NrIolu tile sentinel, GeD0, MOnt,)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers In 1889. the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim he encoun-
tered much bad water. which, to-
sether with the severe heat, gave him
very severe diarrhoea. which il
seemed almost impossible to check.
and along in June the case became
SO bad he expected to die. One day
one Of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of ChamberIain's collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground In great agony. and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effcct of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure. and he can
not help but feel grateful. The sea
son for bowel disorders being at hand
suggests this item. For sale by ali
druggists.

MANY GIFTS
TO SACRED HEART FAIR.

Preparations for the fair to be given
by Sacred Heart Church in Catholic
Library Association Hall April IA, are
being pushed forward. The programme
for the opening night. which has al
ready been published in the Morning
News is practically complete and the
only question to be settled as to the
order of events for the remaining nights
is that order of visits by the various
bodies and societies that will be in
vited to be present, one on each night.
The ladies that are working for the
fair have been soliciting donations for
some time and have already met with
encouragement that assures the finan-
cial success of the undertaking. These
donations are of all kinds, both as to
classification and value and have been
received from foreign as we'll as local
sources.

TeraeIY Told.

A life insurance company cannot
take the place of a husband, but it can
preserve the family from want; it
can tighten their load of care; 1t can
build a barrier to the almshouse; it
can lay the foundations of home and
independence; it can certify to a mans
affectionate regard for his family; it
can place his widow above the need
of marrying for a home; it can add
to a mans years by freeing him from
anxiety as to the future of his fam
lily, and it can highten the esteem in
which his wife and children hold him.
But exercise a little prudence in the
selection of the company. Don't take
a policy unless it provides for annual
distribution of dividends. Don't take
"tontine" insurance, it may disappoint
you-it has been called a gamble.
Twenty years is a long time for you
to find it out, besides it's then too
late to kick. Make sure at the start;
get a reckoning every year and you
will know where you're at. You need
no approximations if your policy is in
the Massachusetts Mutual for aside
from it's plainly stated, easily under
stood terms, you have the law of Mass
achusetts back of it, which guarantees
you your every equity. Let US show it
to you-the pleasure will be ours, and
when you get your policy you will be
pleased. Write, giving your age and

SINNERS AGAINST UNCLE SAM
Had Even-Hnnded Justice Melted Ont
to Them in the United States Court.

Had Even-Hnnded Justice Melted Ont
to Them in the United States Court.
The last of the criminal cases for
the March term in the United States
District Court were disposed of yes
terday. There are yet one or two
other matters of a criminal nature
awaiting the action of the court but
these have gone over for the term for
various causes The defendant in
each case is out under bond.
When court convened Judge Speer
read to the jury his charge in the
case of ]. B. Holman. a negro notary
public of Chatham county who had
been indicted for making false jurats
to pension claims. The courts charge
was very much enjoyed, portions of it
being so humorous as to invoke gen
eral laughter. The government failed
to make out its case to the satisfaction
of the jury, and a verdict of not
guilty was returned. Holman was
represented by Railford Fallgant
w. a. Bowman, who halls from
Thomas county pleaded guilty to
making and uttering counterfeit coin.
The court imposed a fine of $500 and
ordered that the offender be impris-
oned in the Federal prison in Atlanta
for two years.
The case of John w. Harrell. a mid
dle-aged, but rather improvident resi-
dent of Cumberland, was called, and
after a statement by the defendant,
was continued for the term. Harrell
stated that his populations were moth
ing like the amount alleged in the in
dictment, in which the amounts stated
were "all wrong" The court appoint
ed George w. Owens to defend Har-
rell.
After the conclusion of the criminal
business, there being no other bust
ness before the traverse jurors, Judge
Speer discharged them with thanks
for their services. He took occasion
to say that he had never known of a
jury composed of a more representa-
tive body of men, adding that he new
er failed when opportunity afforded to
tell the other judges how fortunate
his court was in this respect

FIVE DAYS FOR CONTEMPT.
Negro Witness Who Threw His Sub
pOena Away Will Remain Behind
the Bars.

Negro Witness Who Threw His Sub
pOena Away Will Remain Behind
the Bars.
In order to insure his attendance on
the next session of the grand jury on
Wednesday, Joe White, the negro wit
ness, who, though summoned before
Fridays session of that body, failed to
put in his appearance, and who was
afterwards arrested under a bench
warrant issued by Judge Barrow, was
yesterday sentenced to five days in jail
at the expiration of which time he
will be brought before the court for
its further suitable action.
White, who is known as Sassy"
Joe, was summoned as a witness in the
policy cases which are being investi-
gated by the grand jury. The sub
poena was served upon him by Deputy
Sheriff Nose Lilienthal. The negro de-
liberately tore the subpoena up and
threw it on the sidewalk, eXclaiming
with an oath that he would not be
there.
Judge Barrow has announced his in
tention of dealing summarily with
those who trif1e with the order of the
court. He has instructed the grand
jurors to inform him OF any witness
who fails to put in his appearance or
declines to answer any question put to
him by the jurors. a large number of
witnesses have been summoned for the
Wednesdays session, and it is probable
that the example made of White and
of officer Mallette, who was fined $40
for absenting himself from the DELHI
erationS, will stimulate attendance.

