THE LEADER KILLED
A Fight With the Kock
Island Robbers.
OTHERS ESCAPED TO THE WOODS
Til Dead Man Folly Identified An
Aggregate new-r( 0f goooo Oat
for B lm Other Rewards.
Hennessey, O. Tm April S. Part of
the posse in pursuit of the bandits who
robbed the Bock Island train near
Dover, Wednesday night, came upon tbe
gang thirty-five miles west of Hennessey
at S o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A fight ensued In which one of the
robbers was killed and others wounded.
. As soon as the robbers were sighted the
deputies jumped from tbeir horses and
used tbem as breastworks. While the
robbers made an attempt to retreat two
of tbeir horses were shot from under
them and one man was killed. An
other's leg was broken, but he managed
to get on his horse ; another was badly
ht, but be too succeeded in. getting
away. The marshals gave chase to the
retreating outlaws and finally cornered
them in a bunch of timber about two
miles from tbe scene of the battle. A
waiting game is being played as the out
laws must have food and water.
The dead man was brought to Hen
nessey at 11 o'clock last night, and bas
been positively identified as Dick Yea
ger, alias Gyp Wyatt, on whose head
there is an aggregate reward of over
$6,000, including (1,000 offered yester
day for each of. tbe robbers by the Bock
Island. He was identified by United
States Marshal Graves and O. C. Krepps,
9 fa, farmer who was acquainted with
Wyatt. He was also identified as one of
the Dover robbers by the entire crew
this'morning as they passed here. Con
ductor Mack says he was tbe leader.
In his possession was found the sack the
porter was compelled to bold while the
passengers deposited their valuables in
it.
11 y Lata Hawaiian Malla.
. Washington, April 5. The last mail
from Hawaii brings an interesting budget
of general information.
An account is published of the. bril
liant reception given by Minister Willis
to Admiral Beardsley, to which Presi
dent Dole was not invited. It was at
tended 'by all the American officers.
Mrs. Beardsley, wife of the admiral, sails
for the United States April 20.
President Dole has restored the writ of
habeas corpus and abolished martial law
in tbe island of Oahu, embracing Hono
lulu, indicating that security again
reigns. Adjutant-General Soper has
issued a congratulatory address to the
National Guard and others who took
part in suppressing the "late formidable
insurrection."
A Honolulu paper says friends of tbe
ex-queen declare she will treat with
contempt tbe reported offer from a
United States showman of $500 a week
to come to tbe United States.
One of the papers is indulging in spec
illation as to President Cleveland's re
ported trip around tbe world, asking if
be will stop at Hawaii.
The "Dangerous persons act" was
adopted before tbe mail left. It is a
radical law against those who conspire to
overrule tbe government, and who come
from other countries to foment disorder.
Texas Officials After Standard Oil
Magnates.
4 Waco, April 5. County Attorney
Joseph W. Taylor bas been informed re
cently that John W. Bockefeller and
several members of the Standard Oil
Company, whose names are in the
famous indictment, were in Waco. 'The
story goes that Bockefeller and his
friends went over to Mexico from a
"V Florida point, and after enjoying an ex
Highest of all in .Leavening Power.
imvA n
cursion through Mexico, determined to
make the overland run back to New
York, entering Texas at Eagle Pass.
They went through Waco over the Mis
souri, Kansas & Texas, incognito, in a
sleeper, keeping the doors locked as long
as they were on Texas soil. Judge B. T.
Henry, ex-assistant attorney-general,
said if they bad been in Texas since the
bills were returned they were fugitives
from justice, and Governor Morton can
no longer refuse the governor's requis
ition. The Jury In the Taylor Case Discharged.
Cabboixton, Mo., April 5. The jury,
in the Taylor case came into court at
9 :30 this morning, and reported that
they could not agree. - Tbe jury stood
seven for conviction and five against.
Tbe judge thereupon - discharged them.
At 9 :30 tbe jury was brought into tbe
courtroom, and Judge Bucker asked:
"Gentlemen, is there any prospect that
you will agree on a verdict?"
"None whatever," replied Foreman
George Fleming.
"What do you say?" asked the Judge.
"There is no show whatever," replied
several jurymen.
"Do you stand now as you stood from
the first?" asked the judge.
The foreman replied: "The first bal
lot was seven for conviction and five for
acquittal, and the result remained un
changed during all future ballots,"
Judge Bucker ordered the clerk to en
ter disagreement and discharged the
jury, and continued tbe case till the
next term of court. As the jurors filed
out they were hissed, booted and reviled
by people gathered about the court
house. It is tbe general opinion here
that Carroll county, has been disgraced
by the five jurors who stood out for ac
quittal.
An Insane Callfornlan Reopens an Old
.Wound.
Btockton, Cal., April. Robin Bon W.
Smith, an insane patient, was brought;
to the asylum here last night with his
throat cut. Some four weeks ago Smith
slashed himself with a razor while de
mented, cutting through the larynx and
in co the windpipe. Physicians sewed
up the wound which is about four inches
long, but on Tuesday Smith secured an
old jackknifeand sawed open the old
wonnd. The cut now presents a horri
ble appearance, the ragged edges of the
old -wound having healed some. Smith
now has to breathe through the hole i
his neck and can only speak by placing
his bands over tbe opening and pressing
the edges of the cut together, and then
the founds that come from his lip i sow J
more like the grunts of a beast than tbe
words of a human being. Physicians at
the asylum will sew up the wound today.
England TVlsnes None of Nicaragua's
Territory.
Washington, April 5. Gresham is
advised that tbe British foreign office
has, within the past forty-eight hours,
informed Bayard that England does not
desire any Nicaraguan territory, that her
colonial possessions are already suffi
ciently large to satisfy her ambition, and
that all she desires of Nicaragua is the
payment of the indemnity. Assurances
are also given that, while England will
show an earnest determination to collect
this indemnity, there is little probabil
ity that Greytown will be bombarded by
the British fleet in tbe event of Nicara
gua's slow compliance with England's
request. No dispatches regarding Ven
ezuela have Been received.
Williams Still In Havana.
Washington, April 5. Surprise is ex
pressed in diplomatic circles that United
States Consul-General Williams still
continues to discharge official functions
at Havana. More than a month, ago
Spain requested his recall because of bis
alleged sympathy with the insurrection.
It is now understood that Spain has
made another demand for a change at
Havana. There is no probability, how
ever, that Williams will for the present
be recalled. Possibly the delay of Spain
in replying to Gresbam'e note may ac
count for the delay in acceding to Spain's
request for the removal of Williams.

was Carlyle's expression of the
experience of many people who
reach middle life before their
digestive organs loudly protest
against improper food. The first '
warning generally 'comes from
food cooked with lard. How
often we hear the remark, "I like
it, but dare not eat itv" To any
one in this common condition
the new vegetable shortening, is
indeed a boon. By the use of
this new and wonderful food
product the disagreeable effects
of lard-cooked food are altogether
avoided. The features of econ
omy, convenience and adapta
' bility, emphasize the above, and
demand . the attention of careful
housekeepers to Cottolene.

lOO Seward SlOO
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Cure is the only posi
tive cute known to the medical frater
nity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving tbe patient strength
by building up tbe constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any- case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimo
nials. Address,
