GIBBS' BANKING BILL.
\
WELL KNOWN
MERITS OF
MEN
THE
DI8CUSS THE
MEASURE.
Some Say It la the Very Thiag, Others
Say Not— Colonel Taylor CUina
to Hm First Bug-
tested Ik.
Dallas, Tex., May 2d. -A News reporter
called oa Colonel N. A. Taylor with a copy
of Governor Gibbs' bank bill and speech,
lie said:
"Yea, I ha' e read the bank bill and speech
with a great deal of interest, as 1 do every-
thing that cornea from Barney. He never
shoots off bis month without saying some-
thing that Is at least very Interesting. If
he would keep himself out of these little
local squabbles, by which he always injures
himself, It would be much better for him.
I think the bill ia excellent. He has simply
adopted ideas which I promulgated through
The News last winter In a letter addressed
to Captain F. W. McGuire, who had re«»
quested my riewa as to the subtreasury and
other matters. You will find the letter in
The News of December 6. Go and look at
It, and you will find that it embraces about
all that Governor Gibbs has said, though I
did not formulate a bill. It is simply the
credit foncier of the French, or baaed
upon that. It would be a good sys-
tem of banking in connection with
our present national banks, and
would answer ail the demands of the coun*
try in a monetary way. It is the true doc-
trine, and it is going to win. It is a neces-
sity of this country, a crying necessity. If
Governor Gibbs was In congaess to support
his bill, he would at one rise into national
reputation, and he would sustain it well,
too, for taking him altogether Barney ia a
whale. Of course these old stagers who are
encrusted under about ten feet of ancient
traditions and venerable prejudices, who
have no Independence or originality, and
*ho are swollen with an enormous sense of
their own importance will try to belittle it,
but that makes no diffeaence. Barney will
win in spite of them, and the harder he is
hit the higher he will bounce. Pat him on
the shoulder and tell him to go ahead. If
the fight gets so hot that he will need a lit-
tle help, tell him to count rae right In. The
rich communities all over the country who
want money scarce and Interest high will
oppose the measures, but that makes no
difference either. The fellows who want
money plentiful and interest low are in ths
majority.
"I don't care what he concocted It for.
The idea is a good one and will win. More-
over, he didn't concoct it. It was I who did
the concocting. Look at The News of Des
cember 6 last. If the democratic party
would be saved from destruction by the
suggestions of a republican, that is all
rieht. We republicans desire to keep the
democratic party alive, for it is not possi*
ble that any new party would arise to take
its place which we could lick easier than we
can the democracy."
Dallas View* In Brlof
The following gentlemen, residents of
Dallas, being asked their opinion ot Gover-
nor Gibbs' bank bill, said;
T. J. Oliver: I have not yet considered
the matter very carefully, though from a
glance I was not very favorably impressed
with Governor Gibbs' plan.
Alderman Crutcber: Governor Gibbs
seems to have a sub-treasury bill of his
own and to be falling in line by degreeu
wltn the views of the third party
Green Williams: It is a dead failure, and
the farmers thought so who heard it.
Still well B. Russell: The idea of a man
opposed to national banks and the sub<»
treasury getting up sucn a thing as that!
It's not ss good as the sub-trensury. He
would turn the commissioner of the land
office into an abatract ortlce.
Waco Views.
Waco, Tex., May 25.—A reporter of The
News called on Hon. G. B. Gerald this
morning and fonnd him in bed suffering
with a fever. Mrs. Gerald had juat fin-
ished reading Barney Gibbs' Lancaster
speech to him and he was buay digesting it
notwithstanding his illness.
"I don't indorae his bank act, not at all,"
Judge Gerald said. "If Mr. Gibbs can ad-
vocate that bill he can swallow the sub-
treasury bill mighty easily. I never read
of a more chimerical project in my life.
Thia merely delegates to an unlimited num-
ber of persons a power Macune proposed to
give the national government. It would
enable the rich to get richer, thereby
making the poor poorer. He calls it 'an
act to establish banks of circulation.' It is
really 'an act for the benefit and relief
of large landholders.' The subtreasury
act would be better than Gibbs' plan.
