A tired little woman was shop

he came home that night clean shaven.
His wife herself opened the door, and at

AN APACHE INDIAN EXPLOIT.

scouting 10 ulle nOrGn Oh L Inc nudge,
just before the crisis of January,
1891, when the sagaeity and address
of General Miles averted one Of the
most frightful Of Indian wars.
We had several sharp skirmishes
with the hostiles, who were in an
ugly temper and eager for a fight
at any time. They are fine horse
men, and, when in the mood, will
fight like tigers. We had lost two
men, two others were wounded, and
Ichad bullet hole through my hat,
which was about as close as q mis-
sile could come without doing dam
age.
1t was near the middle Of the aft
ernoon when a smoke to the west
ward drew us in that direction. We
galloped through a stretch of open
timber, over a slight rise in the prai-
rie, and then came in sight Of a set
tiers house on fire hardly an eighth
Of a mile away.
What surprised us was that we
had not heard the report Of gun,
nor shout, nor was living per-
son in sight. 1t looked as if the
placed had been abandoned by the
owner and his family and that the
fire had either broken out accident
ally, or that a party of dusky raid
eEs had set fire to it and left.
Still there was no knowing what
it;all might mean, and every one of
us was on the qui vive as we rode
forward at an easy canter with our
eyes fixed on the blazing structure.
We were within 100 yards, riding
close together, when crack! bang!
from the other side Of the flames
came a volley which emptied two
Of our saddles.
We were staggered for a moment
There were only ten left, but we
were used to danger Of that kind,
though caught off our guard for the
moment. Captain Warton uttered
a sharp word Of command, and the
nextmoment we Numbered past the
house and were hot on the heels of
three dusky fellows, running for
life toward a hummock, barely 100
yards distant. Let it suffice to say
that, although that wooded knoll
was their destination, they failed to
arrive there.
1t was all over in a twinkling, as
may be said. The whole affair was
begun and ended in such short or
der that we found ourselves doubt
ing whether it was a dream or an
actuality. There was no mistake
however, in this case, and we rode
slowly back to see whether we coul6
do anything for the two motionles'
forms stretched out on the prairie
When we reached them we imme
diately saw that they were beyond
help. Then we turned to look afte1
the two horses that. had gallope(
some distance to the left and wer,
circling aimlessly about waiting TO
some one to take charge of them.
"Hello! look there!" exclaimed
Captain Dunmore. Odd you eve:
see the like?"
Where he had come from no on
could tell, but an Indian was walk
ing slowly over the prairie in tn
direction Of Private Gardner

OUR DUTY AND OUR OPPOR.
TUNITY,

That every part OF America is in dan
ger from cholera goes without saying
1t flows readily along the lines of travel
1t is essentially a filth disease. 1t ira
verses continents regardless of season.
1t has come to America in the summer
and in the winter 1t makes itself at
home in ship on the ocean where the
air is as pure as in the mountains.
Whether the disease is to come here or
not, we owe it to Asheville to have at
least two one-stOry buildings perfectly
adapted to the reception of any one at
tackled with any contagious disease or
whom it is necessary to quarantine
1t is cruel and cowardly for any COM
munity to neglect the sick or make the
suspected suffer. Ashevlle should be
prepared to say to the world, No con.
tagious or infectious disease shall
be allowed here, cholera, small
pox, scarlet fever or what not
neither shall any stranger passing
this way suffer from neglect if attacked
whilst here by the most deadly disease.
Neglect to providein time against these
diseases will be disgrace to our civili-
zation.
To secure Asheylle in the way sug,
gested would cost almost nothing. To
suffer from neglect might cost the city
more than one would like to count.
Now is the time.

ROXING AND ss.VGGuHG

The most shameless, disgusting sight
Of the affair is to see l 1000 people bury
ing from every part of the country to
New Orleans to witness this bloody,
savage mauling between two h~gc scien
tihc brutes. 1t is the shame of the CON
tinent.-Wiming,on Messenger.
The case does not seem to us quite as
bad as that. We are 65, 900, 900 of peo-
pie. Perhaps one million OF men-no
women-would have expressed desire
to see the fight. That leaves ca 900 600
OF us uncontaminated BY the craze And
of the one million who think they would
like to have seen the sluGging, at least
twenty per cent. would find themselves
mistaken when they had seen a round or
two. Two things should be remembered :
That the Anglo-Saxon dearly loves a
contest of any kind, considered merely as
contest, and the other is that few who
take an interest at long range in such
matters and think they really want to
see fight, know what 1t actually means
They may have seen an exhibition match
OF boXing-a very pretty Sight-and have
an idea that slugging is akin to that. Ii
they could realize that at least one OF the
men is probably to have his face pounded
out Of all semblance to the human coun-
tcnance-that he is to be all but killed
nothing would induce them to see the
match.
We think the Wilmington Messenger
has exaggerated.

