RESERVATION BOUNDARIES. An Attempt to Settle Disputed Points Re- garding the Surveys. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4.—Gen- eral Otis, in command of the Department of the Columbia, has taken the necessary steps, according to an order received at the army headquarters, to settle some dis- d points regarding the surveys of the tary reservations located in that de- would nece; ce to join a es A. Homan, clerk at headquar- ters, Vancouver. has gone to Olympia, Wash., to consult and compare certain rec- ords of the United States Land Office.there with the field notes of surveys of military reservations situated on Puget Sound, with ew to the correction of the latter if errors are found therein. He will then proceed to Tacoma and join a detachment £oon to be detailed and placed under the | personal supervision of the acting engi- neer officers’ department for the purpose of determining accurately the boundaries end extent of certain military reservations in that section, and to ascertain if any por- tions of the same are illegally occupied. BN TR, WHITE HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS. There Has Been a General Renovation in Reception Iooms. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4—The an- nual renovation oi the White House in the absence of the President’s family means more this year than usual. Beside the ordinary cleaning and painting a num- ber. of changes will be made. The most important of these is the new doorway at hte rear of the red room. This has been done in order to facilitate the egress at re- ceptions and obviate the necessity of the wisitors having to make their way through the dense throng that usnally on such oc- casions makes the inner corridor almost imvpassable. This new doorway has been cut 1o correspond in every way with the peautisul old-fashioned ones that lead re- spéctively to the red and green rooms. The, last. important finishing touches of the polish that will bring out the rosewood to perfection alone remain to be given. In the east room the furniture will be en- tirely covered in gold-colored satin damask emala exercising the | aimed, without any quali- | he will e his influence to Soto in Presidency of Honduras. | se who are familiar with the present ons in the little Latin-American say that a new revolution can a on the north and Costa Rica | U similar to that now in use. The curtains will be renewed and there will also be new carpets so that the effect will be that of general newness throughout the imposing apartment in the White House, where strangers often congregate to greet the Chief Executive. TR e URGES RAMIE CULTURE. Mission of Mr. Slaught to the National Capital. WASHINGTON,D.C.,Aug. 4.—To secure & governmental appropriation of $150,000, to be divided equally for the establishment of the ramie stations on the Pacific Slope, in [ the South and near Washington, is the purpose of S. H. Slaught of California, whois at present in Washington conferring with Yublic officials regarding the matter. Mr. Slaught claims that ramie is stronger than silk, of a lustre almost its equal, and that when manufactured into cloth will wear better. The Agricultural Department thus far has received his advances coldly, notwithstanding his well fortified asser- | tions that the growth of the plant is profit- | able and that it has been easily raised in California and also in the District of Col- umbia within the past few months. His plan has the indorsement of all the mem- ‘hcrs of the Caiifornia delegation in the Jast Congress, as well as such prominent San Franciscans as Irving M. Scott, the ship-builder; T. G. Phelps, the ex-Collector of Customs; “Lucky” f&a[d“‘in, the mil- lionaire horse-raiser; H. 8. Crocker & Co., State officials and others. e LIFE CHEAP, INDEED. Cutting Remarks at the Funeral af Miss Flagler’s Victim. | 'WASHINGTON,D. C., Aug. 4—Twenty- five hundred persons to-day attended the funeral services of Ernest Green, the little colored boy shot by Miss Elizabeth Flag- ler last Friday. There were many white | persons in the vast audience that filled iloh Baptist Church and crowded the pavement outside the edifice. Contrary to expectations, there was absolutely no ex- citement and the remarks of the offi- | erate. Rev. J. A. Taylor, pastor of | the church, was assisted by Rev. Walter Brooks. Rev. Mr. Taylor dwelt chiefly on the { idea that public sentiment was rather with | Mass Flagler than the parents of the dead | boy, and he hoped that the time would |soon come when color or social status would have no influence in determining punishment for the taking of human life. Rev. Mr. Brooks declared that life was cheap, indeed, when a jury could £nd a verdict fixing the price of a boy’s life at the value of a pear, and