The Southern newspapers have in
creased their advertising rates very
little, II any, within the last ten
years, Notwithstanding the great in
crease in their cost. Newspapers
which, few years ago, earned fair
profit are now barely abba to pay
their expenses. A great many news
papers have changed hands during
the last few years, aud this fact is
sufficient evidence that their expenses
we're greater than their receipts. The

marvels in shipbuilding, seems TO
have made a revolution in yachts. 1t

in steam vessels, since the queer

prise on the waters Of New York

wonder. His reply was the produc-
ton Of steam yachts still faster than
the Stiletto. TO prove this theory
more conclusive lac has built cutter

LOUISVILLE, KY, July IA des-

about fifteen of the gang were sta
toned in ambush along the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, and two of
their number came just within the
citsaAAses andpr comubnced firing
Winchesters. These two were Willis
johnson and Frank Rossimus.
Chief Naples, with posse OF Of
ficers, went in pursuit of the pair
and were led into ambush. Over a
hundred shots we're exchanged.
Special officer Dorsey Williams was
shot through both thighs, and PATROL
man Tucker was shot through one
leg. The police were forced to
retire. They retrrped to tho
city aud posse Of about 100
citizens armed with rifles was soon
marching in pursuit. Finally one
squad came upon johnson and Ros-
sinus in a sharp bend in the road.
The two toughs threw up their
Winchesters aud opened fire. The
squad returned the fire and about
seventy-five shots were fred, when
the toughs took TO the bush.
Rossimus was caught few min
utes later, just as he had drawn q
bead on Officer Douglass, and in an
other moment tue officer would have
been a dead man, as he was only
about ten feet from Rossimus, who
was concealed by a bush.
Five WinchesteTs were leveled
at him, which caused him to
surrender forthwith, and he was
lodged ip the city jsil here.
Johnson sent word he would sur
render il he would be taken imme-
diately to the county Jail at Pineville,
as he feared violence here.
He accordingly surrendered to
the deputy sheriffs outside
OF the city limits and was SNUG

morning q crowd Of masked men
entered Jailer Pollitt's sleeping apart

keys to the Jail. The jsiler was
forced TO give up the keys. The
: crowd then weat into The jeil,
took Kossimus, gagged him and led
him to the big sbricge over the canal
on Twentieth street, where he was
shot several times in the head.
A rope was then fastened
around his neck and body and he

A Sad EndlnQ.

Will F. Montgomery, editor of the
Republic Sun, died last Monday morn
ing from the effects of injuries received
in the fire that rendered him and his
family homeless last week. It was on
ly through the most heroic effort that
he was enabled to save his child from
the flames, and in doing this he receiv-
ed the injuries which cost him his life.
Mr.. Montgomery was vigorous and
versatile writer and an ambitious and
ndefatigable worker; generous to q
fault and weak to resist temptation, but
with all his faults he possessed noble
heart and noble ambition. That he
died to save his child is characteristic
of the man. With The "luck" of some
lie would have attained the high mark
in Upper Peninsula journalism that his
heart yearned for.
Mr.. Montgomery was 30 years OF age
and leaves widow and two children to
mourn his untimely death, to whom
the entire community tender its deep
est sympathy in their great bereave-
mant.
