ing that he has beon legally and
lawfully elected Chief Executive.
What further stops, if any, he
proposes. to take, or whether or
not he will attempt to establish
duel governn.snt is not known.
1t is believed Governor Jones will
at once have Captain Kolb arrest
for treason if he attempts to be
sworn in. The intention of Kolb
and his followers when it got
noised about caused a sensation.
Kolb's manifesto was issued lato
this afternoon ut Birmingham
The following ls short interview

ject:
Governor Jones was about to
take the train for Mobile to take
part in the ceremonies attending
tho reception Of the cruiser Mont

festo, wherein Kolb says that by

marked:

thority under the Constitution to

KoLB's MANIFESTO.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 10
The following is Kolb's maifosto,
issued to-day:
During the last State campaign
the paramount Issue was honest
elections--a free vote and a tair
count was the necessary and popu-
lar demand. The election frauds
Of 1892, by which tho will Of tho
poogle as expressed at tho ballot
box was set aside, was fully and
freely discussed in that campaign.
No one denied them. The almost
universal demand was that there
should not be repetation Of the
frauds of 1892, and if repeated tho
people should not again submit.
Every public speaker :who advo-
Gated the reform cause declared
that tho people should not again
submit to tho establishment Of a
do facto State government as the
result of fraudulent election
This sentiment was we'll received
IN every part of tho State and tho
popular demand was that if elect
cd l should be seated as Govor-
nor.

ALL sins promise TO more Than pay
their way TO begin with.
IT takes a good deal of grace to be
a good Christian with a big income.
IT is never hard to do the right
thing after the mind has been made
up,
1T Is doubtful II God ever made a
mar who could please all his neigh
bors.
How CHEAP some people will sell
themselves for the promise OF spot
cash.
AS LONG as he knows that God is
with him why should any good man
worry.
ONE of the first privileges Of every
Christian Is the right TO live without
worry.
WHENEVER we are willing to do
good, God will see that we have
chance,
IT is good thing for you to have
riches, but bad thing for riches to
have you
COPS angels never get very far
away from the man who lives a life
of faith.
THE man who fears the light is
always ready to run frCm his own
shadow.
The richest man is the one who
can give away the most without re-
GREETING It,
No MAN can love his neighbor as
himself until he first loves God with
his whole heart.
MANY a man who would like to re-
I form the world, has a front gate that
won't stay shut.
MANY a church member sponges his
preaching and pays full price for bis
cigars and tobacco.

An Accommodating sentinel.

The colonel of an Alabama regiment
which served through the rebellion,
some one in the Grand Army Sentinel,
was famous for having everything done
in military style. Once, while field
officer of the day, going on his tour of
inspection he came upon a sentinel SIT
ting on the ground with his gun taken
entirely to pieces. The following dia-
logue then took place.
Colonel Don't you know that a
sentinel, while on duty, should always
keep on his feet?"
Sentinel without looking up
"That's the way we used to do when
the war begun, but that's Outlawed
long ago"
Colonel beginning to doubt if the
man was really on duty)-"Are you
the sentinel here?"
Sentinel well I'm sort OF senti-
nell"
Colonel-"W ell, I'm a sort of officer
of the day.
Sentinel-"Well, if you'll hold OH
till Isprt of get my gun together I'll
give you q sort of salute"

