His own way-The Police POwerIess.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-The mounted
highwayman who created trouble at the
north end of the city last week has
transferred himself to Clyde, Berwyn
and Riverside suburbs in the southwest
ern part of Chicago.
Monday the police met him and he
robbed the police.
Tuesday morning he met a ten-year-
old boy and made him give up fifty
cents.
Then he came in conta ct with another
boy who did not have cent, and he al
lowed this youngster to go after turning
his pockets inside out.
Next J. NJ. Myers, of the town of
Lyons, paid s. for the privilege OF
living.
Frederick Sellers and Frederick Crow
of Riverside, drove up behind q horse
man whom they had never seen before,
and it cost them $3.50. The robber
wheeled his horse across the road in
front of them, and compelled them to
give up what they had by threatening
them with revolver.
John Keefe, policeman, and William
Ryan were the next to meet trouble.
Ryan lost 81. 60, but he would have lost
more if he had it. Keefe had no money,
but he lost his revolver and his reputa-
ton, which were all he carried with him
at the time.
Monday night two masked men en-
tered Mrs. Catharine Qualey's saloon at
S444 Auburn street, and at the point of
revolvers compelled the bartender to
hand over the contents of the till, and
then robbed the inmates.
M. G. Feely's saloon was next visited
and the same tactics employed. The
men have been robbing right and left
and manage to evade arrest.

HAD the technical knowledge OF
the voters OF Ohio been as good as
their intentions, Cleveland and
Stevenson would have received all
the electoral votes OF that State
Tue Australian ballot system which
obtains in Ohio requires that cross
mark be placed opposite the name OF
each electOr on the ticket; but ii
seems that many Democrats marked
thus only the first electOl, thinking
that would suffice to indicate their
preference for the whole list. The
consequence is that Steward, the
Democratic elector first in the list is
elected, but the remaining twenty
two are for Harrison and Reid.

paper, the advertiser and the town.
But many of the merchants thought
differently; they were entitled to
their opinions and we have no fault
to find with them. They thought
the trade was not here, the money
was too scarce, and that business
could not be forced these times.
That if times were better it would be
different.
In tits connection, to avoid any
possible misunderstanding, we wish
to remind our readers that the dis
continuance of the daily will not in
terfere in the least with our weekly
edition. The old Fridays weekly
will go ON Just as before, and as IL
has been doing forty years.
The only difference will be this.
That the daily enabled us to issue
Tuesdays extra to our weekly edl-
ton, for which we made no extra
charge. This and the extra facil1-
ties the daily has given us for news,
has increased our weekly list, 80
that the daily will leave the weekly
with over two thousand names on
its list, which is a longer list than it
has ever had before and d longer one
than any paper in this Congressional
District can truthfuuy claim.
This statement is of interest to our
advertising friends, and its truthful
ness we are prepared to sustain by
our books.
To-morrow's issue will be the last
Of the Columbia Daily Herald.
Parties who have paid for the daily
in advance will be credited on the
weekly the unearned amount, and in
instances where this is not satisfae-
tory the money will be refunded
them.
The material and ParaphernaliR
necessary to run daily will be ten
derby and carefully put aside, and
whenever Columbia and its mer-
chants think the hour propitious, we
will breathe new life into it again.

Arrested in Chattanooga With a Box Full
of Diamonds.
NASHVILLE, Nov. 30.-[Special.l !
The diamond thieves who robbed
Finley's jewelry store In this city
last week were traced to Chatta-
nooga, and a woman with the dia-
monds was a. rested there yesterday.
She is very handsome woman and
had made a gorgeous display of the
diamonds, wearing part of them and
depOsiting the remainder in bank.
When arrested she confessed that
she was the wife of Frank Fairfield,
a crook who had been before the Re-
corder on another charge. The Of
ficers compelled her to deliver to
them the box of diamonds which she
had in bank. 1t contained about
$1,000 worth of jewelry. Different
articles of this jewelry were identi-
fed as belonging TO Nash vile and
Birmingham people. Chief Clack is
in Chattanooga now working up the
case against the woman and her con-
federates.

THE proposition to hold an extra
session of congress is growing. in ia
vOr, and il n majority of the Congress-
men elect could decide the matter
there would be an early call for such
a session otter the adjournment OF
the present term.
A conference of Democrats is to be
held in New York City this week for
the purpose of discussing this and
other subjects of moment to the party
This conference will probably arrive
at some conclusion regarding the
Speakership of the next House.
There has been disposition to al
low Crisp to succeed himself with
out any opposition, but he will have
vigorous opposition unless he
changes the Chairman OF the Ways
and Means Committee.
The party is greatly dissatified with
Springer. Benton McBillin is the
man for the place and he win get it,
or his friends will beat Crisp for
Speaker. He could probably beat
Crisp for the position of Speaker, but
prefers the Craftsmanship of the
WAYS and Means Committee.

