There is more Catarrh in this section

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
f. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly

Evansville

The Misses Daisy Spencer, Blanche
Grow and Gertrude Eager returned from
their trip to Yellowstone Park the first
of the week.
From the compiled returns of the as
SCISSORS books of the city of Evansville,
it is learned that the total assessed val
uation of all property is this year 81 1885,
545 This is supposed to be so per cent
of the real valuation. The total increase
of all property over that of last year is
$l2,4S5, of which $500 covers the per-
sonal property and the balance the
realty This makes good showing for
Evansville.
William A Taggart quietly passed to
the home beyond, Wednesday morning,
at the home of his daughter, Mrs John
fuller, aged 80. Another one of the
early pioneer settlers of Wisconsin has
been called Coming to this state in
1915, be made home near Evansville
on farm, on which he has always re-
sided. Born in New York, Sept q, 1927,
score years. Five years after coming to
| this state he was married to Miss Lor-
eta Arnold, and she was faithful wife
| when death claimed her. Since then his
home has been with his only daughter
or the farm. Besides her, sister, Mrs
| Charlotte Greenman, is left.
The power and influence of the jaw is
unreasonable as was fully learned Tues
day evening, when a young man, moi
many months married, either attempted
to commit suicide or put up grand
bluff for the benefit of his wife and par
ents. The young couple in question are
living at the farm home of the young
mans parents few miles out of this
city, and the too freq uent manipulation
of the jaw by the parents and bride were
too much for the young man, hence thu
grandstand play made on the evening
above mentioned. A physician from thi
city was summoned to the farm, anl
after an exciting race over the country
in which the young man and his wifi
took an equal part with the physician
he was at last run down, and it was sup
posed that either bluff of poisoning
was made, or the exciting race proved al
effectual narcotic to the small dose TAX
en-. However, q simulated peace seem
to reign in the household now.

TERRORISTS PLAN
 EMPEROR'S DEATH
SUSPECTED CONSPIRACY IS RE- VEALED BY ARREST OF SOLDIER OF THE GUARD, BUT POLICE ARE SILENT.

St. Petersburg, May 15-A terrorist con- Emperor, the existence of which has been suspected for some time past, has been revealed by the arrest at Tsarkoe-Seo of a soldier of the guard regiment, who to- day confessed to the acceptance of d large money bribe to assist In the murder of his majesty.
 According 10 the details of this plot, the existence of which has been con- firmed by one of the highest officials of the court, suspicion was directed to the soldier by the fact that he was seen to have in his possession considerable sums of money. The man was at once placed under observation. When he noticed that he was being shadowed he became panic stricken and sought the authorities He then broke down and voluntarily made his confession, after which he begged for protection
 All the threads of this conspiracy. which is radically different from former attempts of this nature. are not yet in the hands of the sercret service men. A few under lings have been apprehended. but the real lratigators of the crime and the men who furnished the blood money have not yet been identified.
 IL is thought that the money used is part of tle proceeds of several political robberies comTt'ted last fall and inter Many of inc participants In the so-called appropriations" have been arrested and exectued, but the loot was never To- cated.
 The police officials maintain silence when questioned regarding the conspiracy

Commission Hasn,t Acted.

Washington, May 15.-The recommenda- tions of Messrs. Kellogg and Severance in regard to the Hartman railroads are not yet accepted and confirmed by the interstate commerce commission, so that they stand at present merely as recom- mendations to the commission and not report of the commission itself. Commits sioners Harlan and Knapp of the inter- state commerce commission say that the commission has not yet made it's report.
 The members of the commission con ferred for an hour thls afternoon over the report from New York that recom- mendations of Frank D. Kellogg and Charles Severance had been made public and then authorized the following state ment:
 "Tbe commission has aet p.apared a report in the so-called Harrinah case, nor has it yet decided any of the ques- tions involved in the inquiry. The whole matter Is still under consideration and some phases of it are being further in- Vestigated

Texas, crime upon the black battalion. and through them upon their entire race

Three Witnesses Tell Same
 Story About Brownsville
THE SENATE INVESTIGATION
Testify to Seeing and Hearing Negroes Leave the Post Armed With Rifles, Shooting as
 They Ran.

Washington, May 15-Drect testimony connecting negro soldiers with the shoot ing affray at Brownsville. Tex. on the night of August 1S last was given today in the investigation being conducted by the Senate committee on military affairs. Three witnesses told stories on the sanie line in connection with the affair as were made to the war department MT. and Mrs. George U. Kendall and Jose Martinez were the witnesses. All of them on the night of the shooting occupied houses on Garrison road in Brownsville directly opposite the military post. All three testified to seeing or hearing sol- diers leaving the post during the shooting and Martinez, who was on the stand all of the afternoon, testified that he saw tlie men shooting as they ran.
 Martinez was a clerk in a drug story in Brownsville last August and for eighteen months before
 ie speaks very little English The wit ness lived in q small house directly in front of Company barracks.
 On the night of August 1S, Martinez, ac- cording to his testimony. arrived home about Il o'clock. He sat up reading few minutes before midnight he heard four or five shots and the reflection from the flashes of the guns, he said passed over the paper he was reading. He got up and closed his door and then he heard several commands from within the gar rlson walls. like. 'hury up'' and .'jump.' but as they were not spoken in his lan- guage he could not be sure that he heard correctly. After putting out the light Martinez said he lay down on the floor and he heard the men jump over the wall. He would not say he saw the men climh- Ing over. but he was positive from the sound of Jumping and subsequent sounds that they had done so. Upon looking out after the men, Martinez says he saw four or five men running down the alley He could distinguish their uniforms. but not their faces, for the reason, he thought that the faces were darker than the clothes the men wore. Martinez was positive that the men had rifles.
 On cross examination, Senator Foraker sought an admission from the witness that his view of the garrison was not good while he was on the floor, and that he was so badly frightened that he might have confused the occurrences of the night The cross examination. however raised some doubt as to just when and under what circumstances Martinez saw the soldiers, and this may have to be cleared up by further questions.

Chicago, May 15.-Frank B. Kellogg special attorney for the government in the investigation of the interstate com merce commission of the Hartman lines who is in Chicago, tonight said:
 That tsory from New York. outlining supposed recommendations made by me to the interstate commerce commission, sounds like a rehash of my closing argu- ments in the case April 1 In my clos ing address I suggested legislation to cor rect certain evils relative to the com munity interests. A copy of my address was returned to me for the customary corrections and the corrected copy was forwarded to Washington a week ago. have made no statement to any one re- garding the case and do not intend to-"

No Conclusion.

No further information than is con tained in the statement was authorized by the commission. Judge Knapp, the chair man, frankly said that he could add noth- inS to the statement, but he made strong CT, if possible, the statement that the commission had not reached any conclu- sion respecting the Hartman lines case and probably would not for some tme Judge Knapp declined to indicate what, in his opinion, might be the action of the commission. He said 1t was entirely too soon to consider that phase of the matter, as the commission thus far had given very little consideration to 1t. Members of the commission would not admit even that Attorneys Kellogg and Severance. individually, or together had made a re- port to the commission on the Hartman case, but it Is known that Attorney Kel- logg has submitted to the commission an epitome of the facts adjudged at the sev- eral hearings and perhaps some sugges- tions as to what the commission, in his opinion, ought to do No member of the commission, however, would admit that the publication purporting to be report to the commission Is an accurate resume of the report prepared by Mir. Kellogg.
 It is likely that as soon as the commis- sion shall have determined on a line of procedure, provided the decision should be to institute proceedings against Mir. Hartman and others, all the facts in the case will be submitted to the depart ment of justice for such action as 1t may consider proper.