Egypt Has No. been ,.odernized Ether ~
to Costume or Custom.
The characters of the Thousand
and One Nights" may be almost
imagined to step out of their setting
words, and take form and glow with
the generous warmth Of life before
ones very eyes, says a writer In the
Gentleman's Magazine. The natives
still drink the same coffee, and out
OF the same cups; they smoke the
same pipes, they wear generally the
same dress, they play the same prim-
tive instruments that whisper the
same strange and plalntive tones.
The funeral professions wend their
way along the streets as OF old; the
popular festivals or moolids are still
observed with the same untiring ca
pacitY for enjoyment the public re-
citers still practice their professions
before admiring crowds; the water
carriers still carry their burdens, 80
welcome to thirsty lips; except in the
houses of the rich and thoroughly
Europeanized, food is still eaten with
the fingers, and in the same manner,
and the hands are washed with the
same basins and ewers; the mosque
Of Ell Azhar still attracts its crowds
of students. Even the old wooden
locks and keys are still in use, and
the water jars are still kept cool In
the latticework or the overhanging
mushrabiyeh window frames. In
stances Of this sort might be multi.
piled a hundredfold. 1t is, indeed, a
wonderful change and contrast that
is presented to the eye when you
leave the European and enter the
native quarter. And the mind and
feelings turn in unison, and become
attuned to the changed scene, The
sense of taking part in a new and
different life steals over you, and you
temporarily throw Off your affinity
with the west and the nineteenth
century. The clock of time is, for
the moment, put back for you.

Extraordinary Cause of Suicide.

A slight printers mistake in the
Paris "Bottln," or Directory, has led
an unfortunate man to commit sui
eide. He carried on business in the
Rue du Faubourg st. Martin. AS he
was looking through the book he
thought he would see If his own name
and address were given. To his sur
prise, he found he was described as
madame" and a widow. Without
losing any time he rushed around the
place where the Directory is printed
to give instructions for an alteration
to be made in the new edition, but,
arriving here, he was told he had
come too late, as the work had gone
to press. Returning home, he locked
himself in his bedroom and blew his
brains out with a revolver. 1t APP
pears that he had been suffering
from the hallucination that he was
being prosecuted by everybody. Lon

Where Dams Were Plenty.

When Gen, Banks army had ar
rived at Alexandria on their retreat
down the Red River, the feasibility OF
damning that stream in order TO re-
lease the boats from the shadows, was
discussed no more at headquarters
than by the rank and file. Riding
one morning by the encampment of
the til 49,, overheard some con-
versation between two soldiers as they
sat on the ground chewing hard-tack.
Il don't believe it can be done" one
of them said.
"You don't? Well, it can. The

required to set their watches by that
of Gen. Grant.
Cherman's corps were on the right
in the line of investment and next
came McClernand. No less than six
teen Iowa regiments belonged to Nc
Clelnands corps, every one of which
was regarded as fighting regiment.
To the Twenty-second Iowa belonged
Nicholas Messenger, private of Com
pany l, the subject of this sketch.
At 10 o'clock, precisely, as arranged,
the assault was made by simultan-
eous rush upon the enemy's fortifica-
tons. So sudden was the movement
that the entire line was within musket
range before the enemy was prepared
to make resistance.
Then came a deadly fire from the
trenches which was more than flesh
and blood could stand and the advance
was checked, permanently checked, all
along the line, except Netherlands
corps.
Immediately in front of the Iowa Di
vision of Netherlands corps was Fort
Beauregard, the very strongest of the
Rebel defense. The Twenty-second
Iowa led the assault on the strong
hold,
Without being aware that Sherman
on the right and Mcpherson on the
left had been knocked out, the Iowans
advanced with no other thought but
to carry the fort before them. But
the Revel artillery was sweeping the
ground in front of the fort as with q
broom. When they reached point
some ten rods from the fort, the num-
Der in line was not more than sixty,
but on they went, and, making ladders
of themselves, they entered the fort
and took number of prisoners. Their
colors waved from the captured fort
and the fact was reported to the corps
commander who made special effort
all along the line in his front; but it
was too hot and the Iowans were COM
PEELED to evacuate the captured fort.
OF the Eleventh, who entered the fort
and planted the colors on the ramparts
five were killed, being slam in the
fort. The loss of the regiment in the
assault was 1874, out of about $50 who
were engaged.
Taken all in all, this charge of the
IOwans on Fort Beauregard is one of
the conspicuous examples of heroism
exhibited in the great civil war.

unattainable, But something can
be done with these odd moments
which are so exasperatingly unpro-

indisputable because there are those

there are to confirm the statement.

