1t is fine thing for the Democratic
party of Mississippi that it has for
chairman of its State Executive Com
mittee just now such cool headed,
conservative and sensible man as
Capt. j. s. McNeily, instead of Char
ley Wright, John s. Miller or some
one of the other extreme, hot headed
editors we could name who are de-
nouncing Democratic Alliance men.

The McAllister- Besman attack on
Editors Macune and Burkitt will fall
stil-born on Alliance men and the in
telligent public generally, for the
very excellent reasons stated by Capt.
Burkitt in the last issue of the Chick
asaw Messenger. Their chirp comes
entirely too late, and their motives
are too apparent, to say nothing of
other strong facts which need not be
mentioned.

4 MaelstrOm of Difficulties.
The idea that the action of the ma
iority of the State Alliance Executive
Committee in accepting the resigna-
ton of the Mississippian and avowing
fealty to the Ocala platform will
"plunge the Order into a maelstrOm of
difficulties" is doubtless born of the
wish that such may be the case. The
Messenger desires to assure the rank
and file of the Alliance that the Order
was never stronger or more thorough
~ united in Mississippi than now.
The truth is the partisan press has eX-
aggeratcd every expression in opposi-
ton to the Sub-Treasury scheme made
by any one having connection with the
Order, with the hope of creating dis
sension, and it has been exceedingly
active in trying to make it appear that
there was great division among our
people on the subject. With here and
there a lonesome exception, the far
mers of Mississippi are a unit on the
demands made at Ocala, and they are
becoming so thoroughly grounded in
their convictions that no amount of
ridicule, denunciation, SANDER or mis-
representation can move them from
their position. The politician and Of
flee seeker who does not believe this
statement will find himself in "a mael-
strOm of difficulties" about the time
the primary closes, and although he
will doubtless be sadder. he will
surely be a wiser man.-Chickasa,c

Stiffness PersOnified.

The efforts of some papers i'll Mis-
sissippi to place the Alliance antago-
nistic to the Democracy and white SUI
prcmncy, are simply ridiculous, and
have fallen, as they should have, fiat.
And this talk of reading ont of the
Democratic party all men who favor
the Treasury bill, is the height of
ahsurdity, and if the thing were at
tempted the Sub-T's would turn the
tables, and in many counties read out
of the party some of these very high
kickers. The Democratic party in
Mississippi is in no danger from the
Alliance, for the Alliance men, with
an occasional exception, are among
the truest and best Democrats in the
State, and are ever ready to do battle
for white supremacy. That is and
must be the supreme issue i'm Missis-
sippi, but an issue that would meet
an inglorious defeat unless aided by
the great body of those constituting
the Alliance of the State. They have
stood by white supremacy in the past
and can he depended on for the future,
unwise, unjust and unCharitable re-
marks to the contrary hOtwithstand
ing. They are true men-true to
themselves, true to their families and
true to their country, and could not
and would not do otherwise.
The Sentinel hazards the opinion
that whatever demands the Alliance
may make in Mississippi will be con-
tended for in the Democratic party,
and that whether they win or lose,
will remain faithful party workers and
voters. 1t is not so certain, however,
that some of the fierce alliance critics
conld he depended upon to do like

