The delay in paving Washington

N ow that the ,- Board of Health is
after the street flooding nuisance some-
thing will be done to stop it.
Dr. Tracey will receive the thanks
of every wheelman for his efforts to
stop the flooding of our streets by the
sprinkler nuisance.
To patch the fire alarm system is a
waste of money. Better reconstruct
the entire eight miles and place it in
first-class condition.
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot- for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
. a slave was made free. He says: “ My
wife has bEen so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
. alone. After using two bottles of Elec—
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully im-
proved and able to do her own workfs
This supreme remedy for female dis-
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep-
lessness, melancholy, headache, back-
ec‘ne, fainting’ and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c.

When it came to Croker’s private af-

that he is not obliged to testify of them.

THE BAKER MURDER TRIAL. ‘
All but One of the Accused Lynchers
Cluiul an Alibi.
CHARLESTON, April 18.—After set-
ting up alibis for Webster; Joyner and
Godwin yesterday the defense ‘in the
trial of the alleged Lake City lynchers
.p losed its case. Alibis were put for-
-' ward for Rodgers, McKnight, Epps and
Ward last week, so the only man in
whose behalf efforts have not been
made to establish one is Stokes, the
merchant who has been alleged by the
government to have been the leader of
the mob that killed Baker. It was
claimed on the stand that Godwin was
sick at home, that Joyner slept at. his
own residence with a schoolboy 'and
that Webster was at his own residhnce
with the grip the night of the lynching.
The sensation of the day came after
the defense had closed its case. -Among
its efforts to break down the testimony
of Newham, the man who turned state’s
evidence, was a pay certificate. It was
'not dated, the date having evidently
been scratched out, but the defense
claimed it was issued Feb. 21. In re—
buttal the government placed the stub
book of the county supervisor in evi—
dence, showing that the stub before and
the one after that of Newham was each
issued Feb. 23. The inference that the
Newham ticket had been indirectly
falsified was directly made and is ex—
pected to cut considerable figure in the
case in the future. ‘
' The government said it had about 25
.more witnesses'to examine, so argu-
ment will scarcely begin before tomor-
row. ~ .The case may reach the jury
Thursday.

A KUSSIAN’S VISION.
it Forms 3 Curious Contract to the
Czar’s Profession- of
Peace. ‘
In curious contrast with the . pro-
fessed love of peace of the present czar
of Russia comes the publication of a
pamphlet, “The War of the Future in
the Year 18—-,” the vision of allussiar.»
patriot. which was received with the
greatest interest in Russia proper and:
was translated into French and German
immediately after its appearance in
Russia, says the Boston Herald. The
story describes a war of Russia against
Great Britain, Italy, etc., starting from
the supposition that Russia possesses
a naval port in the. Arctic ocean not far
from the North cape and a much'
stronger fleet than now.
The author is hiding under the pseu-
donym “A Bjelomo” (meaning White
sea), but. his disguise is rather thin, for
everybody knows that Admiral Mal<a~
roll is behind it. Only last year the czar
authorized the use of 90,000,000 rubles
toward the opening; of Jckaferinport.
on the so-called Murmannie coast of
the Arctic. a splendid harbor, which, on
account of the influence of the gulf
stream, is open the year round, and to»
ward the building of additionalmen-ofs
war. The minister of the navy recently
went with Admiral Makaroffl to visit
thisnew port, and railroads will be. built
to connect it with Archangel and St.
Petersburg, the building of these rail-
roads being new assured beyond a
doubt. ~
Would- this not prove that the czar
has but small hopes of the ultimate vic-
tory of his pence projects?
Canaan’s Extent.
Those who only casually look at the
map are seldom impressed with the

Discovered by a . Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by a‘lady in this coun—
try. “ Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she withs
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three month-
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C..
