perfectly ( sketched. We exclaim 'what a
miracle hath God wrought1' And yet how
inslgnlflcint Is the section wo have been seen
in the evolution of education. In turn the
evolution of education Is on Infinitesimal
part In the copmle process. In theq ; days
of pessimism 1 * it not ( omclhlne to have

years ? Wh t n pledgs for the future !
Evolution Is ascendant. It Is sweeping up
ward her * nnd now In thi > Institution of
which we are all a part. Humanity rises.
The dlvlno evolution of aeons must bo tri
umphant ,
"When the American traveler rMurns
homo utter his long voyag& the magnificent
harbor of New York touches his heart with
the story of America. Perchance a new
moon , with a star on the string cf her s'l-
ver bow , hangs In the western sky , bespeak
ing youth , growth and empire. Underneath
the moon , from the wooded bank , rises thu
church spire , and beside It the cupola ot
the school house. In n clus
ter nro the houses ot the hamlet. Church ,
school , home , the eacrcd trinity of Ameri
can Institutions/ All are Rate beneath the
vigilant torch of liberty enlightening the
world , further on Is a flashing diadem
upon the brow of tht > city. With the cpah
of the electric-lighted Urboklyn bridge
eclcnco and Invention have crowned the In
dustry nnd cdmVnbrce the new world.
"Such Is the magnificent and significant
gateway to the continent that optns out Into
the great midlands In which we stand.
Youth , growth , empire , church , school ,
home , liberty , science and Invention shall
make Nebraska and with Its unUerslty , at
the heart of the continent , the happy haven
for all time for Immunity , the. pilgrims of
the night toward the light , "
Following the eloquent address was given
the "Charter Day Hymn , " by the University
orchestra nnd choruses. The words and mu-
sle were by D. N. Lehmer , clasi ot ' 93.
CONGUATULATOUY ADDIinSSES.
Governor Silas A. Holcomb wis first In
the list of congratulatory idurew . Sp ak-
Ing "on behalf ot the state , " ho said that
so far as the welfare cf the State university
was Involved , ho felt that hn could con
gratulate everybody. He had reflected long
upon the gratifying fact that within the
walls ot that Institution were gathered rep- ,
resentatlvcs from almost every county In
the state. The university had a reputation
not hounded by tlie limits of the state. There
were many' students frm localities outside
of Nebraska. It was bill little more thdn
a quarter of a century old , yet It had , even
now , accomplished n great work. In a brief
but graphic manner the governor sketched
the condition Of the state and Its future
possibilities. Huxley had said that every
government should have an educational lad
der , with one end in the gutter , the ether
in the university. Nebraska cartalnly pos
sessed such a ladder. Victor Hugo had said
that he who opens a school house closss a
prison. In connection with this , the speaker
directed the attention of the audience to
the small percentage ot c'nvlcts In proportion
tion to the population of Nebraska now In
the penitentiary. Of late ha had been pleased
to notion Increased Interest manifested In
the Nebraska university. A former chancel
lor had been called to the > great state of
Ohio to preside over a schol much older
than ours. Dut he > had received the call be
cause of his success In producing such cx-
collfnt results In this state. The governor
then extended congratulations to the new
chancellor , and closed.
"On bhalf ; ot the state school system , "
Superintendent II. n. Crbett said It was
fitting that , In following the magnificent ad
dress of Chancellor MacLean , the governor
should pay a high trlbue to the state. Ne
braska's pride was the small percentage of
Illiteracy In the state. Two thousand pupils
had. In the past year , been added to the 300
High schools In the state. Dut three other
state universities were admitted to rank
above ours , and they were In states far
wealthier and more densely populated than
Nebraska. Prof. Corbett said that In educa
tional , as well ns in military or Industrial
affairs , the great demand \\ai for leaders.
