THEY ATE POISONED BREAD
A Territory Woman MistOOk
Arsenic for Baking Powder
and Five Are Dead.

Cayuga, |. T., Feb. 26-The last
Of the Crawford family who were
poisoned by installing arsenic for
baking powder died last night. P.
S. Crawford purchased some arsenic
for the purpose OF mixing it with
medicine for his hogs and placed it
In an empty baking powder can His
wife, not knowing about the arsenic,
thought II was baking powder and
made bread with it. The result was
that Mrs. Crawford and her mother
died that day, a daughter died the
next day and a son later, and the
husband, p. S. Crawford suecumbed
last night.
Bert Crawford is the only surviving
member OF the family. He went to
work without his breakfast and miss
ed the poison, otherwise his fate
would probably have been the same
as the Others.

Dick TO Succeed Hanna.

Washington, Feb. 26 1t was adj
mitted by Senator Foraker here last
night that Representative Charles A
Dick will succeed Senator Hanna in
the United States Senate. The result
is satisfactory to Senator Foraker.
Mr.. Dick has secured the place by he
assistance OF Governor Herrick and
Boss" George B. Cox, of Cincinnati,
This probably makes Mr.. Dick strong
enough to divide honors with the
older senator. 1t is understood that
his policy will be to work with Sena-
tor Foraker on friendly terms. He
will be political manager and Sena-
tor Foraker will look after legislative
matters.

Claim Harbor Entrance
Is Entirely Blocked

London, February 26.-Admiral
Togo has now made FIVE boisterous
visits to Port Arthur. Of the last
nothing is known save what is con.
tanned In Gen. Plugs dispatch, while
all that can be reported concerning
the next to the last visit comes from
Russian official sources. According
to the Tien Tsin correspondent Of
the Standard, Russian officials there
say the Japanese attack on Tuesday
and Wednesday aimed to destroy
the Russian Transports, which had
arrived at Port Arthur, with mines
and torpedoee.
An italian news agency PROCESSES
to have learned from Che Foo that
the four vessels sunk at Port Arthur
we're Russian. One that foundered
IN the entrance to the harbor blocks
the fair way against the passage OF
the large ships. The agency declared
that the japanese entirely snccseded
in their object and will return and
sink more hulks.

Convicted of Murder to
Which Another ConfesSes

Coucil Blnffs, Ia, Feb. 27.-Sheriff
Roberts OF Kirksville, Mo-, arrived
here to-day to investigate certain
confession OF murder made to him
last week by Matt Collins, prisoner
in the Kirksville jail. On arriving
the sheliff discovered that William
Rogers had Just been convicted in
the circuit court here OF the murder
and is now awaiting sentence The
authorities will review the case.
tNearly one year ago Saloonist
Forney of Council Bluffs, while re
4isting two hold-up men, was shot
and killed. Rogers was arrested
some time later, and through a
strong chain OF circumstantial evi.
dence was yesterday found guilty of
murder In the second degree.
According to Sheriff Roberts, sew
eral week ago he arrested Matt Col.
Inns. Collins appeared very much
worried, and last week called Roberts
into bis cell and confessed to having
killed Saloonist Forney, who resisted
when he ordered him to hold up his
hands. The night following the con-
lesion Collinsimprovised a knife and
severed the arteries in his wrists. He
was discovered before he bled to
death, however.

THE FAULT OF THE JEWS.
Russia's Uuderhanded Slap at Ameri-
can Hebrews.

