BELLIGERENT RIGHTS TO
INSURGENTS.
EXCITEMENT IN SENATE
Stormy Scenes Followed the Adoption of
the Resolution and the Session Had
to He Suspended—Spanish Envoy
Protests—Sensation Created
in Lima, Peru—The First
to Hear Cuba's Cry.
Lima, Peru, Nov. 16.— Something’ of
ft sensation has been caused here by
the news received yesterday from
Sucre, Bolivia, of the favorable report
made by the committee on foreign af
fairs of the Bolivian chamber of depu
ties on a resolution to recognize the
Cuban insurgents as belligerents.
Upon hearing the news, the Spanish
envoy to Peru, Senor de Vanello, who
is also accredited to Bolivia, imme
diately set out for Sucre to look after
Spanish interests at that capital, and
presumably to lodge a protest on be
half of his government against the pro
posed action.
Further advices received from 8ucre
show that the congress had held an
exciting and stormy session to con
sider the resolution. The president of
the chamber declared the resolution
adopted and the senate proceeded to
approve it, in the midst of loud protest
from excited senators, and great con
fusion in the senate chamber, so that
the session had finally to be suspended.
JONES’ NEW YORK RECORD.
Was Noted as One of the Wildest of All
Dynamiters.
New York, Nov. 16.—The news of
the production of an informer in the
Ivory case in London created quite a
sensation and was productive of con
siderable comment in Irish circles in
this .city. Diligent inquiries among
prominent Irish Nationalists failed to
establish the identity of more than ohe
man named Jones who ever had any
connection with Irish matters in
this city. This man's name is
Thomas M. Jones, who was a member
of the Shamrock club and also one of
the secretaries of the Amnesty associa
tion. The Shamrock club, like all
other clubs belonging to the Irish Na
tional alliance, holds meetings open to
the public, at which debates of a liter
ary character frequently take place.
Among the members of the club, it
was learned on good authority, are to
be found the names of very prominent
Irishmen in this city, some of whom
hold responsible State and Federal
Dittoes.
_ Jones held several positions in this
city, but some time ago he started in a
stationery business of his own at 62
Amsterdam avenue, where he lived.
He was frequently heard advocating
wild schemes, and claimed to be a very
advanced physical force man.
C. O'C. McLaughlin, secretary of the
Irish National Alliance, when asked
what he knew of Jones, replied:
“Whether Jones is a friend of Tynan
or Kearney I do not know, but I am
satisfied that if he knows anything of
a so-called dynamite plot, the whole
thing must have originated in his own
brain. According to the cabled reports
he says himself that he has been em
ployed by the English authorities since
181)0, and to my mind it is very evident
that he is delivering ‘gold bricks' to
the Scotland Yard people in return for
a fat remuneration. This trumped up
avidence is another part of the old
worn-out scheme of Scotland Yard
when its sleuths want to secure the
conviction of any Irishman who may
be unfortunate enough to fall into
their hands.”
SALISBURY EXPLAINS.
Semi-Official Statement of Venezuelan
Settlement Oiven Out*
London, Nor. 16.—The following1
semi-official statement on the Vene
zuela question was issued last evening:
‘•Misapprehensions appear to exist as
to the nature of the arrangements
reached between the United States and
Ureat Brituin and Venezuela. Having
preferred to leave the negotiations in
the hands of the United States, Great
liritain agreed with the United States
on conditions of the arbitration. An
actual treaty for this purpose will t>e
concluded between Great Uritain and
Venezuela. But the previous agree
ment outlining the treaty's main pro
visos has already been made between
Ureat Britain and the United States,
and removes the prospect of any diffi
culty between Venezuela and Great
Britain in regard to the terms of the
treaty.
“The decision of the arbitration
court is not expected under twelve
months.
"Anent the terms of years mentioned
in the agreement, it is admitted here
that, there are practically no settlers
on either side of the disputed line who
have been there for over a decade.*'
A Fortune Awaits Them. •
St. Josei‘11. Mo., Nov. 16.—A search
is being made in this city for two wo
men. tlie daughters of a man named
Sanderson, who died here some years
ago. Parties from Ray county. Mis
souri. are searching for them with the

LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
Death of aa Old Kansas Farmer Shrouded
in Mystery—Young Wife Suspected.
Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 1C.—There is
a deep mystery surrounding1 the death
of August Bitterly, a wealthy farmer,
living at Stony Point, nine miles from
this city, which the authorities are
now very busy endeavoring to unravel.
Some startling developments are
promised. The body was discovered
Wednesday by a neighbor who hap
pened to call at the Bitterly home. Cor
oner Leonard was immediately notified
and began an investigation. It was
first thought that Bitterly had com
mitted suicide, but later developments
indicate that he was murdered, and
suspicion rests very strongly on the
young wife of the deceased and a man
who posed as her brother^, but who is
now thought to be her first husband.
About ten days ago the young bride
suddenly disappeared with the best
team of horses on the farm. About
8200 in cash, which was stowed away
in a bureau drawer, disappeared at the
same time.
The supposed brother, who had
made his home with old man Bitterly,
accompanied the runaway bride. The
authorities are inclined to believe that
they were a pair of swindlers and that
the marriage of the young woman to
old man Bitterly was a plot to get hold
of Bitterly’s fortune.
BUTLER WARNS BRYAN.
Populist Chairman Says He Most Aban
don the Name of Democrat.
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 10.— Senator
Butler's paper says editorially:
“Speaking now for the People’s party
of North Carolina, and, we believe, for
the nation, we take the liberty of serv
ing notice on Mr. Bryan that if he de
sires to head the reform forces of the
People’s party in the next tight he
must do so under some other name
than that of Democrat. The name has
been a reproach and a stench among
the people, and it will not be supported
any more, now nor hereafter. In the
campaign just closed the People's party
joined forces with the Democrats, and
the Democrats again played the people
false, grossly and brutally false.
“We are done with tliefti now and
forever, and also with any man who
seeks to lead the people hereafter un
der any standard that may bear the
name or have the smirch of the word
Democrat on it.”

mere court martial of Colonel Mazehan
Bey, who is held responsible for the
murder of Father Salvador.

Mr. McKinley.
Canton, Ohio, Not. 12.—Among the
songratulations received by Mr. Mc
Kinley yesterday was the following
letter from ex-President Harrison:
“The use of the mails instead of the
[vires as the carrier of my congratula
tions does not imply that they are less,
but rather that they are more thought
ful and deliberate. It is a great honor,
Indeed, when a personal success is iden
tified with a great national triumph,
rhe issues forced to the front by the
^hicago platform put the fight on such
Lines that the Republican party could
nse the old breastworks, and make an
unfailing appeal to the patriotism of
the south as well as the North.
“I sincerely hope teat you may be
■ the wisdom and strength needed
in this emergency to restore and es
tablish the prosperity of the nation.”

Iowa Patent Office Report.
Good times are reported at hand.
The banks are willing' and anxious to
loanmoney. Gold is being taken out of
its hiding places and its owners are now
looking for places where it may be in
vested profitably. They have confi
dence in the newly elected government
officials who are pledged to protection
and manufacturing interests. Now is
the time for you to get down to busi
ness, help along the good times and
secure a share in them yourself. There
is no more honorable or profitable bus
iness than manufacturing and selling
patented articles.
For several years the manufacturing
interests of the country have been at
a stand-still, presumably on account of
unfavorable legislation. Whatever the
cause, it is a fact that most of them
will be reopened in the near future to
supply the demauds of ordinary busi
ness, or as we hope of a greatly in
creased business due to restored con
fidence.
Another fact—nearly every profit
able manufacturing industry is en
gaged in making patented articles.
Now; before they start up and have all
their patterns and machinery made, is
the time for you to introduce that idea
of yours, and advance the particular
branch of industry to which it belongs.
There should be thousands of novelties
placed in the market during the ensu
ing year to replace similar articles.
If you have an idea that you think
may be of value, we would be pleased
to advise you as to its novelty and pat
entability free of charge.
Valuable information about obtain
ing, valuing and selling patents sent
free to any address.
Printed copies of the drawings and
specifications of any U. S. Patent sent
upon receipt of 35 cents.
Our practice is not confined to Iowa.
Inventors in other states can have our
services upon the same terms as Hawk

