ocrats of Jefferson county arose In their might and hurled from power the Republicans who had caused so much strife and misgovernment in this county. A long stride forward was made in reform, and ticket was elected by the Democrats of the county. Since that time the labor of the county has been more happy and consented than at any time since the war. Removed from politics the negro has made a peaceable and law abiding citizen With straight ticket he would be more happy and contented than under former con ditions, when he was taken from his fields and wrought up to a pitch of frenzy by negro politicians and heelers who worked for a selfish purpose. If a straight ticket shall succeed in running this element of strife breeders out of the county, the condition of the white man and the negro will be immeasurabIy better. That has been the experience of all the Southern states, and it will be
 the experience of Jefferson county
 when the negro is eliminated from politics.

 Judges Decision.
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES EXPECTED.

Chiefs Were Arrested and Fined For
 DisorderIy COnduet-Their Followers
 Took Up Arms and Demanded Their
 Release-In a Fight Many Are Killed,
 Wounded and Taken Prisoners.
 AUCKLAND. New Zealand. March 31. The steamer Alameda from San Francisco, which has just arrived here, brings news of disturbances at Samoa which threaten serious consequences unless checked. Trouble has grown out of the new supreme judges idea in imposing fines on minor chiefs for dis orderly conduct, and imprisoning and compelling them to work on the public roads in default of payment. The fol- lowers of the chiefs arose in armed re- bellion against the indignities to their leaders, demanding their release. An attempt was made to disarm the re- bellious natives. They denied the right of foreigners to interfere. refus- ing to lay down their arms.
 In several encounters party rebels were killed and 50 wounded. A num- Der were made prisoners by govern ment troops and dozen killed and many wounded.
 The kings troops celebrated the vic- tory by torturing one prisoner i'll 2 hor- rible manner, also made attacks upon defenseless villagers and indulged in most frightful atrocities, houses burned, dead bodies beheaded and cut into small pieces desisted only when nothing was left to destroy or no body to kill,

TIE compromise. calamity how lers continue to shriek that a straight ticket will demoraIize labor. The history of the South shows the opposite to be true. In Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana where they have absolute white supremacy the colored labor is more happy and eontented than in the days of recon struction, when black labor through out the South was thoroughly de moralized.

A STRANGE CASE.

In addition, had strange weakness in my back and around my waist together with an indesertDaDle zone feeling in my stomach. Physicians siiid it was creeping paralysis, from which, aecord- ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no relief. Once it fastens upon person, they say it continues it's insidious progress until 1t reaches a vital point and the sufferer dieS. Such was my prospect. l had been doeteFlng q year and half steadily, but with no par fIcuIar benefit when 1 saw all adyertl tlsemen6 of Dr Miles Restorative NeFylne pr0eufed q bottle and began using it. Marvellous as It may seem. but few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had Ie1b ne, and there has not been even the slightest indication of It's return. now feel as well as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though l had run down from ITO to 137. Four others have used Df Miles Restorative Nefvine on my feeonen- dation, and it has been as satisfactory in thelr cases as i'll mine. .'-James Kane, La Rue O

One of the fayorite arguments Of the
skeptic is that the Biblical story OF J0-
nah and the whale cannot be true sim
ply because the books on natural history
say that such animals have very small
throats. Appleton's American Cycto-
pedia says, "The food Of whales consists
only of the smallest of the marine mol
lusGa, herring being the largest fish
they can swallow. " Chambers Encycio-
pedia, in the article whale" says:
1.-THE gullet of whales is very narrow.
1t is said NOT to be more than | q inches
in diameter oyen in a large whale, SC
that only very small animals can pass
through it," In McMillan's book on the
curiosities of the ocean, "The Sea and
Its Denizens," chapter 5, page 60,
find the following; 'That the story o.
Jonah and the whale cannot be refuted
