IHE Union Is attempting to revive by
gone questions which have no bearing
whatever upon the present campaign
with a view of diverting attention from
the study of the tariff Issue. and the Nc
kinney bull which is playing such havoc
among the people and which Gest sup.
ported so warmly. The Union very natur.
ally would like to fight the present cam
paign on any policy but the present, but
the masses of the people are not going to
have their minds so easily turned from
things which pertain so directly to them.
If the Union, however, has any time and
space 1t might turn it to profitable ac-
count by looking to Gest's demoralized
fences throughout the district.

peradoes in this country, is dead He was
. Cherokee Indian, 9 feet 4 inches in
height, straight as an arrow, and at IL
time of his death was nearly 81 years Of
age. This remarkable man came west
with his father when the Cherokees were
removed to this part of the country. A
bitter feud arose over the sale of the home
of the red man east of the Mississippi be-
tween two factions known as the Ridge
and Ross parties odd Toms" father
belonged to the Ridges.
Had to Treat with the Avenger.
He was shot down in his own door by a
party of the enemy. Tom killed three of
the party on the spot, and then he began
war on the enemy, in which seventy peo-
pie, as estimated by the Cherokee coun-
ell, were slain by him About fifteen
years ago the Cherokee council entered
INTO treaty with Tom, since which COM
promise he had lived quiet and exemp-
larry life. During the days of his warfare
against his Indian foe there were many
deeds of desperate daring placed to his
tTodit. by MIN Il TAX collector III u raw

veloped ''Old Tom" as the brains of the
gang who did the neat job in a most
romantic way, aided by the cunning of
Billy Reed. After the robbery Reed went
to Texas, where be met tragic death.
Belle Starr and Tom quarrelei over the
Grayson booty. Belle married Sam,
Toms pet son, to spite "Old Tom" and his
wife.
Some Things He Doesn't Speak of.

over family matters, and little later
Belle Starr was shot, while on horseback,
near her home in @Younger's ,nd," pre-
sumably by friends of her husband, who
believed she conspired with West to kill
him. "Old Tom" would talk freely of his
deeds in revenge of his fathers death, but
he rarely spoke of his other exploits.

A Couple Who Wanted Something New

WAsHINGToN CITY, Oct 24-There were
two visitors to the White House yester-
day who attracted general attention be-
fore they took their departure. They were
evidently from way back in the woods.
The man was apparently about As years of
age His companion was a woman about
fifteen years his Junior, pretty and mod
est. After an animated conversation on
the porch they timidly Approached Capt.
Dinsmore, the chief doorkeeper. In low
voice the man informed the captain that
he wanted to get married What is your
namep asked Capt Dinsmore John
GilliDgham, replied the man. Il came
from Culpepah, sah."
Victims of the Practical Joker.
Upon further questioning the captain
learned that the couple had been told by
some practical jokers in their native town
that If they would come to this CITY and
present themsel YES at the White House
the president would tie the matrimonial
knot They were much chagrined and
disappointed upon being told that such
services were out of the presidents line.
and that it would be impossible to be
married by the chief executive Then
they consulted again and wanted to know
IL they could not be married at the top of
Washington monument The man said
that he and Sallie had been counting for
eight years, and that commonplace
wedding would by no means be equal tc
the occasion. Capt. Dinsmore laughed,
and directed the romantic couple to the
city hall, where they finally procured
license and were married in every day
