Ed. Register-We are sorry to say
that the state Of trade with the Syeuite
Granite Company in relation to the
cutting feature is again at a stand still.
AS to how long matters will remain in
this category, can not be surmised
Never in the history of the Company,
has their business been. so unsettled as
has been the case during the past Is
months. The Schneider company
though, are working a force of some
sixty or seventy men. Also Bruce d
Sheehan are working a larger force thar
they have for some time. This last
named firm are going to enlarge their
works in the spring. We have been
informed by the firm that they intend
putting up a large polishing mill and
rock crusher in connection with their
works in the city. They will then be
in the .push" or s.pull". Which ever
way that is, will, of course, be deter.
mined as time rolls around.
Miss Minnie Trauernicht will leave
this week for an extended visit to rel
atives in St. Louis, and also expects to
take in the great Exposition.
Mrs. John Brown will, also, do like
wise.
Michael Foley, Jr. was down one day
last week from the city. to see old time
friends.
VIM. McLaren will return to his
home in Scotland in few days.
Now that the time for killing tur-
keys is legal, our sports are losing
no time, and large posses are out eve

In the primary department of our
district school. Miss Annie +. Oesterle.
had on last Friday an attendance OF
1O4, from the ages of seven up to
eleven years, while Prof. Keesline
had on the same day 54-or just 80
less. Where is the teacher or teachers
that can do anything like justice to so
large an attendance as thisP
Little Willie Foley is quite poorly
with speained leg, caused, it is
thought. from climbing small bush to
get some grapes. He stepped on a
limb of the bush that broke and gave
away, letting him fall.
nj. j. Crews has bought and is now
erecting a lotion Fairbank scale in front
of his store in Ghermanville. Jim says
the hard times have not as yet affected
his trade to any great extent.
We understand a meeting was held
among our down town merchants one
day last week. and passed resolutions
to the effect that all persons who had
been out OF employment three months
consecutively, would have the privil.
eye of registering their names in a
book especially prepared, regardless OF
race, color, or previous servitude, Civ
ing to all such as registered, goods,
groceries and all such as would be re-
quired to sustain life through the COM
ing winter, or until times got better.
To this we must say is highly com
mendable on the part of our d. t. ms.
and speaks volumes of noble and phil
anthropic acts.
That ever hustling and wide-awake
livery stable man, August Rieke, also
has signified his willingness to furnish
hacks aud buggies at wonderfully re-
duced rates; provided. however, his
horses and buggies are returned in
reasonable time and in fair condition.

Obituary.
MURPHY.

Martha Jane Harviell was born May
II, 1889, near Fayetteville, Sampson
county, North Carolina. During he1
youth, she moved from North Caroline
to Tennessee and thence to Missouri.
She was married to S. r. Harviel
(whom many in the Valley remember
as a most exemplary citizen) April 26
1868.
She has been a member of the Mis-
sionary Baptist Church for many years,
having united with that denomination
at Poplar Bluff.
AS she lived a consistent Christian
life, it was no surprise to her many
friends that she died at peace with her
God and all mankind.
The writer of this brief sketch feels
incompetent to express the personal
admiration she holds for this most es-
Unable, meek and devout Christian
woman, but after an acquaintance oil
twenty years, l am able to pronounce
her one one of the most faultless of
women. Many trials and Affections un-
with great patience.
Being an invalid for several years,
she bore her sufferings with Christian
fortitude, and in all her Affections and
tribulations, she recognized the hand
of God, knowing whom the Lord loveth
He chasteneth.
She died September IA, 1898, at her
home in Arcadia, surrounded by her
two children, sister, brother, and anoth-
err who has been all that a daughter
could be in her years of suffering;
many living friends who were eager to
relieve, as much as possible, their much
beloved neighbor.
To the sorrowing ones, Heaven is
nearer now and will grow more and
more attractive as they think of their
loved one translated to higher and
nobler sphere of action.
May they go often to God, who is the
only true source of comfort. II. Cor,
1st chap, 4th verse. A FRIEND.

SWEEPER THEOLOGY.
A Curious Sect in India Which OBJ
serves Strange Customs.

