Degonia Springs, Ind., Jan. 1903. To the Public: I have known Dr. D. W. Tucker, formerly of Boonville, Ind., now of Ft. Wavne, ever since he was born.

HE WAS MIXED UP President Smith of the Mormon Church Held to Personalities. Like the Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe He Had So Many Children He Didn’t Know What to Do. Not Quite Sure of the Whole Number, But Finally Gives it as Forty-two. Washington, March 8. —After having Jos. E. Smith, president of the Mormon church on the stand for nearly five hours yesterday before the senate committee on provisions and elections which is investigating the right of Reed Smoot as a senator, both the prosecution and defense announced that they were through with him and another witness was called. This was Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy who told some secrets of the Mormon church which, if not broken down, will prove as important as the statements of President Smith that he and other officials have been persistently cohabitating with plural wives in violation of the law. Mrs. Kennedy said she was married by Brigham Young, an apostle of the church, to James Francis Johnson, a polyagmist, since the manifesto of 1890, and that she has had tw'o children by that husband. The marriage was performed in Mexico, according to the witness, at the home of a nigh official of the church. Before he left Mr. Smith testified that his election as president was since Mr. Smoot’s election as an apostle. Senator Foraker asked Mr. Smith if he had any objection to Mr. Smoot becoming a candidate for senator, and Mr. Smith said: “I gave my consent to his becoming a candidate.” “Why did you think your consent necessary?” asked Chairman Burrows. “Because it is a rule that anyone of the general authorities of the church desiring to engage in any business outside of his church duties must get the consent of the first presidency and the twelve apostles before he can do so,” said Mr. Smith. Mr. Taylor returned to the testimony in regard to the number of children Mr. Smith has had since the manifesto of 1890, and he reported that there had been eleven, to the best of his recollection. “Are you sure of the number?” “I cannot say that I am absolutely sure.”

“Now, I don’t want to be impertinent, but isn’t it a fact that there have been twenty?” asked Mr. Taylor. “No, nothing like that,” was the answer. Mr. Taylor again asked for a detailed schedule of Mr. Smith’s children born since 1890, and over the protest of Mr. Smith, Chairman Burrows directed that the question be answered, Mr. Smith gave a list of children by the wives in the order in which he married them. The list is as follows: By Julina —Edith and Rachel. By Sarah —Asenath and Jenneta. By Edna —Martha and one child which died. By Alice —Fielding, Jesse and Andrew. By Mary—Silas, Agnes, James and maybe Calvin. He said he did not know the age of the last named. Mr. Taylor questioned the witness in regard to the ages of several others of the children, and Mr. Smith answered: “I am not in the habit of carrying birth records about with me.” Both the prosecution and the defense announced that they were through with Mr. Smith for the present, but before he was allowed to leave the stand Chairman Burrows inquired: “How many children have you now, Mr. Smith?” “Forty-two,” was the answer. “Twenty-one boys and twenty-one girls, and I am proud of every one of them." H 1 As Mr. Smith started to leave the stand Senator Dubois again stopped him and asked the ages of President Woodruff and of President Snow at the time of their deaths. “It appears that both were more than seventy when the manifesto was issued,” said Senator Dubois. “You have testified that both obeyed the law in relation to polygamous cohabitation and have not practiced it since that time. I think it likely.” Senator Overman said that he had 1 ..amphlet saying that Jesus Christ was a polygamist. Turning to Mr. Smith he asked: "Is that what your church teaches?” "No, sir,” was the response. "What we teach is that Jesus Christ was descended through a long line of polygamists through David and down to Abraham." With that Mr. Smith left the stand, having been the only witness in the five days the hearing has progressed. The prosecution then called to the stand Mrs. Clara Mabel Kennedy of Sevier county, Utah, who testified to having been married into a plural marriage since the manifesto of 1890Considering the Army Bill. Washington, March 8. —The senate passed the naval appropriation bill which has been betore ii for the past tour or five days, and then took up the army biil.

