The appearance recently in St. Paul, of
William J. Cole, the detective, following
bo quickly his arrest and sentence to the
Minneapolis workhouse, caused consid
erable comment. Not a few persons who
had read of Cole's trial and conviction
were surprised at the fact that he was
again at liberty, as it was generally un
derstood he had been given an arbitrary
eenter.ee of confinement. Ccle is well
lenown in both cities, having at one time
operated a detective agency in Mlnne
epolls.
Cole was arrested Jan. 18 last by a
Minneapolis detective at the request of a
eurety company for which Cole had been
working. He was later arraigned on a
charge of vagrancy, and on the following
day in the Minneapolis municipal court
pleaded guilty to the charge. It was
fctated at the time that Cole had been
given sixty days in the workhouse with
out the option of paying a fine. The case
was before Judge W. A. Kerr, and when
Cole appeared on the street within a few
days after his sentence it was thought
some influence was at work in his be
half.
Judge Kerr, In talking of Cole's case
yesterday, said:
"The circumstances surrounding his
case were unusual, but there was noth
ing irregular in his trial or in my order
of his release. He entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of vagrancy which
was preferred by a city police officer
who arrested him for a violation of a city
ordinance. Tho sentence was that he pay
a fine of W0 or be imprisoned in the city
workhouse sixty days. In default of pay
ment of the fine I committed him, end a
week or ten days later I suspended the
sentence and ordered his release because
It came to my knowledge an Injustice had
been done—that Cole, had he endeavored
to do so, might have defeated the charge
of vagrancy. The law under which our
municipal court was created contemplates
the exercise of such authority by a mu
nicipal judge."
"In what form may information come
to a municipal Judge that he may recon
sider a case?"
"There is no specific form. It may come
through a letter from the person who
has been convicted. His friends or his
attorney may properly make such repre
sentations. That Is not an unusual thing.
Scarcely a day passes but I receive a let
ter, petition or call' for purposes of this
kind. Of course I do not approve of too
free use of power to suspend sentence,
but there is no question as to the right
of a Judge to do so In cases of convictions
[or violations of the city ordinances."
The records of the Minneapolis munici
pal court show that there has never been
v conviction for vagrancy under the state
kw In that court.

WISCONSIN MAN'S DEATH SAID TO
BE DIE TO EATING
PIE
SENSATION AT MOUNT HOREB
Coroner* Jury Find* That William
Nace's Death Was Due to Poison—
His 'Wife Under Suspicion, an It
"W an Learned She Had Purchased
gome Strychnine a Short Time
Previously.
MADISON, Wis., Feb. 19.—William
Nace, a farmer living near Mt. Horeb,
who died suddenly last Thursday, was
poisoned. This Is the verdict of the cor
oner's Jury, which held an inquest Friday
afternoon and Saturday.
The testimony at the inquest showed
that Nace left his home, about two miles
north of Mt. Horeb, last Thursday, to
buy stock. He took along for lunch two
pieces of mince pie. After driving about
four miles from home he ate the pie, and
immediately began to have cramps in tha
stomach. He drove up in front of the
residence of a neighbor, Konle, and call
ed, "Bring me some milk, I have been
poisoned."
Members of the Konle family carried
some milk to him, and he drank part
of tt. He then succeeded in getting into
the Konle house, four or five rods from
the road, but died almost as soon as lie
got inside, with all the symptoms of
strychnine poisoning, it is said.
It was brought out in the evidence at
the inquest that Mrs. Nace bought one
eighth of an ounce of strychnine at a
drug store In Mt. Horeb, Dec. 27, saying
she wanted to kill rats. She testified
that this dropped out of the buggy on
the way home and was lost. It was also
in evidence that a boy of the family tried
to purchase strychnine at the Mt. Horeb
drug store only a few days before his
father's death, but was refused. Mr 3.
Nace said there could have been nothing
wrong with the pie, as she had given
some of it to the children to take to
school for lunch, and they were not af
fected.
Mr. Nace evidently had no suspicion
of foul play, for Just before his death he
said to the Konles, "I'm afraid the whole
family is poisoned, for we all ate some of
that pie." The stomach was removed
from Nace's body and is now in charge
of Prof. W. W. Daniells, of the univer
sity, who will make an examination for
poison. If he finds it, there will be little
question of the manner of Nace's death.

