1 VOLUME XXXVIII. I TWO BAD IJOI'S. James and David Whitehurst F steal Wm. Liby's PocketBook Containing #®3. Two small boys, James Whitehurst, aged 18 and his brother Daved anfd 12 years, living with their grand-father, David Liby, of Kirkland township, left home last week, and taking with them Wm. Liby’s pocket book, containing 858, went to the bouse of G. H. Bright. They were not at home and the doors being locked the boys entered the house through a window and ransacked the house, stole his watch, a valuable gold chain, his wife’s gold .finger ring and bis gun. They concealed the gun in the woods and went to Peterson and bought $1 worth of shot, 81 worth of powder and 10 cents worth of caps. They returned to the woods again and prepared to camp out, but game being too scarce the boys returned home during the night and returned SSO of the money. By the inducements of their grand parents they told where the watch, ring and gun were concealed in the woods and the property was recovered and returned to Mr. Bright. It has caused quite a sensation in the neighborhood where the theft was committed. The boys are intelligent, but have the name of being bad boys. The money returned by the boys (850) was in one bill, and it is supposed they would have spent more of it had (it 1 been in smaller denominations ylere’s A Fortune for Pete I Russell.

y''BK A STRANGE CASE. How an Enemy was Foiled. Tho following graphic statement will bo read with intense interest: "1 cannot describe the numb, creepy sensation thatexlsted In my arms, hands and legs. I had to rub and beat those parts until they were sore, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had.taken possession of them, in addition, I had a strange weakness in my back and around my waist, together with an indescribable ‘gone' feeling in my stomach. Physicians said It was creeping paralysis, from which, accord k ing to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they say, it continues its insidious progress until it reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no particular benefit, when I saw an advertisement of Dr Miles' Restorative Nervine, procured a bottle and began using it. Marvelous as It may seem, but a few days had passed before H every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, 1 and there has not been even the slightest indication of its return. I now feel as well as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though I had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine on my recomendatlon, and it has been as satisfactory In their cases as in mine."—James Kane, La Rue, O.

will MUND SIGN" Not Now Disposed to Attach His Name to the Tariff Hill. BEING URGED TO DO SO. B>me Friend, of the Prr.ldenl Present Argument. In Favor of Much Action. Speculation a. to What the Senate Will Do With the Home Bill.—Revenue Receipt.—Other Capital Gleaning*. Washington, Aug. 15.—The tariff bill is expected to reach the president some . time today, after which he will have until a week from next Monday, if he desires it, in which to consider it. It can be stated with almost absolute certainty that the bill will liecomo a law either by the president's signature or by his returning it in 10 days without action, the presumption being largely in favor of the latter alternative. 0 The president has repeatedly, told his friends that he could not signzjße bill, . but many of his closest personfft friends are urging him to sign it without delay. Several reasons are urged, among them the fact that the opening Os fall trade is close at hand and that a delay of 10 days might result in serious loss of customs revenues. Another renson stated was that congress was extremely anxious to adjourn. With the exception of two months, the members had been iu constant attendance for over a year, and it was represented that now that their work was practically accomplished it would be hardly fair to compel them to remain here in idleness when no positive good could be accomplished thereby. He was advised to forego his scimples in the matter*£ign the bill and return it with a message which would leave no room for doubt as to his views thereon. It is estimated that during the next 10 days the receipts from internal revenue will probably amount to between $lO,000,000 and $15,000,000, and the government will lose the increased whisky tax to this extent. In view of the depleted condition of the treasury, this argument probably will have weight with the president. It is knowm, though, that up to this time Mr. Cleveland has not changed his determination to permit the bill to . become a law by retaining it the neces- ' sary 10 days without action. SUPPLEMENTAL BILLS. Disposition In the Senate to at Leant Put Sugar on a Revenue Basis. Washington, Aug. 15.—The Democratic leaders of the senate are occupied in trying to determine what course to pursue with reference to the supple- • mental tariff bills. The Democratic steering committee was in session for two hours yesterday after the senate adjourned trying to determine upon the most advisable policy, and previous to the meeting the conservative senators had a conference. It is understood that the conservatives advocate the reference of the bills To the finance committee, while the steering committee is apparently somewhat divided on the question. Appearances all indicate, however, that a large majority of the Democratic senators would like to have the bills passed if they could feel assured that the passage would not reduce the governmental revenues to too great an extent. The interest in these bills, as in the main tariff bill, is in the sugar question,and it is to the free sugar bill that they are giving their principal attention. There is an evident tendency ou the part of a majority of Democratic senators toward amending the sugar bill so as to make it a revenue bill pure, and simple, and it is now fho programme of the DemiXTatic leaders to amend the bill, if there should prove to boa prospect of its becoming a law, by reducing the ditty, making it Uniform, and striking off the differential on refined sugar. The reduction would depend upon the figures which the treasury department will furnish as to the amount of revenue it will be necessary to secure from sugar under the new tariff. Secretary Carlisle has promised to furnish estimates. The bills will probably, occupy a large part of today’s discussions in the senate, which will serve to develop the real intentions of Republicans and possibly what differences may exist in the Democratic party. CLAIM AGAINST STANFORD. Government Disposed to Press Its Suit. Effects Already Felt. Washington, Aug. 15. — There is reason to believe that the government’s claim against the estate of ex-Senator Leland Stanford will be tested in the courts before there has been any actual default in the payments. Attorney General Olney’s notice to the executrix of the government’s claim has interfered somewhat with the closing up of the estate and may result in the closing up of the university. Under the conditions the attorney general proposed that if the executrix would waive any right she might have by reason of the premature bringing of the suit he would gladly consent to have proceedings begin at once. It is believed that no objection will be made to that course, especially as a speedy adjudication of the claim would be in the interest of the estate. OFFICIALLY PREPARED. Figures Showing Effect of Tariff on Revenue Receipt*. Washington, Aug. 15.—The passage of the tariff bill has led to various estimates as to the effects it will have upon the national revenues. The following figures from official preparations are oi interest:;' The treasury estimate for the fiscal year two aggregated revenues or $401,427,748 from these sources: Customs, $190,000,000; internal revenue, $160,000,000; miscellaneous items, $20,000,000; postal service, $84,421,748. The estnhnto of. revenue under the bill ns it passed the Inmso made a total of $148,085,177.82, divided as follows: ? Customs, $124,657,429.32; internal revenue (under present law),a $160,000,000; internal revenue, additional (under bin 4864 k $53,000,000; miscellaneous items (under present law), $20,000,000; postal Service (under present law), $84,437,748. The estimate of revenues under the 4- - ■>>»!>.jc

