DRAWING TO A CLOSE.

Concerning the heated and acri-
monious contest now being waged
for the Democratic nomination, to
succeed W. G. P. Breckiuridge, in
the fifty fourth congress, from the
Seventh district of Kentuck, a yes
terday's special from Lexington,
has this to say:
The primary Democratic election
in this Congressional district ends
one of the bitterest political con-
tests in American history, and if
Col. W. G. p. Breckenridge is de-
feated it ends at the same time a
brilliant but somewhat erratic Ca
reer. For months the contest has
waged. Every hamlet and town,
every rostrum and pulpit, every hill
and dale in this famous district has
resounded with charges and coun-
ter-charges with appeals for sym.
pathy and appeals for retribution'
After the verdict of the Pollard
Breckenridge suit it was believed
that Col. Breckenridge would retire
from politics. He was determined,
however, to stand for denomination
and the men who contest for the
honor with him are W. G, Owens
and Evan Settle.
W. G. Owens, considered the man
most likely to defeat Breckenridge
in the Ashland district, is a native
of Scott county KY, one of the
wealthiest in the bluegrass region,
and has lived there all his life. He
is A years old and unmarried. He
is a graduate of Columbia College
law school in New York City Of the
class Of 1872. Two years later he
began his political career in a sue
cessful race for County Attorney Of
Scott county. He resigned this
Office two years later and was sent
to the legislature for five executive
terms
He was one of the most innuen.

LYNCHED IN JAIL.
Linch Waggoner, the Louisiana Des'
perado, Shot to Death by
Forty Masked Men.

|
A special dispatch from Shreve-
port, La, under date of Sept. 10,
gives details of the lynching of the
notorious desperado, Link Wagon
er, in the parish jail, at Minden,
La, under the following circum-
stances:
The notorious Link Waggoner
was shot to death by masked men
who broke into the parish jail at
Minden yesterday. Waggoner had
been at Monroe but was brought to
Minden Friday evening, his trial be-
ing set for Monday.
The citizens we're aroused at |
o'clock yesterday by cries of "mur-
der" from the prisoners in the jail.
A citizen fired a pistol, rang the
Presbyterian church bell and sue
ceeded in collecting a crowd which
went in the direction of the jail, but
the mob had made quick work, kill
ing Waggoner and leaving the place
in thirty minutes.
Three white men in the cell with
Waggoner had been compelled by
the mob to hold him. Waggoner
cursed them and defied them as long
as he had breath to call them cow
ards and said if he had one pistol he
could whip the whole crowd He
was shot twelve times land died
in few minutes.
The mob consisted of about forty
masked men. The affair is deplor-
ed.
Link Waggoner had been indicted
by the grand jury for the shooting
of W. S. Holland. He evaded ar
rest until last November when Dep
uty Sheriff Reagan of Webster par
ish went to Nacogdoches county,
Tex, and laid the matter before
Sheriff Spradley.
Sheriff Spradley at once organic
ed small posse and proceeded to
the Waggoner homestead Arriv-
ing, the posse surrounded the house.
When Link saw them he appeared
at door with a revolver in each
hand, but seeing that he was sur
rounded, surrendered, after a deal
of parleying on the part of himself
and relatives.
Deputy Reagan passed through
Shreveport with his prisoner and
took him to Minden. Afterward
the prisoner was brought back to
Shreveport and placed in jail for
safe keeping. When the Webster
parish court met last March, Link
was acquitted of trying to assassin
ate Holland and was Immediately
arrested for stealing a mule.
He was then conveyed to the Mon
roe Jail for safe keeping, as the
prejudice against him in Webster
was very great.
Link Waggoner was a dashing,
young and handsome man, good
horseman and marksman. He had
long black curly hair, fine eyes and
complexion. His deeds of daring
equal those of the late Jesse James.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.