FAMOUS CASE REOPENED.
Illinois Supreme Court Reverse* De
cree Agaiaftt Chicago Inter Ocean.
SPRINGFIELD, ill, Feb. lfl.—ln the
appeal of the Inter Ocean Publishing
company against the Associated Press,
the supreme couFl tqday rendered an
opinion reversing the decree entered by
the Cook county court for the
First district, and remanding the cause to
the circuit court, with directions to enter
a decree as prayed for hi the original bill
filed by the Inter ,Qceajj Publishing com
pany, to restrain^ the Associated Press
from suspending ogLexpelling the petition
er frnm Its membership, and from refus
ing to furnish it |?ewa according to its.
contract.
This bill set up file,fact that the Asso
ciated Press hadpoeen able to control
the business of buying and accumulating
news In Chicago, land selling the same,
and had thus created £or itself an ex
clusive monopoly, and to preserve such
monopoly had declared the Sun Printing
and Publishing association, a rival or
competitor In business, and antagonistic
to it, and sought to prohibit Its members
from buying news therefrom, under pain
of suspension or expulsion. It was also
alleged that the appellee had compelled
some of its members, by threats, to cease
buying the special ne,ws of the Sun Print
ing and Publishing association under its
contracts with its members, including the
appellant.
The appellee filed an answer to the bHI
and a hearing was had, the circuit court,
dismissing the bill for want of equity,
and, on appeal to the appellate court,
this decree was affirmed. The suprem*
court now reverses tills decree, and re
mands .the cause.
The opinion written by Justice PhllUpp
holds that the manner In which the cor
poration has used its franchise has charg
ed Its business with a public interest.
"It has devoted Us property to a public
use, and has in effect granted to the
public such an interest in Its use that It
must submit to be controlled by the pub
lic, for the common good, to the extent
of Interest it has thus created in the pub
lic in its private property. The sole pur
pose for which news -was gathered was
that the same should bo sold, and all
newspaper publishers desiring to pur
chase such news for publication are en.
titled to purchase the same without dis
crimination against them. » • • The
clause of the contract which sought to
restrict the appellant from obtaining
news from other sources than from ap
pellee is an attempt at restriction upon
tho trade and business among the citizens
of a common country. Competition can
never be held hostile to public interests
and efforts to prevent competition by con
tract or otherwise can never be looked
upon with favor by the courts.
"The court finds .that!the by-law of the
appellee corporation, which necks to pre
vent its members' from publishing ita
! special or other news !or receiving such
| news from any person declared by It
! hostile is not required for corporate pur
! poses, nor included within the purposes
of the creation of the corporation. To
enforce this by-law and contracts made
under it would 'enable the appellee to
designate the character of news to be
published,' and whether true or false,
there could be no check on it by publish
ing news from other sources. Appelle*
would be powerful in tho creation of a
monopoly in its favor and could dictate
the character of news ;it would furnish,
and could prejudice the Interests of the
public. Such a po-wer was never contem
plated in Its creation, and Is hostile to
public Interests. The clear effect of this
by-law is to create a monopoly, which
renders it void."

SENOR SILVELA DISPUTED.
Great Britain Did Not Aid Spain in
War With America.
LONDON, Feb. 19.—A special dispatch
from Madrid sayin- diat Premier Silvela.
j recently decls-.u in the senate that pre
i vious to tlie war with the United States
I the British government consented to let
I Spain have 8,500 shells which were being
! manufactured for her at the Maxim fac
j tory at Placentia, meets with vigorous
| denial in London. Albert Vlckers, head
i of the Vickers-Maxim firm, said:
"Senor Silvela lied. There I B not a word
: of truth In this allegation that England
i helped Spain to fight the United States,
| in the first place, the factory at Pla
j centla is a branch of our concern, built
I at the request of Spain, because that
I country wanted ammunition of home
! manufacture. It is "under the Spanish
I government's control and there never was
■ a shell manufactured there for sale in
England or in any country except Spain
where-a law against the export of am
j munition exists."
Senor Silvela is further quoted as say
j ing that Spain, not having used the shells,
! allowed them to be returned to the Brlt
i ish government, and that he did not
i consider the latter step a violation of
neutrality. This transaction Mr. Vicfc
ers also denied. Inquiries made at the
foreign office show that no papers exist
dealing with any such transaction. But
Lord Salisbury took the matter up per
sonally, instituting Inquiries in the va,
| rious departments with the view of i»«
' suing a denial should it be proved that
Senor Silvela has been correctly quoted.
These inquiries of the premier resulted
in an official statement being made to the
effect that the British government never
entered into any such transaction and
that if the Vickers-Maxim company un
dertook it the concern did so without
the knowledge of the government