. himsc bill ns amended and passed by the i senate July 8, 1894, exceeds in the aggregate both the two previous estimates I and gives the following showing: Customs, $179,251,146.16; internal revenue I (as above stated), $218,000,000; miscellaneous items (as abovd stated), $20,000,OtX); postal service (tw uteve stated), $84,427,738. Total, $196,678,890.16. Under the house bill the ad valorem rates of duty showed a decrease of duty amounting to $73,716,032.65 and under the senate bill the decrease of dut y is shown at $19,122,310.81. In this computation articles that are free from duty are excluded. _ A statement prepared shows the dutiable value under the present law as $400,069,(158.48, with a duty of $198,373,452.97, tin- ad valorem rate being 49.58 per cent; under the house bill the dutiable value was $351,041,963.12; duty, $124 ,657,429.32; ad valorem rate, 35.51; under senate bill dutiable value, $464,447,163.11; duty, $179,251,112.16; ad va lorem rati', 88.68. ANOTHER LEITER TO WILSON. PreMident Credited With Writing It Since Hie House Tariff Deelkion. New York, Aug. 15.—World’s Wash- 1 ington dispatch says President Cleve- i land wrote another letter to Mr. Wilson upon the announcement of the caucus; decision, in which he admonished the house leader to exercise great care in • husbanding his strength in order that he i may continue the fight for tariff reform. . The president is credited with asking that Mr. Wilsou not despair and that he, too, has felt great, disappointment at j the outcome. The dispatch adds: “At one time, the | president says, he had Ix'gun to doubt whether the Democratic party was after all the real party of tariff reform, but lie had not ]xTmitted himself to entertain the thought, realizing that, no matter what may lie the temporary obstacles in the way to progress, the party mjist continue its crusade and its members must remain loyal to the cardinal principle of the organization.” INCREASED REVENUE. Treasury Officials Expect Great Increase In Receipts For Ten Days. Washington, Aug. 15.—Treasury officials anticipate a very great increase in the receipts from internal revenue ‘ sources within the next 10 days in ease I the president ajlows the tariff bill to be- ' come a law by withholding his signa- i ture. Large amounts of whisky and I spirits at all of the great distillery centers have been reguaged and it is assumed that practically all of it will lie withdrawn if possible before the bill becomes a law. Dining the next 10 days the internal revenue receipts are expected to reach $1,500,000 a day. The customs officials of the treasury expect also a marked increase in customs receipts from now on, and particularly during the next month or so. • . ; Conference Agreement. Washington, Aug. 15.—The sundry civil appropriation bill has been reported from conference, the committee hav- I ing agreed. INDIAN TEACHING. Mr. Hajlman Contends For Educational Equality of Red and White. St. Paul, Aug. 15.—About 150 supervisors and ■ teachers of Indian schools were present at the session of the instistute in the capitol yesterday. Superim ! teiident Hailman of Washington dis- ; cussed “Principles of Method in School Work” and did not confine his talk altogether to Indian schools, although it ’ was meant to ajiply to them particularly. He contended for the equality of rhe rod and white man and held that the chil- J • ;ven of the funner as well as those of I the latter should be given the best possi- ■ l>le ■ advantages while rl. v were ‘in ■ . school.

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.—The Befhle- i heiii Steel company has begun deliver- ! ing at Cramp’s navyyard the 630 tons of 18-inch side armor for the battleship Indiana. The work of putting the plates in place will be" begun at once, but it I will be six months before this delicate operation is finished.
