The Peoples Preference.

"The people of this vicinity insist
on having Chamberlain Cough
Remedy and do not want any other"
says John V. Bishop, of Portland
Mills, Indiana. The reason is because
they have found it superior to any
other, especially for the grip and the
cough which so often follows an at
tack of the grip. 25 and 30 cent

: For sportsmen New Zealand seems to
possess decided advantages. 1t offers,
we ara told, some of the best trout fish
ing in the world. Moreover, deer are in.
creasing SO fast in some of the open
mountainous country that we shall soon
add deer stalking. Wild pigs abound,
but they frequent such rough ground
that they must be hunted ON foot, which
seems to dampen the arior Of most Eng
lish sportsmen. Quail shooting is good
and plentiful, aud duck and pheasant
shooting is good in certain parts. There
are many districts with their pac g of
barriers, and in some of the better settled
districts hunting is INDUCED in with
much zest. HorseAesh and horsekeep
being cheap, whatever sport there is can
be enjoyed at much less cost than simi
lar recreat'ons in the cid country.

A Mayor Arrested for Fast Driving

AsHEvILLE, N. ca warrant was
sworn out Friday for the arrest of Mayor
G D. Blanton, for violating the ordi-
nance against fast driving. The mayor
has fine horse, and wishing to try his
speed, it is said, ordered the policemen
to clear South Main street This was
done and the mayor then put his driver
in the buggy and had him drive through
the street. The gait at which the horse
was driven was so plainly in violation of
the law that Thos. A. Jones, lawyer,
swore out warrant for Mayor Blanton's
arrest The sffair has caused sensation,
as such thing has probably never before
been known here

The Tiger Crowded.
from the Courier r-Journal.l

From the Courier-J Journal.
In connection with the Chicago Con-
vention good story is told on Mr. Charles
P. Weaver, President of the Bandanna
Club. Its truth is not only vouchei for
by several veracious Louisville gentle
men, but is also admitted by the VIC
tim himself.
Placed upon the counter OF the Audi
torium Ho ell bar was savage looking
tiger which the Tammany contingent had
borrowed from we'll known Louisville
liquor dealer who was in Chicago at the
time. Into this seductive retreat strolled
Mr.. Weaver with fair following. The
sight of that tiger acted upon him as the
Haunting of red fing before ferocious
bull Taking off his Cleveland badge,
Mr.. Weaver buddy aud audaciously shook
it under the nose of the brute, saying 4
ooh, yes, you old sport; you old rascal,
this is the thing with which we will pull
some of tho;e fine teeth in November"
Just at this critical moment the harten-
der reached behind him. osteusibly for a
glass, and i'm so doing pulled etring con-
nected with the Tammany EN- lem.
Realistic as life the jaws of the beast
opened wide aud the eyes seemed to glare
more fiend SHY. "Woufi W.o.u,filr- r-r.
r-uh!!p were the sounds emanated in
that sepu'chral, awe-inspiring cough
characteristic of the "maneater." Mr..
Weaver leaped high aud far enough to
make the building quake when he came
down with all his ponderous weihht.
The fran ic yells greeting the performance
seemed to him, in his dazed condition,
to be the warning cry of rescuing party.
1t cost him 81. 80 to take the first Tam
many degree.
When at dinner some hours later he
was asked if he had been really frightened,
and he candidly replied: 81 pledge you
my word, 1 was he ,rly scared to death.
1t was so threatening and unexpected
that II fol an instant took my wits away"

