AFTER BIG GAME.

"The Bot-no Gottle" club is composed of
Judge Underhill, Larry Alexander, Clarence
Alexander and few more kindred spirits
They are enthusiastic fishers but delight to
fish for larger game than is found near Canton.
Every year they take trip either to the upper
lakes or the Canadian fishing grounds, and the
stories they tell when they come home of their
fishing experiences would put Isaac Walton TO
shame and even call a blush to the cheeks Of
Baron Munchausen. The lata G.. " L. Mel
linger was a member Of the club and ole of its
most successful fisherman. Mr.. Mellinger was
an enthusiast in fishing as he was in all out
door sports, and on the last trip the club to
Canadian waters was one Of the most success
ful of them all. However, to name all the
fishermen in Canton as well as those who
think themselves fishermen would oil the en-

Oil, not water, should be used when
you really want to clean your face.
Learn lesson, my lady friends, from the
actress. If an actress tried to wash with
soap and water her nightly makeup from
her face she would have no skin to speak
Of in week, to say nothing about COM
election. She never makes any such mis-
takes. She removes her makeup with
oil, usually and preferably cCaco oil. And
she learn by experience to do the same
thing when she wants to get rid of the
CRIME of travel. Oil cleans the skin more
thoroughly than soap and water, rs you
can thoroughly demonstrate after n jour
noy or any such soiling experience. If
you don't mind the abuse Of your skin for
once, just wash your face after the old
fashion, as well as you can; then cover it
with oil and remove the oil with q soft
cloth. One look at the cloth will prove
that the soap and water did not get it

Judge Fawcett and @. l.. Hiner are both en-
thusiastic fisherman, although the jugde can
almost always catch more fish than Hiner
Theyare both what is known as hunters. That
is, they have no definite knowledge of where
the channels and beds are located, but fish first
here then there until they strike a bed. The
judge, however is not so nervous as Hinerand
is more contented to wait in one place. And
as everything comes to him who waits the
judge more often brings home large string
than does Cicero. In addition the judge is

brings home good string Of this game fish

the escaped convicts and the serious wound
ing of officer John Wolfert, occurred here
this evening Prisoners Hill. Waddell and
Heffen, the first two eo..med for lberating
prisoners a month ago, secured a gun and
forced the guard to open the cage. They
then armed themselves with Winchesters in
the cell house and started for the hills.
Sheriff Oden Immediately summoned a num-
Der of deputies and gave chase. Within
mile from town the trio were overtaken.
They were afoot. while their pursuers were
well mounted, and escape was impossible
A demand to surrender, however, was an
swered with a volley from the convicts
who had taken refuge behind large rock
This was the signal for general firing which
was kept up sharply by both sides for fully
half an hour. For the time being, because
of their barricade the convicts had the
better of the situation, and before any of
them had been hit by the deputies shots
officer Ben Wolfert received bullet
through the left arm and officer Prior's
horse was shot from under him. So soon
as Prior's animal fell the officers scat
tered, and. surrounding the rock, poured
shot after shot into the convicts. At the
first volley, which was given in concert
Hill and Heffen were killed. The firing
was kept up, however, but soon Waddeil
surrendered. Officer Wolferts wound is
serious. His arm has been amputated.

NEGRO REGISTRATION Law.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. May 4-There was an
exciting scene in the United States Court

fore Judge Golf, as to whether the tenn
porary injunction restraining State Off
GERS from taking further steps toward the
holding of constitutional convention this
summer shall be made permanent. Gen.

the registration law attacked as uncon-
stitutional. DIR. Sampson Pope, the de-
feated independent candidate for Governor.
who is pushing the case for the injunction,
i'm his speech to-day severely attacked Gen.
McCrady, taunting him with desiring TO
defraud the negroes out of their right TO
vote. In reply General McCrady COM
menced reviewing Pope's record showing
how sudden was his solicitude for the
negroes to vote. Two years ago Pope had
party so amended that the only negroes
who could vote in the Democratic party
from ten reputable white men that they
voted for Hampton for Governor in 1876,
and had voted the Democratic ticket con-
tinuousiy ever since. He charged that
now in seeking to have it made easy for
negroes 10 vote. He then concluded his
argument, the main object of which was to
show that the United States Court had no
jurisdiction in the case.
Judge Goff announced that he would
render his decision early next week. The
general expectation is that he will declare
the registration law unconstitutional. At
the suggestion of Attorney-general Barber,
Judge Goff signed order suspending the
injunction against W. Bridges Green, the
supervisor of registra ton for Richland
county, so that he can perform the func-
tions of his office on Monday There are
two cases in the United States Court at
tacking the constitutionality of the dis
pensary law. Both cases will be heard
here Monday.

TROUBLESOME REDSKINS.

