DIR. Graves, Denial.

DENVER, Jan. 5.-Dr. Graves Monday
denied absolutely that he had confessed
sending the poison to Mrs. Barnaby or
made any damaging admission implica-
ting himself or Colonel Ballou, the
Providence lawyer The fact remains.
however, Colonel Ballou has fled: no one
knows whittier, though his friends assert
that he has gone to Providence, where
his presence is urgently needed in a
business way. Deputy Sheriff Wilson
still maintains that Graves confessed.
but Deputy Means refuses to talk about
what Grave. is reported to have said
The grand jury is said to be investigating
this new turn of affairs.
When the grand jury adjourned at a
late hour this evening it was learned
that nothing had been done by them in
regard to indicting Ballou. Graves
caused surprise Monday when he said
Ballou came to him Saturday night last
and told him he was going to leave town
because he was afraid of being arrested
if he stayed in Denver longer. When
the doctor gave this information he sud
denly became reticent and nothing
further could be learned from him.

A Rand of Them Sack Dinwood--sevorai
OF Them Captured.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, Jan. 5.-Dinwood,
small railroad station twelve miles
from here, has been terrorized the past
two weeks by band of negroes Under
the leadership of Milton Puryear, a
white man, they have been burning
houses and committing other lawless
and desperate deeds The town was
again thrown into great excitement Sat
urday night, when they assembled in
town and burned large ginhouse of Dr.
j. e. Bryan and leveled the railroad de-
pot to the ground with fire.
The object in burning the depot was
that its location did not suit the outlaws
A few weeks since thirty bales of cotton
mysteriously disappeared from the ware
house in Dinwood. These negroes were
seen to have large rolls of money. Be
fore the ginhouse and depot were burned
there was a general firing of weapons
and windows and doors were riddled,
the object being to keep people in their
houses. A number of horses and cattle
We're killed.
Hon King White, mayor of Pine
Bluff, organized posse and started for
the scene of mob violence Sunday after
noon and succeeded in capturing Pury-
ear, the leader, and six negroes. They,
together with one j. O'Connor, who was
drunk and is supposed to know some
thing of the whereabouts of the remain
ing outlaws, were lodged in Jail here
Sunday night. Another posse has left
here in pursuit of the ring leaders, num-
bering some eighty, who have not yet
been captured.

A reporter of the Dallas News in.
terviewed Harry Tracy and reported
him as saying, among other things,
"That alliance men will try to get the
Democratic party to adopt their de
mands, and in the event that party
refuses to do so, the alliance men will
go on as in the days of yore, voting
the Democratic ticket" Mr.. Tracy
denies saying anything of the kind.
If Mr.. Tracy will always stay that
close to the truth, he may prevail.

The contest in Ohio for the senator
ship is heating up. The Il ght between
Sherman and Foraker has developed
into a fight between the Harrison and
Blaine elements, it being considered
test of the relative popularity OF the
president and his secretary Of state as
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation for president. The organiza-
ton Of the Legislature showed first
blood for Sherman, as Sherman man
was elected speaker Of the house. But
the Blaineites demand the election of
Foraker and desperate conflict is in
progress. Governor Mckinley is a
Sherman man and is soundly abused
for using his influence in favor OF the
great Gold Bug. 1t is probable that
the Ohio senatorial contest will en-
gender enough bitterness among the
Republicans to give the Democrat a
fighting chance to carry that state
this year.

A very good way to Judge a states,

A very good way to judge a states
man and patriot is by the enemies
he has made. Hon. R. Q. Mills, in
his fight for the speekership, had eve
~ job representative in Washington
and out Of it against him. There was
the Worlds Fair crowd, the service
pension crowd, the District of Colum-
bia crowd, in fact, every crowd
that expected to work tie present
congress for few millions
of the peoples money, were against
Mills. Added 20 these, were the place
hunters, the professional spoilsmen
who see nothing to admire in a man
that fights the battles of the people.
The politicians slew Mills.

MISCELLANEOUS.

There's good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too.
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means noth-
ing. Words-mLy q0orRs.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. OF course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence, Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"
DR.. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money
back if the result isn't ap-
parent.
Doesn't it strike you that
a medicine which the makers
have so much confidence in,
is the medicine for you?
