The Quay trial is progressing
ami thus far the prosecution have
secured the admission of the bank
hooks, letters telegrams, etc., hop
ing to make a case of circumstantial
evidence. On Monday the Court
gave the Commonwealth a blow
below the belt by refusing to allow
any evidence prior to November.
1X9(5, thereby knocking into a
cocked hat the line laid out by the
persecutors or prosecution. Mr.
Quay's friends insist there is no
incriminating evidence affecting
the Senator and the public will
watch the closing days of the trial
with much interest.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 17th, 1899.
President McKinley has 110 ap
prehension that the trouble oil the
Sainoan islands will lead to inter
national complications of a serious
nature, but he i.s fully determined
that the Commission, representing
the IT.l T . S.. Great Britain and Ger
niany. which will sail from San
Francisco on the 2">th inst.. on the
I*. S. auxiliary cruiser Badger,
shall fix the responsibility for all
the mischief done over there, in
cluding the ambuscading of the
American and British marines, re
sulting in the killing of two Amer
ican officers and two privates, and
one British officer and two privates.
In order that he may fully com
prehend his instructions, Hon.
Bartlett Tripp, has been summoned
to Washington, by telegraph, to
confer with the President and Sec
retary Hay.
Spain has been notified, through
the French Ambassador, that the
820,000, <>00 called for by the
treaty of peace, will be paid on
demand, in New York, in I . S.
gold coin, or in gold bars, as may
be preferred. This is anticipatory,
as this goverment has the right,
under the treaty, to defer the pay
ment until six months after the
date of the exchange of copies of
the treaty.
Secretary Alger, who has just
returned to Washington and re
sumed his duties.after a tour inCuba
and Porto Rico, for the purpose of
making a personal inspection of
our Military Government on those
islands, said: "I return to Wash
ington with renewed faith. All
that I had ever imagined has been
vnore than realized. Under 110 cir
cumstances would I now consent
to the surrender of Porto Rico,
which is now our territory, nor
would I place the slightest check
upon the great work which is being
done for Cuba. The duty we have
taken upon ourselves, of holding
Cuba in trust for civilization, is a
noble one. Every cent of money,
every hour of time, which we sire
expending, is being wisely invested.
The army officers have entered
upon their work with earnestness
and industry and the good results
of their labors are already ap
parent. ''
The only reason why the instruc
tions given the U. S. Commission
ers to the Czar's disarmament con
ference have not been made public
is that it it would not be proper to
state the official attitude of this
government 011 the matters to be
considered at the conference in
advance of its meeting. There are
reasons tor the belief that arbitra
tion fills a large part in the instruc
tions.
It is not likely that any official
notice will be taken of the demand
of Gov. Lee, of South Dakota, that
the volunteers from that State,
now in the Philippines, should be
at once mustered out of service
and sent home, because notice is
not considered necessary. The
whole matter of mustering out the
volunteers in the Philippines was
placed at the discretion of Gen.
Otis, weeks ago—March, 1(5, to be
exact —no positive order being is
sued to him by the War Depart- j
ment except that whatever the
exigency, no individual who had
good reason for wishing his dis- j
charge, should be kept in the j
service. Had he cared to have in
formation on the subject, before
writing a demand which struck
most men as being silly, to the
President, Gov. Lee could easily
have ascertained that 110 volunteer
in the Philippines from South
Dakota or any other state is being i
kept in service against his will. '
But he wanted the notoriety he got i
by writing his open letter to the j
President, or rather by signing a
letter believed Lave been pre- !
pared by Senator Pettigrew, with
the hope that ii would be embar
rassing to President McKinl v; a :
hone that wa- :: n realized. .Mr. i
li. 8. Person, of South Dakota,
who i.s temporarily residing in
Washington, said of this letter:
"The sentiment of the people of
South Dakota is not voiced, and
President McKinley may rest as
sured that it is simply another case
of hearing from Senator Pettigrew.
The alleged demand from the Gov
ernor does not represent the senti
ment of the patriotic people of
j South Dakota, any more than
I Gov. Lee represents the intelligent
j citizenship of that State."
Mr. C. C. Donovan, of Santa
I Rosa, California, who is visiting
Washington, said; "The most
| popular man in California is Presi
| dent McKinley. 1 voted for Bryan
| in '!KS, hut next year 1 hope to east
j a vote for the present occupant of
the White House. I have lots of
j democratic friends who are as
anxious to reverse their votes as I
| am. We think McKinley has con
j ducted himself through all the try
: ing war times a statesman and
| patriot, and the coast is pretty
| nearly solid for him."

His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lily, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightftil death. In
telling of it he says:"l was taken with
typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs were hardened. I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to
soon die of consumption, when I heard
of Dr. King's New Discovery. One
bottle gave great relief. I continued
to use it, and now am well and strong.
I cannot say too much in its praise."
This marvelous cure is the quickest
and surest cure in the world for all
throat and lung trouble. Regular size

It makes no difference how bad the

leave no scar. R. C. Dodson. 81y
The highest mountain in the world,
it is said, is called Mt. McKinley. Billy

Pneumonia, la grippe, coughs, colds,
croup and whooping-cough readily
yield to One Minute Cough Cure. Use
t his remedy in time and save a doctor's

The number of men who would
rather be right than president is not
equal to the number that will never be
either.
By allowing the accumulations in the
bowels to remain, the entire system is
poisoned. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
regulate the bowels. Try them and
you will always use them. 11. O. Dod

The grand opera stars are all fixed

Sonic of the results of the neglected
dyspeptic conditions of the stomach
are cancer, consumption, heart disease
and epilepsy. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
prevents all this by effecting a quick
cure in all cases of dyspepsia. R. C.

According to an English scientist,
Adam and Eve were negroes. He wil!
next be trying to prove the apple that

If you have piles, cure tliem. No
use undergoing horrible operations
that simply remove the results
of the disease without disturb
ing the disease itself. Place your con
fidence in DeWitt's With Hazel Salve.
It has never failed to cure others; it
will not fail to cure you. R. C. Dod

Mr. Bryan still sticks to the belief
that the next president should be

J. D. Bridge, editor and proprietor

R. C. Dodson. Sly
Talking of Jeffersonian simplicity, a
good many of his followers nowadays
seem to bo pretty simple.
Don't think you can euro that slight 1
attact of Dyspepsia by dieting, or that )
it will cure itself. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure will cure it; it "digests what you
eat" and restores the digestive organs
to health. R. C. Dodson. 81y i
The Cubans will probably get their j

If you suffer from tenderness or full- j
ness on the right side, pains under i
shoulder-blade, constipation, bilious- j
ness, sick-headache, and feel dull, !
heavy and sleepy your liver is torpid j
and congested. DeWitt's Little Early j
Risers will cure you promptly, pleas- 1
antly and permanently by removing
the congestion and causing the bile I
ducts to open and flow naturally. They j
are good pills. R. C. Dodson. 81y
