A German editor accused the minis ter of public worship. education and justice of gambling. The editor was prosecuted for libel. The minister ex- plained that he only played the Ameri- can game of poker, which was played by many of the best Americans, and was not gambling. The court took his view of it, and the unfortunate editor had to go to jail for year. It would be interesting to know just what that court considers. gambling, for his idea of it must be good deal different from the Americans. says an exchange. In this country a minister of public wor- ship, education and justice wouldn't be considered the proper person for the job if it was known that he played the game much. Possibly the Judges idea of it would have been different if the situation had been reversed and the minister had accused the editor of being a gambler. If he would hear some of the stories of poker games inat have taken place in this country he might conclude that there was some gambling connected with 1t That edi- tor will have the sympathy of every American who, has ever played the game.

 Mr. Jefferson's five sons, score of intimate friends and a hundred or more villagers gathered about the open grave while the commitment service was read, then all withdrew with the exception of Charles B. Jefferson, who alone watched the casket as it was lowered to its last resting place.
 Last night police officer remained at the grave, and this guard will be continued for several days.
 At II o'clock in the morning brief service was held at Crows Nest, the Jefferson summer cottage here. Only immediate relatives and intimate friends were present. The train from Boston brought twenty-five friends in addition to those who were already here. The former included Richard Watson Glider, editor of the Century, and E. A. Taft of Boston, president of the New York and Boston Dispatch. Former president Grover Cleveland, one of Mir. Jefferson's closest friends, was unable to be here.
 At the grave, which had been prepar- ed in the lot purchased by Charles B. Jefferson at the suggestion of his fa- ther two years ago. the flowers which had been brought from Crows Nest were arranged in way to quite con- ceal the casket from view.
 Here the services were brief. Dr. Horton read the Unitarian burial sery- fec then withdrawing with the mourn CTS and their friends, leaving Charles B. Jefferson alone for time with the dead

From the Douglas, (kan. ] Tribune we take the following account of the death of Rufus Lichlyter, who lived in this sec tion years ago, and who will be remembered by old settlers.

Eighth Annual Chautauqua.

Work of arranging the pro- gram for the eighth annual Ses- sion of the Springdale Chautau- qua, to be held July 16-23, IS pro- gressing in very satisfactory manner.
 A contract has been closed with the kreyer orchestra, ot Fort Scott, Kansas, to furnish music, and this, in itself, almost insures a good meeting. This organization IS we'll known to Chautauqua goers as 1t has been here a number of seasons in the past, and on every visit they gain new friends. It is fine musical organization and the members are all gentlemen. There are eight people in the orchestra.
 A contract has also been closed with Rev. Geo. K. Stuart the well known Southern evangelist for two sermons and two lectures. MT. Stuart will open the Chau- tauqua. He Is one of the strong est men Ill the south. and by many IS considered the superior of Rev. Sam Jones, his lectures being free from features which make Mir. Jones' lectures objec- tionable to some people.
 An old time favorite, Hon. Lou J. Beauchamp, will be with us again this season and will deliver three lectures. He IS known as the laughing philosopher, and 1n his humor are little sermons that you carry away with you and do you good as long as you live.
 Dr. Hartzog, president of the University of Arkansas, and Hon. J. H. H1nemon, State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, have been secured for an address each. These gentlemen both take high rank as interesting and instructive speakers, and are gen. tlemen of whom every loyal citi- zen of the state is proud.
 Negotiations are pending for other attractions, and withal the eighth annual Chautauqua gives promise of being successful, so far as the character of the pro- gram Is concerned.

Cllds Their PrQper Treatment and Cure.

Commonly, the first symptom of "cold" /" is chilly feeling, accompanied by sneez- ing or tickling in the throat. The most frequent of external causes are draughts, wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms suddenly into cold ones. More frequently there is an inner cause-nanely the stagna- ton of the blood caused by constipation or biliousness Almost the first symptom IS the feeling of cold in the feet and increased discharge from the nose
 No one ever takes cold unless constr pated. or exhausted, and having what we call nal nutrition, which is attended with impoverished blood and exhaustion ofnerve force Toncs consisting of large portions of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring the desired changes in the blood, because they do not enter the system and are not absorbed into the blood, with the exception of the alcohol, which shrivels up the red blood corpuscles when 1t does come ln contact with them We recommend the botanical extract of Dr. Pierce because 1t contains no alcohol, and offers reasonable and scientific method of treating the blood, bv improving the nutritive functions of the natient. The eGolden Medical Discovery" accomplishes this, by first restoring the enfeebled digestive organs, so that food, the natural tissue builder, will be digested and assimilated.
 Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. There IS noth- ing riust as good" for diseases of the stomach.

Wants Part of Fort Smith.

Fort Smith. Ark, March H. Mayor Cupper to-day received notification from w. A. Duncan of Tahlequah to either abandon certain ten acres of land on the Choctaw strip, recently annexed by an act of Congress to this county and State, or pay S1, 1,o00 per acre for the ground. MT. Duncan says that strip, accord ing to the description by metes and bounds in the treaty between Choctaw Nation and the Govern ment, is in Cherokee Nation, and he had taken 1t for his allotment. He sends with the notification that portion of the treaty describ- ing property as proof that the land Is In the Cherokee Nation and also some corresp ondence had by him with the Department of the Interior, in which the active com missioner stated that If Mr. Duncan's interpretation of the treaty IS correct the land belongs to him.
 The Cherokee strip has all been plated, appraised and sold, and purchasers are in possession. The ownership of the particular ten acres of land claimed by Mir. Duncan depends upon whether certain described lines in the treaty run east and west, or north as south. If the former the claim of Mir. Duncan will be good. That the deciding line runs north and south has always been the decision of the department, but the question raised by MT. Duncan IS likely to create annoy ance to those who have complied with requirments ot the Depart ment of the Interior in the pur- chase of the lots comprising the ten acres and was appraised at about $500 an acre. Some eight or ten years ago, Gid Morgan, a we'll known Cherokee, raised the question of the location of the land in the Cherokee Nation, but the Department then overruled him. Whether the action of the department at that time will be sustained by the presents admin istration is regarded here as d debatable question.
