A BAD BUCK.
He Is Probably Wanted in Kansas-A Des'
perate Struggle With Two Police
men-The Result.

Wallace Scott Is the name of six
foot negro who was lodged in the county
jail last night after desperate struggle
with two policemen, who disarmed him
by removing dangerous looking re-
volver and belt filed with cartri ges.
Scott recently came from Vernon,
Kan. and has been employed as la
borer on the new brewery. Last night
he tanked up pretty well on Sunday-law
liquor, and tying on his weapon, pro-
ceeded to preempta large section OF the
town. His actions became offensive on q
Houston street electric car, and Officer 5
Rushing and Peyton Maddox were mott
fed. They pursued the fellow and
caught him on Main street, near Ninth i.
just as he WAS about to enter a restau-
rant. He paid no heed when they
called on him to submit to arrest, but
jerked out his six shooter menaoingly.
Officer Rushing seized the gun,
and the two entered into Il
rough and tumble scrap. Peyton Mad
dox pulled his own gun and, placing the
muzzie against the negroes stomach,
told him to quiet down OF there would be
away. Then Peyton gave him Il couple
of raps over the Uranium with the butt of
his revolver, and the desperate COL
lapsed.
He was placed in the county jail and a
charge of gun toting entered against
him.
The officers think he is wanted in KAN

Yesterday Afternoon.

Interesting Discourse BY RevivaIiss Robinson
Yesterday Afternoon.
Reyivalist Robinson at the Gum berland
Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon
spoke to men only.
1t was o strong sermon, listened TO by
good audience.
The text chosen was from Genesis iv,
80, Gam 1 my brothers. keeper?
Aud he said, what hast thou donei the
voice of thy brGthsr's blood crieth unto
me from the ground Also Luke X,
81 20 81 inclusive.
A certain man went from Jerusalem to
Jericho; from the shadow of the temple
shadow of the church, down to Jericho,
down hill all the way. Now
the road from jerusalem to Jericho
was q dangerous one, and every one
travelling IL was in danger, so
the road to sin is dangerous and all who
continue in sin know il Is dangerous. AT
the very first step he fell among thieves
bad associations, who rob him of his
character, his money. Then what next?
They beat him; then they strip him and
leave him, and they find him lying by
the waysde.
What the world wants is help. Men
are going down TO death with powerful
force and they need help to stop them;
need helping hand to assist them in re-
sistinR their appetites.
First the thieves stripped him of his
righteousness; then beat him-hurt his
feelings. and then left him. The very
first person who came along was the
priest, who looked at him and passed OH.
He was u sectarsn. Now We come 20
the man who could not stop at ala
Leyite. He saw his preacher could not
stop, so he just passed on and left him.
Then comes the third person. He
stopped and stopped down, held up his
Z hsafa So tDeked down in his face and
I poured oil In his wounds and dressed
them. That is the way of the Son of
God. He comes unto US and helps US to
resist the temptation. Oh! that is what
the world wants-help, and the Lord
Jesus gives us His help.
A good congregation greeted Rev. Mr..
Robinson in the evening. The text
chosen was Rev. 2-l7, ITO him that
overcometh. - There are three things
to be overcome, the world, the flesh
and the devil. God has given you the
ability 10 overcome them and God de-
mands that you overcome them. He
makes no higher demands of one than he
does Of the other. In order to overcome
these things we must use the Bible-the
sword of the spirit.
There will be song service tonight at
7:l5 and preaching at 7:45. All are
cordially invited to attend.

We have cOnversed with several

them have been precautions enough to
lay in supply Of Paris green to be used
in case of necessity. Those Of our far
mers who made use Of this poison in the
proper way last year have been very sue.
cessful. In some cases too much poison
was spread over the plant, which had an
injurious effect, but where it was used
i'm light quantities. say half pound to
the acre. and when the worm first made
its appearance. being yet young, it had a
satisfactory effect, the worm was killed
and the tenderest leaves at the top Of the
plant was not in the least affected by
the poison and the cotton kept growing
after having been poisoned and prOduc-
ed a very fair yield, therefore, there is no
reason why our farmers should bother
about the, worm. Let them get supply
of Paris green and watch their fields and
at the first appearance of the destructive
worm, to apply the poison on the patches
which are infested, and their crop will
be saved.
