MISS HOSE OWENS,

WASHINGTON, D. C.
"If every suffering woman
has the same experience with
Wine of that I had,
your medicine will be most
npular. About a year ago
>egan to haft a worn out
tired feeling with lassitude,
pains in the back and head
which kept increasing every
mootA/ I felt that I needed
something, but to get the
right medicine was the trou-
ble. I finally decided on
your Vine of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when I was fully re-
covered."
[HEN Uiss Rose Owens, who
has a responsible position in
vie Government service at
Washington, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wiso
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
6trong medicine but may be taken every
day in the vear by any -woman with
benefit. It cloes not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and i3 the unest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.

"I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough."

Opinions in BeaumontCases being
Considered by Interested
Attorneys.
An attorney who represents the li-
quor Dealers' association of Dallas
held a lor.t; conference with County At-
torney llaiton W. Sumners this morn-
ing relative to his ripiy to the Prohi-
bition alliance of Dailus, in which In-
stated that he would conduct prosecu-
tions where complaint is made that,
the state Sunday law is being violated
in Dallas. In other words, the issue is
whether or not the city has the power
to enact a valid ordinance lixlns th«
• closing period from !) a. m. to 4 p. m.
instead of from 12 to VI. After a
lengthy discussion the records ol' the
court of criminal appeals were con-
sulted. From the opinions in pool sell-
ing cases at Beaumont it appears that
• the prohibitory law was knocked out
because the charter of the city of
Beaumont did not authorize such an
ordinance. It is then recited that the
city did not have the power to prohibit
* business which was legalized by the
state.
Counsel for the liquor dealers con-
tend that this does not cover the point
tit issue In Dallas because the body
which enacted the state Sunday law
lso conferred power upon the munici-
pality by special charter to regulate
the closing of saloons on Sunday. This
was the situation at noon to-day. Mr.
Sumners believed that the court of
criminal appeals could be induced to
pass upon the case from Dallas next
week and was inclined to let the mat-
ter rest until the higher court speaks.
He had not decided, however, but will
probably reach a conclusion this after-
noon.
Counsel for the saloon men stated
that in case the state insisted on acting
at once he hoped that a test case could
be tried at an early date so as to avoid
wholesale arrests of people who did
wot desire to violate the law.
Correspondence between the county
attorney and the Prohbition alliance
follow:
Dallas, Tex., Juno 5.—Mr. Hatton W.
Sumners, County Attorney, Dallas,
Tex.: Dear Sir—What has become of
the test case sent to the court of crim-
inal appeuls over four months ago as
lo the validity of the Sunday closing
law in Dallas in conflict with the slate
law? Will you prosecute violators of
the Sunday law if proofs are furnish-
ed you that, such violations occur. Very
truly yours. G. McMURRAY,
Secretary Dallas Prohibition Alliance.
By order of committee.
Office of the County Attorney, Dallas,
Tex., June 5, 1902.—Mr. G. McMurray.
Dallas, Tex.: D ar Sir—Replying to
inouirtes contained in your letter of
this date relative to disposition of a
case carried up from the county court
to test the validity of the "nine to
four" city ordinance, and also whether
or not I would prosecute for violations
of the state Sunday law, will state that
no opinion has been handed down in
the case you refer to. Practically the
same question as that raised therein
has, however, been recently passed
upon by the court of criminal appeals
In a case which went up from Beau-
mont. The court in tint case hold
against the validity of the city ordl-
nonce. I do not consider the law in
such condition of doubt as would Jus-
tify me in waiting longer on the court
of criminal appeals to hand down its
opinion In the case carried tip from this
r-ounty. If proof Is furnished me t'hat
Ihe stnte law is violated, I will prose-
lite the violators. TJespectfultv
HATTON W. SUMNERS.
The reporter sought Sheriff J. Roll
Johnson and asked him if it was his
purpose to close all saloons in Dallas
from midnight Saturday until midnight
Bungay.
"No. sir. unless I got orders from the
eountv attorney's department to do so.
Tn cities this Is a police regulation with
tvhich sheriffs do not Interfere unless
corrmandpd to do so. La.«tt fall when
I raised the saloons both the city and
state laws were being violated, as 11-

