John Grigsby,” in which he comes to English’s Monday and Tuesday nights, is said to contain another of those simple, old-fashion love stories for which Russell s delightful comedy method is admirably adapted.

Says They Told a “Sober Truth.” One day, perhaps a year ago. my husband, who is a physician, handed me a package of Postum Food Coffee, and requested that I make a very careful test of it. Realizing, the importance, I gave it my especial attention in preparation, and when It was served it exceeded our expectations. It came to the. table steaming with a delicious aroma, and the first taste convinced me that I had found the long-sought beverage. We had some experience with various socalled “substitutes” for cofTee, only to find them worthless—mixtures of cheap coffee and other things that we oouid not use in our own family, and, of course, the doctor didn’t care to have his patients use them, but with Postum it is different. J oeoaslonally hear of Postum being served weak and flat, but that never occurs when time enough is allowed in boiling to bring out the flavor. Doctor now tells me that he takes pleasure in prescribing Postum to many of his patients who have found that coffee acts Injuriously, causing nervousness, headaches ar.d deranged digestion. These symptoms, he says, in a still more aggravated form, effect thousands of tea drinkers who would gain immeasurably in health and happiness If they would banish that seductive herb front the supper table and replace it with Postum Food Coffee. When we first began to use Postum we indulged in some merriment at the red seal on the package, and the statement that "It Makes Red Blood.” It was not long, how-* ever, before we learned that it was a sober truth. My family remarked the growing color In m> 1 race. My weight steadily Increased, to such a degree that 1 was forced to ascribe the change to the use of Postum, and my entire family have now become addicted to the boverage. \ MRS DR. D. P. BROCK WAY.

The house is in a part of town somewhat remote from the other eases. It is on a street between Senate and Capitol avenues, north of North street. The sanitary officers vaccinated twentynine out of the sixty-three inmates of the quarantined Franklin House yesterday. All the others refused to permit the officers to vaccinate them, and under the law the Board of Health could not compel the people to submit. Sullivan County Bnitill|io.\, Dr. J. N.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1899.

THE STORY WATT TOLD SEt El! .VI, WITNESSES SAY HE SPOKE OF PARK CORRUPTION FI ND. \\ lint Wntt Said the Cooper* Told Him in Hegnrii to Lund Deni. o Last night statements that William H. Watt had made to various persons concerning the sale of Ills land to the city for park purposes and a fund to which he was compelled to contribute SSOO, were related to the Council committee on investigation and impeachment by R. O. Hawkins, Horace E. Smith and Charles Dennis, in brief, the witnesses testified that Watt had told them that Charles M. and John J. Cooper, one or both, had told him a corruption fund had to be raised in order to have the parks located. According to the story Watt told the witnesses, as they' related it last night, the Coopers had told him they were compelled to pay $11,000; Hiram W. Miller, $13,000, and August Wacher, $2,000, which, with the SSOO he had himself paid, constituted the fund of $27,600, concerning which there were many rumors heard last fall, and which were published in the local papers at the time. When Mr. Watt was on the witness stand last Friday afternoon he swore that he had paid SIOO to Charles M. Cooper and S2O to Controller Johnson for taxes, and that these were the only amounts he had paid. When asked if he had made various statements to witnesses who testified last night, Mr. Watt answered that he could not remember ever having had any such conversations; that if he did have them he was talking "in fun,” or "just a talking.” After the evidence was heard last .night the three members of the committee said they w r ere satisfied beyond a doubt that Watt had told the stories attributed to him, and that he was either falsifying when talking to the witnesses or else had perjured hirnself on the witness stund. Indeed, Mr. Costello questioned witnesses very' closely as to what they knew of his reputation for veracity and truth and whether they thought he would rather "lie to them or perjure himself to the committee.” All