SETTLED THE DIFFICULTY.
After Cussing Each Other the Two Mis-
sourians Ilecamo Good Friends.
“Cussin’ out” used to be one of the
ways of settling controversies in the
Ozark country, says the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. It originated with old Uz
Findley and John Carter. The Find-
fleys came from Georgia. Old Uz took
a great interest in politics and wher-
ever he went he was followed by a ven-
erable negro named Bosen, whose duty
it was to steer his master home when,
he needed help. At one of the early
elections old Uz and John Carter be-
came very angry at each other. It
locked as If nothing hut a fight could
settle the issue between them, when
suddenly old Uz shouted: “Mr. Car-
ter, stand and be cussed.”
Carter removed his hat, walked out
about ten paces from the crowd and
told old Uz to go ahead. Findley re-
moved his hat and walking out in front
of Carter said, with deliberation and
emphasis: “Mr. Carter, if this earth
was one piece of parchment and the sea
one basin of ink and every quill upon
earth was one quill and I had the power
to use that quill, that parchment and
that ink, I would fall short, sir, of being
able to describe the corruption of your
old heart, sir/'
Carter never said a word, but stood
with uncovered head until Uz was
through. Then he said: “Mr. Findley,
stand, sir, until I cuss you.” Old Uz
“bowed his head and Carter said: “Mr.
Findley, had I all of the talents ever
produced in Europe and America com-
bined in solid phalanx and was to un-
dertake to speak of you I would then
fall short of describing the corruption
•of your old heart, sir.”
This settled the difficulty. The two
men resumed friendly relations. The
custom of that “cussin’ out” was thus
introduced in the Ozark country.
i Gallery of Human Curios.
The initial steps have been taken in
,an enterprise which, when completed,
w'ill give the American Museum of NaG
ural History a collection unique of its
kind. The idea is to have model fig-
fires representing at least one type
from every race of human beings on
the globe. Such a vast undertaking
will, of course, take years to consum-
mate and can only be carried on by
degrees.
The old Wood hall, where specimens
of American wood are shown, will con-
tain the specimens. Dr. Boaz, professor
of anthropology to the museum, has
already plaster casts and measurements
of faces, hands and feet of a number of
Indian tribes of the North Pacific coast
and a few models of some of the Brit-
ish Columbia Indians will be ready,
next week. Special attention will be
paid to the aborigines of this continent
and there are now nine museum at-
taches busy taking measurements of,
aboriginal tribes west of the Rockies.
Plaster casts will be taken of thei
faces, hands and feet and photographs
of the whole figure, full face and profile,
and exhaustive measurements will bej
made of the physique. With these data,
to work upon a plaster figure will be
cast and then clothed in the costume
of the native represented. The figures
will not be shown merely standing up
but groups will be designed showing
the mode of life and occupation of the
different races.—New York World.
Washington, March 2.—Intense
interest centered here last night in
the dispatches showing the demon-
strative feelings erasing in Spain
against the Americans regarding the
Cuban question and the statement
that the government is increasing its
naval force. Copies of dispatches re-
ceived were shown to public men in-
terested in the question. No surprise
was expressed at demonstrations that
have occurred. In fact, snch were
expected. The speeches in the senate,
extracts of which have no doubt been
published in the Spanish papers, have
had their influence on the masses of
people, who are impulsive, excited
and inspired with patriotic feelings,
and they have been thrown into au
unfriendly movement against the
United States officials. The whole
matter is regarded here simply as that
oi mob violence, for which the Span-
ish government has not in any man-
ner been responsible. So far as could
be learned last night no official news
had been received here by the govern-
ment. Steps undoubtedly will be
taken very promptly tp ascertain the
situation through the state depart-
ment channels, if Minister Taylor at
Madrid or Consul Bowen at Barcelona
do not anticipate the oilicials and make
a report. The Spanish minister, Senor
de Lome, heard of the happenings in
Spain through the Associated Press
dispatches, ami he was besieged by
reporters for expressions of his opin-
ion, but ne declined to give anything
for publication, pending news from
his government.
The Venezuelan Question.
Washington, Feb. 28.— Senor An-
drade, the Venezuelan minister here,
has received word from Caracus that
the commmission appointed by the
Venezuelan government to collect all
of the evidence obtainable in that
couutrv relative to the boundary liue
for the use ofThe American commis-
sion, is making rapid progress with
its work and expects to be able to for-
ward tne mat ter to Washington by
the next mail steamer. The British
case is expected to reach here even
before the Venezuelan side, and has
been actually submitted to parliament
in the form of a dummy, which will be
replaced the next te»v cays by tho full
papers in the case.
Day In tho House.
Washington, Eeb 29.—There was
an enthusiastic demonstration in the
bouse when Secretary Fox of the
| senate, shortly be ore 4 p. m., ap-
j peareci and announced the passage by
| the upper branch of congress of the
| Cuban resolutions, but the matter did
not come up in any other form dur-
ing the day. After encountering the
i unexpected opposition of Mr. Boutelle
I yesterday, the house leaders < oncluded
| to postpone taking up the resolutions
1 until the legislative bid was dssposed
of. The whole day in the house was
spent iu the consideration of thelegis-
i lative appropriation bill, and consider-
1 able progress was made.
Interstate Commission.
Washington, Feb, 28.—The senate
committee on interstate commerce
yesterday gave a hearing on the na-
: tional board of trade lor legislation
| requiring the interstaie commerce
commission to publish a uniform
classification of lreight rates to apply
to all sections of the country. E. P.