MURDER WILL OUT.
A Shred of an Assassin's Skin Found

A Shred of an Assassin's Skin Found
Between G. Dead Girls Teeth.
PHILADELPHIA Feb. IA curious MUIR
der case and mystery. whose gruesome de-
tails would have done honor to the magma
ton of Edgar A. Poe, has just found its
denouement in the place where the CRIME
was committed, namely, in Switzerland,
near Berne.
Late in the autumn fair was held in that
city which attracted large concourse of
people from the neighboring villages.
Among these was young country girl, one
Anna Hackinger, who came with party OF
her friends and neighbors to partake of the
festivities of the occasion. Late in the even
ing they all started for their homes in a
little hamlet not far from Berne. 1t Yves
not until they reached their destination that
they discovered that Anna was missing.
Her corpse, frightfully mutilated and in
an indescribable and shocking manner, was
found a day or two after ward in field not
far from The main road. Search was at
once made for the assassin, but without
avail He was not to be discovered, and,
after the first hue and cry was over the
affair seemed to have settled down into one
of those mysteri 1uS crimes whose perpe-
traitors are destined to remain forever I'M
known.
The police authorities held in their posses
sion solitary scrap OF evidence against the
murderer. The victim was vigorous and
healthy country girl. She had fought hard,
though vainly, to preserve her honor and
her life. From between her clenohed teeth
the ph ysician intrusted with the perform
ance of the post-mortem examination had
disengaged fragment Of human flesh, torn
off in her struggles, from the face or the
hands of her assailant. This ghastly
morsel, preserved in alcohol, was put care
fully away, 80 as to be ready to produce in
case of need.
Time went on, and the baffled detectives
failed TO find even the slightest trace of the
mysterious criminal But the other dsy
young medical student in the University of
Berne was in the act of laying aside his street
coat to put on his working jacket, when his
shirt-sleeve became disarranged, revealing
at his wrist a strengthening wound which
had apparently been caused by a terrible
bite His comrades crowded around him,
overwhelming him with questions concern
ing the origin of this singular injury. He
stammered, became confused, gave incohe-
rent and contradictory answers, and, finally,
breaking away from the crowd he hurried
back to his home, seized a loaded pistol and
shot himself through the head.
The police authorities Of Berne being in
formed Of this catastrophe, caused the piece
of flesh to be produced and applied to the
young mans arm. Il fitted exactly, and
further investigation with the microscope
proved the identity Of the suicides skin with
that upon the fragment Thus, strangely,
and through the workings of the assassin's
guilty conscience, was poor Anna Hackinger
avenged. As one of the lawyers interested
in the case remarked, 'She has convicted
her murderer out of her own mouth"

How Berlin Cculist Opened the Eyes
of Pat .ent.

Vi a. EdN0nL-
From the Philadelphia Press.
BERLIN, March 1.-Some days ago a
woman was brought before Berlin oculist
who professed to be unable to open her eyes.
She had suffered, it was stated. from this
novel form of blindness for fortnight. The
oculist tried several simple and obvious
methods of cure without success, and at last
hit upon the following: He told the patient
that he would cure her by magnetism by
holding a powerful magnet in front OF the
obstinate members for fifteen minutes
"If your eyelids can resist, he said, "you
are incurable aud must remain blind for
life."
The oculist then directed an assistant to
hold two keys in front of the womsn's eyes
for the prescribed time, and at the same
time he told the patient she must open her
eyes after fifteen minutes had expired, which
would be signalsd by the striking of an
alarm clock. When the alarm struck a
nervous sensation seemed to take possession
of the woman from head to foot, for she
shook like an aspen leaf, and finally opsned
the left eye, crying as she did so: "Oi the
light. the lghtr' The right eye also opened,
and the woman seemed TO be beside herself
with joy.

From the ST. Paul Globe
CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Feb. 20-For a
month or more men living on McCloud's
cattle ranch, near the mouth of Battle
Creek, have been startled from their sleep
at night by footsteps threading the halls
and passageways of the house, doors OPEN
ing aud shutting, and an occasional laugh
OF the demoniacal, hair-raising, blood
chilling variety. All these ghostly dem
onstrations have been looked upon by the
inmates Of the house as the workings of
some practical Joker, or imagination, and
very little attention was paid to them until
about week ago, when one of the men,
about 10 o'clock or II o'clock at night,
stepped out of doors. What he saw there
almost froze his blood,
standing in the middle of the yard was a
familiar figure, that of former lady resi-
dent OF the house, clothed in the habili-
ments OF the grave. A dull, phosphores-
scent light seemed to be emitted from the
snrouoed Inquire, whose back was turned to-
"ard the man. Slowly the figure turned
and, with arms extended. it's staring ewes
SHINING with dull luster, it commenced a
movement toward this man, who stood
speuoound. For a second only did he stand
Tansnxed, then with a yell of terror he
dashed IN uDon his comrades within the
mousse. he told his story to the crowd, and
arush was made for the yard to investigate,
out the specter had fed. That night the
footsteps and noises throughout the house
we're more frequent and louder, banishing
sleep from the eyes of the now thoroughly
frightened inmates. The next night a
watch was kept for the ghostly visitor, but
1t came not.
The next night followed, and still no
snost SO the watchers had Aabout given up
a. al nope OF its temperance, when on the
IourGn night the watchers, while sitting in
uarKened room, were startled by suddenly
seeing the specter's face pressed against the
"IndoW pane. Each man seized his gun AID
VoIley was fired at the visage. When the
Slnoke had cleared away and the mems cour-

from the house the figure of woman look

lalSeo MS gun to his shoulder, took deliber-
ate aim al the figure, and pulled the trig-
yer. The figure was still there when the
SMOKE cleared away. and, looking at them
hor a moment with its staring eyes, grad

from the ranch, not even the boldest daring
TO remain; and now daylight only finds
