Patrick Sweeney arrived In town yes.
terday and proclaimed himself . "South-
ern Irishman" Of the cantankercus ana
invincible type that fears neither man
nor devil. Being allowed little latitude
he took great deal more, and finally be.
came 80 obstreperous that the Police had
to arrest him. Being as he said q "South.
ern Irishman;" he could not brook the
indignity ofarrest by Northern Irish
man, so stout resistance was the con.
sequence. After a severe struggle he
was delivered at the jail. Tailor Ne
Hale was In the act Of searching him,
according 10 custom, when he drew back
and closed his bunch Of fiyss
In manner that betokened what
he Is pleased to term one OF his ',joe-
darters." But an admonition from Nc
Hale that he had "better not,' had its
effect, and the search was concluded.
Mac then opened the door Of the Gals
boose and bid Mr.. Sweeney TO enter. He
obeyed, but while in the act Of doing %
gave McHale q kick and blow that
would have felled an ordinary man TO the
ground on the instant. Mac is, ordinaYi-

was too much for him. Selecting his

his fist off Of It, and the result was Mr..
Patrick Sweeney didn't speak again un-

HOMICIDE AT ANNA
Mans Throat Cut with Pocket Knife


Z The ordinary quiet and sober little
town Of Anna was thrown into perfect
maelstron ofexcitement Saturday night,
by the announcement that one -Dupss
had been killed at the hands Of Robert
Whitehead. The friends Of both parties
had somewhat different tale to tell
about the fatal encounter, but as we re-
ceived cur Information from a gentleman
who is entirely disinterested we are In.
clined to accept 1t as correct. 1t is SUBJ
stantially as follows:
Dupas and Whitehead met in one of
the saloons Saturday night, and added
several drinks Of liquor to what almost
any reasonable man would have assured
them was already quantun, su6ict.
Thus fired up, they became both talka.
tive and positive. A difference OF opin-
ion on some subject led to angry words
and angry words to bout at fisticufYs.
Before they had had time to pummel
each other very severely they were
separated by the by-standers. Here IL
was thought the matter would drop, by
almost everybody except Dupas. Hs APP
peared dissatisfied with the result and
sought an early opportunity to renew
the fuss. He attacked Whitehead with
the fury Of q mailman. Whitehead, de-
termined to defend himself with effect,
drew his pocket knife, and dealing Du-
pas two swiping blows with 1t terminated
the conflict. The second blow separated
Dupas wind.pipe and death ensued In
less than quarter Of an hour. Beyond
this, we obtained no particulars.

Two or three months ago, a young man
by the name Of Misenhimer, killed q
young German named Demurmeith, In
the neighboring village Of Dongola, un-
der circumstances that exasperated the
the entire community. The parties were
at a hall, and Misenhimer took umbrage
at something Demurmeith said or did,
and Insisted on a fight. Demurmeith
spoiogized, and did all he could to paci-
fy Misenhimer. hut tn no purpose. 10
avoid trouble he finally left the ball room
and started home: Misenhimer gather
cd bludgeon, and overhauling him

Bailatag IN Cairo.
The Metropolis Times has what the
editor considers ''reliable authority" for
saying that there are only two buildings
In course Of construction in Cairo, viz:
the custom house and another. II
there was premium on truth the Times
informant wouldn't win prize once In
q century. There are quite number Of
buildings going up In Cairo-buiiding
that will cost In the aggregate = sum
that will exceed the cash value Of the
entire town Of Metropolis. For the In.
form alton ofthe Times we will mention
a few Of the principal ones that occur to
our mind ut this writing: The custom
house, at cost Of $3.50, 900, residence OF
Mr.. Gallagher $4,000; Catholic church
10000; residence Of T. w. Halliday,
esq, $1,000; st. Mary's Infirmsry, sl5,-
600; Bureau school house. $1,000
making total Of 1927, 900. Aside from
these there are dozen or more residen-
ces going up that will cost from $500 to
$1,000 each.
We are free to confess, however, not
withstanding this showing, that building
is unusually slack In Cairo.

GENTLEMEN; DR.. LIGHTHILL expects t,
visit your city soon, and for the benefit o
the suffering wish to say, through you
to your very extensive acquaintance il

Lighthill can do all for the suffering tha
can be afforded by skill. science and 8
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DR.. Llghthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in.
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had bafled the skill all. DR..
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
II may be proper to state that when Mise
Mitchnm went under DIR. LighthilPs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DIR. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,

The FESTIVAL of the Passover

The Jews commenced yesterday the cell

ton of the last punishment of the Egyp-
tians by the Lord, for their cruelty and
expressions towards the Children of Isreal.
A full history of the events and the institu-
ton of the Passover may be found in
Exodus beginning with the 1lth Chapter.
So signal was the favor Of God in this
instance, that it was commanded that "lhis
month should be the beginning Of months
the first month of the year unto the Chill
dren of Israel" The feast begins on the
l4lh of the month, and continues eight
days, during which no lesvened bread is
10 be eaten. The Jews also have various
other observances during the period of the
Passover, which are prescribed in the Old
Testament. Ga the first two nights Of the
festival, the master of the house relates to
his family the redemption of their fore
fathers from the bondage of Egypt, and
sings praises and thanksgivings to God for
his gracious kindness and mercy, NANTES.