Don’t Bet Strangers Kiss the Baby.
“Your baby is the most lovely that
was ever born,” writes Isabel A. Mal-
lon in Ladies’ Home Journal, “but do
not let strangers, in their desire to ex-
press their admiration of it, kiss the
little lips that cannot object, or clasp
tightly in their arms the little body
that is, as yet, so tender. So many little
ones are injured by promiscuous kissing
that the wise mother tells the nurse
that once she knows outsiders are per-
mitted to kiss the baby her discharge
without a reference will promptly fol-
low. Hardhearted? No, indeed. Nurse
must consider, first of all, her charge,
even if, to the rest of the world, she
is unwilling to display the baby entrust-
ed to her care.”
Bloomers of Brocaded Satin.
Perhaps the most unique novelty is
the dainty lace-trimmed bloomers of
brocaded satin. They are designed to
take the place of the short flannel pet-
ticoat so dear to the heart of the old-
fashioned woman. These bloomers are
lined throughout with canton flannel
to give the necessary warmth, and real-
ly protect the legs much more effective-
ly than a skirt would. The fashionable
new woman wears over them nothing
but a long silk petticoat, and her dress
skirt, but she wears beneath them the
regulation flannel drawers. Less ex-i
pensive bloomers are made of taffeta,
and still others of flannel.

cial bodies lavoi ed the proposition.

Mtss Flagler’s Sentence.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Miss Eliza-
beth Flagler, daughter of General
Flagler, chief of ordnance, United
States army, who last spring shot a
colored boy named Green, son of a
treasury department messenger, was
arraigned in court yesterday. She
pleaded guilty to “involuntary man-
slaughter” and was sentenced to three
hours iu jail and to pay a fine of $500.
General Flagler paid the fine and the
youg lady was conducted to jail, where
she served the three hours.
Examination Postponed.
Washington, Feb. 29.—The exam-
ination of Mr. C. P. Huntington in the
Pacific railroad cases, which was to
have been continued yesterday by the
senate committee on Pacific roads,
was postponed until next Friday on
account of the illness of Mr. Hunting-
ton, who stated in a letter that he had
been confined to bis house by a severe
cold almost ever since he was last be-
tore the committee.
Frank P. Slavin has issued a chal-
i enge to fight Bob Fitzsimmons.
Tana BUI Killed.
Washington, Feb. 26.—This was a
day that will be remembered in the
life of the republican party. For the
first time it was announced that it
was impossible to do any thing
toward the relief of the country, and
this announcement was greeted as
nothing new. In fact it did not
create even a ripple of surprise. Mor-
rill made a last effort to briug up the
tariff bill for discussion, and when he
moved this he was met with the op-
position ot enough republicans to
beat him with eleven votes. He said
that this settled the matter, and it
was evident that the republicans did
not have a majority in the senate.
His words were pitched in a plaintive
key, and he fairly shed tears as he
threw up the sponge and intimated
in his language that the grand old
party had abandoned the hope oi
tariff legislation. When his proposi-
tion was made on a former day it was
beaten by eight voles, and from that
time to this it has been the constant
endeavor ot. the leaders to get the
lines together.