SPOKANE FALLS. Wash, May 4.-The
trouble between settlers and renegade In
dians of the Kalispel valley, which has been
brewing for long time. has at last
suited in a conflict and the present state
of affairs in the valley indicates serious
trouble, and bloodshed is sure TO result
unless the government at once steps i'm with
troops to protect the settlers. Hostilities
began on Tuesday when three settlers
named William Jared, BID Jared and
Oscar Mclaughlin were attacked by band
of redskins led by Big Sam, who at
tempted to drive them from quarter sec
tion of land which they were fencing in.
Big Sam opened things by drawing iron
bar from under his blanket and aiming a
blow at William Jared who was felled to
the ground The other Indians then rushed
in with knives and clubs. After "A short
fight, the whites, all badly wounded, sue.
ceeded in reaching their boat. They opened
fire on the Indians, killing one, the others
escaping by lodging behind trees and rocks,
where the whites dared not follow, being
largely outnumbered by the reds. The In
dianS then ran to their camp, mile dis
tant and soon returned fully armed, but
the settlers had put the river between
themselves and their foes. The settlers
aroused over this latest outrage and are

NO PRICE WAS FIXED
OHIO COAL MINERS AND OPERATORS
COULD NOT AGREE.
Difference of Cents Between Em-
plOye and EmplOyer-LOckOut Now
Probable-TrOops for Pocahontas.

COLUMBUS, o., May 4-The joint confer
ence Of miners and operators adjourned sine
die tonight without fixing the price OF
mining. Although there was only cents
difference between the miners and opera
tors propositions each side refused to make
any further concessions. and the confer
ence was only in session a few minutes
after it reassembled. A lockout now seems
probable. az the operators say they cannot
operate their mines and pay over 81 cents
for mining. They claim they cannot COM
pete for lake trade against the Pittsburg
district at the rate proposed by the miners.
About "a. 900 miners in the State suspended
work May 1, pending settlement. This
suspension may continue until June l. The
operators will probably quietly await the
end of the Pittsburg strike and, in event
of failure to adjust differences there with
the miners, will declare a lockout. The op-
orators, 1t appears, have anticipated a sus-
pension, and months stock of coal, it is
said, has been accumulated. A suspension
of several weeks, therefore, considering the
light demand for coal at this season of the
year. Will hardly be noticed in the market.

THE TENNESSEE OUTRAGE.
Counting I'm of Turney Denounced by
Democratic Organ.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 4.-The Nash
vile Banner says editorially to-day under
the heading of ''The Democracy's Duty
1.-THE wrong that was perpetrated last
night by the joint Assembly in the name Of
Democracy was done in the face of the
earnest protest of the overwhelming ma
jority of Democrats in Tennessee. 1t is a
fact beyond all question that the mass Of
the Democracy and the best and prevailing
sentiment of the party in this State is
emphatically opposed to the partisan action
taken by a misguided majority of the
Democratic members of the General As
semby in this contest case and the indigna-
ton expressed in this city this morning over
the indefensible action which overturns the
peoples election for Governor is but an
earnest of the general condemnation
throughout the State. The Democracy OF
the State condemn this action and they will
in due time and in a proper manner man.
ifest that condemnation by rebuking those
who have misrepresented the people of the
party. The duty of the Democracy OF Ten
nessee is plain. The machine must be
given to understand that it cannot defy
right principle and prevailing Democratic
sentiment and go unpunished. The fight
for the vindcation of the party will be
kept up and the people of other States must
understand that the Democracy of Tennes-
see has been misrcpresented in this matter
and their wishes utterly disregarded.
Next Tuesday has been selected by the
Legislature for the inauguration of Gov.

A PESTHOUSE RIOT.
Kentucky Farmers Drive Back Sher-
i'll with a Smallpox Prisoner.

WINCHESTER, Ky, May A pest
house riot broke out to-day. colored
prisoner in the county Jail has smallpox.
To-day lumber was secured and carpenters
put to work on a pesthouse five miles out.
The farmers turned out EN- masse, armed
with Winchesters. The carpenters had al
most completed the pesthouse before the
mob gathered. The citizens were stationed
along all roads leading from Winchester
TO the pesthouse. The sheriff came out to
protect the carpenters with a large posse
and was driven back into town by two
hundred armed men.
Tonight the pesthouse was burned and
the farmers on all sides of the town are
guarding the roads in anticipation that the
smallpox prisoner may be taken through
their neighborhood to some obscure To-
cality. They insist that they propose to
stop shipping contagious cases from the
towns TO the country districts. Meantime
the sheriff, whose residence is in the JAIL
has his smallpox prisoner and his hands
cannot get out of town in any direction.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Western Lines VIII Again Try to


Form n Passenger Association.
CHICAGO. May At is probable that
meeting of the executive committee of the
Western lines will be called some time
during the coming week for the purpose
of pushing along the formation of the
Western lines passenger association. II
the executive officers do not take a hand
In the settlement a meeting of the general
passenger agents will be held and each
agent will receive such instructions as will
make the formation of the agreement an
easy matter. The old trouble between the
Alton and the Wabash over the 25-cent
rate at East ST. Louis is I'm fair way to
be settled, and 1T will without doubt be
disposed of when the officials OF the two
lines get together. Both lines have or late
expressed themselves in a very concilia-
tory manner on the question. With this
trouble out of the way the Missouri Pa
cific will join the association. and il Is ex-
pected that the other troubles which pre-
vent the association from becoming ef-
fective will be adjusted within short
time. The trouble has been of late that
none of the lines took any interest in the
matter, apparently caring very little
whether the association lived or died. They
seem now to have awakened somewhat
1t is expected that during the early part
Of next week an open rate or $40 will be
ordered into effect from Denver to the Mis-
souri, river. This rate Will be kept in e.
feet for about thirty days, or until the

IT is charged that the Denver market has
been stocked with the return portions of
these tickets, and the object OF the pro-
posed reduction is 10 keep the scalpers
from absorbing the Hons share of the
