The Case of Alleged Torture in Brown.
inqton.

A preliminary hearing is in progress
before Justice Guild in Barton in the
case of Alvah Day, II, and Raymond
Adams 10, charged with manslaughter.
1T is alleged that they caused the death
of Rolfe Canning, s, of Bloomington,
schoolmate, and the report has been
widely circulated that they tortured the
lad by making him walk on a stone arch
beneath which they had built fire. and
that after his feet were burned they
threw him down and kicked him, caus-
ing injuries which resulted in death.
One statement is to the effect that the
boys attempted to initiate college haz-
ing, about which they had read. The
testimony of Dr. Wells of Bloomington
and Drs. Cushman and Prime of Barton
tended to show that the boy died from
peritonitis, caused, as two of the ply
sicians thought, by an injury. One of
the women who assisted in caring for
the boy repeated his conversation to the
effect that the Day and Adams boys held
him and had a lad named Waterman
kick him. Mrs. John Cheney, who was
called to care for the boy when he was
first taken SICK said he suffered great
pain, that his bowels We're swollen, red
and purple, and that when she assisted
in laying out the body she noticed that
his feet looked scared. Two other per-
sons testified that the boys feet We're
sore.
Later.-The court completed its work on
Monday of this week, reporting that it
had not found sufficient evidence for
holding the accused boys for the grand
jury. The result is received with great
satisfaction. The parents of the boys
wished to have the affair investigated,
as they We're confident that it would re-
suit in the eXoneration of their sons.

Iron in the blood
Blood unites with oxygen
in the lungs, and the
two together make the blood red.
The more iron, the more color.
Peptiron is a radical cure for anemia
and paleness, whatever the cause of
the trouble; and while it puts iron
into the blood and color into the face,
it puts strength into the nerves and
builds up the whole system.
1t is agreeable to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the stomach, and you can
be sure it will not constipate you nor
iniure your teeth.

How BerinR Died.

In Harper's Magazine Collins Shack
elford tells the true story of the fatal
expedition of the explorer Bering. from
whom Bering strait Is named. Hero
Is his account Of the adyenturer's death
after the loss OF his ship:
..Bering, who had been for some time
totally disabled, was brought ashore
on hand barrow in boat and placed
in a sheltering hollow, where his still
faithful men "a mere handful - had
cleared the snow from the sand, Even
then he was dying. His great age and
the hariships lac had undergone on
this voyage made his struggle for life
hopeless.
His slow passing away was pathetic
and piiiful. In effect be partially
buried himself alive He lay under the
shelter OF a tent made from an old sail.
Long suffering had made him childish
and petulant. Each day and all day
his weakening hands were constantly
busted scraping down upon his bedy.

the ridges on either side.

body was already half buried. and II

from some speeches in Johnson's local
Brice in speeches at two Democratic
state conventions.
Another potent influence, affecting
all of these elements is the fact that
Johnson's success in Ohio this year
makes him the absolute autocrat of the
party in this state. Every day devel-
ops more clearly such a close organiza-
tion of the party for and by Johnson
as 40 one else ever thought of. The
result must be to make him master OF
the rest. unless he is driven out of
eower completely at the approaching
election. 1t is too late to take any
further risk in that direction, so that
every man with any political ambition
whatever outside of Johnson's rigid
rule. must make common cause against
him or abide by the consequences of
his own neglect.
The practical political effect of this
state of affairs must surely count heav-
lily on this result. particularly so be-
cause the platform prepared for him
by the Chicago single taxer and So
cialist imported for the purpose. is
not national but local; is not Demo-
cratic but socialistic. and as such is
abominated by multitudes of Demo-
Gratis. who will have none of its here's
les. All Of these infiuences-the feel
ing that they had been treated with
bad faith. the great need from the
standpoint of the right kind of party
organization, the resentment at the
surrender of party principles. the
anger at the intrusion of newsideas-
are all aggravated and intensified by
Johnson's intolerance for every man
who dares to think for himself. and his
riding roughshod over all who decline
to obey him. These causes are in
creasing in their effect as the cam
paign proceeds. and ought to operate
to aggravate his most overwhelming
defeat.

A PLAY TO THE BLEAcHERs.
Some Absurdities About cIarke's
Bluff On Bank Stock Sale.


John III. Clarke's parade of his pur-
pose to sell his national bank stock IL
he should happen to be elected United
States senator is a play to the bleach
ers. No one knows this so thoroughly
as Mr.. Clarke. The performance is
based upon an assumed account Of
what the worthless of the past would
do under like circumstances. with an
assumption on Clarke's part of such
be found in the United States senate
in these degenerate days.
That this boast is utter humbug is
shown not alone by the smallness of
the amount OF money which measures
Mr.. Clarke's virtue, according to his
own account of himself. Up to date
$1,000 of the perilous bank stock has
been located in Mr.. Clarke's hands. In
spite of his plea Of poverty in begging
for votes he is actually a man of
wealth, but his known national bank
stock is only $1,000. No vote that he
might propably give in the senate
would be likely to effect even the in
come of this more than 5 or 4 per cent
in a year. Therefore. according to
Clarke's logic. he is so afraid OF him.
self that he Is afraid that less than
500 a year. more or less. might cor
rupt him. If he is as delicate as that
the people are afraid OF him. too.
One more point that applies to
Clarke's case in this connection Is tha,
10 this little bit of bank stock Is SO
perilous to him as a public official
then he would be In danger as United
States senator from everything about
him. and would need to be kept in g
glass case with the air exhausted from
Il. lest some microbe of selfishnes;
might corrupt him. Every vote thai
he might be called upon to give would
be in danger of Affecting his persona
