BURNED At THE STAKE.
Mrs. Jewell Decided the Manner Of His Death
Coroner's Verdict

Texarkana, Feb. 22.-The burn
ing of the negro Ed. Coy is the all
absorbing topic. 1t is now known
that Mrs. Jewell was allowed to
name the manner of death, that of
burning, and that she came to town
with the firm resolve of lighting the
funeral pyre with her own hands.
During the seven days search a
signal had been arranged upon to
be given from JEWELS house just
as soon as the wretch was arrested,
in order that all the ~neighbors
might come and take part in the
further proceeding. A large worn.
out circular saw blade was hung
upon pole, and when it became
definitely known that Coy was cap
tured, a man took up an ak and
struck the blade number of blows
making a sound that could be
heard two or three miles. This
was the signal, and soon the whole
ne;ghborhood was moving in one
direction with only one purpose.
When Mrs. Jewell identified the
negro her husband drew revolver
and insisted on shooting him.
Coroner Dean held an inquest
that night, the verdict being that
deceased came to his death by
burning at the hands of parties un-
known. The charred and black
ened remains of Coy were picked
up about II o'clock and after being
placed in neat pine box were con-
veyed to the undertaker's rooms
were viewed by hundreds of cur
ious spectators. The remains were
buried next morning. The negroes
are very much worked up over the
affair and have held several meet
ings. While they concede that
Coy deserved death, they claim
that burning at the stake was too
severe; that hanging or shooting
would have been more civilized.

1t was trifiing incident which
brought forth this thank offering.
Not long ago Mr.. Rockefeller, who
is a great walker, was annoyed by
shoe-nail chatting his toe. He
paid little attention to it, excepting
to have the nail removed, and after
a day or so forgot it. But the little
wound developed serious case of
blood poisoning and at one time
there were grave doubts about his
recovering. His wife. while at
tending him, was inoculated with
the poison and became dangerously
i'll. They both recovered, but
it was some time before Mr.. Rookie
Teller regained his usual health.
This is the third gift he has be-
slowed on the University of Chicago.

A coWBoy RIDES A COW.

Boston Globe.
G. w. Mockey, a cowboy con-
nected with big ranch in the
Cherokee strip, had a narrow es-
cape from a terrible death a few
days ago..
Mockey had been spending the
day with some friends and had
imbibed quite freely, and when he
mounted his pony and started
home he was hardly sober enough
to sit in his saddle.
He rode off and got about half
way home when an irresistible de-
sire to sleep took possession of him
and he got off his horse, lay down
on the ground and slept away.
1t was broad daylight when
Mockey awoke and looked around
for his pony; not seeing it he
jumped up hastily and began call
ing him. He shouted at the top of
his voice time and again, and then
hearing a rumbling noise in the
rear, he looked around and saw
something that for moment made
his blood run cold.
He had fogotten that range cattle
answer to call, and there, not
more than 200 yards away, was a
herd of long horned cattle bearing
down upon him.
Straight at him they made, and
1t appeared there there was nothing
left to do but run for it. This, how.
ever, seemed useless, as range cat.
tie can run like racers.
knowing that escape in front was
impossible, Mockey coolly turned
and ran straight at the leaders.
The cowboy jumped over the
lowered heads of the front rank and
fell sprawling on their backs.
There was not room for him to fall
to the ground, the cattle were so
close together.
Straddling one Of the animals he
held firmly to the seat.
Slowly the heard Stacked its pace,
and little by little the frightened
COW which Mockey rode drew
ahead, the cowboy digging into It's
TANKS with his spurs, driving il
almost wild.

He rode this way for miles, and
then jumped off and made his way
home after the narrowest escape he
had ever had during the years he
he had spent on the range.

JERRY SIMPSON on POLITICS.

JERRT' SIMPSON ON POLITICS.
His Party Will Put Up a Presidential Candidate
and Ask for Free Trade.
Chicago News.
Between visiting Jackson park,
entertaining his friends at the hotel
and being entertained by them at
a reception in his honor, Jerry
Simpson was busy man yesterday.
He got a chance to talk good deal
of politics. He declared that he
was not subtreasury or free silver
crank
'Both the sub-treasury scheme
and free-coinage are losing strength
among the farmers" he said. ain
my opinion the former will be
dropped and the latter must give
way to the, tariff"
"What will the St. Louis confer
ence do?"
1T will authorize the calling of
a national convention and presi-
Dental candidate will be placed in
the field by the latter on a short
platform dealing with the land
question, the tariff, transportation
and finance" - .
"What position will be taken on
the tariff question:"
can effort will be made to get a
more radical declaration on the
subject than any party has yet
ventured. We will 60 as near to a
demand for absolute free trade as
is possible"
"Who will be the third-party
candidate?" Do
''That is hard to tell. Gen James
B. Weaver, of Iowa is one of the
favorites. He is a free trader and
believes in the doctrines of the most
advanced tax-reformers."
what is the new party going to
say on the land question:"
Enough, l think to warrant the
Henry George men in support
ing it,"
'Are you opposed to option deal
ing?"
mo. The Hatch Washburn fight
is ridiculous. Option dealing acts
merely as regulator of the mar
kets. 1t hurts no one but the fell
low who thinks the market is going
up when it goes the other way"
"Whom will the democrats NOM
mate, Mr.. Simpson,"
II think they will put up Hill.
He seems to command the situa-
ton now. [ certainly hope that he
will get the nomination, as it would
give the new party an immense
BOOM"
Mr.. Simpson is member of the
committee on territories, and de-
clares he will make an effort to
have the Cherokee strip opened for
settlement, not as Oklahoma was
opened, but under a system of
leasing. AS member of the COM
mittee on irrigation he says he will
try to preserve the rights of the
people in the water supply of the
arid region.
"The reservoirs will be kept out
of the clutches Of the monopolists,"
he said, "if can have my way"
1t is also likely that in the con-
struction of the reservoirs he will
try have it provided that tho cost
shall be borne by those who own
the land to be benefited.

