complaint:

Several months ago Charles T. Jenkins, a
Lancaster county attorney, was found guilty
of contempt of court and lined by Judge
Sedgwlek. Tho attorney appealed to tho
supremo court nnd a decision was after
wards rendered against him. Ho was re
cently granted a rehearing nnd In response
to bin appeal the state today filed a brief
in the supreme court. The case has at
tracted considerable Interest. The following
interesting paragraphs nro taken fiom the
brief of tho state:
"Wo havo some fault to Iind with Mr.
Jonklus In regard to homo matters which
nppear In his latest literary effort In this
case. In that he springs some new and quite
unexpected propositions.
"The first of these reads as follows: 'Wo
took our probation In tho law under the
Instruction of the late Hon. 0. l Mason
ami believe that wo havo been a close and
caroful student at all timet".' Now, Just how
many there are of Mr. Jenkins Is not ills
cloned by the unexplained personal plural
'we,' hut wo presumo ho intend to refer to
his dual character as Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde; at least, that Is tho only Icgltlmnto
nnd appropriate use he could make for the
plural.
"Hut It Is unfair to spring such n thing
an this on tut at this lato time. All through
these proceedings he has led us to believe,
that ho never had any real legal trninlng,
but that, like Topsy, he 'ica grewed.' and
now ho overwhelms us with the statement
of a fact highly Important In th's case, for
which we were entirely unprepared and Iho
existence cf which wo certainly had no right
to stuped. "
Jenkins had made some objection to cer
tain niattorn that had been brought up In
thn supremo court, ns he contended, tiutaldo
tho evidence. On this point tho attorneys
for tho stato say:
"In this trial for contempt we make no at
tempt to prove all the facts which led to
tho making of the Interlocutory order. They
are not properly before the court, but were
drawn In. so far as they appear, by Jenkins
hlnnelf. Wo onlv sought to show that tho
ordor wan duly made and had been con
temptuously disregarded. The evidence In
those respects Is very conclusive, though
It comprises lets than hnlf the record, being

months ago in tho Philippine islands, was ,
In tho city several hours today. Ho left to-
night for h h home near Mllford and will 1
tcmaln there until ho rccovets from his
wounds, which aro of a very serious nature,
Captaln Culver was n month in the hos- ,
pltal at Manila and Is yet unable to walk '

hundred of the Maccabebes havo tnken up

"We have tho larger bodies of Insurgents
well dispersed." said Captain Culver, "and
tho natives aro now divided Into small bands, i
They scatter and then concentrate Into bands
of 200 or 300 nnd attack our men In a man
ner quite similar to the Indian warfare on
tho plains in this country years ngo. In
prlvato dispatch on nnd proclamations that
wo havo captured tho Insurgents aro In
structed to scatter and annoy tho enemy
until after tho fall election In tho states,
when their friends will be elected. And be

"When tho Insurrection first began several
tribes Joined with tho Tagalos on tho rep
rceentatlon of tho latter that the American
soldlcts would help them In their revenge
against Spain They have slnco withdrawn
from tho insurrection nnd we now havo seven
companies of 'Maccabebrn organized as corp3
of scouts. They even asked for tho privilege
of fighting tho TagalcH. There Is no doubt
that tho Insurrection Is held up by tbo en
couragement received from tho United
States. With very few exceptions, through
out tho Tagalo provinces, the business men
nro petitioning for our troops to bo gar
risoned In their towns for their own protec
tion nnd for the protection of commercial in
terests In general.
"I think that with the exercise of terri
torial government, with tho United States
nffordlng protection to life and to com
merce, tho Philippine Islandn will make a
very wealthy and prosperous country. Ev
erywhere they nro welcoming American
schools, many of which aro taught by our
soldiers."
As to tho efTect of a republican victory at
tho next fall election Captain Culver said:
"So far 03 any organization Is concerned
they will certainly lay down their arm If
they sen tho present administration Is to
bo continued, while on tho other hand, If
Bryan Is elected thcro will be troublo
throughout the Islands and the Insurgents
will have trouble nmonc themsel Vf. In tha
event of bis election each people of any
considerable number would assume to havo
a government of its own.
"It In very noticeable." continued Captain
Culver, "that tho more Intelligent people
n mo i-niitppino islands, I mean the ua
Uvea, of course, feel the need of a uniform
Innguage. While no tribe will nccept tho
language of another tribe they aro. In most
cases, willing to compromise on English."

"In till other matters," says Mr. Woods,
"he Is nn honorable, straightforward man

A Noted Knight Templar
Owes His Health to Peruna
Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight
Templar. Is well known ln every city In tho
Fnlted States west of Buffalo, N. Y. ln
tho city of Chicago as a prominent lodgo
man, being a member of tho K. T.'s and nlso
of tho Masons. Tho cut shows Colonel
Moody in tho costtimo of tho Oriental Con
sistory Masons, 32ml degree.
In a recent letter from 6000 .Michigan nve
nue. Chicago, III., Sir. Moody eays tho fol
lowing: "For over ttvont) -live jeurs I

"My wife, as many In tho southwest can
say. wns troubled with n bad cough nnd
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
tho country gavo her up to die, ns they
could do nothing more for her. Sho began
taking Peruna, with tho result that sho Is
better now than nhc has been In years, and
her cough has almost left her entirely. The
soreness has left hor lungs nnd sho Is as
well ns she ever was In her llfe with
thanks, ns sho says, to Peruna. Yours very
ru'y- T. P. MOODY.
Catarrh In Its various forms Is tnpldly be
coming n general curse. An undoubted
remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hart
man. This remedy has been thoroughly
tested during tho Inst forty years. Promi
nent men have come to Ifnow of Its vlrturcs
and nre making public utterances on the
subject. To snvo the country wo must save
tho people. To save tho people wo must
protect thetn frotn dlsense. Tho dlseaso that
It at onco tho most prevalent and, stub
born of euro Is cntnrrh.
If ono were to make a list of the differ
ent names that havo been applied to ca
tarrh ln different locntlonn nnd organs,
tho result would bo astonishing. Wo
havo often published a partial lltt of theso
names, and tho surprise caused by the
first publication of it to all people, both
professional and non-professional, was
nmnslng. And yet we havo never (nutuc
tated nil of tho diseases which nro classed

to Bco even this partial list drawn up in
