J. W. MiTcHELL's DEATH,
Some People Reject the Natural ExpIana-
ton to Talk of Foul Play.

AUGUSTA, June 9.-Excitement has
run high here today since it became gen
orally known that J. w. Mitchell, the
well known temperance worker, was
missing and his clothes found on the
shore of the river. II
He has had many threatening letters
sent him during the past year. While
the feeling in general is that the man has
been drowned by accident, there are many
who think there has been foul play.
There are others who say that the
Temperance workers who brought Mr..
Mitchell have not contributed as liberal
~ as he expected, and in fit of temper
airy insanity he has fled the state.

opinion of those who came from the
building and who were acquainted with
the work done in the cellar, that the
front wall must have settled or sprung
sufficiently to have lossened the girders.
This caused the pulling apart of the
iron work in the centre of the building,
and the crash followed.
William r. Funk, contracto and build

by the faulty manner In which the work
of er-pinning was conducted.

INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.

They Might Make Good Ones Under Fa-
 vorable Conditions
 The experiment initiated by ex-Sec- retary Proctor of assisting in the civ ilization of the Indians by their enlist ment in the army has had two yearsa trial and has failed, says the Washing ton Star. In its inception it was hoped that the movement would receive the sanction and support of congress, but the hope has not been fulfilled. The policy has not been abandoned by the department, notwithstanding the ab- sence of congressional encouragement, but is slowly dying of hamilton, owing to the fact that the Indians who took advantage of the opportunity of enter ing the army are leaving it at the ex- piration of their terms of enlistment, and there are no new en1istments. Many of the Indians took advantage of the law permitting them to purchase their discharge.
 There were abont seven hundred In- dfans in the army, and this number has been reduced by the disbandment of two Indian troops, one at FoYt Walla Walla and the other at Fort Reno, which had dwindled to less than twenty men each. There are about fourteen Indian companies, averaging fifty men each, still in the service, and they may be so reduced by natural causes as to require further eonsolida- tion.
 An officer of high rank says these companies will certainly not be mus. fsred out, and that the department will do nothing to discourage further enlistment. It was settled, however, that the experiment as at present con- ducted is failure and that the only possible solution of the Indian soldier problem is their organization into an auxiliary branch of the army, modelled after the system employed by the Brit ish army in the matter of the native troops of India. It is clear, he said, that the Indian soldier, so far as nili- tary discipline is concerned, will have to be placed on different plane from the white soldier.

The Dogs VIII Be Kilred

Quite number of citizens are com plaining of the midnight, as well as the daylight carousals of so many canines on our streets. From statis- tics furnished, we estimate that there are about 3,764 dogs within the city limits, and we will allow that of this number there are about sixteen that might be considered valuable, the re- mainder 3,74S are worthless and a nuisance, and are making the time for rest of honest men miserable and unbearable by midnight howls and barks. Thanks be to the police; we understand that they are going to turn loose on them with shot and shell, commencing promptly this evening at o'clock and all dogs that are found proving around thestreets either in daylight or dark, without a master, will be shot. Now, if you have a valuable dog, keep him st home and don't let him trouble your neighbor, orelseyou won 't very much longer remain the proud posseSsor of such valuable @ animal.

PARSONS WINS.
Defeats Two Men in Four Rounds.

Last night at J. K. Humble's arena Ike Parsons, the Louisiana light weight who is training here for a fight with Billy Poole, to take place in Little Rock the 18th, met James Steck, a local boxer. The match was to be six rounds After two preliminary bouts that was very interesting, the principals ap- peared in5 the ring, both looking in prime condition. Steck having the advantage in height and reach, Par sons being the most muscular. Six ounce gloves were used. After some delay! Mir John Poartie consented to act as referee. Time was called and the men began.
 First round:
 Parsons assumed the aggressive, forcing Steck all over the ring with straight iabs and swinging upper cuts, Steck going down several times to save himself. During a hot rally near the close of the round Steck knocked Parsons down with a straight left.
 Second round.
 Steck came up groggy. Parsons continued to force him all over the ring landing some vicious right and left swings, while Steek contented himself with clinching, and falling to gain time Towards the latter part of the round, Steck seeing he was gone, left the ring giving the contest to Parsons.
 After the excitement had somewhat subsided, a young man by the name of Barton stated that he did not think Parsons could best him in the same time he had Steck. The agree ment was quickly made and the sec ond mill commenced. Barton made a game fight for a round and a half, being cheered frequently for his display of pluck and hard fighting, but was forced to sueeumb to the superior science and hard hitting qualities of his opponent.
 The contest was witnessed by a small but enthusiastic audience, and was conducted in an orderly manner being utterly devoid of brutality.

TIE FoaEauasEa OF DISASTER.
\ Peculiar Growth Known ss the ..Deyi

 Peculiar Growth known as the ..Deyil
 Hasnt" in Missfsskppi.
 There has recently appeared in this vicinity, says 8 Carthage Miss cor respondent of the Philadelphia Times, most peculiar growth known as the ''deyl plant, which is so deadly as to render all insect life and vegetation in innocent in appearance, being of a ten der green, cIingiug close to the earth, and sprfnkfed with small red blossoms, cup-shaped, and holding in their hearts single drop of moisture. It is in this singular dew, which the sun has no power to dispel, that the plants most blighting influence is said to lie. Bees by the hundreds have been found dead in the blossoms. Indeed, the hives of the neighborhood are nearly depopulated by the noxious flowers. A gentleman who-is noted as botanist ih these parts tasted this dew and declared that it was of 8 sickening sweetness without odor and visetd like liquid gum. It was allowed to dwell on his tongue, which soon began to burn him so as to raise 8 blister, and the member swe1led up and became disco1ored and exceedingly painful.
 The bees have not been the only suf- ferers by this growth, but every insect approaching it seems to become par alyzed, and after beat or two of the wings above this creeping upas drops ,d1 HC4 1o which have eaten of it die in few hours in the greatest agony with 8 sort of exaggerated tetanus, the skin drawn tense and the eyes protruding from the head. All ordinary remedies fail to restore one in these attacks. Veg citation also seems to shun the ''devil plant, and whole tracts of meadow are now lying scorched and dead from the insidiops approach of this unknown growth. Under the microscope the leaves exhibit innumerable little as to sting the hand on which the leaf is laid, leaving a dull, red mark like the wound of B scorpion. The people of the vicinity say this plant is the forerunner of disaster, it having made previous appearances just before the outbreak of the war and on each occa. sion of the coming of yellow fever.
 An effort has been made to burn ii out, but, protected by it's singular dew, this has failed The dead bodies o1 cattle which have died of eating 1t ou being examined show that the digest i've organs are swollen to four times their natural size and look as if they had been burned; the heart is con gested, and the blood of dark, un. usual tinge, with an odor like benzain The plant is of rapid growth, covering acres in few days, requiring libtla hold, and going over every obstacle 1T its way, the roots being of thread-lilzt fneness and extending only an inch ol two below the surface of the ground but exhibiting extraordinary 3enacit5 once they have seized hold of spot enwrapping pebbles, old roots, etc. like clinging fingers.

Prof. Alfonso Carpentieri, the famous gynecologist of the University of Ma, ples, became suddenly insane Q few days ago. He imagined that he was dying from starvation and thirst, and entering a restaurant drank four cups of coffee, bottle of wine, bottle ot cognac and ate fifteen sandwiches and more than a dozen eggs. When the proprietor declined to serve anything else the professor sprang on the table and cried, with the voice of Stentor: Eggs, eggs! give me eggs and keep me from starving!"