of them questioned on this point said they had always understood him to be a reliable man who would tell the truth whether in private conversation or under oath upon the witness stand. The investigation was not completed last night, Mr. Alien was rot opposed in his wish to have Mr. Watt recalled, and this will be done at the meeting next Wednesday' night, when an effort will also he made to have H. Waddell recalled. In addition, the committee desires to question Isaac Pugh. Mr. Watt’s son-in-law, who was out of town yesterday, according to the return made on the summons that was issued for him. Witnesses win also he called to tell what they know concerning the purchase of the entrance way to Garfield Park, which was bought from C. F. H. Bals, who died a few days after the city paid $7,000 for a tract of his land. Mr. Allen said last night there is a report that when Mr. Bals died S7OO of this sum eoud not be accounted for, and it was said to have gone into some alleged fund. Mr. Bals’s son will be called. Mr. Allen said last night that If Mr. Watt was lying when he told of the transactions referred to in his case it was only just to Charles M. Cooper and the others whose names were mentioned to have that fact clearly demonstrated, and he was in favor of having the money paid Mr. Watt traced from the time it went into his hands until It was disposed of in bank or otherwise. Mr. Hawkins testified that the story told to him by' Mr. Watt, the substance of which is narrated above, was told to him at his office some time late in September or early in October, last year, and this was corroborated by' Horace E. Smith, Mr. Hawkins’s law partner. Charles Dennis, a reporter of the News, testified that Watt had told him the same story. All of the witnesses said that Watt had told them that he would testify to the truth of the story told them if called upon to do so under oath. Charles W. Bridges said that he had no personal knowledge of any fund having been raised. Mr. Waddell had told him of a conversation with Watt, who said he paid Cooper SSOO and said all who sold land were required to pay a per cent, to the city— Cooper paying SIO,OOO and Miller SIO,OOO or $12,1W0. "All I know." said Mr. Bridges, “I heard from Mr. Waddell.” The other witnesses were F. L. Purdy, editor of the Sun, and Harry S. New, editor of the Journal. Mr. Purdy had no personal knowledge of publications that were made in his paper. Mr. New said that what information he had was obtained from Mr. Hawkins and from Isaac Pugh.

0. H. HASSELMAN ASSIGNS. D. M. Kunsdfll In ('linrwe of Ills Printing Business. Otto H. Hasselman yesterday made an assignment to Daniel M. Ransdell for the benefit of creditors. Two deeds of assignment were filed. One includes the Journal Job Printing Company and the other the Hasselman Printing Company. Both establishments are maintained under one roof at Nos. 222 and 228 West Maryland street. Mr. Hasselman is the owner of the Journal Job Printing Company and is president of the Hasselman Printing Company. All of the mechanical appliances, as well as the stock on hand and the office fixtures of the two establishments, are turned over to the assignee, together with the personal property of Mr. Hasselman. This includes his household effects at No. 1121 North Alabama street. The schedule of assets tncluues 1,42t> shares in the Hasselman Printing company. It is said that tne obligations ot the journal Job Printing Company will aggregate about $ll,OO. Tnose of tne Hasselman printing Company are m excess ot this amount. It is stated tnat the assets of each company will run from $15,000 to $25,000. D. M. Rarisdell yesterday gave an aggregate bond of sw,ow as assignee for both establishments. The American Surety Company Is on his bond. This morning a petition will be tiled by the assignee with Probate Commissioner Walker, asking permission to borrow' S3OO. This amount will be applied on the wages due. The money will be borrowed for sixty days, and at the end of tliis period it is expected that the business of the two establishments can be again turned over to Mr. Hasselman. The assignments were made without preference, although it Is said that a great portion of the indebtedness of both concerns is due to Mr. Hasseinuin’s immediate friends and relatives. As is known to many, Mr. Hasselman has been quite an invalid for three years, and during the last year he has been able to give scarcely any attention to business. THE