They say if the negro can be unloaded
from the Republican party and allowed

two years by the addition of
at least one hundred thousand white votes
from among the most intelligent wealthy
and influential people of the State, and that
cattlemen, their employees, and friends can
be secured almost bodily. This movement
organized at Dallas to-day will spread.

fire had also been kindled at the base of
the steeple of the Presbyterian Church. The

enforcement of the prohibition law. The
owner of large skating rink who had
rented the building for temperance con-

morning to cancel the lease. The barn of

ST. Louis. Nav 5.-Today Moses Fraley
notified all his Chicago creditors that he was
prepared to settle all his accounts BY paying
100 cents on the dollar and asked them TO
send their statements, as he wants to clear
off his Indebtedness. Mr.. Fraley's creditors
had offered to settle with him at 333 cents,
but he declined the proposition and has noti-
fed them all, not only in Chicago but in
New York, Philadelphia and other points.
He will pay dollar for dollar and requests
them to draw on him for the amounts due.
The aggregate Indebtedness outstanding is
$3.50, 900, of which $ls0,0OO is due in Chi
cago. This, with margins paid prior to the
suspension, makes Fraleys total losses over
$6GO,O0O. His action in pay.ng dollar for
dollar, particularly in face of the proposition
of his creditors to settle at much less fig
urc, is highly commended by all classes of
dealers here, and he has received quite a
number of very complimentary dispatches
