The people of the South are
being deceived in the purchase
of immitation medicines. It's
poor consolation to a sick man
to be told that the medicine oN
fered him certainly won't do
him any harm. Wrong; it will
do great harm. It allows the
disease to progress instead of
stopping it, ; ana this is most
dangerous, because the disease
will soon be beyond cure. This
is the best reason why one should
be sure to get the right med
icine. Don't risk your health
in trying any of the many Liver
Medicines which sprung up in
the South to be sold in place of
Simmons Liver Regulator, put
up by J H. Zeilin & Co.. -with
the Red Z on every pacKage.
this was the medicine 'of your
fathers, and. they lived long.
Have nothing to do with any- .
thing else, or any druggist or.
dealer who would persuade you
that the many imitations under
different names ars just as good.
Its not true. The people who
bug them heap up their miseries.
Beware!
FINANCE. AND TRADE.
6nfidenee Takes tha Throne So Long Held
by Distract.
New Yobx, April 27. R. G. Dan & Co.'s
Weekly review of trade saya: Neither the
rise in speculative markets nor the steady
gain in industries has ceased, and it is
wholesome that there are fewer signs of
hesitation in the productive industries
than. in speculative prices. Wages strikes
grow more numerous and cause some
trouble, and retail demand lags behind
wholesale sales and jobbing purchases be
hind production in some branches, but
through many conflicting reports the fact
shines out that the industries are gaining
not with a rush and a whirl, but more
safely.
It is less clear that railroads are increas
ing their earnings, or that over production
of cotton will bo cu red by the advance of
lc. in price, or thai cornering short sell
ers of wheat will help to market the large
surplus. But revival of activity In all
these directions, if possibly excessive in
seme, helps confidence to take the throne
so long held by distrust.
The failures for the week have been 230
In the United States, against 179 for the
same week last year, and 37 in Canada,
against 28 last year.
Bradstreet's review says: The features
of the week is the continued strength of
I prices of staples after the striking advan
ces of preceding weeks. There is a firmer
undertone in nearly all lines of trade, but
at a number of points gains in industrial
are more marked, than in commercial
lines. There is moderate activity in the
market for wool, and cotton goods are firm
on the advance in cotton and higher wages
paid eastern mill operatives.
The Greater Pittsburg: Bills.
Harrisbtjbg, April 27. The greater
Pittsburg bills will go to the governer next
week. They passed the house in exactly
the shape they left the senate, except for
some very unimportant amendments.
The senate will concur in these next Tues
day, when it reconvenes. The vote for or
against consolidation will take place at
the presidential election in 1896, and if the
vote is in favor of consolidation the dis
tricts will be united -into the greater
Pittsburg ha . March, 1898. The combined
population of the territory to be consoli
dated Is 450,000. It is estimated that this
will be increased to 600,000 before the tak
ing of the next'eensus. This would make
It the fourth city of the union, or the fifth
If New York and Brooklyn consolidate.
The Aeent Himself the Robber.
Cripple Creek, Colo., April, 27. The
Denver and Rio Grande express was rob
bed of about $1,100 at Victor early in the
morning. ,Tho express agent, Carlin, says
a man came into the station soon after
midnight, and after talking a few min
utes struck him a powerful blow, which
laid him prostrate on the floor, where he
remained for some time insensible. When
he regained consciousness, he says, . the
man had disappeared, the safe door was
open and the money gone. Subsequently,
however, Carlin confessed that he had
concocted the story to cover up a misap
propriation. - - ,-
No SllTer Convention for West Virginia.
Wheeling, W. Va., April 27. The pro
posed Democratic state committee to com
mit the party in West Virginia on the
silver question will not be held owing to
the strong opposition that has developed
among the . party leaders in the state to
the proposition. The opponents of the
plan do not base their opposition so much
on an enmity to free silver as they do on
the fact that they regard the idea of a dec
laration on the question, either .one way
or another, in advance of the national -con
vention of next year
as unwise from a
party standpoint.
The Striking Providence Mill Workers.
Providence, April 27. The attempt of