NoH hSUlNho-
st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-The
Novoe Vremya publishes this morn
ing a long leading article regarding
the relation existing between the
United States and Russia. In con-
sidering the unfriendly maniiesta-
tions against the latter in the United
States the Novoe Vremya argues
that distinction must be made be-
tween the people and the govern
ment. The paper attributes the
agitation in the press to a campaign
engineere by the Jews, who, it has
been said, even intended building a
battle ship for the miksdo. The pa
per insists, however, that the tradi-
tional friendship for Russia occupies
firm position in the American mind
and heart and that the people can
not really prefer the Japanese to the
Russians, who never had harmed
them.
The Novoe Vremya, on the other
hand, contends that without reason
the Washington government has
been unfriendly to Russia, and COM
pares the most brilliant feat OF the
State department-the telegraphic
ratification OF the Chinese open port
treaty-to telegraphic marriages,
which, it says, sometimes are prac-
ticed in America
But it ia idle, the article goes on,
to talk now OF sending United States
consuls to Manchuria. dissatisfied
with his success, the Secretary OF
State, Mr.. Hay, undertook to secure
the naturalization, the inviolability
OF the administration, and the entity
OF China. Diplomatists, lexicog-
raphers and publicists were in doubt
as to what all this meant, and Secre.
tary Hay kindly announced that he
did not care to have his proposal de-
fined in detail. The article concludes:
"The American government has
taken a position which illaccords
with the former good relations with
Russia and we are convinced that the
conduct OF the United States gun
boat Vicksburg in refusing to pro.
tect and receive drowning Russians
will not meet with wide sympathy in
America.

Refuses to Invite Bryan.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 2T.-The low
er house voted down a resolution
offered by Mr. Foster, OF Warren, in
viting William J. Bryan TO visit the
Mississippi Legislature and deliver
an address.
The resolution was iocular in tone,
being predicated on the voting down
OF a resolution yesterday inviting an
address by Grover Cleveland, and
reciting that President Cleveland
placed an eI Confederate in his Cabi-
net, whereas Mr.. Bryan refused to
vote for Mr.. Crisp, Of Georgia, for
Speaker, because he was an exon
federate soldier. After theresolution
was tabled the matter was ordered
expunged from the journal.

Port Arthur Damaged.

Ghefoo, Feb. 2f-Arrivals from
Port Arthur tell OF the naval battle
there early in the morning of Feb
rusry "a. They say the Port Arthur
fort had five guns silenced.
The damuge to the town was
serious. One shell struck amid the
anchorage Of iunks, blowing many
to atoms. The Newsky works and
the engine works we're struck three
times. Several shells fell just short
Of the arsenal, striking the mud wall
surrounding it and doing no dam
age. Judging from this the Japan
ese evidently attempted to destroy
the arsenal. Several guards were
killed by bursting shells. Civilians
took refuge in the new part OF Port
Arthur.

BILL PENSIONS NEGROES.
Servants of Mississippi Soldiers
to Share in State B0unties.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 27.-The lower
house has given a deathblow to the
Cavett bill, which seeks to deprive
negroes who we're servants to eonfed-
crate soldiers in the civil war from
participation in the state pension
distribution.
The clause WAS knocked out by a
very decisive majority, a. Was also
the amendment offered by the CON-
mittee on pensions, which provided
that the negroes should receive only
one-half OF the sum allowed to par
tieipants in the nonpreierred class.
Both propositions were decidedly
unpopular, large majority OF mem.
bers believing that the negro should
receive full recognition for faithful
service during the civil war.
The bill as passed by the house
creates 5000 preferred class for the
soldiers who are totally disabled from
wounds OF injuries sustained during
the war, and a SO class for those
who We're partly injured. The boards
OF pension examiners, composed ot
ex confederate soldiers in each coun,
ty, are abolished, and the boards o
supervisors, sherifis, and chancery
clerks substituted in lieu thereof.

that poker had become a fad and
that many quiet game has been
played with serious loss OF confec

B RADFIELD'S
Female REGULATOR

for young girls on the threshold of woman
hood is invaluable. When they become
pale and languid, the eyes dull, aching
head, feet and hands cold, appetite gone
or abnormal, obstructed periods and pain
full menses, and their systems generally
run down, they need tonic, building up
and their blood cleansed.
Brad6eld's Female Regulator for women
is particularly valuable and useful owing
to its tonic properties and as a regulator
of the menstrual flows. Painful, obstruct-
cd and suppressed menstruation is perma-
nently relieved and all diseases peculiar
to her genital organs are cured by it.
Regulator clears the complexion, bright
ems the eye, sharpens the appetite, re-
moves muddy and blotched conditions of
the skin and cures sick headache at once.
