I,,mu Island City has a volunteer lire

Will Imprison Gambler..
Xasiivii.i.k, Tcnn , May 8.—In viow
of the fact that there havo boon several
| hundred men, including many business
men and clerks, captured In gambling
house raids in tho past two months,
Judge Ridley’s charge to the jury
created a - sensation. lie announces
I most positively that hereafter all tinder
indictment for gambling, who would
submit their cases would receive oach a
I sentcnco of ten days in county work
ami a line of $10 and costs, and that if
| they contested their cases and were con
victed, the penalty would be thirty days
I in (lie workhouse in addition to the line.
Nkw York, May8.—The rumor that
the civil war in Chili was being pro
longed by W. IL Grace A Co,, whoso in
terests are favorable to the congress
party, and Charles It. Flint & Co., who
have supported Baltnaceda and tho gov-
ernment, was emphatically denied yes
terday by the senior partner of each
firm..
These firms have been rivals in the
South American trade, and have inter
ests in Chill that are atTected by tho rev
olution. Sometime ago, Flint & Co.,
sent to Balmaceda two latgo consign
ments of arms. In each consignment
there wero 350 cases of titles and 750,000
cartridges. These goods were invoiced
as being for Rio de Janeiro “in transit,”
and were sent by the United States and
Brazil mail steamships Advance and
Vigilancia. Tho goods wero transfer
red at Rio to a steamship bouud for
Montevideo, then transferred to Bal-
inaceda's two new torpedo cruis
ers, the Almiraute Lynch ami the Almi-
ranto Condel. Then these torpedo boats
fought the battle with the Huascar and
Blanco Encalada in Chilian waters. It
U also said that arms have been pur
chased in New York for tho Congress
party and shipped overland to Califor-
nia. Hence arose the rumor that rival
commercial interests in Now York were
responsible for tho prolongation of the
war.
The Chilian steamer Itata that was
siezed on Tuesday night while taking on
supplies at San Diego, Cal., was former
ly one of the fleet of the South American
Steam Navigation Company, of which
W. K. Grace & Co. are tho New York
agents,
Itobhed by Masked Men.
Woosteu, Ohio, MayS.—On tho night
of August 20, 1800, the farm residence of
Michael Shelby, near this city, was
forcibly entered by four masked men,
who bound and gagged Shelby and his
aged wife and stole cash amounting to
$12,000. Mrs. Shelby died from nervous
prostration brought on by the excite
ment of tho robbery. A detective bu
reau has just caused the arrest of Henry
H. Binckley, his grandson, Harry
Webb, and a son, Daniel Binckley, who
arc neighbors of the Shelbys. Daniel
Binckley was until a few weeks beforo
the crime was committed a member of
the police force in Kansas City, Mo.,
where he was discharged. The men will
also bo prosecuted for murder.
A COOD APPETITE
Is essential, not only to the enjoyment of food, but to bodjly health and mental vigor. This
priceless boon may be secured by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
JOHN R. SHAW,
4 Feeling truly grateful for the benefits
realized by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I
gladly offer my testimony in Its favor. For
several months 1 had no appetite; wlmt food
1 ate distressed me. 1 was restless at night,
and complete prostration of the nervous
system seemed imminent. Three bottles of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cured me.” — Miss A E.

from troubles consequent upon a severe fall.
My blood became very much impoverished,
and I suffered severely from weakness of

And myself greatly benefited by Its use.”—

Snow In Minnesota and Dakota.
St. Paul, Minn., May 7.—Reports
from western Minnesota and a largo por
tion of the D.il'Otas state that snow fell
there yosterday. The wheat has been
growing too fast and the cold weather
will check it and make it spread aiiil
root. Crop reports covering every
point in the wheat belt 8how the condi
tions to bo the most favorable since the
year 1881. The moisturo throughout
the Bonanza belt is so great that a
drought is impossible. Nothing but the
most untoward circumstances can pre
vent a large crop. The acreage in wheat
is estimated at eight per cent greater
than that of 18110.