pears only 25 cents a bask NDFORWALLER'S FAMILY An Appeal Issued by Attorneys of the Imprisoned Ex~ Consul. Grlevous Wrong Said to Have Been | Done by the French Forces in Madagascar. WASHINGTON, D. | mon Kennedy, John ) William McGuire, counsel in behalf of { John L. Waller, ex-United States Consul | at Tamatave, Madagascar, have issued an appeal asking for contributions to a fund | which will enable Mrs. Waller and her family, now at Mauritis, to reach the United States. After narrating the facts in connection with Waller’s arrest, convic- | tion and sentence by the French authori- | ties, the appeal proceeds: | Funds are needed to bring Mrs. Waller and her family home. She has important evidence in support of her husband’s innocence of the Aug. 4.—Cram- French court-martial at Tamatave. The De- partment ot State is inquiring into Waller's | claim against the French Government for | illegal arrest and imprisonment and the vir- | tual confiscation of ‘a valuable concession | which had been granted to him by the Queen | of Madagascar, but has no funds available for | bringing Mrs. Waller and her children to the Inited States. | “Mr. Waller was one of the leading men of | color in this country; his efforts and sacrifices in behalf of negro elevation cannot be over- c and itis hoped that systematical and mmediate efforts will be made by the colored people in their churches and through other agencies to raise funds for the relief of his | needy and unfortunate family. | Ttisbelieved that a grievous wrong has been done to Waller and Bray by the French mili- tary authorities in their war of conquest | against Madagascar, for which, sooner or later, | apology will be made to the United States and indemnity paid to the sufferers. But this appeal is made to citizens of the ‘l‘ d States without regard to_the question | of Waller’s guilt or innocence. His wife and family are American citizens and through no fault of theirs are destitute and helpless far away irom home. It is to be regretted that the Government has no funds available for such cases as that of Mrs. Waller's family, and 1t is on this account that an appeal is made to the general public. All contrbutions may be sent 1o the Department of State. The document states that Mr. Waller was assistant superintendent of the Kan- sas Asylum for the Education of the Blind that State before he was appointed Consul at Tamatave, having been one of the Presidential electors-at-large from Kansas | in 1888. 1 el s PROTESTS AGAINST ABUSES. A Mexican Archbishop and the Worship of St. Expedito. NEW YORK, Y., Aug. 4—A morn- | ing paper has the feollowing special from the City of Mexico: The Archbisbop of Guadalajara has addressed a circular letter to the clergy under his charge, in which he sa; “Having heard that the worship he people give to St. Expedito has passed beyond the limit of what is just and reasonable, and that in churches where it is exposed to the gaze of the faithful his image is continually surrounded by groups of people who seemingly attribute to it divine powers, demanding of it innumer- able things, 1 hereby raise my voice | against these abuses and against the exag- gerated devotion paid to this saint. J ~ ““Therefore, in order to eradicate effect- ually this growing evil, I prohibit placing thi nt in churches until such time as the worship paid to that saint is reduced to proper limits.’’ he Archbishop complains that the manufacture and sale of the image of St. Expedito have grown to commercial pro- portions. Devout Catholics have been invoking for a few years the aid of this St. Expedito, a comparatively new saint, with the reputation of expediting things. This saint is especially invoked in des- | perate cases, where there appears to be prospect of success. In a brief time this saint has become the most popular of ail the saints. —— NON-UNION MEN ASSAILED. Chicago Police Saved the Lives of Several Painters. CHICAGO, Ir.., Aug. 4—Five union painters, led by John H. Fleming, a walk- ing delegate, maae a murderous attack this afternoon on several non-union men who were painting and kalsomining the Doolittle schoolhouse on Fifty-fifth street. The arrival of half a dozen policemen in a patrol-wagon saved the non-union men i from being killed. Albert Baldorf of 583 West Van Buren street had his skull frac- tured and an arm broken. Christ Spencer of 3016 South Park avenue was injured on the head. While the assault was in prog- ress the police arrived and gave chase to | the fleeing assailants. e S The Engineer Killed.

