low when he first came in the TOmbs,
but afterwards, after he got going to his
trial and being made much of, he be-
came so proud that no one was hardly
good enough to do anything for him.
He was careful to have his hair long in
front instead of behind. His head was
of long shape, and he wanted to hide
this for some reason. The morning be-
fore he was to be hung he said he would
want no more shaving, and said to me:
Frank, it's my last, so do your best and
make me look your prettiest, because |
am going to swing with my friend Sin
dram, and don't care to be bad looking
when they uncover my face, for some
friends have promised to see that 1 am
carefully buried, and that's all care for
now.' He seemed to think nothing of
his being hung, but was afraid he would
not get a good burial. When he was
done with me he presented me with a
nice meerschaum cigar-hOlder, which i
now have.

MEMPHIS, TENN, February 49,
The Appeals special tonight from He
lena says: There is no abatement of
the disasters that have Overtaken the
planters of the Mississippi Valley,
caused by the overflow of the Missis-
sippi river between Memphis and
Vicksburg. For three weeks they have
been battling, not only with the ele-
ments from above for it has ralned
almost daily during this period), but
inch by inch the mighty river has
been encroaching upon them, until
now there is but a dreary ,watery waste
extending fully fifteen miles inland
from either bank. The destruction to
dwellings, stock and lands cannot now
be properly estimated. There have
been innumerable breaks in the lev
ees, and the outlook for the future is
anything but hopeful. Cattle and hogs
have been drowned by the hundreds,
barns have been swept away, and their
contents wasted, mules and horses are
suffering, and the loss to planters by
these mishaps cannst but have its eff
feet in cramping their facilities for
putting in their crop for the ear.
These conditions OF affairs exist to
an alarming extent in Crittenden, Lee
and Phillips counties, Arkansas, and
i'm De Soto, ,Tunica and Coahoma coun-
ties, Miss. These are the largest cot
ton growing counties in the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley, and what is true of them is
also true of others that have suffered in
similar manner.
Starvation is threatening many poor
people, whose houses line the banks OF
the streams that have overflOwed. In
some instances cabins have been found
wherein are negroes, hogs and mules,
all gathered under one shelter, await
ing the -eceding of the river that has
in it's mad fury, driven them to seek
safety by flight to the highlands.
The latest break occurred last night
about three hundred yards above Aus
tin, Miss. This will overflow the Ell
tire country between Austin and Fri
ar's Point, distance of 35 miles.

and resolution We're adopted:
WHEREAS, The Legislature of Utah,
now in session in Ibis city today adopt
ed "a concurrent resolution protesting
against the passage by Congress of any
bills DISTINGUISHING polygamists, but
instead thereof praying Congress to
send committee to investigate the

polygamous bluff, IA trick to gain time,
that if it wins these very men will
claim il as divine interpositiOn i'm
favor of pOlygamy, and use it to excite
the masses of the Mormon people
against the just authority of the ma

poses the condition Of things i'm Utah
without the Intervention of an inves-

NJ Marching Along.

Pomeroy's Great West
How this country and people are
marching along! A little more than
100 years have passed since the Gov
ernment of the United States was
formed. Now see the number ol
thieves in office!
Till 1927 the lighting of houses by
gas was unknown, and now see the
number of politicians and dead-beats
who have no other means of subsist-
ance than gas.
Till 1852 friction matches were un-
known, and now they are taxed so
that poor man cannot light candle
at night to see to get up and give his
sick child medicine without paying a
tax to bondholders.
1t was not until 1859 that petroleum
first came into general use, and now it
kills its hundreds of careless idiots each
year.
The Atlantic was threated success
fully by the Atlantic cable in 1858 and
old fogyism had the lumpy-pOps for
months, swearing it could not be done
till the whales were all killed, so they
would not break the wires. Now the
ocean is like wire fence with its
cables, and the damphoolishness of
one country and people is table-talk at
breakfa in six other countries within
twenty four hours.
Not till 1910 could daguerreotype
picture be taken in this country now
see where we are with nearly every
house as well supplied with albums as
with babies.
Fifty years ago we had 13,000,0 600
population, and now more than 81, ,0O0,-
QUO lecture book agents and politicians
full grown or embryo occupy this
ri tod of l,n
and the home of the brave.
In 1880 there were but $50 banks in
the United States, and now there are
more than $500, and these control
the Government as the money lenders
did the Temple of the Lord previous
to the whip exercise there inaugurated
by Jesus Christ.
II was not until 1918 that Rey. John
Dodge, of Monkton, Vermont, idvent-
ed a sewing machine that would not
work, and now the profits on them to
monopolists amount to more than
eleven millions dollars per year, and
woman puts more work on one dress
than half the farmers put on a farm in
two years.
In the year 33, Jesus Christ, the son
of God, brought only thirty pieces of
silver in the market, and now menu
ber of Congress can get from $4,000 to
$75, 900 year for his vote, and a MEM
ber of the Legislature can have annual
passes for himself and all his creditors.
In 1907, on Bureau Hill, Boston, the
first railroad track ever seen in the
United States was laid. 1t was for the
purpose of hauling gravel from the
hill top to Charles street. In 1928 a
six mile railroad was built for the
transportation of granite to build the
Bunker Hill monument, and oxen
were the propeliing power, with boy
ahead with IA whip to keep The cows
away. Now the country is gridironed
with railroads, and therein million
aires sit and play poker at $500 ante
and $1,000; where newspapers are
printed, colored porters give bcrths to
men, and women give birth to babies
at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
IL does seem that we are marching
along right lively.

a Sh Ocking Crime.