Among the yet unsolved problems of
Indian ethnology, and one that the CEN
sus has only dealt with TO make confu-
sion worse confOunded, Is the religion Of
the sweeper caste. 1t seems clear
enough through all the confusion that
the supreme deity of the Chuhras is
Laljura or Lalbeg, "a good without form
or dwelling place. a mound of earth
surmOunted by piece of stick and a
bit of cloth for a flag is this deity's
shrine, and to IL poojah is made and a
little sacrifice offered of ghee or grain.
It needs no cOnsecratOn, this simple
shrine, and wherever the sweeper may
be, if sickness comes. or a gift is desired.
the little shrine may be set up with its
queer bit of rag and stick, and the wor-
shippers prayer is made. 1t is curious to
note how this primitive faith differs from
HindOOism, both ancient and modern, as
we'll as from Buddhism.
The sweeper will have nothing to do,
for instance, with the transmigratiOn of
souls. Once a sweeper, always a sweep
er, and even the ideal sweeper, Pr Jhota,
with his broom of gold and basket of sill
Yer, cleans now the fourth heaven, the
house of God. and sweeps the apartments
Of the Highest" The good sweeper goes
to heaven. however, after death, but in
the heaven of the sweeper there is moth
ing to do but bathe and sit at ease. The
bad sweeper, on the other hand, goes to
wounds until the Deity is pleased to
vouchsafe relief. Between these two ex-
tremes there is a kind of purgatory.
where the sweeper who is not good
enough for the one place and not bad
enough for the other undergoes a sort of
probation, which either kills or cures
him.
OF Balmik, the great leader of one sect
of sweepers, and now himself, like Pr
Jhota, sweeper in the courts of heaven,
the accounts differ so widely that it is
difficult to identify him. 1t seems clear,
however, that with the profession OF
sweeper he combined the recreation of
poetry, and there is some amount of evil
dence in favor of his having been the au-
thor of the "Ramayana." He is alter
nately represented as low caste hunter
of the Karnal Nardak, and as a Bhil
highwayman, who was converted by
saint whom he was about to rob. There
is a legend. too, that he lay down his life
for the sweepers of Benaires, and in
duced the people of that city TO admit
sweepers into their presence, as they
had never done before.
As for Lalbeg, the other great leader,
he takes us back at once into the days
OF Homer.c myth He was born from
the coat Of Balmik and suckled by
hare-in proof whereof Chuhras to this
day abstain from eating hares. On the
other hand, Lalbeg was also born from
a pitcher, through the power of Abdul
Kader Jilani, and when the Prophet
Elias was turned into a sweeper for
splitting on the saints in heaven it was
Lalbeg who relieved him.-Times of In

THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
John McNuIty Tells How 1t Feels To
BE Sentenced TO the GaIIOws.

People who feel a morbid interest in
the sensations experienced by persons
condemned to death will doubtless find
food for reflection in the following re-
marks by John McNulty, who recently
heard for the fifth time a San Francisco
judge order him to be hanged by the
neck until he is dead:
"A man gets used to waiting to be
hanged like everything else" he said
They have fixed the day for my death
four times, and something has happened
every time to save me. You think
talk f1ippantly about ii. but il isn't that
only / have become so accustomed 10
thinking over it that the horror is all
gone.
When first stod up in Judge Muir
phys court and heard him order me TO
be hanged, II was awful. I can re-
member his very words. What worried
me most even then was the attention of
the people. Everybody was looking at
me. of course, and nothing ever seemed
so cruel. When 1 first came to the JAIL
/ couldn't sleep or eat or anything, but
gradually j dropped into the Jail ways
and now the routine is as much part Of
my life as going to work used TO be.
"People have more than once asked
me if / wasn't afraid to be hung OF
course l don't want TO be hung, but
don't think il the worst comes to the
worst that I'd weaken. I've been close
TO IL. once IneN put up Ine gallOWS Tor
me. I could hear them knocking the
lumber together. and l knew what IL
meant. They had the death watch on
me, and I had given up all hope. Don't
you know that there was something of
contentment about it? The suspense
was over, 1 suppose, and it was some
thing Of a relief. The sheriff, though,
refused TO execute me while my case was
still before the courts. Then the state
supreme court decided against me, and
they set the day again.
"I thought that was the last OF Il,
but Carroll Cook had taken hold of my
case and he got il into the L. 8. courts
Governor Markham respited me that
time. and they removed the deathwatch
and put the scaffold away again. I sup
pose I will be put in the condemned cell
again with the deathwatch. That's the
worst Of it, You can realize how help
less man fells."
McNulty was a steamship fireman.
The man he killed was a longshoreman
named James Collins. He shot him I'm
the streets the day after they had a
quarrel. He claims the shooting was
done in self defense.

of the mad animals, in their frenzy,
