Bombardme Aimed at the Arsenal
and Torpedo Depot.

Bomba rdment Aimed at the Arsenal
and Torpedo Depot.
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE Japanese
legation has received the following ca
blegram from Toxic:
Commander of naval artillery re-
ports that bombardment on the 18th
was principally aimed at arsenal and
torpedo depot at Tiger Tail and at
steamboats, in its vicinity. Torpedo
depot ablaze one hour. Three ships
were destroyed and one was sunk, be-
side building greatly damaged.
Indirect bombardment upon Sevasto-
pol staying outside harbor was sus-
pended, owing to bad weather, which
prevented observation. Togo reports
torpedo boat fiotillas attacked twice
Sevastopol on the night Of 18th and
thrice on the night of the 18th. The
result is uncertain. Each time they
met enemy's fierce fire and one Of our
torpedo boats was disabled but towed
back, while three received one shot
each. Our total casualties, only three
men wounded"

Carnegie Explains He Is Really III,
and That's His Only Reason.
New York. Dec 14.-That Andrew
Carnegie is willing to appear against
Mrs. Chadwick when his health has
sufficiently improved was made clear
in a statement given out to-day at Mr..
Carnegie's residence by his secretary.
"Mr. Carnegie's only reason for not
going to Cleveland at this time has
already been given" said the secre-
tary. "His health will not admit of
his taken the trip, save at considerable
risk, as his physician has already said
he is suffering from lumbago.
''He has been willing to make a de-
position at his home, and later, on his
return from Florida, he will lend his
assistance and be present to testify at
any subsequent proceeding, such as
trial, whenever his testimony is needed.
His one and only reason for not going
to Cleveland now is that he is unable
to stand the journey in this weather."

VICTIMS, TOO, ARE
To ACCOUNT FOR 1T
BOTH BECKWITH AND SPEAR
AS WELL AS MRS. CHADWICK ARE
UNDE RINDICTMENTs.

Five Indictments Returned by the
Federal Grand Jury Against the
Woman, and Four Each Against
President Beckvith and Cashier
Spear of the Bank Mrs. Chadwick
Broke-Statement of Beckwfth
Was Submitted to the Grand Jury.
Cleveland O., Dec. 14.-The federal
grand jury returned five indictments
against Mrs. Chadwick, three of which
charge her with aiding and abetting
officers of national bank to defraud
the institution, and two charge her
with conspiring against the United
States.
Four indictments were returned
against President Beckwith of the
Oberlin Bank, two charging him with
misapplication of the funds of ma
tional bank; one with conspiracy to
commit an offense against the United
States and one with certifying checks
when no funds were on hand.
Indictments were returned also
against Cashier Spear. They are the
same as those against President Beck
with.
Statement of BecIxwith.
The first witness before the grand
jury was United States Marshal Chan
dler, who presented to the jury the
sworn statement of President Beck
with. This is the document which has
been called the Confession" of Beck
with. 1t sets forth in effect that there
were two notes of $5O0.000 each, both
signed in the name of Andrew Carnegie,
and Mrs. Chadwick declared positively,
both to him and Cashier Spear, that
she personally saw Mr.. Carnegie sign
his name to both notes.
1t was also set forth in the state
ment that New York attorney, who
claimed to be a representative of
Andrew Carnegie, had declared to
Beckwith in Oberlin that the notes were
genuine.
| The endorsement of the notes by
| Beckwith and Spear was admitted, but
the statement declared neither of them
| had any idea that they were to be
uSed IN the manner IN Which Mrs
Chadwick handled them
Relied ON Reynolds, Too.
Mr.. BeckwitI1's statement declared
that they received from Iri Reynolds
| information to the effect that every
| thing was all right and that large
amount of securities belonging to Mrs
Chadwick were held by the Wade Park
Bank. This encouraged him to make
loans to Mrs. Chadwick.
Mr.. Beckwith's statement set forth
the fact that Mrs Chadwick had Sc
cured large loans from other bankers
and had met them promptly. There
was no reason to believe that she
would not treat loans made by the
Oberlin bank in the same manner.
Several other witnesses were heard.
District Attorney Sullivan handed in
the documents, which he had previous
ly prepared, and in five minutes there
after Mrs. Chadwick, Beckwith and
Spear had been indicted.

