Wings and Stings.

This is the airy, singing title of
another sprightly amusing book by
Palmer Cox. 1t is one of the Queer
People series, and similar to its COM
panion "Paws and Claws" of which
we told you recently. This is one of
the funniest and brightest books for
youngsters we have ever seen. The
illustrations are splendid and will
make the boys and girls roar with
laughter. The Boston Budget says:
"ds q holiday book nothing could be
more appropriate, since nothing could
confer greater pleasure upon the little
ones" The National Republican says:
" EUery page is a picture and all the
tet music, foundation Of .f,m, neuer
ceaSi'ag. 10 aCiW make young eyes
blaze" 1t win certainly be wonder
fully popular. 1t is published by
Messrs. Hubbard Bros, of Philadel-
phia, Chicago, and Kansas City, to
whom persons desiring a copy or an
agency should apply.

AIden's Literary CycLOpedia.

The eleventh volume of Alden's
Cyclopedia of Universal Literature
well sustains the very high reputation
the work has secured. Among the
eminent authors of all ages and all
nations represented in this volume
are: William Henry Herbert, Amer
lean naturalist and novelist; Herder,
German poet; Herodotus, Greek His
torian; Herschel, English astrono-
mer; Hildreth, American Historian;
James Hogg, the Scottish "Ettrick
Shepherd" Holberg, Danish dra-
matist; Oliver Wendell Holmes,
American poet and novelist; Hous-
sage, French essayist, etc. These
names simply illustrate the compre-
hensive character and popular inter-
est of the work, and are but u few of
the names included-for instance, be-
sides these, Homer occupies over so
pages, Thomas Hood, Is pages, VIM.
d. Howells, 10 pages, etc. The work
is a veritable mine of literary riches,
and there are very few published so
well worthy of place in every home
library. The price, so marvelously
low, places it within popular reach
so cents a volume for cloth binding,
60 cents for half morocco; postage 1Oc.
A specimen volume may be ordered
and returned if not wanted. JOHN
B. ALDEN, Publisher, New York,
Atlanta, and San Francisco.

Young Mems Meeting.

This was the week set aside by the
Young Mems Christion Associations
as a special week of prayer for
young men in all lands. In c0nse-
quence of this the service at the
Methodist church on Sunday night
will be specially devoted to young
men. Mr.. Leeper will join with Mr..

Chdncery Court.

The last Legislature, with the
characteristic capacity of that body
for laundering, fixed the times for
holding Chancery Court in this and
Lincoln counties on the same dates,
and as it is impossible for the Chan
cellor to be in two places at the same
time, the court at either this place or
Fayetteville always has to be post
poned for couple of weeks. Judge
Bearden is holding in Fayetteville
this week. Judge Smallman opened
the court here for the Chancellor last
Monday, and after the transaction of
some minor business, adjourned it
until the fourth Monday in this
month, at which time the Chancellor
will be present to finish up the bust
ness of the term.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
A Good Institution to be Pushed to
Success.

Several gentlemen have undertaken
the task of establishing public
library and reading room in McMinn-
vile on a basis which will insure its
perpetuity. The old Methodist
church building has been secured for
the purpose, and Mr.. Clay Faulkner,
who owns the building, will have it
put in thorough repair. The plan is
to form an association of at least
one hundred members, who will pay
dues to the amount of $4.0O per year
each. The reading room will be
supplied with all the leading maya
zines and papers. We already have
a nucleus of several hundred volumes
of books, and new publications will
be added constantly. 1t will be the
depository of the Third Congressional
District Library, which contains
many very valuable volumes.
A few hundred dollars will be
necessary to furnish the room with
chairs, tables, carpet, bookcases, ETC.,
and if some of the rich men of Nc
Minnville want to be guilty of some
thing really philanthropical, this is
their opportunity. The scheme is
one which every man and woman of
McMinnville ought to encourage
heartily. 1t opens an avenue to
much enlightenment and culture land
will supply popular resort where
home people and visitors can always
goand spend a pleasant and profitable
hour.
When somebody calls on you with
the list don't wait to see who else is
going to join, but put your name
down promptly, and it will surprise
you to see how easily the thing can
be carried to success. AS soon as
enough names are secured meeting
will be called to elect officers, etc.
Let everybody help.

Electric Lights.

Mr.. H. X. Bryson, of Fayetteville,
has been here several days this week,
organizing an electric light company.
Our business men took hold of the

corporation takes eight lights for
street purposes. We will have cleo

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Arrest or Two More Members OF tho
brotherhood.

CHICAGO, July 1l.-Chairman Hoge, Of
hood of Engineers, and Chairman Muir
ply, occupying the same position In the
Firemen's Brotherhood, were arrested at
the National hotel at 7:30 this morning
by Detectives Palmer and Hoffman OF
the central station. The prisoners were
taken completely by surprise. They had
evidently been up a great portion Of the
night In conference relating to some i'm.
pOrtant move. Both men were locked
up at the armory. Attorney Collier OF
the 90 road said this morning that the
prisoners would be arraigned before Jus.
ticc Lyon and continuance taken as tho
company was not yet ready to push the
case. He said further, however, that
the evidence in possession Of the com
pany was conclusive. A midnight con
sultation of the officers Of the company
led to the arrest Of two or three detect
ives. Manager Stone, Paul Morton and
Frank Collier, attorney for the company,
worked on the evidence all night, and
early in the morning they decided upon
the arrest.
What do these arrests meanf" was
asked Of Paul Morton.
They mean that Mr.. Hoge and Mr.
Murphy have been arrested for criminal
conspiracy in connection with the circu-
lar and think we can prove that the
circular came from them"
No more arrests will be made In Chi.
cago but IL is probable that several
strikers in other places will be behind tho
bars before long.

day he was arrested in Denver by Sheriff
Cruise. on requisition to the Governor
Of Colorado, on Il charge Of arson. Last
October a creamery belonging to the
Diamond creamery Company OF this
place, In Lee neighborhood, was burned.
Since Lee ran away many suspicious
pointed TO him as the author OF the fire.
Patient work has developed sufficient
evidence to Justify his arrest. II appears
that he employed his hired man TO burn
the creamery in order that he might sell
a building he owned In the neighborhood
to the Diamond Creamery Company. The
hired man has made full confession of
his part in the affair. and says that Lee
paid him $50 to do the job. He has also
turned over TO the authorities letter re-
ceived from Lee, in which the latter
speaks of the crime. The Sheriff will be
