The Red Cloud chief., 1895-05-03

On last Saturday the streets OF Red
Cloud were blockaded with teams, and
they we're hitched to the walks along
Webster street so thick that there was
hardly room to turn around. This very
bad habit caused a little excitement on
said day and came very near making a
clean sweep in front OF this Office. The
oil wagon came gliding down the street
and hove to right in the midst OF these
teams. This same oil wagon had a large
white umbrella attached to it's top'mast,
which spread several feet OF canvas, and
one gay horse seemed to have some OBJ
jections to standing 80 close to that OBJ
ject, and, in trying to steer clear, crowd
ed another team, and that team crowded
another team, and then people began.to
crowd and boiler. Taking it all togeth.
err, they had a high old time. Finally,
when about fourteen hundred people
had grabbed about that many teams, and
the excitement had subsidized somewhat,
Bill Lanes lumber wagon was found to
have beed overturned, one buggy had
both shafts broken of, tho sidewalk
was badly shaken and the street was
terribly trampled upon, otherwise, NO
damage was done.

Verify, the way Of the new bicycli:t is
hard. Everything should clear the road
as, when a person mounts a wheel for
the first time and tries to cut the grape
vine. something's got to drop. That was
the way with Harry Stroup the other
day when he collided with the Gardner
House and expected it to drop, but it
didn't; Harry did, though, and pretty
hard, too. But the best joke was when
our sheriff undertook to follow the hack
line. which he did, too, and he found the
hack at the end of tho line, too; but he
wasn't going to stop for anything like
that, He kept right on going, and went
all ovor that hack-and himself, too.
Say, but what a picnic. Phew

to the giant nerve ana brain that
has brought such marvellous under
takings to a successful close with
out government grant or aid, but |
feel that | would not be true to the
people whose delegate [ am unless
| answered that they dropped out
because they felt that the railroads
were being managed more for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of individuals than
for the development of the country.
They lost interest because so far as
railroad land management was con-
cerned, they believed that tool and
pull were the passwords to official
place and power rather than integ
rity and ability. But a new era
has dawned, and while the people
expect the railroads to take the in
itiative, because they are organizing
and equally interested, they are
anxious to do their share, as is ev-
idenced by this large body of dele
gates, some of whom have like my
self, come nearl y two thousand
miles to attend this convention, and
who will return home at its close to
report what has been accomplished.
| believe there should be in every
county a committee composed of
men who are thoroughly posted on
the particular advantages of their
own district, and who are more in
terested in the general welfare of
the community than In securing a
commission from the sale of piece
of real estate 1t should be the
business of that committee to re-
ceive the immigrant kindly and
help to secure the location best
adapted to him. We have, unfor-
tunately, railroad men whose high
est aim is to sell a ticket, and real
estate men whose chief aim is to
make commission. From both of
these this committee should protect
the immigrant.
In order to make immigration a
success we must make the lmml-
grant successful. [ believe now is
the time for a concerted movement
on the part of railroads and people
to secure immigration to the North
west. For the past three months [
have been visiting the business men
of the cities and the farmers in the
country throughout my state, urg-
ing them to organize for the bring
ing in and proper settlement of i'm
migrants, and, gentlemen of the
convention, this is the message [
bring you, the people of the Ever
green State" will put forward effort
for effort, and put up dollar for dol
lar with the railroads, for the de-
velopment of the state of Washing
ton.

STATE OF WASHINGTON.

Whyte, OF this state, made the fol-
lowing address concerning Wash
ington;
The state of Washington, known
as the Evergreen State" because of
its extensive forests of evergreen
trees, and also because of the mild
ness Of climate, which allows the
grass to remain green throughout
the year in that portion lying west
of the Cascade mountains, is stu
ated in the northwest corner of the
Union. It's form is that of a broad
parallelogram with an ocean from
tage of 245 miles, and length from
east to west of 800 miles. Wash
ington has an area of 1894 square
miles, about as large as Ohio and
Indiana combined, or larger than
all New England and the state of
Delaware. 1t is not possible in the
time allottad here to even mention
all of the natural resources of the
state of Washington, for they are
vast and inexhaustible. She has
more standing merchantable tim
Der than the nine pine-bearing
states of the South. A larger coal
and iron area than the state of
Pennsylvania All the precious
metals are found in her mountains.
While there is no other inland sea
to compare with Puget sound. TO
summarize, Western Washington
is composed Of tide marsh lands,
forests of timber and mountains of
minerals, with ocean harbors for the
navies of the world, while Eastern
Washington is not only the great
granary of the Pacific coast, being
marvelously adapted for the rails
ing of all the cereals, but it is today
producing peaches equal to Della
ware, watermelons equal to New
Jersey, apples equal to New York,
as good grapes and apricots as Cal
ifornia, while pears, prunes, plums
and the smaller fruits thrive as
scarcely elsewhere.
In short, both Eastern and Wes-
tern Washington produce most pro-
lifcally all of the fruits, grains,
grasses and vegetables known to the
temperate zone, while the equable
climate renders them exempt from
frosts and storms. So varied and
favored are the natural conditions
existing in the state of Washington,
that [ cannot conceive of an lmml-
grant coming from any part OF the
world and not find his condition
improved if he be properly located.
From the abundance of wood,
coal, iron and other ores, stone for
both building and lime, and other
raw materials, the inducements tor
manufacturers are great, while the
water power furnished by her rivers
and streams is beyond computation
especially when we remember that
the waters of the state OF Washing
ton are open the year round.
The wonderful increase in ship
ping on Puget sound during the
past ten years, not only to Alaska
and South America, but to Japan
and China, points to Washington as
the gateway Of commerce to and
from the Orient.
I believe the best method to Sc
cure immigration for the North
west, gentlemen of this convention
is by thorough organization at home
and a harmonious cooperation OF

Danger of Supineness.

