According to a dispatch from Hartvllle,

mont man who died there In December last,

farm hand who waa aole legatee under Fol
lonshee's will, that he waa ber husband
and that herself and aeven children are
about to take legal action to recover the
estate. Bhe doea not state when or where

children. J. C. Cook, Mrs. Kate Follens
bee'a attorney, returned from HartvIIle last
evening. He states that only property of
the value of $3,600 can be located, though
It waa generally known that the old man
had a large amount of landa In various
states, mortgages, bank stock and other
securities.
A few weeks before Follensbee died he
drew $4,000 from the local bank and disap
peared fof a couple of weeks. Mr. Cook Is
Hot Inclined to discuss the case, but la
confident that Roseman knowa where the

Old Fremontcrs scout tho- Idea of Follons
bee's having a family In South Carolina
unless hia marriage occurred before the
war. He came to Dodge county over thirty
years ago and settled near Maple creek,
passing himself as a single man. While
living there, he became very intimate with
a man by the name of Cherry, and on one
occasion when Cherry's property was about
to be sold In execution he gave him the
money to redeem It. From that-time a
lasting friendship existed between the two
men, and after Follonebee moved to Fre
mont and married. Cherry spent much of
bis time at his friend's house. Follonsbee
bad few equals as a street fakir. An old
acquaintance says: "Why, Ed could go
out. on the street corner and sell anything.
He'd sell second-band shoes for the price
of new ones. He and Cherry followed thla
avocation at. times while he lived here,
.belnK away sometimes for months and re
turning with" considerable money. What he
did with It no one knows. After he left
his family, about eleven years ago, his
friends heard from him occasionally, and
ho made several visits to Fremont, but al
ways left out of sight and claimed to be
afraid of his wife. On one of these visits
In 1898 he said ho had been in the Klon
dike and had made "big money" operat
ing boats on Lake Rennett. He also spoke
of lands a.nd town property he owned in
Minnesota and Montana. His friends are

There la no rjonbt but what he was le
gally married to the Freaiont Mrs. Fol
onsbee, and the clergyman, who performed
tne ceremony la still living and makes an
occasional visit to Fremont. Mrs. Fol
lonsbee siys that the report that her hus
band was picked up In an open boat In tho
Caribbean sea' when a baby and adopted by
Captain Follonsbee, the Newburyport ves
sel captain. Is untrue: that he corresponded
at interval with his Massachusetts rela
tives, and hia father once vlBlted Nebraska
and urged bis son to return home, but In
stead of doing ao ho ordered the old man
out of the dugout In which be waa then
living.
A very strong circumstance Bhowing that
the Missouri Follonsbnt and the former
Fremont street fakir arc one and the same
la that the Fremont man had deep scars
made by a cannon shot- across his legs,
lust below the knee, and the same marks
were seen on tho body, of the Missouri
man.
Mr. Cook Bays that a curator of the es
tate has been appointed pending tho con
teat of the will, and every effort will be
made to find out where the property la.
Roseman1. the farmhand, has employed as
able attorneys as there are in the state,
and a big fight is looked for. He baa In
timated that he knows where Foilon3bee'
property Is located, but won't tell until be Is
paid for it. At flr.it he talked favorably
of a settlement, but since the South Car
olina woman has put in her claim aayo
he "la going to fight as long as there Is
anything to fight for."
Mr. Cook will take the deposition of a
number of Fremont people In regard to
Mra. Follonsbee's marriage and anticlpatea

