Louisville Police Judge Says Chastiss-
ment is Sometimes Only Correct
Punishment for Women,

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 4.-Police
Judge John ]. Riley recognized the
old English custom OF allowing a hus.
band the privilege of whipping his
wife, and as a result Squire Smith,
who vas before the court on the
charge Of wife-beating, was dismiss
ed.
Attorney Morgan read the law as
formerly practiced In England and
spoke at length of the privilege of a
husband. The evidence In the case
on trial showed that Smith had over.
heard a conversation between his wife
Mrs. Annie Smith, and a man, and &C.
cordingly he administered a whipping
to her and admonished her not to talk
to other men in future.
When Smith was arrested he an
nounced his intention OF basing his
defense on a mans right to beat his
wife when she sufficiently offends. He
is a well Known farmer and was never
known before to strike his wife.
81 recognize the right of any huS.
band whose record is otherwise clear
said Judge Riley in dismissing the
case, "to chastise his wife where hel
conduct is offensive. There is no 9TH
er way by which he can censure hel
properly for certain acts discreditable
to herself and to her husband.

HEAVY CROP LOSS.
Floods Wash the Soil From
Larms in West and Southwest
River Valleys.

KANSAS Cry, JUNE 6.-All Kansas
rivers except the Walnut and the Yer
digris, In the southern part Of the
state continued rising slowly and are
driving families from the lowlands
around Arkansas City and CoiTeyvllle,
but it is not believed that they can go
much higher.
AS the waters subSide the great
amount OF damage wrought becomes
apparent. The continuous sweep OF
water oyer the farms in the past month
has practically ruined many OF then,
much OF the soil having been washed
away.
The water has been over the wheat,
corn and alfalfa fields so long that the
farmers believe that the crops are
practically ruined.
The loss to stock will be heavier than
at first expected, and, as most farmers
on the bottoms lost their cribs Of corn,
the stock that escaped drowning is suf-
fering for food.
Train service is still demoralized in
the southern part OF the state,
although 1T is gradually improving.

USE HYoMEI AT OUR RISK
Woodbridge & Purdy Will Pay for
Hyomei Treatment if 1t Fails to
Cure Catarrh.

The fact that Hyomei is so cOnve-
nient and complete and that it cures
by merely breathing and not by drug
ging the stomach, no DOUBT has had
considerable influence in creating con-
fidence in the treatment. When
Hyomei is used, every particle of air
that enters the head and throat and
goes to the lungs, is charged with
healing balsams that kill the germs Of
catarrh and soothe and heal the
irrltated mucous membrane.
Woodbridge & Purdy urge all who
are subject to catarrhal colds to get a
Hyomei outfit from them and use it
at their risk. No matter how skepti-
cal you may be, you cannot dispute
the fairness Of this offer. Use Hyo-
mel for a month, If, at the end Of
thirty days, you a say to Woodbridge
& Purdy, ut did not help" they will
refund your money without question
or argument

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE
Mi-o.na Costs You Nothing If 1t
Does Not Cure, Say Woodbridge &
Purdy.

Mi.o-na, the remarkable cure for
dyspepsia, has won fame by the un-
usual way In which 1t is sold. 1t is the
only way in which it is sold. 1t is the
only remedy offered for the cure OF
dyspepsia which costs the user alb
solutely nothing unless 1t cures.
Woodbridge s. Purdy, the popular
druggist, are selling a great many
packages Of Mi-o-na and with every
soc box is given their personal guaran'
tee to refund the money If Mlo-na
does not give satisfaction, you TO be
your own Judge as TO whether the
remedy helps or not.
Mi.o-na Is an unusual combination,
regulating the digestive organs and
removing irritation, congestion and In
flammation from the stomach, liver
and intestlnes. 1t enables those
organs to extract from the food all
that goes to make good, rich blood
firm muscle, steady nerves and q sound
body.
SMl-o-na puts the digestive system
into proper working order, gives
health, strength and good flesh, and is
the only natural cure for indigestion
Even In chronic cases, where life is
one long drawn out pain, this remedy
will effect a cure. 1t is the simplest
and most reliable Of all remedies
Just one small tablet before or after
meals and you can eat what you want
and when you want with no distress
II Mi-o-na does not do all that Il
claimed for it, Woodbridge & Purdy

SOCIAL FEUD BETWEEN woMEN
RESPONSIBLE FOR DEKEENs
NOMINATION FOR COVER
NOR OF ILLINOIS.
ALSO FOR MACHINE WRECK.
Governors Wife Said Mrs. Lowden
Will Never Be Mistress of Execu-
Mansion if Richard Can Pre-
vent It'll the Hall Daily
But Never Spoke.