The Eight Charges Against DIR. Charles
A. Briggs.
New YORK, Nov. 80.-ProfessoT
Charles A. Briggs, of Union Theological
seminary, was put on trial Monday for
heresy. The prosecuting committee con-
sisted of Dr. G. w. +. Burch, Colonel
J. ]. McCook. DIR. r. F. Sample, DR.. j.
J. Damper and Professor ], ], Steven
son.
The charges, eight in number, accuse
Professor Briggs of teaching that the
reason is a fountain of divine authority,
which may savingly enhghten men,
even those who reject the Scrip
lures as the authoritative pro-
clamatiOn of the will of God
and those who reject the mediation of
Christi that a fountain of divine au-
thority, apart from Scripture, does saw
ingly enlighten men; that errors have
existed in the original text of. the Holy
Scriptures as it came from the authors;
that many of the Old Testament predic-
lions have been reversed by history, and
that the great body of Messianic predic-
ton has not and can not be fulfilled;
that Moses is not the author of the Pen
tateuch: that Isaiah is not the author of
half of the book that bears his name;
that the processes of redemption extend
to the world to come in the case of many
who die IN their sin; that sanctifcation
is not complete at death.

THE HERALD is glad to report that
the Maury County Farmers and
Breeders Association has arranged
to pay its indeb. edness in full and to
continue its meetings as heretofore.
Their new organization is as strong
"a could be made. For the office
there is not better qualified man in
the State than Mr.. B. S. Thomas.
He is progressive, but conservative A;
lie is experienced and intelligent; ne
knows the horsemen and knows how
to deal with them, and they all like
him.
Mr.. Mora Fariss is a thoroughly
capable Secretary. He is prompt in
the execution of his work and it is &C
curate. He is polite and accomodat-
ing, but always strictly business.
w. S. Williams is a born Clerk OF
the Course. He knows it's duties
like the alphabet, and loves it like an
old racer does the tap of The drum.
In all it is a strong combination
and we hope the country will give
them better support than was given
the former organization.

THE subscription list to our daily

all parties who have been having
their papers delivered them at their

satisfactory to them all, and that
they will still continue to take the
HERALD. We will furnish you
through the columns of the weekly
HERALD, all the news CT the town
and county. 1t will not be as fresh
and crisp and new as when the daily

ways to take the best home paper
you can get. Besides, we hope you
will remember that we have served
you nearly eight months, in an hon
est effort to help build up your town,
and that you will reward our past
enterprise with your future patron
age. Your paper hereafter will be
delivered regularly every Friday

THE DAILY HERALD.
From Tuesdays Daily.)


The HERALD Company has de-
eided after tomorrow to discontinue
it's daily edition.
The paper has proven a losing ven
ture, and the Company has grown
tired of the experiment.
The paper was started to build up
Columbia. That was its mission, its
hope aud its ambition. That it
would make money, its projectors
knew was not among the probabili-
ties.
That it failed in its purpose, we re-
gret, as those " no love their town
will. That ITS bright face and newsy
coming will be missed, we all know
and we will all feel. That it did its
part nobly aud well while here, the
testimony of its readers Is abundant
ly to it's credit.
Its early demise is perhaps more
directly traceable to the times than
so anything else. We have argued
and we believe that proper amount
OK advertising in the daily would
have given Columbia new hope and
new life and shat 1t would have ad.

Father-in-LaW.

Stated on Good Authority That the DOcu.
ment Win BE Complete Review of the
Work of the Present Administration
and Will Be About Fifteen Thousand
Words in Length.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Blowing to the
death of Mr.. Scott, President Harri-
sons aged father-in-law, the president
will be unable to complete his annual
message to congress in time for submis-
sion to that body on the opening day of
the session. The present indications are
that he will be precluded from making
any progress whatever during the re-
maing days of the present week. Con-
sequently it is more than probable that
the completion of the message will be
delayed until the end of next week OF
the beginning of the following week.
The president will probably send brief
message to congress Monday next ex-
planning why the regular message is de-
layed. 1t is learned on good authority
that the annual message will be about
the same length as that of last year and
will include a complete review of the
work of the present administration. II
will contain about Is, 600 words.

1t Is Quickly Avenged by a Mob fin



ArCHIsoN. Kan, Nov 30.-The tow
Of Hiawatha was the scene of sensa-
tional lynching at IL o'clock Monday
night. Last Thursday night the people
of the African Methodist church gave
a Tn anksgiving supper, at which Com
modore True, colored tough of the
place, raised a disturbance. Will
Walthall, one of the deacons of the
church, led him outside and nothing
more was thought of the affair until
suddenly True rushed into the room
with knife in his hand and stabbed
Walthan to death. True was arrested
and lodged in the county Jail There
was great indignation about the murder
and Monday night mob broke into the
Jail and carried True to a tree in the
Jail yard a nd strung him up by the neck
While the man hung there writhing il
the comics of death, forty bullets wert
fired into his body by the enraged mob
