I told General Pellieux after the suicide of Colonel Henry it would be impossible to stop things, and that the movement would be formidable. The generals lost their heads. I wrote to M. Cavaignac a long letter acquainting him with the salient points of the affair. He refi.sed to see me. My ruin had been determined upon. I was thrown overboard and had nothing left but to go away and await developments.” Comte Ksterhazy proceeded to declare that he had vainly tried to convince Gen. Pellieux that the Henry document was a forgery, but that General Pellieux had declined to listen to him. “There were.” said Count Ksterhazy, “but three persons wno knew the tmth of the matter—Sandherr. Henry and myself. The first two are dead and I alone hold the secret.” Comte Ksterhazy complained bitterly of the treatment of himself and Madame Pays, who is in prison in Paris.

Du Paty de Clam. 1 may mention that I had already declined a pension offered by General Billot.” Comte Ksterhazy affected a gay nonchalance, but just as he was taking the train he said in a sharp, nervous tone, without pausing for breath: “I don't know whether I shall make use of the documents In my possession. It will depend upon the march of events.” CEHVERA AT SANTANDER. Arrival of the Admiral and His Sailors at a Home Port.

I, personally, have always favored autonomy for Cuba. Spain being unable to forcibly maintain her sovereignty at such a great distance.” Continuing, Senor Montero Rios said: “It is useless to speak of our disasters.

PLENTY OF NATURAL GAS IF ANY SHORTAGE THIS WINTER THE COMPANY IS TO BLAME. De Pauw University Opens with Better Prospect* than for Several Years—lndiana News. * Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. 21.—State Natural Supervisor J. C. Leach, of this city, says that the Indiana natural gas field begins the winter in excellent condition and that no shortage is expected. His constant personal examination of the gas territory leads him to believe that the supply is abundant and sufficient for all purposes, and that if the production be limited the cause can be found in local companies neglecting to keep their plants in good condition. Concerning the alleged continued waste of gas by the oil men Prof. Leach says: “There is no gas being wasted in Indiana at the present time, notwithstanding reports to the contrary. Every well in the State is closed tight and not a foot of the fuel is wasted. The oil operators are now tracking the law and we begin our twelfth -ear of natural gas with not an ounce of the fluid going to waste. Every u.t of it is utilized anu yields a revenue. In consequence of the enforced economy tnere will be no shortage of the supply this winter. There will be plenty for factory fuel and domestic uses. \Ye will have gas for several years yet if none be wasted and I am determined that there shall be no more waste. I go over the field regularly and personally examine every well, and where old and out-of-date appliances permit a leakage, they are replaced I!L ,th ”® w ° nes - The £ as companies all over the field have strengthened their plants by , f-F.teffincm of pipe lines and the drilling of additional wells and we start in the winter with sufficient gas to meet every requirement.” THE OPENING AT DE PAUW.

GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 21.—De Pauw University opened for the fall term this morning, and the new students will show an increase over the past few years. Woman’s hall Is well filled for this early. During the summer a set of rules governinging the conduct of the students, especially the young women, were drawn up. These are regarded by many of the young men as unnecessarily severe. The rules provide that the young women must not be out after 7 p. m. during the first and second terms, nor after 8 p. m. during third term without permission. Woman’s hall and chapter houses are to be closed at 9:30 p. m., except on evenings set aside for company. Men will he allowed to call on two evenings each week and stay not later than 10 o’clock.

In speaking of the work of the Northwest Indiana Conference he stated that the Methodists are coming forward handsomely. Two years ago they gave to De Pauw $323, last year $695, and this year they report, including some sustaining money, $3,225. There is a belief that they will give $5,000 next year. In a set of resolutions passed by the conference at their late session they agreed to take $150,000 of the $500,000 proposed by the state Methodists for a twentieth century gift to the endowment fund of the university and appointed a permanent committee of ten on education, together with the five presiding elders of the conference to co-operate with the vice chancellor in securing the sum of $150,000. The conference further resolved that a “sustaining fund” equal to 10 cents for each member of the churches is a necessity in order to keep the university out of debt and maintain a strong teaching force, and they recommended that the presiding elders apportion this sum according to their judgment. In football there Is much enthusiasm, but there is a lot of untried material among the candidates for places. Here, as in other institutions, there seems to he a falling back on the part of some of the older players. and some of them decline to enter the training. Capt.

