suggestion made last spring that Sen

ed. The Herald has good cause to
feel gratified and it is safe to say that
all republicans are more pleased with
the satisfactory settlement of the
slight fractional differences that then
existed

In its zeal to assist Jerry Sullivan
in his campaign for governor the Chi
cago Examiner credits him with the
contention that the tariff shelters the
Standard Oil Co. The utter falsity of
such declaration is known to every
citizen at all familiar with the provi-
sions of our tarlf law. Whether Mr..
Sullivan really made luch statement
or whether it was merely imputed to
him by that yellow sheet, it is a piece
OF demagoguery pure and simple and
will have no effect on the intelligent
Iowa voter.

The Cedar Rapids Republican thinks
there is no more important thing for
the American people to learn than to
stand pat What is wanted in this
country" it says, sis less veering and
less ephemeralism. What is wanted
are lawmakers who are willing to
abide awhile in one place-at least
long enough to wait and see the full
effect of their policies. The curse Of
the American system is a too change
fitness. Every time there is little
squall somebody wants to remske all

Esau WiJ Hams and Dave Johnston, in Goodwater on the night of April 25, 1902. and put them in the calaboose. The next day they were carried before the Mayor and fined 8 and costs each. After the trial they were taken to MT. Whites store. They were then taken to the depot. They were tied with a small rope, which be secured at MT. Whites store. They were than taken to Dadeville. Reaching DadeviIle, he went to livery stable, where he had telegraphed for a team to meet him. A buggy was hitched and waiting for the boys. The witness left the three boys at the stable with the Dadeville marshal. He met J. W. Pace and told him he had three boys. Pace said he could not use them. Then he saw Turner and told Turner he had three boys.
 What are they worthy he said Tur- ner asked him.
 Fifty dollars" the witness said he re- piled.
 "Theyre not worth it," said Turner. Make it $45," the witness said. "Tu give you $4O." said Turner.
 "'A right replied" continued Dun bar, Wand he pad me $40. That's the
 whole truth about it." Dunbar said Turner talked to the boys and came back and told him he had fixed the matter up with the boys, and 1t was all right He knew nothing about a contract Turner sent the men out to the farm in the buggy which had been wait ing for them.
 Dunbar said he did not have any com- mitment papers for the negroes. He paid the fines for the men to the clerk of the court at Goodwater, when ne returned there.
 The Deal in Negroes. Recurring to his conversation with Tur-
 ner. Dunbar said Turner did not ask him where the boys came from or the charge against them. He told Turner they came from Goodwater. When Turner came up he said:
 Well, I see you've got three men. | What are they worth?'' "Pn take $5O." said Dunbar. "I can't give you that" replied Turner.
 '"Then take them for $45." Dunbar said he answered.
 "In give you s4O." said Turner. "AlI right" and the trade was closed
 Then he said he told Turner he could talk with the boys and the deal was clos ed with them, Turner giving him a check for $40. The check was produced by Mir Reese and its genuineness was admitted by counsel for Turner.
 In the corner of the check in the hand writing of J. F. Turner Is written, For three negroes-fines and costs'

 MT. Dave White came to see me while on duty in Columbus, about the 4th or 9th of May. He came there and said that he was on his way to Montgomery and thought he would come by and see me; that he was coming over here;. that the United States Court was in session. and they were trying to indict these people, Turner among them, and he, White. did not want to be indicted before the courts. that he was coming down here to Mont goomery in his own interest. He went on to state about the negroes that went to Faces, that MT. Franklin was the man who carried the negroes there, and said he told the attorneys who came up there to see about the negro from Camp Hill. Jim Camphill, and Herman Patterson. that Franklin was the man who carried them there. -
 q said to MT. White: If you recollect came by your store and you told me about the man being there and the attor- neys came up and I went and called Mir Franklin in their presence. and Franklin said he was the man who carried them to Dadeville. to Faces, and was respon- sible for it.

At the headouar- ters of the United Mine Workers or America in the Chalifoux Building today there were several delegations in from various mining camps but 1t was an' nounced that there was nothing new to give out. W. R. Fairley, Alabama mesn- Der of the National Executive Board of the miners today gave out an answer 10 statement issued yesterday by J. C.. Maben, President of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. who stated that in case the miners did not hurry up and accept the offer of the operators for a renewal of the old contract with. 1-2 cents per ton advance, that the Sloss- Sheffield Company. if no other, would withdraw the offer and a fight to the finish would be made with the miners. Mir. Fairley gave out strong answer
 He said that If the Sloss-Sheffield Com pany withdrew its offer. when settle ment was arrived at by the other opera tors that company would be forced to make a contract separately and on the same basis as the other companies.
 President Ed Flynn of the miners. stat ed today that there were no probabilities of joint conference between miners and operators in the next few days. The statement of President Maben, of the Sloss-Sheffield Company. it appears. has thrown cold water to a certain degree on prospects for a settlement In the near fu- ture.

Negro House Dynamited.

