Washington. June 25=Arthur Corwell

Ind. and who was arrested on charge of
completely in the burning to death of Geo.
White. the negro assallant and murderer
of Helen Bishop. was released on $500 oail
last night He will be given a further
hearing tomorrow. Last night about 1000
persons gathered in front of the city nall
where CorweH was confined and made a
demonstration. The police authorities took
every precautiOn to- prevent an attempt at
rcscuing their prisoner by the crowd EX-
ira police were on duty within the police
station and all the police officials were
on hand The crowd committed no overt
act. however, beyond making great noise.
There We're loud cries for the release of
Corwel.
The coroner's inquest was concluded last
night and when word reached the police
station that the verdict did not implicate
Corwen the authorities decided to release
him on $5,o9 bail rms was promptly lnr-
nished by Thomas McHugh of this city.

action soon reached the crowd and a great
cheer went up. after which the people
quickly dispersed.
When the inquest began the remains of
White could not be found and after a long
search they were found wrapped IN paper
in an ice chest. White weighed about 200
pounds. but only FIVE pounds of flesh and
bones were left Of him after the lynchers
had concluded their work. The jury
brought in the following verdict:
That George White came to his death
between the hours of 10 p. m. Of June y,
1903 and p. m. of June %, 1903. by being
burned in a field adjoining the road lead
ing from Prices Corner to the Ferris m
dustrial school by party or parties un-
known to this jury
The coroner's inquest having failed to
reveal the identity of the leaders. it is
thought the authorities will be unable to
proceed It was declared that a state .le-
tective had the names Of some of the lead
ers but this is evidently not true because
two days have elapsed since the burning
took place and no further arrests have
been made
The belief is growing here that no one
will ever be punished for the work of The

ME NEW BOOK.
Thirty Years in Washington by Mrs.
John A. Logan.

This beautifully illustrated volume is
a complete panorama of the countless
interests of the national capital as seen
by a famous woman who. as the wife of
an influential senator. a society leader,
and the close friend of every mistress
of the White House from Lincoln to the
present time has been in close touch
with the inner life of Washington, and
enjoyed rare privileges for studying the
mighty activities of the government.
such as no other person has ever before
been able to command.
Many distinguished men and women
have long urged Mrs. Logan to give this
volume to the world. She has received
letters from thousands unknown to her,
expressing the hope that it would be
written In her preface she says:
My first Introduction to life in the
city of Washington was in 1888, General
Logan being then member of congress,
and for more than thirty years L have
lived there almost continuously, an in
terested observer of passing events.
1t has been my aim to show my
readers, both by word and pictorial arr,
the wonders and the workings of the
elaborate machinery of the government
in motion, by leading them through the
great departments and explaining what
the army of busy men and women
workers do and how they do it, to show
them the works of art. the wonderful
collections of relics and cuTiOSltieS from
every part of the world, and the archI-
tectural glories and priceless treasures
of the capital to describe and explain
its giant activities: to take them
through the White House from the at
tic to the cellar, through every forbid
den room and to portray not only its
daily life, past and present, but it's bril-
liant social and official functions as
we'll: to tell the story of every president,
and of every woman who has ever
reigned in the White House; to visit
the treasury, the dead letter office. and
10 solve the marvels and mysteries OF
every government industry; in short, tc
present every interesting phase of life
and scenes in Washington"

Thousands of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to pro-
duce such Symptoms as cold feet and
hands, sick headache, palpitation of the
heart and heavy feelings in the stomach.
Then begins a series of experiments
with medicine. They take medicine for
sick headache. They take medicine for
nervous prostration, for palpitation of
the heart, for dyspepsia. None of these
medicines do any good because they do
not reach the cause of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh is the trouble. Sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
TEN, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do

SALOON MEN FINED.
Clements Liquor Sellers Fined for Selling
to Minor.

Anton Burg, one of the owners of
saloon at Clements, and Henry
Hoffman, his barkeeper, were up
before Judge Laudon last Friday
for selling liquor to minor The
complainant was W. P. Schmitt, a
Comfrey saloon keeper, who com
planned that he found his brother,
who is Is years old, in the Clements
saloon in an intoxicated condition
Tosclinch his accusation, he had a
half filled whiskey bottle which his
brother bought at the Clements dis
pensary.
Burg and Hoffman made no fight
atps;aiiifls5t the charge, butplead guilty
and in consideration of some of the
known circumstances and their plea
of guilty, were let off with fines and
costs amounting to $35. o. each.
The accused say that the Comfrey

Bros. and Warnke. the latter being
in the same business at Springfield,
He had got the enmity of the Com
frey man by enforcing collection,
and Schmitt had been heard to de-
clair that he would get even. After
getting his evidence, Schmitt went
to Springfield and offered to with
draw the complaint, so the Spring
field man asserts, for 500. Warn
Ike declined, believing it would be
cheaper for them to face the music
1t is understood that the Comfrey
man has laid himself open to a Grim
nal charge for attempting to extort
money, in case the Clements part es
can prove their story. In fixing the
fines, Judge Laudon gave the two
offenders to understand very plain
| ly that in case of repetition of sucl
an offense, they would not escape
with a light fine.
