O. Boman on the charge of violating the State law known as the civil rights law. The complaint states that on June 28 Kelley, his daughter and Mrs. Sadie Brooks went into the Boman drug store at Second and Market streets, and were there refused soda water when they asked for it, which the complaint says, was a violation of the civil rights law. Mr.

Kelley was seen this morning with regard to his suit He Is a school teacher, well known In the city, and has taught in the Granite City colored schools many years. He is one of the best known colored teachers in the State, and his case will create much interest. Mr. Kelley was averse to talking about his case but said he went into the drug store of Mr. Boman and asked for soda water, which was denied him.

He claims to have conducted himself in an inobtrusive manner and to have in no way merited the refusal he received. Mr. Kelley consulted States Attorney Staats, and it was decided by him to enter criminal prosecution against Mr. Bowman for violation of the State law, Mr. Staats came over from Edwardsville this morning and caused the warrant to be issued for Mr.

Boman's arrest, and the warrant was served by Constable John Maxwell. Mr. Boman agreed to appear before the Justice July for a preliminary examination and was released on his own ance. States Attorney Staats said Friday that Mr. Kelly has recourse by both civil and criminal procedure.

H. Kelly and is a music teacher in addition to being a school teacher. Mr. Boman recently started his drug store at Second and Market streets.

All Members oi the Alton Division Signed the Tender of Services Lust Nitflit. Every man and officer of the Alton division of Naval Militia signed the resolutions last night tendering their services to the President for duty In China, and much enthusiasm prevailed. The document signed was drawn up and presented at the meeting, where ifwas given the approval of every member, and there was a scramble among the boys to put their names down on the paper. The preamble and resolutions adopted by the division to be forwarded to the President follow: Alton, 111., July 18, 1000. The President of the United States: Whereas, in the dark honrs of 181)8, when the war clouds hovered over our beloved country, a call for volunteers was made to protect our glorious banner, and, in the interest of humanity, our division of Naval Reserves in the UUl VIIVAOJ.W** irreat State of Illinois eagerly seized Qie opportunity of proving their patriotism; and Whereas, from this division sixty- five of our members were accepted for service in the United States navy and 35 in the army of invasion in Cuba, all of whom returned unharmed, after the starry banner had been left proudly floating over San Juan and El Caney; and Whereas, It is possible that the volunteers may again be called into service to protect and defend the honor of our country in the Empire of China, therefore be it Resolved, That the officers and members of the Third Division, Second Ships crew, Naval Militia of Illinois, in regular meeting assembled, do hereby eagerly and cheerfully tender their services to -President William McKinler, Commander of the Army and Navy of the United States, for service in China or aboard ship, that we may again assist in keeping that emblem of liberty floating high upon the standard that the world may look upon it, and seeing, understand the lesson it teaches.

And further be it Resolved, That this tender of our services shall go forward through the office and with the approval of our beloved soldier statesman, Governor John Tanner, and further Resolved, That the resolutions be spread on the log book of the division. Signed by commissioned officers, 10 petty officers, 44 men. ANOTHER CIRCUS COMING. He Was One ot Upper Alton's Oldest Residents, Having Lived There. Sixty Seven Years.

Another of Upper Alton's oldest residents passed away Friday morning when Robert P. Stanley died atlltfO o'clock. Death was due to kidney trouble. He had been ailing since last January, but was confined to his bed only two weeks. Robert Page Stanley was born at Nashville, September 7, 1820.

He was 71 years, 10 months and 12 days old. Mr. Stanley came to Upper Alton with his parents when he was a child'of four years, and has lived here ever since November 30, 1857, he was married to Miss Mary J. Kelly, of Metamora, 111. Of this union were born ten children, all now grown.

The wife and ten children survive D. M. Frye, of Hast St. Louis; Mrs. Eva G.

Sims, Jesse W. Stanley, Harry C. Stanley, Charley Annie Walter P-i Pearl Mabel L. and Nannie M. Stanley.

Eight of the children are residents of UpperJAlton. Early in the civil war Mr. Stanley enlisted in the Union army, and was a Corporal In Company 144th Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He was a cooper by trade and worked at his trade in Upper Alton and Alton for many years. Mr.