As a representative of the common school
* system of the state , he could fully endorse
the truth of this demand. In Chancsllcr
MacLean tty ) university had a leader to
whom every aspiring student could look
with confidence.and pride. One way to stand
up for Nebraska was by keeping her proud
place In. educational Improvement , which was
' " '
'at present"I'nf'the. ' van. j
The , address of Hen. II. II , Wilson , A. M. ,
cla03 of " 78 , was "On Dehalf of the Alumni
and Students. " Ho said that they had come
together to celebrate the anniversary of the
university's birthday. Twenty-seven years
ngo the state of Nebraska had said that all
who so desired , regardless of birth or con
dition , could enjoy the benefits of this uni
versity. Those vho had made this possible
knew that the tame of the Uni
versity of Nebraska would de
pend , not on Its wealth , but on the men 'and
women whom It should educate. As the
years had come nnd gone , many had enjoyed
the unlverolty's benefits. It had boon pressed
for money , but none had over been turned
away. The university waa not n benefactor
by the grace of the millionaire , who had given
back n smnll modicum of what ho had taken
from the people. Dut It was a gift to youth
from the hamta of the common people of
Nebraska. And no criterion must ever bo set
up except the aristocracy of brains. To
Chancellor MacLean , Mr. Wilson said that
If over rank or wealth Kilned universal rewards , -
wards In tha State university , then would the
Institution have sunk to o low point. Dut
with thn nnw nhnnnnllnr nf thn InttMttitlnn
at the lioad. he believed that , like a young
Henry of Ncvarre , he would lead it always
In the right direction.
FrtOM THE UEOBNTS' STANDPOINT.
"On Dehalf of the Itegonts and Faculty , "
Hon. Henry 1 > . Kstnbrook of Omaha ad
dressed himself to the audience. In a hu
morous vein lie said he desired to address
lilmsolf to Regent Morrlll personally. He
said It was time that Mr. Morrlll bo brought
out nnd shown In till triu colors. Mr. Mor
rlll , ho cald had been n regent for six years
and appeared to want to hang on to his job
six years longer. Now the office of regent
carried no salary. So far as the speaker
had been able to discover , there was no
chance offered to steal anything. Mr. Mor
rlll , whose financial judgment amounted to
financial genius , was too modest. He had
hoard him say that tlio boys and girls of
Nebraska needed his rervlces more than
did tlii > mob of howling politicians. Mr.
Usiabrcok paid a hlRh tribute to Mr. Morrlll
and to Kx-Chnncellor Canflcld , whom he
humorously described us n "Sawed Off
Hercules. " The best tribute to Ex-Chancel
lor Cnnfleld was the fact that he > had himself
rccommendi-d Chancellor MacLean. The
speaker said that with the close of these
exercises his cHI/eiirlilp In Nebraska would
nleo he drawing to o close , He said that It
was n iilnisuro to make ono of his last acts
a congratulatory address to the new chan
cellor.

Trial RroirM IiitfrcMtlntv.
SIDNEY , Neb. , Feb. 14. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The taking of testimony In the Bo
zarth murder trial wag begun today. The
first witness waa Jack Crlttenden , who posl
lively testified ho saw Dozarth kll | Fawcus
Mrs. Crlttenden corroborated her -husband
She wltno S3d the tragedy through a pair
cf Hold glasses from the Fawcus ranch , a
distance of nearly half a mllo. 'The de
fense made a strong effort on crosfexamlna -
tlon to confuse her , but 3lie fa led to con
tradict herself.
William Fiesterman , Miller Robinson and
Frank Llphka were also witnesses and their
testimony could not be shaken. Dr. A. D
Slowlttp and Coroner Burger Identified the
clothing worn by the deceased and the doc
tor described the -wounds minutely , showing
that Fawcus-had been shot In the back while
In the act of retreating from Bozartb.
The evidence , so far shows that thq trou
ble arose over an Irrigation ditch which rah
' '
throiigli'thc'Fawcus land ; that Dozarth lived
northeast of Fawc'un and had two shares In
the ditch , while Fawcus owned ten share ?