WASHINGTON. ' Jan. 27. Senator Quay
(Pa.) made an effort Vday to hold the sen
ate in continuous session to consider the
statehood bill, but failed to hold a quorum
nd was compelled on that account to allow
the senate to adjourn at 6:20 p. m. He
secured another ballot, however, to test
the sentiment of the senate, the vote stand
ing 17 to 29 In his favor.
The day was spent in consideration of
the statehood bill, with the exception of an
hour devoted to a speech by Mr. Scott of
West Virginia on the pension laws.
Bevrrlrlave Presents Petition.
Mr. Beverldge (Ind.) presented a petition
from Indian Territory for statehood, which
was rend at the senator's request.
Ha then explained his reason for the
reading, whereupon Mr. Aldrlch (R. I.) re
monstrated, saying thrt it was opposed to
the senate rules to read a petition in de
tail, and also to enter into debate upon It.
He said that both practices were growing
in the senate and that both were repre
hensible.
When the routine business was concluded
at 2:40 Mr. Quay (Pa.) moved to take up the
statehood bill, but he was met by Mr. Al
drlch with a point of order to the effect
that under the rules of the senate the mo
tion was out of order and that the bill
could not be taken up before 1 o'clock with
out unanimous consent.
Mr. Quay responded that this rule was
alternative, permitting business to proceed
after the conclusion of the routine business,
or at 1 o'clock.
The chair, Mr. Frye, said he was Inclined
to decide against the point and expressed
a desire to hear from Mr. Aldrich, but Mr.
Scott (W. Va.) claimed the floor on a pre
vious notice and proceeded to address the
senate.
Pensions for the Veterans.
Mr. Scott spoke on his resolution, pro
viding for a commission to suggest changes
in the pension laws and to inquire Into
the advisability of granting a pension of
$12 per month to any soldier of the civil
war who served ninety days. In the course
of his remarks be said:
Laree ns the pension roll now appears,
mammoth as seems the aggregate of a na
tion's bounty, I. is an aggregate summed
from all its fars. Yet, however large that
roll be, it la not so large as the muster
roll, and no man who answered the call
to which none but the true and brave
responded should now be forgotten.
ao. Mr. President, read tne muster ron
from 'til to '65. subtract from It those
that sleeD In the cemeteries, ana then
compare the remainder with the pension
roll and tell me where the vast army Is.
Who cares for them? There Is not one
of them, perhaps, but who was as brave
and true a patriot as his comrades who
are now provided for. Their names have
never been enrolled upon the pension list.
They have been knocking, but knocking
In vain. I'pon what principle or Justice, Dy
what teaming or numanuy, snail one-nan
be clothed and the other naked? It waa
the blood of the union soldier that ce
mented the etones erected by the fathers
of the constitution, and they are not ask
ing for the iHst drop of blood and the last,
pound of flesh, but are asking for an
equitable distribution of the fruits of their
handiwork.
Only a Rranty Recompense.
This resolution provides tnat tne union
VAtaran ha no iri 112 nor month after reach
ing the age of 2 and making application
for the same. This will be a scanty living;
even then the wolf will howl close by.
After the age of 2 few men, especially
those who have undergone the hardships of
ar art, nhln to do manual labor. Many
of these are today worthy and suffering for
the necessities of life.
1 believe this resolution will meet the
hearty approval of a brave and generous
nonnln. I know it will meet the approval
of ojr conscience. Let this commission be
appointed, let It assume the task that will
appeal to duty and to patriotism, and not
to partisansnip or sectionalism. me
members be men who cannot be swerved
from dutv by the cheer of the demagogue
or the groans of the miser, and recom
mend to the next congress such a measure
as will simplify our present complex system
and broaden tne peaestai oi our pni-
lanthropy. When the soldier served ninety
days and was honorably discharged and
reached tho age of 62 he should receive from
this government not less tnan ii per
month. This will give him a few of the
necessities and none of the luxuries of life.
It is smal to the individual and tne ag
gregate would never be felt by this people.
Can human aenlus devlss a more appro
priate outluy for the accumulated surplus?
it wouia prove a Beueruus mciiiuu ui re
distribution. Mnv a soldier files Ms claim and long
before it is reached he has passed over the
river and filed a claim, elsewhere. Nearly
forty vears have come and gone; 8H1.076
applications are on tile; of these 470.8SO have
been allowed, leaving nearly 400,000 not
acted upon. At this rate It will require
eighty years to complete the roll and when
completed there will be none left to an
swer it.
Quay Raises Objection.
Mr. Quay (Pa.) gave notice that he would
not consent to the displacement of the
statehood bill for other measures, and Mr.
Burnham (Mo.) proceeded with bis speech
against the omnibus bill.
When Mr. Burnham concluded Mr. Piatt
(Conn.) spoke of the report that Arizona
ia seeking to repudiate some of its. bonds,
and said If this waa true it would prove
an Insuperable objection to the bill.
Mr. Foraker (O.) said the bonds referred
to were originally Issued by Pima county
and were declared fraudulent and Illegal
by the United States supreme court. After
ward there had been legislation by con
gress making the debt valid as against the
territory as a whole, and then the court
had held the bonds to be binding.
The proceeds from the sale of bonds bad
been pocketed by . a "lot of thieves and
scoundrels" and he declared that the legis
lation by congress placing the responsi
bility on the territory bad been induced by
the bondholders.
Mr. Lodge (Mass.) said the bonds In
question belonged to the firm of which