CHICAGO, Ill, June A social
feud between the wives Of Governor
Richard Yates and Frank o. LOwden
is declared to have forced the nomina-
tion OF Charles S. Deneen for Cover
nor OF Illinois, and incidentally wreck.
ed the regular Republican machine 10
the State.
Just how the feud started is not
known definitely, but 1t Is said that
the Governors wife was piqued at
Mrs. Lowden, who was formerly Miss
Florence Pullman, because the latter
did not show her as much social atten-
ton as Mrs. Yates believed she de-
served.
Richard will never help make
Frank Lowden Governor" Mrs. Yates
is reported to have said to a friend
after the convention met May IL.
To another she said: 'Mrs. Lowden
will never be mistress OF the Execu-
tive Mansion II the Yates forces can
stop Mr.. Lowdeu's nomination"
1t was noticeable during the CON
vention that the two women held
aloof from each other, although both
we're in the hall daily, while the wives
OF the other candidates who were pre-.
sent chatted together, the best Of
friends.
Both Yates and LOwden belonged t.
the "orzanization'' and we're expected
to hold together.

A $4,000 SADDLE.
One of the Beautiful Things Exhibit.
ed at the Worlds Fair.

ST. LOUIS, June What is regard.
ed as the finest saddle in the world is
on exhibition at the Worlds Fair. 1t
cost S., 900 and was made in Nevada
by G. S. CARA, Every bit of engrav-
ing, decorating and sewing on this
beautiful saddle was done by hand
the time Of several men having been
occupied for six months.
The leather used is Of extra fine
quality from Santa Rosa, Cal. Many
ounces Of gold and silver have been
used in the trimmings, and buttons.
The saddle is made over a regulation
trace with a wide seat, padded with
bufI leather. On top Of the horn is
the Missouri state seal, surrounded
with twenty-four gold buttons. In a
half circle, on front Of the seat, are
seven engraved silver dollars with
gold facing. The center one contains
a picture of President Roosevelt while
the first two on each side contain
horse heads and the last ones gold
stars with a liberty head In the center.
The fork Of the tree is bound with
pure silver, the seal Of Nevada Being
in the center, surrounded by gold
stars. Just below 1t is a large gold
engraved Knights emblem.
The edge Of the seat is bound with
II inch border Of silver, fastened with
100 little gold buttons, while on the
real is a large half globe OF the world
in gold. Other decorations comprise
an American eagle and shield, a figure
of "Justice," a California bear and
other figures in silver and gold.
The stirrups are silver trimmed With
a coat Of arms and shield. The saddle
buttons are silver stars. The bride
is n mass OF engraved silver. The
stamping Of the leather is most
art~istically done and the entire saddle
is the work Of art and skill.

Seventeenth Week of the War.

AS the seventeenth week Of war
comes to a close, the fall Of Port Ar
thur is expected to come soon. Some
reports have II that the attack al
ready has been begun, but this Is not
Substantiated.
Gen. Kuropatkin has been under
pressure, caused by the popular feel
ing In Russia, TO go 10 the relief Of the
besieged stronghold, but his judgment
is that this would enable Gen. Kuroki
TO close In on his rear, and though it
has been reported that he has marched
south, 1t is not believed.
Among the clouded bits Of informa-
ton sitting through concerning the
movements Of the japanese is found
the fact that a third force of $1,000
men has left the mikado's country for
the scene of hOstilities.
The news anne Monday by the way
Of Washington, but the destination Of
the troops Is not revealed.
One battle is known to have been
fought in the last seven days. 1t Oc-
Cured Monday, and the news received
in the last day or two shows that it
was bloody. Two hundred japanese
were moved down with lances by a
Cossack force under Gen. SamsonofT at
Vagenfuehu.
Last Saturday a japanese detach-
ment and 1000 Oossacks fought at
All Yang Pein Men, northeast Of Feng
Huang Cheng, and the Japs lost four
men killed and twenty-eight wound
ed.
The japanese have been advancing
on Saimatsza, north of the Feng Hu-
ang Cheng base, and falling back from
Siuyen, to the southwest. and st.
Petersburg takes both movements TO.
indicate the desire Of the enemy to.
draw away Kuropatkln and screen the
Port Arthur operations.
The losses in the battle Of Nan Shan
hill have been reported officially.
The japanese lost 4304 men, 81 Of
fcers and 713 men killed and 100 Off
GERS and 3640 men wounded.
The Russians lost 80 officers and 700
men in the Kin Chow fighting.

A S ENGINEER.
Frank Heckler Has Been in the Ser
vice for IS Years.