Hszarth claimed , he was not getting water
enough for his crops and being unable to
have a fair understanding with Fawcus , he
would frequently pull up the check or dam
which had been put In by the superlntenden
of the ditch , and thus shut off Fawcus. This
state of affairs continued some time and on
the day of the murder Bozarth wae ssen
ildlng along the ditch with a double-bar
reled shotgun and a spade , and made the
remark ho would have water or bload. At
Camp Clarke ho bouglif'some sheila and re
marked to the lady clerk that ho intended
to kill a man with them. Fawcus saw IJcv
zarth from his ranch and told his guests
that he would ride to "lilm and talk mat
ters over. As ho approached Bozarth the
latter got off his horse and phot Fawcus
twice , and ho died within fifteen minutes.
There la a large array cf witnesses yet to
bo examined for the state.

HAN AGAINST A I1UZZ-SAW.
'
Tnntlmtono Hill liirkn Illn
. \uulnit the PN < * of Cnitlnltt .InoK- .
While traveling through Pennsylvania n
few dnys ngo , Captain Jack Crawford , th
"Poet Scout , " wns provoked Into a display
of the "mnnly art , " which Is thus detailed
by the Wllkesbnrro Times :
"Hill" Shaw , commonly called "Tombston
Bin , " went tip ngalnst n. forty-horse im > e
buzz-saw yesterday nnd when he came ou
of the melee he looked ns if he had bee :
carried by n cyclone through a slnilghte
house. It happened this way :
I3I1I had been down In Jersey plying hi
UFUnl vocation , that of selling grave-stones
Ho boarded a Lchlgh VaUcy train a
North Plaliiflcld to coma to. this cltv. It I
Mild by the train hands that "Hill" had a
goocl-ylzed Jng aboard , nnd the llrst objec
that attracted his exacting attention wn
a distinguished looking stranger wearing
K ng hair. Hfll prides himself on his rcputa
tlcin of being a practical Joker nnd h
decided to make Forno fun for his fellow
pEEfongers nt the stranger's expense. S
swaggering up the aisle he stopped In fron
of the gentleman with the long locks am
paused a moment , sized up his "mark" am
said , loud enough for nil to hear , while a
smile spread over his face :
" \Vhy , 1 wonder what It Is and where 1
eamo from ? "
No response from the stranger , who Ba
reading his newspaper. A llttlo Indlffcrenc
of this kind did not disturb 13111 and he wen
on.
on."Looks like a freak , doscn't It ? " ns h
gazed about the car for applause am
approval of his fellow-passengers , which , by
.the way , was not forthcoming.
lln lCDMt < nn thiia fnr n. fntv mtntltna wlinn
the stranger snld :
"Look here , my friend , I am not Interfer
Ing with you , and If you will not KO away
nnd let me alone , there will be trouble. "
"Ah , hn , " replied Bl ! ! . "It speaks n
last ; there will be trouble , eh ? Wonder I
It carries a gun ? "
The stranger arose and quietly asked Dll
to go away and stay nwny from him , bu
BUI wns after trouble , nnd refused to b
satisfied until he located It. The brakemnn
came In and told him the object of his re
marks was a gentleman and advised Bll
not to bother him nny more.
But Hill had nerve and he wasn't going
to let It bo known among the passenger
that ho wns weakening. Ho knew If he
kept on nagglnfr long enough he could mak
his fellow travelers laugh. The laugh cam
later on nnd It wasn't on the stranger
cither. Noticing a copper badge Bill leanei
over the stranger's seat , gazed at the In
slgnla a moment nnd then straightening up
with an expression of disgust on his face
said :
"Why , It's' a Grand Army man ; an old
soldier ; damn 'em both. "
Here s where the Inugh came In.
The stranger arose , took one step forwarc
nnd planted ono straight from the shou'de
directly on Hill's expression of disgust
Then the left hand came up under Bill's
chin with a double back action movemen
which drove Bill's head back as If It had
been hit by a' pile driver. Ho saw stars
Mars and Jupiter nil at one and the same
time nnd for a moment ho was of the
opinion that the train had been telescoped
both ends nnd sideways. After the lists
had disappeared out of the atmosphere In
that car Bill looked weary. Blood was run
nine down his faCe , over his collar and shir
front and the remainder of his clothing
looked as though he had cither a misfit sul
on or had gotten on his clothes hlndside fore
me st.
The stranger had resumed his seat ani
taken up his newspaper.
