JUJHJE THOMPSON discharged Fulton Gordon at Louisville last week who was before the Court charged with killing his wife aud her paramour, Archie D. Brown son of Gov. Young Brown, of Kentucky, with the following closing remark: "I discharge Mr. Gordon that it may be a warning to other adulterers."

Since the electric bells for danger signals have proven a failure for the Big 'Four here, it is announced that the Ninth street ball is to stay, but it is to be operated on the order of ringing a dinner bell. A wire is to be run from the Ninth street bell to the eighth street flagman's post and when he sees a train comiug he is to wave the white Hag with one hand and pull the wire with the other.

At the junction of the Big Four aud Pan Handle roads, where a watch tower and interlocking switches and signals are to be put in, the watchman will be required to operate the wires for the electric bells at the crossing of the Big Four and Pan Handle at Columbus and Ohio avenues.—Anderson Bulletin.

The Council will no doubt see that our people are properly protected at the crossngs. The electric signal bell is a dead failure as can be proven by any one who will watch its operation for a short time.

When a fast train comes along there is not time for a loaded wagon to pass over the crossing from, the time the electric beli begins ringing until the train reaches the spot. Yesterday it was just eleven seconds from the time the alarm bell began to ring until the fast train went thundering by. That would not have done a thing to a man and team starting across as the bell began to ring and when it was too late to stop except knock them into kingdom come in jilfy. Our people are not so anxious to "pass on," so let them be properly protected.

A new suit was immediately filed with the same charges against the defendent as was in the first suit. The reason for the dismissal is that the law requires a separation between the parties before the suit is brought. This was not the case in the above named suit, hence the dismissal. The new suit will come tip about the 21st of this month. The plautiff will ask a change of venue from the county as the claim is made that the prejudice is too strong here in favor of the defendent.

Dear Sir: I want to say to you that I believe you have the br it Kidney and Liver cure on earth. I was troubled for 16 years with Kidney aud Liver disease, was unable to work a great deal of my time on account of chronic diarrhoea. I had tried several good physicians aud could get no cure. About Jan. 19th, 1895, I was induced by your agent, Mr. T. D. Cotton to buy your Acme Kidney and Liver cure and after using the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I continued the use and find myself entirely cured. In fact have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bladder trouble of which I was also a sufferer and at present believe I am entirely cured. I can heartily recommend your Acme Kidney and Liver Cure to like sufferers. Yours Truly.

Deafness Cannot He Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only OLe way to cure deafness, imd that is by constitutional "remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, aud when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be takeu out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Dir. Moores Thinks New County Super

intendents' Law Constitutional.

Assistant Attorney-general Moores believes that the law changing the time of electing county superintendents is constitutional. A score or more of inquiries have been received at the Attorney-gener-al's office, and all have been referred to Mr. Moores. He has looked up the law on the subject, and found that the Supreme Court has decided that where the purpose of the Legislature is stated in the title the act is valid, although some technical mistake may have been made in the bill. Mr. Moores says the county superintendents' bill was carelessly drawn. The Legislature amended Section 33, disregarding another amendment made in 1873. He says the Legislature stated its intention in the title of the bill, and that is sufficient. He advises those county trustees who are in doubt whether to meet in June or September to meet in the latter month and obey the new law. Those Democratic trustees who meet in June and elect county superindents, he says, will act contrary to the law.—Indianapolis Journal.

The law may lead to some complication, as some Democrats may seek to be elected and hold over, contrary to the new law. Such a move will not be popular with the people, however, as they believe when a set of men are knocked out at the polls and elected to stay at home that that Is what they should do.

RACE TRACK RAIDED

Twenty-Nine Arrests Made at Hawthorne.

COLD DAY FOR THE SPORTS.

The Prisoners Hustled OU" to Chicago and Taken Uefore Superior Court Judge

Eiviiigr, Who Admits Tliem to Bail in the Sum of Three Hundred Dollars Kach.

Trial Next Tuesday.