HIT BY THREE BULLETS. Though Badly Wounded the Outlaw Made a Desper- ate Resistance. SURROUNDED IN A CORNFIELD. He Opened Fire When Ordered by the Pursuers to Throw Up His Hands. WICHITA, Kaxs., Aug.4.—“Zip” Wyatt, alias Dick Yeager, the intrepid leader of the murderous band of outlaws thatsprang up in the Territory immediately after the extermination of the famous Dalton gang, was captured ten miles east of Sheridan to-day after one of the fiercest fights that has ever occurred in the Oklahoma coun- try. The Wyatt gang—or the Yeager gang, as it is variously known—has made a fearful record that is written in the blood of thany a hapless victim, in the tears of sorrowing widows and children. It knew no law and respected no rights, and for several years has preyed upon the people of the new country, who seemingly were powerless to cope with the daring and reckless band. Train and bank robberies were of frequent occurrence, and express companies were forced to discontinue the transmission of money through the regions which the gang infested. The Dover, 1. T., express robbery was | the ‘last large undertaking of the gang. | At that time the entire territory became aroused, and an organized effort was begun to hunt down the criminals. For six months various lesser detachments into which the gang broke up have been | chased from one end of the territory to the | other like wild animals, but not until within the past few weeks have important results followed. “Bill” Doolin, Tulsa Jack and Isaac Black, members of the gang, have been killed. Since that time, in successive encounters, nearly a dozen other of the outlaw band, including severa] women, have been captured after hard fights. Wyatt, the leader, has for two weeks been engaged in a running fight with officers, being badly wounded in the right side. Early last night a large posse of vigi- | lantes,headed by Detective W. D. Fossett of the Rock Island Railroad, dislodged him from his hiding place on Gloss Mountain, jand in his wild flight east toward the | home of his father-in-law he has been hard pressed by his pursuers and several times came very near falling into their hands. | Last night he crossed the Rock Island Rail- road near Waukomis and was brought to bay in a cane field. The vigilantes formed | a cordon all round the field, but the outlaw | managed to escape. | At daybreak this morning the pursuit | began again, and about 11 o’clock the fugi- tive took refuge in a corn field. The vigi- | lantes, headed by Marshal Smith of Enid, | were upon him in an instant, and, cover- | ing him with Winchesters, told him to surrender. Instead he pulled two re- volvers and began to shoot. A dozen guns were fired at him almost simultaneously, and, throwing up his hands, he fell. A | bullet had entered his hip and two struck his left leg. Wyatt's shots were all wild | and did no damage. | The prostrate outlaw was game to the |end, and hali raising himself to a | sitting position he again began shooting. | but the officers quickly overpowered and | disarmed him. He was taken to Hennes- sey, 0. T., and later to the Garfield County Jail, where he now lies in a dangerous con- | dition, though the attending surgeons say | there are fair chances for bis recovery. He | is morose and sullen, and has uttered | scarcely a word since his capture. | The jail in which he is confined is under | heavy guard, as it is feared thatan attempt | will be made by his friends to liberate him. | Everybody is eager io catcha glimpse of | the man who has kept the Territory in a | state of turmoil for so long a time, and ex- ritement runs high. The identification of the prisoner is fully established. Asnearas can be estimated, there are about twenty outlaws still at large, and the vigilence of their pursuers will not be relaxed cn account of to-day’s important capture. The vigilantes are well organized throughout the entire territory, and they require all travelers to have properly au- thenticated passports. The death knell of outlawry in the territory has been sounded | and it is coniidently expected that the entire band will be wiped out withina very short time. “SOUND MONEYXY” MEN RULE. They Will Run the Iowa Convention as They Please. DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 4.—The last Towa counties held their conventions to- day to name delegates to the Democratic convention Wednesday next. A majority of counties send uninstructed delegations favorable to sound money and the admin- istration. Generally uninstructed dele- gates are for sound money. The silver men have made the issue in almost all places and where they could control have instructed for free silver 1esolutions by the State convention. The policy of the sound money men on the olger hand has been to avoid instructions and follow a conciliatory policy. The generai belief is that the convention will be easily controlled by suund money men, but the silver people will make a fight and bring a test on the adoption of the resolutions. The sound money people will ‘have proba- bly 60 per cent of the delegates and, per- haps, considerably more. i Cliga Explosion on a Cruissr, NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 5—The Her ald cable from Rio Janeiro says: The boiler of the old cruiser Trajano ex- loded yesterday. Sixteen men were either gilled or wounded in the explosion. The- cruiser was lying in the harbor of Rio Jan- ero. e Count De Beawmont Dead. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 4—A special cable dispatch to the Herald from Paris says: General Count Robert de Beaumont died very suddenly after a four days’ illness at his'Villa Mirolle at Copel, on' the Lake of Geneva. S S Mystery and a Meeting. CHICAGO, Irn., Aug. 4.—Considerable mystery surrounds the meeting at the Palmer House to-day of the Democratic State Central Committee. One report says that its object is to find means of coercing the Democratic members of the Legislature into voting for an investigation into the charges of boodling brought against certain legislators at Spfin%fleld, but this is re- pudiated by many of the members. The committee will, however, arrange for the special election in the Eighteenth District to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Congressman Remann, and a majority of the committee will insist upon nomi- nating a candidate on the free-silver issue. — e — PLAN OF PASSENGER LINES. Great Dificulty in Forming a Satisfac- tory Association. CHICAGO, IrL., Aug. 4—On Wednesday next there will be 2 meeting of lines inter- ested in the territory between Chicago and the Missouri River for l‘he'purpose of form- ing if possible an association to maintain rates. Originally the plau was to have a big association covering all trans-Missouri lines, transcontinental and Western roads. This was narrowed down to leave out the Western lines, when it was found the association could not even then be formed owing to the differences which existed be- tween the parties at interest, as the asso- ciation was projected to include lines be- tween Chicago and the Missouri River and also west of the Missouri. Owing to the coyness of the Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western it has been de- cided not to include lines west of the Mis- souri in the conference. as an association which did not cover Utah Territory would be of little value for the uses for which it was intended. One Swindler Had Died. DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug.4.—William Bremener of this cily bought forty acres near the city and platted it, paying $500 cash and giving a mortgage for $2000. Then he gave other mortgages to J. H. Hamilton aggregating $45.000. Hamilton transferred them to J. W. Bartlett, who took them to Chicago and sold them. Archie S. Marston is supposed to have been the purchaser. Recently he came here and found it was a swindle. Bartlett had died meantime and Hamilton had skipped. Bremener claimed he was not in the deal and deeded the property to Mars- ton. No arrests have been made. FRESKO IRRIGATION SUIT, Brought by John Landers to Dissolve the Sunset District. Gross Fraud and Deceptlon Charged Agalnst Director Milton McWhorter. FRESNO. CAL., Aug."4.—A bitter strug- gle is expected over the suit begun here to dissolve the Sunset Irrigation District. John Landers, upon whose complaint the suit is brought, makes charges of the most serious kind against Milton McWhor- ter, one of the directors of the district. McWhorter was one of the men most active in securing the organization of the district and if tne allegations of the com- plaint are sustained he will be proven guilty of gross fraud and deception. According to the complainant, McWhor- ter was pecuniarily interested in securing an election as director in the proposed district and 1n organizing the district. Toaccomplish his purpose, Landers al- leges, McWhorter bought a tract of twenty acres inside the limits of the proposed dis- trict and subdivided it into twenty lots, which he then deeded totwenty-five differ- ent people. The deeds were never deliv- ered to the grantees and none of them claimed the lots. The complaint says that in pursuance of his fraudulent purpose and with the in- tention of deceiving the Board of Super- visors and inducing them to declare the territory a district, McWhorter haa all the persons to whom he had granted land fraudulently sign the petition for the form- ation of the district and represent that they weré freeholders in the district, If the facts are as stated, McWhorter planned and carried thronizh a coloniza- tion scheme of considerable magnitude. The twenty-five men whom he had sign his petition, many of whom are widely known and respected, are also charged with fraud. Landers is one of the men who believe that the board of directors of the district have been making money from the tax- pafers. t is also alleged in the complaint that there was included in the district 94,220 acres of land belonging to the United States and, therefore, not to be included in any irrigation district. The district has already voted bonds to the amount of $2,000,000 and over $300,060 worth have been sold. The contractors have already expended about $30,000 and they will not lose it without a struggle. GRAPELAND DISTRICT TROUBLE. One of the Bondholders Takes a Precau- tion to Protect Himself. SAN BERNARDINO, CiL, Aug. 4.