of 9 a. m. and 4 p. m."
SENATE GRANTS AMNESTY,
Havana. June 7.—The senate today
passed unanimously the bill granting
amnesty to the American prisoners in
Jail or awaiting trial. It is understood
that President Palma will sign the bill
This amnesty will affect Estes G. Rath-
bone amonsj others. He Is disappoint-
ed that this action of the Republic
prevents his being granted a new trial
In Cuba, but will Immediately, so he
says, appeal to his friends In the United
States to have him awarded a second
trial there. Failing that he will ask
a congressional Investigation.
CHICAGO CAPTURED HONORS.
Chicago. June 7.—The unexpected
happened today In the Chicago Univer-
sity of Chicago track meet. The Pacific
coast lads had been touted as winners,
principally because of Captain Mahon-
ey's liability to participate owing to
v Injuries received at last Satui day's
conference meet, but the Chicago Ma-
nou captured the honors by a score of
RMItl points. The weather was wet,
tlM aiming events being finished in a
varltable down-pour. Crinnell college,
Iowa won the inter-scholastic meet.
Fort Worth, Tex., June 7.—Deputy
United States Marshal Dryden this
evening brought Charles Coilard and
Dr. G. S. Beatty here from Decatur,
where they were captured by Sheriff
McClure of Wise county.
Coilard killed a Cincinnati commer-
cial drummer at Kiowa, I. T., last Hun-
day, and accompanied by Dr. Beatty,
escaped, with a mob closely pursuing.
They drove across the county eighty
miles to the Frisco and came to Fort
Worth, and then went to Wise county.
Coilard is postmaster at Kiowa.
Both men were held by Commissioner
Dodges.
COLORED MINER LYNCHED.
Biueticlds, W. Va., June 7.—John
Winy, a colored miner, was lynched to-
day for an alleged assault on a little
girl named Mary Green. The deed was
committed in broad daylight. He wsis
arrested shortly after the crime and
placed in jail at Bondtown. When the
news was received citizens gathered
in large numbers, went t Bondtown.
broke open the jail and dragged Winy
from his cell. They took him a short
distance from the jail and more than
500 shots were fired into him. He was
completely riddled with bullets. The
mob then dispersed.
KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Kolcomo, Ind., June 7.—At a grade
crossing of the Pennsylvania road,
three miles northwest of this city,
three young men whose homes were in
Galveston, seven miles north of here,
were run down and Instantly killed by
a westbound passenger train at S
o'clock to-night. The killed are:
Harry Young.
Will Patterson.
Thomas James.
The men were in a buggy returning
home from this city. The skulls of all
three victims were crushed.
Washington, June 7.—Representa-
tive Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland,
Ohio, chairman of the rivers and har-
bors committee of the house, who ai-
reay has been renominated by the Re-
publicans, announces tonight that he
intends to withdraw from the race for
congress.
He takes this step as a protest
against boss rule In Cleveland, which
has resulted in the election of a man
named Abel as chairman of the Re-
publican county committee. Mr. Bur-
ton earnestly requested that tills man
Abel me not elected to the position,
and vehemenently protested against
ift. Regardless, however, of his re-
quest and earnest protest, Abel was
elected chairman and campaign man-
ager .in Burton's congressional district,
largely through the interference of four
federal office holders.
Mr. Burton is a man who does his own
thinking and who refuses to bow to
boss rule, consequently he has con-
cluded after mature deliberation find
consultation with friends to withdraw
from the congressional race. |
As Mr. Burton has been so much in
the public eye, lately, as chairman of
the rivers and harbors committee, his
voluntary withdrawal from congress-
ional life is of national interest.
Mr. Burton is a stubborn man, and
has a strong will, and has been the
lion in the pathway of many meritor-
ious rrver and harbor enterprises in the
south, but it is universally conceded
that he Is honest and undoubtedly is
one of the most accomplished atid In-
tellectual men on the Republican side
of the house. His knowledge of riv-
ers and harbors matters In this coun-
try Is second to none In the nation. It
is believed here, however, that a peace-
ful solution of this problem will be had
through the withdrawal of Abel as
chairman of the committee in Cleve-
land.
Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, has written Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw a letter calculated
to tingle his nerves. As stated, in these
dispatches, the First National bank
of Hattiesburg, Miss., was made a gov-
ernment depository at the request of
United Staten Marshal Edgar S. Wil-
son, patronage referee for the state of
Mississippi. This was done after Sec-
retary Shaw had given his word, both
oral and written, to Mr. Williams that
he had no intention of making a gov-
ernment depository In Hattiesburg be-
fore next fall and Mr. Williams hal
communicated this word to the First
National bank, and Bank of Commerce
In Hattiesburg. This same informa-
tion concerning the intention of Sec-
retary Shaw was likewise given to
Senator McLaurin of Mississippi. Con-
sequently Mr. Williams wrote Secre-
tary Shaw that he had exercised his
official right to rely on the veracity
of Shaw's assurance to him previous
to Wilson's advent in the matter, and
asked an explanation.