Stanley was a member of the Presbvterian church. PRKSIDKNT McKinloy departed from the National capital Thursday for his home in Canton, after numerous conferences with his cabinet in regard to affairs in China. Mrs. Me- Kinley remained at Canton during the President's absence at Washington. THE treaty by which Americans are entitled to protection and residence in China was adopted in 1858 by the administration of Buchanan, the last Democratic administration the country has had save that of Cleveland's.

It will be seen that the right of Americans to live In China is not a now thing. MCM's the word with Democratic "statesmen" of the Bryan breed. 4l have declined to be interviewed" is the program followed by the leader and the led. When Americans are being slaughtered and theflagtorn to shreds Bryan leaders show the white feather. Think of such men being at the head of the Republic in times of danger? As Usual.

Whenever newspaper names some one whom another newspaper will or will not support, for office. it places itself in the attitude of obtuse ignorance or willful lying. The Sentinel Democrat of last evening laid itself liable to this charge when it stated that the TKUSURAPH would support Mr. H. J.

Bailey for tho office of coroner as against several othe candidates tor the same office, All tho can didates have boon treated alike by this and will continue to bo so treat ed by the TUI.UUHAI'H, notwithstanding the S. willfully false state meiit to the contrary. When tho TKI. K.JUAKH desires to support any man for office it does not leave its readers In tho dark as its intentions. In the present case there are a number of candidates for sumo office, and the TKLKI.WAI'H does not fool called upon to champion the cause of either.

Tho party will bo woll served whichever of tho contestants gets the nomlnutron. The Sentinel Democrat is now trying to create in tho Republican party the state of aifttlrs It has created in its own. That shoot has torn tfie Democratic party Into shrods, It in Alton and tho county, it Is now aiming to do tho same thing in the Congressional district, Its attempt to Involve tho Twi.KtiRAi'ii In a factional fight as to the office of coroner will bo a'signal failure.

Tho Alton City Court will iumi a petit jury at the September term and ttye many cases on tlio docket that have uccumulutotl sinee th'J lust September U'l'in will bo disposed of. It is also probable the grand jury SUlooted by tho County board, will be served with a venue.

Land-slide on the BlulV Line. A land-slide on the about 24 miles this niilo of I'ilsah, was discovered Thursday ove.liy a party of boys, members of the Christ Cliuroli Cu'thodntl choir who arc camping on tho brow of thu bluffs l.horo.

They senl word to Klsab and a crow of section nion was sunt to clour tho truck. The land-slide- was caused by tho heavy rains loosening tho largo bank of earth. Tho la.te train from Chttutttuu.ua was delayed until midnight in Us arrival here, Naval Militia Offers Its Services. A communication will be sent by the Alton division of Naval Militia to President McKtnlejr through Governor Tanner, tendering the services of the division to assist infighting in China. After the regular business meeting last night a resolution was offered that Lieut.

Crossman be instructed to tender th.j services of the division and ttie resolution was pushed through with a whoop. The boys were very enthusiastic and say they are ready to go at any time to China. They are as enthusiastic as when the Maine was blown up and at that time they wore staying at the armory most of the time waiting for orders, and some the boys had their clothes packed for weeks awaiting a call to service. Forepaiiffb and Sells Bros. Will be Here in September to Give Their Show.

Alton is to be treated to a plenty of circuses. For many years not a circus canvass was spread in the city and thousands of people were circus hungry. Circuses are as indispensable to boys and the people who take the boys to see the show and now Alton boys are to be treated to a long neglected part of their training. The advance agent of the combined Fore- paugh-SelIs Brothers circuses was in Alton Thursday making arrangements the appearance of the show here before the middle of September. The Forepaugh-Sells combination is said to be fightfng the John Robinson show that will be here next Monday and that the appearance of the shows here in such quick succession is due to the atten.pt of the two circuses to cut each other out of business.

Sprow was given a hundred days in jail several months ago for vagrancy, and after the first day he was allowed to escape. He remained away from town until recently when he returned- but succeeded in dodging the officers until today. He was caught and will be compelled to work out his time in the city's euiploy.

by Sam Jones on Trusts. In the Manufacturer's Record Rev. Sam Jones discusses trusts and expansion. He takes the ground that trusts will injure chiefly the owners of stock. He concludes his letter in these words: "With the final disintegration of trusts and will inevitably come when financial disaster and shrinkage of values shall of course tlie surplus of their product will be thrown upon the market, and only the stocKholders in these trusts and combines will suffer.