This wonld keep the government in a
strong position for a while, but here Is an
act to destroy the government at once and
create a great number of land corpora-
tions."
Mr. William Cameron, vice-president of
the Firat National bank, had cot read the
Gibbs speech, ao the reporter read it to him.
He seemed amused and interested.
"I am glad Barnev thought of that." he
said. "It is a good thing. I think it la a
great improvement on the sub-treasury
idea. It appears to me to beat the existing
national bank law as a people's measure,
for the banks created under the Gibbs bill
will be able to lend money on produce. The
present circulation is too small and mustbe
increased, and I do not know any better
plan than to establish banks of circulation.
This is Harney's first suggestion, perhaps
made off-hand. He will no doubt improve
on it. It may be too wide as it now resds.
The farmers are demanding something and
this will probably meet their views."
W. D. Lacey, a director of the Citizens'
National bank, and for along time chair-
man of the finance committee of the city
council, said: "I can not approve of the
Gibbs measure, lte scope ia too wide. I
believe the preaent national banking ays-
tem ia the beat the world ever aaw. Trie
Gibbs act is viaionary in the extreme. The
people will not be benefitted by it, but on
the other hard it means firat inflation and
next ruin. It ia an old thing. Just such
bills have been offered frequently. It will
never become a law. It is worse than the
subtreasury plan."
J. 8. Corley, cashier of the Provident
National bank, said: "This Is the worst I
nave seen yet. It is a national bank on a
2 per cent basis, and that will never do.
Why, If this act were passed there wonld
be national banks on the banks of all the
creeks. They wonld be multiplied withoat
limit and the circulation, now admitealy
too small, would become enormously ex*
panded until its last state would be ia-
finitely worse than its first. Mr. Gibbs'
plan will not work."
Frank Grady, a lawyer, said: "I regard
all of the recently offered methods of im«*
proving the condition of the people as
merely adcaptandum apreals for popu-
larity. Moreover, the tendency now Is to-
ward socialism. Macune's subtreasury
plan is better than tne act proposed by
Gibbs, the latter being merely exchanging
government bonds for land, as bank se-
curity. Government bonds possess a com-
mercial stability which land can not have,
and values of land will fluctuate more
when money is plentiful than when it is
scarce, while increasing the circulating
medium will cot change the value of bonds
unless to enhance them. The country will
go on fn prosperity ia spite of doctrinaires,
who multiply at each seeming crisis. The
couutry could get on pretty well without
money, and Its increase will not
rily improve the general condition. I see
nothing new in the Gibbs act, and while it
might be made to work I see no neoeaaity
for such a measure. It Is an age of experi-
ments. however, and perhaps it would be
better to try the Macune experiment of the
sub-treasury. In event of failure Gibbs
could come next This is a nation of vast
resources and it can Svand a great many
experimeuta. Give all the doctrinaires a
chance, but let them in one at a time."
John G. M on rose, assistant secretary of
the Fire association of Texas, says. "1
think Governor Gibbs' bill Is a step in the
light direction. Of couree it is crude in
some respects, but it is a starting point.
Section 10 provides that 'money may be
loaned by the banks on farm products or
such other security as they may see proper.'
This, in my opinion, is entirely too broad
and opens avenues to speculation ♦•hat
would prove disastrous \{ this privilege
waa abused. Section 4 might also be lm
proved on, as a postmaster is not per se a
competent person to appraise land values.
Something unquestionably ought to be
done, and Governor Gibbs ia entitled to
much credit for aetring ths ball in motion."
An old newspaper reporter said: "I read
Mr. Gibb's bank scheme with much Inter-
est. Some such scheme was proposed by a
financier mentioned in Macauley'a history
of England, to m*et a crisis then existing.
Mr. Robinson, a bright man who settled in
tian Antonio In 1880, formulated a similar
bill and started a monthly paper in that
city that year In its advocacy. He died
suddenly, juat after setting out hi
aecond number. It attracted much attsn<>
tion at the time. Mr. Gibb'a proposal is
essentially the same as Mr. Robinson's."
