ME, LANDIS TALKS OUT

AN INDIANA REPRESENTATIVE WHO *-DOES NOT MINCE WORDS

He Favors Passage of a Currency Measure By the House, Regardless of Its ft fi Fate In tfae Senate.

fr','

Special to the Indianapolis Jotirrial. Washington, Dec. 4.—Representative Lan4is, who arrived in Washington today, states there is. every evidence of prosperity in his district,, but that the people who elected McKinley expected some sort of currency legislation. He is in favor of the house going ahead and passing a currency measure that, will commend ftself to the business! fnen of the country. "If the senate defeats it, that's the senate's business," said Mr. Lan.dis, "and the senate will hear from the people, among whom there is an overwhelming sentiment in favor of such legislation as will strengthen and make stable our currancy'

Mr. Landis is strongly in favor of a modification of the civil service law. I am a member of the committee for the reform of the Civil service, and I am in favor of reforming it," he said, and then added: "The manner in which Mr. Cleveland filled every available place with Democrats and then Manketed these places with the cloak labeled 'merit system' was outrageous and indecent, and should not stand. I would not repeal the law, but I would radically modify it. I believe in political parties. The whole pendency of the present law is to discredit political parties. I firmly -believe that the safety of the republic lies in well-organ-ized''well-disciplined poltical parties they Aije'the surest protection against crazes and lads .'Nothing so 'stimulates political organisations as the hope of government appointment. Nothing so weakens such organizations as the practical elimination ot tflie',prosepct of appointment. A few years ago -party men in ordinary circumstances jgjadly, contributed of they* scanty means to •campaign funds. Few contribute today. Many of them demand pay for work they do in organization and getting out the vote. It takes lots of money to run a legitimate campaign. If this law continues and extensions continue the only hope of campaign expenses will be from rich men, and they will absolutely control politics. They will sit in both the senate and house, for they alone can afford to look after conventions and campaigns.. Nothing will so completely place the government in the hands of the rich fellows and corporations as the destruc tion of party pride and party organization and nothing will so surely sap these as this Civil service law as now administered, know that the less a member of congress has. to do with the distribution of patronage the easier it is for him, hut the member of congress who will secure ease and freedom from annoyance by even silently captioning a law that slams the dOor of the government in the faces of the faithful party workers who looked after his elec tion is an ingrate, and ought to be left at home. I believe in keeping the government close to the people—identifying the people with it I would fix a six-year limit .to. the great majority of offices. I would propor tion the appointments to congressional districts let'representatives and'senators do the recommending and make all appoint-, ments probationary.

MORMON CHURCH TREACHERYj

.Leaders in a Political Fight Again Despite Recent Promises.

Saffc Lake, Utah, Dec. 5.—James ChSrles Bo wen, a member of one of the teachers.' quorums of the Mormon church, has been disfellowehlpped becayee at the recent school election he wbrked for E. B. Critchlow, a non-Mormon, and against Gharles W. Symons, a Mormon.

Tho action of the' quorum has aroused much indignation, not only among the nonMormon population, but also among the more liberal minded Mormons, who believed that when the late manifesto was issued the principal theme of which was 'that the Mormon Church was out of politics, it meant (what it said. For a year or more past, however, there have, been indications of treachery on the part Of high officials in the

Mormon Church. This was apparent at the late city election, and the recent action has clinched the belief with many who hesitated long etfe they arrived at tnat conclusion. The Salt. Lake Tribune, once a bitter foe, but latterly very fcijpdly toward the Mormon church, referring to the'matter, says: "Utah is never going to be a slave state. That question was decided in 1865, so far aa the bodies of men are- concerned, and that kind of slavery is not half as degrading as the slavery of the soul."

It now but remains to see what action will toe taken by the high^offlcials of the Mormon church. Unless.an order to reinstate Bowen be issued the idea that the Mormon church ,!is

Still

in the saddle politically, as well

as spiritually, will not be generally accepted by those who wish to believe otherwise. That any polygamous marriages "have taken place since the issuance of the manifesto cannot be proven, .but that .at least a thousand polygamous, wives have given birth t» children within the last year is beyond question.

