ELMER OF CAe lures IOWnS alOng the
proposed route will hesitate to i'm
prove the opportunity they have so
long awaited. In the matter Of county
bonds certain localities are expected
to violently oppose the matter, as the
general good to the county il not as
important to them as the preservation
of their commercial supremacy over
the territory that would gain railroad
facilities by the new line. We do
not believe that the opposition can
be strong enough to defeat the meas
ure, but 1t will certainly make deter
mined effort. The increase In the
annual county tax will be only 81, $50
as the present bonds draw $3.50 in
terest and the new ones. will draw
s250O. Considering the large amount
Of this that Little Falls will pay, no
outside community will oppose the
proposition on account Of the taxa
ton question. As q matter of fact
the building of the road will so In
crease taxable values in Little Falls
that the outside towns will soon be pay
ing a less share Of the county tax than
now. .. !. -..:::~.., = - =,
The friends Of the proposition will
endeavor to demonstrate to the people
of the county, when the matter is prop
erly before them. that it will be ofad-
ya' tage for them to approve it, and it
is our beliefthat they will be successful
in their efforts. It will be profitable
to the people of the county to secure
this railroad in the " ~ suggested, and
The necessary work is to satisfy the
people Of that fact.

ingt0n City.

San Francisco, Dec. 1G.---A correspon-
dent at Honolulu, writing under date Dec.
8, says there is no change in the situation
there. The queens adherents are secret
ly arming. Two hundred new Winchesters
were worked into Honolulu in the past
month. The police force is larger and
better disciplined than ever. A vigilant
watch is kept on the royalists. These
latter are certain that on the arrival of
the Alameda, on the 22d, Willis will carry
out his order to reinstate the queen. It
is believed the royalists will make no
premature attack on account of the strong
position of the provisional govern
ment.
The leading political event at present
is the decision of the provisional govern
ment to proceed and remove all employees
not specially loyal to them. This decis-
ion was arrived at by vote of II to l
by the advisatory council.

Western Rail Purchases.

Cleveland, Dec, 16.-The Iron Trade
Review this week says: The beginning
for rail purchases for 1894 is the feature
of the week in iron and steel. The Penn
sylvania road is first to place any consid-
erable contract, and while the $4,000 tons
of s5-pound rails bought are but little
more than two-thirds of last years pur-
chases, the expectation is that the re-
quirements for 1894 will round up close
to the total for 1898. The prices paid
were $24 at the three eastern mills,
among which $4,000 tons were distributed,
and at $25 at the single western mill in
the pool. Late lntimations are that west
ern roads will make good sized purchases
of rails for 1894,

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 18.--A prom
inent citizen of this city has received a

to an inquiry on the Wilson bill. He
writes: q e st

Whether it is passed or not depends en-

Texas Cattle Shfpments.

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 16-From
estimates and actual reports the number
of fed cattle that can be shipped out of
this state by early spring will be fully
100000. Some of the commission men
estimate the number already sent to
market as $4,000. Because of the short
ness of grass, result of last summers
drought, the cattle went on feed earlier
than usual, and will come off an average
of two to four weeks earlier. As cotton
seed meal fed cattle must be marketed
as soon as fat there will be great rush
of Texas fat feeders to market in Jan
uary and February.

here. He reviews the story of the op-
preston of the Tomauchi, tribe Of
pueblo Indians, and says it is due to &
conflict of opinion regarding religion
and taxation. A year ago in September
last 600 Mexican soldiers we're killed in
an engagement which ended in the de-
stroying of the Tomauchi village. In
April last the Indians returned and after
a bloody battle retired to the mountains.
After this the Mormon colony made

for some time to come.

The Cause of rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and
cider, called Tactic acid, is believed by
physicians to be the cause of rheumatism.
Accumulating in the blood, it attacks the
fbrous tissues in the joints, and causes
agonizing pains. What is needed is
remedy to neutralize the acid, and to so
invigorate the kidneys and liver that all
waste will be carried off. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is heartily recommended by many
whom it has cured of rheumatism. 1t
possesses just the desired qualities, and
so thoroughly purifies the blood as to
prevent occurrence of rheumatic attacks.
We suggest a trial of Hoods Sarsaparilla
by all who suffer from rheumatism.