Judge John N. Lyle said: "We all recog-
nize that aoicetblng must be done to re*
lieve the present atringency. Money is too
tight. I can not, however, endorse a plank
which vrould enable any owner of 3c0 or 300
acres, by standing in with his nearest post
master on appraisement to atart a national
bank at bis village. Scarce money is bad.
It is infinitely preferable, however, to intl.i
tion, and the Gibbs plan means wildest in-
flation."
John M. Connor: There comes a time in
the business of every mau when it is neces-
sary for him to become a borrower, and it
is often the case tnat realty is the onlv se-
curity he can offer. I am very much in
favor of state charters for banks, permit-
ting them to lend money on real estate. At
present nearly all the loans which are made
on farm and ranch property comes from
foreign syndicates that pay not a cent on
taxes to the state of Texas, while they
draw out of it thousands each year in tne
way of loans. As there is no prospect of
Texas taking such a step, I favor Mr. Gibbs'
plan as the next best idea. I believe the re*
suit of this would be to emancipate many
of our farmers whose lands are mortgaged
to foreign capitalists at less than 20 per cent
of their value.
Mllla Hadn't Dlgeaterl it,
CoRSlCANA, Tex., May 25.—Regarding the
new banking bill of ex-Governor Gibbs,
Colonel R. Q. Mills said hs preferred not to
be interviewed, as he bad not read the bill
with a view of sxpreesing an opinion on it.
Hepromlaed, however, to read the bill over
carefully, and if he could see any advantage
to his constituency by giving an opinion he
would do so.
Captain Garrity, president of the First
nstional bank, said the bill, being so muc h
in the form of a public speech, was almost
too crude to venture an opinion upon it
without studying its provisions very care
fully. He would take time in a day or two
to give the matter a careful examination,
and he might see something in it
he would be willing to ei*e an opln*
ion on. He would, however, say this
In advance, that the incorporators
of a ban* kept changing so fre-
quently that it would be hard to have
them secure the bonds personally and sev-
erally. The present laws of Texas would
not allow a set of men to come together as
Incorporators of a common trust fund.
Looking at the bill in a casual way, It
seemed to him fully as visionary a meaaure
aa the subtreasury scheme. He did not be-
lieve the government would attempt any-
thing of the kind, even if Mr. Gibbs could
have It perfected. If it would, however,
and was willing to tako that kind of secure
lty, we bad plenty of land here to secure
anch bonds with. It looked to him as if
Mr. Gibbs was trying to roll over as near
the third party as possible.
Colonel G. T. Jester of the Corsicana Nas
tional said the only difference so far aa he
was able to judge between this and the sub-
treasury acbeme was that one was based on
produce and the other on real estate.
President W. R. Bright of the City Na-
tional thought the wnole scheme looked
chimerical and would be injurious to the
banking interests of the entire country.
Not aa Improvement.
Mexia, Tex., Max 25.—Governor Gibbs'
substitute for the subtreasury is not re-
garded here as an improvement on the pro-
posed measure.
A Chimerical Idea.
Fort Worth, Tex., May 25.—The sub-
treasury substitute bill of Hon. Barnett
Gibbs, which he read to an audience Sa?ur»
day night, has been a matter of some com-
ment here among bankers and those in-
tereated In things monetary. They are
almost unanimous in the expression of
opinion that bis idea is a chimerical one
and not worthy of acceptation. Several
financiers, visited by The News correspond-
ent to*»day, expressed themselves very
freely to that effect, completing the state-
ment by saying that gold and silver, and
not real estate, was the legitimate basis of
money circulation.
AFTER MA'.V YEARS.
Arrested for Killing a Mexican Oyer Thirty
Years Ago.