Hillsboro Postoffice,
Washington, Feb. 27.—Congress-
man Abbott has been receiving tele-
grams from Hillsboro asking him to
delay the location of the post office in
that town. The postoffice depart-
ment here sent a special inspector to
Hillsboro to inquire into the matter
of the location of the post office, with
reference to the convenience of the
public, and he returned a day or two
ago and reported that for said con-
venience it should be located in what
is known as the Chenault building.
The government having received and
indorsed this report will not make
auv change, and the result is that the
postoffice will be located for the
future in the Chenault building.
Interest in Tlie Cuban Question.
Washington, Feb. 25.—The public
interest in the Cuban question was
shown yesterday by the crowds which
came to the senate galleries in antici-
pation of a continuance of the Cuban
debate. Tne diplomatic gallery
showed the largest representation
since the session opened,the ministers
of Chile, Brazil, Hawaii and several
other countries being present. Mr.
Morgan of Alabama occupied almost
tne entire day in a narrative and his-
torical speech. Mr. Morgan spoke lor
three hours and had not concluded
when the senate adjourned. A
significant vote on the resolution for
an investigation of recent bond issues
was taken duriug the day.
Indian Appropriation Bill.
Wash£ng<ton, Feb. 251 —The house
yesterday iu committee of the whole,
after a very interesting debate, by a
vote of 93 to 64, decided that none of
the appropriations in the Indian ap-
propriation bill for Indian schools
should go for seel avion schools. The
on!)’ sectarian schools to which money
now g oes is lloman Catholic in denom-
ination, and ihe fight was lead by Mr.
Lincoln, (R) of Lincoln, who is the
most pronounced and openly avowed
A. P. A. member on the floor. In last
years bill the appropriation was cut
down 20 per cent, but Mr. Linton
moved an amendment to the effect
that no portion of this should go to
secretarian schools.
Cullom’s Armenian .Resolution.
Washington, Feb. 25.—Senator
Cullom yesterday presented a number
Oi petitions asking congress to call at
once a conference of Ihe European
powers for the purpose of securing
concerted action in rescuing the Ar-
menians irom their perilous position
and pledging the support of the
United States to any power who will
undertake this work or, iu case Eu-
ropean co-operadou appears to Vie in-
opportune, that our uearest relatives
be authorized to request permission
for this government -to put an eneffto
these unmitigated and almost un-
paralleled horrors.”
Gone to Boston.
Washington, Feb. 27.—^Governor
Culberson, Secretary of State May-
field, and Mr. Morse, the clerk ot the
supreme court of Texas, left lor Bos-
ton yesterday. They said that Mr.
Moore had a daughter there that he
was going to visit, and the other two,
wanting to see a little of the eastern
country, concluded to go along with
him. They declared that they were
not going to Beanville on any public
business.
Admitted, to Practice.
Washington, Feb. 28.—William
II. Weiss of Sau Antonio, Tex., has
been admitted to practice as an agent
for claimants before the interior de-
partment.
Pacific Railroad Committee.
Washington, Feb. 28. — J. C.
Stubbs, general traffic manager of the
Central Pacific, appeared before the
Pacific railroad committee of the
house yesterday and made an argu-
ment to prove that discriminating
rates had not been made which
diverted the business of the Union
and Central Pacific to the Southern
Pacific, and also to prove that, owing
to competition, these roads no longer
had a monopoly of California business.

The interest in the Pearl Bryan
murder case is steadily increasing.
Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky, has of-
fered a reward for the arrest of the
men who perpetrated the late outrage
at Lebanon in that state. From this
wa draw the gratifying inference that
he does not intend to do any premature
pardoning in their case.
The San Francisco Argonaut figures
out that in the last few years foreign

but the drain of bullion is serious.
Man Was Made to Mourn,
Perhaps, hut rheumatism need not add to the
calamities to which we are more or less sub-
ject when there is such an efficient means of
counteracting the dire complaint as llos-
tetter’s Stomach Bitters. When the liver,
bowels or stomach are out of order, or the
kidneys or nerves troublesome, the Bitters is
also an efficient remedy. It prevents and
remedies all malarial disorders.

to favor it I sprained my ankle. The sore
became worse; I could not put my boot
on and I thought I should have to give up
at every step. I could not get any relief
and had to stop work. I read of a cure of
a similar case by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
concluded to try it. Before I had taken
all of two bottles the sore had healed and
the swelling had gone down. My
