A Promise FULFILLED.

little more than year age we published
in these columns notice of the discovery Of
Sheridan's Condition Powder to make hens
lay In making that announcement we re-
lied wholly upon the character and reputa-
tion of the manufacturers. To our own
mind. at that time the idea of making hens
lay the year round by artificial or other
means, seemed absurd, but we have since
learned that it can be done The notice
alluded to above attracted universal attention,
and thousands of people, while not believing
that Sheridan's Powder could accomplish all
that was claimed for il, thought it was at least
worth trial. The trial was made during
Dece mber, January and February. No other
months could have been selected which
would have given this Powder so severe a
test for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these
months except in rare cases. But the
result Of this trial was most satisfactory and
conclusive. Hundreds of those who made
the trial received from l8 to "a eggs per hen
per month, while many got one egg a day
from each hen. The price Of eggs during
December, January and February last, aver
aged 80 to 80 cents per dozen. Thus it will
be seen that a very few hens each laying an
egg day would support small family. /.

RUMoRs OF THE CzAR,s DEATH.

Tragic Orisin-The Czar shoots One

for few moments this morning by extrav-
agent ruMors of the Cars death. The re-
port spread like wild fire and in msny COM
munities created panic An official denial
however, soon came from the palace and the
wild feelings OF fear and excitement were
soon sllayed.
The whole story had its origin in the shoot
ing of an officer by the Car. 1t seems that
an aid-de-csmp, Count Reutern, was await
ing the Car in the royal palace last night.
The weather being warm the count unbut-
toned his tunic. The Gar returned sooner
than expected and Reutern arose hurriedly
and began TO rebutton his tunic. The Gar
thinking that the officer was about to draw
weapon shot him dead.
The Cars action was hssty and is ascribed
TO feelings of nervousness which for some
time past have been troubling him exceed
ingly. He has possessed strange hallucina-
tions and of late has been imagining that new
dangers beset him on every hand.
Another trouble in the Cars household is
the illness of the Czsrewitch This was first
noticed five years ago, when he began to suf-
fer from heart disease, epileptic attacks and
rheumatism. The only physician who had
the courage to tell the truth was Professor
Hoffman and vino was thereupon made the
victim of the furious rage of the Gar and
has not since been consulted. The patients
symptoms have gradually increased in sever
ity and he is now suffering from a compica-
tion of affections of the lungs

FALSE REPORTS
Regarding DIsaIlowances by the Second
Controller of the Signal Service.
WASHINGTON. [

WASHINGTON, Oct. 90.
Ger. Hasen, when asked bv reporter this
evening regarding the disallowances BY the
second controller of the signal service ac-
counts, said
the published announcement of the mil
lion dollar allowance is very misleading, and
that Capt. Mills and Lieut.. Craig were not
bonded is incorrect. A fair statement would
have included the fact that these disallow-
8nces were based on alleged informaities
and that these expenditures were based on
the orders of the secretary of war, upon the
precedent of fifteen years and approval, and
a settlement of these accounts had been made
previously by the treasury department The
question of copies of kilograms not being filed
with the accounts, is simply this The new
controller, see the regulation referring to
a portion Of the army, that copies of kilograms
should accompany the accounts. enormously
assumed that il pertained to signal service,
when, in fact. it didn't and never had done so
and his whole claim now rests on this error,
which he adheres to now that all the apparent
ground for it has been swept away. 1t is on
this alone he claimed that half q million had
been mlsapplied. To these facts he replied
that copies were necessary for the accounting
officers TO audit, but this is not true, because
of all the eight great debts of the government
none but portion of the war department
ever furnish any copies for this purpose ="

excitement Among Southwestern Ne.
sroes-A Coiored Secret Society Brings
Back Memories of the X. II. N.

JEFFERSON, Tex, Oct %.
The colored population of Cass county ,
Texas, are in state of great excitement
over hu klux raid, made at DouglasviIle
the other night.
The trouble arose from the recent orgaui-
zatlon OF a secrer society smsng the colored
men, the aims and objects OF which are a
profound mystery to the white population.
1t seems that several months ago a negro
from Little Rock, Arkansas, appeared among
the settlers, inlating about 2500 negroes, in
Cass and Marian counties, into the mysteries
OF this new order. The report finally gained
currency that the mysterious society was or
ganlzed for the assassination of obnoxious
whlte planters and TO drive them out of the
country oy burning their property and worry
ing them until hey were willing TO sell out
at heavy sacrifices.
The rumors of coming assassination grew
so frequent and wide spread that hundreds of
white families were alarmed. Last Sunday
evening about 20 masked horsemea entered
Donglasville during a church meeting and AT
the point of their shot guns marched four of
the leading officers of the new secret society
TO the house where an iron box was kent,
which WAS thought to contain list of the
marked men. No such document was found
but many papers were in the box bearing lists
or names OF colored men. Although the four
negro leaders were beaten with the gun bar
rels they persisted in refusing to tell oolects
of the mysterious society. The papers were
all returned to the iron box and the raiders
left the village baffied.
White citizens at Douglasville, Queen
City, and Atlanta and Linden have since held
meetings and denounced the outrage, which
has served somewhat TO allay the excitement
among the negroes, who vow vengeance if
any further attempt to pry into their secrets
and private affairs is made.
Cass county has a population of 10000
people, nearly two-thirds OF whom are ne
gfoes ANY trouble between blacks and
whites in that section would result seriously.

Fort Independence, in Boston harbor
which is garrisoned by a solitary soldier, was
invaded last night while the garrison was
sleeping and some amount of property,
though not very valuable, stolen. The num-
Der of the besiegers was double that of the
garrison and consisted of Lenergan and Jas
Baxter. who, emboldened ly their success,
proceeded across the harbor intending to cap
ture Fort Winthrop. The garrison there was
on the alert, however, and by brilliant flank
movement succeeded in capturing the enemy,
which outaumbered him two to one. He
turned them over to the police. The public
generally will be surprised to learn that two
armed fortresses are defended, one by sin
gle warrior and the other by civilian watch
man.