— Joan W. Downs, a local money-lender, has taken a twist around the Grapeland Irrigation District which was a complete surprise. Downs owns §2500 worth of bonds issued by the Grapeland District, which he proposes to protect. Last week, after consulting his lawyers, he quietly stole into the San Bernardino Mountains and filed on the irrigation water supply, The district has bored a long tunnel to get the underflow of Lytle Creek and about 500 inches of water have been thus developed. This tunnel and the water source are on Government land in the San Bernardino Mountain reservation. Under the law the person who files the notice must use the water within sixty days, and Downs has made preparations to conduct this water on to the property of the Semi-Trepic Land and Water Company. The decision of Judge Ross is that the districts never had a legal existence, and following this out Downs and his advisers claim that all x:ippropnutions made by the district are void. That is to say that the situation is the same as if the water from the Grapeland tunnel had never been taken by any per- son or company, and that Downs had made the original filing. His action 1n thus stepping in and filing his notice in advance of any other, he maintains, will give him the prior right to the water, and igthe decision 1s upheld in a higher court he will be assured of something to guarantee the value of the lfio?du of the company which he now olds. ——-—— CAMPING ON CATALINA. Boys of the Whittier School on Their Annual Outing. AVALON, Carausa Iswanp, CaArn., Aug. 4.—Two companies numbering 100 boys, from the Whittier State Reform School, arrived at Catalina Island by Friday night’s steamer on their annual outing. On Satur- day 250 more arrived. They brought a camping outfit and will tent at Swaines Landing, a point about five miles below Avalon. The boys will remain two weeks, and then the eighty-five girls in the institution will come for their outing. The Southern Pacific and the Wilming- ton Transportation companies furnish free transportation, the supplies being shipged from the school at the rate of a carload a day, so the outing costs the State nothing. The boys are under military discipline, Major C. M. Renard being in command. el s A Money-Saving Route. FRESNO, CaL., Aug. 4—Wellman, Peck & Co. have received another consignment of freight from San Francisco via Stockton and the San Joaquin River. It is found that a substantial saving in rates can be made, although the goods must be re- loaded into lighter boats at Stockton and hauled the last thirty miles by mules, WAR ON THE NEGROES, Italians Attempt to Drive Them From Spring Valley. RESENTED A ROBBERY. LikeaBand oprgches the Mob Fell Upon the Unsuspect-~ ing Blacks. THE WOMEN WERE NOT SPARED Long List of Those Wounded Durlng the Furlous Attack of For- elgn Miners. PRINCETON, IuL., Aug. 4—The Ital- ians of Spring Valley broke out to-day in a war upon the negroes with a view of either massacreing them or driving them from without the city limits. The fol- lowing negroes were seriously injured : Granville Lewis, aged 45 years, shot in head and clubbed with rifles, face and neck badly lacerated; may die. Clem L. Marty, aged 32 years, shot in back of head with rifle ball, thirty buck- shot in back and shoulders; seriously in- jured. Norman Bird, aged 38 years, shot in neck and head, badly bruised; internal injuries. Mrs. Bird, aged 31, wife of Norman, shot in right cheek and arm. Maria Bird, daughter of Norman, aged 14 years, shot in the breast; may prove fatal. William Lee, aged 34 years, kicked and trampled upon. Jube Sterritt, aged 47, trampled upon, face lacerated and injured internally; badly cut by barbed wire fence ia attempt- ing to escape from the mob. Oscar Prin, head bruised with rocks and stones. Silas Burken, bruised with clubs and shot at about thirty times. Jude Stnart, bad wound in the head from a club. James Kelley,aged 26 years,flesh wounds and clothing riddled with shot. William Beck, aged 30 years, bruised and internal injuries. Frank Turner, aged 68 years, shot twice in the back of the head and struck in the back and shoulders by about forty buck- shot. Frank Burner, head badly