Ex-Rough Rider, Wed But few Days, Meets Lots Of Trouble.

FORMAL CHARGES PLACED. PARTY OF AUSTRO-HUNGARI ANS SAY THEY WERE HELD BY A GUARD HOUSE SYSTEM USED BY COMPANY. New Orleans, Dec. 9. Troubles are piling up here for John Avery Mclllonny, former rough rider, civil service commissioner by favor of President Roosevelt, his bosom friend, millionaire oyster packer and sauce manufacturer and finally bridegroom of only a few days. The Mcllhenny Canning company has had two charges of peonage laid against it since John A. led to the altar on Saturday last, Miss Louise Stauffer, noted belle of the southern metropolis. The annoyance Is doubly inopportune for Mr. Mcllhenny, since he Is not only on his honeymoon tour, but he and his bride are to be entertained tomorrow night at dinner at the white house. Asserting that they were virtually held In slavery by their employers and that their liberty was restrained through the maintenance of a regular police and guard-house system. Another party of Austro-TIungarian immigrants reached here today and joined with the sixteen who arrived yesterday In making formal charges of peonage against the Mcllhenny Canning Company, because of their treatment on Avery Island, La., where the oyster and tabasco sauce industries of the Mcllhenny's are situated. Commissioner Jozca says that labor agents in the north deceived the foreigners into the belief that they would receive good wages. The peonage violation is said to re.st on the action o? guards, who, as alleged, prevented the Immigrants from leaving Avery. Many of the immigrants are women and children. There are two little tots not. three months old who are all but dead from lack of care and nourishment. Appendicitis. How To Avoid it and Escape a Surgical Operation, Told By One Who Knows.

Even now. with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, why we find it, where it Is, or what are its functions, if it has any. The disease for which the operation Is a cure is usually caused by indigestion, and in many cases follows a large and indigestible meal. Physicians have until recently recommended an operation, but now, lis it is known that it is caused by indigestion, or dyspepsia, a cure without nn operation is assure!. Where the patient is treated with Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the unhealthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and intestines lire placed back in their normal condition, every organ of the body operates as It should., and the inflammation is reduced and the operation is avoided. Conscientious physicians, who are loofcing after the best interests of their paUents, will always keep a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy' In their office, where in cases of sudden attacks of Indigestion they tan relieve the patient at once. There Is no record of a case of appendicitis where the stomach and trowels were in a healthy condition und properly digested the food from tneal to meal. No better advice can be given to any one who has attacks of indigestion, or who has been threatened with nppendicitis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 50 cents, and take liome a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach or bowels, heart disease or stomach troubles, sour eructions, acidity or fermentation are present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and get relief as soon as nssib!e. At all druggists r0 coins. Send us your name and address today and we will at onoe send you by mail a sample package free. Address F. A.

SO SAYS A DEMOCRAT. La Porte, lnd., Dec. 9. "Bryan and victory" was the battle pry raised Saturday night by 250 Northern Indiana democrats who gathered here to banquet with the democratic editors of the Tenth district. Every mention of the Nebraskan's name was received with applause. Party harmony was the key note of the meeting. Please to "get together" came from every speaker on the program and every utterance along this line was applauded. Senator L. E. Slack, of Franklin, who is a candidate for the democratic j gubernatorial nomination, made a hit j when he said: "We have been fighting among ourselves long enough. Let's use on the republicans the hat chets we have been using on fellow democrats for so long." Other speakers followed on the same line. Michael E. Foley, of Crawfordsville, made the principal address of the ev ening. His first words were a plea for party harmony. He declared that if the national as well as the state platforms represent the sentiments of the majority of democrats that he would be willing to stand on them whether or not they represented his views on every question. Discussing the present financial flurry, Mr. Foley said that he was not willing that the blame should be laid at President Roosevelt's door. The democratic party, he said, should be patriotic enough to leave politics out of the financial situation. Leaving Richmond 11:15 p. m. via C, C. 4r L. lands you in Chicago at 7:00 a, m.

The bear at the park was not the only one surprised by the unusual weather of Sunday. Everyone discarded their heavy wraps and enjoyed the respite from snow and chilly winds granted them by Old Man Winter. Owners of automobiles had their cars out, enjoying long .runs into the country and to nearby towns, while proprietors of livery barns did a good business. The spring-like weather continues today and the weather man says that it is probable the atmospheric conditions will be the same Tuesday. EPILEPTIC VILLAGE HAS SEVENTEEN INMATES Applications Being Carefully Examined. HAVE FOUR ATTENDANTS. New Castle, lnd., Dec. 0. Seventeen patients are now being cared for at the state epileptic village north of this city. Superintendent Van Nuys also has a number of applications from various parts of the state asking for the admission of patients. On account of the village not yet being in shape to care for helpless or violent patients, he is making a personal investigation of each application. Four attendants have been emplyed at the village to look after and care for the patients now there. The two new cottages which W. S. Kaufman of Richmond designed, are about completed. The board of trustees held a meeting at the village yesterday afternoon, and besides making the usual inspection allowed several bills. CORNELL STUDENTS

As Result of Their Bets on Pennsylvania Game, Merchants Of Itaaca Are Now Worrying Over Bad Debts.