Forms of Torture Used by the American Sol-
diers on Filipino Prisoners as
"told by Private Weir and
tixploiled by Senator
Culberson.
Washington, June 7.—Secretary Root
declines to make known anything as to
the course of action of the war depart-
ment in the matter of the charges tiled
against Lieutenant Arnold of the fourth
cavalry and Sergeant Matthews of the
same regiment for alleged cruelties to
Filipinos, beyond the statement that
! be has ordered the trial of the ser-
geant by court-martial and an Investi-
gation of the charges against Lieuten-
ant Arnold, with a view to determining
future action in this case.
Colonel Crowder of the Judge advo-
cate general's department Is conduct-
ing the investigation of the Arnold
case. A previous investigation of the
case satisfied the officials that the pa-
pers on file In the case, Including the
charges made by Private Weir, did not
justify court-martial proceedings in
that case.
11 is learned at the war department
this evening that the effort to ascer-
tain how Senator Culberson secured
copies of the papers in this case haa
so far proved unsuccessful.
It is stated further that nothing has
been developed by the investigation
into the matter up to this time to Im-
plicate Lieutenant General Miles per-
sonally in the transaction, despite the
intimations to that effect by Senator
Beveridge.
The papers went through the hand*
of many clerks In the offices of the sec-
retary and adjutant general, the judge
advocate general and the lieutenant
general and the leak at the department
—If there was one—has not yet been
traced.
Lieutcnnnt General Miles, who ts
r.'iw at Fort Riley, Kas., lias been out
of the city since Monday, but the offi-
cers ut headquarters disclaim any
knowledge as to how Senator Culber-
son obtained the copies he submitted
to the senate.
Ail the officers at the departments,
through whose hands the papers pass-
( i. also deny most emphatically any
responsibility for the alleged leakage.
In the absence of any direct informa-
tion implicating General Miles person-
ally of discourtesy In the matter it is
noi regarded as likely that any discip-
linary measures will be adopted. The
friends of that officer deprecate what
they term the efforts of his enemies to
widen the breach between himself and
the secretary of war in the matter.
The papers consist of the charges
made by Private Andrew K. Weir
against Lieutenant Arnold, and Captain
West's report of his investigation. Weir
asserted that the tortures inflicted by
American soldiers were us great as
those inflicted by Filipinos. He told
of a case which he witnessed, in which,
under orders from Lieutenant Arnold
•Sergeant Edwards tortured a prisoner
to make him confess to crime. The
Filipino was first tortured by the water
cure. "A small stick," says Weir,
"about eight Inches long and a half
inch in diameter, was put between the
man's jaws. A soldier held the man's
head down by pressing on the ends of
the stick. Another sat on the man's
stomach, and still another sat on the
man's legs. Edwards had a bucket of
water at hand; water was poured
down the man's throat. While down he
was whipped and beaten unmercifully.
He was then stood up and asked to
confess. He did not. He was then
beaten and clubbed again. I do not
think that a square inch of the man's
body was left untouched. He was
kicked, a rope was thrown across a
beam, the man strung up by the
thumbs, another rope was tied to his
ankles and his feet jerked from under
him. While up he was beaten."
Weir threatened to report Lieutenant
Arnold, and Arnold threatened to
court-martial him for insubordination.
The prisoner did not confess.
Another of Arnold's methods of tor-
ture, Weir said, was to cut a strip of
flesh Just above the ankle of the pris-
oner. The strip was then at-
tached to a. stick and the
stick was then coiled with the
strip of flesh. Weir saw a man who
bad been treated in this way, and who
was then put to work in the road with
other prisoners.
AV->ir charged that Lieutenant Arnold
had his men take an old man to a
stream and keep him under water un-
til he was unconscious.
Another of Arnold's methods, Weir
charged, was to tie a prisoner to a sad-
dled horse, allowing a few feet of slack.
A soldier then mounted the horse and
galloped down the road for a mile and
then back.
"If tl.e prisoner," said Weir, "could
run as fast as the horse it was all well,
but if he could not he had to drag."
Captain West was ordered to inves-
tigate tills and he examined soldiers,
who ull corroborated Weir's charges.
Captain West reported that, in his
opinion, a thorough Investigation
would substantiate Weir's charges.
LIEUT.-GEN. MILES
DECLINES TO TALK.
Says that Senator Culberson has Effectively Answered the
Charges Made Against Him—A Precedent
Set by Miles
Chicago, June 7.—General Miles ar-
rived in Chicago yesterday on his way
to Washington. He left the train and
immediately went to the home of a
friend, failing to report at the army
headquarters in the Pullman building
until a short time before his departure
for Washington In the afternoon, lie
was exceedingly uncommunicative. Ib-
left for Washington late in the after-
noon, and before going denied that he
was going to West Point to attend the
graduation exercises at the military
academy. General Miles said that he
would prefer not to talk about the
reasons for his hurried journey to
Washington.
When told of the report that he had
been ordered to the national capital
General Miles admitted that it was
true, and that he was not going to
West Point.
"I do not dare to outline any possi-
ble defense," said the general, "until
I have been faced with the charges
made against me. If there are any
such charges. It Is n. matter which
I do not feel that I should talk about
at this time."
Lieutenant General Miles went to
Fort Riley two days ago to attend
the meeting of the board convened to
observe the long-range gun tests, and
It was expxected that ho would thus
be engaged for several days, lie sud-
denly took his departure and started
from Kansas City Thursday for the
East. The general said he had been
recalled to Washington by order of
the president to face charges of hav-
ing betrayed official secrets. He is
mony of substantial and reliable wit-
nesses proved this.
What the result of the Investigation
will be Is a matter of interest. Should
the grand jury find that a sufficient
number of fraudulent votes were cast
to change the result and that the five
boxes were stuffed and poll lists pad-
ded, more than one officer nominated
would really stand defeated, as the al-
legations are that the boxes were fixed
in the interest of a combination, do-
noinlnated "the Big Four."
suspected of having furnished the de-
tails of the scandal Involving Lieuten-
ant Arnold. On this matter all Gen-
eral Miles would say was: "Senator
Culberson seems to have made an an-
swer as full as one could make, and
as explicit as Senator Beveridge or
anyone could demand."
"llut for yourself, general?"
"1 repeat that Senator Culberson
seems to have made the reply for
which you are asking."
Washington. June 7.—In spile of the
known f;u i that General Miles has
i been directed to report at Washington,
j Secretary ltoot denies that any such
! order lias been issued. It is Insisted nt
the war department that if the gen-
eral is on his way here it is because
of his fear that the fuss kicked up
over the Arnold letter may Jeopardize
his position. Senator Culberson con-
tinues to refuse to tell who furnished
him with the letter from the war
archives.
It was recalled to-day that two years
ago General Miles secured the retire-
ment of Major E. C. Dutton for giving
out a department document, the same
offense of which Miles Is now suspect-
ed. Major Dutton gave out a letter
relating to ordnance matters, which
so displeased General Miles that he
recommended Dutton's retirement.
Dutton was given a chance to resign,
and did resign the day before lie
would otherwise have been retired in
the regular order of things. The case
is cited by those who claim that Miles'
retirement would simply be in order
with Ills own ruling two years ago in
a brother officer's case.