Nacogdoches, Tex.. May 26. — In 1858
there was a fatal difficulty in the northeast-
em part of tbla county. Redmond Cho.it
and his two sods, Squire and .Tames, dls-
pated the ownership of a colt with two Mex-
icans, Francisco and Gi-esrorio Lena. A
scuffle for possession brought on the fatal
catting of Francisco Luna and the serious
wounding of Grsgorlo by the Cboats. All
the participants are dead except Squire
Choat, now nearly S3 years old. He bad
been secreted all tbla time, but recently ren-
tured back into this county, and being dis-
covered by Sheriff Spradley was arrested
and jailed here yesterday. There Is but one
livlna witness to the tragedy, a Mexican
woman, still In the county.

HE REVIEWS THE CHILIAN TROUBLE
BEFORE HIS CONGRESS.
He A Marts that the Na.al Offlc.r. Oaly
H»». Pr.v.a Disloyal, bat They
Hsn Hot Been Able to CpMt
the Government.
New York, May 36.—[Special]—Ths Chlls
lan minister has received a copy of the
speech of President Bslmaceda of Chili to
the Chilian congress, which convened in
Santiago April 20, 1891, in which he says:
Extraordinary events, well known to yon,
have disturbed public order. The traditions
o? peace, moderation aud wisdom, which
have been characteristic of the domestic
policy of the coantry, have been interrupt-
ed, and many persona have failed in that
loyalty which entitled us to the esteem of
other nations. The naval officers, wh*>
were bound to maintain the public order of
the republic at home and see to its safety
abroad, have taken up arms against the
government, on January 7, on board the
national fleet at Valparaiso, disobeying
their general commander. Hear Admiral
Williams, and taking on board the vice
president of the senate and the president of
the house ot representative*.
A few hours after the conaummation of
these acts, without a precedent in the naval
history of Chili, they came back to Valpa-
raiso in open rebellion against their consti*
tutional chiefs aud ths civil authorities.
During the period of three months, s'nee
the beginnlng'of the revolution, there is not
an Instance of a single popular outbreak in
favor of the movement instigated by the
mariners, whose power is actually confined
to the ocean. The fleet has been unable to
keep steadliy, or oocupy any port of the
territory containing any dense population,
and in order so to do at least they had to
besiege and bombard the ports of the
north and set on flre the towns unfortified,
operating against the cosmopolitan popu-
lation of Tarapac*. and using hostilities of
a character worse than any of those me*
ployed during the conquest of Chili.
The provinces of the north are separated
from the entire country by the ocean, upon
which the rebel fleet dominate, and oy vast
forces. The revolutionists have succeeded
in seizing them after seven bloody combats.
Their fleet has not bad sufficient strength to
upset the lawful government, but it has
shown enough to disturb the public order
which our wise iustltutions assured for us,
and it has proved likewise that their leaders
possess the courage necessary to sacrifice
the lives of the chlldrsn and spread mis-
fortunes and evils throughout our country.
For three months from October (the date of
their adjournment) to the 7th of January
(on which the revolution broke out), there
has been no session, public or private. The
presidents of tne house and senate have not
been called nor any of the members con~
yoked into the usual form.
Being elected president of Chili, I have
thought it to be ray duty to inaugurate a
policy and follow a line of conduct calcu-
lated to avoid at the end of my legal term
the renewal of the dangers which have
threatened my preceding administrations.
I tried to give the national party a partici-
pation in proportion that could not incite
the jealousy and resistance of their numer-
ous adversaries.
The natlouals refused to render me their
asslstanoe, although their co-operation was
Imposed by the clearest political sense.
Aftsr that date all my efforts to unify the
liberal party haye proved ineffectual.
From this moment a struggle rased be-
tween the majority of congress and execu*
tive power. 1 then thought it my duty to
close congress, in the hope that a short
time of reflection and calm would bring the
groups of the coalition to fair and more
reasonable terms. Unfortunately, the evil
has been done, and we have now to stand
its deplorable consequences. As I hsve by
the constirution the duty of administering
the affairs of the state and of extending my
authority wherever required for the safety
of the nation, within and abroad.
1 was bound to assume all the necessary
powers to suppress the revolt headed by the
armed majority of congress, bent upon
subverting public order and the institu-
tions of the country.
The license of the Chilian press has been
carried iu our days to extremes never be-
fore reached in any other part of the world.
Not oaly the government and public men,
but society and even families have been
carried in the tempe8t of political passion.
