GoRED BY A GOWNS. Mary A.
Blake, of Stafford, while visiting her
daughter, Mrs. John CHARTERS, on Fri
day evening last, met with what might
have been a serious accident from be-
ing knocked down by a COW, but fortu-
nately was rescued without injury by
the timely interference Of her daugh-
ter, Miss Kate, who was also knocked
down by the animal and gored, receiv-
ing a slight cut in the chin. The es
cape Of both ladies from serious injury,
if not death, was miraculous. Mrs.

Thrown from the Track

ST. LOUIS, June "a passenger
train on the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
which left here at $50 last night was
derailed y miles south of here. The
wreck was due to the dastardly work
of a gang of scoundrels whose evident
purpose was robbery. A rail had BET n
torn loose and removed from the ties.

IT Is now reported that Mr.. Lyman,
of the civil service commission, will be
removed Why 50, no body can tell,
reasonably. General Grant, who was
wise man in his way, used to say that
the best way to effect the repeal Of a
bad law was to enforce it vigorously.
The civil service law is the wort sort Of
a bad law, but as the President and the
cuckoo mugwumps are dead in love
with it, it cannot be repealed during
the present administration. 1t was
therefore hoped it would be made so
Objectionable by Commissioners Lyman
and Roosevelt that the demand for its
repeal would be so urgent and general,
by the time the next one comesin in, as to
be irresistible.

WHEN intelligent people who live
under monarchcal governments read of
the Senatorial scandals under the re-
publican government of the United
States, they shrug their shoulders and
are we'll content to remain as they are,
and to let republics continue to have a
monopoly of revolutions. Frauds must
come, but, under strong governments.
when discovered, those who commit
them get thei, dues, and that too in
short order.

NEXT to the Presidents reduction Of
the moderate fine imposed by the Sec
rotary OF the Navy upon Mr.. Carnegie
for palming off defective armor plates
upon the government, the next most
noticeable thing connected with the
Carnegie affair, is that the employees of
Mr.. Carnegie should have entered into
a conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment, not for their own, but for the
sole benefit of Mr.. Carnegie, who,
though unaware of that conspiracy,
presented its leader, to whom he was
paying large salary, fifty thousand
dollar block of his company's stock.
If this be true, then no longer is plausi'
bility requisite for the credibility of
testimony.

The Strikers.

The Cripple Creek miners, of Colo
RADIO, have imprisoned several town
officers in the Bull Hill fort, and hold
them as hostages for strikers who may
be ARRESTED.
The miners in the coal regions in AL
legany county, Md, have lost their
cause, and they admit it. There is not
that persistent determination that char.
acterized the movements of the strikers
ten days ago.
Striking Indiana miners yesterday
placed dynamite on railroad track
with the intention Of blowing up ira n
loaded with militia, and 100000 rounds
of ammunition arrived in Colorado
Springs, Col, for use in the battle be-
tween deputies and the Cripple Creek
strikers.
As the Powellton, ". Va, men were
coming from work at o'clock yester-
day evening they were fired upon from
ambush by strikers. Four of the work
men were killed. The excitement is
intense. The persons who did the fir
ing are unknown, as are the names of
the killed. Sheriff Human is on the
way to the scene with a posse. All Is
quiet at other points along the line.
The strikers at the Clarion mines,
Pa, learned Sunday that gang Of men
were going to work yesterdaymorning at
Shawmut to unload slack at that point.
This they resolved to prevent and as
sembled 300 strong IN Clarion. Head
ed by brass band they started. When
few miles from Clarion they were re-
inforced by 200 others, also having with
them band. y few miles further OF
the marching strikers were met by a
body of deputies, who ordered them tc
dispense. Upon the miners showing
some hesitancy the deputies charged
aud the strikers 1ed in all directions.
Several Of the leaders were arrested,
and together with 50 of their followers,
who were caught, were taken to Ridg-
way and locked UP. No one was hurt
in the aflray, as far as can be learned.
The authorities expect no further
trouble.