AN OHIO LYNCHING Mob Takes Negro Murderer From Jail and Riddle His Body. Springfield, 0., March 8. —Richard Dixon, a desperate negro, who fatally shot Policeman Chas. Collis Sunday morning, was taken from the county jail last night by an infuriated mob, and shot to death in the jail yard, and a few moments later the body was taken to the corner or Main street and Fountain avenue, wnere the mob spent a half hour riddling the body with bullets from seveicu Hundred revolvers. Dixon shot Policeman Collis Sunday morning in the former’s room in the Jones hotel and Collis died at noon Monday. Collis nad served for twelve years on the force and was regarded as one of the most reliable and effi cient men in the police department. He had gone to Dixon’s room on the negro’s request. Dixon said his mistress had nis clothes in her possession and had got the consent of Jones, the colored proprietor, to keep Dixon away from his house. Collis accompanied Dixon to the room and in a short time the man and woman angaged in a quarrel which resulted in Dixon shooting the woman, who is variously known as Anna or Mattie Corbin, in the left breast just over the heart. She fell unconscious at the first shot and Collis jumped toward the negro to prevent his escaping from the room. Dixon then fired four balls into Collis, the last of which penetrated his abdomen. Dixon then fled from the room and as he started to go down the stairs the dying policeman sent two bullets through the glass door, neither of which struck the mark. Collis then staggered down the stairs and on reaching the street emptied the remaining chambers of his gun at the flying negro. He was not hit, however, and went immediately to police headquarters and gave himself up. He was taken to jail and Collis and the wounded negress were taken to the hospital. All afternoon the killing of Collis was the sole topic of conversation and both Police Judge Miller and Common Pleas Judge Mower are freely censured. They have both sentenced him at various times to the jail and the work house for from two to six months, but he was always released before the expiration oi his sentence. It was the general feeling that a trial would only result in an insufficient sentence and this argument was so effectually used by the mob leaders that the negro was taken from the jail and lynched. Prompt Action Prevents Lynching. Carlinville, 111., March B.—Prompt legal action last night saved Paul Hananel, of Mount Olive, from lynching at the hands of a mob for probably fatally wounding his wife. Hananel shot at his wife three times, one bullet entering the head. Neighbors became angry on learning of the attempted uxorcide and planned to lynch Hananel. The police at once procured a preliminary hearing for Hananel before a justice of the peace, who held the prisoner to a grand jury without bail. The prisoner was at once taken to Litchfield jail and the angry mob learning that quick legal action was taking, dispersed. PROMISES A SENSATION Gov. Beckham Says He Has Something to Tell Committee. Frankfort, Ky., March 8. —Governor Beckham created a sensation when he appeared before the senate committee investigating the public printing. The committee has been holding secret sessions and the governor said that on behalf of himself, Auditor Hager and Secretary of State McChesney, he protested against being required to testify in star chamber session but would be glad to appear as a witness and testify at a meeting in public. He also said that he desired to give the committee the benefit of some things in connection with the investigation which had come to his ears. The committee voted to hold an open session for the purpose of hearing the governor and the other two witnesses. Their testimony promises to be sensational. False Prosecution Alleged. Rising Sun. Ind., March 8. —James Gillespie’s attorneys late yesterday filed a plea in abatement, claiming that the prisoner nas been made the victim of false prosecution. It was alleged that undue influence was used on the grand jury that indicted Gillespie and others for the murder of his sister. Judge Downey will give his decision in the matter today.

PETITION DENIED Court Was Asked to Bar Detective From James McDonald’s Cell. This Request Was Refused, the Court Holding That the Prisoner Was in the Sheriff’s Hands. Friends of McDonald Fear That He Is Making Damaging Admissions. Bloomington, Ind., March 8. —An effort to get Judge J. B. Wilson, of the Monroe-Lawrence circuit, to issue an order prohibiting Detective Reed, of the Pinkerton agency, from visiting James McDonald, the alleged murderer of Miss Schafer, in his cell, has failed. Judge Wilson rules that the prisoner is entirely under control of the sheriff, and it is not within the province of the probable trial-court to interfere. F. M. Vance presented the request, saying that the defense had reason to believe that the detective was trying to influence unduly the prisoner, and that the latter should be protected. Mr. Vance was persistent, and Judge Wilson finally answered that the only way in which the case could be considered was that it should be regularly filed, with testimony to be presented to sustain the petition. Mr. Vance declined to take this step. It is no secret that the attorneys for McDonald fear that the defendant has already made damaging admissions. McDonald continues in good spirits, talks freely with -other prisoners, and reports himself as ready for trial at any time. Visitors are permitted to see him at any time if they have business other than curiosity. Prosecutor Miller says that he expects an indictment from the grand jury against McDonald not later than Wednesday of the present week, and that he will ask for an immediate trial, the state being ready. Judge Wilson responds, however, that it will be impossible to call the case during the present term of court, as every day of the three remaining weeks is taken up with business which Involves many important civil cases. If McDonald is, therefore, tried in Lawrence county, his case will not be called before the May term, and if a change of venue is taken to this county it may go over until June.

INDIANA MINERS Annual Convention Opened Today at Terre Haute. Terre Haute, Ind., March 8. —The annual convention of the Indiana coal miners began here today. The meetings generally last several weeks and in them the miners frame up alleged grievances which they submit to a joint conference of the miners and operators for settlement. The affairs settled are generally of the greatest importance to the thousands of Indiana miners, but do not greatly concern the national body. This year, however, it is probable that the convention will be a brief one. As the operators and miners in their national conference have been unable to reach an agreement at Indianapolis, the state convention will not be able to take up state matters. They are always based on the general national agreement. The election of officers will take place soon after the convention is called to order. Sult to Enforce Dslivery of Packages. Wabash, Ind., March 8. —Frederick King has brought suit against the American Express company, alleging violation of the law requiring express companies to deliver packages received over their lines to consignees living within the corporate limits of towns and cities of more than 2.500 inhabitants.

CURES WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING Hyomei Cures Catarrh by Simple Breathing}. —The Holthouss Drug Co. Refund Money if it Fails to Cure. A long stride toward solving the mystery of curing catarrh was taken with the discovery of Hyomei. In faci, the percentage of cures by this treatment proves it equal to the final tests. The folly of taking medicine into the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat and lungs, has been realized by physicians, but not until Hyomei was known, had they a practical method that would obviate stomach drugging. A complete Hyomei outfit costs but sl, and consists of a neat pocket inhaler that can be used anywhere without attracting attention, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. Breathing Hyomei through the inhaler, every particle of air that enters the nose, throat and lungs, is charged with a healing balsam that soothes and allays all irritation, kills the catarrhal germs and enriches the blood with additional ozone. The Holthouse Drug Co. have so much faith in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh, that they are selling it under their personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not give positive relief.