Governor Origgs Selection* Assured. Washington, Dec. 5.—It was officially announced at the White House today upon the return of the president to Washington that Governor-John Griggs of New Jersey has been tendered and has accepted the office of attorney general of the United States, which will be vacated by the nomination of Attorney General McKenna to be associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. It is probable that Governor Griggs will not assume his new office before the beginning of the new year.

If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would be

state of the blood—it can be reached, therefore,

only

The case of Mrs. James Kell, of6n Ninth Street, S. E., Washington, D. C., should convince everyone that it is useless to expect doctors to cure Rheumatism. Under recent date she writes: "A few months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form. The pain was 'so intense that my nervous system was prostrated, and I was for along time perfectly helpless. The attack was an unusually severe one, and my condition was regarded as being very dangerous. "I was attended by one of the most able doctors of Washington City, who is also a member of the faculty, of the leading college here. He told me to continue his prescription and I would get well. After having it refilled twelve times and receiving not the least benefit, I declined to take it longer. "Having heard S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair, to give it a trial. After taking a few bottles I was able to hobble around on

crutches, and very soon had no need at all for them, for S.S.S. cured, me sound and well. All the distressing pains have left me, my appetite has returned, and I am happy to be again restored to perfect health."

S.S.S. never disppoints, for it is made to cure these deep-rooted diseases which are beyond the reach of all other remedies. It cures permanenty Rheumatism, Catarrh, Cancer, Scrofula, Sczfema, ana all other blood diseases. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

^UJRES MEN TO DEATH

STORT OF THE FATAL CHARM! OF TFTTS.' CHAS. KITTINOER'S BEAUTV,

Leads .Jttany Men Captive and For Cove of 1 .£~r« Her Baroa Fussettl Ends His Lfc,

5 Special to the Chlcaco Tribune. Seattle, Wash., Dec. ^5.—Mrs. Charles Kittinger, for whqse sake Baron Possetti committed suicide in Vienna, Austria, on Wednesday came to this city in 1887. She was Amy Whitney then, with eyes dark, lus trous, and fathomless that could look unutterable love. Instantly she was acknowledged as beauty's queen. For two years she ruled absolutely and turned the heads of half the young men in town. KUtinger, a handsome social leader, confessed that she was the most beautiful creature, he had ever seen. One evening he called on her and the conversation drifted to the pleasures of travel. He was fond, of compositions like "Schubert's Serenade" and the sinuous music that clusters around the gqndola. "How would you like to spend a honeymoon in Venice?" he. asked.

It would be delightful," she said, then she asked what he meant. In a few days the engagement of Charles If. Kittinger and beautiful Amy Whitney was announced, and the wedding was set for June 14, 1889. On the afternoon of June 6th she was at a dressmaker's superintending a magnificent trousseau. Shortly after 3 o'clock she met Kittinger on the street, anff as they stopped for a moment they heard the fire bell that sounded the destruction of Seattle. Kittinger risked his life in a fruitless attempt to save the bridal gowns. He escaped only after severe burns. Eight days later the marriage ceremony was performed quietly, and the bridal couple spent their honeymoon, not in Venice, but in Victoria.

THREW HER DOWNSTAIRS, The Kittingers became known as possessing one of the coziest homes in Seattle, and there was apparently no cloud on their happiness until a Mardi Gras was held at the Armory. Wine flowed freely dinning the small hours, and to this day most of the participants have only a dazed recollection of the manner in which they were taken home. Shortly afterward some one 3ent Mrs. Kittinger a marked copy of a disreputable Sunday paper containing a story about "Charles Kit ger" and his high old time at the Mardi Gras. He was asked to explain and the story goes that his explanation wound up by his -throwing Mrs. Kittinger down stairs. After that occurrence it was understood that the only tie between the nian and wife was their child, Mildred.'