STATE POLITICS.

Mr.. J. S, Bell, OF the Ninth district, a
member of the last Senate, has for three
years been the Alliance lecturer in the
Ninth district. He declined to be the
lecturer for the Third party and resigned
He has now received assignments to
make Democratic speeches.
Judge Walter Clark, of the North Caroli-
ma Supreme court, was in Weldon Wednes
day night. The Judge said that tine Old
North State would undoubtedly go for
Cleveland and Carr November next.
Many of the Third party men have
said they would return to the Demo
cratic party if a Radical State ticket
was put out. Now is their chance.

tion sent two negroes to the State coi-
vention. They favored a straightout Re

Failure of An Attempt to rSisnrrn
Facts.

To break the force of facts gathered by
he New York World showing tive hun,
dred strikes, lockouts and reduction OF
wages in protected industries, the Amer.
lean Economist, the high tariff organ,
published a list OF twcnty.eight protected
industries in which wages were said to
have been increased under the Mckinley
law.
The list Of twcnty-eight alleged III
creases of wages has been nvesti-
gated by Mr., John Dewitt War
ner and found to be fallacious.
Two of the establishments named in
the Economist were found not to have
any existence. One employed two men,
and the wages of one OF the two had
been increased from 35 cents a day to so
cents a day. The other mans wages
had been stationary at S1.25. In seven
teen of the twcnty-eight establishments
the employees denied that there had been
any increase of wages since the McKin-
ley Act was passed. lnsevcral there had
been reductions of WAGES.

From the New York World.
Four years ago when the Democracy

Dougherty, his figure erect, his sable

point to point of the great chamber in a
silent mandate of silence. He was pale,
his lips were set tight together, the in
splration OF the moment and the sur
roundings were written i'll the pose OF
his figure and on every lireamcnt.
His first words were slow, resonant,
graceful, but thrilling with iJrce and
pent-up feeling. The people hung in
silence on his accents. After tracing the
outlines of the situation Doughcrty
paused.

HAPPENINGS IN NORTH CAROLINA

-Ex- Congressman Jesse Z. YcateS, OF
North Carolina, died in Washington re-
Gently after lingering illness. He was a
member of the 44th, 18th and 10th Con
crosses.
The Democratic State Executive
committee nominated James c. Mac
Rae for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge !. J. Davis.
Mr.. w. B. TilIery of Weldon pulled up
a weed in the canal and watch and
chain with it. The watch was an old
fashioned hunting.case gold timepiece,
but the chain was brass, and was firmly
imbedded in the body of the weed.
News has been received of terrible
death in Craven county. Frank Atkin-
son was caught in a machine belt and
carried around a pulley. His head
struck an iron bar half an inch thick and
two inches wide, bent the bar, and broke
the 14.inch belt, vet he lived over three
hours.
-Lenoir Topic: Several weeks ago
Mr.. L. M. Dugger's infant child died and,
instead of burying the body in grave
by itself, he opened the grave of his dead
wife, removed the top of the coffin, and
laid the little child gently to rest in the
arms of it's sleeping mother. 1t was a
beautiful sentiment, even if The manner oi
carrying it into effect was eccentric.
-Lenoir Topic: Mr.. Stringfellow, a
rich Alabamian, has bought Mr.. L. w
Estes's fine Silver Lake place at Blowing
Rock,and proposes to erect beautiful ano
costly residence on the premises and to
make other extensive improvements, in
tending to make Silver Lake his summer
residence. Mr.. Estes will hold the prop.
erty till April, when, we fear, he will pull
up stakes and go to~Idaho.
George Harper, John Aaron, and W.
H. Mills, three desperate colored crimi-
mails, escaped from Weldon Jail. Harper
and Aaron were soon recaptured. They
were recently convicted of brutally mutt
lating Richard Burt, and sentenced to
fifty years each in the penitentiary.
Mills is the identical William Henry who
attempted to murder Mr.. NJ. Shaw at
his store in Halifax county.
