THE POSTMASTER KILLING.
The Death of the Postmaster at Carroll
fnn- Mis- Charcoal To a NInh-

The Death of the Postmaster at Carroll
ton, Miss, Charged to a Mob.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-The Star says:
1.-The killing of John Prentiss Matthews,
the postmaster of Carrollton. Miss, by
young Mcbride will probably turn out
to be a cause celebre. 4 Star reporter
saw Mr.. J. VI. Matthews, of Mississippi,
who was the Republican candidate for
Congress against General Hooker at
the last election, and who is also a
brother of the killed man. Mr..
Matthews had just received the
following telegram from Carroll
ton: John was murdered by mob. He
had been notified by a dozen men that a
mob was going to kill him that day. He
saw the men with their guns and he got
rifle. When he did this the sheriff
placed him under arrest. John pointed
three men out to the sheriff and asked
him to arrest them and protect his life.
The sheriff refused. 1t was plot and
all were in it. John told young man
working for him he thought that they
would kill him before night. He
stayed at the post-ofice until his
would go to dinner. They begged him
not to go. but he said he would. When
he reached the hotel steps Mcbride,
who was still in the drug store, shot him
down with a shotgun, killing him in
stantly. Not satisfied with this, Nc
Bride fired five shots at him from a re-
volver after he was dead. The mob
then began dancing and shouting around
the body with the most vile abuse and
curses. John had received several anony-
nous letters telling him he must leave
town. The murderer goes free and all
because they must have the post-ofice
at CarrolltOn.' Ny brother said Mr..
Mathews, was only 81 years old. He
was bright, intelligent boy. He was
appointed postmaster several months
ago at Carrollton and while there have
been number of threats at his life I
did not think any thing would come Of
II. He was the first Republican post
master to take the Carrollton office for
many years and it was freely said that
no Republican should hold the Office"

lev. The horse of the meat delivery
wagon had about tagged out and the
men jumped from the wagon and Null
lin logged along With his wagon. When
the men jumped they separated and the
officers, leaving the patrol wagon, fol-
lowed the nearest man. He took in the
situation and throwing up his hands
surrendered, giving his name as John
Corbett. Then Lieutenant Jenkins
came dashing by with the fresh patrol
wagon and overlook Mullin in his de-
livery wagon. Mullin protested that
he had driven the fellows at the point
of the pistol, but he was handcuffed
Just the same.
The other two highwaymen mean
time were out of sight and while all
this was transporting Chief of Police
Marsh was notified. He was in the
mayors office at the time and in COM
pany with Inspector Hunt drove at a
mad pace for the Hyde park station.
Before leaving thirty men were de-
tailed by him to watch every railroad
and cable train and every road through
the district. When the chief reached
the station he gave orders to have every
street searched for the missing men.
The robbers were found in a barn at
Fifty-eighth street and Woodlawn ave
nue.. They opened FIRE on being discov-
cred and Patrick O'Brien, a Waterman,
who had joined the party, was hit in
the thigh The shooting was too much
for the robbers, however, and they de-
cided to give in. There was a short
parley and FIVE minutes later every one
of the burglars and all of the stolen
property was landed in the Hyde park
police station.
Along the road the robbers had shot
the lock off the tin box, and finding no
money in it had dropped it in the road
The last two men captured gave their
names as Frank Bennett and Henry
Featherstone. FeatherstOne, who was
apparently the leader, is tall man with
a sandy mustache. His name on other
occasions has been Henry.
1t is said that the robbers, nOtwith-
standing their GOODNESS, overlooked in
the vault and the cashiers drawer funds
to the amount Of $4,000

