THE movements of politicians indicate
that the times are hard and out of joint.
This scramble for the spoils of Office is
pitful. Legislators are cajoled and tat
fed, elbowed and importuned until
many of them look as though they had
been run through treadmill Truly,
they deserve profound sympathy.

THERE is disposition on the part of
some to object to Governor Atkinso2's

the victor is entitled to the spoils, and it
doesn't blame the governor for taking
friends into his official family. Besides,
in the light of past events, we don't feel

VIOLENCE MEETS VIOLENCE.

The white caps near Knoxville, Tenn +,
have been having things their own way
for some time. They have been in the
habit of going around at night whipping
men and women, but have struck slate at
last. Another organization has been
formed,s known as blue Boards" and
they having learned that the white caps
intended making raid concealed them
selves near by and at the proper time
attacked the white caps. A regular bat
tie ensued, and two of the white caps
were killed, and one of the blue-beards
wounded. If the law cannot protect
citizens from these midnight marauders
then violence can meet violence.

THE unanimous election of Hon. Pat
rick Walsh to fill the unexpired term of
the late Senator Alfred II. Colquitt is
what the state expected and the people
demanded. Mr.. Walsh has made a mag,
nificent reputation as senator since his
appointment by Governor Northen to
fill the vacancy, and has represented
Georgia IN the most honorable and cred
liable manner. No man that we know
in the state could have done better, and
he has cause, and his host of friends
have cause, to feel proud If his record,
which he will admirably maintain to the
close of his term. Everybody who
knows Pat Walsh loves and admires
him, and feel there is nothing too good
for him in the gift of the state.

to be supported-not because you like

A queer incident occurred recently
at a church meeting in Pomeroy, Ohio,
during a protracted meeting. The
minister had just finished reading the
text Of his sermon when, owing to a
breakdown in the electric plant, the
lights went out and plunged the church
in darkness. After pausing long
enough to request the people to sit
quietly in their seats, the reverend
gentleman continued his sermon, max
ing an eloquent appeal for sinners to
turn from the evil OF their ways. At
the close Of the sermon, which lasted
forty minutes, he drolly remarked: 81

Mrs. Wing and Congressman Breckin-
ridge took place in New York on April

until the following July that the pub

ceremony that Mr.. Breckenridge
promised, in the presence Of Chief Of
Police Moore, to marry Miss Pollard.
According to the testimony, Colonel
Breckenridge continued his relations
with Miss Pollard three weeks after he
was married to Mrs. Wing. This re-
violation OF uniaithfulness and dupli-
city on the part OF Colonel Breckin-
ridge, it is said, has keenly affected
his present wife, and it is now as
serted that when the pending trial is
concluded a suit for divorce will fol-

a WEIRD m.
which Furnished q Ciew To Mrs.
E~rxIeston.s Murderer.


A peculiar story is told Of the causes
which led to the murder Of Mrs. Egg
gleston in Antelope Valley last week.
II seems that Watkins is q sort Of
shyster lawyer and notary public, who
will do any kind OF crooked work for a
fee.
Mrs. Eggleston's property consisted
of 100 acres OF land and a house. Her
brother Mr.. schooley believing that an
attempt WAS being made TO freeze her
out, homesteaded ten acres and the
house in her name to protect her.
The ranch was finally sold at
Sheriff's sale at the instigation Of
Watkins, and T. b. Hickey, it is al
legged bought it in for $50. Schooley
afterwards told Hickey that he could
not hold the ten acres referred to as
he had a title to it, and that Wat
kins MOI the Sheriff had a right TO sell
it.
Mr.. Schooley also said that he had
evidence against Watkins, who had
been mixed up in some crooked work,
which would send him to the Peniten-
tiary. This reached Watkins in some
way, and as Mrs. Eggleston was the
only living witness against him, her
death would naturally be q great relief
TO him.
Now comes the peculiar part OF the
story. A week or so before the MUIR
der, Mrs. Eggleston told several per-
IONS at different times, that she had a
very peculiar dream. She dreamed
that as she was about to open the oven
door OF the kitchen stove one morning,
Watkins popped out with . knife in his
hand, and stabbed her several times.
He had a very murderous look on his
face, and when she awoke, she says
she experienced an extremely strange
feeling. and did not seem to be in her
right mind.
Parties to whom she told this, were
deeply impressed and asked If she
was not afraid to stay in the house
alone, especially at night. She said
she vas old and harmless and she
guessed no one would interfere with
her.
When she was found dead a few
days later, the dream OF the dead
woman was brought wildly back to
the minds OF those who had heard it
and Watkins was Immediately sus-
pected. Subsequent developments
proved him to be the murderer.-Ap-
peal.
Later-We have since been informed
that there was absolutely no truth in
the report that Dick Watkins had been
arrested or even suspected, and that
Mr.. Watkins took no action in the
matter of the sale OF the property
other than directed by the Court.

HUNTING FOR a KISSING
WIDOW.

A long search has been made for a
widow, but she cannot be found, and
SO an estate Of s25, 900 is being held in
trust until some news OF Mrs. Julia
Nickals can be learned. There is
something peculiar about the mysteri-
GUS disappearance OF the woman. Just
before her husband died she ran away
and deserted six little children, for
whom she has never sent an inquiry.
II was supposed that she went to Ger
many, but from the time that she left
Oakland no trace OF her can be found.
In the will Of her husband she was left
one-half OF the estate, amounting to
$25, 900, and this money is at her dis
posal the moment she arrives and
claims it.
William Wallace Nickals, the de-
ceased husband, was a w~ell-known
business man in Oakland and owned a
big ranch in Nevada. After he had
the sensational quarrel with his wife
he forgot TO change his will. In the
absence OF Mrs. Nickals, the Public
Administrator has secured letters Of
administration on the estate OF the
deceased and now has charge OF the
property. In a report made to the
Court recently he states that he has
heard nothing Of the widow since she
went away. He says that it is now
quite necessary to mortgage some pro-
perty OF the estate for $4,000, in order
to have money on haAd to support the
children and give them an education,
and also to pay some claims that have
been filed against the estate.
The report made to Judge Ellsworth
does not show, however, that any
search has been made for the missing
widow, and in fact it is said that some
OF those interested in the estate
are anxious that she shall never turn
up. In this event there will be a great
deal more money to divide among the
heirs and there will he a bigger trust
to be cared for by those now in charge
Of the estate. Recently some attorneys
who have been watching the cas
closely sent several letters to Europe
to make inquiries regarding Mrs. Nick
ais. II she is found there will be a
chance to make some big lawyers fees.
