Regulators In Arkansas Get Worse Than
They Mcattto Give.
NEWTON. Mo-, July 13.--A report comes
from across tho Arkansas limo Of a case
wherein a bind of regulators got decidedly
the worst of All attempt 40 reform one OF
their neighbours. Charles Lawson has been
living about eight miles from Newton. He
was unfortunate enough to incur the ill-wiil
Of a member of the Black Gaps, by select
ing a piece Of timber land that
had been occupied by that men,
Der rs a squatter. This aauatter. James
Daggett. had his full amount of land from
the government, but wished to hold a piece
Of timber for his brother. Lawson made
his entry. and after u tedious contest sue
ceeded in getting his patent. On June q
Lawson received Il letter warning him that
he would be given forty eight hours to get
away in, and if he was not gone then he
would have to take the consequences.
Lawson was not scared and went about
his business. The night Of the 30tll, rs he
was entering his yard, having been in town.
he was suddenly confronted by about ten
heads covered with black caps. He was
grasped and tied and the band started off
TO the timber with him. Mrs. Lawson
heard the disturb ance, and quickly OWNED
what was going on. She Crashed her hus-
dusk until the band stopped and pro-
ceeded to strip the victim, prepara-
tory to administer ng the whipping. Just
as the lash Was raised to give the first blow
n shot rang out and the whipper dropped.
In quick success ion came two more shots,
and two more fell. The rema inder of the
Black Gaps fed, panic-stricken en-, while the
brave little woman pumped lead after them.
While Mrs. Lawson was cutting her hus-
bands bonds the last two who fell crawled
away in the darkness and escaped, but tho
whipper lay with . broken thigh. When
his black raiment was stripped from him it
was found that it was Daggett, and he was
sent home by the man who was about to be
his victim. When the matter became known
the indignation Of the %neighbors was SO
great that they set in to aunt down the
band, and succeeded in placing. five of them
in Jail, where they now lie awaiting trial.

DELAYS TO TRAVEL.

h Northern Pacific Expects to Have
Through Service To-day.
For the past three days the west bound
express from Helena on the Northern Pa
cifo has been made up here. This was due
to the large number of washouts along the
line through North Dakota, caused by the
unusually heavy rainfall. Trains out OF
st. Paul have been delayed at Mandan and
a large number Of passengers are reported
storm bound there. The washouts are all
small ones. though there are many of them,
and a large force of men are at work re-
pairing damage. The east bound train
which went through here Sunday night was
delayed in North Dakota, but the COMPANY
expects the one which left here last night
to have an uninterrupted run to st. Paul.

Campbell WIN BE Renominated on the
First Ballot.
CLEVELAND, July 13.-Delegates to the
Ohio Democratic convention which meets
Wednesday, are rapidly gathering here.
Allen w. Thurman, son of the "Old Ro-
man. will be temporary chairman. 1t is
conceded by all unprejudiced ones that
Gov. Campbell will be r~enominated on the
first ballot. His opponents are Lawrence
l.. Neal, Of Chillicothe, and Virgil p. Kline,
Of Cleveland. Up to to-day Neal was the
principal competitor. but In a few hours the
makes him the only formidable opponent
of Campbell. The logic of the situation
has caused all the anti-Campbell men to
combine under the battle cry of Anything
to beat Campbell" and the question was
who was the most suitable candidate. 10
sentiment. 1t is understood the anti-Camp-
b~ellittes tried hard to create a break in the
ranks of the enemy, but the chairman of
the state central committee tonight be-
lieves Campbell will be nominated On the
first ballot. The feeling against Campbell
among the Hamilton county delegates is so
strong that he is a very sanguine man in
deed who would predict harmony in the
convention. Gov. Campbell's friends are
complaining of the circulation of a story to
the effect that he contemplates declining
the nomination after winning the fight, and
that the Campbell men will then throw the
nomination to Mcmahon, of Dayton. The
story receives no general credence.
The platform is the subject Of much dis
c~ussion. It has been decided that the
party will stand by its position of a year
ago on all the leading issues, commend the
Campbell administration, denounce the
republican national administration, de-
nounoe the Fifty-first congress for extrava-
ganoe, denounce the Mckinley tariff bill,
and demand a reduction of tariff taxes.
While the free coinage sentiment is strong,
there is lively opposition to it, and many
conservative democrats are urging that the
financial question be not made an issue
at all.