STRAWBOARD MILLS, And the Injury They Do In Polluting; the Streams of the State. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The destruction of the fish in our streams is not the greatest or the most far-reaching calamity which is involved in the existence of strawboard mills in Indiana. The pollution of the water supply of our rivers and streams, by which they are rendered unfit not only for domestic animals but for all domestic uses will work incalculable and unending damage and inconvenience. It was brought out in the evidence when suit was instituted before Judge Stevenson in Howard county, in which the strawboard company, of Kokomo, was prosecuted formaintaining a nuisance, that the water in Wildcat creek was rendered unfit for stock: that animals had died from the effects of drinking it; that in the bayous and slackwater points along the creek where the sediment from the strawboard mill had settled to the bottom and was undergoing fermentation and decomposition in the hot sun of dog days, that the water, when disturbed, was of inky blackness and gave out a stench that rendered life a burden to the inhabitants of the valley, and that families living a mile or more north of the creek were compelled, when the wind was fr\an the south, to close their doors and windows on account of the unsufferable stench from the rotten deposit which in many places formed a funguslike mass of corruption more than a foot in depth. Professor Hurty’s evidence established the fart that one of the results of this decomposition was the generation of a noxious gas which united readily with the oxygen of the water by which the water became deoxygenized and would not support fish life, hence their death in great numbers. Substantial farmers living along Wildcat creek testified that the value of their farms had fallen off from $lO to sls per acre since the strawboard mill had been in operation. Those of my readers living on the banks of White river below Noblesville, as well as many citizens of Indianapolis, have not only had a smell hut a taste of the flavor of a strawboard cocktail from the Noblesville laboratory, which is just at this tinie not enjoying but undergoing an enforced rest from the soporific influence of an injunction from the United States Circuit Court at the suit of the Indianapolis Water Company. With .he polluted water and poisoned air two of the most Indispensable and important elements of human life as well as animal life are involved, and the State Board of Health will soon be confronted with the strawboard question. The American Strawboard Company is a gigantic monopoly with millions of capital and enormous profits, and will fight every inch of ground which threatens their existence. The managers are or seem to be ready and willing to adopt any suggestion to remedy the evil, and at Anderson Mr. Sweeney, commissioner of fisheries. has made a temporary compromise, the company agreeing to construct filters. No ma7i knows better than Mr. Williams, the manager at Anderson, that no system of filtering can he made effective, for the reason that if the pores of a filter are close enough to catch and retain the fine particles of straw which escape the screen at the mill they soon accumulate in such quantities as to clog the pores and choke the filtrationthe filter becomes a reservoir from which the water cannot escape, and it only becomes a settling pond from which the deposite has no escape. While Mr. Williams was superintendent of the mil) at Kokomo he constructed a filter, under mv instructions (as fish commissioner), which proved a dead failure for the reasons I have mentioned. A settling pond is simply a reservoir of corruption in which a larger amount of the material, subject to fermentation and decomposition, is accumulated, and in which these processes are not interfea-red with or in any way interrupted by frbshets or currents, and the poisonous work is more thoroughly and completely consummated than in a running stream. Tn case of the overflow or a break in the banks a readymade article of pollution of superior strength and pungency is turned into the stream, and that it must overflow is too plain to question. In the trial at Kokomo I endeavored to inform myself as to cause and effects, as It was the first case of wholesale fish poisoning in the State, and occurred the first summer of the existence of the strawboard mill on Wildcat. Since that occasion I have been thoroughly impressed with the great interests involved and have given a great deal of though and study towards a practical remedy, hut am compelled to give it up: there does not seem to be any. The American Strawboard Company is one of the wealthiest corporations in the couYitry, and it is no idle boast that they are not afraid of any state court. With their enormous profits and great wealth they expect. with plenty of money and lawyers who know how to use it, to go on polluting the water and poisoning the air and killing the fish as long as it pa vs and snap their fingers at any effort on the part of the State or its citizens to stop them. But they met their match and faced the music when the Indianapolis Water Company brought, suit in the United States Circuit Court of Indiana for polluting the water in White river by their mill at Noblesville: and here lies the only safeguard and remedy which we possess against this arrogant monopoly in a struggle which will result In the survival of the fittest—a struggle in whlc-h it is hoped that God’s precious gift of pure water and pure air will not be sacrificed to the cupidity of the American Strawboard Company.

The transport brought sick and convalescent soldiers from hospitals at Siboney. The hoarding officer, Dr. Jdagruder, had been ordered back to Washington In the absence of the anticipation of the receipt of any more yellow fever cases. Gen. Wheeler decided to send one of the camp surgeons to inspect the Seguranca and to arrange for the removal of the sick to the detention hospital, which will now have to be reopened. The yellow fever patient on board the Seguranca is isolated and will be kept on the vessel for the present. The Seguranca brought forty men who were not able to care for themselves and thirty-five convalescents. All these men will be transferred to the detention camp. The City of Mexico also arrived at the camp to-day with Troop M. of the Tenth Regular Cavalry, which was left behind in Cuba to care for the belongings of the regiment.