HAWTHORNE, Ills., May 11.—It was a sold day for the sports at the race track yesterday. Chicago and Cook county have for some time been struggling with a hot wave, but tlie owners and patrons of the Hawthorne track found it cool enough for tliem yesterday afternoon when 150 big deputy sheriffs inarched into the track and declared that Hawthorne was running a game prejudicial to good morals, the laws and the peace of the community.

Having declared themselves, the deputies proceeded to gather in Edward Corrigan, the master of Hawthorne, and John Brninock, his business partner, Joseph i'. Ullman, the proprietor of the foreign book, and .2(J smaller fry. The prisoners were hustled oil' to the city and brought before Judire Ewing of the superior court, who, after a short discussion with the attorneys for the prisoners and for the Civic Federation which planned the raid, admitted the prisoners to bail in the sum of !?30U each.

One of the prisoners, jr.st as he left the courtroom, declared that he had been "pinched" just as he was about to cash a winning ticket and there was a craning of necks to see the man who had "beaten the game at Hawthorne," evyn though it profited him nothing but glory.

The officials of tlie Civic Federation have determined that there shall be no racing contrary to law in Cook county this year, and they declare that they will repeat the raids as often as the management care to open up. Heretofore the work of suppressing the racing lias been the province of the federation's committee on morals, but since the election, no new committees have been appointed, and the former lapsed with the outgoing administration. The gambling evil at the race tracks became, so offensive that President Baker of the federation resolved to begin warfare on them without waiting for the intervention of a committee on morals. He consulted with a number of the prominent members of the federation, and all of them approved and indorse! his plans aud promised him their support.

It was decided to swear out the warrants before a judge ul a court of record, as it was known that the Hawthorne people b'pt a justice of the peace at the race track and were prepared to give ball on tin spot when arrests were made on warrants issued by another justice. Wai rants were accordingly taken o.:i before Judge Ewing yesterday morning, given to the sheriff at noon, and two hours later a small army of deputies was headed toward the track, carrying warrants returnable in Judge Ewing's court at 4 o'clock.

Humors of the intended raid had got abroad, however, and when the army of the law approached the track there was great confusion and excitement at the track. The bookmakers were promptly given the alarm, and at once began to hustle their blackboards out of sight. When the deputies inarched in not a blackboard was to be seen, aud the bookmakers were standing around trying to look innocent, a large contract for any bookmaker to pick up.

There was no confusion at the foreign book, however. Joe Ullman controls it and he had been arrested in a raid last •year. He had an idea that ligtning never struck twice in the same place, and he was making bets on nice, good races on other tracks, and not on the wicked events at Hawthorne. Therefore, wrapped in his innocence, confident of his ability to locate the spot where the bolt would strike, he made no effort to hide his blackboard, or what would have served him better, his person, and he was badly fooled. The lightning hit him fair and square. A deputy, who had an idea that Hawthorne races were no more immoral than those on other tracks, promptly rounded Mr. Ullman uj), much ti that gentleman's disgust and wrath, for his book was $2,000 behind on the day, and he wanted to make it up. Other men connected with the foreign book, seeing the miserable failure of Ullman's lightning rod, made a wild break for liberty, but the officers secured as many of them as they cared for.

The formal hearing of the prisoners will be next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. President Baker was prompted to vigorous action in the matter, it is said, by the icderation people, by the audacity of tlie track managers in ignoring the law as entirely as if it did not exist. That betting at race tracks is a violation of the state law is not questioned, So well wore the racing crowds satisfied that their enterprises wore illegal that they caused to be introduced in the legislature the Humphrey racing bill, legalizing racing iu the state under certain conditions.

This bill has not yet become a law, but the race track people did not wait for the general assembly to act on their bill. They made exclusive preparations for the all summer racing meeting, and the two associations arranged to divide the time, so that both would have equal chances at the public.

Presidoiifc Baker watched this performance till he thought it time to use the Civic Federation's influence to compel respect for the law, and then he acted.

The outcome will be watched with ininterest.
