who have so earnestly labored to
secure government recognition of
the necessity for and feasibility of
securing navigation in this stream
and will, no doubt, finally result in
the accomplishment of the greatly
desired end, One reason, of course,
which accounts for the limited
amount of the appropriation, is the
scarcity of government funds at
this time. Hence, with a replen-
ished treasury and increased con-
ception Of the practicability andim-
portance of the work, on the part
of the government, we may reason
ably expect from the next congress
an adequate appropriation with
which to complete the work on

THE TRIAL GROWS WARM.
Breckinridge Contradicts Mrs. Black
burn Evidence Nearly
All In.

Washington dispatches, of yes
terday concerning the Pollard
Breckenridge, breach Of promise
case, Indicate that the torture
of the defendant, Breckenridge, on
cross examination, during the day,
at the hands Of Judge Jere Wilson,
was little less than that commonly
ascribed to the Spanish inquisition
The interest of Col Breckinridge's
examination was varied by a scath-
ing rebuke from Judge Bradley to
the horde of curiosity seekers who
throng the court room daily in
search OF choice bits of the disgust
ing scandal which are supplied daily
by the developments of the
trial
Col, Breckenridge averred that
Mrs, Blackburn's description Of
nearly every one of the material
occurrences when their paths were
crossed was wrong, but qualified
his denials by the statements that
she had confused times and places,
had put constructions not intended
upon his utteranCes and had at
tributed to him things said by
Madeline Pollard, but inserted a
saving clause, that she had no
doubt honestly endeavored to give
her recollection of events,
It is thought that the defense
will close their case early today,
The plaintiff has several witnesses
in town for rebuttal. Mrs McClel-
Ian Brown of Cincinatti, the wife
Of the former principal of Wesleyan
Institute, is registered at the Riggs
house. Other Kentucky witnesses
who are stopping at the same
place are j, M. Keene and ]. M.
Kelly of Lexington, and H. Queen
Of Covington. Besides these people
Mr., Wilson laid the foundation for
the appearance Of several witnesses
to impeach Col. Breckenridge, one
Of them the colored cook at Miss

had occurred near Cloud Chief, in
the Indian Nation, on Wednesday,
April 4th, and a battle fought be-
tween the Indians and whites re
sulting in the death of ten redskins
and five white men, The Indians

headquarters Of the department Of
Missouri, from Col, George Purling-
ton, commander at Fort Reno, re-
garding the alleged Indian uprising
in Oklahoma The telegram said

quarrel arose between two white
men and Chief Hill, a Cheyenne,
concerning the ownership of a pony.
Chief Hill was shot and mortally
wounded by one of the white men,
W. L, Breeding, and the latter was
in turn shot by the chief and killed.
Chief Hill also shot the other white
man, w. H. Carter in the arm,
Col, Parlington said the body Of

THE DEATH PENALTY PAID.

News reached this city from New
port Ark, announcing that the
three train robbers, convicted of
the murder Of conductor W. p. Nc
Nally, at Olyphant, Ark had paid
the penalty of their crime on the
scaflold, at 7o'clock this morning.
The execution took place in the
jail yard at Newport, under the d.
rection of Sheriff Hobgood and his
deputies. Thus ends the career of
three out Of the four men who con-
ceived the fatal plan to rob the
passenger train at Olyphant Ark,
few months since, and who ac-
tually took part in the fight that
followed, resulting in the death of
the brave conductor, W, p McNal-
ly, who gave his life as sacrifice
to duty and died in the defense OF
his passengers and his company's
property, No immediate details of
the execution have been given out,
but it is understood that the scene
at the scaffold passed off without
unusual incident or undue ex-
element.

