How long since you found that out Mr.
Bonham News? You should have kept
that to yourself until there was reward
offered for it, and then you might have
made a raise. You are to generous by
half.
that:
The Wheel rolls in anger about the Post.
Sorry to see it. The Post, under Mr..
Johnston, is such a vast improvement
over the old order, that we would be very
glad indeed to see it go on and on.
And what is to prevent it from going
on? Nothing the Wheel may say will affect
it for better or worse.
Dallas now has but one morning and
one afternoon paper, the former being
the News and the latter the Times. With
such a field, and no opposition, both
properly managed. In speaking of these
papers, the Fort Worth Gazette remarks
| that:
Dallass seems to be an unhappy place
for daily papers. The World, the Even
ing News, the Evening Journal, the Dem
ocrat and the Herald are all dead. The
epidemic is fearfully fatal. "Hurrah for
the next that goes"
| The STATESMAN can't see where that
'hurrah" comes in.
The Dallas News has found out that:
An old lady of Buffalo died few days
ago, and left the bulk of her property to
a young lady who had assisted her in get
ting off a street car. The result is that if
an old lady on Buffalo street car now
moves in her seat, not less than four young
ladies grab and haul her toward the door.
That being the case, there must always
be five persons in Buffalo car when an
old lady travels in one.

CuRE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times SYMPTOMS of indigestion are pre-
sent, fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture like perspiration, pro-
ducing very disagreeable itching after
getting warm is common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and itching piles yield at
once to the application of DIR. Bosanko's
Pile Remedy, which acts directly on the
parts affected, absorbing the tumors'
allaying intense itching, and effecting a
permanent cure. Price so cents. Address,
The DIR. Bosanke Medicine Co., Piqua, o.

Advocates of prohibition need have no
fear of ''PRICKLY ASH B1TTERs,'' as it is
medicine, and by reason of its cathartic
properties cannot be used as beverage.
1t is manufactured from the purest ma
terials and acts directly on the liver, kid
neys, stomach and bowels. AS blood
purifier it has no equal. 1t is pleasant to

ANSWER TO QUERIES.

To SUBSCRIBER: In answer to your
question as to whether the word "suit, "
instead of ''suite," in speaking of series
or collection of rooms, it is almost impos-
sible to assert that either is correct to the
exclusion of the other. "Suite" is more
genteel, and hence more in use among
those who speak English correctly.
While, on the other hand, "suit" is used
by equally as good authority, and gener-
ally because it is considered more in ac-
cordance with our mother tongue.

MARTINS VALLEY, PENN, August 49,
Mrs. Sarah TRULY, of this place, is an aged
widow; her son John, aged "A, worked on
the East Branch railroad; Jason, another
son, aged 81, was an employe of the state
quarries; Wyman, another son, SS years
old, was miller; they all lived with their
mother, having no families of their own.
On Friday last John, while running to turn
a switch, fell into cattle guard and broke
his neck; before the news of Johns death
reached his home Jason fell into pit in
the quarry, which the recent rains
had filled with water, and was drowned
James Whitaker arrived in the village
at 9 O'Clock Saturday morning with the
news of John Truby'S death. and met Will
liam Jackson, who was bearing the tidings
of Jason's fate. The two walked together
to where Wyman worked, to break the
news to him first. There was a crowd
about the mill. AS the two messengers ar
rived on the scene, men were carrying
Wyman Truby's dead body out of the
building. He had been suffocated in a
grain bin. Less than two hours intervened
between the death of the first brother and
the last one. The news of the death of her
three sons so prOstrated Mrs. TRULY that
her life is despaired Of. The three bodies
will be buried in one grave.

A Good job.

ATLANTA, GA, August 2O.-Last night a
band of kuklux, supposed to be from Muir
ray county, went to Dalton and cleaned up
the lawless element of the town. They
went to disreputable boarding house,
kept by Armstead Mackin, and beat the oc-
cupants. Tom Turner's house, of similar
character, was visited. Turner offered re-
sistance. and was killed. Other houses
were visited and the occupants whipped. A
white man boarding with negroes was Or
dered to leave the town or suffer the con-
sequences. The party then paid a
visit to the house Of William Kidd, in
search of Bill Kidd, notorious man, and a
number Of shots were exchanged. 1t is not
known whether Kidd was hurt or not. The
Kidd establishment was demolished, it be-
ing disreputable. The mob took in all the
disreputable houses, regardless of the color
of the occupants, and then went to the
mayors office and left list Of those under
mob surveillance. The whole affair was an
effort so rid Dalton of the bad characters
that infest the town.

miners and laborers employed at Lentz,
Lilly & Co.'s colliery here were recently
notified by the clerk that 10 per cent re-
duction in all wages would take place at
once. The men held a meeting and re-
solved not to accept a reduction. The
mules were therefore hoisted up from the
the mine and mine closed. On Tuesday Hun
garians and Poles were set to work about
the mine, and although the striking
miners watched their movements closely.
no disturbance occurred until quite
late in the evening, when the
foreigners were attacked. The excitement
brought to the scene crowds of persons. In
less than ten minutes the fight became gen.
eral, and was participated in by 100 men
and boys. All sorts Of missiles were used
From fifteen to twenty persons were seri-
ously, and several hnngarians fatally, in
iured. AS soon as one man was disabled
he was carried away and the battle re-
newed. The Hungarians fought desperately
and showed q determination not to leave
the place Yesterday they returned to
work. They have not since been interfered
with. Another encounter is expected, how

A Law Unto Himself.

CRAwFoRDsv1LLE, IND, August 49,
Noah Lockabill, a farmer residing near
Brownsville, succeeded in overpowering
three tramps who attempted to burglarize
his house, Saturday night. He then gave
them their choice Of the law or receiving
such whipping as he might give them
They chose the latter, and the farmer tied
them to gate post and administered 100
lashes to each tramp with large raw
hide. Each stroke raised a huge welt on
the back of the tramp, and when the oper-
alton was completed a pool of blood could
be seen where they had stood. Their pit
quite little audience had assembled to
witness the castigation of tramp No. 8. AS
all sympathized with the irate farmer, the
performance went on until he completed
the 100 lashes.
