Users of the Cestus.

The cestus, 8 cruel and dangerous species of boxing, in which the hands and arms were furnished with gaunt- lets, loaded with lead or iron, was re- vived in Greece in the twenty-third Olympiad; but, as the victory in this game was frequently stained with blood, it was never held in much estimation by the Greeks, who evinced in their public sports none of the sanguinary ferocity that characterized the Romans. Damoxenus, champion of the cestus, having slain his adversary under cir- cumstances of much cruelty and treach- cry, was not only refused the wreath, but was driven from the stadium with every mark of infamy and indignation. while his deceased victim was splen- didly crowned by the judges. The com- batants in this exercise wore headpieces of brass for their protection, notwith- standing which they were often terribly mutiIated, though they might escape with life and limb.

More encouragement is found in

More encouragement is found in the crop situation at present than else where, says Banker Henry Clews in his weekly letter. Wheat, corn and cotton have all made great progress during the last two weeks, and the chances are good for a liberal yield of all three of these important staples There is nothing in the agricultural outlook thus far but what is hopeful. Business and industrial conditions in the interior continue satisfactory. A much more careful spirit is observ- able than existed year ago among those who control and take the initiat- i've. the financial reaction and the prevalence of high prices and dimin- ishing profits being the cause of this change of attitude. On the other hand, the volume of business shows no signs of dininution; traffic contin- ues upon an increasing scale and there are few signs, if any, of production having overtaken consumption. Were it not that prices of manufactured pro- ducts are usually on such high level, consumption would probably be on a larger scale, this being particularly true of iron and textile products. A favorable feature of much significance is the foreign buying of our credits abroad after the prompt payments made last spring. It is probable that considerable of the railroad bor- rowings referred to above wall be placed abroad, and these two infiu- ences have already induced heavy break in sterling, which puts an end to all gold exports for the present. Evidently we shall be obliged to look to Europe for relief in case of none tary stringency, and fortunately it seems likely to be available. As said, above, the worst of the decline seems to be over, and the best stocks should be purchase on the scale downwards.

One of the criticisms that one hears talked about in the corridors of the hotels in Washington, the political center, is the close personal relations of the president and Congressman Lit tauer of New York, who has been caught grafting while a member of congress by grabbing a contract to furnish gloves to the army. MT Lit tauer has boasted of his intimacy with the president and of his ''pul' at the white house. Did that ''pulP" have anything to do with landing the glove contract while he was member Of congress and therefore against the law? The people would like to have an answer to that question
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-07-20

There is another phase of this glove contract matter that has never been
 exploited in the press of this country, says a Washington correspondent. The people know nothing about 1t and 1t contains a whole lot of meat for medi- tation upon the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain, as prac- ticed by the astute and interruptions Secretary of War, MT Root. He is at present making lot of fuss about in- vestigating this glove contract, but he is doing the cuttle-fish act. He is giv- ing out a lot of stuff that darkens the waters, and no one can see his work. h. stead of placing the investigation of this glove contract in the hands Of the regular army inspector in charge, and every detail, he sends for a new man, a MT Darlington, who knows nothing about the true inwardness of it, and gives him his instructions as to how he is to carry on the investigation and what he is to investigate. He circumscribes and limits his discretion in the matter He tell him to investi- gate everything except one, and that one contains the milk in the cocoanut. That is the manner in which the con- tract is drawn. It is drawn in such a manner as to call for a certain and specific kind of glove, and that kind of glove is made only by the Littauer Brothers, glove manufacturers of New York. Thus no matter who got the contract from the war department he would have to go to the Littauer Brothers to have the gloves made and they would reap the profits. Will

A RIGID INQUIRY.
%udge Wants to Know Why Many
 Lives Have Been Lost.