CYNICAL HOSTLER Remains In Limbo. While the Man He Pounded Is Released. Frank Blaine stood before Turnkey Dong at the police station last night with his face bandaged and said he was foreman at the Grand Hotel livery stable. Harry Fisher stood beside him and said he was a hostler in another livery stable. ‘'But I ain’t no foreman," he added, with a wicked grin at Blaine, whose face he had pounded severely a short time before. Both were arrested on the charge of assault and battery by Bicycle Patrolmen Schroeder and Hauser. They had quarreled and Fisher had fought, because Blaine would not let Fisher use the telephone. As befitted the dignity attaching to a foreman Blaine was released on the promise of his employer to see that he was in court this morning, but Fisher, the cynical hostler, continued to languish. THE ARMY BILL. (Con eludel from First Page.) expense of the transportation being borne by the government. Bodies not claimed by relatives will be given honorable military Interment at Arlington. The bodies will be brought to the United States in sealed caskets to prevent danger of infection, and the work will be accomplished during cold weather, when danger of infection is at a minimum. * * • Commissioner Powderly, of the Immigration Bureau of the Treasury Department, was before the industrial commission today. He referred to the evil effects which had followed the importation of cheap labor from Europe by the Pennsylvania mine operators in 1860 with a view to overcoming an obstinate strike, so that to-day there are nt least three men in the coal regions awaiting each place. The imported laborers failed

to assimilate with the Americans and took the wealth of the country' out of It in great amounts. Mr, Powderly said the padrone system still existed throughout the region and the alien contract labor law was being constantly evaded. H* referred to the Influence of the steamship lobby in defeating bills for the restriction of immigration. The Hungarian Jews were not esteemed by him a particularly valuable community of settlers. most of them being assisted emigrants. He had advised for the better policing of the Canadian and Mexican line against surreptitious immigrants, that the head tax be increased from $1 to $2. Another way of preventing the invasion of the country at the border line was to make a thorough medical examination of all who came over. From what he said it was evident Mr. Powderly was not in sympathy with the Lodge restriction immigration, as he believed that the educational test required by it would not exclude Chinese, Japanese, Russian Jews, or even Italians, because the latest reports from Italy' were that the younger people were beginning to read and write. He l>elieved the extension of the steamship companies’ guarantee to return anv undesirable person within a year to h five-year limit would discourage the importation of a class of people that can do nothing but harm to the country'. * * • Indirect, hut apparently authentic information, was received to-day by the Massachusetts members in Congress that Representative Barrows, of Massachusetts, had been offered the post of librarian of Congress, and had accepted. * * * Mr. Pierce. United States charge at St. Petersburg, this afternoon cabled the State Department that the conference proposed by’ the Czar, looking to a disarmament of the nations, will be held at The Hague. HOMAGE TO THE DEAD CUBANS AND AMERIC ANS VIEW THE REMAINS OF GEN. GARCIA. Funeral of the rntriot to Take I’lace To-Day—Gomez Dae ut Havana Early Next Week. HAVANA. Feb. 10.— About three hundred wreaths and floral emblems from individuals and societies have been piled at the foot of the bier of Gen. Calixto Garcia, whose body arrived here from the United States yesterday' afternoon on the United States gunboat Nashville. The body lies in the municipal council chamber of the palace and crowds continue to silently file past the coffin. The remains will lie in state until the interment, which will take) place at l o’clock to-morrow afternoon. All day long Havana has paid silent homage to the dead warrior. Young women and children of the best families, gray haired ladies, laborers and negresses have visited the council chamber, passed the guard of Cuban and American soldiers, looked upon the face of the dead and quietly moved away. Many carried flowers, which were deposited at the foot of the bier. The streets around the palace have been crowded with