Rock RAPIDS, Iowa, February 16.-
Before the COroner's jury who are in
vestigating the murder of John Lana
han, who was killed sitting near a win
dow Saturday night, Maggie, his old
est daughter, confessed that she did
the shooting. She also i'm pIicated her
mother, her sister Anna, and the lat
Ier's lover, young man named Birch.
The girl testified that it had been
agreed between them some time ago,
I" to put the old man out of the way"
at the earliest opportunity. Birch fur
nished the pistol, and when her father
came home from farmers club meet
ing and was about to sit down, she
stepped up behind him and fred, kill
ing him instantly. She then arranged
the body so as to appear rs if some one
had shot him through the window,
while her sister Anna went ont and
broke the glass. As 10 her motive for
the crime, Maggie testified that Birch
wanted to marry Anna, and her father
refused. He also did not provide well
for them. The mother and the other
daughter corroborated this testimony.
Birch at one time lived with the fami-
Iy and was driven from the house by
Lanahan, who suspected him of GRIM
inal intimacy with his wife and dauglI-
ters. All the parties implicated are
under arrest, and the greatest excite-
ment prevails.

Congress not to he deferred from per-

attitude only because their ordinary
attitude of defiance will not apparently

that there need be no fear of Il convul-

DETROIT, February ia very bold
and successful robbery was committed
before noon in the County
Treasurer's Office in the City Hall,
Treasurer Crosby alone being in at the
time, which fact was doubtless fully
understood beforehand by the thieves.
One man went in and desired to pay
his taxes, and went to the window
farthest from the door, calling for the
ward numbered at that window,
While the Treasurer was hunting up
the description given, a confederate
thief stepped in at the door left ajar,
hastily went to the money drawer,
took what bills he could grab, and left
The noise of his operations attracted
the notice of the Treasurer, who saw
the thief as he disappeared through
the door. An alarm was Instantly
given, but the thief escaped, as did the
first man, in the excitement of the
moment. The amount taken was $3.50.

IN speaking of Chinese Cheap Labor
and in opposition to a bill introduced
in Congress prohibiting immigration
of the Chinese the Cleveland Leader
says:
If Congress is to bar the door against
cheap labor, let it begin with the igno-
rant hOrdes which are annually dump
ed upon our shores from Ireland, Italy,
and other European countries. Their
name is legion. Thousands of them
settle down in our large cities and
compete with American labor in it's
various spears. When it comes down
to the real question of cheap labor, it
is the European rather than the Chi
naman whom we have to fear.
The conspicuous position of Irish in
the above should be noticed by the
good Republicans who are bidding SO
hard for Irish support in this county.
And the attentive foreign born men
and their sons. will see therein the
on croE ping again of detestable Know
Noihingism. The Leader of course
overlooks the fact that the Chinese are
an inferior race, and that the attempt
to incorporate many more inferior peo-
pie with our own, whether black or
yellow, may serve to drag the higher
down rather than lift the lower up.
Coolies would make worthy Republi-
cans, no doubt, if NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mrs. SCovILLE has written letter
to Mrs. Garfield, pleading with her to
intercede for the life of Guiteau. She
asks Mrs. Garfield to forgive Guiteau
for killing her husband because he was
insane and did not know what he was
doing. J. III. Rhodes, Esq, says he is
authorized to say in behalf of Mrs.
Garfield, that toward the slayer of her
husband she cherishes no malice; he
must answer alone to his God and the
American people. For the sister and
all members of his family she feels
ONLY profound pity. Further than this
she asks to be left alone with her sor-
row, and to be spared being dragged
into useless and torturing publicity.

THE supreme Court of Kansas has

THE Supreme Court of Kansas has
declared unconstitutional so much of
the recent prohibitory law there as
provides punishment for drunkenness,
on the ground that this provision is
not expressed in the title of the law.
The court holds that if man can le-
gally get possession of liquor he can
make himself or his neighbor drunk
with it at his own sweet will. OF
course, if he becomes disorderly while
drunk, he is punishable for that, but
so long as he behaves himself no one
has any authority to ointerfere with the
glorious privilege of an American free
man to get tight as brick.

STILL ANOTHER.


A frightful fire visited Haverhill,
Mass, last Friday night, which de-
stroyed much of the business portion
of the town before it was got under
control. But one block remains on
Wingate street and two at the upper
end of Washington street. All Else in
the square bounded by the Merrimac
river on the south, Washington square
and Essex street on the east, the north
side of Wingate street on the north and
the railroad square on the west was
burned to the ground. This territory
embraces the largest part of the boot
and shoe manufactures. The loss cam
not be estimated at present. Joseph
Pratt, fireman, was killed, and
George Whittier fatally injured.
Over three hundred business firms
were burned out and the Boston Jour-
nal estimates the loss at two and a-half
millions, and says the most dreadful
feature of the calamity is the loss of
life, and the awful uncertainty caused
many anxious hearts. tits feared that
the bodies of n score or more Of prom
inent business men are buried i'm the
ruins. The city marshal states that
three men are missing, and that the
spread Of the flames was SO rapid that
they were unable 10 escape. a d
