CHAPTER XXI.

For Murder? The very word paralyzed
me: and looked at the man in utter con-
sternation.

"Who are YOUR

piled the fellow, cooIlv. I'm the first place,
are YOU going to make shindy. or are YOU
coming along GuietIy?'
As he spoke, two policemen in uniform en-
tered the room. He nodded to them; and,
with the utmost sang fro d. felt in his pock-
ct and drew out a pair of handouts.
''Oh, Hughr' cried Annie. wildly. What
is it? What have you doneg'
Without answering her, looked wildly at
the men: then, acting on mad impulse and
quite without reflection. rushed to the door.
In moment the men threw themselves ,IIp-
on me, and there was a brief but fierce strug-
gle; but my strength was of no avail, and in
couple of minutes was Overpowered and
handcuffed.
The men in plain clothes, who had first adj
dressed me, looked at me with grim smile.
You're bold chap" he said: "but it's no
use You'd have done much better to have
come along quietly. Now lOOk'ee here. I've
got to tell you that whatever you say, from
this moment forward, will be used in evl-
dence against YOU"
For Gods sake, expIainr answered.

The man smiled again.

OPINION OF AN EXPERT.
Mrs. Mary Ii. welch, Teacher of Domestic
Economy at State University of Iowa.

"My deliberate Judgment is that the oven
of the Range, as compared with others
is not only more equally heated in every
part-front as well as rear-but as a result
of its superior ventilation tho food placed
therein is better cooked, while retaining
sweeter flavor, and a larger proportion of
Its best juices. have found, also, that the
consumption of fuel in this Range for a given
amount of work, is much less than any other"

THE DRUmMERs, TRIUMPH.

The decision of the United States Supreme court that the law of Michigan which i'm poses tax upon ''liquor drummers' is un- constitutional is of interest to all who "drum' and all who are ''drummed." Yhe upon the case held that the tax imposed by the act is an exercise of the police power of the State for the Encouragement of the use of intoxicating liquors and the preservation of the health and morals of the people. The Supreme court of the United States holds that this would be a perfect justification of the act if it did not discriminate against the citizens and the products of other States, and thus usurp one of the prerogatives of the national legislature.
 The opinion does not hold that State may not impose tax upon commercial tray elers. It admits that the Michigan statute would be within the power of the State had it's provisions been made applicable to resi- dent and nonresident salesmen alike and to the products of Michigan and those of other States equally. A State has 8 right to tax drummers, but not to tax those from other States while exempting its own citizens. It AAoS q 1O G6A III uOIS UT O1A0I SOOuS, puV it has no right to tax the products of other States and exempt its own. The law must be general and make no distinction between citizens and non-residents, between home and foreign productions. It is discrimina- tion against other States that is unconstitu- tional.
 This decision took load off the minds of the committees from the Commercial Trav- elers' associations who have been making arguments before the Commerce committees of the Senate and House at Washington i'll support of bills to prohibit the assessment of taxes in the shape of license fees upon them by the States and cities in which they sell by samples. The decision applies to every State and territory, and the drummers will no longer be compelled to pay for licenses in other States than those in which they reside. They are very large, useful and active body Of men, and there are many reasons why they should be left free to do business.

NEr. Harrfs,s Life.

Joel c. Harris, the famous humorist of The Atlanta (Ga.l Constitution, has had strange ly romantic career. His father was mis- sionary, and it was at the small town of Boog- hia, on the southern coast of Africa, that Joel was born. He was educated by his father, and is profound Sanscrit scholar, beside be- ing thoroughly versed in Hebraic and Bud dhist literature. Just before the civil war he en1igrated to America, and taught school in village near Lake Teeteelootchkee, Fla. There he fell in love with Sallie o. Curtis, daughter of a wealthy planter, and soon was engaged by Colonel Curtis as private tutor. The parents made no objection to their daughters choice of husband, but the war came on before the marriage could take place, and so Colonel Curtis and Mir. Harris went away to the war. The Colonel lost all his property during the strife, and at the bat tie of Columbia, sc, a grapeshot tore his leg into shreds. When the war closed Miss Sallie died of yellow fever, and Mir. Harris became tho support and comfort of the maimed sire of his dead sweetheart. The two yet live together in a vine-covered cottage near Atlanta. Mr. Harris is hardly forty years of age, but his snow-white hair tells the sorrow of his life. He is noted for his generosity, his suitability and his tender ness