Ithaca, X. Y., Dec. 9 A bankrupt undergraduate community, the most tangible effect of Cornell's defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania two weeks ago is the unpleasant prospect which local business men are having to deal with at present. Hundreds of Cornell students straggled back into town at all hours and the mute turning of their pockets inside out is expressive. Fully $25,000 was left behind by the students and local merchants who followed the big red team through its defeat at Philadelphia, and today Ithaca feels the effects of a money panic which outrivals the big national scare as far as local interests are concerned. Many students who came back were without enough money to buy their next meal. Fortunately most of them had purchased return tickets, al I taoush several came back aa blind

HOOSIER LOST ELECTION BET AND WEARS BEARD Soup Strainers Are Now Fif ty-One Years Old. RESULT OF ARGUMENT. Morocco, 'jxd., Dec. 9 On the morn ing of the presidential election of 1856 David M. Pulver, of this place, walked four miles to a little old log schoolhouse to vote for John C. Fremont. While at the voting place he became involved in a heated political argument with a neighbor and vowed then and there not to shave if Fremont should be defeated. As a result of this vow, Mr. Pulver is now wearing a beard fifty-one yare old, and still there is no percepCTme sign of relenting on the part of the wearer. Mr. Pulver is seventy-seven years old and he has served continuously as justice of the peace for fifty-one years. He is one of the oldest pioneers in Newton county and in the early days it was no vmusual occurrence for him to walk twenty miles through dense forests and treacherousswarnps to perform a marriage ceremony, congratulating himself if he received a 'coon 6kin or two as compensation.

When they got here they found the same lack of funds in the houses of their friends, and when they turned to the always ready local merchants for a touch it was not forthcoming. Students who had pawned their watches, cuff buttons, scarf pins, dress suite, overcoats and even their hooks to put up bets on Cornell were in a very serious predicament. One man was found who had pawned a newdress suit even before he had worn it. Many telegrams were sent home to i father with touching appeals for funds and the prospects for a swell iunior week at Cornell are decidedly slim There will be no more betting on Pennsylvania games and there will be no more orders on a Cornell football team.

Delegates to Recent National Rivers and Harbors Congress Have a Plan.

IS AN ENORMOUS PROJECT. MEETING WILL SOON BE CALLED TO PERFECT A STATE ORGANIZATION JESSUP REPRESENTED RICHMOND. To put Indianapolis in -lirect touch with the commerce or the Great Lakes by connecting Lake Erie and Lake Michigan and constructing canals that will bring the waterway commerce to the very doors of that city is the plan of the Indiana delegates to the Nation al Rivers and Harbors congress, who have just returned from a week's session in Washington, D. C. A meeting of representatives of commercial organizations, mayors of cities, traveling men's organizations, shippers and every one else in the state who is interested in the furthering of the project will be c;lled next month. The meeting will be held in Indianapolis and will be called bv Henry Riesenberg, who was chosen vice president, of the national organization for Indiana. Richmond was represented at the national meeting by Prosecuting Attorney Wilfred Jessup. The intrpo.se of the meeting, primarily, will be to form a state organization in Indiana as a branch of the National Rivers and Harbors congress and at this meeting steps for the consummation of the project will be taken. The first and principal object is to connect Lake Erie and Lake Michigan via South Bend and Ft. Wayne by constructing a ship canal. The subsequent construction of a branch canal to connect this city with the greater system is contempTated. All of the waterways running through Indianapolis will receive consideration in the project and White river will be utilized for slack water navigation. Asks for $50,000,000. At the recent convention in Washington resolutions were passed, asking congress to appropriate $50,000,000 a year for ten years, and more, if necessary, to carry out the plans of a

In the early days wolves were comparatively unsuspicious, and it was easy to trap or poisou them. Then new knowledge, a better comprehension of the modern dangers, seemed to spread among the wolves. They learned how to detect and defy the traps and poison, and in some way the knowledge was passed from one to another till all wolves were fullj possessed of the information. How this is done is not easy to say. It is easier to prove that it is done. Few wolves ever get iVo a trap, fewer still get Into a trap and out again, and thus they learn that a steel trap is a thing to be feared. And jet all wolves have the knowledge, as every trapper knows, and since they could not get it at first hand they must have got it second hand that is, the information was communicated to them by others of their kind. It is well known among hunters that a piece of iron is enough to protect any carcass from the wolves. If a deer or aritelope has been shot and is to be left out overnight, all that is needed for ts protection is an old horseshoe, a spur or even any part of the hunter's dress. Iso wolf will go near such suspicious looking or human tainted things. They will starve rather than approach the carcass so guarded. With poison a similar change has come about Strychnine was considered infallible when first It was introduced. It did vast destruction for a time; then the wolves seemed to discover the danger of that particular smell and would no longer take the poisoned bait, as I know from numberless experiences. It is thoroughly well known among the cattlemen now that the only chance of poisoning wolves is in the late summer and early autumn, when the young are beginning to run with the mother. She cannot wratch over all of them the whole time, and there Is a chance of some of them finding the bait and taking it before they have been taught to let that sort of smell thing alone. The result is that wolves are on the increase. They have been, indeed, since the late eighties. They have returned to many of their old hunting grounds in the cattie countries, and each year they seem to be more numerous and more widely spread, thanks to their mastery of the new problems forced upon them by civilization.