soldiery and the honors paid by the American authorities have greatly pleased the Cubans. Governor General Brooke and staff will attend the interment to-morrow and the review of the Seventh Army Corps wdll be postponed. The Cuban troops guarding the streets near the palace are objects of much curiosity to passers by. United States Senator Redfield Proctor returned this afternoon from Matanzas, whither he had gone to exchange expressions with Gen. Maximo Gomez. He did not find the Cuban commander-in-chief, but learned that Gomez was expected to arrive at Santa Clara this evening, at Cardenas to-morrow, at Matanzas on Sunday and probably on Monday or Tuesday at Havana. Brigadier General Davis, who has been relieved of his duties as governor of the military department of Dinar del Rio and ordered to report to Washington to serve on the court of inquiry for the Investigation of charges by General Miles regarding the character of the beef furnished to the American troops in the war with Spain, arrived here this evening and will sail tomorrow for Tampa. MaJ. William 1.. Kneedler, surgeon of the First Brigade, Second Army Corps, wired this morning from Guanajay’, province of Dinar del Rio, to Chief Surgeon Lieut. Col. O’Reilly' that there had been one death from yellow fever among the members of tl e TWo-hundred-and-second New York Regiment, but that no new eases had developed. This afternoon a dispatch was received from Major Kneedler saying that the autopsy showed that the cause ot‘ death was not yellow' fever but pernicious malarial fever, and that it was really doubtful whether there is any ease of yellow fever .in the regiment. Nevertheless, the camp will he moved. Dr. O'Reilly says the case In the Eighteenth Regular Infantry, which was first supposed to be yellow fever, Is undoubtedly malarial, and that with the exception of the five possible eases at Guanajay' there is not a case of yellow fever among the American troops in the Island. Private J. Grotty, Battery I, Second Regular Artillery, last night killed a comrade at Castillo del Principe, in the suburbs of Havana. He was immediately placed uncier arrest. Applicants for rations here have been examined in many cases by army representatives who are ignorant of the language of the people. Misrepresentations and abuses have resulted. People have been receiving food who have been at work and who are able to work. Anew system consequently was started by MOyor Lacoste, who is appointing citizens to examine the applications and claims who will write the orders for relief, which the army will fill. The citizens, it is asserted,, are much better able to determine the merits of such cases. General Ludlow yesterday awarded a contract to A. E. Woolf to manufacture and supply patent disinfectants for Havana. A plant is to be established immediately' to supply 50,000 gallons of the disinfectant every twelve hours, the work to be completed early in March. The disinfectant will be used to sprinkle the streets, flush the cess pools, scrub houses and keep up a continual flow in the sewers.

Colored (Tibnim Want a Share. SANTIAGO I>E CUBA, Feb. 10,-The Cuban General Quintin Bandera, who is a colored man, left tor Havana to-day to see that his troops get their due share of the $3,000,000 which the United States government has offered to pay over to the Cuban commanders on condition that the army disbands. He believes, he says, that there will be a disposition to keep the colored insurgents out of their rights, and as they did most of the fighting he will urge that in return for their arduous services they should receive prior consideration. STEAMER DISABLED. Tlit' Colorado Forced to Abandon tlic Pnvonin in a Hurricane. DONDON Feb. 10,-The Cunard Steamship Company has received the following dispatch from Captain Whitton, of the British steamer Colorado, of the Wilson line, dated at Fayal, Azores islands: "Pavonla, Feb. 5. latitude 41. longitude 44, disabled. Something wrong with boilers. Tried to tow her. Hawser broke. Lost sight of her in a hurricane.” FAYA L, Azores Islands. Feb. 10.—The steamer Colorado, from New York, Jan. 28, for Hull, has arrived here and reports having passed the British steamer Pavonia, Captain Atkins, of the Cunard line, from Liverpool on Jan. 24, via Queenstown Jan. 25, for Boston, in a disa* ed condition about 300 miles from here.

The accompanying comment that Dr. Hale la a prominent 16-to-l Democrat is said to be equally unfounded.

