der trial was Allen Johnson, a colored
bartender, who testified yesterday to
the presence of Pearl Bryan with Jack'
son at Wallingford's saloon on the even
ing of Friday, January 31st, the night
before the dead body was found, and
also about the visit of Attorney Shep

could make more money by staying
away from the trial than he would get
in witness' fees. On cross-examination
the witness repeated his statement, that
Shepherd told him that no power on
earth could force him to go to Kentucky
as a witness. When asked if he did not

There will be no Prohibition county
connvejitioa this year. The last one
held was in 1894, and np to that year
since 18S6 a full county ticket was nomi
nated. In 1894 there was no county
ticket. There has always been a paucity
of votes in this immediate vicinity and
in that year the formality of nominat-
a county ticket was discontinued. There
are only about a dozen men in town who
stick to that party through thick and
thin, among them Mr. Leslie Butler,
who has invariably voted the Prohi
bition ticket since 1876. J. E. McCor
mick and S. B. Adams have been former
candidates for sheriff in past years on
the Prohibition ticket.

Washington, April 25. The tariff
question made its appearance unex
pectedly in the senate today, and for a
time it looked as though the routine of
considering appropriation bills would
give way to a general tariff debate.
Sherman endeavored to secure action on
the bill relating to fruit brandies and
alcohol used in the arte. Chandler gave
warning, however, that if the bill was
taken up it would involve a debate on
the -entire tariff question. Fiatt went
further by stating that if this correction
of the revenue laws was attempted, he
would urge that the entire Wilson law
be repealed and the former McKinley
law revived. After these announce
ments, the vote on Sherman's motion
to proceed was followed with great in
terest, resulting in the defeat of the mo
tion 22 to 27.

Baltimore Cyclist Tries to Beat Elec
tricity ana Is Cnt In Two.
Baltimore, April 27. Little B. An
drew, a well-known cyclist, was cut in
two by a trolley car near Waverly this
afternoon. He undertook to try a race
with an electric car. The crowd cheered
him on and the bicycle and car went
flying along neck and neck for several
miles. Just beyond Waverly there is a
steep hill, which the racers descended
side by side at breakneck speed. The
excitement by this time was intense and
no one apprehended any serious result.
Suddendly the front wheel of the bicycle
struck a stone in the road and the rider
pitched over the handle bars directly in
front of the car. The motorman made
an ineffectual attempt to stop the car.
The wheels passed over the bicyclist.

Spokane, April 27. A special to the
Spokesman-Review from Nelson, B. C,
Eays the town of Ainsworth, on the west
shore of Kootenai, is a smouldering heap
of ashes and cinders today. Fire broke
out last night, and found the town ab
solutely without protection. The citi
zens did all they could, but were power
less to check the flames, till every hotel
and business house had - been burned.
A few goods were saved, but in most
cases the loss is believed to be practic
ally total. Dwellings lying north of the
business district along the shore of the
lake . are separated by a considerable
distance from the stores, and were saved.
The total loes ia about forty thousand
dollars. The insurance is small.

Nikola Tesla Makes Claims for His New
Photographic Screen.
New Yoek, April 27. Nikola Tesla,
the electrician and inventor, in a com
munication to the Electrical Review an
nounces two interesting results he has
achieved. One of these is that if a sen
sitive film be placed between twe plates,
eay of magnesium and copper, a true
Roentgen radiograph would be obtained
after a very long exposure in the dark.
Another wonderful result Tesla has ob
tained is that by the use of a new type
of fluorescent screen, devised in his
laboratory, he has been able to greatly
increaee the sharpness of the outlines in
a shadow on the screen and actually to
see the human heart. He adds:
"I have also clearly noted the outlines
of the hip bones. Looking in the region
of the heart, I have been able to locate
it unmistakably. The ribs I could see
on a number of occasions quite distinct
ly as well as the shoulder bones."
Tnis latter discovery, be thinks, is
capable of extensive practical applica
tion.

'It is with pleasure I tell yon that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this 'remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
In the fall of 1893 a son of Mr. T. A.
McFarland, a prominent merchant of
Live Oak, Sutter county, Calif., was
taken with a very heavy cold. The
pains in his chest were so seyere that he
had spasms and was threatened with
pneumonia. His father gave him -sev
eral large doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, which broke up the cough and
cured him. Mr. McFarland says when
ever his children have croup he invari
ably gives them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and it always cares them. He
considers it the beBt cough remedy in
the market. For Bale by Blakeley fc

The Part That Maceo Is Playing;
Campaign.
New Yobk, April 27. A World dis
patch from Havana says :
General Weyler's offer to pardon all
insurgent leaders who surrender with
their arms in Pinar del Rio within 20
days was published in the hope of weak
emng General Maceo. But the rebel
commander knows that his brother.
Jog, is on the other side of the trocha
with 6000 men. He also knows that
Generals Gomez and Calixto Garcia are
organizing commands in Puerto Principe
to relieve bim.
General Maceo will never surrender.
He sends word to Havana that he will
cross the trocha when be is ready, and
that the immense Spanish army along
the barrier cannot compel him to make
the assault until the right day arrives,
It is said that General Maceo is deliber
atly waiting in Pinar del Rio in order to
keep one-third of the whole western ex
tremity of Cuba, while Gomez, Calixto
Garcia, and other commanders! organize
an army and thoroughly drill their com
mands in the central and eastern pro
vinces.
Even now a rumor reaches here that
large town in the East has been taken
but rumors are abundant, and trust
worthy facts are scarce. It' ia certain
however, that the power of the insur
gents in the East ia increasing daily and
that General Maceo's heroic position in
the western hills is part of a great strat
egic campaign.
General Weyler looks upon the trocha
as the key to the war. He has made
this belief very plain.
It has been said, and it is generally
believed by the Spanish leaders, that
General Gomez and other com
manders would make" terms for peace.
but for General Maceo and his fierce
negro followers, who will consent to
nothing but complete and unconditional
independence. The captain-general be
lieves that if General Maceo is conquered
now the war will end in a few months.
None Bat Ayer's at the 'World's Fair,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's, fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits."