Sudge Wants to Know Why Many
 Lives Have Been Lost.
 JACKSON, Ky, July 2O.--A renewal of feud troubles is brewing here. The special grand jury called by Circuit Judge Redwine to investigat te the charge of attempting to brtbe B. J. Ewen not to testify against Curtis Jett and Thom- as White in the Marcum murder case and the charge of arson for the burn ing of Ewen's hotel after he had testi- 6ed is convened here. Judge Redwine, tt is reported, will ask the grand jurors to go into sweeping inquiry concern ing conditions in Breathitt county, where twenty-seven lives have been lost since the Hargis Cardwell feud started and where no one has yet been lenses.
 Tn the event of general inquiry it is conceded that persons highly connect ed will be involved and that trials for the killing of Dr. Cox and Town Mar shal Cockrell will follow close on the second trial of Jett and White for the murder of Marcum.
 It is feared that trouble will begin when B. l.. Ewen returns here from Lexington to testify against we'll known citizen for offering him $5,0O0 cash if he would not testify against Jett and White.
 while in Lexington, made his will and arranged all his affairs. About $4,50O was raised for him by popular sub- scription after he lost everything he had in the incendiary fire, and this he has fixed for his family his wife and part of his children being here await ing his return.
 Ewen has told Commonwealth Att torney Byrd and others the name of the man who offered him the bribe, and as 1t Is said that the man has no means of his own the bribery investi- gation will extend to the one who was to furnish the money for the $5,000 bribe offered Ewen.
 This town has been kept quiet un- der martial law by the provost mar shal since Jett and White were trans farred to the jail at Lexington a month ago, but many are apprehensive over the coming week, although the troops are still here. The militia has been continuously here for two months.
 After the killing of Town Marshal James Cockrill there was no one to make arrests for over year until the soldiers arrived in May. Then City Judge Cardwell, who had been pris- oner in his own house for eighteen months, resumed holding court. The town trustees have just appointed Jo- seph Newland as town marshal New land is considered one of the bravest men in the mountain districts.
 During the past seven years seven men have held this position. Four of them were killed while on duty, and two of the other three were forced to resign.
 It is expected that special grand jury will complete it's work this week so that the attorneys, witnesses and others can go to Cynthiana, where the next trial of Jett and White for mur- dering Marcum will begin on Monday, July 27.

What prOOfDO You Want

That Standard Remedy has cured hundreds and is curing right along complaints that the best skill obtaln- able has failed to cure?
 Do you object to being cured unless by skill that you can i'll afford to pay for? The working classes should not fail to use it at once. The proof IS right in your city that it does the work quickly and thoroughly. Ask Mir Sickmund. shoemaker, Phoenix avenue, what 1t did for him after all else failed.
 A specialist that could make ths cures Standard Remedy has in this city could take hundreds of dollars ev- cry day and be lauded to the skies by all. Wfll you throw your prejudice aside as Mir Sickmund did and be cured? Rich and poor can all afford to use Standard Remedy. The poor should be cured as cheaply as possi- ble. Begin its use, You run no risk. Money refunded If dissatisfied.

The fair was a complete succeS S.
Everybody says SO, and what the
people say forms the popular yer
dict, no matter who the critic is.
Union City has passed through an
other occasion Of pleasure and pro-
fit to town aud county, entertain
ing thousands of visitors from diff
ferent sections. The carnival, Of
course, was here, but that did not
touch side, edge, nor bottom OF the
fair. The Farmers and Merchants
Fair, an organization of only few
weeks, offering to the people OF
Obion County and to other sections
over FIVE hundred dollars in cash
premiums, subscribed alone by the
citizens Of Union City, has the
pleasure to record tile fict that the
EXHIBITS Of live stock, agricultural
products, and display in the wo-
mans department were without the
least possible doubt the best ever
seen in this country-at a county
fair, far ahead of = anything ever
seen III our own county in the days
of the old fair. A gentleman from
Indiana, Mr.. Madden, a stock man,
volunteered the assertion, after
going through the agricultural de
partment, that our display of apples
and other exhibits exceeded any
thing he had seen at Indiana fairs.
The awarding Of premiums and
conduct of the tair was done III a
most satisfactory M a rl.er, and
everybody, even those who failed
to capture premiums, seemed highly
pleased with the success of the
occasion.
The baby show, one of the inter
esting features, attracted mani
moth crowd at the park Friday.
There was a large number of en-
tries, and, as usual, a spirited
contest. Every woman-and every
man, for that matter-who has a
baby, thinks it the most wonderful,
cutest creature in the universe.
This affection has been implanted
in the human bosom by the Creator
of all things, and as long as there
is life there will be a parental deyo-
tion stronger than all other ties.