The senate passed the bill providing for
the allotment of lands In severalty to the
Indians In Lac Courts Oreille, and Lao de
Flambeau reservations In Wisconsin.
Consideration of the statehood bill was
resumed and Mr. Beverldge addressed tbe
senate on tbe Pima county debt. On con
clusion of Mr. Beverldge's remarks, Mr.
8cott (W. Vs.) moved an executive ses
sion, whereupon Mr. Quay suggested the
absence of a quorum.
Fifty senators answered to their names
and Mr. Quay asked for a roll call on Mr.
Scott's motion, who then withdrew the mo
tion. Mr. Beverldge suggested that It waa time
for adjournment.
Mr. Quay responded that he did not desire
a night session, but said It was for the
purpose of making progress with the bill.
Mr. Lodge made an appeal for adjourn
ment until tomorrow. He said that any
effort at unusual methods would be met
by obstruction.
Mr. Quay asked for tbe yeas and noes
on the motion to adjourn and the vote re
sulted In the defeat of the motion by 17
to 29.
Mr. Scott (W. Va.) moved to go Into
executive session. The vote stood 10 to
27, not a quorum, whereupon Mr. Quay
himself moved that the senate adjourn,
giving notice that tomorrow he would ask
for a continuous session. Accordingly, at
6:22, the aenate adjourned.
CANNOT IMPORT LIQUORS
Residents of Prohibition states are
Debarred by Honae Bill from
BrlaalnaT Drink la.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. The bouse de
voted today to bills reported from the Ju
diciary committee, passing about twenty.
Most of them were of a minor character,
relating to the times of holding court, but
two were of more importance. One was to
meet the original package decision of the
supreme court by making Intoxicating
liquors Imported Into states subject to tbe
Jurisdiction of such states, and the other
was the senate bill to increase the sala
ries of federal Judges.
Other bills passed creating additional
district Judges In the southern district of
New York and In Minnesota and provide
additional circuit Judges In the Eight Judi
cial district.
Mr. Bartholdt (Mo.) opposed the original
package bill on the ground that It would
legalize prohibition.
Several of the Iowa members explained
how the prohibition law In Iowa was
evaded by tmportatlona under the original
package decision.
The bill finally was passed without
division.
When the senate bill to Increase the
salaries of United States Judges waa called
up Mr. Smith (Ky.) opposed It, maintain
ing that the work of the Judges had not
Increased enough to warrant the Increase
and that the Increased cost of living, ad
vanced as an argument In favor of tbe bill,
was not a sufficient reason. On the con
trary, he argued the cost of living today
waa lower than when the aalarles were
fixed.
Mr. Drlscoll (N. Y.) also opposed the bill.
He said there should be a law which would
prevent any man who beld an office from
receiving an Increase of salary during bis
incumbency.
Mr. Cannon (III.) concluded ths pro
tracted debate by saying the bill Increased
the aalarles of the United States Judiciary
25 per cent, or about $170,000. The country
needed and could afford to pay liberal sal
aries for capable Judges.
On motion of Mr. Olmsted (Pa.) an
amendment was adopted striking from the
bill the provision abolish Ink the payment
of any expenses of federal judges.
Mr. Randall (Tex.) offered an amend
ment to prohibit federal judges from ac
cepting free transportation from railroads
or telegraph Or telephone franks.
"I move to amend by adding, "members
of congress," cried Mr. Babcock (Wis.).
"I accept tbs amendment," replied Mr.
Randall.
Mr. Mann (111.), however, raised a point
of order against It and waa sustained.
Mr. Randall's amendment was lost by 88
to 114 and the bill passed by 125 to 74.

