Washington, oct. 2G.-Minister Be-

canal question and that tho commit
tee having the matter in charge has
submitted a report upon the conces-

The dispatch is ambiguous and the
department cannot say whether the
committee has recommended the in
valuation of the concession and re-

which was paid for it, or whether it
favors confirming their concession.
The report is to be printed and dis

The board interpreted the voters to
mean that the $4,000 voted was for the
building proper. That is rlhe walls,
the building itself, and that the heat
ing furniture, cement walks, etc. were
all to be paid for outside.
No one in Denison finds fault with
this proposition as j. was felt that
$4,000 was entirely too small = sum
1t is we'll however that the people
should know that the court house will
cost them not less than 100000 before
it is ready for use.
The hoard made its greatest mis-
take in selecting too ambitious plans
Architects know this common human
failing and cater to it. The board ao-
vertised for plans for building that
could be completed for 1000 This
was one oil the requirements, but the
board selected Il building which ex
perience has shown cannot possibly be
built for that money. After this had
been proven by the bids, and by the
failure of Mr.. Sparks to file his bond,
the board, instead of asking their
architect to submit less ambitious
plans advertised for bids on the same old
plans and as result we have the bob
tailed abortion that is about to be per-
petrated on the voters and tax payers

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges-
ton. 1t is a scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic. are not only
traceable to- but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails Of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting 1t up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course Of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

Supt. posey Acquitted.

ID. d. Posey, superintendent OF
the county convict farm who was
tried last Friday on the charge OF
cruelty and unlawfully whipping
Geo. Wood, convict in his Gus
tody, was acquitted. The defense
set up by Posey was in substance
as follows: Wood, who made a
similar charge against Posey a
short time ago, had been instruct
ed by his former counsel, Mr..
McNair, if he should be mistreat-
ed again to leave the farm and re-
port to him. AS Posey failed to
whip him or give him just cause
for running away, he conceived
the novel idea of entering into a
conpsiracy with a negro convict
ON the farm to administer a severe
flogging at the back of the field,
then running away and charging
it On the superintendent. A suit
against Posey or the county for
damages was also suggested, and
the proposition made to the darkey
to divide up what was recovered
for his part in the transaction.
Wood is represented as having
slipped Posey's big three-inch
leather strap from his quarters
the night before the fiogging.
Though no blood was drawn,
marks of the strap we're plainly
visible on Woods person the day
of the trial, showing that the
whipping had been faithfully adj
ministered by some one.
All of this was proved on the
testimony of the negro who swore
that he did the whipping, backed
by circumstantial evidence of the
superintendent and his brother,
Sam, and on this showing Justice
Hoffman discharged Supt. Posey
and Wood was returned to the
farm.
The State was represented by
A. G. McNair and the defense by
Thos. Brady.
To say the least, the defense
was a most remarkable one, and
if the testimony of the negro wit
ness is true, Wood certainly has
much more sense and reason and
is much worse man than he has
ever before been given credit for
by the public.

Rankin Nettles, who runs a
market at the Ice House, was
knocked insensible last Sunday
evening in front of the steam
laundry with a spade handle in
the hands of Emile LaBoyd, an
employee of the market. Nettles
received two blows on the head
and one on the shoulder blade,
and the blood flowed freely from
his ears. According to informa-
ton gathered from Mr.. Jones and
others, Nettles, who had been
drinking heavily of late, and is
oyerbearing when under the in
tiuence of liquor, had quarrel
with LaBoyd at the market last
Thursday and attempted to shoot
him. This caused 1aBoyd, who
had been boarding at Nettles'
house, to secure board elsewhere.
Sunday morning Nettles mott
fed LaBoyd if he was not going
to board at his house any longer
to come up and get his. things,
promising at the same time that if
he did SO he would not be mo-
Tested. When he went to Nettles'
house about 1 O'Clock Sunday he
was covered with a double barrel
shot gun in Nettles' hands, cooked,
and subjected to severe abusing
and felt himself lucky when he at
last managed to get away with his
life.
That evening late, Nettles came
down town, still under the in
fluence of liquor, without his gun,
however, and LaBoyd, it seems,
seeing his opportunity, seized a
spade handle and proceeded to get
even as above described.
Soon after the attack on Nettles,
LaBoyd surrendered to the au-
thorities and gave bond for his
appearance.
1ATER-Nettles, whose skull,
it seems was fractured, fingered
all Monday and Tuesday, in an
Unconscious condition, and late
yesterday evening breathed his
last. LaBoyd, who was released
on 500 bond a short while after
the encounter with Nettles, disap-
peared Sunday night when it was
believed that Nettles was not Sc
riously hurt, and is still missing.