A Sweeping Law,

One of the proposed laws introduced
into the present congress which will
attract considerable attention if it be-
comes permanently enrolled on the
statute books is that regarding the
naturalization of aliens, introduced by
Representative Geary. Among other
things it provides that the applicant
shall file with the proper court petit
ton setting forth his name in full, age,
place of birth, date os arrival in this
country, places of residence since
arrival, occupation and present employ
ment. This petition the applicant
must subscribe in his own handwTit-
ing and he must have a certificate from
two citizens, who have been such for
five years, that they have known him
in the United States for at least five
years, that he is man of good moral
character, etc. Upon the filing of this
petition the court appoints day for its
hearing, of which notice must be pub
lished in the nearest newspaper for not
less than six successive days if a daily
and Two successive issues il a weekly.
Any citizen may file objections in writ
ing to the naturalization of the appli-
cant. On the hearing all the prelimI-
nary steps must be proved, and after the
court is satisfied on other points it
shall examine the petitioner in open
court upon the constitution of the
United States, the constitution of the
state where be applies for naturaliza-
ton and the history of the United
States of America. The petitioner is
required to answer correctly at least
so per centum of the questions asked
him in such examination, which
"shall be conducted in the English Ian
guage and without the aid Of an inter
prefer"
There are undoubtedly many evils
connected with our present system of
naturalization and Mr.. Geary's plan
for welding the immigrants into the
great body polite of the nation has
features which are to be commended
Any system which promises to make
our population a more homogeneous
one, to instil American ideas and
principles into every person in the
nation should be welcomed by all true
friends of this great republic.

FIGHTING AF0T-T PINE RIDGE.

RUSSELLvIILE. Neb.. Dec. 30.-When
the news of yesterdays fight at
Wounded Knee creek reached the
agency at line Ridge pandemonium
broke loose ;nOng the 5000 Indians
gathered there and large number of
these broke away. The friendly In
dians, including Red Cloud. joined the
army forces under General Brooke. At
shutdown fighting had commenced with
in three miles of the agency buildings
and a determined effort was being
made by the reds to reach and burn the
agency. An Indian village of friendlies
in plain sight of the agency was seen to
go up in flames just before dark.
These facts were from an official
courier who was an eyewitness to the
trouble that occurred at and near the
agency. lie came here by order of the
agency authorities, bringing special
dispatches and to warn the settlers
everywhere to be on their guard.
The captain of the RuShville home
guards received official notice from the
agency yesterday afternoon to make
every possible preparation for defend
ing the town and to see that adjacent
settlers were notified. Soon the terri
fed people came in and before midnight
the town was crowded. 1t is thought
by all cooler heads that no danger,
however. or at least no immediate dan
ger, threatens the railroad towns.
Yesterdays battle has made it almost
certain that bloody war will follow.
GENERAL MILES REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Oficial dis
patches from General Miles dated Rapid
City, :. D., were received last night by
General Schofield, telling of a fight in
the Bad Lands between the Indian hos
tiles and the white troops. The dis
patches were first sent by General
Brooke to General Miles The first is
as follows: ''Whiteside had four troops
of cavalry and held the Indians till
FOrsythe reached him with four more
troops last night. At $50 this morning,
while disarming the Indians the fight
commenced. / think very few Innians
have escaped. think we viii have this
matter in hand as soon as all are in DO
sition. There was no prscaution omit

seen many of the Indians who went out
toward Forsythe this morning come
back
The next dispatch was: General
Brooke telegraphs that Forsythe re-
ports that while disarming Big Foot's
band this morning a fight oc-
Cured Captain Wallace and five SOL
diers were killed, Lieutenant CARING
ton and fifteen men were wounded. The
Indians are being hunted up in all d.
rections. None are known to have got
ten to their ponies. General Brooke
also reports that many of the young
warriors that were going out from the
camp in the Bad Lands to the agency
have gone toward Forsythe. All troops
have been notified. Colonel Forsythe
had two battalions of the Seventh cav
airy and Hotchkiss guns. Other troops
are lin close proximity"
A third dispatch says: General
Brooke reports that two shots were
fred near the agency pine Ridge by
some one and several were fired in re-
turn. Quite a large number of Two
Strikes band ran away and all the
agency are greatly excited. All this
makes matters look more serious"
General Schofeld, though deeply re-
GREETING the occurrence, was not greatly
surprised when he learned of the
treachery displayed by the Indians in
the fight referred to above. He had
been on the lookout for treachery all
the time; it was almost inevitable.
That trouble would end without con-
fiict of this kind was almost too much
to hope for. SO far as he could see Just
now there appeared to be no further
danger at hand, except that to be
feared from the disarmament of the
band of Indians that was still out,
though the excitement following the
fight might be the means of leading to
further trouble.
Secretary Proctor expressed regret at
the occurrence, as he had hoped for the
settlement of the trouble without fur
Their bloodshed. He had supposed that,
inasmuch as Big Foot was connected
with Sitting Bulls band, it was case
where the Indians wanted revenge for
the killing of their friend.
Both Secretary Proctor and General
Schofeld felt disinclined to talk in the
absence of detailed information.

