HUGH COPELAND
SERIOUSLY I'LL
At Basco-DesIre Entertained Of Re
turning Him to His keo-
kuk Home.

Friends in the city have recently
missed the familiar appearance OF
Hugh Copeland, an old and respected
citizen OF the city, from the streets,
where he frequently was seen, though
he had the past few months, lost
much OF his usual life and vigor. A
few weeks ago he went to Quincy
Ill. for treatment, hoping to regain
his health and strength, and not max.
ing proper progress he went to Basco
where he was taken to his bed and
his condition became serious. The
last reports from him early this week
was that there is desire to bring
him back to his home at Keokuk, but
the physicians say that he is not in
a condition to stand the trip necessary
to accomplish this object. It is hoped
by his friends that in g. short time he
will be able to stand the trip and
hope that, returned to his loved en-
vironments with which he has beer
familiar 30 long and among the
friends with whom he has associated
since the early days, that he will
soon be restored to his usual health

COLEMAN GOES FREE
OF ILLINOIS CHARGE
Judge Discharges Jury at Paris, III.
Declaring That State Failed
to Make Case.

G. H. Hill, or ]. H. Coleman on
trial in Paris, H., on charge Of being
implicated in a swindling deal, has
been freed of the charge. When the
last witness for the prosecution had
given his testimony the defense
moved that the defendant be dis
charged because the state has not
proved its case.
It seems that Hill, or Coleman was
the chief defendant in the case, and
the states attorney declared he would
press the charge of false pretense
against him. Prominent citizens Of
Paris. H., were brought into the case
as defendants and this heightened in
terest in the trial.
The Paris, ILL.,, Gazette states that
intensely bitter feeling prevails
among the out of town people who
have been pressing the charge against
Coleman. A number of copies Of the
paper were ordered sent to the vicin-
ity of Warsaw and other towns and
later cancelled because the parties
did not wish the manner of the end
ing Of the trial to become known in
this community where he is now fac.
ing Indictments.
The defendants In the Paris case
were accused Of swindling Messrs.
Mattingly out of $4,000 plantation.

FerocIous Ants Are Used as Execution

by William Philip Simms. Paris cor.
respondent of the United Press.]
PARIS, June 24-Liberia, the re-
public founded on the western coast
Iof Africa by American negroes as a
haven for their black brothers, is a
monumental fzzle, according to
Claude Wallace, an Englishman, who
today Is in Paris after a stay OF sew
eral months in the "colored mans
country" Wallace says that If the
negro, by creating Liberia, wished to
prove his capacity of self-government,
he botched the job, for utter incapac-
ity stares one in the face at every turn.
| II It were not great comedy, he
declared, 1t would be terrible trag-
edy, for all that is horrible treads
close upon the heels of things which
make one laugh until one's sides
ache
| Liberia" Wallace said, "ostensibly
has a government like any other re-
public, She has an army and she has
navy The navy is named THE
Lark" and lark she is, being a
small, steam yacht formerly owned by
Baron de Rothschild, of Paris. Her
chief business is to keep slave-traders
from invading Liberian territory, but
owing to lack of coal with which to
get up steam, she has to stay in
harbor most Of the time.
"Once In while though, The
Lark accumulates enough fuel to
make sortie. Sighting an enemy
! the vessel will chase 1t about ten
miles out, then run up signal OF
distress and beg coal enough to get
back to land.
The fleet It least has magnif-
cent admiral. He seldom ventures
aboard his fuelless dreadnaught, but
when he does, he Is bedecked in a
uniform almost every inch Of which
is covered with glittering, gold braid
His cruises are usually not uncon
nected with search for new rev
enues, since he carries with him
large supplies Of pretty stamps which
he sells as souvenirs to tourists aboard
the infrequent steamers.
"The republics territory really ex-
tends far inland, but the people of this
ihinterland do rot know it. They have
the reputation of eating their neigh
bors and the more civilized Liberians
are mortally afraid of them. The
latter are still confined to a narrow
strip of coast beyond which they dare
not bulge lest the inhabitants of the
interior make meal of their car
casses. Strangely enough, though of
the same race, the newcomers have
not had the slightest civilizing effect
upon the natives. Tortcre still exists

rible forms. Here is one OF the ia
vorites:

habitants from their huts. There is
no way to fight the ant. When the
ants arrive the natives surrender.
And when the ants have cleaned out
the hut, eating every vestige OF food
of whatever description, they march
on the next habitation.
The victim to be tortured Is strip

with honey and his mouth propped
open with a stick. A trail Of honey
is drawn from his mouth, over his

Soon the terrible, carnivorous ants
appear on the honey trail and slowly,

march toward the poor devil tied to

they keep right on. They climb his
body and disappear. scores Of them,
through his lips and down his throat.
For half an hour, perhaps, the vic
tim writhes as a person would who
has taken violent poison. Then he
stops his writing and his head says
upon his ant covered chest. He Is
dead.
The Liberians seem to realize the
mess they have made Of things, for
my impression was that they desired
most earnestly to be annexed, or taxi
en- under the protecting wing of some
European power, preferably Eng
land. They want to be saved from
lthemselves-and incidentally from

to lure any European country to her
side, but she hasn't yet given up all
hope. The people think If they can