FIGHT FOR CHILD CONTINUES.
Father EndeavOred to Defeat Ends
of Justice by AbsentinE Himself.

OF Justice ny ADSenNlmE
According to the contentious of coun-
sci for the plaintiff in the case of Mrs.
Effe Noonan against Minor B. Noonan,
the latter absented himself from the
Jurisdiction of the court in order to de-
feat the ends of justice in the sensa-
tional habeas corpus proceedings for
the possession of an infant child of the
parties litigant, which has been going on
before Judge Barrow for some time
past. Whether or not the defendant
had any such idea, he did not accom-
plsh such an end by his absence.
The litigation for the possession Of
the child has been very bitter. At the
recent hearing before Judge Barrow
the court ordered that the custody of
the child be awarded the sheriff until
April 4, to be disposed of by him under
the direction of Judge SeabrOok, who,
Judge Barrow held, had jurisdiction in
the matter, since the defendant was
a resident of Efingham county. If no
order was taken by Judge SeabroOk at
the termination of that time, the order
further provided, the custody Of the
infant was to be awarded to the
father.
The father, hearing that the matter
would be brought before Judge Sea-
brook yesterday, say the plaintiffs,
left the community, so that he would
not be bound by the order passed, since
unless service is perfected on de-
PENDANT according to law he cannot be
held to the order taken in a case. If
no valid order was passed yesterday,
the child would. under the former order
be given to him.
Counsel for defense moved the court
to modify the order heretofore passed
so as to instruct the sheriff to con-
tinue to hold the child until some or
der was passed by Judge Seabrook.
The court granted such a modification.
In the meanwhile the mother is con-
tent since the child though construc-
lively in the possession of the sheriff
is actually in her possession, Sheriff
Schwarz having deputized her to care
for the little one who is the innocent
cause of all the trouble

AND 1T WAS SUPPOSED THAT ROB-
Der WAS INSIDE.

ed Men Rushing to the Apartments

Commissioners Flat on state
Street Was Surrounded, But SLeI-
eton Keys Would Not Fit the

While Messenger Hurried From
MIR. LathrOp's Country Home With
Keys.
Believing that burglar was in the
fat occupied by Mr.. F. S. Lathrop, on
State street, near Bull, the apartments
We're surrounded by detectives and
uniformed men last night until mes
senger could bring the keys to the
place from Mr.. Lathrop's country
home, several miles out of the city.
The officers were on guard for more
than an hour before the keys arrived,
and the house was searched. No trace
of a burglar was discovered, and the
detectives were confident that no one
had been in the apartments of the
chairman of the County Commission
ers. About three months ago Mr.. La
throps home was robbed and shortly
afterwards he put in a burglar alarm
system.
The occupants of the fiat above were
startled at o'clock last night by the
ringing of the bells on the floor below.
They Immediately decided that bur
glars were at work, and telephoned
Desk Sergeant McCool at police head
quarters. Detective Frank Wall was
hurried to the house on State street
and saw through the keyhole that a
light was burning in one of the rooms
The bells had stopped ringing, and
there was no sound from within.
Bicycle officer Christie was station
ed at the front entrance to the build
ing and Detective Wall guarded the
rear Detective Murphy arrived a few
minutes later, but none of the skeleton
keys carried by the plain clothes men
for just such occasions would fit the
Yale locks on the doors. Patrolmen
Jernigan and Beach We're also kept on
watch and for more than an hour the
officers watched windows and doors
while messenger hurried to the city
with Mr.. Lathrop's keys.
A thorough search of the apartments
by the officers failed to disclose any
sign of a burglars work. Nothing had
been disturbed and it was apparent
that there had been no one in the
rooms after Mr.. Lathrop locked the
doors and left. 1t sometimes happens
that burglar alarms go off without be-
ing interfered with and sound their
warning notes when there is no occa-
sion for 1t. This appears to have been
the case at Mr.. Lathrop's home and
the officers were rather disguised aft
er their long wait for nothing.

LAST DAY OF i. S. COURTS.
Judge Speer VIII Deliver His Opin-
ion in BarfOrd Admiralty Case.

Tomorrow will be the last days
session of the United States Courts
for the March term. The session will
be short one, there being little bus
mess for the court to transact. Some
of the officers of the court returned to
their homes last night. Nearly all
of the nonresident members of the
bar who have been in attendance on
the court have returned to their re-
spective towns.
When the court convenes in the
morning Judge Speer will read his de-
clsion in the case of the Actieselsca bet
'Barford" against the Hilton and
Dodge Lumber Company. This is a
suit on maritime contract, wherein
the complainant is endeavoring to re-
cover large amount of demurrage
from the defendant by reason of its
failure to load its vessel as per char
ter party. The defense to the bill is
that the speedy performance of the
contract was rendered impossible be-
cause of a strike of longshoremen
which occurred at the time of the
loading. w. G. Charlton represents

$4,000 per Bottle.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly, it
is very cheap price for a bottle Of
Johnson's Tonic.
Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who
uses it half way right.
Second. No other medicine can cure
a bad attack of grip.
$500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for so
cents a bottle.