CORRECTS MINERS' WAGES
Markle'i Accountant Takes Eack Figure!
Freiantad to Strike fommitte.
KNOWS NOTHING OF DEAD MAN'S DEBTS
Indue Gray Orows Impatient when
Information Cannot Be Obtained
and Declares Wltnea t aeleas
to Help Arbitrators Settle.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27. The testimony
presented today before the coal strike com
mission was varied and Interesting, an Im
portant witness being Albert C. Lcisenrlng.
superintendent of the Upper Lehigh Coal
company, who said he believed the meeting
of employer and employe to be beneflcjal
to both parties. He was asked if he pre
ferred to allow bis mine to fill with water
rather than grant an eight-hour working
day and replied In the negative.
Another witness was H. M. Christ, a coal
breaker builder, who said ho was refused
"permission" by tbe district officers of the
union to build two breakers while tbe strike
was In progress.
P. Edward Ross, a professional account
ant, was called to show the wages paid by
the o. R. Markle company, but was com
pelled to change many of the figures In the
company'a answer to the miners' demands
recently published. In every case the
amounts atated were higher than the sun's
actually paid. Judge Gray became Impa
tient at thla and expressed his displeasure
In pointed terms.
At the afternoon session Willard Young,
who acted as a special coal and iron police
man -during the strike, insisted that a
reign of terror existed in the Lehigh re
gions, but under cross-examination several
times contradicted himself regarding the
nature of the disturbances which he said
had occurred.
.Markle Concludes Case.
The O. B. Markle company concluded Its
case with the testimony of Edward Ross,
who audited the accounts for ten years.
Mr. Roise asked permission to correct
some of the figures contained in the com
pany's answer, but when the corrections
were made most of the amounts given as
average wages were reduced. The figures,
witness Bald, were the net earnings of con
tract miners, and the average for ten to
aleven and one-hal fmonths was $654. In
some cases miners earned more than $1,000
in one year, but that was exceptional.
He was asked ts explain the statement
of Mrs. Michael Burns, whoso husband died
indebted to the company and who with her
son had worked for years to liquidate thw
debt. Witness' answer was unsatisfactory
and the chairman, becoming Impatient,
said:
Wants the Facts.
"Of all things in the world, get a pro
fessional accountant who can't see any
thing unless It Is in a column of figures.
Let us get at the facts that underlie the
bookkeeper's statement. Do you know
whether the boy or his mother received any
money-from tbe company during the time
specified?"
"I don't know," answered witness.
Addressing counsel, Judge Gray said:
"This man does not know anything about
this case?"
"I think that is hardly fair," responded
the lawyer.
"I do not usually resort to strong ex
pressions of opinion without reason," re
turned the Judge. "This man knows only
what bis figures show."
Further questioning Bhowed that Mrs.
Burns was Indebted to the company for
coal and rent which waa eventually charged
to profit and loss.
Under cross-examination witness said
he waa not aware that two or more per
sons frequently figured in the wsges cred
ited to one man, which fact, miners' coun
sel said, might account for the high wages
paid in exceptional cases.
Union nictates to Contractor.
H. M. Christ, a builder of coal breakers
of Mahonoy City, said he wanted to erect
a breaker at Frankvllle and onr at Shen
andoah during the strike. He was told
by union men that he could not proceed
with the work under tbe ruling of the
Hazleton convention. He appealed to Mr.
Mitchell, who Informed him, by letter, that
the convention bad taken no action on
matters of that kind, but the executive
committees of the three anthracite dis
tricts requested thst all persons employed
In such work cease until the strike, ended.
Mr. Mitchell said he could do nothing but
carry out that policy.
Witness then referred tbe matter to the
district executive committees, but Presi
dent Fahey was unable to grant him "per
mission" to proceed, although witness
agreed to employ as many members of the
miners' union as possible.
TOOK A 2TRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment la a Reatan
rant. Ad advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while on a
recent western trip, was dining one evening
in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While watting for his order he glanced
over bis newspaper and noticed the adver
tisement of a well known dyspepsia prepa
ration, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets; as be
himself was a regular user of tbe tablets
be began speculating as to bow many of
the other traveling men In the dining
room were also friends of the popular rem
edy for indlgstlon.
He says: "I counted twenty-three men
at the tables and In the hotel office I took
tbe trouble to Interview them and was sur
prised to learn that nine of the twenty
three made a practice of taking one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.
One of them told me he bad suffered ao
much from stomach trouble that at one
time he had been obliged to quit the road,
but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets had been entirely free from indigestion,
but he contiuued their ute, especially while
traveling, on account of irregularity in
mcuU and because like ail traveling men he
was often obliged to eat what be could get
and not always what ho wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ato a meal witbout
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because
be could eat what be pleased and when
be pleaoed, without fear of a sleepless
night or any other trouble.
Still another Ubed them because he waa
subject to gas on stomach, causing pressure
on heart and lungs, shortnesa of brealb
aud distress In chest, which he no longer
experienced since using tbe tablets regu
larly. Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was the only safe remedy he had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity.
He had formerly used common soda to re
lieve the trouble, but the tablets were much
belter and baler to use.''
After smoklug, drinking or other excesses
natural digestives, pepmu diastase, which
ing restores the stomach to a healthy,
wholesome condition so effectively as
Smart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
natural digestive, peraln, lianas?, which
every weak stomach lacks, as well as nux,
hydrastin and yellow parilla, and can be
safely relied upon as a radical-cure for
every form of poor dlgeastloa. Sold by

