death was sudden and the family received q
severe shock from it.
The deceased was among the best known
and most respected citizens of the town and
he enjoyed the esteem of all in both public
and private life. He was very tall and
portly man of a strkingly fine appearance.
While his robust frame, long grey beard and
Stern countenance gave one not acquainted
with him the impression that he was of a
gruh disposition, an introduction always
found him gentle and exceedingly pleasant
and entertaining.

nesday, and the grand
total figures are now bordering on the 800, 600
mark. Great is the tale told by the coupons,
and greater still will it be before D. m.
tomorrow.
And yet with all the rush and crush, and
the pouring in of ballots, there is no change
of positions among the leaders of the contest.
OF the votes polled yesterday Miss Baird
received over $4,000, Miss Stein over 10000
and Miss Wasley over 10000 The poll made
by the first named lady puts her total score
close to 100000. By tomorrow night it will,
no doubt be far beyond that figure.
Excitement over the contest still runs high
and people are inpatient every night for the
appearance of the paper in order that they
may see the result of the contest. Hundreds
of inquiries are made at the HERALD Office
during the day for information concerning
the returns of the night previous, but as such
information is sought to control betting on
the daily results and as the management in
no way favors this kind of speculation the
efforts to secure points" are fruitless. The
slip showing the result of the previous days
| count is kept under lock and key until it is
required at the last minute for the forms of
the HERALD and all seekers for information
are turned away with polite but determined
negative Many have left displeased over
this cause because, they say, they can see no
harm in letting the results be known after
the counts are made, but we feel confident
that all intelligent people will agree after
mature consideration that our plan of secrecy
is a wise and proper one. We recognize that
we would be obliged to cope with similar
troubles if we issued two or three editions of
the paper day. We cannot encourage the
betting which has been attached to the con.
test by the eager outsiders.
Another thing the three teachers who have
made this contest so vigorous are particular
friends of the editor of this paper and he
does not propose sacrificing the friendship of
any of them to favor the other. The contest
has been conducted as fair and honestly az
the management could possibly do it from
the start up TO the present day, and that
course will not be abandoned at the eleventh
hour.

the value to health of the pure liquid

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
A Demand for an Investigation of
the Killing of Settlers.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Very few mem
bers were present when the House came
to order this morning A roll call would
not have been responded to by more than
half a hundred representatives. Many
leaves Of absence were granted, among
them one which provoked some merri-
ment. AS read by the clerk it was terse,
merely saying, "Mr Tarsney requests
leave of absence for one week. Worlds
fair"
The House proceeded to the cOnsidera-
ton of the report of the committee on
acts granting the committee on naval al
fairs an additional clerk. Only 1868 votes
were recorded, no quorum, and on motion
of MIR. Cummings of New York, call of
the House was ordered. A quorum was
thus obtained and the report was agreed
to.
Mr.. Hudson, pop, of Kansas. asked
consent for the immediate consideration
of resolution for the appointment of a
committee of five members to investigate
the recent killing of settlers on the Cher
Okee strip by the United States troops
and appropriating $4,000 for the purpose
of the investigation.
Mr.. Dockery objected, and the resolu-
ton was referred.

offered an amendment providing that the
public printer shall pay no greater price
than 30 cents per hour for time work, to

limit is fixed at 40 cents per hour)
The amendment was lost, as was also an
other, fixing the limit at 45 cents.
Mr.. Morse took advantage of the lati-
tude allowed in the committee of the

remarks on the present method of con-
Quoting the pension bureau

A HOWL FROM A CELL.
H. Clay King Charges Conspiracy to
Convict Him.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 25.-Col. H.
Clay King the murderer of David II. Pos
ton, now serving a life sentence in the
Tennessee penitentiary as punishment for
his crime, has issued an address to the
public. in which he makes some sensa-
tional charges. He alleges that his con
viction was brought about by a 'conspi-
racy between Judge Julius j. DuBose of
the Shelby county criminal court and rel
atives of Poston. Judge DuBose, he as
serts, used every means in
his power to secure conviction
in order to placate the Postons,
whoy were his political enemies. King
also charges that Mrs. Gideon J. Pillow
and David II. Poston, the murdered man,
were criminally intimate. The publica-
ton of the article has caused a sensation.
King wrote it for the purpose of arousing
public sentiment in his favor in the hope
of securing a pardon, but he will fail in
his object as Gov. Turney was a member
of the supreme court when Kings death
sentence was affirmed.
