WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

The proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weak ness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure.

May Make Test Case.

In the criminal court of Jefferson County this afternoon a local attor- ney representing a negro prisoner charged with murdering another ne- gro sought to have an indictment quashed upon the grounds that not a single negro was on the County grand jury, which returned the true bill. The plea which was based on the four teenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States was overruled by the presiding judge. If the jury finds the negro guilty. the case will be ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of this State and probably to the Supreme Court of the United States to deter mine whether or not it Is necessary for grand juries to the several counties to have negro members.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 4.-Harry

ence Nesbit were married this evening
at the home of Rev. William l.. Nc
EVAN, pastor of the Third Presbyterian

SITTING OF CLAIMS
Washington Authorities Have New
Plan as to Dominican Finances

WASHINGTON, April Although
no positive plan has yet been accepted
as the basis for the distribution of the
Dominican customs revenues which
will accumulate in the city National
bank between the present time and
the meeting of the senate next fall, a
project is being considered with favor
for a sitting out of the claims of all
nations against Dominica by an inter
national commission, whose judgment
as to the real merits of the claims shall
be final. Charges that some of these
claims are either fraudulent or vastly
inflated would thus be thoroughly eX-
amined and the distribution of Domin-
lean customs moneys could be made
upon the basis of actual merit. 1t is
believed that such an arrangement
would remove the last objection to the
working out of the present collection
scheme on the part of any European
power.

BOSTON, April 4.-The committee Of
Congregational clergymen, who are
protesting against the acceptance by
the American board of commissioners
for foreign missions, of John D. Rock
efeller's gift of 100000, will have to
conduct their crusade unassisted by the
prudential committee of the American
board. After a protraeted conference
today between representatives of the
protesting clergymen's committee and
three members of the prudential COM
mittee. the latter refused to join in
the protestants in their movement to
bring before the Congregational clergy
of the country the reasons advanced
for or against the acceptance of the
gift.
The protestants will continue their
agitation independently. Late tonight
their committee completed its state
ment which will be sent broadcast to-
morrow. 1t is addressed to the Cor
porate Members of the American Board
and the Ministers of Our Church."

The protest is on the conviction that

thoughts represents methods that are re-

not disregard the effect of the association
which his name, in view of facts that are
widespread and notorious, unfortunately
carries with it. The church cannot af-
ford to enter into any relation that will
weaken or discredit it in the fulfillment
of its task. The main question is one of
the moral prestige and power of the
church.

arising from tainted money can be easily

NEW YORK, April 4.-Senator Fred

mittee may present to the legislature
viii prohibit a corporation from ac-
quiring majority of the stock of any
corporation in the same line of busi-
ness and continuing the corporations
controlled as an alleged independent
corporation.
THE evil which we have observed so
far said the senator, shows that the
Consolidated Gas company continues
the alleged corporate existence of COM
panies that it controls and pays mu-
nifcent salaries for many useless off,
GERS and employees, and naturally the
consumers pay the bill. This investi-
cation, no matter where it leads or
what may be developed, cannot be

SIOUX CITY, Ia, April 4.-Francis
+. Richardson seven years ago was a
wealthy farmer, near Poplar, Audubon
county. He loaned money and travelled
among his clients. loaning and collect
ing. often having several thousand dol
lars on his person. On one trip he
disappeared and seven years passed
before any trace was secured of him.
Michael Nelson, a neighbor, was sus-
pected of the murder because he and
Richardson had had a quarrel, but
there was no evidence. About a year
ago a brother Of Richardson became
interested in spiritualism. He demand
ed that the mediums help him commu-
nicate with the spirit OF his departed
brother. Ten days ago he secured the
services of Mrs. E. A. Baker of Des
Moines, a medium, who said she hoped
TO induce the spirit Of the dead man to
manifest itself. She spent three days
in the effort and announced that the
burial place of Richardson had been
revealed to her. She directed to dig
under-a certain tree at some distance.
1t was done, and the bones, clothing
and pocket trinkets of Richardson were
found.
Despite efforts to suppress the facts,
they were soon known, and suspicion
again pointed to Nelson. He early
knew that he was watched and mani
tested great concern. When he was
told by a neighbor that Spiritualist
communicated with Richardson's spirit
and that II was expected another COM
munication would soon be received in
dicating who was the murderer, Mel
son was pane stricken. For two days
he wandered about like a mad man;
then. going to his home early in the
morning, he stabbed his two little
daughters, aged 10 and IS years, to
death. Nelson wrote a note telling
where his body would be found. He

difficulty, which has been allowed to OBJ

as notorious and typical instance of an
evil element in our national life. How
ever formidable may be the practical
difficulties in the way of exercising this
responsibility, they must not obscure the
ethical demand. Balancing the mon
etary considerat tons can but be the half
way consideration in any moral obligation.
Where we must end is shown by the
answer of the prudential committee. We
must end in the declaration OF complete
responsibility for the sources from which
we accept gifts. Their words are: THE
principle on which this policy rests is
the belief that our responsibility begins