To BE PROVIDED FoR.-The sad case
of A. c. Chewing, who was found in
the Smithsonian grounds in Washing
ton on Sunday insane from starvation,
has attracted a great deal of sympathy.
The victim OF starvation is now cared
for at the Emergency Hospital, and
about 800 has been sent to his wife at
Basic City, Va. 1t is understood that
when Chewing RECEIVERS Secretary
Carlisle will provide for him. Chewn-
ing says he is carpenter and went to
Washington to find work. Failing in
this, he sought government employ
ment. He is evidently man Of re-
fnement, as shown by his letters and
his dress. Too honest to steal and too
proud to beg, he almost died Of starva
ton. The collection for his benefit
now amounts to almost $500. Senator
Daniel and several members of the
Virginia delegation called at the Emer
gency Hospital yesterday and said
they would advance his application for
a government position.

Government is going to send sever

SELLS BROS. ENORMOUS UNITED
SHOWS COMING.

The title of the Sells Brothers
enormous enterprise is not an
empty name nor a vain boast. Its
claim is just as it is; truly "the Big
Show of the World" No only be-
cause of the unparalleled features
presented, its unequaled perform
ance in its magnificent triple Cir
cuses and elevated stages, its all
overshadowing immensity, its grand
geological exhibit including fifty
monster cage menagerie of rare
wild animals.
Remember this biggest of all
shows will be in Texarkana on Fri
day Oct. 18th.
While other so-called big circuses
hold fast to high prices with reduc-
ed attractions, Sells Brothers, the
millionaire magnates, have adopted
the exact opposite. They do not
stint their stupendous performance
in the least, as they have success
fully managed and owned their
Enormous United Shows for the
past twenty-three years, and has
maintained a pre-eminence over all
and is acknowledged to be the "on-
ly big show of the world Since
adopting the low price of admission
to the mammoth aggregation they
have met the approval of the
amusement-loving public, as the
prices have been placed in reach of
all-hfty cents-and it is, without
a doubt the greatest cyclone that
has ever excited the circus world.
How so much can be exhibited for
the small price of admission is a
conundrum we shall not attempt to
answer. If Sells Brothers can
stand it the public and ourselves
will be glad to do so, and Wen all be
there, too.

WHAT is THE MATTERl

Will somebody tell us what is the
matter with this country2 1t Is
said there is an overproduction of
wheat and cotton; that cotton mills
are restricted in operation owing
TO the accumulated stock; that the
banks have more idle money than
ever before. Yet there are thou
sands of people in the cotton fields
clad in tatters and rags; thousands
of farmers and their families, cot
ton and wheat growers, whose gar
ments show the constant wear of
years thousands of people who
scarcely earn enough TO live upon
the plainest food, and millions who
subsist nobody knows how Only Il
few are accumulating wealth, while
the masses are struggling for the
necessaries of life, - shreveport
Caucasian.
Our contemporary asks hard
question in the above, and states
some plain and painful truths.
While we do not profess to know
what is the matter, we have an
opinion, and having it dare express
it, and in condensed form, too The
class legislation enacted during the
past thirty years, by the Republi-
can party, is the cause. The fraud
ulent creation of our public debt in
the manner of issuing bonds, the
creation of National Banks, the
partial destruction of Greenbacks,
the demonetization of silver and the
tariff iniquity, are the main cause
of the effects now existing g-starva-
tion in the midst of plenty, rags
and tatters, when wool, cotton and
their products are cheaper than
ever known before, idleness and
discomfort, where there ought to
be work for all.
But for remedy, and we believe
the Democratic party now in pow
er, will apply it-if not in whole in
part-and within the next five
years great change for the better
will take place The tariff robbery
has already been reformed. Next
let us have free silver coinage of
American silver and more green
backs or treasury notes, and here
is needed the greatest true re-
form-not only to stop contraction
but give us a sufficiency of money
to do the business of the country
with Then within the next five
years drop the National Banks, as
their charters run out, and finally
pay of the national debt as it falls
due in either silver or currency
the bondholders have had their
contracts changed (bettered for
them) why not Uncle Sam do
little changingH
These are our sentiments in plain
English, and we are confident that
they are right, aud would afford
permanent relief to our downtrod-
den people,