nearly all the other departments joined

The strikers now number 1,500, and 1,000

8h Will Insist Upon All the Terms of the

Critical State of Affairs Existing; In Fekin
and Yokohama. .
London, April 27. Direct and positive
Information from official sources is at hand
concerning the exact negotiations between
Russia, France and Germany on one hand
and Japan on the other.
The Russian, French and German min
isters separately interviewed the Japanese
vice minister for foreign affairs, under in
btructions from their respective govern
ments, and presented memorandums, in
which it was stated that th6 governments
of Russia; France and Germany, upon ex
amining the terms of peace Imposed by
Japan upon China, have found that the
possession of the peninsula of Liao Tung,
claimed by Japan, would be a constant
menace to the capital of China and at the
same- time would threaten the indepen
dence of Corea and render it non-effective
in fact.
Ia this sense and for other reasons it
would be, It was stated, a constant menace
to the permanent peace of the far east.
Consequently the governments of France,
Russia and Germany, desiring to show
their sincere friendship for the govern
ment of Japan, advise it to renounce the
absolute and final possession of. the penin
sula of Ldao Tung.
The memorandums of the three govern
ments make it plain that they are pre
sented in the way of friendly advice to the
Japanese government, and .are not in
tended in any way to convey any open or
covert menace.
The impression is gaining ground that
Japan can rely upon the friendly counsel
of the United States at the present mo
ment. The governments of Great Britain
and Italy have made it plain that they do
not intend to follow the example of Rus
sia, France and Germany, and the great
commercial interests of the United States
in the far east, which the Japanese-Chinese
treaty would largely benefit, no less
than the constant attitude of the United
States toward Japan, lead diplomats to
believe that the United States at this junc
ture will not fail to make such a use of its
good offices as will prevent Japan from be
ing deprived of the fruits of her victory.
The treaty of peace has already been
ratified by the emperor of Japan, and it
would be extremely difficult to make any
change. The only effect of Russia's,
France's and Germany's attitude must be
to encourage the party In China which is
opposed to any moderate and reasonable
settlement, and thus to prolong the wai
indefinitely.
I It niay be stated in the most positive
terms that the reports thus far circulated
regarding Japan's reply to the powers are
not correct. ' The reply had hot been sent i
as late as the evening of the 26th, and
from the intimations received from the !
highest and most reliable sources here it
may be stated that the reply, . while mod
erate and conciliatory in tone, will not
contain any recession from what Japan
regards as rightfully her due. I
. It is believed that Japan was surprised
by the protests made by Russia, France
and Germany. The dispatch of the latest
Japanese expedition to Port Arthur was
ordered for the purpose of allaying the dis
content that exists in that portion of the
army which has not shared in the honors
of the campaign, and also to force the Pe
kin government to ratify the peace treaty.
A- Pekin dispatch to The Times say it
is the cession of southern Manchuria, as
provided for in the treaty of peace, that is
chiefly opposed in the Chinese capitol.
The agreement to this end made by Li
Hung Chang specially grieves the em
peror, because the province of Manchuria
is the ancestral portion of the empire.
There is less opposition regarding the ces
sion of Formosa, which is a new province.
The other articles of the treaty are re
garded as bearable. Several governors
and some of the generals oppose submis
sion to the public proclamations that have
been made. "
Apprehension in Yokohama. :
Yokohama, April 27. The demand
made by Russia, France and Germany
that Japan refrain from annexing the
Liao Tung peninsula, is expected to try
the self restraint of the Japanese nation
very severely. The government will find
it difficulty, if not impossible, to comply
without great risk of internal trouble.
The present situation is viewed with,
much apprehension. At the same time, it
is believed that the government will be
compelled to do its utmost to meet the
European views. -
Affairs In Febin Critical.
; Shanghai, April 27. A dispatch re
ceived here from Pekin says that affairs
there are in a critical state; Some of the
generals are in favor of continuing the
war; The censors object to Viceroy Li
Hung Chang and the terms of the treaty
of peace between China and Japan, and
the officials are claiming that the emperor
alone should decide upon the terms. The
ratification of the treaty consequently is
uncertain, .and if it is , ratified fears, that
there will be trouble with the army.
A' Mother's Charge Against a Clergyman.
' OLDBURY,EnglanL April 27. Mrs. Hall,
the mother of the young woman, Emma
Hall, whose death in a hospital at Detroit,
Mich. has cast suspicion on the Rev.

evidence to convict-the Rev. Jonathan
Bell, whom she holds responsible for her
child's death. Mrs.Hall says that the Rev.
Mr. Bell sent Emma to America. Mrs.
Bell, wife of the missing pastor, says she
does not know whether her husband is
dead or alive. The members of the Rev.
Mr. Bell's congregation consider his guilt
to be fully established.