Kittinger had secured a position with the Everett Land company at Everett, Wash., thirty miles from Seattle, and went to his place of business every day by train. H. Cranston Potter of Tacoma, whose lifeless body last year was cast up by the sea at the Cliff House, San Fraacsico, under ciN eumstances that indicated .suicide, was' a frequent visitor to Seattle, and the bandsome Mrs. Kittinger was one ot his'best friends. After a visit with him

through the blood But

all blood remedies cannot cure Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate disease, one Which requires a

real blood remedy—

something more than a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is the only real blood remedy and promptly gofes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case.

Like all other blood diseases, the doctors are totally unable to cure Rheumatism. In fact, the only remedies which they prescribe are potash and mercury, and though temporary relief may result, these remedies produce a stiffness of joints and only intensify the disease. Those who have had experience with Rheumatism know that it becomes more severe each year.

Brighton

Beach Mrs. Kittinger discovered that she bad lost her rings, including her engagement

ring, and when her husband asked iter about it she is said to have replied.that they were at a Jeweler's., Finally a detective located them in a Sii^e street saloon, where they, had been left by an unknown man.

TURN^ TO THE STAGE.

The flirtation with Potter and .other admirers was folded by the death of Mildred. During the jpforld's Fair Mrs. Kittinger, it is related ,' gas a familiar figure on the Midway, and ^o enjoyed being center of admiration that she was accustomed to talk with the Turks and other denizens of. that' strange community. Then she went on the stage and played the part of a maid in one of Palmer's

^mpanions

in New York.

•After a time fairy stories were heard of her as "the wonderful widow from the West," and the tales -of her rich gowns and magnificent style of living sounded as romantic ap chapter, from the Arabian Nights. Last spring Town Topics published an interesting story about the mysterious widow. The young man was the son of the pastor of a swell Episcopalian church on Fifth avenue, but the intended wedding could not ,4ake -place for very good reason —Mrs. Kittinger was not divorced. Mrs. Kittinger next went to Venice, and from that far-off city has come the story of conquest wrought by her matchless beauty.

She is 25 years old, has a rich olive complexion, perfect figure, medium height, and has features that would grace a Venus but for a slight imperfection of her lips. She was born in Montreal, where her father, Charles Whitney, stood high in -business and social circles. Her mother was a Spanish woman of the same wondrous beauty, and it is related that she eloped with one of the Allans, of a line of steamships.

Berlin, fcecl 5.—When the Cferman reinforcements numbering 23 officers and 1,400 men arrived at Kiao Chau Bay, for which point as already cabled, they will soon set out, they will bring the total German force there up t& 45160 men, the largest body Germany has §vert«ent beyond European waters. It is under^god that the reserves had to be drawn upon.! "'The admiralty denies that other Euro$ifti squadrons have entered the harbor atf-KUto Chau to watch Germany's proceedings and it is 'believed that Admiral Von Dien^riqh would protest vigorously against such kn attempt.

The Kolnische Zeitung regards the expe dition as havings a two-fold aim first to ob tain missionary reparation and second to obtain the,gession of Kiao Chau as payment for past services rendered China by Germany in cofctfection with the conclusion of peace with Japan. There is much self con gratulatlon-agiong the Germans that the missionary incident absolves the govern ment .from the tedious and perhaps abortive process of diplomatically claiming a coaling station in the form of a demand for a treaty port or a settlement on personal lease. It lis believed unnecessary to take Great Britain Into account, as she is' over occupied elsewhere, while Japan is not likely to resist the coalition of Germany Russia and France. At the same time, it says, that Germany will not be led by the allurements of France, Russia or England to deviate from a policy ot moderation in China.

GEN. M'GINNIS IS INDIGNANT

Dana's "Reminiscences" Reflect on His Record as a Soldier. Indianapolis, Dec. 5.—The friends of Gen George Fr -McGinnis of this city are very indignant over the publication of letters in Charles A. Dana's "Reminiscences" which reflect upon him as a soldier, and some of them say that Dana's letters were inspired by Gen. Hovey.