I think the law muat keep the right and
liberty of every one to publish his opinions.
But there must not be other offences of the
press than those so qualified by the penal
code.
Few governments have had to mset more
unmerited aggressions or gratuitous incul-
pations thau those with which I have been
assailed, but I have not on that grouud
lost the serenity of my soirit nor the per-
fect tranquillity of my conscience. I have
every confidence in God, who presides over
the destinies of nations.

THE FICTURa_ ACCEPTED.
Santa Anna's Capture on Canvass— The
Sunday Law Decision.
Austin, Tex., May 26.—The artist Huddle
hsving added Moses Austin Bryan to the
group in his painting, "the Capture of
Santa Anna after the Battle of San Jacin-
to," as required by the legislature, the plo
ture has been accepted by the state and
placed on exhibition in the corridor at the
main entrance of the capltol.
The following opinion was approved by
the attorney-general to-day:
A. J. Gibson, Esq., County Attorney,
Austin, Tex.—
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of your letter
in which you inquire.
First. Whether a drug store, as such, can
sell on Sundays, whiskey and cigars, soda
water, milk shakes, etc., as drugs*
Second. Whether restaurants, on Sun-
days, can furnish guests either spirituous,
vinous or malt liquors with meats or cigars
or confectionery?
Regardless of what construction would
be placed on the statute if the matter were
now ao original queatiou in this office, you
are respectfully adviaed that this depart-
ment under a former administration ruled
In effect that exempting keensrs of drug
stores and restaurants from the ooeration
of the Sunday law, the legislature meant
only to allow such persons to open their
places of business and sell on Sunday re-
spectively only drugs and medicines in the
one case, and only ordinary meals in the
other. The various district and county
officers throughout the state have doubtless
acted on this construction. Two legisla-
tures have met and adjourned since this
construction and made no change in the
law, as to what artioles could be sold on
Sunday by the keepers of drug stores and
reataurants. It is therefore reasonable to
suppose that the construction by this de»
psrtment heretofore placed upon the Sun-
day law accorded with the intention of the
legislature.
This department, now iu the light of
these facts, feels authorized to adopt the
same construction of the law. Copies of
the opinion of Attorney-General Hogg are
herewith enclosed. Very respectfully,
w. j. J. Smith,
Office Assistant Attorney-General.
Among the enclosures above referred to j
Is found the following: The proprietor of |
a drug store and the keeper of a hotel have
no right to sell cigars and tobacco on Sun-
day. It was not the intention of the law to i
confer upon tbem any specific privileges
other than those generally conferred upon
dealers in such articles.
The river is again rising to-day, but
slowly. _
GEORGE JONES' CRIME.
Ho Itecelvea a Life Sentence for the Murder
of Ble Wife.
Cameron, Tex.. May 26.-Ths jury in the
case of the state vs. George Jones, in which
the defendant was charged with the mur-
der of his wife, Laura Jones, in Rockdale
on the night of the 13th of February, 18d0,
brought in a verdict of guilty and assessed
his punishment at imprisonment for lift in
the penitentiary.
At the spring term of the court of last
year the defendant was tried for the same
offense, at which time the jury assessed his
punishment at death by hanging. But the
court of appeals reversed the case.
The wife of the defendant, the murdered
woman, was a faithful, trustworthy old
servant, and the prople of Rockdale in par-
ticular took much interest In the trial of
the murderer.
The history of the crime is about as fol-
io wa:
On Thursday nlgnt, the 13th of February,
1890, Laura Jonee faiiod to return from Mr.
Lowenstein's, where she was employed as
cook, to her little cabin in the southern
suburbs of Rockdale. Search was began
for heron the morning ot the 14tu and con-
tinued until Sunday morning, when her
body was found concealed in a thicket
about a mile north of Rockdale. When
found, her body was nicely laid out, her
dress pulled carefully down and a hood
which she wore was placed over her face
and neck. When this was removed her
throat was found to be cut from
ear to ear, almost severing the neck
bone, apparently with one stroke
of a very sharp instrument. Aunt
Laura, as she was familiarly called, was an
old negress and the wife of George Jones.
