and
while there friend advised me to try
Peruna. After using two bottles l found
myself very much improved. The re-
mains of my old disease being now SO
slight, I consider myself cured, yet for
while l intend to continue the use Of
Peruna. L am now treating another
patient with your medicine. She has
been sick with malaria and troubled
with leucorrhea. L have not a doubt
that cure will be speedily effected"
These are samples ofIeffers received
by DR.. Hartman from the various
orders of Catholic Sisters throughout
the United States.
The names and addresses to these let
ters have been withheld from respect
to the Sisters but will be furnished upon
request.
One-half of the diseases which afflict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane
restoring it to its normal state, would
consequently cure all these diseases.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located,
whether it be in the head, throat, lungs,
stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs. A
remedy that will cure it in one location
will cure it in all locations.
If you do not receive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