SECRET EXECUTIONS.

When the legislature of New York
state passed a bill for the purpose of en-
suring greater secrecy at executions, it
was proceeding on a well-recognized
principle. From every standpoint, the
old system of public execution had
proved itself a moral failure. For Grim
inal and spectator alike the holiday sur
r%oundings robbed the last penalty of the
law of a great many of the terrors which
should accompany its legal fulfllment.
General publicity made a hanging q
thing familiar to the eyes of all who
cared to see it, and stirred in many
minds a vulgar and morbid curiosity
that was entirely r~eprehensible. 1t is
no light matter to take away from a fell
low creature the breath of human life,
the one thing that can never be re-
stored. There are many wise and
thoughtful men whose opposition to the
infection of the death penalty is out
spoken and resolute. They refuse to
press to this extreme the theory of an
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
and they urge that a deterrent effect, of
which SO much has been SAID, fails to
achieve the end that is claimed for it.
Unfortunately for the success of the
cause they champion, statistics seem to
prove unfalteringly that, wherever CAPT
tai punishment has been abolished,
there has beer an abnormal increase in
murders and other crimes. Society
must protect itself. Until some other
effective penalty has been devised, the
punishment by death must remain
upon our statute books, to terrify those
for whom no other punishment has ter
rors.
But, while the principle of privacy at
executions is both right and laudable.
the conflicting reports of the recent exc.
cutions at Sing Sing have stirred in the
public mind a feeling of panied uncor-
tainty. The few witnesses who were
present, were sworn, il seems to secrecy,
That, we believe, was a mistaken course
Their act was not a criminal one. II

DEATH ALONE.

"A We'll kuOWu duu Gdiciui SolAcS-
pondent at Washington sums up a review
Of the political situation in the repub-
lican camp by the assertion that grim
death alone can prevent Blaine from re-
ceiving the republican nomination. He
also says that the Blaine men, if the
condition of the premier's health Is such
that he cannot hazard his life on the
excitement of the campaign, will be
transferred to Gen. Alger, who is sup
posed to be all right as a presidential
candidate. The correspondent says:
"Thsre has been a decided unification
OF sentiment among politicians as to the
choice OF the republican party for the
next campaign. II James G. Blaine is
anything like a robust man when the
national convention meets he will be
chosen leader. There Is no doubt about
this in the minds Of men who make pol
itics a study, All eyes are turned
toward Bar Harbor. Every report rela-
tive to Blaine's health is read with avid
ity. The friends of the man from Maine
look upon the roseate side. They have
no hesitancy in saying that he will be a
vigorous man within the next year. 1t
is his political enemies who instigate the
reports relative to his alleged precarious
physical condition.
"The uncertainty as to Blalne's inten-
tions is at an end at last. He is not
seeking the nomination but if he is
named by the convention and his health
permits him to make the campaign, he
will accept the honor. There is no
longer any doubt N this point. Sena-
tor Pettigrew, Of South Dakota, has
come out boldly and asserted this fact.
Gen. Alger, of Michigan, has also very
recently indicated his belief that Mr..
Blaine will be the next republican can
didate for president. 1t is pretty gen
orally understood that Gen. Alger knows
whereof he speaks. That there is an
understanding between Blaine and AL
ger is not doubted. By this compact
the Alger wing Of the party is TO give
Blaine all possible support at the con-
vention. But if Blaine. is unable 10
make the race his l~ieutenauts are under
instructions to manipulate every politi-
cal string in the interest of the Wolver-
inc statesman. In confirmation of this
it is only necessary to refer to the re-
cent interview of Secretary Humphrey,
of the National Republican league, IN
which he asserted that he found the
political sentiment where he had been
able to gather any information in favor
of Blaine's nomination. 1t is we'll known
to the politicians that Humphrey car
ried cut the desires of President Clark
son when he caused this interview to be
printed. Clarkson is the go-between in
making this compact between Blaine
and Alger.
"The Harrison mon fear Alger pretty
nearly as badly as they do Blaine. II
Blaine isn't able to accept the nomina-
ton he is strong enough to permit his
political mantle to fall upon the shout
ders of Alger. This is why the friends
of Harrison fear the Michigan states
man at this time.
1.-THE most noticeable feature in con
nection with the Blaine situation is the
fact that many influential newspapers
in the east have taken a decided stand.
They have come out boldly for Blaine"