Mayor Wiley Burton of Brookside. a mining camp in the western part of the county. was in the city today and he told of a number of white men going to the home of Jasper Smitherman. a negro, last night and dynamiting the house.
 A few days ago Smitherman is said to have been discovered paying attentions to a white woman and the woman was agreeable to the attentions. Efforts were made night before last to find Smither- man and had he been found he might have been dealt with roughly. Last night the white men went to his house and dynamited 1t, expecting Smitherp1an to be at home. Both Smitherman and the woman have left Brookside for parts unknown. Had Smitherman been found last night he would have been badly treated and the white men say they will keep a sharp lookout for him. Smither- man is almost white in color.

HAPPY RESULTS OBTAINED. By the Use of the New Scalp Anti
 septic.

It wouldn't take long to number the hairs in the heads of some people. the reason being they haven't many to num- Der. In most instances, however. the fault is their own. A germ at the root soon plays havoc with the most luxuriant growth and causes 1t to fade and fau out. A remedy for this has recently been dis covered, called Newbro's Herpicide. that acts by destroying the germ that does the damage, besides removing all impu- rities from the scalp. In addition it permits new life and vigor to enter the scalp, and happy results are sure to be obtained from It's use. Try 1t. Sold by leading druggists.

WANTED GRAVEL
AIIiancs Authorities Were De-
termined to Ig more Owner
in Getting IL.

A rather peculiar case comes from
Alliance to the probate court. The
trustees of Lexington township wanted
gravel to use upon public road. They
tried to buy it from John Oesch, but
he refused to sell. The trustees then
passed a resolution condemning sos
cubic yards of Oesch's gravel and fixed
the price at 8 cents yard, the inten-
ton being to enter upon his premisg
and take what they wanted.
Oesch thought the price too small ami
that he should have damages. claiming
that the hauling over his land would
do injury. He accordingly appealed
to the probate court and the case will
be heard at an early day. The state
law gives trustees the right to thus
appropriate road material and take it II
an equitable compensation - paid,
whether the owner wants to sell or not

DICK AND GILL
ON THE OUTS
Republican Congress-
men Fight Over Minor
Appointm e nts.
(Staff Special)

Columbus, Aug. 20.--The charge
made by Congressman Gill, of Steu-
benville, that Congressman Dick. of
Akron, as chairman of the Republican
state executive committee. Influenced
the action of that body in the Hook
ing and Monroe county contests over
the appointment of county election
nial that Dick had anything to do with
the decisions of the committee in
these cases. Gill excoriated Dick Sc
verely, accused him of meddling and
stirring up factional strife in the Re-
publican party. The hostility of the
Steubenville statesman was caused by
the committee turning down the Gill
candidate in the Monroe county con-
test. The action of the committee was
sore disappointment to him and he
showed his chagrin plainly.
In refutation of the charge, Dick Sc
cured the signatures of all the men,
bers of the committee to statement
denying he had dominated their ac-
tion. This statement was given out
by John R. Malloy, secretary of the
committee. and is as follows:
'The undersigned, members of the
state executive committee, desire to
say that Chairman Dick, or no other
person pretending to represent or
speak for HIM, either directly or indi.
rectly, before the meeting of the
state committee, or during it's ses-
sion, spoke to us concerning either
the Hooking or Monroe county case,
tion from Chairman Dick or any per-
SON pretending to speak for him, of
how, he felt concerning the claims of
the contesting parties in either party.
Our action, on whichever our votes
were cast, was based solely on the
evidence presented, and without re-
quest, suggestion or even an intima-
tion from the chairman as to his de-
sire or wishes in the premises"
EXPECTING CONTESTS.
Chairman w. j. Fry, of the Demo-
cratic state central committee has
issued a call for a special meeting of
the committee, to be held in Column
bus next Tuesday afternoon at three,
for the purpose of considering the
credentials of the county delegations
to the convention. Concerning the
matter he said: There will be a
number of contests, and it is my de-
sire to have all the members, instead
of the chairman and secretary alone
presented to the credential commit
tee, 10 be appointed by the district
meetings.

Trouble and Has Finally Got.
ten Into tho Courts.

Lisbon, o., Aug. 20.-The dissolu-
tion of the East Liverpool Potteries
Co. a million-dollar combine which
was run at loss for two years, is
causing trouble among the stockhold-
er. Z. j. Owen charges that an at
tempt is being made to defrand him of
his half interest in the East End pot
terry in East Liverpool
Judge w. w. Hole has issued a tenn
porary restraining order enjoining the
combine from making any further dis
position of the half interest in ques-
ton. The combine was formed in
June /, 1901. Incorporated and capit-
allied at S1,000,O00 the stockholders
in the various companies interested
were to be represented in it in accord
ance with their holdings in the indi-
vidual concerns. Mr.. Owen, as a half
owner with Gus Trenie of the East
End pottery, received credit for 470
shares valued at 800 each.
The dissolution agreement provided
that each stockholder was to receive
just what he put into. the combine and
Owen alleges that the company is pre-
pairing to deed his half interest to j.
X. Rush and F. B. Lawrence. which
will leave him against his will a
stockholder in a newly constituted
combine consisting of the Globe and
United States potteries only.