everything within reach. The banners
designating the locations of the various
delegations were lifted high in the air, a
portrait of George Washington being at
tached tn the one of Virginia, and several
OF the banners were carried to the plat
form and uplifted over the chairmsn's
head. Meanwhile every one of the 10, 900
souls III the great coliseum shouted and
roared and cheered, and hundreds ofo ther-
wise cool-headed delegates, seized with
frenzy, stripped themselves of coats, and
In some cases their vests, so that their
limbs would be more free. AS if by magic
hundreds of stars and stripes made their
appearance all over the hall, while one of
immense size was borne up to the plat
form and waved in triumph above ali. A
towering Georgian actually climbed on top
OF the table. The band struck up the "Star
Spangled Banner" but the din was so over
powering that even the big bass drum
would not penetrate it.
When the demonstration had been 90
ing on for fifteen minutes the chairmen
of the various State delegations took pos
session OF the State banners and headed
by fife and drum band proceeded to
march around the hall, making the com.
plete circuit a half dozen times over. On
the second round an American flag was
attached to every banner, and the howls
ana cheers took fresh start, the women
TINS time bearing their share. Numerous
notices were resurrected from the ante
room and sandwiched in between the
banners. One read, "What is home with
out MORTGAGE" Another ''The people
will be damned no longer" White haired,
1eeble men tottered around with flag on
each shoulder; fathers lifted their little
ones, pickapack, and put flag in their
hands. "A mother wrapped her babe of
four months in silk flag, and followed
In line. Somebody found tin pail and
it was hoisted upon the Texas banner, a
reminder of the Gresham tinpail cam
palgn in Chicago in 1888. One of the
Mississippi delegates hoisted a brawny
darkey on his shoulders, and carried him
up TO the speakcr's otand, while tho ooh
ored man and brother waved the stars and
stripes in one hand and picture of Gresh
am in the other.
The band, ,marshalling its forces in front
of the platform, started the familiar strain
of Yankee Doodle" alternating to
Dixie" and the throng giving its throat
vent kept time with its thousands of hands
and feet. 1t was demonstra ION that
entirely eclipsed the memorable Blaine
furor at Minneapolis in point of nthusi-
asm, noise and striking situations as we'll
as in point of the number of those partici-
pating.
The convention then adjourned to 8
o'clock p. m.
AT the evening convention, ON the first
ballot, Weaver was nominated for Presi-
dent.

DAVE SHAW'S STORY.
n "Murdarad,, Man Tells How II
Came About.

GREENvILE, S. C.-The fate of Dave
ped quietly into the city, with two friends,
ncy, and not half dozen persons, includ-
ing those who accompanied him, knew of
his presence.
Shaw told the story OF the cventful
night of May 9th. He was seized by a
mob of fifty men, many Of them of prom
iucnce and influence, and was taken into
the woods and a rope put around his neck
to frighten him into confession. He
was drawn up to limb u number of
times, and lost consciousness. When he
regaiped consciousness he was pulled up
a number of times by the thumbs, AID
later was tied to a tree and numerically
beaten with leather trace. Still he
made no confession, and the mob started
to lake on Reedy river, telling him
they would drown him. They lit Ian
tern and gave it to him to carry with him
through the woods.
The mob had dwindled considerably,
and when deep gully was reached Shaw
threw the lantern into it and ran. He
was familiar with the surroundings, and
escaped, not one of shower of bullets
hitting him.
He stayed in a swamp two days, and
then went to Bolton and to Toccoa, Ga,
where he remained until last week, when
he returned. He has since been staying
with relative, twenty-fo four miles bel ow
here, in this county. He dHcs not want
even to 60 to Laureus Jail, as he fears he
will be killed. 1t is not known what his
friends will advise him to do.

The Southern States should encourage

of white people can be drawn TO the

be enriched by immigration, and immi-

Matters are beginning to look littls
squally about the frontiers OF Russia,
Persia and Afghanistan 1t has been
reported already that Amir has been ex-
hibiting signs Of disposition to attack
some of his weaker neighbors, including
the Afridis ana some of the petty Khars
of Bazhauer, who are more or less under
British jurisdiction. Russia is evidently
on the lookout for disturbances in that
quarter and means to bo ready to snap
up any unconsidered trihe that may fall
in her way. 1t is ANNOUNCED that a
special commission from the Ministries
of War, Finance, aud Internal Affairs
has been appointed in St. Petersburg to
consider precautions to be taken against
the introduction of cholera into Trans
caspia from Afghanistan. The COM
mittee has resolved that the Gordon
round the frontiers of Afghanistan and
j Persia must be strengthened, and that
medical and sanitary supervision must be
established OH the borders. It has even
discussed the propriety of sending bac-
teriologist to Herat, and it is tolerably
safe to predict that if such an officer is
ever appointed, he will have many other
things to attend to besides microbes.