Another Pink Pill Enthusiast
Mr*. Beebe Bays She Would Not Bf
Without Then for Any Inducement
"—Cured Her of a Bad Case of
Chronic Rheumatism.
From the World-Herald, Omaha, Neb.
Mrs. Henry T. Beebe, who for the
past fourteen years has resided at No.
2411 Caldwell street, Omaha, Nebraska,
an enthusiastic admirer of Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pa'le People. Mrs.
Beebe says she would not tie without
Pink Pills for any inducement, as they
have proved to be such a blessing to
her in the past few years.
For many years Mrs. Beebe has been
a sufferer from a severe and very pe
culiar form of chronic rheumatism,
which gave her no rest night or day.
Up to three years ago she did not know
what it was to be relieved from pain
and at times, usually at night, she was
tortured with a concentration of rheu
matism in some one Joint, usually In
the cords of the wrist. After trying
several kinds of remedies recommended
by her friends, she began taking Pink
Pills, and quickly found relief.
Mrs. Beebe says: "There is no doubt
about it, Pink Pills cured me, and I
will never be without them as long as
I can get them. I never fail to recom
mend them to anyone who is suffering
from rheumatism, as they have done
so much for me, and I know they will
do It for others.
jp or years l was troubled with rheu
matism In Its worst form. There was
hardly a minute that I did not suffer,
during a period of twenty years. The
pain was not always in the same place,
but was all through the system. Dur
ing the day, while I was not at all
free from pain, it was not so bad
as at night, when the pain seemed
to concentrate In one spot, and was so
intense that sleep was impossible for
me or anyone around me, and I have
paced the floor all night. At times the
cords of my wrist would become
cramped and knotted so that it would
seem as if something was gnawing
through the bone, and the place would
be black and blue for days after.
"At last, after I had tried several
other kinds of medicines without any
effect, I tried Pink Pills, and had not
taken one box when I saw that they
Vere helping me right along. When I
nad taken the second box tne rheuma
tism was entirely gone, and I have not
had it since, and that was three years
ago. Since I have been cured I have
felt like another woman. I cannot
speak too highly for Pink Pills for Pale
People, and I would recommend them
to anyone that is suffering from any
form of rheumatism. They are the
mildest medicine I have ever taken.
Why, you can let one of the pills lies
on your tongue until it dissolves, and
only a pleasant taste will result from
it. One does not notice the action of
the pills either, but they do more work
In a given time than a dozen of the or
dinary bitter pills.”
When asked how she came to take
Pink Pills, Mrs. Beebe said: "Well, I
saw in the paper a statement that was.
sworn to by a man that had suffered
from nearly the same trouble that I
had, only I do not think it was quite so>
severe, and I thought surely they would
not put in a false affidavit, and I was
positive that no one would swear to a.
falsehood, they ought not to at least,
and as it would cost only fifty cents
to try it, I bought a box with the re
sults I have just related to you.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are also a specific for
troubles peculiar to females, such as
suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases aris
ing from mental worry, overwork or
excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills,
are sold In boxes (never in loose bulk)
at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50,
and may be had of all druggists, or di
rect by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medi
cine Company, Schenectady, N. T.

Texas.
In the agricultural line, Texas leads
all other states in the variety of its
products. Cotton, corn, and the cereals
grow and are raised in every section of
the state and in the central and south
ern portions sugar cane and sorghum,
cane are profitably cultivated. On the
Gulf Coast two or three crops of veg
etables are raised each year. Berries
are shipped six weeks in advance of
the home crop in the north. Pears,
peaches, plums, oranges, figs, olives,
and nuts all grow abundantly and can
be marketed from two to three weeks
in advance of the California crops.
Large quantities of rice are now grown.
If the land seeker, the home seeker,
and the settler desires to secure a
farm larger than the one he occupies,
on vastly more reasonable terms; if he
wants more land to cultivate, a greater
variety of crops to harvest, with pro
portionately increased remuneration,
at a less outlay for cost of production;
if he wants an earlier season, with
correspondingly higher prices; if he
wants milder winter,, all the year pas
turage for his stock, improved health,
increased bodily comforts and wealth
ana prosperity he should go to Texas.