LEAGUE CLUBS ON HAND PREI.IMINARY ’MEETING OF ANNUAL CONVENTION AT FORT YVAYNE. . Brief Session in n < old-Storage Hull, After Which the Visitors Loosened l |> at the Ilnntnet. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Iml., Feb. 10,-The preliminary meeting: of the Indiana league of Republican Clubs in state convention, was held in Turner’s Hall to-night. A. R. Walter, of Fort Wayne, presided. Delegates had been delayed in arrival by the delayed trains reaching the city and the majority of the audience that listened to the address of welcome delivered by Dr. <\ B. Steman, of Fort Wayne, came from Allen county. To this address response was made by F. E. Holloway, of Anderson, and by this time the Indianapolis delegation and other delegations had reached the hall. John D. Griffiths, of Indianapolis, was called from the audience and made his address extremely brief because, as he said, the hall was so cold he did not want to reduce the population ot Fort Wayne by detaining the audience. He •spoke of the triumph for patriotism and judgment that had put the country in readiness to conduct successful warfare on such short notice. It was a glorious thing, he said, that two Spanish armies should have been forced to surrender, two Spanish navies sunk and Spain forced to sue for peace before she had won a battle, sunk a ship or captured a flag. It made the flag mean more to us and to all nations. "How the heart of Lincoln would have glowed to observe the extension of our sway over alien peoples, he who took up the black man’s burden.” We have always been expansionists, he declared, citing the growth of the United States from the thirteen original, discordant States to its present unity and strength. Mr. Griffiths’s address was followed by one from Gen. J. S. Dodge, of Elkhart. After a brief talk from Senator O. Z Hubble, of Elkhart, the meeting was closed and the delegates went to the banquet room. The banquet, an innovation at the state convention was served for two hundred delegates at the Randall, the service beginning at 10 o’clock. Hon. Robert S. Tayloi*, ot Fort Wayne, was escorted to the toastmaster's seat amid applause. He Introduced John L. Griffiths, whose discussion of ‘'The Day Wo Celebrate” toid of the trials and triumphs of Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday the Lincoln League had chosen for its meeting. The Linden Quartet, a Republican glee club, composed of Frank Trio.et, L. F. Curdes, A. G. Keegan and Frank 'Stouder, contributed several selections during the evening. W. L. Taylor, of Indianapolis, spoke of the league and its work. “Campaign Experiences of '96 and '9B, Both Humorous and Instructive.” were related by James S. Dodge, of Elkhart. Senator Gilbert, a captain in the One-hundred-and-flfty-seventh Indiana Volunteers, told of the experiences of the volunteer soldier. The praises of "Our New Senator” were sung by R. B. Hanna. Frank B. Posey, of Evansville, was given the subject, "Down in the Pocket,” while A. M. Higgins, of Terre Haute, responded to "On the Banks of the Wabash.” H. C. Hanna told of his home city, “Fort Wayne.” "The Power of the Press” was assigned to J. B. Gordon, of Richmond. C. S. Bash and E. F. Yarnelle, both of Fort Wayne, followed, respectively, with ”Our Commercial Interests” and “The Merchant in Politics.” President Mansfield, of the college clubs, of Indiana Law School, spoke of “The Student In Politics.” These were all of the twenty-five pe liters on the programme who were present to respond to the toasts assigned them. The headquarters of the league at the Wayne, both before and after the banquet, presented the appearance familiar to those who frequented the Denison at Indianapolis during the recent senatorial contest. J. A. Shunk and J. W. Egnew. who are avowed candidates for the chairmanship of the league, have opened headquarters. frequented by crowds as interested as those that gathered In the headquarters of the senatorial candidates. Senator Gilbert has the support of many Indianapolis delegates, but has not yet opened his headquarters. Tin regular meeting of the association will be held at 9 o’clock Saturday morning in Turner’s Hall. The largest delegations present are from Anderson and New Albany, and badges booming these cities for the convention in 1900 are conspicuous. Lafayette and Indianapolis come next in the number of delegates at the session. The party from Indianapolis which came Friday evening, taken in charge by Charles R. Line, comprised R. A. Brown, W. H. Hart, Charles F. Remy, W. L. Taylor, John W T ingate, T. H. Johnson, A. M. Higgins, Leo Rothschilds, N. W. Gilbert, W. A. Guthrie, Frank B. Posey. Frank Wayman, W. B. Montgomery, J. W. Hinkle, John W. Baker, A. A. Young. Harmon L. Huston, G. A. Osborne. E. K. Dorr. George H. Loesch and Will Zoering. John L. Griffiths and others from Indianapolis arrived earlier in the day. The Tippecanoe Club will keep open house Saturday to entertain the delegates.
