Nearly all colds are slight at first, but
their tendency is to so lower the system
that the sufferer becomes ready victim to
any prevalent disease. The use of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, in the beginning OF a
cold, would guard against the danger.

LoSGvIEw, GREGG COUNTY, TEX, Sept.
15.-At a N. to-day quite serious shoot
ing affair took place between Ohio +. Lane,
a young lawyer of this place, and John Nc
Cam, John HammondS and Tol May, a
bridge foreman on the Sabine Valley rail
! road 1t seems party of four were having
a game and Mr.. Lane made some remark
seattle took place and Mr.. Mccain took Mr..
Lanes pistol from him. Mir. Lane being
unable to secure it got another pistol and
found the men and with a presented pistol
demanded his property, when Mr.. May
sprang at him and in the scuffie the pistol
went OFF shooting Mr.. May through the
hand and the same ball striking Mr.. Ham
monds on the left side near the heart, but
the ball struck rib and glazed round
coming out almost point blank with the
course taken when it struck him. making it
appear like the man was shot through the
heart. THE GAZETTE reporter visited MIR.
Lane at his room and found he was wounded
in the thigh and forefnger of his left hand.
and bore evidence of rough usage at some
ones hands. He said that the parties had
OVerpowered him and diSdrmed him and
slapped his face and badly abused him.
THE GAZETTE reporter then saw Messrs.
May and Hammonds and got in substance
the following account of the affair: After
the game broke up Mr.. Lane and Mccain
became involved in Il difficulty when MIR.
Lane drew revolver, which Mr.. Mccain
took away from him and would not return
it. That after some time the party were
eating lunch when Mr.. Lane appeared
with a drawn pistol and demanded his pis
tol. MIR. May says he grabbed the pistol
and himself and Mr.. Lane fell on the floor
when the pistol was diSchar ed, shooting
him through the hand and also going
through Mr.. Hammonds as described, after
which Mr.. Lane ran away, but returned
afterwards and several shots were ex-
changed at long range between h i'm, Lane
and Mccain. but without effect.
The preliminary trial of c. c. West, Luz
cian Evans and Boyle commenced to-day.
The trial passed without any interruption
to-day, but only two witnesses were exam
ined on account of the ground that must be
covered to forge the long and tedious chain
of evidence. So far it can not be predicted
how the examination viii terminate. The
Jail is strongly guarded by the Campbell
Guards, and the boys il blue were about
the courthouse in easy call during the eX-
animation.
Tue only disturbance at the jail, where
the Campbell Guards are stationed for the
safety of the three prisoners, was man
who attempted TO capture Private Warlick,
who was on duty ut the rear of the jail
Warlick tried TO capture the man, but after
a short chase the man drew his pistol and
Wariick fired his musket at him without
effect, after which the man ran away.

4 BOLD STEP.

Should il turn out that the cabled re-
port is true, that British naval force,
acting under instruction, has seized a
seaport in the island of Mitylene, and
is certifying it, there can be no doubt
that the peace Of Europe hangs but on
thread.
NIitylene-the ancient Lesbos-is at
present Turkish possession, though
the greater part of its people are
Greeks. The porte cannot fail to take
action on this fragrant invasion OF Tur-
keys territory. We all know what
that action would be if Turkey were q
power capable of backing up its de-
mands with an adequate force. Had
the seizure been OF German or French
OF Russian territory, not twenty-four
hours would have elapsed before an act
ual condition of war would be on hand,
unless the English government should
hasten to apologize, disavow the re-
sponsibility of the act, and punish the
invaders of a friendly powers domain.
But with Turkey-why, Turkey is sick,
and it is safe enough to despoil her of
an island here and there unless some
other power steps in and raises an OBJ
lection.
That such objection will be raised is
pretty certain. Every nation of Eu-
rope is engaged in maintaining the
"balance of power"-that is, in keeping
the other governments from adding to
their strength. The autonomy and
territorial unity OF Switzerland, Hol-
land and Belgium would not be MAIN
tanned for month if it were not that
the five great powers guard them from
each other, not for the sake of presery-
ing the indie )endence Of the weaker, but
to keep from making one OF the great
powers stronger by the seizure of more
territory. But in the case of Turkey
it is somewhat different. The drie-
bund-a coalition of Germany, Austria,
and Italy. to which it is believed
England is party-is engaged in
checking Russia and France. which
are uni:es by treaty of mutual Obliga-
.itl -ad Interest. Russia will object

Do Right for Right'a Sake.