PLANT LESS COTTON.
The Southern Farmer AdmOnished to
Decrease His Cotton
Acreage,

To the thinking and wellinformed
mind it is easily apparent that the
success Of the cotton planters in
the South depends upon the mum
Der Of acres they will plant in cot
ton and the quantity of corn they
will raise and the attention they
will devote to the raising Of hogs
Less cotton and more hog and hom-
my ought to be the rule of the
planter this year. The Atlanta
Constitution gives the southern
farmer some excellent advice when
it says: 1--WE beseech our farmers
to plant less cotton and raise a
more generous supply of food pro-
ducts. We know this advice is not
new, but prevailing conditions make
it of unprecedented Importance.
The current crop Of cotton has not
been very proftably marketed-in
fact the ruling price today is said
to be below the average cost of
production Now, if the farmers
will reduce their cotton acreage
this year and thereby lessen the
forthcoming crop, the worlds con-
sumption of the staple will easily
overtake the supply, and material
advance in cotton before the first
bale is picked of the next crop will
be inevitable The South has a
practical monopoly of cotton pro-
duction, and it is shame, indeed,
that the possibilities of immense
wealth, which that natural monop-
oily offers, should be turned to posi-
tive disadvantage by reckless over
production Our farmers should
fill larger barns with corn and big
ger smokehouses with meat-to
widen their pastures for increasing
herds Of cattle, and toimprove their
stock breeding Secure all these
substantial essentials to successful
farming and let cotton, for one year
at least, be virtually surplus crop.
Try the experiment, if only for va
riety's sake, and at the end of the
year compare the result with those
who have followed the practice Of
planting for big crop regardless
Of whether it brings little or much
when taken to market"

hard for the gate. Turn the horses
round and follow herl" said Vidal to
the driver. While this was doing Ma
rion caught sight of her father riding
hard down the avenue. He passed them
and called TO them to hurry on after
him.
Lali had not the slightest sense OF
fear, but she knew that the horse had
gone mad. When they passed through
the gate and swerved into the road, q
less practiced rider would have been
thrown. She sat like wax. The pace
was incredible for a mile, and though
General Armour rode well he was far
behind.
Suddenly trap appeared in the road
in front of them, and the driver, seeing
the runaway, set his horses at right
angles TO the road. 1t served the purpose
only to provide another danger. Not far
from where the trap was drawn, and
between it and the runaway, was lane
which ended at farmyard in cul de

Stacking its pace, and in the fraction OF
"a mile came 20 tho farmyard.
But now tae fever was in Lali's blood.
She did not care whether she lived or
died. A high hedge formed the cul de sac.
When she saw the horse Stacking, she
cut him savagely across the head twice

as he struck the ground squarely he
staggered and fell, the girl beneath

ground was soft and wet. The weight
of the horse prevented her from getting

death struggle, and once her shoulder
was struck. Instinctively she buried
her face in tho mud, and her arms COW

And then slio knew no more.

CHAPTER VI.

Lali's recovery was not rapid. a
change had come upon her. With that
strange ride had gone the last flicker OF
the desire for savage life in her. sho
knew now the position she held toward
her husband; that he had never loved
her; that she was only an instrument
for unworthy retaliation. So soon as
she could speak after her accident she
told them that they must not write to
him and tell him Of il. She also made
them promise that they would give him
no news Of her at all, save that she was
we'll. They could not refuse to promise.
They felt she had the right TO demand
much more than that. They had begun
10 care for her for herself, and when
the months went by and one day there
was n hush about her room and anxiety
and then reiief in the faces Of all, they
came 20 care for her still more for the
sake Of her child.

She entered the stables, made for a
horse that she had ridden much, put a
bride ON him, led him out before any
one had seen her, and catching him by

at bound, and giving him q tap with
a short whip she had caught up In the

Then he rushed for a horse to follow
her. Mrs. Armour's hands clasped
painfully. For an instant she had al
most the same thought as had Marion
ON the first morning Of Lali's coming,
but that passed and left her gazing help
lessly after tho horsewoman. The flying
blanket had frightened the blooded
horse, and he made desperate efforts to
fulfill the generals predictions.
