ment on it. Recently Kaglemacher
insisted on having his money.
Hughes, half in fun, made PROPOSE
tion to deed himself to Kaglemacher
in liquidation of all the debts.
"I'll take you" was the answer
and lawyer Charles F. Baker drew
up bill of sale, in which Hughes
scld "Himself and his body after
death to Gus Kaglemacher. the said
Kaglemacher to have control of the
said Hughes as long as he might
live, and to barter, sell or convey
him to others, if he so chose to do"
The sale was signed and witnessed,
and copy given to each party.
Later in the day Hughes asked a
lawyer if such 4 contract was Legal.
He was told it was. and then he went
off and got drunk. He was arrested,
and shortly after his owner came
down, gave him lecture and accom-
panied him into the Recorders court.
Hudges entered plea of guilty, and
was fined 1915. Kaglemacher paid
the fine, put Hughes in his wagon
and drove off with him to his farm,
three miles from. Atlanta. Hughes
said he was drunk when he made the
contract that it was done in fun, and
he was going to the farm to sober up.

Panic and Death.

CELAYA, MEXICO, April 4.-Eigh-
teen persons were killed and over
one hundred injured at bull fight
here on Sunday afternoon. The ball
ring was crowded with spectators and
the bull fighters were still playing
with the first bull when fire sud-
denly broke out on the sunny side of
the plaza. A panic seized upon the
assemblage. The plaza was construc-
ted of wooden masts, reeds and the
like, and it was due to this fact that
the majority of the people escaped
without injury, being able to force
an opening for exit at different
points. but many women and chill
dren jumped from the top, distance
of 200 to 800 feet.
The sides of the plaza being lined
with mating as dry as finder. and
there being slight wind blowing.
the amphitheatre was in blaze in
few seconds. Nine dead bodies, in
some cases so charred as to be un-
recognizable, have so far been taken
from the ruins. Nine persons were
so badly burned that they died yes
terday. Sixty-eight persons were
very badly burned, and, though they
still live, at least ten of them will
die this week. Fifty persons, in
escaping. were knocked down and
trampled upon by the panic-stricken
throng and are very seriously but not
fatally injured.
The bulls, maddened by the roar
ing of the flames, broke loose from
their stalls and rushed wildly through
the surging mass of humanity, toss
ing aloft and knocking over all who
stood in their way. Among the eigh-
teen dead were two women, who
were first gored to death by the bulls
and their bodies afterward burned.
The scenes in the neighborhood of
the bull ring were sickening. Nude
women and children, crazed with
suffering from their burns, ran aim
lessly through the streets. and could
scarcely be overtaken or collected by
their friends. Several persons lost
their reason.
The fire was incendiary. In the
Celaya Jail were number of prison.
ers, army deserters and petty crimi
mails who had obtained permission
from the authorities to attend the
bull fight. They were accompanied
by strong guard of soldiers to pre-
vent escape, but one of the deserters
surreptitiously struck match and
lighted one of the dry petates (mats)
and in an instant the side of the ring
was ablaze. In the confusion and
excitement the prisoners escaped

Very Stubborn Facts.

ocratic newspapers have been indus
triouSly saying ever since, that 1.-THE
amount of duty means the tax paid

matter to explode this fallacy, as is
shown by Mr.. Charles III. Clark, an
accepted authority upon matters of
finance and public economy, in few
plain illustrations which we give be-
low:
1.-The President" says Mr.. Clark,
"gives no specific examples to prove
that his statement is true" We shall
give something, however, to prove
that it is positively incorrect. Such
examples are abundant. Here are
two that are both familiar and strik-
ing:
"The present price of steel rails in
this country is S33 per ton. The duty
is SIT and freight is $3.50, together
making $3.50, the tax on imported
rails. This deduction from the S33
leaves Sl3 so which would be the
British price for steel rails, if the

The Miller and his Son.

A miller and his son once drove an
ass to the town, in order to sell it at
the market. There met them a man
on horseback, who laughed ana said,
"You are dull fellows to let the ass
go idle, ard neither of you on it !"
So the father Immediately called his
son to mount.
After awhile wagon met them.
The driver called Out to the son,
"Are you not ashamed, young fellow
to ride, while your old father has to
60 along by your side on foct?"
| AS soon as he heard these words
he Immediately jumped off the ass,
and let his father get up.
After they had gone some distance
farther along sandy road, a peasant
woman met them, who carried a
basket full of vegetables on her head.
She said to the father, you are a
merciless father to make yourself so
comfortable upon the ass, and to let
your poor son there toll through the
deep sand !"
The father therefore took his son
also up on the ass. But when shep-
herd, who was keeping sheep on the
road, saw them both riding along on
the ass, he called out loudly, "Ah,
the poor beast he will surely fall to
the ground under such double load.
You are unmerciful t0rmentors of the
animal ~
They then both got down, and the
son said to his father, "What shall
we now do with the ass, in order to
satisfy the people? We must at last
tie his feet together, and carry him
on pole on our shoulders to the
market"
But his father said. you observe
now. my son, that it is impossible to
please everybody; and that the adj
vice is very wise:
seek to perform your task as best you may,
And little heed what others think or say"

The negotiation of an extradition

The settlement of the fishery

The reduction of the surplus by

"Further, the steel rail Industry Of
this country was built up under a
duty of S2S ton. In 1885 steel rails
were sold for S27, just 81 less than the
original duty.
"Take another Illustration. The
price of cut nails in Philadelphia is
50 per key of 100 pounds. The duty
on cut nails is Sl.25. If the Presi.
dents propositions be correct, tut
nails should be bought in Europe for

be bought anywhere on this earth
for less than $3.50 keg.
"Again cut nails have been sold in
this country as low as S1.85 key. of
100 pounds, while the duty was 81 so

dent, cut nails must have been pur.
chased in Europe for 80 cents keg.
IAN example even more remark
able is found in the fact that while
chloroform is subject to duty of so
cents per pound the domestic article
is selling in this country for So cents

These facts are beyond controyer.

here since the campaign began.
The General very wisely steered
clear of the tariff question. though
he said it rss 2 mighty hard thing
for q political speaker to do in this
canvass. His defense Of Grover
Cleveland and the democratic ad-
ministration Of the government was
clear and convlncing. He made q
strong and elOqaently touching ap-
peal to democrats to stick to the
party and to turn out on election
day and vote and work for the sue
cess Of the whole democratic ticket.
There were several in from the coun-

are sure good was accomplished for
the cause of democracy. I'VE need
