Treaty Very Uncertain.

Treaty Very Uncertain.
LONDON, April 26.-The Central News
correspondent in Shanghai sends this
dispatch: A Pekin telegram says there
is crisis there. Some of the gener-
ais favor war, and the censors, who OBJ
ject to Ii Hung Chang and the treaty
negotiated by him contend that the
yielding of territory ought to diminish
the indemnity. The ratification is un-
certain. The officials will leave the de-
cision to the emperor. If the treaty be
ratified, trouble in the army is likely.

Lightning and a Live Oak Tree.

Lightning struck large live oak
rec on Mr.. S. p. Goodwin's dairy farm,
at Vale Royal, west of Savannah, Ga,
the other morning. The fluid first hit
a large limb on the west side, and,
running down, penetrated the body of
the tree about IS feet from the ground,
passing entirely through the body,
which is about feet thick, and split
ting it from there to the ground, pass
ing out at the roots, tearing up the
earth for a number of feet around.
The hole where the fluid entered the
tree is about inches in diameter, and
looks as though it might have been
made by cannon ball The bark
was nearly all torn off the tree and
thrown for number of yards around,
some of the pieces being as much as
feet long and IL to IS inches wide.

John Taylor Killed.

Word reached the city Sunday OF the
killing OF John Taylor who lives near
Fairburn. The facts as near as a be
learned are as follows: For some time
past there has been considerable feeling
between the Taylor brothers, who are
cattle men, and Horace Crawford, a
sheep man. The men met Saturday
evening on the Lame Johnney range and
TAYLOR stopped Crawford and demanded
that he take his sheep off the the range.
This Crawford refused to do, whereupon
Taylor called to his companion to get
him q gun, at the same time holding
Crawford's horse by the bride. Craw-
ford then shot at Taylor, the first shot
missing him, but hitting him the second
time and mortally wounding him. Craw-
ford Immediately went to Buffalo Gap
and gave himself up and was taken to
Custer, the county seat. Crawford
says he did not intend to kill the man
but shot at his hand that he might
make his escape from him. By telephone
last evening 1T al learned that Craw-
ford had not been lncarcerated but was
allowed to go upon his own recognlzapce
Taylor was buried Sunday afternoon,

THE COMING WOMAN.

There is surely nothing more ridiculous
and more stupid, in the minds and eyes
OF sensible people, than to see the writ
ing and mock pictures in our sporting
and similar literature, representing to
the people women under equal suffrage.
These pictures and writing show more
stupidity than wit or real common sense
in regard to the advancement of women.
i we study the progress Of woman. we
find she has progressed az well as man,
and we see that in all civilized NATIONS
Woman has ALWAYS worked for her own
advancement. the same as man for s
higher stage Of life. This is seen in the
early days Of civilization, and has 40
advanced with the progress of tune
that one generation has been wiser than
the past generation, and true wisdom
and learning have demanded more recop-
milton and honor than before. This
progress and advancement we see not
alone il mankind but alsoin animal and
vegetable lite. that gets moro progressive
and more noble, to the benefit 81 the
human race.
Consider woman IN early ages, anon

the Israelites. Woman has always had
certain rights that always have been REQ

ognized and honored. and particularly
the name OF mother has always been
vsnerated from age to age. No name
has had more inspiration to the philos-
opher and poet than the name OF mother.
Moses, the great lawgiver, says. Honor
thy father and thy mother: He shows
in this we should have equal honor and
respect for both. And If we examine
the history Of the Israelltes we will see
that woman was an important person
N all households. Come now to an age
of higher civilization, what is called the
Homerlc age, we see woman making the
greatest advancement, and the highest
honor was shown her, particularly in
the name of wife, mother, and sister.
We are now Lying in the most progress
siye age, and all things require a change
for the better. So, as man requires
more recognition in all positions OF life,
woman also demands equal rights with
man. This is perfectly natural; if not,
she would only dishonor the name OF

AN OBJECT LESSON

AN OBJECT LESSON.
The late investigation into thefinances
81 the city, and the discoveries there
made, present an object lesson both to
the city officials and to the young men
Of the community. The officials here
see how careless they have heretofore
been in allowing the business to be run
SO loosely, and how much they are to
blame for presenting the temptation to
those who are in a position to take adj
vantage OF this haphazard way OF CON
Quoting public business, should they feel
SO disposed. It is a question whether
the city council IS not as much to blame
for the shortages found as those who
have either willfufly or carelessly brought
about t%heconditions found by this lnves-
tigation, because OF their allowing SO
much latitude to these officials who have
charge of the city accounts. The audit
or's and treasurer's books should be
regularly compared by the finance com
mittee. or some other appointed for that
purpose, and reported to the council.
In the future this will no doubt be at
tended to. and this little experience may
prove q valuable one to the city.
To the young men OF the community
we would say, look upon the results in
this case and learn from it a valuable
lesson. Look at itfrom either the stand
point of carelessness and mistake or
Intentional fraud, and the result is a
misfortune to HIM who was IN charge of
the books and in whom the public had
placed a trust. 1t should impress them
with the Importance of thoIoughness
and accuracy In all business transac-
tions, for no matter hew innocent they
may be, when a difficulty OF this kind
arises they are permanently injured, the
public wlaD ALWAYS have doubts of their
honesty, and ahgss their chances Tor fu-
ture poesI1Dalts are greatly injured. And
above aAlr ut s9b81ad impress itself upon

pays to yield to the smallest tempta-
hon. Tor b sure your sins will find you

you are in the current which is rapidly

MOdesty.

baltimore. July l.--John e. Hurst.
senior member Of the big dry goods
firm OF Hurst. Purnell and company.
was this afternoon nominated for gov
ernor by the Democratic state conven-
tion on the first ballot. Senator Cor
pan and I. Freeman Rasin thereby
scored decisive victory over their op-
ponents. the Cleveland Democrats.
The surprise of the convention was
the almost total desertion OF the reas-
sessment advocate. State Senator
Thomas @. Hayes. He received but
two votes on the roll call. A stormy
scene Is said to have taken place be-
tween Mr.. Hayes and Senator German
just before the convention met which
undoubtedly accounts for Mr.. Hayes
lack Of votes. 1t Is creditably stated
that Mr.. Hayes accused Mr.. German
Of base deceit and double dealing, and
ended up his TRADE by charging the
senior senator with having sold him
out.
The platform adopted by the con-
vention contains q strong Endorsement
Of both the national Rhd state admin
istrations, reaffirms the Democratic ma
tional platform Of 1892: favors reas-
sessment Of all the property In the
state, and says the best tarin law the
country has had in thirty-five years
Is restoring confidence and renewing
prosperity In all branches OF industry.
There was no allusion whatever In
the platform to Senator German. 1t
was stated this was his desire. and he
gave as a reason. that his course at
Washington was not an issue In this
cmpaign. The platform was unani-
mOusly adopted.

force Japan to evacuate the peninsula
OF Lao Tung without waiting for the

among particular friends OF Japan with
incredulity.
A gentleman who is perfectly fami-

this morning: TT is fatally poor d.
piomacy, for if Russia crowds Japan in
the manner indicated. the latter can do
nothing less than fight. She cannot
honorably yield ito such demand, and
must prefer to go down fighting rather
than to be disgraced. Such policy on
Russia's part means the investment Of
Japan by an overwhelming naval force
and the presence Of an army Of at
least 100000 men. Is 1t probable that
she can be contemplating such an ex-
pensive course? / do not believe that
France and Germany have united with
Russia in the demand as Indicated.