For about two years they have not lived
much together, George preferring the
charms of another younger dusky damsel,
and be was heard to sa7 more than once
that hs desired to be rid of her. Suspicion
was at once directed toward Gporge aud
every effort was made to ascertain tne evi-
dence in the case. At the April term, 189J,
he was indicted, the case was tried and the
evidence conclusively traced the footprints
of the defendant, in company with Laura,
from the cabin of the defendant, about a
half mile north of Rockdale to the fatal
spot where she was found. He was proven
to have borrowed a razor in good condi*
tion a short time prior to the murder, and
this razor was found secreted in the roof of
his cabin with its edge badly gaped and
turned; some blood was found on the razor,
his shoes were found iu the house, also
with blood stains, and his coat was discov-
ered in a tern condition. Defendant was
also shown to have stated, after the body
was found and before !t was known how
she waa killed, tbst her throat was cut. In
addition defendant made no effort to assist
in finding the body of his wife after sbe was
raisaing. This was mainly the evidence,
except that at the scene of the murdsr the
ground was shown to have been disturbed
aud a few bushes broken off. The trial re-
sulted In a conviction of murdsr of the first
dsgree with the death sentence. The case
was carried to the court of appeals and re-
versed on the ground that the lower court
failed to charge murder of the second de-
gree and manslaughter.
The case came back and a trial has just
been concluded, the evidence being substan*
tlally the same as before. The court
charged all the degrees of murder and man-
slaughter, and in addition charged self de-
fense. The jury found him guilty of mur-
der of the first degree, with a life sentence
in the penitentiary.
RANKIN'S CASE CONTINUED.
A Change of Venue liafused—The Colorado
County Case a.
La Grange, Tex., May 26.—The case of
the state vs. John T. Rankin, charged with
the murder of Fritz Homith, was called on
yesterday. When the states attorney an-
nounced ready for trial the defendant, by
his attorneys, moved that the venuo be
changed from this to some othe.* county,
alleging that a fair trial cau not be had
here. Many witnesses were introduced, but
the court overruled the motion. The case
was continued by thl defendant on account
of the absence of some material witnesses.
Hon. H. Teichraueller Is now hearing his
application for bail on a habeas corpus.
The cases against John Moore and
others, brought here from Colorado county,
are sot for to-morrow. A large number of
witnesses and many prominent lawyers are
in attendance.

Caraey Lo-es on a Foul—Corbett aad
Jackson Not Likely to Again
Meet—Other Matters.
New York, May 26.— [Special]— A special
cable dispatch to the Police Gazette says
the often posrponed prize fight between
Dick Burgs of Newcastle and Jem Carney
of Birmingham, for $1000 and the light
weight championship of England, was de-
cided yesterday. The battle was fought in
the Hop Malt Exchange boxing room In
the borough. Betting was 100 to 80 on Car
uey and several heavy bets were registered
Csrney had the best of the fighting from
the start and punished Burge terribly
After the men had fougnt eight rounds ii
was evident that the champion would win,
and 100 to 10 was laid by Chip Norton. Iu
the ninth round Carney fought the
Newcastle man to a standstill
In the teuth round Burge showed
great pluck and made a game
effort to turn the tables, but Carney landed
his left heavily on Barge's neck and fought
him to the ropes. In the eleventh round
Burge clinched Carney and desperate in-,
fighting followed until they broke away,
when Carney knocked Burge down by a
tremendous blow on the left ear. Burge's
seconds on seeing their man was defeated
shouted "Foul," and to the surprise of all
Eresent the referee awarded the fight to
urge. Intense indignation waa expressed
with the decision. Carney cried like a child
at the Injustice done him. The men fought
with two-ounce gloves. Both pugilists
were terribly punished, especially Burjge.
The fight lasted 42 minutes.