 The San Francisco Bulletin insists that when Secretary Seward paid $7, ,200,0 600 for Ala5ka he made good bargain. To most Ameri- it will be news that since 1867, when the territory came into our possession, Alas ka has begun to make record as a bullion producer, shown the finest growth of timber on the continent and opened up fairly four ishing agricultural region. The lowest esti- mate of the forest wealth of Alaska places the visible supply of valuable timber at 570, 000, 900 feet, a very large part of it at once accessible to manufacture and shipment, as mills can be built where ships can lie be- side them. The Bulletin advises that the government survey its 100000 acres of timber land, thereby more than paying the cost of the territory, attracting population and adding to the revenue derivable from this.s northern possession. As for agricu1- ture, the summers are short but warm, and it is believed that when future settlement tests the capabilities of the interior soil and climate, it will be found as fruitful as Min nesota for crops not requiring long period of ripening.

ing sight on a coach dog that was an inter ested spectator in the proceedings, he swung around and fixed himself in what he thought was good kicking distance and then he let go both heels. He had, with the glasses, misjudged his distance and missed, most unnatural thing with mule. Such look of disgust as that mule threw on me I never saw. His ears hung limp, and the dropping upper lip gave him the most woebegone look ever saNs and he simply sat down on the heels that he thought were useless ever more, and could almost swear I saw tears ready to flow from his eyes.
 "Then he got mad and began a promiscu- ous kicking, and before long there was a good supply of firewood lying in the stable He smashed the glasses and a half dozen other pairs that I afterwards put on him and J could not get him used to them. I gave up after awhile and concluded that a mule is 'an onery cus' and doesn't want to be bene- fted by science'

When asked what he desired, he arose and, in a Dolite manner asked the teacher if ''he might have the pleasure of escofting her home after school" The girls laughed, the boys looked cross, and the teacher accepted.

To the Editor Of FIR LEADER
We admit there was a meeting held
night before last for the purpDs of allow.
ing each colored voter and citizen to voice
their sentiments as to who they desired to
have placed before the Republican county
convention for nomination as representa-
tive in the next legislature, but as
to the colOred people being torn up for
several days as to the merits of the two
rivals, Messrs. Cushinberry and Ashford,
they have not. 1t is an open and con-
ceded fact that Mr.. C~ushinberry possesses
more qualifications as a legislator than
any o.her colored aspirant for the same
place. He has an envied reputation. and
an unimpeachable character, which was
the basis of the dissension. 1t was claim
ed for Mr.. Ashford that he could poll
more votes in a certain portion Of the city
than Mr.. C%ushinberry, because Mr.. Ash.
ford had more dealings with that class Of
people. This might be conducive to Mr..
Ashtord's interest and popularity, but
here remains a doubt.
We also admit that a ballot was taken
on the choice Of the TWO aspirants, but the
ballot was not counted, Tor the reason that
fraud was detected and challenged. Sec
/ ond. a number Of while citizens voted.
Third, persons who were not citizens
voted Fourth, some voted two and three
TINA. otbar. p,t ~ go,,or,I b,Il.t. rro
ped together, Fifth. several did not have
an opportunity to cast their vote, owing
to.the uproar. Mr.. Cushinberry and his
numerous friends, seeing hat he was
being w%ronVfully treated. moved that the
meeting be declared null AMI void. This
was carried by a large majority.
We further claim, and can prove, that
the article contained IN the SIM Of
the 30th I'LL, is in most part as false as
it is malicious, aud the better class of CHI
z MS are really to substantiate this fact
Knowing this To be true, it seems useless
to further deny the false allegations made
against Mr.. ~Cushinberry by Mr.. Ashford
or his pretended friends. 1t is also a fact
the citizens should be aware OF, that Mr..
Ashford was caught pedJling anti railroad
bond tickets. when said bonds were con
cede1 to be Of more benefit to this terri