Great was the alarm in the palace OF
Rome. The empress had lost her costly
diadem aud it could not be found. They
searched in every direction, but it was all
in vain. Finally, it was proclaimed in the
public streets: "The empress has lost a
precious diadem. Whoever restores it
within thirty days shall receive princely
reward. But he who delays, and brings it
after thirty days. shall lose his head"
Among the crowds that thronged Rome's
stately hslls and thoroughfares was an
eastern sage, learned man, who loved
goodness and lived righteous life. 1t
CHANGED one night as he was strolling I'D
and down beneath the clear moonlit sky
he saw the diadem sparkling at his feet.
He seized it quickly and brought it to his
dwelling, and then, after the thirty days
had expired, returned it to the empress.
What dost thou mean by this7" she in
CURED. why didst thou delay until this
hour: Dost thou know the penaltys"
II delayed until now" the sage answered
calmly, $50 that thou might know that
return your diadem not for the sake OF the
reward, still less out of fear of punishment,
but solely to comply with the Divine COM
mand not to withhold from another that
which belongs to him."
BLESSED be thy God" the empress an
swered, and dismissed the sage without
further reproof.-Dr. Abram S. Isaacs in

KERNELPoLk TALKS.

at Topeka, Kan, the other day for the
purpose of telling the Jayhawksrs that
1.-THE Alliance organization is more per-
feet in the Southern states than il is
in Kansas" Of course the Kernels
object in saying so was to stiffen the
back bone of the Kansas Alliance, and
If he had to stretch the blanket a trifle
in doing SO, no matter. 1t was all for
the good OF the cause. Gittering gen.
eralities always go without much ques-
tioning. 1t is only when men enter
into details that they often get tangled
up in their yarns, and become ridicu-
lous. Kernel Polk avoided particulars,
wherein he showed that he was par
ticularly careful and prudent Kernel.
He said, too, that in Kansas the
brethren sometimes ''kick out of the
traces. In the South they never do"
AS to the first half OF that statement,
he is doubtless correct. The average
Kansan is born kicker, unless he be a
pensioner. II he should imagine that
one of the Ten Commandments operated
to reduce his income in the slightest,
he would plant his brogans on the dec
alogue and denounce Moses as an i'm
postor. If prior to 1890 he had
conceived the notion that the
sermon on the mount contained
a word inimical to the tariff
he would have burned his Bible and re-
nOunced his creed as e miserable free
trade production OF the Golden club.
For twenty-four or five years he swore
by the tariff, knowing it to be plum
dering scheme, but trusting faithfully
in the power and willingness of his
party to make him a sharer in the
spoils. And it was only when he found
that the robber tariff was never meant
to benefit, but to plumber him, that he
began to kick against that too.
The average Kansas politician, big
or little, is a trimmer, tirne-server,
and, as Kernel Polk says,a ''kicker."
The kernel is triie mistaken. how
ever, in saying that in the South there
are no Alliance kickers. That is
slight prevarication meant, of course,
to shame the Kansan out OF his beset
ting sin, and may be passed without
serious complaint. We all know, and
none better than Brer Polk, that the
Texas Alliance contains a good many
kickers who refuse to accept his sub
treasury humbuggery. There is not
state in the South, perhaps, where the
same may not be said of the Alliance.
The order is not by any means a unit
down here, and we all know it. But il
by misrepresenting the facts Kernel
Hocus-Pocus can solidify the brethren
in Kansas, let him blow as hot or as
cold as he likes and more power to his
elbow

IT would be something extraordinary,
even in American politics, were the
New York Democrats to nominate Hill
for reelection, and he were TO accept.
He is now serving his second term as
governor OF New York, and he is also
United States senator-elect from that
state. But he will not accept nolni-
nation, if it is rendered him. To do so
would demand that he vacate his seat
in the senate, where a Democrat is
much more needed than as governor of
New York, and to do an act that would
lessen the Democratic strength in that
branch of congress would make Gov
erncr Hill much weaker candidate
for the Democratic nomination for pres
ilent.

to this Illegal and rapacious seizure OF
the territory Of friendly power, and
then we shall see if diplomacy can
stave off war by mutual concessions.
All of the other powers will insist in
coming in for share of the spoils. AS
long as all OF them can be satisfied,
peace may be maintained; but when
one of them makes up its mind that the
pie is not being cut up fairly, and that
it is not getting its share, there is
likely to be trouble.
AS long as only Turkey is to be dealt
with the disturbance won't amount to
much. for the English navy can blow
the Turkish navy out of water
without an effort. The Turk may be
SO outraged that, regardless of conse-
quences, he will rush into war, but
that in itself will amount to little, as
long as it doesn't drag others into the
row, which is most probable conse-

A NEW ALLIANCE.
The Missouri Farmers Eject Permanent
Organization.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. ia meeting of
the Missouri delegation to the anti-third
party convention which met here this
morning was held tonight for the
purpose of forming q new state
Alliance. A permanent organization was
effected by the election of officers
as follows: T. w. Davidson. president,
and ]. X. Pool, secretary, and an executive
committee. This action of the Missouri
delegates is very significant. inasnuch as
it points without doubt to the with
drawal of the arti-su6-treasury men from
the old organization and the formation
of new order on their line of thought.
While there is not the slightest doubt that
there is some opposition to the organization
of new national Alliance it is said that
the action or the Missouri delegation is one
of the best possible strokes OF policy to in
tiuence the objections and force them to fall
into line in the convention tomorrow.
There is no question but that the foundas
ton will be laid here for an organization
which will absorb the best element of the
Farmers Alliance and in the near future
become powerful organization. Some of
the Missouri delegation say they have not
succeeded, but outsiders who We're present
at the meeting say the new organization is
an accomplished fact.
