Somewhat EnjomatIcaI.

Country editors. like all others, have to be scrupulously careful about the accuracy of their news. We note this lucid correction in the Sequachaa (Tenn.) News: T want to thank Mrs. Carson very much for correcting the sad mistake that was made about her going to Utah. as the party of friends did not understand that her son was so far from that place. and if she does not allow everybody their own privil- eges it would be a helpless thing. for they have them just the same"

OUR RULE IN CUBA
Taft's Manifesto as to Control
 Satisfies All.
"BlG STICK" WILL ALWAYS BE READY
English Resident Proprietors Antici- pate . Greater Degree of Perma- nent American Regulation
 Than Is Now Evident.

HAVANA, April F. Excepting among the English colony, where some disappointment is guardedly expressed regarding Secretary Taft'spublic state ment as to American control and the elections in Cuba, there is every sign of general satisfaction with his re- marks.
 The prospect of American troops re maining at least two years encourages the bankers, and money needed for agricultural and industrial operations within that time will be loaned, though in somewhat lesser amounts than usu- al. But there will be no boom, as would have followed the frank decla- ration of the intention of the United States to establish protectorate.
 The Englishmen say the secretary's statement only guarantees good busi- ness for little over year and that by the end of twelve months it will be necessary to retrench owing to the un- certainty about the new government. It is plainly evident that English in- tcrests anticipated statement assur- ing a greater degree of permanent American control.
 Spanish commercial interests are pleased because they consider Secre- tary Taft's statements concerning tranquility tantamount to an assur- ance of American control for several years.
 American commercial and banking interests are more optimistic than the English. The Americans declare that Mir. Taft's words mean at least one year of continuous business, during which time political passions probably will die out They believe the Cubans, recognizing the certainty of American intervention if they do not keep the peace, will make strong endeavor to do so.
 One thing responsible for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the English residents is the question whether or not Cuba shall be obliged to pay for the damages done property during the last revolution. As English interests suffered more than any other nation, this is one of vital interest to the Brit fish resident proprietors.

WINE WITHOUT GRAPES.
Acid and Glycerine Used as substi-
tutes.

Berlin Cor. London Express.
Bayarian wine dealer named Kern has
been sentenced in the Frauenta criminal
court to two months Imprisonment, and to
pay a fine Of $500, for systematic adultera-
ton of his wine 1t was shown that in one
year he manufactured by means Of cherni-
Gals 5000 gallons of wine without single
drop of grape juice.
Dr. Roesicke, the agrarian leader, has
made some startling revelations of the poi
sonous connections which are being sold as
Rhine and Moselle wine. One chemical
manufacturer, whose name is made public
by DR.. Roescke. is proved to have supplied
no less than 267 wine merchants with in
furious chemical preparations used to adui-
terate wines.
An annual average of 100 wine merchants
are convicted for Illegally doctoring wines
in Germany. and during 1905 10000 gallons
of wine were condemned by state inspectors
to be poured down the drains as unfit for
public consumption. In one case the in
spector found 10 per cent of pure wine and
90 per cent of chemical connections. One
wine merchant was proved to have used
within period of seven years no less Ian
800 tons of glycerine, 100 tons of tartaric
acid. sixteen tons of potash and eleven tons
Of citric acid.

Result Of a Strange Encounter Between
Two Scouts.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
A. T. Lawrence Of st. Louis has been
spending several days in Springfield going
he was quite familiar during the civil war.
Lawrence wore the blue during the war and
participated in the battle of Springfield.
He was with his company in the old stock
ade on Campbell street. and he tells many
interesting stories of incidents that occur
red during that battle.
1--WE wanted some one to go out from the
stockade." said Mr.. Lawrence, ito do some
accommodating. There was a telegraph
operator with us named Briggs. and he was
the first man to volunteer Briggs stole out
yards of what was then known the city
cemetery.
"A confederate scout was hidden behind
a tombstone and took a shot at Briggs just
as he ducked behind tree. 1t was along
toward evening and the two men exchanged
possibly thirty shots at each other in the
duel in the darkness that followed. About
to by the opposing forces in order to care
for the wounded on both sides.
1--WE found the body of Briggs lying at
the foot of the tree bullet from the
squirrel rife of the confederate scout had
penetrated his brain through the eye. The
body of the confederate was found in the
cemetery in a sitting posture. His back
foot against another headstone, and was in
the act of pulling on his boot when a
Union bullet pierced his heart His fingers
were still in the boot straps and he appear
ed as IL he had fallen asleep while pulling
on his boot and was killed while asleep"
