Three Negroes Mobbed in Alabama for
Plot to Murder.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 16.--At Chill
dersburg early this morning three ne
groes, named Berry Rowden, Jim Row
den and Will Canto, were hanged and
shot On the bridge OF the Georgia Cen
tral road, over the Coosa river. The
iiynching was a sequel to an affair at
the home of ID. G.. Bryant, Saturday
night. Bryant was absent from home
when some unknown person entered his
residence, made his way to the bedroom
where Mrs. Bryant was asleep with two
children, and pounded her over the
head with stick Of wood. When she
screamed he attempted to choke her,
but finally became frightened and left.
Inquiry developed the fact that col
ored cook of the family had arranged a
plot with her two brothers and Canter
to get Bryant's money, when she and
Canter were to get married. The three
negroes were arrested yesterday and put
in the Childersburg Jail. Last night a

HER LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL.

On the third occasion / was driving over
"A highway in the state of Illinois. A long,
lank girl, with pink sunbonnet n bare
feet, and carrying a piece of sassafras root
in her ~queenly left hand, suddenly jumped
the rail fence from a corn field and stood
before me in an agitated state. l had
only to glance into her beautiful orbs to
read the truth-she loved mel How long
she had been at it l can say, for girls are
very deceptive about these matters, but
probably "A long time-ever since the old
horse raised the dust two miles away. l
knew what was coming, and M cheeks
were suffused with bushes and my heart
beat tumultuously. / don't think she
read my answer in my eyes, for l was wear
ing blue goggles, but in pity 1 tried to stop
her. Ii was no use, however. She put one
foot on the hub of a fore wheel, gave me
half of the sassafras root and said:
Stranger, Pm old Bill Johnson's daugh-
ter Sal, twenty years old, sound as a brick,
and l can hoe more corn, cut more grass
and plant n bigger later patch In one day
than any man in the county. What do you
say to hitchin up with me2n
tried to appear coy, and pretended not
to understand her, and she brought her
hand down ''spatp' on the old horse, killed
n big h~orsefly and continued:
Its leap year, and Pm goin to git a
husband or bust Here she is, stranger,
right from the shoulder-will you have
mef"
Although fully expecting the proposal,
! had to place both hands over my heart to
prevent the belt slipping off. In a broken
voice, with frequent pauses for breath, i
told her that it could never, never be. That
steeple no longer wobbled, having been
braced anew, and the future held out nc
bright hope. 1t grieyed me to reject her
love, but / had to do it. She must nave
realized how much in earnest / was, and
how painful it was to go bach on a girl
six feet long, and for a time she vas pen
sive and thoughtful. 1t was her first offer,
and to be rejected was like the stat
Of n knife. By and by, however, she raj
lied from the blow, She bit off about
three inches OF the root for a new guild,
kicked a horsefiy off the hind leg of old
Dobbin, and forgivingly said:
Wall, old man, Pm going to let you off,
OWN to circumstances, but that tin ped
dler comm up the road is my mutton OF
you'll rear OF a tragedy"
That evening the tin peddler drove into
the village where l was stopping, and i
made some inquiries. He was a doomed
man. He had promised to be hers, and her
old dad was guarding the road out of town
with a gun to see hat he didn't escape.

one of the worst newspaper reporters in
the known world. There isn't anything
about the newspaper business that M.

some things that he couldn't do. One of
them was to go out and get facts. But on
the other hand there was one thing that
he could do. He could be funny. He

pathetic. Here is a man who for years has

Aery one suffers
from Catarrh in the Head. Those
who don't have it suffer from those
who do. It's q disease you can't
keep to yourself.
Here are some of the symptoms /:
Headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and aorid,
at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
p%urulent, bloody, putrid, and often
sive eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness offensive breath smell
and taste impaired, and general de-
bility. But only a few of these
likely to be present at once.
The cure for it-for Catarrh it
self, and all the troubles that come
from it, perfect and permanent
cure, is DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
The worst cases yield to its mild,

properties. A record of 25 years

and they're willing to prove it