Tombstone 13111 gazed nt him a moment
stood oft nnd looked at the awful wreck he
presented and then leaning over the arm o
the seat he said , with what llttlo volpe he
had left :
"You sir , are a gentleman ; not only tha
but'you nro a dal. j' ; If there's one man In
"tho.world I can take bft my hat to , you are
that person. " >
A clergyman sat in the seat behind the
stranger and hej leaned overjgnd whispered
In the long1 haired man's car : - ' ' ' >
"I was afraid you wouldn't hit him. "
The train came on nnd when It reachec
Wlllkesbarro the stranger got off , and BIT
asked him If ho wouldn't please allow him
to carry his satchels.
The stranger was Captain Jack Crawfort
whom Colonel Hurt of the Twenty-flftl
United States Infantry says has been "tried
out" under the most difficult circumstances
who Is a true hearted gentleman , a daring
scout ono of the most daring men In a
hostile Indian country he had ever mot.
And ) what did Tombstone Hill do ?
Ho swore out a warrant for Crawford's
arrest , though he admitted when doing so
that he didn't know the fellow's name and
Squire Davlfon had to make out n deecrlp-
tion on the warrant. Constable Wood went
to Scranton last night to serve the warrant ,
and was somewhat surprised when he reac
the warrant to a couple at Scranton police
men that Captain Jack Crawford answerer :
to It. Wood served the paper on Crawfon
later on nnd Jock promised -to be al
Davlson's ofllce this morning at fl o'clock
At that hour General E. H. Osborne , Colone
J. D. Lacier and Major Lenrmrd , who nro
friends of Jack's , were at Davlson's when
Captain Crawford arrived. Tombstone Bll
wna thnrp. ton. wifll MR nMnrnAV .Tnhn
Shea. Bill wns as"ked to bo sworn nnd tel
his ptory , which he did about as > follows :
"All I know Is that ho Hcltod me ; llcker
mo like h I , that's what ho did , and I tel
you , he's n daisy. " " '
"What did ho do It for ? " aked Mr. Shea.
"Because ho was mad , " replied Bll ! .
"What was ho mad about ? "
"That's his buslnesa ; not mine. "
Captain Crawford was called nnd paid ho
cuessed Bill told the truth when he said " 1
licked him. " He then went on to state
that ho could stand Ills icmarlts In the car
until ho n&snlled the Grand Army and his
comrade" . "When ho did that , " concluded
Crawford. "I couldn't control myself any
longer nnd you nnd ho know the rest.
At this Mr. Shea Informed his client. Bill ,
to meet him In his olllce next Tuesday
morning ns he wanted to talk with him
confidentially !
Squlro DuviRon held Captain Crawford In
$300 on bin own recognizance for a further
hearing Tuesday , It probably will never
be held. Bill will ppend Sunday nt homo in
Dallas jvhere , amid pastoral scenes , he will
ruminate , ever the first practical exhibition
ho ever saw of the Crawford forty-horse
power buzz-saw.

EL PASO. Tex. , Feb. 14. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Word has been received nt head
quarters from Las Cruces that Manor's oycs
worn healing Mil and that ho would bo
ready to step Into the ring" on Monday morn-
Ins.
Over at Juarez today Fltzalmmons' train
ing quarters have been guarded by a detachment -
ment of ruraols and all visitors save news
paper correspondents ncro denied admit
tance. The Madrid bull fighters were granted
a concerslon by the authorities of Chihuahua
this afternoon , rind this evening promulgalcd
the announcement that a grand bull fight
would como oft In the Paso del Norto bull
pen Sunday afternoon.
El Paso Is still overrun with strangers ,
and the gambling houses and saloons arc
dofng a laud office business. Al Smith and
a number of New Yorkers loft for the east
this afternoon , but the newspaper men are
all yet on duty. Notwithstanding the fre
quent bulletins from the fighters' quarters
that the big fight will1 bo pulled off Monday
sure , I think this whole thing Is a. colossal
"con" game , and that there Is about as much
show for the contest as there Is for Mount
Franklin to burst forth In volcanic action.
The betting has changed but a trifle. The
most money Is being laid on the number of
rounds it will takb for one or the other to get
a knockout. " QUISWOLD.