Though the combined opposition
to the Democratic party in this county
are actively at work, we see no evil
dences that the Democrats are doing
so. They seem to be profoundly asleep.
Can they expect to succeed in this way
Are they foolishly trusting to ProVl'
dence without keeping their powder
dry? A giant who will lie supinely on
his back, trusting to his size and
strength, may be bound and put to
death by pigmies. If the Democrats
wish to elect their nominees for the
House of Delegates, they should arouse
themselves from their supineness and
60 to work. They should work faith
fully and then trust to Providence
Even Hercules would not help the
man who would make no effort him
self. We repeat earnestly, that unless
he Democratic candidates and then
friends and supporters go to work IL
an energetic manner to secure the cleo
ton of the Democratic nominees, they
will not be elected. Strength une2er
cised is of no avail, and if maJoritie'
do not vote, minorities will govern
and the principle of Republican gov
eminent be violated. Do your duty il
arousing the voters.

THE LYNCHlNG OF JEFF ELLIS

He Confessed His Crimes-The Body Mutt
lated and Then Hanged.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. October 16.-Jef1
Ellis, the negro who committed an as
sault on Miss Prater, near Braden, was
lynched near the scene of his crime at
midnight by mob of citizens, who
formed procession and escorted him
| to the scene of his crime to be formally
identified by his victim before being
put to death. His ears and fingers
were cut off, and he was otherwise
mutilated, and then hanged to tele
graph pole.
BRADEN, TENN, October 16.-The
details of the lynching of jeff Ellis
who assaulted Miss Prater, a 17-year
old white girl, in the presence of hel
little sister, and escaped, reached here
this morning. Ellis was brought to
Braden last night and confessed the
crime. Then he was taken to the
house of Miss Prater and she identified
him. While en- route to Somerville
with the prisoner Constable Farrow
was overtaken by 800 men and Ellis
was taken in custody. He was ordered
to kneel down and pray. Then he con.
fessed the crime and also the beating
of his own wife so badly that she died.
Several months ago house belonging
to Mrs. Harrell, near Braden, was fired
at night. and she with two daughters
were burned to death. Ellis confessed
that he and two others fired the house.
Ellis was then mutilated and hanged
to telegraph pole, with this placard
on his breast mo one must remove
this body until shutdown, under pain
of DEATH"
Later the mob took it down and sent
the decapitated head to the family of
the young girl whom Ellis attempted
to assault in North Mississippi four
days ago. Ellis stated that he expected
to suffer death for his crimes and
showed no fear of the fate in store for
him.
The more conservative of the mob
wanted to content themselves by mere
hanging, but bad whiskey got the up
per hand of the younger element and
they took part in the mutilation. No
one wore a mask.

Death Of Th0s. Wood, Esq.

Thos. Wood, Esq, died at his resi-
dence in Charlottesville at o'clock
Friday morning, October 18th, at the
advanced age of So years, 0months, and
s days.
He was probably the oldest alumnns
of the University of Virginia. having
entered as a student the second session
after it was opened. He graduated in
the school of law at twenty years of age,
and among his class mates were Gen.
Ro. Toombs, of Georgia, Gen. John s..
Preston. of South Carolina, Hon. VIM.
Ballard Preston, of Southwest, Virgin
la, and the late Judge E. B. Watson,
of Charlottesville.
The Charlottesville Chronicle says
whilst his legal success was chiefly
as q chancery lawyer, he was ready
and fluent speaker, and for many years
there were few public ssemblages of
our citizens held to consider matters of
public interest, over which he was not
called on to preside. AS a presiding
officer he was unrivalled in this com
munity. He was elected mayor of Char
lottesville in 1859, was re elected in 1860,
and resigned July s, 1861. He also
served the county before the late war
as member of the House of Delegates
for one term, and declined re election
Mr.. Woods first wife died about ff
teen years ago. During her life they
adopted two children. to whom he de-
voted a love such as the most gentle
and affectionate of fathers bestow on
their own children.
His last wife was Mrs Sturtevant,
who survives him. During the last five
years of his life he was consistent

terrain church of this city,

War with England.

Some people, though few we hope
would be pleased to have war between
England and the United States. Nc
greater calamity could befall this ccun
try. 1t would destroy our foreign
trade. and the farmers would be the
greatest sufferers. England is ou1
best market for wheat, and with
foreign trade cut off, wheat in thu;
country would be about 25 cents pei
bushel, unless it's production should be
greatly reduced. There would be nc
sales of it in England that determines
the price now, and, with the usGa
surplus, the price would fall very low
and it would sell for the price thai
feeding it to stock would justify anc
no more.
Were it wise to kill the goose thai
lays the golden egg, it would be wist
to have war with England. War;
are curses and should always bi
avoided when it can be done witt
honor. There is nothing at this time
which could justify war with Eng
land. Extreme Jingoism is as dis
creditable as the cowardly boastines oil
the Court-green bully, who affects t.
be very brave, when he is. in fact,
white iivered coward. In such lingo
ism there is neither good sense no.
courage.
