A Local Option FlzzIe.

In the Circuit Court at Macon
Thursday, in the case of the State
VS.. Fred March, charging him with
selling beer in Macon in violation
of the Wood Local Option law, the
defendants attorneys fled a de-
murrer to the States evidence on
the ground that the records of the
Macon City Council at their meet
ing when the returns were canvass
ed OH the adoption of the law over
a year ago were irregular. Judge
Andrew Ellison sustained the de-
murrer, and instructed the jury to
acduit the defendant. The Council
records were entirely irregular and
did not show the facts as they took
place. The defendants attorneys
say the State cannot appeal the
case and unless the Council records
can be amended, which is not
probable, the Local Option law in
Macon, which took effect the 4th of
last January, will be imperative.
Jesus Jaras, one of the most
popular toreadors of Mexico, was
gored to death by a bull in the am
phitheatre at Juarez last Sunday
afternoon. 1t is somewhat inter-
esting to note that the exhibition
in which the poor fellow lost his
life was given in honor of the pa
tren saint of Mexico. If patron
saints delight in this sort of thing
they had better take their names
out of the calendar. But the cool
est thing about the sickening affair
is the last paragraph Of the di-
spatch describing it sent from Ell
Paso, Texas. 1t says: "The bulls
are unusually savage this year,
and the fighting will prove inter-
esting." For Interesting sub
st1tute "brutal and murdsrous''
and there would be more truth in
the dispatch.

ONE of the most amusing, as we'll as easily arranged entertain
" ments for the Holidays, is a Bubble Party" Twenty or
more ladies and gentlemen, enough clay pipes SO each viii have
one, three or four bowls of soapsuds, ard, say, half a dozen trifes,
for prizes, are all that is required, the prizes TO be awarded to
those who blow the largest bubbles, one of the party to act as
referee.
The suds should be Of IvoaY SOAP, as it gives a clean, white,
and abundant lather, with an entire freedom from oil or grease
and as the materials of which it is made are SO clean and pure,
it is not at all offensive to the smell or taste, like ordinary soap.
A WORD OF WARMING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be just as COED as the livery -
they ARE NOT, but like all countshets, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities Of
the genuine. Ask for "isoy" Soap and insist upon getting it,

A Cowboy Rebellion.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 12.-Some
time ago the cattlemen of tho Chckasaw
Nation, of the Indian Territory, resisted
the cattle tax OF 81 per head for cattle
grazing on Indian lands, and drove the
collector and his deputies away with vio-
lence. The Governor was notified, and
through him the United States Govern
ment. A settlement was attempted, but
without results favorable to the Indians.
The cowboys began to assemble, and now
about 100 ave rendezvousing in the
southern part Of the Nation. The Gov
ernor has ordered out the National mill
tia, and they are now assembled ct Ard
more, preparatory TO a move upon the
cowboys.
Captain McI4ish was put in command
OF them, and he has orders to move
at once. To-day the camp has been in q
stir, getting ready for the campaign, and
it is expected the troops will be on the
march tomorrow. They will move eau
tiously, as it is thought they are not
strong enough TO combat the cattlemen,
who are armed with Winchesters. Many
OF these are citizens OF the Nation, and it
is feared that this is the first outbreak Of
civil war. Tho Government troops at
Fort Reno are prepared to take the field
in case the Chickasaws cannst quell the
disturbance

The services Of Sunday at the Uni
versity Church were conducted in the
morning by Rev. r. NJ. Beach, preach
ing from tho text: eye are the light Of
the world" In the evening President
Bovsrd gave an address touching the
late General Conference, OF which he
was member. He said that the feel
ing quite general among the public
against the body for excluding women
was unjust in the extreme. The ques-
tion was purely one OF a constitutional
character. The fitness or usefulness Of
women did not enter at all into the dis
cussion. A very large proportion Of
those voting against their admission
we're in favor Of it when this
barrier shall have been removed.
Steps were inaugurated with this
in view, and there is little doubt
but the next quadrennial meeting will
admit women by an overwhelming
majority.
The extension Of the time-limit of the
pastorate from three to five years gives
general satisfaction.
Though this is healthy community,
death with his keen sickle is at work. A
five-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Charles
Compton died on Friday night and was

day night last and was buried on Mon
day.

generally. They would like to have
papers or hear about from others to
make diligent inquiry among their friends
as to the Home and the work it is doing.

A Cock and Eu,i story Expiosed.

A contemporary last night devoted o
considerable amount Of its space to an
article under tho caption-"alleged muir
der plot"--in which it was set forth that
an organized conspiracy existed to muir
der half hundred Chinese gamblers
who had been SO indiscreet as to give
away TO the Mayor the location OF several
games Of fan-tau. 1t was also stated
Mayor Workman and President of the
Council Humphreys had taken measures
to protect the Chinese alleged to be in
jeopardy.
The story as published is simply nom
sense. A HERALD representative last
night met Judge DePuy, who has long
been acting as attorney for Chinese un-
fortunate enough to get into law. When
asked what he thought of the story re-
ferred to, DePuy smiled blandly, and
said: "Ah Him, leading resident in
Chinatown, told me this afternoon that
no such conspiracy existed. He said 10
meeting had been held, and that the
sole object the Celestials had who in
formed the Mayor of this alleged con-
spiracy was to make him believe that
what they had told him in the
past concerning CHINATOWN gambling
was true. Ali Him says the
two sntagonistic factions in
Chinatown tried each to get to the May
ors ear first, but that the Ah Now fac
ton won the race. He laughed at the
idea OF war Of determination being
raised, and said: "Not money 'nuff in II
for one side fight other. do not think
there is anything in the yarn"
The HERALD man next saw All Him.

ly friendly TO the Mayor and President
OF the Council. He is willy heathen
and generally 10th to talk. But, on the
conspiracy story being reeited
to him he at once became
communicative. He said there was not
the slightest truth in the story, aud that
no meeting had been held. He claims
TO have been as great sufferer from
raids on his games as any other Celestial
banker in town, and exhibited to the re-
porter book in which, in logibie Eng
lish, were set forth facts and figures
showing that the firms he represented