DEAD GAMES AUK DISAPPOINTED.
Some of Them Short of Money mul
Iluvti I.oft for Home.
EL , PASO , Tex. , Feb. 14. Instead of be
ing In the whirl of excitement today over
the great prize fight , El Pnso was quieter
than at nny tlmo during the last two days.
Stuart's headquarters was about the dead
est place In town and was practically de
serted during the greater part of the day.
There Was a sorely disappointed crowd
of sports hanging around the street corners
and several of them not fortlllcd for the
financial strain of n long Btny In El Paso
were forced to take the back trade for
home. These , however , wore few In num
ber and the majority are hanging on with
Implicit faith In Stuart's ability to pull
of the fight as he has agreed to do.
There Is no question but the fight will
take place , but whether It will bo on Mon
day or not Is an open question. If Manor's
oyea do not recover with sufllclent rapidity
to enable him to get Into the ring on
next Monday , Fltzsiim..uti3 may decline to
Walt any longer.
Fltzsimmons Is a sorely disappointed man
over the turn things are taking , and Is n
little Inclined to find fault with Mnlier for
not taking' , sufllclent precautions during
his training. He-Is confident of his ability
to beat Mafierrln two rounds , or four at the
outside , and , the obstacles that have -been
nlnnmt in lild.\l nv linVA tnndnil tn iHscTHlrniro
him somewhat. ' He rode over Into El Paso
this afternUbii''on his wheel , and although
Maher went to Las Cruces this morning ,
the Texasrjtangers nt once struck Fltzslm-
mon'B trial , , to .prevent him from engaging
In a fist right with a man forty odd miles
away. The .constant dogging of his every
movement " " oy1 the rangers has added
another foiluM to the disgust which Fltz
simmons entertains of the general situation.
There Is nn , doubt that ho Is very anxious
to fight , Hpravlded he does not run up
against a ial ( , and In partfcular a Mexican
Jail. J17' '
NOTHING 'CERTAIN ABOUT MAHEK.
Dr. WhiteWlto has been attending Maher ,
said thlsmmoralng after his patient had
departed for ; Iain.Oruces , that he had grave
fears us toi Maher's ability to be In the
ring on .Monday. , He may be able to do
1t'p said'Jtho'Doctor , "but It Is doubtful.
It Is llkely-'to'be.a ' week , and he'may not
come around by that time. His eyes are In
very bad smpe-and ! ; there Is no telling with
nny certainly ( /when he will be able to bee
-clearly. " . ,
Governor Ahumada was on the alert this
morning1 to prevent any fight In his baili
wick. He had his1 men out watching eagerly
for any signs of men crossing the river In
largo numbers. Even liter-Mexican collector"
of the port , at Juarez , Manuel Bauche.ono'
of the most genial and pleasant of men ,
sat at his desk In the custom luouse with
a. tremendous big revolver on the desk be-
tote him , and in the court of the federal
building stood several horses ready for
him and his employes to mount and rldo
to the battle ground. All lost night and
far Into the greater part of the morning ,
the training quarters In Juarez were sur
rounded by a cordon of mounted Mexican
guards.
It was nearly noon before any of the
Inmates ventured from the house and then
Julian went to the federal headquarters
In company with a friend , who brought him
the Information that the whole Fltzsimmons
retinue was to be ordered out of Mexico.
Julian thought It advisable not tovalt for
the order. He told Collector Dauche that
hn lind nn illtpntlnn m vlnlnttnc Mmclonti
law. and that If the fight was to have taken
place In Mexico all the traps of Fltzsimmons
would have been sent out before. Ho told
tho' collector that there was Itttlo chance
of the fight being brought off , owing to
Maher's condition and ho hoped under the
circumstances his party would not fall under
the ban of the state.
During the conversation. Governor Ahu
mada called upon Collector Uauche. Julian
was introduced and the gist of Julian's
statement was translated to him by the
collector , The governor waa courteous , but
non-committal , and Julian was bowed out.