As sure as that the sun shines, whenever any institution becomes unwieldy because of its and bulk it will finally fall of its own weight. "I nm an expansionist, and I believe that one of the causes of the stringency and shrinkage of values in this country is because we have not gone out over the seas with our products as we should have done. While there is a demand for our products of the fwm and manufactory of this country there will always be plenty of money, but when wheat and corn and cotton and all kinds of manufactures are a drug on the market, and no demand for them, then we have stringency and hard times. But when the highways over the seas shall be ladefl with our products into foreign countries, and the gold is brought back in the ships, then we shall flourish perennially. These great combinations are the only powers In this country that can do this thing for us.

A negro and an old mule can make corn and cotton; a fellow with a two hundred dollar sawmill can make lumber, but only aggregations of wealth can build ships and operate markets in foreign lands." GEN. Leonard wood, Military Governor of Cuba, is now in Washington. He speaks in high terms of praise of the Cubans. They are contented and happy; the crops are good; the sugar crop is 75 per cent greater than last year. There is $2,500,000 in the treasury.

Order and peace prevails. There are 130,000 children in the public schools, and 3,500 teachers instructing them. Teachers institutes are being held, the teachers showing an enthusiasm in their work that speaks well for public learning. Gen. Wood says there are now about 5,000 tAmerican soldiers on the island, and opposes the withdrawal of any more until after tbe elections.

Gen. Wood says that the people generally arc in favor of an independent government. W. W. RociCHlLL, now director of the Bureau of American Republics, has been special commissioner from this country to go to China and investigate and report on the situation there.

Within a week he will have a final conference with the President and Secretary Hay and then will leave for China. Not until he ai 1 rives at Shanghai will Mr. Rockhill undertake to outlinehis further course. Mr. Rockhill will go as a special commissioner to ascertain the extent of the responsibility of the Chinese government, if any, for the existing disturbances, and to otherwise turnish the administration with information on which the case of the United States against Chinafor indemnity and reparation will be based.

In case of the death or disability of Minister Conger, Mr. Rockhill will act as minister of the United States. til an investigation has been made at Pekln can the government of this country determine whether the government of China has hud any hand in the disturbances led by the Boxers. The American government will send' about 12,000 men to assist in restoring order and establishing a stable, government in Pekin, and securing'. severe punishment for the persons who have been engaged in the revolt.

The government of the United States is not in favor of dismembering the Empire; all that is asked is protection tc American citizens and equal trade rights with all other nations. No territory is desired. TOM Jett's claim that he has helped, the old soldiers get pensions is of the same order as his claim that he Is opposed to trusts. When the antitrust bill was before tbe House he voted against it, and thereby proved himself a friend rather than enemy of- the trusts. It will be found that Mr.

Jett's record in securing pensions for the soldiers is quite as insignificant as his anti-trust record. Tommy will promise anything just now to get votes, for he Is quite badly should he be elected he will do nothing for two reasons: First, if a Republican Congress Is elected the Republicans will see to it without asking Mr. Jett anything about it; and, second, if a Democratic Congress is elected the Democrats will see to.it that the old soldiers get little attention. The old soldiers will trust their long-time friends, the Republicans, who have passed all the laws they have secured anything under, and by which their comrades are now drawing good pensions and many of them enjoying comfortable homes in various institutions maintained for them in the various States, the laws for which were all passed by Republicans. Statesman Bryan.

I have declined to be interviewed on the Chinese question," said statesman and candidate Bryan on Tuesday of this week. The candidate is willing to talk a little on 10 to 1, a good deal on Imperialism, and a perfect cyclone on the trusts, but, positively, not a word on the Chinese question. That is a sealed bopk to-thp great talker. No matter if his fellow Americans have been nb matter if the United States flag has been pulled down from the American Minister's residence and trailed in the dust, he has not a word to say. No encouragement, no sympathy, no flashing out of manly dignity proclaiming vengeance against the per- potrators of those cowardly outrages'.

Bryan is afraid of that question. He wants to know where the voters stand. He is not nuich like old Cert. Dix of Now York, early in 1801, when informed that the American flag had lieon pulled down, hurled that famous message at the insulters of tho flag, "if any man haul down the American flag shoot him on tho spot." No, no. Bryan declines to be inter viewed on that question.

