RIPPED IN THE BUD
A Dying Negro Exposes a
Horrible Plot
To Murder White People in
Alabama.
Forty-eight of the Rioters
Arrested.
A Dark Plot Revealed.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 9.-Emer-
son Shepherd, the negro who was fatally
shot in a fight with a sheriff. posse last
Thursday, before dying revealed the al
legged plot of the leaders in the Lowndes
county riot. He states that Friday last
was the time appointed to massacre the
whites. Meetings were held by lodges to
raise money to purchase ammunition %
kill the whites if they ATTEMPTED to ar
rest the negroes. The principal negro
engaged in the plot was Bob Robinson,
president of the meeting. Nell Manuuin,
secretary and treasurer of the lodge, was
also deeply implicated. They claim to
have large societies throughout the Unit
ed States, who have resolved to avenge
their fallen ones and protect their color in
the future at all hazards. The negro
claims that Lowndes, Crenshaw ard But
Ter counties have the largest clubs and are
fully competent to do their duty. They
state that they have endured the mistreat-
ment of the whites long enough, and pro-
pose to put an end to it, or there will be
bloodshed. All members of the lodge
were notified by the leaders that if they
failed to be present at the meeting Friday
and do their duty in the proposed massa-
ere of the whites, they would be put to
death. Forty-eight of the negroes en-
gagged in the riot have been arrested and
jailed. The sheriffs posse and state
troops seem to have put an end to the
trouble for the present, but another out
break Is liable to come sooner or later.

On all sides the habits and customs of
civilized life compel us to tolerate, as best
we can, a thousand and one drawbacks
to strictly hygienic living. Nature has
wisely made liberal provision for devia-
tions from an ideal or perfect standard.
The climate we inhabit is far from per-
feet; alterations of heat and cold, ex-
cessive humidity and excessive dryness,
all contribute to overtax and depress the
vital powers. The food we eat is in no
sense ideal; the water we drink is fire.
quently anything but the pure and spark
ling element Of which bucolic poets sing,
and the air we breathe is, for the most
part, loaded with every conceivable kind
of visible and invisible impurities-germs
spores, organic notes, foul gases, the ex-
halations of animal bodies and putrefy-
ing waste.-Hall's journal of Health.

vision.

10 AID IN the construction of a railroad
opposite to any portion of such land, not
now completed and in operation for the
construction or benefit of which said lands
have heretofore been granted; and all of
such lands are declared to be part of the
public domain. The act is not to be con-
strued as FORGETTING the right of way or
depot ground of any railroad company
heretofore granted, nor as limiting the
rights granted to purchasers or settlers
by an act to provide for the adjustment
OF grants made by congress to aid in the
construction of railroads and for the for
fixture of unearned lands, and for other
purposes" approved March 3, 1887, or as
repeating, altering or amending that act,
or in any manue affecting any cause of
action existing in favor of any purchaser.
The second section authorizes persons
in possession of any such lands (prior to
the LIST of January, 1881 to purchase
them within two years. from the United
States in quantities not exceeding 300
acres, at the rate of 81. 50 per acre.

the Northern Pacific Railroad company

July, 1859 a like right. and confirms to

CHICAGO, May 9.-To day a wealthy
New York merchant, whose name is given
as Gregory, but who has not been identi
fed, and a New York lawyer, name CON
cealed, were placed upon the same list with
Actor Kyrle Bellew and other people who
are unpleasantly connected with the SEN
s%ational divorce proceedings between Les
lie Carter, a wealthy Chicago lawyer, and
his wife, Caroline Louise Carter. The
accusations are made by Mrs. Mary II.

Asthma is not a disease per Sc as is
popularity supposed, but a symptom of
disease. 1t Is spoken of by different
names-as, for instance, hay asthma,
rose or June asthma, and ipecac asthma.
Some people will get asthma from sleep
ing on n feather pillow; others as soon as
they come in contact with certain ami
mails, as a dog, a cat, or n squirrel. Pro-
fessor Austin Flints cannot sleep on a
feather pillow without getting asthma,
and SO susceptible is he to it that he is
able to detect the feathers when they are
placed under his pillow by persons
whose design it is to catch him on
his theory. Cases have come to notice
where the asthmatic symptom was
developed in men who happened to get
hold of a blanket upon which n dog
had been sleeping the previous day.
Asthma may be a symptom of empty
soma of the lungs, and may last for
weeks or even months. Two men who
were treated by me, one having nasal
polypus and the other stone in the blad-
der; both had asthma. To persons sus-
ceptible to it asthma is developed from
working in the dust around thrashing
machines, and others suffer from it as
soon as they enter an apothecary's shop
where ipecac is kept. Nor is dropsy any
thing but a symptom of disease or a re-
suit of it. Defined, generally, asthma is
q manifestation of disease of the nervous
system which causes contraction of the
bronchial tubes. 1t may be seen as a
spasmodic contraction of the nerves, and
of course may be a symptom of heart
disease or some other disease.-Dr. B. V.
Steinmetz in Globe-D Democrat.

White Hats.

The white hat does not signify
much in this campaign. James G..
Blaine wears a white beaver every
day. IL is said that Gen. Ben.
Harrison, the next President, wears
one also. In Chicago all the Blaine
clubs and republican clubs from New
York and elsewhere wore white
beavers. 1t seemed to be an ensign
Of Republicanism beyond Mason and
Dixon's line. Down here the demo-
cratic clubs wear them and call them
Cleveland hats. We don't think Mr..
Cleveland wears one of that kind.
The white beaver will very likely
become a regular campaign hat this
year, worn by both parties. So much
more for the matters.