In coming over to the theater on this
side , last night , Fltzsimmons was stopped
: > y the Mexican officials and again In return
ing. Fltzsimmons explained he had no In
tention of fighting In his full dross garb
and that Mnher wan not In condition to
fight. H ? was hold until It wna found Maher
was blind and then released , but a guard
was posted about his house.
WALCOTT HEADY TO FIGHT.
Thomas F. O'llourUe , tHe backer of Joe
Walcott , will 1ii\ve his man weighed In to
morrow and claim the forfeit of Dan Stuart
If the fight between his man nnd "Bright
Eyes" Is not brought off. The fight li
scheduled for tomorrow , nnd O'llourke will
Insist upon having his $220 , If no chance Is
given for the men to get Into the ring.
There Is no likelihood that this fight will
take place. 5t cannot be pulled off without
? lvlng tho" authorities a tip as to where
Stuart Intends to bring off the big battle ,
and he will toke no chances on having
that fight stopped.
The situation nns worked down to a simple
iiroposuiun ui imvintf uiu JiKni uoioru uio
ICInetcscope. It Is practically Stuart's only
chance to win out and the only hope that
no Itlnotoscopo people have this sldo of
; he grave for the recovery of the $17,000
hey have already put Into the scheme. The
clnetoscope , of course , la the strongest
thing In favor of the fight coming off , and
an qffort wll ) certainly bo made to got the
men Into tliq ring an soon as Maher ia In
any condition tn fight.
The location tit the fight Is trtlll the Eamo
deep Unpenetrable secret. Nohody knows
a thing ubbuUMti and only one thing IB
certain It .will not be In Texan , it may
jo four rnllps from El Paso , and It may
> e a hundr l."Nobodv save Stuart knows
the direction ion the distance.
Hot resolutions were adopted at a meet-
ng of the jiity'council here tonight , eight
icing polletKUpon the matter In the after
noon nnd bbvofi of the aldermen agree-
ng to the ) resolutions. The substance of
he resolution iWas that the citizens of El
'OBO regarded , ( ho action of Governor Cul-

The Proper Time
When the most benefit Is to be derived from
a good medicine. Is early In the year. This
Is the season when the tired body , weakened
organs and nervous system yearn for a build
ing-up medicine like Hood's Sareaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather and ,
In fact , delay giving attention to their physl-
cal'condition so long that a long so'ge of sick ,
ness Is inevitable. To rid the system of the
Impurities accumulated during the winter sea
son , to purify the blood and to Invigorate the
whole system , there Is nothing equal to
Hood's Sarsaparllla. Don't put It off. but
take Hood's Sarsnparllla now. It will do
you good. Read the testimonials published
In behalf of Hood's Sarsaparllla , all from re
liable , grateful people. They tell the story.
FOIl PEA'Cn AMONG NATIONS.
Lecture of Kilivnrtl Everett little nt
Unity Church.
A largo number '
of Omaha's citizens , many
of whom had known the distinguished author
only through the reading of his writings ,
gathered at the Unity church last
evening to listen to Dr. Edward Everett
Halo lecture on "Tho High Court of Na
tions. " The main room was completely filled
and It was found necessary to throw open
the adjoining room to accommodate the au
ditors.
In his Introductory remarks Dr. Halo said
that the explosion of the Venezuelan'question
had led the people to wonder why there ex-
'lated ' no high'tribunal to which questions of
international dispute might be referred. He
said that ho was aware that three out of
every four persons believed that It was all
right to settle such dlsputos by resort to
war. They argued that civilized nations had
always engaged In war the more civilized
the nations the more they fought. It was
because ho believed that three-fourths of his
audience considered a man a crank who
should advocate the pacification of the world
that ho wanted , to argue With them the
necessity of establishing such a high court
of nations. He especially liked to convert
pefcpla to a principle who at the start ut
terly disagreed with him.
Dr. Halo used a number of historical Il
lustrations to show that peace throughout the
civilized world was a possible thing.
"The United States Is the greatest peace
society tha world has ever seen. Hero we
have forty-five statRo living In peace , and
yet there arc causes for quarrels and dis
putes among them that would be judged
sufficiently grave to plunge European , pow
ers Into war.