"I am anxious to show my gratitude
for what Peruna has done tor me, and .
hope this will reach the eyes of some
woman who has suffered as I did. For
three years I hadentense pain regularly
every month with cramps and head
ache. At such times I was hardly able
to be about and felt very weak and
worn out. I tried a much advertised
remedy but found that It jtave me no
relief, when a visitor advised me to try
Peruna, telling; me how it had cured
her of a similiar trouble. I have so of
ten since thanked her for calling my
attention to it for it is certainly a
blessed medicine for sick women. Al
most from the first day I felt better and
within five weeks I had added nine
pounds to my weight and It seemed I
never felt better in my life. I have en
Joyed the best of health since and
gladly endorse Peruna for I can thank
it for my good physical condition."
Ella M. Moreland.
A Physlcan's Endorsement-
Dr. M. C. Gee, Is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a lettrr written
from 513 Jones street, Sun Frauclsco, Cnl.,
he says:
"Thore is a general objection on the part
of the practicing physician to advocate
patent medicines. But when any one medi
cine cures hundreds of people, it demon
strates its own value and does not need
the endorsement of the profession.
"Peruna has performed soniany won
derful cures in San Francisco' that I am
convinced that It Is a valuable remedy.
I have frequently advised Its use for wo
men, as I find It insures regular and paln
less menstratlon, cures leuchorrhoea and
ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire
system. I also ennaider it one of the fin
est catarrh remedies I know of. I heartily
endorse your medicine." M. C. Geo,

If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the uso of Peruna

full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give - you hia valuable ad