Burton Metcalf, died recently in San Francisco of typhoid pneumonia, contracted while at Camp Merritt as a member of the United States regulars, will take steps to have charges preferred against General Otis, now with the American forces in tha Philippines. Mr. Metcalf said to-day: “I am a member of an organization male up of people all over the country who have lost relatives or friends who had enlisted in the regular army for service in the Philippines. These men died through exposure on that pestilential spot known as Camp Merritt. Each member of this orgenization will bring pressure to bear on his congressman to have charges preferred against General Otis, who located the camp wh “re it wes. The organization is a large and influential one, and I believe it will be able to accomplish the object for which it was formed.” Mr. Metcalf recently returned from San Francisco, where he went to bring home the remains of his son. He states that he investigated the conditions at Camp Merritt and that a more unhealthful spot for a camp could not have been found on the Pacific coast. Artilleryman Dead.

AX UGLY RUMOR IX CAMP. Said to Be Y'ellow Fever in Division Hospital at Lexington. Correspondence of the Journal. LEXINGTON. Ky., in camp with the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana, Sept, 19. There Is a rumor, startling in nature, that a Mississippi man, a member of the Third Volunteers, has yellow fever at division hospital. Forty-six members of that regiment are already in quarantine. There is no danger, so say the authorities, of a spread of the terrible scourge. The story is not generally believed, but it is said to have been given out inadvertently by a surgeon. General Breckinridge’s imposing person was on parade to-day before the division. Colonel Gunder was in command of the First Brigade of the Third Division. The Indiana regiment had many more men in line than any other organization. There are regiments in the camp with less than four hunl*.red J? en or du, y- The One-hundred-and-sixtieth reports over 1,000 able for service. Ihe band of the gas belt organization was the best on the review. xMany admiring comments were made as the companies swung by, and the people marveled at the height and bearing of the men who handled the £ uns :v., lhere was a strlct inspection of quarters this morning and the red flag of General Sanger was carried everywhere. To-morrow comes the big event, wnen Secretary Alger will review the troops. The men are resolved to make a good showing in the presence ot the secretary of war. In this camp the first chloride of lime drawn by this regiment is in use. There is a pond now dried up, at the head of the regiment, where a green scum stood upon stagnant water. Lime takes the place of the slime of malaria. Typhoid fever is feared more than any other trouble. Whitewash is lavishly used. New tents are being issued to the regiment. The raghouses used by the One-hundred-and-sixtieth were turnedl in to Uncle Sam with the organization. They were not then in good condition and a large number of them are almost worthless as shelter. The men are glad to learn ot the coming of new tents. Captain Lenhart, of Company B, is in temporary command of the second battalion Sevend members of Company I are out without leave. Private Palmer, of Company E. is missing. He was a provost guard on duty at the city. and. it is claimed decamped. He will be returned to the regiment. The court of Inquiry In the case of Capt. 1 nomas R. Marks, of Company C, still holds daily sessions and will not finish its work tor at least ten days. To-day Captain Marks, who is a law student who took up his sword after a winter at Ann Arbor, spoke in his own be half. A baseball team is being organized.

MURDEIT IN ALASKA. . George Bowman Allreed to Have Been Slain by Hitt (oiupaniou. SEATTLE. \\ ash.. Sept. 21.—George Bowman, of Bridgeport, Conn., was murdered last winter during a terrible snowstorm by a companion named Johnson, of Springfield, Mass. He was almost in sight of the golden Mecca when his strength failed him and he sank down in the soft snow. Johnson, who was the leader of the party, went back to him. and with an oath, blew out the unfortunate man's brains with a revolver. This Is the terrible story that is told for the first time by J. B. Sachs, who has just returned from Alaska. His partner. E. T. Calhoun, of Yonkers, N. Y., witnessed the terrible deed, which was committed near their cabin, a short distance from Dawson. Calhoun, too, nearly lost his life from a bullet from Johnson’s revolver. Nothing was ever heard of Johnson. It is presumed he perished in the snowstorm while trying to escape. Surgeon* and \ur*e.

During the past thirty years it has been demonstrated that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will cure q 8 per cent of all cases of consumption, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease before the lungs are too much wasted, also bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis and all diseases of all the air-passages. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities'and disease germs. It soothes the cough, facilitates expectoration, thus thoroughly clearing the lungs. It purifies and enriches the blood and tears down, carries off and excretes old, inert, half-dead tissues, replacing them with the new, firm, muscular tissues of health. It is the great appetite sharpener, blood - maker, flesh - builder, nerve-tonic and restorative. Thousands who had been given up to die have been restored to complete, robust health by this marvelous medicine. Do not buy from unscrupulous dealers who try to force upon you something beside what you ask for. There is nothing to take the place of it, or, which is “just as good ” as ‘'Golden Medical Discovery.” “ I had the grip, which !eft me feeling miserable—no strength and a cough,” writes Mrs. C. Maynard, of East Lyme, New London Cos., Coun. " As some of ray family died with consumption, I was frightened. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