bruised, trampled upon and internal injuries. The Italians for many months have wished to drive the negroes out of the coal- mining belt, and to-day a plausible excuse for so doing presented itself. At 1 o’clock this morning an Italian was held up on the public highway by four negroes, robbed and shot four times, from the effects of which his physician says he cannot live until morning. A mass meet- ing of the Italians was called, and at 10 o'clock a mob of over 300 that gathered started out for the negro village, which is located two miles west of Spring Valley. They were headed by the Spring Valley Italian band, and to deceive the negroes into thinking the assembly a peaceable one, this band rendered several National anthems. The negroes as a result re- mained in their homes, and the Italians fell onto them like a lot of Apache Indians. The men wtre dragged out, clubbed, trampled upon and made the targets for the shotguns, rifles and small arms the mob had brought with them. The women were insulted, slapped, and two of them, while begging for mercy, were shot down and fatally injured. Sheriff Clark of Princeton was telegraphed for and arrived on the ground with a posse, but came too late, as the work had long been done be- fore he arrived. The negroes fled panic-stricken over the surrounding hills, and to-night are sleep- ing under trees and in barns, with the ex- ception of a few whom the farmers are sheltering. Many of the injured may die before morning. No arrests have been at- tempted. Judge Stuart was dragged out of his bome, struck in the face, knocking out | eight teeth, and compelled to literally run a gauntlet during which he was knocked down four or five times and his scalp torn open. Atone time he was left for dying in his own garden. Silas Burner and his son-in-law, Frank Turner, after their families had been gross- | 1y abused, were dragged out of their homes and clubbed on the head and turned loose | on the street. A man placed a horsepistol | against the side of Turner’s head and snapped the hammer three times, but it refused to go off. The two negroes took to | the woods,but as they went four charges of buckshot from a shotgun were poured into them. Each received over thirty buckshot in the back of the head, neck and should- | ers and it is feared that in the case of Burner blood poisoning will at once set in. | Granville Lewis, in his home, was so pounded about the head that it is feared the sight of one eye will be lost. Over forty houses were occupied by the colored people, and in these weré two invalid men who could not be moved. One of them, known as Uncle Enoch, would have been shot in his bed had not an Ital- ian, whom he had become acquainted with the year before, pulled a double-barreled shotgun away that had been pointed in his face. The gun was discharged in the room, but the charge did not strike its in- tended victim. The Italian rioters served notice on the women and children who had not been driven out that they and the invalids would be given until to-night to leave the town forever, and that if they were not gone by dark they would be shot down in their tracks. Consequently, all the after- noon the women have been packing all that is left of their household goods and are fleeing over the hills in all directions. Large numbers have started out in the direction of Toluca, and others have taken refuge at Seatonville. The injured men, many of whom are lying at the point of death, are sheltered in barns and under trees. Of those who are uninjured about thirty have gathered at Seatonville and have been collecting arms and ammunition, and say they will at all hazards return to Spring Valley in the morning and remain there until they are discharged from the services of the coal company. Some have homes there and all have wages dues them from the coal com- pany. They claim the city police have made very little effort to hunt down the criminals, but that thisisno fault of theirs and a matter for which they will not suf- fer. This resolution of the negroes has created considerable apprehension and more trouble is expected if it should be carried out. ‘Word was sent to Sheriff Clark at Prince- ton, who at once commenced the organiza- badly tion of a posse by sounding the fire alarm and enlisting the men as fast as they turned out. By noon he had a sufficient number, but at that hour word was, re- ceived that actual rioting had ceased. Economy on the Grand Trunk. