- ZEE ciergynen, and escorted
BY guard. A considerable crowd followed to
witness the execution.
He was q native OF Hancock county, Va, born
In 1929, brought up by pious Presbyterian parents
who now reside in southwestern Missouri. A
good portion OF his life had been spent in Flem-
Ing county, Ky. He had no family, but was en-
gagged to be married during the present month.
She did not shrek or cry out, but read
1t through to the end, and went silently to
her room, from which she did not emerge
for hours; and when she did rejoin the
family her face was drawn and pale, and
the Light had gone out of her eyes. From
this time forward she took little interest
in anything until the letter to Mr.. Nc
Gavic, printed above, arrived. Many
months after, the empty trunk, so pathetic
an emblem of her blasted hopes and the
great tragedy that had fallen on her life,
was recovered. In the absence OF any
explanation, for the letter TO her was
never received, 1t seemed like a cruel
mockeryI Not long after she died, thus
rejoining the man she had loved so faith
fully through such hopeless sorrow. No
brave man perishes that some tender
woman's heart is not crushed!

The Pneumonia Epidemic.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 1.-Advice from
Montpelier. Indiana, state that an cpl
demic of pneumonia began in the
territory adjacent to that place about
a month ago which has caused many
fatalities and many are now low with
the epidemic. Not only are the
practicing physicians busy day an d
night, but several doctors who have re-
turned have been called in to
assist. To add to the burden, black
measles have broken out in Keystone. a
small village three miles north. A
large number of children are afflicted
and the schools have been closed. Epi-
demic pneumonia differs from the ordi-
nary complaint in that the lungs seem
to decay and the system fails to respond
to the usual remedies.

Skin Game.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-They are going
to deal in petroleum on the New York
exchange. That was practically set
tied yesterday. A conference lasting
three hours was held down town, those
present being special committee of
the stock exchange, the president of
the United Pipe Line association and
the presidents of the three PennSyl-
vania oil exchanges, viz, Mr.. Foster of
the Oil City board, Mr.. Stevens of the
Pittsburg board, and Mr.. Wheeler of
the Bradford board. AS a result of
this meeting the stock exchange COM
Line certificates shall be added to the
enlisted securities now traded in on the
floor of the exchange. The brokers are
practically unanimous in desiring the
listing of the petroleum certificates, as
is attested by the fact that of the 100
members of the exchange, many of
whom live in distant cities, about 500
have already signed memorial to the
governors in favor of the innovation.
The subject was discussed in every
different vein by a cynical eX-member
of the stock exchange. "If they list
OIL he said, sit will be the down
fail of the exchange. 1t has ruined
everybody that ever gambled in it and
with the layout so close at hand the
boys will be tempted whenever stocks
are dull to take a flyer in petroleum.
1t is dead open and shut skin game
and they will all 90 broke"

ORGANIZED LABOR.
A Movement on Foot to Politically
Boycott Penile 1IIary Work

A Movement on Foot to Politically
Boycott Penile 0tIary Work.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-The Times this
morning says there is a plan on foot
among Chicago labor organizations
that if carried out will either keep the
democratic national convention away
from Chicago or else place all organized
labor in antagonism to the candidates
of the convention. 1t is being pushed
by some of the enthusiasts for an in
dependent political labor move
ment for the purpose of fore
ing organized labor to abandon
the old parties and join the independ-
emit, radical political movement. OF
late it has come to be generally be-
lieved among labor men that not only
did the contractors of the Auditorium
building employ non-uniOn labor,
from the Chester penitentiary and
the most aggravating circumstance in
the eyes of the staunch union men is
that this stone was hauled from the
Chester penitentiary by the Wabash,
Chester s. Western railroad, of which
the principal owner is ChaS. &. Cole,
who in the last session of the legis-
lature introduced the bill making the
boycott criminal conspiracy. The
intention is again to bring about a
concerted movement of all the
Chicago Ecentral labor organizations
similar to the one Sat the time of Presi-
dent Cleveland's visit, and to petition
the president or the democratic nation
al committee, not to hold the national
convention in the Auditorium building.
They would be glad to have the CON
vention come to Chicago. The pro-
ceedings will be secret, as they will be
in the hands of the boycott boards
which of late have become very secret
bodies. The plan is to have commit
tee appointed, consisting of delegates
of the boycott on the executive boards
of the various central bodies. and tC
inaugurate correspondence with the
president of the national committee.

Indian Territory Opening.

BANTER SPRINGS, Kas., Jan. 30
The following resolutions were passed
at the late meeting of the Commercial
Club of this city:
Resolved, That the Baxter Springs
Commercial Club will use all their in
fluence towards the opening of the In
dian Territory, and that they endorse
the sentiment of the Kansas City Jour
nal on this question.
Resolved, That the most feasible
plan to secure an early action on the
part of the government is that proposed
by the Kansas City Commercial Club,
and that all clubs and boards of trade
of the western cities should cooperate
with the Kansas City Club until the
Indian Territory is made territory of
the United States and subject to the
laws of the national government.
Jebo, Richardvilie, Beaver and Early,
chiefs of the Peorias, Miamis and
Ottawas, leave for Washington Mon
day night. They are empowered by
their respective tribes to work for the
allotment in severalty of the lands of
those tribes. The Indians in this sec
tion are almost unanimously in favor of
allotment, and the scheme is opposed
only by a few fullbloods and some
worthless ''Sqnaw men," or outlaws
from the border states.
CALDWELL, KAs., Jan. 30.-An en-
thusiastic meeting of the Board of
Trade was held in this city to-day to
appoint committee to meet at the
general conference to be held in Kan
sas City on the 9th of February, in re-
gard to the opening of the Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory for settle
ment. A committee of ten was APP
pointed and a large amount of money
raised to be used judiciously towards
bringing the matter before the people
in the proper light. This city is the
recognized headquarters of the Okla
homa boomers, and even the members
of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Asso-
citation are active towards bringing the
matter before congress.

Choking the Channel.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-The Republican
in series of interviews with the cap
tains of the Missouri and Pacific ferry
boats charges these men with deliber-
ately forming the great ice gorge which
threatened a million dollars worth of
property and destroyed from $50, 900 to
800, 900 worth. Charles Teller, cap
tain of the Missouri is reported as say
ing: Yes we choked her

about fifty yards wide and l went up
with the Missouri and Cap. John
Tellar took the Pacific up and we laid

WASHINGTON, Feb. delegate
.. S. Clifford, of Dakota, was heard
this morning by the house committee
on territories in favor of the bill to adj
nit north and south Dakota as Separ-
ate states. He said the proposed
states contain each nearly 5000
square miles. They would be ex-
ceeded by only seven other
states OF the United States
in size and each would be larger
than all of New England and New
Jersey added. Mr.. Clifford read at
length statements tending to substan-
tiate the claim that the proposed states
possess in an eminent degree the con-
ditions as to area, productive capacity,
cultural resources requisite to entitle
them to admission to the sisterhood of
states. IAN persons will agree" he
said, that the treatment received by
the territory from the hands of con-
gress regarding this matter of state
hood is without parallel in the coun-
! try's history in its neglect and injus-
tice. He held that an excellent reason
| for the territory as distinct states
was that the functions of the govern
ment could be better exercised by two
states of medium size than would be
the case if the territory in its large
unwieldy condition were admitted as
a whole.
Arguments were also made by MIR.
II. Roy Myers of Dakota, in favor of
division of the territory, and by Mr.. w.
| f. Purcell of North Dakota, in oppoSi-
tion of division and in favor of bill
admitting the territory as whole.