WASHINGTON, September H.
Charles A. Lee, Supreme reporter
K. of p, was asked regarding the
session of the German Lodge of
Indianapolis, He said he was not
surprised to hear of it and would
not be surprised to hear of 9TH
ers.
''This is America, " said Mr.. Lee,
"and we want our order to be an
American order. 1t will be better
for these chapters to get out of the
order if they are not willing to con-
form to the American style of
things. We have over 500, 1000 men,
bers, and about $4,000 German
members. If these $4,000 German
members go out, $4,000 new men
will come in on the strength Of the
new rule"
Mr.. Lee denied that the last
Supreme Chancellor had afTronted
the German members and asserted
that the new Chancellor, Walker B.
Ritchie, was in perfect accord with
him.
Mr. G. Hochstatter, another Su-
preme representative, agreed with
him Nee) that lodges must either
conform to the laws or get out of

Deep Water Appropriation Likely to
Give Better Results Than
Was Expected.

A Washington special of Septem
Der 10th, gives the following inter
esting and encouraging news con-
cerning the deep water project at
Sabine Pass:
The chief of engineers of the
army is in receipt of a report from
Major ]. B. Quinn, in charge of the
improvement at Sabine Pass, which
contains recommendations for the
expenditure of the funds appropri-
ated by the river and harbor act
for the improvement of that inn
portant harbor in Texas. The act
makes available 1915, 900 to be ex-
pended during the coming fiscal
year, and from Major Quinn's re-
port it is evident that the money
appropriated will give even better
results than the friends of the en-
terprise contemplated, Maj. Quinn
submits map of the work done up
to the middle of August, and under
date of August goth writes that
the jetty had been extended II, 100
feet, with the outer 45O feet par
italy completed.
'The channel" says Mr. Quinn,
(which was dredged, to fully sixteen
feet, has not only maintained its
depth for the past eight months,
but has apparently materially i'm
proved through the effects of the
natural scour There has been no
deterioration from wave action, al
though above 1000 ft. of channel is
beyond the protection of the east
jetty. AS far as present expert
ence goes it is evident that if some
further extension of the east ietty
is made, a dredged channel of "a or
% feet will maintain itself. The
necessity for obtaining navigable
depth of water in the pass of "a
feet at mean low tide is very ur-
gent. 1t is therefore recommend
ed that to secure this object $110,-
600 be allowed for dredging pur-
poses during the coming year
This amount at present prices for
such work will insure a channel of
the required depth of 100 feet in
width"
The engineers Office states that
for the money expended no better
results have been obtained in deep
water harbor construction on the
coast, and that at the end of the
present year the great forests adj
jacent to Sabine Pass will be
brought into prompt and safe wa
ter communication with South
America, which has the largest
uses for its timber, and with ports
on our own coast which have been
hitherto blocked to access to the
long-leafed pine land of Southeast
ern Texas on account Of the shall
lowness of the water at Sabine
Pass.
Gen, Casey and his assistants are
confident that the flow of water
through the pass from the river
will, when the jetty walls are com
pleted, maintain the full depth Of
water by the self-foating action Of
the current. Ships drawing 10 feet
of water enter the harbor, and
within a short time vessels of "a
feet draft will enter the pass from
the gulf and load at the town.

Cobra Venom.

DR.. Calmette began his experiments
with the most powerful of the reptile
poisons and made an analysis of the
venom of the cobra.
One Of the most curious facts in sci
ence is that two substances having al
most identically the Same chemical
compositions can have effects SO differ
ent upon the human body as to repre-
sent the best support of life on the one
hand and the quickest termination of it
on the other. The albumen, or white,
of an egg and the poison of the cobra of
India are so nearly Identical in compo-
sition that it takes & very careful analy-
sis to detect the difference.
1t was long supposed that the fatal
principle of snake poi1on was an animal
alkaloid, but late analyses have caused
the abandonment of this idea. The fact
which. for long time, placed cobra
poisoning beyond the reach of remedy
was its very similarity to albumen, it
being held that no specific which would
neutralize or dectroy it could be pre-
vented from neutralizing and destroy
ing the albumen of The blood as we'll.
The poison contains ty-o distinct albu-
minoids-one ccagu-able and the other
persistently liquid in form. The latter
is the active and death producing prin.
ciple and remains superior to heat of
1o0 degrees .oas we'll as to evapora-
tion, the solid result retaining all the
deadly properties os the liquid. Mo
