Turning Point in the Guate

A DECISIVE BATTLE IMMINENT
Oovernrnent Force Preparing for an
Attack on th Rebels Other
Fan-American News.
New York, Oct. 4. A dispatch to the
Herald from Guatemala says :
The government is still mobilizing its
forces at Tolonicapan, and is preparing
to make an attack on the rebels, who
have taken a position on the heights of
Coxon, near Tolonicapan. It is believed
that there will be a big battle there
which will mark the turning point of
the war.
The rebels, safely placed in the hills,
opened fire on the city at an early hoar,
on the morning of September 29th. The
fire proved ineffective, owing to the
great distance. The government forces
did not return the fire.
Dictator Barrios has issued a decree
granting amnesty to rebels who will lay
down their arms inside of ten days.
A dispatch to the Herald from Bio de
Janeiro says:
The French minister has demanded
an immediate settlement of the Amapa
question and an explanation of Brazil's
delay in the matter. It is asserted that
the French minister has received prac
tically an ultimatum from this govern
ment for presentation to Brazil, but has
not thus far presented it because of his
belief that the question would be speed
ily settled. France is now, however, to
occupy the disputed territory.
The French cruiser Debordie has ar
rived here to look out for French inter
ests. A Herald dispatch from Lima says
the committee of deputies which was
recently appointed to agree upon a plan
to settle the affairs of the Peruvian Cor
poration have not been able to reach an
agreement. Several members of the
committee advocate a plan to authorize
the government by special act of con
gress to negotiate with the corporation's
creditors on a basis decided upon by
congress. Other members want the
committee to have full authority to make
any terms with the creditors and the
corporation, and have authority to alter
the terms of the cancellation of the
foreign debt, which debt the corporation
assumed.
A Herald dispatch from

syndicate of German bankers

BATTLE OF THE BONES GOES OK
More Expert Testimony Heard at the
Leatgert Trial.
Chicago, Oct. 4. The seventh week
of the trial of the Luetgert, the alleged
wife-murderer, opened today with an
undiminished crush of people at the
criminal court building. Only those
who possessed tickets were admitted.
"The trial will last at least three weeks
longer," said State Attorney Deenen to
day. "When the defense closes we shall
cave at least a week of rebuttal evidence.
Then the defense will come along with
another week of the same kind of evi
dence. If we get through with the
speeches in a week's time we shall be
doing well."

Cured by

"I was troubled with an Eczema or
eruption on the hands for two years. I
spent quite a sum of money without get
ting a cn re. Then I commenced using
Garland's Happy Thought Salve. I have
used six or eight jars, and am cured. It
is a great medicine, and lean fully1 rec

sicians and surgeons of Chicago, was re
called today for cross-examination upon
several matters in connection with his
identification of bones. His testimony
was simply a repetition of that of other
witnesses along the same line.
Professor Plummer, of the Nort western
medical college, gave evidence much to
the liking of the defense. After a brief
examination of a temporal bone intro
duced by the state and positively identi
fied by Professor Dorsey, of the Field
Columbian museum, as the right tem
poral bone of a women, Dr. Plummer
with emphasis declared the bone was
not the temporal bone of a human being.
The bone which has been identified by
experts of the prosecution as a human
femur was handed to Plummer, and
without hesitation he denied that it" was
the femur of the human race.
''It resembles in a slight degree the
human femur,' said the witness, "but
the bone is much smaller than the aver
age femur of a human. There are no
other distinct characteristics of the hu
man femur."
One of the incidents of the trial today
was the sawing of a temporal bone by
Dr. Pierce and Dr. Eiese. The operation
was watched by Assistant State's Attor
ney McEwah for the prosecution and ex-
Judge Vincent for the defense. The
bone sawing was done in the waiting
room near the courtroom. The surgeons
were slow, and Judge Tutbill, frowning
impatiently, sent a bailiff after them, re
marking :
"Those fellows have been out there
long enough to saw a cord of wood."
Luetgert is not likely to go on the wit
ness stand until next week.
"In three hours' time I could convince
the jury of my innocence," said Luet
gert today. "I will give it to them
straight and make liars of 'many people
when I get on the stand. My story will
make everything plain."
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says : "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

DEATH Or AN EX-SENATOR.
a in a el p. J. McMillln, m Once Prom
inent Politician.
St. Paul, Oct. 4. Samuel P. J. Mc
Millan, United States senator from 1876
to 18SS, died at bis borne in this city last
night of anemia. . He had been ill for
nearly a year.
He was born in Brownsville, Pa., Feb
ruary 22, 1826. Choosing law for a pro
fession, he studied in the office of Edwin
M. Stanton, afterward secretary of war.
In 1852 he removed to Stillwater, Minn.,
removing to St. Paul in 1856. He con
tinued his practice until 1858, when he
was elected judge of the first judicial dis
trict. In 1864 he was appointed asso
ciate justice of the supreme court, and
in the same year he was elected for the
full term of seven years. He was re
elected in 1871 and in 1874 chosen chief
justice.
In February, 1875, he was elected to
the United States senate, after one of
the noted dead-locks in the history of
the state. Ex-Governor Ramsey was
the Republican nominee and Cushman
K. Davis, the present senator, was a
bolting candidate. McMillan was elect
ed on a narrow margin, after a prolonged
contest. In 1881 he was re-lected.
While in the senate he was chairman of
the commerce committee. He was also
a member of the judiciary committee.
On bia retirement from the senate he
resumed law practice and afterward held
no office. A year ago he was one of the
leading spirits in putting a stop to prize
fighting in Minnesota.
He was prominent in the Presbyterian
church, and in 1890 was chosen one of
the two men from the West for the com
mittee on the revision of the confession
of faith of that body.
lOO Reward SIOO.
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 Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken iuternally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting 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 fa: Is to cure. Send for list of