Mrs. Whitney's maiden name was Flora
Payne. She was daughter of ex-senator
Henry b. Payne, of Cleveland, O. In her
family she represents the best elements of
American life, that life in which inherited
wealth and position play but little part, and
where individual merit is the standard of
its excellence. During Mrs. Whitney's girl
life she was brought into contact with many
persons prominent in the political world,
and ut her beautiful home in Cleveland
there were many gatherings of men of ma
tional repute. So she was trained to the
position which came TO her in after years
Mrs. Whitneys age is placed at Al. In APP
pparance she was most distinguished. Her
form was well proportioned, and her hair
was prematurely grey. twas nearly white,
almost since girlhoud, and added to the at
tractiveness of her youthful face. In man
ner she was very afiable, exceedingly diplo-
matte and like her intimate friend, Mrs.
Cleveland possessed tact to wonderful de-
gree.
Mss Flora Payne became Mrs. W. G.
Whitney more than score of years ago.
when her husband was fairly successful
LAWYER, with but n modest income. Her
brother, Colonel Oliver Payne, of the
Standard Oil Company, took a great interest
in the match, and when the first baby came
he gave the young mother round million
dollars. Her brother also bought the present
Whitney mansion at the corner of Fifth
handsome home was suitably furnished
and is regarded as one Of the show mansions
of New York Mrs. Whitney's position was
strengthened by the purchase Of cottage
at Newport. and then came the crowning
feature the appointment OF her husband to
the r0ftfolio OF the navy in the Cabinet of
President Cleveland.
The social success of Mrs. Whitney has
been remarkable. She was woman far
more cultured than the average, who enter
tanned, yet read constantly TO keep herself
in touch with the topics of the day. She
believed in the higher education of women
with great and abiding faith in their abili-
ties and in the future before them, Be-
cause of this she wanted to do her share in
the development of what she believed would
come and ut her house struggling genius
found encouragement as II did no where
else. She was woman who thought, with
ennobling ideas and her greatest delight was
to surround herself with people who could
sympathize with her and instruct her,
The list of Mrs. Whitney's friends and
acqusntances was wider, perhaps, than
that of any other woman in New York.
Her husbands position in Washington and
her own in this city gave double measure
10 her visiting list. Of her most intimate
friends the Clevelands stand first.

BURNED HIM At The STAKE

ry Smith, Tie Him Up and Then
Deliberately Cremate Him.

Henry Smith, who assaulted and killed
little Myrtle Vance a week ago, was burned
at the stake at Paris, Texas, on Thursday.
He was captured at Hope, Ark, the day
previous. Immediate Y the whole town be.
came excited, business was suspended and
the entire population took to the streets.
The fate of Smith was decided upon last
night at mass meeting.
A mob of 1000 persons had gathered
around the railway station when the tram
arrived ut TeXarkana. In order TO satisfy
the curiosity of the crowd and with the be.
lief that his appearance might oppease the
excited crowd, Deputy Sheriff Shanklln or.
dered the negro to show himself at the win
dow. The negro complied. His head had
har ly protruded through the open window
when a bystander made savage lunge at
him with a big knife. The negro quickly
withdrew his head. The deputy shefins
and guards drew their revolvers and swore
they would kill the first person who made n
demonstration toward the prisoner The
mob asked for another view Of the negro.
Deputy Shanklin again com manded the ne.
gro to show himself which he did, remain.
ing in full view of the crowd for about three
minutes
mounted the coach and made an impassion-
ed appeal to the mob, asking them to respect
the law and allow the authorities at Paris to
deal with the murderer. The leaders agreed
to let TIE train proceed
When the train arrived here with Smith
the crowd surrounding the depot numbered
nearly 10000 people The guards attempted
to prevent the mob from taking their pris
oner, but were quickly overpowered, how.
ever and rope thrown about Smiths neck
He was dragged from the train and hurried
to the scene of his crime. All along the
route he was pelted with missiles, struck by
fists, and otherwise maltreated. He was tied
to stake, and after being subjected to every
conceivable torture, hewas cremated amid the
bowling of the mob. All citizens ofthe town
irrespective of class or color, took part in the
lynching.
Before crematng Smith, red.hot irons
were thrust from every side by the madden
ed mob into his body. His shrieks added
vigor to his prosecutors. First the hot irons
branded his feet and inch by inch they crept
up to his face. The man was unconscious,
when at last kerosene was poured over him
and cotton.seed hulls placed beneath him.
A torch set the pyre on fire and all was
quickly consumed. Curiosity seekers have
carried away all that was left, even TO the
ashes.
Smith, some say committed the crime 10
revenge himself on Vance who had him
arrested once when drunk, and dubbed
him. Vance is prostrated with grief and
his wife is dangerously i'll from the shock