THE INDIAN LAND MUDDLE.
S Judicial Decision That Increases the
Conflict of Authority. .
Lincoln- Neb., April 27.-Judges Dundy
ahd Riner refused to issue a mendatory
Injunction compelling the Flourney Land
company and all others interested in leas
ing Winnebago Indian' reservation lands
to vacate the property. It is said that the
ruling of the federal court will not deter
Captain Beck, the Indian agent. from pro
ceeding with the eviction of the tenants.
Beck said: today that he would at once
evict all settlers, and a conflict of author
ity is possible.
In 1880 speculators began operating in
these lands with illegal leases, and con
tinued to'do so ever since. The Flourney
company leases 57,000 acres of land, and"
sublet a large portion. It secured the land
off the Indians for about twenty cents an
acre, and sublet it for tl.60 to $2. For
years Indian agents had attempted to break
up the system. In the five injunction cases
brought the same questions were raised.
At this point a question of misjoinder
was raised by Judge Dundy. The court
inquired how 250 people sub-leased from
the company could be equally interested
and equally joined. The attorney for the
government said that the government
preferred to proceed by civil process in
stead of employing the military force at
its command. All the government wanted
to do was to enforce collection of a fair
lease and get rid of the speculators. The
Indians were to be permitted to lease the
lands in acccordance with the established
rules of the department at Washington.
The court refused to permited the govern
ment to join in the suit. As. the result of
this litigation the muddle is deeper thar
ever.
An Involuntary Railroad Ride.
Baltimore, April 27. Charles W.
Badey, 15 years old; Charles Lenshaw. 12,
and John Morton Dillon, 9, made an en
forced journey to Baltimore from Phila
delphia. On Wednesday evening they
and two other boys were playing "hide
the hoop" about the Pennsylvania rail
road station in Philadelphia. The three
travelers entered a stock car to hide, when
the door was closed upon them. Unable
to make any person hear them, and tired
out, they went to sleep. Soon after they
awakened the door of the car was opened
and they were released. The boys were
well cared for and their parents tele
graphed. - -
The Cases Against Eugene V. Debs.
Washington, April 27. It Is stated here
that the continuance of the Debs case has
no significance. The attorney general
wired the district attorney at Chicago to
continue the case until the July term of
the court. It is expected that by that time
Judge Grosscup, who is ill, will have suf
ficiently recovered his health to hear the
case. J udge Grosscup heard the previous
case, and granted the injunction against
Debs. He is '.perfectly familiar with all
the questions Involved, and for this reason
it is preferred to continue the suits until
they can be heard before him.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 27. A horrible