ness, and the Most Obstinate Diseases, by Nature's Heth

Ministers and Those Who Have Used It Declare It to Be the Most Remarbable Invigorant Ever Pro*
duced, Better Than Any Treatment at Hot Springs, Sanitariums or Health Resorts.
A genius of, the Queen City has placed
on the market a Vapor Bath Cabinet that
has proven a blessing to every man,
woman or child who has used it.
Our recent Investigation of this remark
able invention was so very satisfactory
we have no hesitancy in indorsing tba
same as Just what all our readers need.
It is an air-tight inclosure, in which
one comfortably rests on a chair, and
with only the head outside, enjoys at
home, for 3 cents each, all the marvelous
cleansing, curative and invigorating ef
fects of the famous Turkish' bath, Hot
Vapor or Medicated Bath, with no possi
bility of taking cold afterwards, or in
any way weakening the system.
Hundreds of well-known physicians
have given up their practice to sell this^
Cabinet—such eminent men as Emerson
McKay, Detroit, who has already sold
over 700, and John C. Wright, Chicago,
who sold 125 last month.
Thousands of remarkable letters have
been written the makers from users, some
of which, referring to
Rheumatism, l>a Grippe, Kidney
Troubles,
will be interesting to those who Buffer
from these dread maladies. W, L. Brown,
Oxford, 0., writes: "My father was down
in bed for months with rheumatism; thl.?
Cabinet did him more good than $30 worth
of drugs." G. M. Lafferty, Covington,
Ky., writes: "Was compelled to quit bus
iness a year ago, being prostrated with
rheumatism and kidney troubles, when
your cabinet came. Two weeks' use cuced
me; I have never had a twinge since."
Rev. Geo. H. Hudson, Okemos, Mich.,
says: "I gave up my pastorate on ac
count of nervous prostration and lung
troubles; my editor so highly recommend
ed your Cabinet, I tried it; from that day
I have steadily grown better; am now
well: nervousness gone; lungs strong; am
a new man." Mrs. Ober, No. 994 Broad
street, Columbus, 0., writes: "It is grand
for curing colds, la grippe, inflammation,
aches, pains; It cured my uncle of neu
ralgia and sleeplessness with which he
had lon^suffered. A neighbor cured her
self of la grippe in one night, her little
girl of measles, her son of croup. An
other neighbor cured eczema of many
years' standing." Hon. A. B. Strickland,
of Bloomington, writes that the Cabinet
did him more good than two years' doc
toring, entirely cured him of catarrh,
gravel, kidney trouble and dropsy, with
which he had long been afflicted.

LONDON, Feb. 19.—There was a large
attendance this evening at the Authors'
club dinner, where the United States am
bassador, Joseph H. Choate, was the
gup .t of honor. Among those present
v jre James Brlce, Sir George Lewis, An
thony Hope Hawkins and J. R. Carter,
of the United States embassy.
Gilbert Parker, who presided, when
proposing the health of Mr. Choate, dwelt
upon the debt authors owed to American
readers and to the American government
for a "voluntary act of Justice in passing
the copyright law," a sentiment which
was heartily cheered.
Mr. Choate, in the course of a some*
what elaborate response, attributed the
great reading capacity of the American
people to tneir system of general educa»
tion at the expense of the state, and to
the public library system which, since
Its establishment In Boston under th«
auspices of Harvard, in 1638, "had grown
to such great proportions throughout the
United States. He went on to speak of
the eminent service the authors of both
countries were rendering to each other.
In this connection he referred particu
larly to the works of Capt. Mahan and
Mr. Bryce, the latter of whom, he siid,
had produced a work on American instU
tutions, in the "American Common
wealth," which was without an equal.
Mr. Bryce, In responding to the toast of
"Our Guests," said:
"One consolation for the little differ
ences which arose between England and
America in 1775 is the character of the
ministers and ambassadors whom the
United States have sent to England. 1
am convinced that each one brings more
friendship and good feeling from the
American people than his predecessor, a
feeling which the people of Great Britain
reciprocates in the warmest possible
manner."
Morley Roberts, proposing the health
of Gilbert Parker, said he regarded Mr.
Parker not as the ambassador, perhaps,
but certainly as the consul general of
Canadian literature. He caused much
enthusiasm by alluding to the debt Great
Britain owes Canada and her other col
onies for their services in the present
emergency.
Mr. Parker, whose response was very
happy, spoke of the right and Justice of
England's cause and emphasized the
fact that Canada had been the first to
foster and promote the Imperial improve^
ment. _
DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION.