a meeting last niirbt at which the award in
the Jackson and Corbett contest was under

lution adopted after the fight by which the
men were each awarded $2500. The di*
rectors also offered to give a purse for
another ocutest between Corbett and Jack
son. Jackson expressed a willingness to
fight again and offered to cancel his ar-
rangements for a match with Goddard in
Australia if necessary. Corbett refuaed the
offer and said he didn't want to fight again
under the auspices of ths California
Athletic club. b

THE PHILADELPHIA STEAL.
The Situation Rather Complicated with No
Striking Developments.
Philadelphia, Pa., May 26.—The city
commissioners met this morning, and
ignoring the appointment of Governor PaC-
tison's successor to City Treasurer Bards-
ley, proceeded to elect Richard C. Oellers,
business manager of the Record, to fill the
office. The question as to who has power
to fill the office of city treasurer has given
rise to much controversy, and will un«
doubtedly be left to ths courts to decide.
More than a week ago City Comptroller
Thompson made a demand upon Bardsley
for collateral securities which the city
treasurer is said to hold for some of the
money deposited ia the Keystone bank, bat
up to the present tin*e the demand has been
disregarded.
Bardsley is still under guard at his hou«e,
his condition still being too serious to war-
rant his removal. He has been unable to
obtain $50,000 demanded as security for bis
apnearance at the hearing on next Friday.
Expert accountants who are going over
Bardsiey's accounts stated this morning
that there would probably be some develop-
ments later in the day.
Nothing authentic is known of ths fugi-
tive president of the Keystone bank, al-
though rumors are continually locating him
in various parts of the couutry.
THE MORTGAGE WAj FORECLOSED
Bnt a Kanaas Mob Drove Awav the New
Tenant.
Topeka, Kan., May 36. —[Special]— A dis-
patch irom Jewett City says that Sunday
night about forty farmers in Washington
township. Jewell county, drove Oscar
Killespieger, a tenant who had taken
charge of a farm under a mortgage fore-
closure, from the place, and reinstated Joe
H. Bennett, who had been ejected by the
sheriff. Bennett borrowed money two years
ago to improve his place and defaulted in
his firat payment. Foreclosure proceedings
were instituted and the place ordered sold.
He refused to go and was backed by
the farmers, who are of the opinion
th*t all mousy lenders arc sharks and
robbers. The farm was purchased by
a law firm in Jewell City who represented a
young lady school teacher of that place
who had loaned the money. Killespieger,
acting for the firm, took a deputy aberiff
with him Saturday night and forced Ben-
nett to give way. The latter swore he
would yet get the place, aud Sunday night
returned with a TT^ob of forty men armed
with revolvers. The tenant was to*d thai
he could leave or his dead body would be
carted of! and Bennett took possession.
Killlespieger has the names of the leaders of
the mob Had will bring suit for damages.
Bennett belongs to the Farmers' alliance
and the officers in Jewell county are alli-
auce men.
Creates
An Appetite
There is nothing for which we recommend
Hood's SarSftparlHa with greater confidence
than for loss of appetite. Indigestion, slclt head-
ache and other troublea of dyspeptic nature. In
the most natural way this medicine gently
tones the stomaoh, assists digestion and makes
one leel "real hungry." Ladies in delicate
health, or very dainty and particular at meals,
after taking Hood's Sarsaparilla a few days,
find themselves longing for and eating the
plainest food with unexpected relish and satla-
faction. Try it.

Keep on taking pills, powders or potions to act
oa the bowels every day, but take Simauyis
Liver Regulator occasionally. It tones np the
system, makes continual dosing unnecessary
and assists nature to act herself. 1+ M. Hi*~
ton. M. D.. Washington. Ark., says "No other
remedy within my knowledge csu fill its place,
I have been practicing medicine for twenty
years, and havs never been able to put up a
vegetable compound that would, like Simmons
Liver Regulator, promptly and effectively
move the Liver to action and at the same time
aid (instead of weakening) the digestive
powers." W J. Hannafobd, Magnolia, N.
writes "We can speak cheerfully of the merits
of the Regulator, but are not compelled to take
it regularly, ss our liver is all right now. Many
of our friends aiso Ute and all speak in the
highest terms of the efficacy of 8imaxons Liver
Regulator.''
