MEMPHIS. Tenn, Feb. 13.-The David
Bennett Hill boom has struck Memphis,
and apparently, has come to stay. For some
time past the leaders of the Democratic
party in West Tennessee have been drift
ing away from Cleveland. Senator Harris
opposition to him has made d marked i'm
preston, as he is regarded as having q
clearer head for politics than any other
public man in the state, aud his position has
been Endorsed by nearly every active party
worker. Their antagOnism to the eX-presi-
dent as the nominee of the party this year
had its origin in the mugwumpery with
which he was afflicted during his term of
office.
Later it was strengthened by the convic-
ton that he can under no circumstances
carry his own state, which is regarded as
pivotal in this years contest. On the other
hand, Governor Hill is regarded as Demo-
crat, first, last and all the time. and q
leader who has never been turned down in
any fight of his. The people down this way
like him for his straight-out partisanship
and they have i very human propensity for
supporting an admitted success. The Al
lance folks, too, are sweet on Hill on ac-
count of his advanced views on the silver
question.
The president OF the state Alliance and
the governor of the state, who was his pre-
decessor in that Office, are outspoken in IA
Vor of the man who has had the pluck to
throw down the gauntlet to Wall street
The outgrowth of this sentiment is a move
ment to form Hill clubs in this city and the
surrounding towns. The organizers in
clude the mayor of Memphis and other
prominent members of the city government
The Memphis club will be formed III q few
DAYS.

'Whether the Inter Ocean article is
founded on fact or not, I'm not inclined to
discredit it in advance of facts received.
It's quite possible some of the Alliance peo-
pie have been over-reached. 1t would be

from getting into the clutches of a gigantic

covered in time, and when the Alliance

opinion there are men in the Alliance

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Concerning the
effort of the silver advocates to hurry 4
free coinage bill through the house, the
what interesting but false and
is seen in the following extract:
''The immense hurry of the silver people to
get a free-coinage bill before the house,
when it is apparent that they can
get the bill through without any
such display of haste, has been hard
of explanation to great many members
who have been importuned to take
part in the movement One ex-
PLANTATION of it is found in the report
that the movement is being engineered by
members of the Texas delegation and their
friends for the embarrassment of Mr..
Mills. The Texas senatorship is supposed
to be involved in the matter. Mr.. Mills
has taken a position against free
coinage, which it is believed will
make him unpopular at home. Mr. Culber-
son is a free silver man, as are also the
other members of the Texas delegation, and
it is said that they are trying to get the
matter before the house as soon as possible
SO as TO force Mr.. Mills to declare
his position in the house. Mr..
Mills reputation for courage leads to the
Impression that if the question comes up he
will not attempt to dodge it and that he
will follow such a course IS may injure his
chances of election to the senate. 1t
is suspected that this is being engineered
in the interest of Mr. Culberson." As a
matter of fact there is no undue haste about
the bill. and the men who are for it know
that the opposition want nothing SO much
as delay.
This story is ridiculous and without
shadow of truth" said Col. Kilgore. I'VE
are for free silver as an independent propo-
sition and not 10 injure Mr.. Mills candidacy
or help that of some one else. We will get
the bill up in the course of few days, and
have but little doubt that it will pass"

Stolen in Twenty-Four Hours.
Special to the Gazette.


HAMBURG, La, Feb. 12.-The unaccount-
able disappearance of two newly-Dorn
babes in different parts of the town has
caused the widest excitement among all
classes, and the colored population is panic
stricken. The authorities for a week past
havebeen working to uuravel the mystery,
but as yet it is puzzle.
About ten days ago the wife Of William
Regan. laborer. gave birth to healthy
baby boy, who gave every indication OF
developing into formidable rival OF his
father in the pick and shovel trade.
The babe was dressed and laid in the
cradle near the window. The doctor had
gone and the nurse stepped into another
room When she returned she found the
window open and the cradle empty. Hor-
ror stricken, she made a nasty search OF
the house and premises, but could discover
no sign that would indicate the infants
fate. The baby had disappeared utterly
and the sorrow-laden mother still mourns
its loss.
Hardly had the excitement created by
this gruesome incident Gained when IL was
renewed and increased by the disappear
ance of another infant under almost similar
circumstances.
This time it was a colored infant. The
wife Of Hiram Young, wellto-do eolored
man, presented him with q son and heir.
discussed with his friends the propriety OF
giving razor party in his honor. But the
JOY in the house Of Young was speedily

HUMAN BONES
PILED MOUND HIGH FOUND IN
DAKOTA BY HUNTERS.
Indian Legends Say There was Big Fight
There Years Ago with Terrible
Slaughter.
Special to the Gazette.

SpeCldI 10 the GdLeLIe.
CooKsoS, NEE, Feb. IA queer find
has been made in Dakota, about seventy
five miles from this place, by party of
hunters who have boen in that section for
the past month. The country over which
they have travelled is little used except for
cattle ranges and the result is that there
are few people who pass over that vicinity.
The gentlemen who bring the news Of the
find say that they discovered an immense
mound which was composed entirely Of
human bones. The bones had evidently
been there for many years, probably hun
dredS OF them, for the Indians who 1--we in
that part of the country say that they know
nothing of where they come from except
that their tribes have legends that there
was big fight there a long time ago and a
great many people were killed.
The legend is that one tribe was COM
pietely annihilated by another and the
remnant of the victorious tribe was COM
PEELED TO join another tribe in order To keep
from being destroyed by the stronger
nations. The Indians do not know what
tribes INDUCED in the desperate fight but
from the number of bones 10 De found and
the size of the mound there could not have
been less than 10, O00people killed and buried
in the mound, which is fully fifty yards in
circumference. A popularity about the
place IS that while there is not a tree in
fifty miles Of the mound there is lot of
ashes and charred wood 10 be found all
through the dirt which composes the
mound. To make this fire either the wood
must have been carried fifty miles or else
the fire was built so long ago that the whole
country has changed. and where there was
formerly trees growing is now desolate
prairie.

Al but Fifteen.

The silver men have secured about one
hundred and twenty names to the petition
asking that the silver bill be made a
special order in the house. None but Dem
ocrats who will vote for free coinage belug
asked to sign, but fifteen to whom
the petition has been handed declined
10 sign on some reason or other. Some
said they thought it was giving undue
prominence to silver and making it para
mount to the tariff. Silver men say, not
withstanding statements to the contrary,
they are confident of securing considera-
ton for the bill. They are de-
termined TO put every man in the
house on record on the question. There is
a sentiment among many members of the
coinage men, in favor of an early report of
tariff bills from the ways and means COM
mittee and of keeping them before the
country so as to prevent giving undue
prominence to the silver question.