noon, an error on the part of criminal
court bailiff leading to the meeting of
husband and wife, who thought each
other dead.
George and Lena Hillinan lived hap
PLY at Oak Park. One night, not so
long ago, George did not come home at
his usual hour. and his wife started to
look for him. He returned home and
then went out on hunt for her While
she was wandering around the police
picked her up, and after short stay at
the Detention hospital she was sent to
Dunning, her identity being unrevealed.
Almost the same performance was gone
through with the husband. He was to
be sent to the poorhouse, but an intelli-
gent bailiff got him mixed with an in
sane patient named Larson and he was
sent to the asylum.
The chief physician, who knew Hill
man, soon Strengthened the case out
when Larson" was placed on the books.
He learned the unfortunate mans story,
and Wednesday located the wife in one
of the cottages occupied by women.
The matter was reported by Superin-
tendent Sawyer to the county commits
sioners, and Thursday, in the presence
of Commissioners Spofford, Ballard and
Stauber, the reunion took place. Hill.

The Height of the Clouds,

The highest clouds, cirrus and cir,
70 stratus, rise on an average to a
height of nearly $4,000 feet The
middle clouds keep at from about
1000 to %. 600 feet above the sur.
face of the earth; the lower clouds
seldom lower than 5000 or higher
than 1000 feet. The cumulus clouds
float with their lower surface at a
height of from 1900 to 5000 feet
while their submits frequently ex-
tend upward to a height of 1900
The tops of the Alps are often com
pletely hidden by clouds of the third

are frequently seen shooting up the

Antiquity Of shoemakiny.

The first sole protector or rudimentary
shoe was the sandal, which consisted Of
sole of some kind of skin or Of wood,
held in place by straps and thongs. In
all countries, ancient and modern, which
have laid any claims to even the rudest
kind of civilization. some kind of COW
ering or protector for the feet has been
recognized as part and parcel of the
wearing apparel. The thong fastened
sandals of the Greeks and Egyptians
were the shoes of Holy Writ In Egypt
the materials used by the snoernake-
were strips of the papyrus, the paper
reed of the Nile Woven strips of papy-
rus made light and durable foot cover
ing.
As seen by paintings on the walls Of
Thebes, shoemaking formed distinct
branch of trade in the time of the reign
of Thothmes III, about 1 ,495 years before
Christ, or about the time of the flight of
the Israelites. Foot coverings of the Ro-
mans were both the highly ornamented
sandal and the boot reaching to or above
the knee. st. Louis Republic.

Indians Rnx Clocks

Awhile ago a Yankee peddler
came on the Sioux reservation with
large supply of brass clocks. They
looked very gay and caught the eyes
of the red brothers. When the Yam
kee left the reservation every head
of a family had clock and he had g
two horse load of silver dollars The
novelty of striking clock soon wore
off and the Indians wanted to see
what was inside them. They discov-
cred wealth of wheels and lost no
time in taking them out. Many OF
them are now richly priced orna-
ments, doing duty as earrings, hang
ing from the ears of brave bucks and
dashing squaws.-Cor. Indianapolis

Cardinal sIanning.s Compliment.

Cardinal Manning's manners with
women were always charming: and
mis- bow, when he took off the hat of
more than Quaker brim, was hom
age the most gracious ever made,
1t was not often that he permitted
himself a mere compliment; when
he did so it was only because a neat
phrase carried him away. You
have given me a book which has
kept me awake. and bring you a
book to send you to sleep" The
book which had kept him awake
was a volume of poems of a tone he
hardly caught The book to send
the poet to sleep was a collection of
his own sermons.-Contemporary

The politeness Of the japanese has long
been proverbial. Whoever comes in con-
act with them anywhere speaks Of their
gentle manners, and in their owl, coun-
ny this trait is much more marked than
when one meets them as isolated indiyid-
uals away from home. An American
traveller in Japan tells q story bearing
upon this point
This American was from Chic: he was
captain OF gunboat. and though brave
and efficient officer, he was somewhat
boted for his sense Of his own import
fnce.
He had put in at Japanese port, and
with his officers had been most politely
received by the japanese authorities. Az
the Americans proceeded with their es-
cort through the town the yonng cap
tain was very much pleased to see that
every one whom they met bowed pro
foundly; but what was the soft, three
syllabled word that they uttered with
this graceful salutes
The captain did not understand tbs
Japanese language or Japanese urE,anity
He did not know that it was the custom
Of the people whenever they passed q
stranger to salute him with an inclina-
ton of the head. Nor did he know that
the Japanese How do you dor or How
are your is contained in one word,
"Ohaye," the pronunciation being, as
nearly as possible, O-y-yo.
Presently one of these polite japanese
townspeople happened TO speak louder
than the others, and our captain re-
ceived. as he thought. sudden illumi-

turned to one of his officers and whis-
pered: How in the world did they hap
