The Next Mayor.

The physical, moral and com

volved! We must not do as we did
last election, i. e. scatter our votes.
The present administl alton then
po)led about one. fifth of the votes Of
Waco; but do not rely upon that
vote. If you think the present sd.
ministration has been Il faithful
reflex of Waco and Waco people,
then you should vote for the pres.
ent mayor. If you think the laws
have been ignored, gamblers and
the reservation fcstered and pro-
tected, our streets paved In an un-
business like way, then you should
vote for another man, and that man
must have three require ments:
l. Can he he elected as against
the present administration?
2. Would he make a fearless ex
ecutive officer?
3. Would he be a progressive
mayor, man who would advocate
a good thing if offered, or simply
vote ono" to be sure to be on the
edo uolhipg' side.
These are vitsl questions. a
man MUST not only be GOOD MAN,
but must be able to DO GOOD. Oar
mind is fully made up as to the man
in the race to do this. Now let us
elect him.

WAsnINGroN, March 80. Had an
alien, untutored in the kings English,
dropped into the circuit court yester-
day afternoon he might have received
the impression that the benevolent,
elderly looking gentleman with ruddy
face and waves of snowy hair and
beard held the open mouthed attention
of 200 men while he discoursed III slow,
mellifuous tones was preaching a ser
mon from the gospel of peace. The
mistake would have been a natural one,
but it would have been Il mistake, for
the elderly gentleman with the scrip
tural head was the silver tongued ora
tor of Kentucky, Congressman and
Colonel w. c. p Breckenridge. and he
was telling to IL Of his peers and Incl
dentally to the world at large the story
of his intrigue with Madeline Pollard.
The colonel stood III the little wit
ness box, his left elbow resting on
Judge Bradley's desk, with his left
hand pillow for his head and his
right thrust carelessly into his trousers
pocket. He smiled occasionally az he
spoke. At first he was little tremu-
lous in his tterauccs, but he lost that
trace of nervousness before he pro-
ceeded far with his story. Once he
glanced down ut the slender young
woman in the first row of seats before
him; that was when he was assuring
the court that her manner toward him
had been perfectly respectful and very
deferential but for the most part he
addressed himself to his attorney, Maj
Ben Butterworth. who did the ques
tioning. AS for Madeline Pollard, she
never took her eyes from his face. Part
of the time she rested her head on her
hand, and for half an hour she vigor

Breckenridge was telling how he made

CHATTANOOGA. March 30.--The bid
ding off tho Shiloh Baptist church,
colored. for $4,000, is the last card in IL
game of stupendous fraud and clerical
rascality. wherein u congregation OF
slnpe-minded negro worshipers was
robbed OF a magnificent church editic,
built at cost of SOL 600 The sale
was made to satisfy a general creditors
BILL filed by two women. from whom
Rev. u. ID. Olien had borrowed money,
ostensibly for church purposes, and
given church notes for the amount
which he appropriated. Olden was
pastor of this church, and one of the
most eloquent pulpit orators the negro
race has produced. In 1890 he was
sent abroad on an important mission
by the colored Baptist of Tennessee.
He misappropriated thousands of dol
lars of Shiloh Baptist building fund.
and when forced to resign organized a
church of his own. When public
opinion became too hot for him, he, by
his eloquence, induced faithful few
to follow him to Pueblo. Colo, at the
time Of the negro exodus to the west in
1893.