BACON SAID CLYATT
DID NOT FORCE THEM,
Argument Before the Supreme Court
I'm the Peonage Case.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The argument
in the peonage case OF Clyatt VS.. the
United States was continued in the
Supreme Court to-day by Attorney
General Moody for the government and
Senator Bacon for Clyatt.
Senator Bacon contended that the
record in the case showed that the
negro men whom Clyatt is accused OF
holding in peonage went TO his place
OF their own accord and argued that
II there had been any peohage at all
Il had been voluntary and was not
punishable under the law.
The attorney general contended that
involuntary peonage comprehends ana
includes voluntary peonage and that
either species Of the practice Is IN con-
travention OF the Lava, and the federal
constitution and opposed 10 the spirit
of our institutions.

the Stale committee are ofiice-holders.
Well. IL this is wrong 1t is a wrong OF
which both parties are guilty. We
warrant that the city of Waterville
does not paw its mayor salary to
travel over the state making political
speeches; it pays him to look after it's
municipal affairs. And if he pleads
that it is such a little one," and that
he does not neglect his magisterlal
duties in seeking election to higher
office, the answer is that 1t makes no
difference in principle whether the
salary is small or large, while as to
neglect of duty the others could doubt
less claim with as good reason as he
that there had been no neglect. If
there are few Office-holders on the
Democratic state committee 1t is no
doubt for reasons over which they nave
no control. But over here in Saco Is
another Democratic mayor, perhaps not
on the State committee list but surely
on the Democratic ticket and working
with might and main for election to
Congress. Why should that be any
better in principle than serving on the
committee and working for the election
OF somebody else?

There is no CLINT on the spear. no blaze on
the shield,
No flushing of helmet, nor the cleaning
For the shaft of each weapon is with
pearl inlaid;
Their standards are glist ming with the
dew of the dawn,
And growing in splendor with the grow
ing of morn.
And there's music far sweeter than the
clarion horn
'Tis the life-giving music of the rustIing
corn.
How stately, and majestic, and graceful
| Are the soldiers of peace in their mantIes
of green;
Ger the brow of each soldier waves a tall,
tasseled plume
An emblem of plenty is the straw -nodding
bloom;
From land of the praries and realms OF
the morn
They are coming. their arms brimming
with golden corn,
And there's music far sweeter than the
huntSman's horn
'Tis the life-giving music of the rustIing
corn.
They are marching abreast where the
dim skyline dies.
The grand armies of peace, born OF earth
and the skies;
Meath their ribbons and pennons there
are no ugly scars,
The trophies of victories, the red enSignS
of wars.
ead-bearers for the nations more fruit
full than trees,
The tread of their legion is heard across
Keeping step to the music of pienty's full

1t may be that "TOm" Taggart is the
tremendous campaigner that he has
been advertised to be, but the Indian
apOlis News calls attention to some
figures which point in the contrary
direction. Mr.. Taggart was state
chairman in Indiana in 1892. Two
years before, the Democrats had car
ried the state by about 10000. But In
1892. although the conditions generally
We're favorable to the Democrats, their
majority dropped to 5000. In 1894
Taggart was again chairman; and that
by more than $4,000.

That Valuation argument"

What n boomerang there was in that
Democratic argument" that the state
assessors had lacked up the valua-
tion of our farming towns for the
purpose of bringing the State valuation
ND to n fictitious figure. The facts are
that from 1890 to 1902 the valuation
placed by local assessors increased
81. 3.231 &c: while the State valuation on
the cities, towns and plantations went
up but s36.4l4,130. Thus it is apparent
that the State assessors instead of
"jacking-up" values on Names cities
and towns have been cutting down the
valuation which the cities and towns
placed upon themselves. During the
period from 1890 to 1902 the local
assessors thought their towns had
grown 20 per cent. but the state
assessors made an increase of but 12k
per cent. Moreover $50 farming towns.
scattered over the State. show that
since 1890 their valuation has been
decreased s45lS,45 These are towns
of the farming type-towns which have
not been materially affected by village
growth, by increase or decrease of
manufacturing industries or the build
ing of summer cottages. They are
typical farming towns with an average
valuation of over 100000 In 1890 their
local assessors put their valuation at
$45. 900, ,2GS; the State valuation was fixed
at 50.S69,960. In 1902 the local
$43.460,51s and the State assessors at
$46.351, ,52s. Thus while the local as
SCISSORS decreased the total valuation of
these $50 towns s., 2,439,752 Cor 6 per cent
the State assessors decreased the
valuation s4.51S.434 Cor per cent }
Even more striking is the showing of
a still smaller farming towns. The
local assessors reduced the valuation OF
these towns from s6545, $50 to s6. O96. .224
while the State valuation dropped from
$7.759.9s1 to $6.S4O,112. The local as
SCISSORS decreased their figures but $449,-
1885, but the State Assessors cut their
figures $s19,S69. This is a decrease OF
only per cent. by the local assessors
and decrease Of u per cent. by the
State assessors. The tables as pub
lished in the Journals campaign

He had been telling me that 1t might
be the coffee but said No, I have
been drinking coffee all my life and it
cannot be- But after this 1 thought I
would try and do without it and drink
hot water. I did this for several days
but got tired of the hot water and went
to drinking coffee and as soon as
began coffee again I was nervous again.
This proved that it was the coffee that
caused my troubles.
1--WE had tried Postum but had not
made it right and did not like 1t, but
now 1 decided to give it another trial
SO I read the directions on the package
carefully and made it after these
directions and it was simply delicious,
SO we quit coffee for good and the
results are wonderful. Before, I could
not sleep but now go to bed and sleep

work hard and can walk miles.
Nervous headaches are gone my heart
does not bother me any more like it did
and don't have any Of the smothering