THE HOST ASTOUNDING
Medical Discovery of the Age.
It is Pleasant to Take and Harmless as Milk.
This new and wonderful tonic possesses powers and qualities hitherto un-
known to tlio medical profession. It ha* completely solved the problem of the
cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complain, Kidney Trouble, and Disease of
the general Nervous System. No remedy compares with it as a builder and
strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken down constitution. It is a marvelous cure for Nervousness of Females of
all uges. It is of inestimable value to the Aged and Infirm, because Its greai en-
ergetic properties will give them a new held on life. As a cure ior every class of
nervous disease no remedy has been able to compare with Germicide, which Is
very pleasant und harmless ill all its effects upon thu youngest child or the oldest
and most dellcato individual. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food
in the blood, a general state of debility cf the brain, spinal sorrow and w«a<
nerves are the result. Starved nerves like starved muscles, become strong when
the right kind of food Is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disap-
pear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by
which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the iirst to suffer for want
>>t' perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of thu
kind or nutrimeut necessary to repair the wear our present mode or living and
labor imposes upon the nerv.es. For tins reason 11 becomes neuenury that a nervo
food l>e supplied. Germicide has been found, by analysis, lo contain the essential
elements out of which nerve tissue is founed. This accounts for its magic power
lo cure all forms of nervous derangements. Germicide is the only absolute, un-
iuillug remedy ever discovered for the euro of indigestion, Dyspepsia, and the vast
tiuin of symptoms anil horrors which are the results ol disease and debility of
the human stomach. No person can afford to pass by this jewel of Incalculable
l \alue, who la affected by disease of the stomach, because th • experience and testi-
mony of thousands go to prove that this is the ONE and ONL.1! ONE great cure
In thu world of ibis universal destroyer. There is no case of unraalignant dis-
ease of the stomach which can resist the wonderful curative powers of Germi-
cide.

New York, June ".--Captain Harry, of
the cruiser Dixie, Just returned from
bearing supplies to the volcano victims
in the West Indies, said regarding the
conditions In the islands: The con-
ditions are not as bad on Martinique
as on Ht Vincent, b^ause on Mar-
tinique the people are fulrly well sup-
plied with everything and there Is no
danger <>r future eruptions. Only a
small area of twelve square miles has
been devastated, but on St. Vincent
the destruction extends over a third of
the Island. Plantations, orchards and
everything hrve been ruined, and
mentis of subsistence haa been taken
a/way from the people, and thousands
are left in need of some kind of sup-
port."