A dispatch from Abilene to the Kan
sas City Star says the republicans OF
northwest Kansas would much rather
see a central or western Kansas man
endorsed and supported by the repub-
lican caucus than ingalls, and that
enough alliance representatives would
vote for such candidate to insure his
election. There is much good sense in
this and it might prove correct if it
could be carried out, but there will be
no other name considered than that of
the present senior senator. The whole
campaign has been fought on an In
gals basis with a desperation that has
indicated distrust of any other republic
can except the Atchison statesman. The
have made their struggle
for his reelection. There is little use
in talking of anyone else than Ingalls,
at this late date.

Republican Possibilities.

who will be the presidential candi-
dates in 1922
81 must confess that 1 am not wise
enough to tell. That question must
work itself out in time. 1 found Pres
ident Harrison very popular in the
south. If the Mckinley bill proves to
be popular and good times come back
to the farmer; if we pass the shipping
bills and extend American commerce
as we can do it, there is no reason why
President Harrison should not receive
very largely the benefit of it. Harrison
has had an absolutely clean admins
tration; even democratic malice could
not attack it in the campaign just
closed except for its generosity to the
soldiers. Harrison has followed the
party"
"How about Mr.. Blaine?"
''Mr. Blaine is the conspicuous figure
of American politics today, as he will
be as long as he lives. 1 think he is
the greatest individual force in the
world today. 1 don't think he will
seek the nomination. l don't think he
really desires it; but 1 don't think he
would refuse il. "-[Clsrkson's Inter

The Lease Lecture.

Two things were plainly and con-
clusively settled by the lecture given
by Mrs. Lease in Abilene Saturday
night.
One thing is that the enthusiasm in
the cause of the laboring man is in
Kansas not as deep as the pocketbook.
The farmers of the state will not to
any great extent pay even 80 cents (no
matter if lecture by their famous
woman speaker is thrown in to help
along so respectable a cause as the
founding of library for the Knights
of Labor. AS a matter of fact the
farmers know that neither themselves
nor the laboring men of Kansas are
suffering. When they could get to-
gether, have pIcnics and imagine they
we're soaring the town people" out of
their boots they were ready to pitch in
and have hurrah time. But when it
comes to taking part in an active and
expensive effort, independent of poll
tics, to aid the working men they will
not do it. Whatever may be the sue
cess with which such movements may
meet in the great eastern cities whose
pavements ever reSound with the clank
of toilers' feet, it remains true that out
here in prosperous, advancing Kansas
less than 200 persons can be found to
pay an admission fee in the working
mems interest for an entertainment to
which over 900 crowded when it was
free. The sympathy for the labOrers
is not theTe-if it were there they
would have filled the opera house to
overlooking the reason it is not
there is because the farmers themselves
have risen to independence, constant
ly see others who are doing so aud be-
Iieve that there is a chance for all.
Their action gives the lie to the calam-
ity hOwlers and shows the real basis of
the late political whirlwind.
Another self-evident conclusion is
that Mrs. Lease has in Abilene shown
herself entirely demagogue and not
at all thinker When SIZE could ap-
peal to the passions of and heap viru-
lent abuse upon her opponents, abuse
which no man dared to give and
scarcely any other woman would have
stopped to, she could tear passion to
tatters, to very rags and split the ears
of the grOundlings, " "o'erdoing Terga-
mant," and keep up the tempest for
five hours at stretch. But when with
the election over she came to talk calm
ly on a sociological question, one which
required thoughtful preparation and
wide reading, she proved entirely lack
ing in the first element of a public
speaker--a mind broad enough to
grasp her subject and handle it iutelli-
gently. Her lecture was a disappoint-
ment both in delivery and thought,
little as was expected of her.
The lecture proved a failure both
financially and Internationally and the
reason is not hard to find-the manag-
ers mistOOk temporary ante-election
excitement in speaker and audience for
a permanent condition.