Dana's letters says, after commending Gen. Hovey, that his brigadier, Gen. McGinnis, "is brave enough, but too excitable. He lost his balance at Champions Hill, and is not likely ever to be more than a brigadier." Speaking of the Iptter today. Gen. McGinnis said: "Mr. Danj^jytote four, letters, of that character, It w«s his request that they be printed in the civil war history, but it was held that they were too monstrous .to have a place in,, the history. Failing in this, he applied for -t£em, but succeeded, in getting only two-(p? -them from the department of war. I do not wish to discuss the matter unless the^Ey.blication opens a controversy but if it does will have a good deal to say."

Friends of fthe general say that the letters of IJana wer# inspired by Gen. Hovey, and for the reason that McGinnis and his brigade were conspicuous in the battle of Cham pions Hill, wfiile Hovey was obscured. Sail? oiie of these friends today: "It is wftll^known that McGinnis' brigade was in thg hottest of the battle and really won it for^t)ie-union cause, and the records show that' jpt of 2,408 men who fell in the battle 1,S92 -belonged to McGinnis' brigade. McGinnis sent three messages to Hovey for aid, but Hovey could not be found, and he then appealed direct to Grant, who sent assistance, and the hill was held, It was this appeal to Grant that angered Hovey and inspired the Dana letters."

GRAIN MARKET QUIET

MOST OF THE STATISTICAL NEWS FAVORED LOWER PRICKS IN WH^AT.

Ia 8pite of th* Fact That the Visible 8npply Showed an Iacr—ia the Decllae Waa Small.' .•*

Chicago, Dec. All the grain markets were quiet and comparatively narrow today. May wheat opened lower and advanced, but. broke badly on very liberal seeding estimates and closed lower. Most of the statistical news favored lower prices. Corn and oats were unchanged at the close while provisions showed small advances.

At the opening dud for a short time after wheat was in a weak condition. Opening at 89i4©S9%, ac compared with Saturday's closing price of 89!£c, it sold oft slowly under fairly liberal offerings to 88%c. Early news almost altogether favored sellers. Liverpool, which «.«ened %d lower, showed declines at 1:30 p. m. World's shipments wero very large, amounting to 9,890,000 bushels, fully 750,000 more than expected, though all the increase news from America, the last

^Pee^?

WAS

but

in this the crowd was disappointed. The visible showed a larger increase than expected, aggregating 1,159,000 bushels, bringing the total stocks to 34,846,000. A year ago there were 56,312.000 bushels.' But so firm

the market that even the ex

cessive increase fell flat in so far as affecting prices was concerned. The amount on passage increased 1,680,000

There was not much done in corn. The market opened a shade lower with wheat, but became steady after a further slight decline and held well throughout the session, notwithstanding the break In wheat, closing at nearly the top price of the day. The trade wasaimost entirely professional. Receipts were 394 cars. Liverpool was %@%d lower. The large out inspection of 1,266,000 bushels and liberal shipments, 804,000 bushels, had a strengthening tendency. May ranged from 28%c to 28%@ 28%c, and closed at 28Hc.

The market for oats was a very narrow one, with small offerings and equally restricted demand. The market was weak early in the day following the course of wheat, but soon steadied. As in corn trade was almost altogether professional. Receipts' were 610 cars. The visible supply showed an Increase of 201,000 bushels and local stocks increased 98,000 bushels. May ranged from 22@22%c to 21%c, closing unchanged at 22@22%c.

Provisions ruled strong and higher on a moderate amount of business. Receipts of hogs were 8,000 less than expected, and the market was Influenced by that principally. Shorts were a little anxious about outstanding contracts and 'purchased to some extent. Part of the advance was lost on selling by Cudahy's brokers, but the close was steady. January pork was 6c higher at $8.82% January lard 2V4c higher at $4.30, and January ribs 2%c higher at $4.25.

Estimated receipts Tuesday: Wheat, 270 cars: corn, 620 cars oats, 560 cars hogs, 35,000 head.

The market held fairly steady after its publication until a raid by the bears in the final hour which was encouraged, by the weakness of New Jersey Central and the coalers.