The following item In a recent issue
OF the Cedar City Callawegian will be
OF interest to the many friends of pas
senger engineer Frank Heckler of the
hrgnch OF the G. s. A. railroad be-
tween Mexico and Cedar City:
IL is about Frank Heckler-every-
body knows Frank--engineer on the
the c. 4 A. branch running from
Cedar City to Mexico. Mr.. Heckler
began work for the Chicago < Alton
in 1868, thirty-six years ago, as hostler
in the round house at Mexico. After
eight or ten years service he was pro-
NOTED to fireman, In which capacity
he served until 1872, when he was
again promoted, this time TO engin-
eer. Mr.. Heckler says when this APP
pointment came he knew nothing,
comparatively, OF the mechanism OF a
locomotive. But he eourageously as
sumed the responsibility. Fortune
smiled upon him and II was two years
and more before any serious disar-
rangement OF his engine occurred. BY
this time he had famillarized himself
with the makeup Of the iron horse,
and when his first break down took
place he was perfectly at home and
knew how to adjust matters.
So well acquainted are the people
along the line with this veteran engln-
Ger that they never think OF calling
the train by number when desiring to
know whether it is ON time Flows
Heckler?n SIS Heckler late to-day9"
are almost invariably the terms used.
Frank Heckler knows every man,
woman and child along his route, and
he never passes them anywhere, no
matter at what rate Of speed he may
be going, without saluting them by a
wave OF his hand. 1t doesn't matter
to him-milliOnaire or bod carrier
the sign of recognition is never for
gotten. He is as plain as an old shoe,
courteous always, and numbers bis
friends by the score, from the hum
blest citizen to the governor of Mis-
| souri,

I4O YEARS OLD.
Oldest Woman in the World Dies at
New London.

Rachel Taylor, the oldest negro
woman 10 Missouri, and perhaps in
the world, died at New London, Mo-,
last week. The Rails county Times
in speaking OF her death says:
Her relatives in thiscounty wrote to
the defendants OF her former owners
In Kentucky regarding her age, and
from the best information they could
gather she was close 10 lao years Of
age.
She said was present when General
Washington was made President the
first time and saw the people put
leaves on the ground for him 10 walk
on. Her second sight had come to
her and she could sew and thread a
needle without the aid Of glasses. At
the time OF her death she had cut an
entire new set Of teeth. 1t is said she
was the mother Of 10 children, the
youngest being over so years Of age.

CHOLERA IN The
PHILIPPINES
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE DY-
ING OF THE DREADED
DISEASE.
Are MOST ALARMING
Efforts Of the Authorities to Keep the
Epidemic Out Of Manila Were
Unsuccessful There Are
100000 Deaths
in a Year.

MANILA, p. l., June 0.-An epidem-
ic Of cholera Is sweeping the Philip
pine Islands and the inhabitants are
dying by hundreds In many parts OF
the interior. Extraordinary efforts
are put forth by the health depart
ment to keep the scourge from Mani
la, but despite the combined labors OF
the city and health officials, the dis
ease seems to have gained a grip on
the city. Great alarm is felt.
The cholera has been raging in the
archipelago for nearly a year, but Is
growing decidedly worse with the ad-
vance of summer. Efforts have been
made to keep the news OF The epidemic
from reaching the United States be-
cause of the alarm 1t would create
there for the many Americans now 10
the Islands. Reports that have been
compiled to show that the number of
cases have been more than 10000 and
the number Of deaths exceed 100000.
Mr.. Worcester, United States Com
missioner, who has done good work in
improving the water supply to save
Manila from devastation by the
plague, says:
'Many towns were without physi-
clans or other persons capable OF rec
ognizing cholera, so that numerous
cases were not properly diagnosed.
Many of the municipalities had no
sanitary organization, and no StatiS-
ties are available concerning the NOR
tally among the pagan tribes. In
numerous instances the cases were
concealed and false statements made
as to the cause of death, so that Off
clal returns, where they exist, cannot
be accepted as complete.
1.-THE total cases in Manila to date
have been 5,l12, with 1888 deaths.
This is a case mortality Of 77.2 per
cent. In the present year there have
occurred in Manila 1,179 cases, with
s94 deaths, giving a case mortality Of
1853 per cent. There have been 5000
cases and 2,56S deaths among men, and
1859 cases and 1884 deaths among
women. In fourteen cases the sex was
uot noted. These figures show that
the number of men affected is about
twice that Of women. This is due
doubtless to the greater exposure to
infection of the former while working
on the water front and eating in the
small shops where food is sold to
laborers. The cases in Manila have
teen distributed by races as follows:

THE Moberly mo- Democrat edi-
torially says: 'Prof. d. A. Mcmillan
has just been elected superintendent
Of the public schools Of Mexico for the
twentieth time. His labors in that
position have been consecutive but
for a year or two In a college, during
which time the city had an opportun-
ity to experiment, and insisted that
Prof. Mcmillan come back to his old
post and he has remained there ever
since. The citizens are wise and
fortunate in having such a man at the
head OF their school, for he has few If
any superiorS in the State, as the
schools Of Mexico amply evidence"