Is that the kind of a man that courageous and patriotic Americans want for their chief Kxoc- You novel' read of such' euros elsewhere as thoso accomplished by Hood's did you? It is America's Greatest Medicine. Cured Bronchial Trouble. Chas. K. Davis, 1071 W.

Marsh and S. H. ATTOHNKY General Crow, of Mis sxmri, has entered proceedings in the courts of that State to dissolve the Democratic trust known as the St. Louis Transit Company, owners of the street'car lines in that city.

The law creating the trust was passed by a Democratic legislature and signed by a Democratic Governor. Crow was in office at the time of its passage but did not lift a hand against it. The trust law was all right until it te- gan to damage his chaffces for reelection, then he rushed into court to undo what his party had done. His repentance is rather late. It is a good deal like Tom Jett's of this State.

When he had the opportunity to sit down hard on the trusts, he voted for them in Congress. Now that he sees his chances of re-election endangered, he is making wonderful onslaughts on them with his mouth. But Mr. Jett well knows that It is votes that counts. SENATOR CULLOM speaks freely on the Chinese question.

While at Galesburg on Thursday he said: "A special session of Congress is not now necessary. I think the President in his position, so far, has done right. If he should call a special session of Congress, what sort of, a message could he send it? There are only wild rumors, and very little definite information is known. We will send our share of troops if necessity requires. For one, I don't think we want to join in conquest for territory in China.

We are ready to do what is right and necessary for the protection of our people there. We can not ignore the killing of our ambassador, and other ciUzens of this country. The national honor demands reparation. Just what form this should take I can not now say. We do not want territory.

"While the Chinese are guilty of atrocious acts, they have some excuse. The foreign nations have been appropriating parts of their country. Even we have passed a law excluding them from the United States. The Democratic party, I notice, is keeping still on this question. I saw Senator Allen in Burlington and tried to draw him out, but I could not get a word from him.

They are a "great" people. They are waiting to see what will turn up, and are afraid." one THE mystery as to the safety of the foreign ministers at Pekln is as great as ever. Russia has a report that they are all dead, while from Shan Tung comes another report that they are still alive. These two reports offset one another, if indeed any credence can bo given to any story coming Ing from China as to the ministers. If the ministers are dead, the persons in control at Pekin would not give it out, nor allow the truth to bo told by.

others, for woll they know tho day of reckoning would come. It is probable that tho Russian rumor has more foundation than the other. About tho only way that the facts can become known will be when the allied forces reach Pokin in sufficient force to take the city, and that will lake There is one phaso of the case that looks gloomy for the safety of the foreigners, if tho authorities wore strong enough to protect thorn they would find means to semi positive proof of it to the outside world. Tho conditions are such, however, that as long us wo have no decided proof of tho doutii of thu ministers wo can indulge in hope. "Misery Loves Company" is an old and trite adage, which has been illustrated recently in the case of the Sentinel-Democrat That sheet has disrupted its own party in Alton, In the county, and In the Congressional district.

The miserable old thing would now like to see the Republican party in the same boat. It is trying to create divisions Republicans, and if that were possible the Sentinel-Democrat would be successful. In an existence of'12 or 15 years that paper has been successful along one line Its own party is divided into two camps, one of which is led by the editor of the. Upon the shoulders of Ihe Sentinel Democrat must fall the deplorable condition of the Democratic party In Alton, in the county and in the district. By its Machiavellan course Alton, which ten years ago gave a Democratic majority of 100 to 150, now gives a Republican majority of as much; by the same course Madison was changed from a Democratic majority of 350 in 1802, to a Republican majority of 1,000 to 1,500 in 181)4, 'Oli, '08.

if Congressman Jett is defeated next fall, tho generally known as Old Jonah, will be largely responsible therefor. It has done its work of disrupting its own party most efficiently and is therefore entitled to tho thanks of the TELK- UHAPH and every Republican In Madison county. It has been an able assistant, whoso services are appreciated by all Republicans, and tho hope Ifi, eagerly indulged that the Sentinel' Democrat will continue its good work of breaking up tho Democratic party in tho interest of tho Republican party. or Bruises, Sprains or sores, burns or scalds, wounds ov cuts, totter or all quickly cured by Uannor Salvo, the most healing medicine in the world.