ed at Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Every state
in the Union was represented in the au
dience that filled the Grand opera house
tonight when the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution

ton, while- IriTfront was displayed a huge
emblem of the order, a spinning wheel

flowers and Illuminated with red, white
and blue electric lights.
Mrs. Daniel Manning, of New York, tlie
present general of the national society,
called the congress to order, and Mrs.
Betty McGuire Smoot, of Virginia, deliv
ered the invocation.
Following the rendition by the Marine
band of the "Star-Spangled Banner" Mrs.
Manning delivered her address of wel
come to the congress.
Roernaes, Everett, Kan., says: "It's a
blessing; made me full of life and vigor;
should be In use in every family." Rev.
J. C. Richardson, N. Fifth street, Rox
bury, Mass., was greatly benefited by its
use, and recommends it highly, as also
does Prof. R. E. P. Kline, of Ottawa
university, who says: "1 find it a great
benefit. No Christian should be without
it." Hon. V. C. Hay, St. Joe. Mo., writes:
"Physicians gave me up to die; was per
suaded by friends to try this Cabinet, and
it cured me. I cannot praise it enough."
Rev. Baker Smith, D. D., Fairmont, N.
J., says: "Your Cabinet rids the body of
aches and pain, and as cleanliness is
next to godliness, it merits high recom
mendation."
Congressman John J. Lentz, Mrs. Ken
dricks, principal of Vas3ar college; John
T. Brown, editor "Christian Guide;" Rev.
C. M. Keith, editor "Holiness Advocate,"
as well as hundreds of clergymen, bank
ers, governors, physicians and influential
people, recommend it highly.
It Prevents DiMea.se,
and physicians are unanimous in claim-
Ing that colds, la grippe, fevers, small
pox, consumption, kidney trouble,
Bright's disease, cancer—in fact, such
marvelous ellminatlve power has this
Cabinet that no disease can gain a foot
hold in your body if you take these hot
Thermal Baths weekly. Scientific rea
sons are brought out In a very instructive
little book, issued by the makers. TO J
Cure Blood and Skin Diseases
this Cabinet has marvelous power. Dr.
Shepard, of Brooklyn, states that he has
never failed to draw out the deadly poi
son of snake blte3, hydrophobia, blood
poison, etc., by this Vapor Bath, prov
ing that It is the most wonderful blood
purifier known. If people, Instead of
filling their system with more poisons by
taking drugs and nostrums, would get
into a Vapor Bath Cabinet and steam
out these poisons and assist nature to
act, they would have pure blood, and a
skin as clear and smooth as the most
lastidious could desire.
The liuportaut Feature
of this Cabinet is that it gives a hot
vapor bath that opens the millions of
porea all over the body, stimulating the
sweat glands, drawing out all the Ira
pure salts, adds and effete matter, which,
if retained, overwork the heart, kidneys,
lungs and cause disease, debility and
sluggishness. Astonishing Is the Im
provement in health, feeling and com
plexion. The first bath makes you feel
like a new being; 10 years younger.
With the Cabinet, if desired, is a
Head and Complexion Steamer,
in which the face, head and neck are
given the same vapor treatment as the
body, producing the most wonderful re
sults; removes pimples, blackheads, skin
eruptions, cures Catarrh, Asthma and
Bronchitis.
O. C. Smith, Mt. Healthy, 0., writes:
"Since using this Cabinet my Catarrh,
Asthma and Hay Fever, with which I
have been afflicted since childhood, has
never returned. Worth $1,000 to me. I
have sold hundreds of these Cabinets.
Every one was delighted. My wife finds
It excellent for her Ills."
Whatever
Will Hasten Perspiration
every one knows is beneficial, but other
methods are crude and insignificant, when
compared to the convenient and marvel
ous curative power of this Cabinet, known
as the new 1902 style
Square Quaker Folding; Thermal
Bath Cabinet. We find It to be a gen
uine Cabinet, with a real door, opening
wide, as shown in cut. When "Closed it
is air-tight; handsomely made of best,
most durable, water-proof goods, rubber
lined. A heavy steel frame supports it,

GTJAYAMAS THREATENED.
Two Thousand Yaqul Indiana. March
ing on the Town.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 19.—Information
reaching here today from Oritz, state of
Sonoro, Mex., is to the effect that a
courier has been dispatched after Gen.
Torres and the Mexican forces who are
now supposed to be some fifty miles or
more in the immediate center of the
Yaqui Indian country, engaging roving
bands of Indians almost daily. The cause
of this special messenger is that infor
mation has been received from a suppos
edly reliable source that the main body
of the Yaquis, some 2,000 strong, are
marching onto Guayamas, Mex., with a
view of capturing that town, with all its
supplies, stores and inhabitants. The
Mexican government has some 300 sol
diers there in charge of the garrison and
the regimental supplies, and while the
Town is strongly fortified, it is feared that
the large force of Indians will prove too
much for the soldiers stationed there, and
reinforcements may be necessary at any
moment
