year Bryan ran for president corn
sold for 10 cents per bushel. Does
he mean BY that, that II Bryan con-

experience In the use Of this remedy. Il
Is NOT A PATENT MEDICINE but it is a
vERITABLE PRESCRIPTION that became
his "favorte" when he was engaged in

found that 1t cured more than ninety

FRIENDS INDIGNANT
Over Treatment of Tennessee
Man by Kentucky Raiders.

Burns, Tenn, April l8.-Informa-
ton has been received here that E.
c. Reeder. whose home is at this
place, and who travels for Wester-
field, Ohio, firm, was detained by
masked men near Princeton, KY,
late Wednesday evening, and after
being questioned was searched and
deprived of his personal belongings.
Then his coat was removed. and he
was severely whipped, the assaiiants
declaring they would have killed him
had he not been under age. IL is
supposed that the night riders be-
lieved that he was connected with
the tobacco company, which caused
them to punish him. MIR. Needer is
of one of the best families at this
place, and the report is causing no
little indignation here. 1t is further
stated that 5000 will be offered by
his brother, J E Reeder. of this
place, for the apprehension of the
guilty parties.

PANIC AVERTED
The Principal Announced a
Holiday.

st. Louis, April l9.-One thousand
pupils were quickly and speedily dis.
missed from the Blair public school
when fire was discovered on the first
floor. The fire started near a steam
heating coil in room II. The teach
err, Miss Catherine Lewis, sent word
to Principal Herzog and dismissed
her pupils. Principal Herzog quick
ly visited each room and announced
holiday. Joyously the pupils filed
out and did not know about the fire
until they were outside and saw the
smoke pouring from the windows of
room II. The fire was soon extin-
guished.

tears to the eyes of many. He said
Il protest against the pardon Of

refer you to the record in their cas-
es and all kindred cases. l ask you
to make an analytical and compare
tive study of the evidence of every
witness who has appeared at every
trial, so that the capability and the
interest of every witness to tell the
truth may be judged.
The best criterion is not what
or they may say, but the evidence
itself. The record shows that Pow.
ers is as guilty as can be. The
world knows he is guilty. For eight
long years l have assisted the Com
mOnwealth in this battle. | have
done nothing that was not strictly
in conformance with the law. / ask
you to let the law take its course.
Not a Question of Mercy.
There are those, many in number,
and many have said it to me, that
even though Powers is guilty he has
suffered enough and should be par
doned. That is mercy. If this is to
be question of mercy, l ask you to
listen to the requiem of the winds
which chant over the grave of Will
liam Goebel and to consider that his
life and liberty were as dear to him
as theirs is to them.
There was silence throughout the
hall for a half minute. Mr.. Goebel
turned and walked out.
Governor Wilson then called upon
Mr.. Franklin TO present mis- argu-
ment for the Commonwealth.
Robert Franklin spoke against the
granting of the pardons and w. C.

conclude his speech to-day and Gov.

of the House of Representatives for
the Howard-Powers pardon hearing
until nearly noon, being detained by
a meeting of the Capitol Commission.

Mr.. Goebel said that he desired to
protest against the pardon of Jim
Howard and Caleb Powers. He re-
ferred to the efforts of the defense
to protect Henry Youtsey in the first
trial of Powers, and yet, after he
had confessed to flood him with
charges in the following ones. He
denied that it had ever been the pur-
pose of the Commonwealth to de-
fend Youtsey. 1t had always prose
cuted him.

ALI Should Have Hanged.

st is disgrace to the State that
Youtsey has not been hanged, and
also that the other two have not
been hanged" Mr.. Goebel spoke
earnestly and freely without passion
and with the ease Of a practical
speaker. He took up the testimony
of the new witnesses introduced at
the last trial of Powers, dissecting
their evidence carefully with the
skill Of the most finished criminal
attorney. The large crowd in the
hall listened breathlessly to every
word of the brother Of the murder
ed man.
Mr.. Goebel said that in reference
to the testimony of Col. Scott, which
had not been given and had beer
referred to by the defense attorneys
he had gone to Col. Scott after his
(Scott's) conference with Youtsey
and asked him directly and man tc
man if Youtsey had admitted that
he had fired the shot that killed Will
liam Goebel. He said that Col. Scott
told him that Youtsey told him that
he did not.

STRAITS OF MAGELLAN

The fact that the battle fleet under the command of Admiral Evans has been making its way through the Straits ot Magellan awakcns interest in that part of the world, and calls for some description of tn, waters and the bordering lands. It is said the straits are about 400 miles long and from two to twenty miles wide: that thin jagged mountains rise out of the waters, from 2.OOO to 5000 feet high with perpetual snow on their summits. Gray clouds and fog hang over them, and stormy winds come tearing across the archj- pellayo. white with binding snow and ,lget. A cold biting wind iashes the water into never ending whirls and eddjes. Into these dangerous waters within the last ten years fifty vessels have entered and never more come out.
 Through Uni, reacherous passage Evans fleet must creep single file with ever a sharp lookout for points of danger. The weather remains prac- tjcaly unchanged with the changing seasons. It is now midsummer there which gives the fleet the advantage of the long days, which in midwinter are turned into darkness. But in the course of the stormy passage the com pass, the chart and the lead line must chiefly be relied upon to guide the ships.

 One of the most touching things she ever wrote was "The Dog of Elan ders." Critics may call it only bum ale of pathos, but it will ever appeal to those who have depth and sweet ness of heart sufficient to appreciate it..
 The critic says, "subtlety, delicacy, allusiveness, restraint in style-theSe are pearls that are thrown away on the mob of novel-readerS and borrow ers." The gorgeous colors painted on the heavens by the rising sun may be declared overdrawn, but the sun will continue to throw them on the canvas till the end of time, and there will not be lacking those who are inspired and made better by them. So will it be with Ouida and all those writers who are natural artists and have depth of knowledge and the facile pen to de- pict human nature and appeal to the human heart.

TO ExcAvATE HERcULANEUM

In the story of the siege of Troy, after the Creeks had built the wooden horse and withdrawn to the sheltertng protection of Teuedos VcrgiI says that i, wa, pleasing for the Trojans to go forth from the city, where they had long been shut in by the besieging army and view the place where the Greek camp had stood. It is some thing of the same curiosity to know how others have lived that impels man to dig among the ruins of old and long forgotten cities. Added to this impulse of curiousity is the still stronger desire among scholars to dis cover long buried manuscripts, and works of art.
 The eyes of scholars and arch@olo- gists have long turned anXiously to- ward the ancient city of HercuIaneum, which was in the year 70 buried be- heath ashes and molten lava, and com pletely lost sight of for more than 1900 years. Even today the greater part of the city is just as it was left by that fatal eruption of VeSuvius and is some eighty feet below the surface of the earth. An offer was long ago made to raise the money in America and Europe to carry on the work of eXcavating Herculaneum, but through pride and senSitiveness the Italian Government refused all aid from without and proposed to do the work itself It is now announced that the work will be begun by the Government, and the world may expect ancient manuscripts and works of art to be brought forth from the treasures of this deeply buried city that will be full of interest to those living nearly twenty centu- ries after the wealthy Greeks and Romans lived and wrought on the sunny shores of southern Italy.

The entertainment given by the pu- pils of the Seward public schools last evening was largely made up from the lives and writings of three great Americans born in the month of Feb ruary- Washington, Lincoln and Long fellow. Short sketches of their lives were read by some of the pupils, and selections from poems and speeches were given by others, and these were interspersed with vocal and instru- mental music. All the exercises were listened to with interest and both teachers and pupils commended for the instructive entertainment given.
