OFFIcE OF ]. r. LASSITER.

HENDsONvILLE, S. G Sept. 2, 1896.
Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago l operated float
inc saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands we're always exposed to the worst malaral
influences I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss Of time and business on
account Of sickness among the workers
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and 1 determined to give the
medicine a trial. [ procured it, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment, and those who
we're feeling badly we're at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic and
never had another case Of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

$4,000 FARMHOUSE
While Residence is Building Bryan
Will Live in the Barn.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 3-William j.
Bryan is about to take up his abode
in a barn, Several months ago Bryan
decided to sell his residence property
on d street, in the city, and remove to
the farm, after constructing new
house.
Last autumn thefoundation was laid
and commodious barn was also con-
structed. Frequent drives to the farm
to superintend the two structures have
taken valuable time from Mr.. Bryan's $
editorial duties on the Commoner,
and he has now decided to convert the
barn into dwelling, staying there
temporarily, so that he can personally
oversee the work of building the new
home. The new house will be of chip
ped red brick, resting on a stone foun-

dation. 1t will be modern in it's APP
pointments and contain about twenty
rooms. The plans call for an eXpendi-
ture of 10000. A fine lawn OF blue
grass and clover already surrounds
the estate and shade trees of a healthy
growth are nourishing in the yard on
all sides. 1t is only few hundred
from suburban trolley line. The re-
moval to the barn will come in March.
In the Commoner this week Mr. Bryan
explains his action. He says:
"The readers of the Commoner were
duly informed when ground was brok-
en- for the residence which am build
ing near Lincoln. II is now time to
report progress. The foundation and
the walls are above grade, so that the
work can be resumed as soon as spring
opens. The barn is practically com
pleted, In order TO be on the ground
while the house is being built we have
decided to move into the barn on my
birthday, the 10Th of March, and oc-
cupy it until the house is completed. "

Kay county will ask for township
and a half and will consent that the
remaining six townships be attached to
Noble county.
These Indian lands are among the
richest in Oklahoma, lying partly in
Kay and partly in Noble county.
There are nearly 1000 acres unallot-
ted, more than enough for 500 farms of
| 10 acres each. In addition it is pro-
posed to ask that allotments to de-
ceased Indians be opened to settle
ment. There are $50 such allotments
in the Ponca country and 100 in the
Missouri and Otoe, varying from so to
| l6O acres each.
The opinion is general that, should
Congress au uhorlze the opening of
lands, the homestead law would pre-
vail, but persons we'll informed on the
subject say that the lands would be
sold to the highest bidder. The pro-
ceeds of the sales would he deposited

AGAINST THE POWERS
The Queen is Very Distrustful of the
Foreign POwers---She has not

Wv lN0t hNh
Peking, Jan. 2-Several recent oc-
currences tend to discourage The hope
that the dowager empress had learned
a lesson of reform from the events of
the past year. Foreigners are dis
posed to take u pessinistic view of
the outlook. General Yung LUIS de-
termination to organize two anti
foreign army corps to Offset the com
mands of the pro-foreign Chinese
leaders is particularly disquieting.
and is evidence of the continued dom
ination OF his influence, which is Bit
terly anti-foreign.
Other incidents which are considered
significant are the suppression of the
only Independent newspaper in this
city by order ofthe governor Of Peking
and the closing of the industrial
school here, recently organized by
philanthroplc Chinese, also by the
governors order. This school was
intended for the training of destitute
youths. Other liberal Chinese will
hesitate now to give practical vent to
their theories, fearing the displeasure
of ohicialdom.
A third edict regarding the recent
murder of a Belgian priest (near
Ningh Sha Foo in Kan 500 province
has appeared 1t appoints special
official to punish those who are guilty
of the crime and reallirms the dowager
empress good will toward Christians.
This is unusual activity upon the part
of the court. in the punishment of
those guilty of an anti-Christi out
rage and is taken as evidence of the
dowager empress desire to conciliate
the powers upon the eve of :he return
of the court to Peking.
Proofs accumulate that Prince

dowager empress to trust herself with

replies were not encouraging. The

CONVICTS WILL HANG
Five of the Mutineers Will Have to An
swer in Federal Court for First
Degree Murder


Leavenworth, Kansas, Jan. g.
Kansas has had all kinds of murder
trials, but perhaps the most unique
one in all history was held here to-
day. 1t was remarkable because it
grew out of n remarka BILE alfair-the
federal prison mutiny; next, because
five criminals were placed ON trial at
once for first degree murder: next, be-
cause the trial was held behind prison
walls; last, because it was not sought
to deprive the defendants of their
liberty, for they had none, but simply
to deprive them of their lives.
The defendants were five convicts.
They were accused of killing John =.
Waldrupe, prison guard, during the
mutiny of November o. Their names
are Fred Robinson, fivc-year man
from Vinita, l. r.; Gilbert Mullens, a
fve-year man from the same place:
Turner Barnes, ten-year man from
Muscogee; Bob Clark, a hve-year man
from Ardmore, and Frank Thompson,
colored, a seven-year man from South
McAlester.
Mullen, Clark and Thompson were
bound over to the federal grand jury
without bail. Barnes and Robinson
will meet the same fate tomorrow
Waldrupe, the guard, was shot
through the brain on the day of the
mutiny. He lived nine days. While
he was lingering between life and death
the officials were gathering the escaped
convicts into the fold again and fer
reting out the ringleaders of the mu-
tiny. They simmered it down to about
ten convicts, five of whomi they have
captured. These five were arraigned
today on the charge of murder in the
first degree. The .other five will be
arraigned on the same charge if they
are ever caught The balance of the
recaptured mutineers-twelve in num-
ber-will haveto answer to the charge
of murder in the second degree.
Usually the court is held out in the
open, but the court that ibound these
convicts over today did business be-
hind prison twalls. There was a
good reason for this. a report
reached the prison officials yesterday
that some relatives and friends of the
convicts had arrived in Leavenwortt
and that they would attempt to rescue
their pals today whenlbrought to towr
for their preliminary examination
While Warden McClaughry didn'
give much credence to the story, ye
he took wise precautions. He asked
that the preliminary examination be
conducted in the prison, Commis