"Tho nineteenth century , as a whole , has
been a century of peace. In seventy-five In
stances there have been referred to the
courts for arbitration matters that a cen
tury ago would have undoubtedly provoked
war. What wo want today IB a permanent
tribunal to which such questions may be
referred. The trouble with the submission
of such matters as the Venezuela , Alaska
and Alabama questions to commissions of
arbitration in that the questions are not
brought up before those bodies until after
the prejudices of both Bides have been un
duly excited. Thes > o arc boulid to have their
Influence ) on the work of the commission ,
The second difficulty Is the impossibility of
securing testimony other than that which
Is volunteered. The commissions have no
power to summon witnesses. Another objec
tion Is the necessity for a now commission
for tli'o settlement of every question that
may arise.
"Contrast this with the work of the United
States supreme court , which has absolute
authority In matters under Its consideration.
The permanent tribunal should bo modeled
after oiir highest court. It should contain
the princes of the law of the leading na
tions of Christendom. "
It was announced that Dr. Halo would
preach at Unity church tomorrow morning.

Tbo missing Norfolk agent of the Singer

when the arrest was made Curry thought that
he had only a big , lubberly drunk on his hands
Tbo identification was brought about through
Jailer Havey.
Kcnyon , who also goes by tlio name ot F.
Sullivan , was picked out ot a gutter at Twen
tieth" and Paul streets. He was too drunk to
know anything and appeared to have reached
a climax of a two or three days' spree. Ho
was hauled to the police station , where a let
ter was found upon his person , addressed to
himself , Jailer Havoy remembered reading
In The Dee an account of the disappearance
ot the man and at once jumped to the con
clusion that the drunk waa none other than
Kcnyon.
Kcnyon has been put through a course of
quizzing and hat * admitted that ho IK the
man. Ho says , however , that the embezzle
ment wltli wnicli Ho la cnargeu la not largo ,
and that ho can make up all but $20 ar $30 ot
It , The exact amount of the embezzlement
Is unknown to the pollco.

CAItRADELLE , Fla. , Feb. 14. A bent con.
talulng flvo corpses and sis men barely alive
has drifted ashore on Dog Island.
When discovered by two fishermen the sur
vivors were lying unconscious on the de
composing corpses of their companions. The
survivors were revived nud Gilbert Holmes ,
who was strongest , related o story of awful
suffering. Last week the cloven men left
Key West "on a smack to fish on the west
coast. When two days out the smack was
\\recked , the men escaping In a boat with
out food , water OP clothing. Three days after
the wreck Prank Mason died , and soon after
Max Thornton , Alfred Stafford , Joe West
and Nathan Adams succumbed ,
The survivors were too weak to throw their
dead companions Into Iho sea and tlo corpses
remained in the boat. For the last two days
Holmes was the only of the living conscious
and he does not remember all that happened.
The Bceno In the beat was horrible. The
living and the dead , without n rag of clothes ,
were tumbled together. The corpses seemed
to bo gnawed In places nnd the fishermen
suggested that In desperation the survivors
tried to sustain life on the flesh ot their dead
companions.
The six survivors. Jose Roderlguez , Samuel
Williams , Henry Johnson , John Dl.ickburn ,
Arthur Moore and Gilbert Holmes , are being
cared for on Dog Island. Several of them
seem to have been rendered Idiotic by their
sufferings.

Gladness Comes
With a bettor understanding1 of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish heforo proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease , butniraply to a constipated condi
tion of the system , which the pleasant
family laxative , Syrup of Fign , prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions ofJfumllies , and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects arc duo to the fact , tlmt it is the
ono remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness , without debilitating tlio
organs on which it acts. It Is therefore
all important , in order to gut its bene
ficial effects , to note when you pur
chase , that you have the genuine article ,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co , only , and" sold by nil rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health ,
and the system is regular , then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afllioted with any actual dibcasc , ono
may bo commended to the most skillful
physicians , but If in need of a laxative ,
then ono should have tlio best , and with
tlio well-informed every where , Syrup of
Figs stands highest und is most largely
used and trives most general satisfaction.