CATARRH is sYsTEMATlC

In all cases. There is no such thing as local
catarrh. There is no such thing as catarrh
of the head only, or catarrh of the stomach
only, or catarrh of the throat only, or ca
tarrh of the bladder only, or catarrh of any
other part or organ only. Catarrh is system
attic first, last and all the time. Consump-
tion might as we'll be called a local disease
because the lungs appear to be the parts
most affected. Catarrh in any case is as
systematic as consumption. The whole sys-
tenn is contaminated with catarrh matter.
Every drop of blood in the body is charged
with the poison, which is picked up from the
stomach by the blood and carried around in
circulation afrer dropping down from the
head. Under these circumstances 1t would
appear worse than nonsenscal to expect to
cure your catarrh by poking, squirting,
snuffing or intaling something or other up
your nose. If you ever get cured of catarrh,
it must be by an inward medicine that is
competent to take all the poisonous catarrh
matter down and out of the system from the
inside, putting your whole system in the
proper condition and purifying the blood, so
that you are not catching colds to produce
catarrh or any other disease. What is the use
of throwing your money away or losing your
time, month after month or year after year,
when you can get cured of the most aggra-
waited case of catarrh of any kind in one or
TWO weeks by using the Red Cross Constitu-
tional, the only medicine known at the pres
ent day that is competent to cure catarrh in
this the proper and only way that it can be
cured. Cures guaranteed in all cases. Write

service, and on duty at Little Rock,
Ark. AS he was needing pair OF new
boots be decided to order them made
and called on city manufacturer for
that purpose. Having described what
he desired, he inquired the price, and
the shopkeeper said:
"Our charges for getting up such
boots will be $50 in Confederate scrip
or $40 in hard money"
"All right" said the doctor, you
may make them and have them ready
before we receive marching orders.
But, now, remember your figures, $50
in Confederate scrip or $40 in hard
money"
"Yes," rejoined the shopkeeper, Il
think we now both fully understand
the terms"
In due time the doctor put in an APP
pearance and was shown a fine pair OF
boots, which upon trial proved to be
his ideal of fit. After discussing
their satisfactory appearance, good
quality of material, etc, he thrust his
hand into his pocket, drew therefrom
his wallet, and taking out ten-dollar
Confederate note, cody presented it to
his shoemaker In payment for them.
"Why. sir, said the astonished son
of St. Crispin, 81 told you the price is
$50 in Confederate scrip or $40 in hard
money"
"And so I understand it," replied
the doctor.
"But," said the shoeman excitedly,
you have paid me only SO, and that
in Confederate scrip. 1t is $40 il. paid
in hard money"
"Of course 1 did as you say" quietly
rejoined the possessor of the new boots,
~and I further claim that 1 have full
filled my part of the contract; for,
truly speaking, my friend, that Con
federate scrip is the hardest money l
know anything Of"
And politely saluting the bewildered
shoemaker, he triumphantly marched
to his quarters.

Holding Court in ississiopi.

an Mississippi there used to be
county where it was almost impossi-
BILE to hold court. The lawless back
woods element would come into the
county seat and break it up" said
Neil Caruthers, prominent attorney
of that State, to st. Louis reporter.
Judge Clarke once went there to
hold court. The first day he had a
bucket of water poured over him
from chimney hole in the roof, and
several pistol-shots were fired in the
courtroom The next day, as he
opened court, he laid two large pistols
on the desk and at the first sign OF
disturbance levelled the pistol at the
man and conducted him to Jail.
After that there was no more distur-
bance, and the better element OF the
community were anxious that he
should return the next term, but he
declined with sentence that has
passed into political proverb in
Mississippi: 4 regarded my coming
into this county as an adventure, /
regard my leaving it as an escape"