soon he will be removed. Mr. Kretz, of

THE NICARAGUA AFFAIR
No Direct News from the Scene of
the Trouble.
BRITISH DEMANDS NOT MODIFIED.
It Is Believed That Great Britain's Naval
Force Has Already Taken Possession of
. he Custom Houoes, Although Nleavragua
Has Not Tlelded Without Protest.
Washington, April 27. Up to a late
hour Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minis
ter, has not received any dispatches from
nis government indicating what, if any
thing, has transpired in connection with
the British ultimatum.
A difference of opinion exists in diplo
matic circles as to the precise time at
which the ultimatum expires, soma per
sons holding to the belief that it expired
Thursday midnight, while others contend
that Friday midnight marks the limit..
From the .cables heretofore received by
Dr. Guzman he is of the opinion that the
limit of time was up at midnight on
Thursday, but in the absence of any later
news he thinks that some additional time
probably twenty-four hours has been
granted to Nicaragua within which to
make answer. He is, however, in the dark
as to what really has occurred. 1
The minister seems to believe the mat
ter will be settled, but in what manner
and in what terms he does not advance an
opinion.
London, April 27. In well informed
English quarters here it is declared that
the British ultimatum to Nicaragua has
not been modified, that Admiral Stephen
son has not been cabled to extend the time
granted Nicaragua within which to pay
the Indemnity of 175,000 demanded by
Great Britain, and In the absence of defin
ite news it is believed that the admiral has
already occupied Corinto. The belief is
also expressed here that the Nicaraguan
government will not yield to the demands
of Great Britain until compelled to do so,
in order to avoid being forced to resign
office.
An Alibi for Toung Strevil.
Ft. Scott, Kan., April 27. At the trial
of Noah Strevil, charged with murdering
his father, the defense introduced testi
mony that the murdered man was a party
to the recent burning of his stock barn,
and that he collected insurance money on
some blooded horses, grain and harness
that were not burned, but were used by
him after the fire. It is the theory of the
defense that the murder was committed
by a man employed by the old man, who
set fire to the barn, and that the differ
ences between them arose over his refusal
to divide the insurance money. A witness
was introduced who positively made an
alibi for the accused young man.
Two Men Buried Alive.
Cincinnati, April 27. At Ludlow, Ky.f
near the Pullman car works, five men
were shoveling sand at the bottom of a

resuscitated. Jacob 'Pfleger was taken out
dead at dusk, and this morning the dead
body of Fred Schaal was recovered.

Student Durant Charged with Kill
ing Minnie Williams.
THE ACCUSED EEMAINS SILENT.
By Advlee of His Attorneys He Gives N
Kvidenee at the Coroner's Inquest Thf.
Murder of Miss Blanche Umost to b
Taken Up Later.
San Fbancisco, April 20. The i usual
crowd of curiosity seekers was present
when the inquiry into the murder df Miss
Minnie Williams was resumed yesterday.
Durant and his attorneys were also pres
ent. Elmer Wolfe, the young man whose
statements have been questioned recently,
was recalled to the stand and offered to
produce witnesses to substantiate all he
had previously said in regard to his move
ments on the night Minnie Williams was
murdered, but the coroner declined the of
fer, and both that official and the chief of
police said they were satisfied with Wolfe's
statements, and did not believe he was
connected with the crime. i
Dr. Barrett, who conducted the autopsy,
testified that Minnie Williams died of as
phyxiation as a result of having part of
her clothing forced down her throat by
the murderer, and that the knife wounds
found on various parts of her body were
inflicted after her death. He also testified
that the girl had been outraged, aud that
previous to the time of the tragedy she
had led a blameless life. Several other
witnesses were examined on minor mat
ters, and the coroner then called Durant
to the stand. The latter left his seat as- if
to present himself for examination, but
his attorneys advised him not to speak,
and no further effort was made to question
him. i 1 ,
The jury did not occupy an hour in de
liberating, and returned a verdict charg
ing Durant with the murder of Minnie
Williams. It was the case of her death
only that was being Investigated. The
case of the murder of Blanche Lamont
will be taken up later. ; -
Miss Gertrude Taber, a stepsister of
Elmer Wolfe, the young man whose name
had been frequently mentioned In the ease
within the past few days, has come for
ward and identified the pocketbook which
was found on the San Bruno road by a
clam digger, and which contained some
papers, among which was a business card
of Dr. Vogel, on the back of which was
written the name of Miss Williams.
Miss Taber says that she missed the
pocketbook some time ago while out rid
ing near the Taber ranch, on the San
Bruno road, and explained the presence of
a card with Miss Williams' name on it by
saying that Miss Williams visited her
some weeks ago and wrote her address on
one of Dr. Vogel's cards. Durant's friends
say it is a peculiar coincidence that the
pocketbook should have been lost by one
so closely related to Wolfeand found at
this critical time. I
Mrs. Durant, mother of the acussed,
says that she has evidence for the defense
which will go to -iseC the bearing of the
statement of W .iiess Hill, who testified
before the coroner's jury to the fact that
he had seen a couple answering the de
scription of Durant and the dead girl
standing near the church about 8:30 on
the night of the tragedy, and who after
wards entered the churchyard. Mrs. Dur
ant says that a young couple had come to
her and stated that they entered the
churchyard about the time Hill claims to
have seen a couple pass into : the front
gate.