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 4—~A morn- ing paper says: Bir Charles Rivers Wil- son, the new president of the Grand Trunk Railway, will arrive in this city from Eng- land on August 13. He has written that he will go direct to the company’s head- quarters at Montreal, but efforts will be made to detain him until the presidents meet on August 15 to take formal action on the new agreement. All sorts of changes are in progress for the Grand Trunk. Salaries will be cut and many employes will be dispensed with, Efforts will be made to estn%elish traffic alliances with other railroads, and the formation of a Canadian board is alsoto be quickly accomplished. pe Southampton’s New Dock. NEW YORK, N, Y., Aug. 4—A dis- patch from London says: The new graving dock at Southampton was formally opened to-day by the Prince of Wales. In honor of the event a general holiday was de- clared, and the city was gay with royal bunting. The Prince, accompanied by his suite, arrived early this morning from Cowes in the royal yacht, and was pre- sented with an address of welcome by Mayor Lewis Button in behalf of the County Council. The entire town turned out in the vicinity of the dock, and mani- fested great enthusiasm. The dock which was opened to-day is the largest in the world of its kind. ———— Death of John B. Lamber. LEAVENWORTH, Kaxs., Aug. 4.— John B. Lamber, one of Leavenworth’s best known citizens, died unexpectedly yesterday at his home on North Bmadwn{, from neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Lamber was born in New York City, and on July 24 was 67 years old. When a young man he entered the service of the Adams_Express Company, and ran be- tween New York City and Buffalo. In 1852 the express company sent him to Au- stralia, but that venture proving a failure, he established a stage line from Metbourne to Bendigo. In 1857 he returned to New York, and in the same year came here to live, first engaging in the freighting busi- ness across the plains. A Will Indemnify Owners. NEW YORK, N. Y., August 4.—At Ot- tawa, Ontario, special says: The Domin- ian Government has been advised that the Russian Government will indemnify the owners of the two Canadian sealers seized by Russian gunboats in 1892.

Y., Aug. 4—The Her- ald’s special cable from Panama says: Guayaquil (Ecuador) advices state that a report has just been received in Guayaquil which says that General Alfaro has inter- cepted important dispatches from General Sarasti to his_confidential agents on ‘the coast. These dispatches disclose the fact that General Sarastiis not prepared to give battle, and that he has already begun the work of abandoning the positions he now holds. e e “Gick” McCormick Dead. OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 4.—Josiah Strong McCormick, usunally known as “Gick” McCormick, died this afternoon of con- gestion of the brain at his residence here. He was well known all over the West, hav- ing been, in the sixties, a freighter over the plains from Omaha to Denver and Salt Take. He was post-trader at Laramie in 1874, and was in the wholesale grocery business here also. His age was 60. He retired from business ten years ago and left a large estate. Stomach Pains And stomach aches are often but the first symptoms of Catarrh of the Stomach. During the summer months people eat fruits that are not ripe, or do not agree with them, then comes congestions, colics, bowel and stomach pains. Youcan clean your stomach as you can clean a glass ves- sel and you can clean your stomach with Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, for there are no after bad effects, no gripes, no nauseat- ing feelings. It does not bind, but causes the stomach and bowels to go on doing their accustomed work freely and fairly. Biliousness Don’t you know that melons will often make a man or woman bilious ? It is | true. Biliousness is too much bile, the liver is inactive, it does not do its work properly. Melons often irritate the stom- ach, cause diarrhoea and leave the liver inactive. When you experience the first pain or sign of a pain, or disturbances in the stomach, get a bottle of Joy’s Vegeta- ble Sarsaparilla—go by the bottle direc- tions, don’t get the substitute offered; you will throw away your money. You May Be As wise as King Solomon, as rich as Croe- sus, as venerable as Rosencrans and as in- genious as Edison, but if youareas careless as some people you will suffer accordingly. ingly. When you don'’t feel exactly right you ought to take a tonic regulator, some- thing made of herbs that can do no possi- ble harm and yet clean the stomach and bowels. This is just what you ought to take and use it as regularly as you feel a “fit of theblues” or dull, heavy and lan- guishing. Don‘t take a stimulant that does not clean. Take a pure, herbcleans- ing remedy and enjoy the pleasures of the table uninterrupted. s Good As” Is a very good phrase, but not so when used in connection with Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. There is nothing as good as Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
