Mrs. L. E. Bailey's lecture on
Home or Saloon, which : was
listened to and greatly appreci-
ated by :. full house at Lost
Creek, May 21st 1t was a great
privilege to make the acquaint.
ance Of so talented speaker,
one which the people of such a
small town as Lost Creek seldom
enjoy free of charge.
On the afternoon of May I'D,
Mrs. Bailey invited the ladies TO
meet her for a parlor conversa-
tional at Mrs. Mollie Davis. Only
few were present, but we felt
grateful, indeed, for the chance
of spending an hour with her,
and for the instruction and adj
vice given in regard to w. g. T
U. work. Our only regret was,
that all the ladies in the town
were not present. We could but
ask our selves over and over
again, why is it that women who
claim to be 10 favor of temper
ance. can bar themselves from
all opportunities to join the W.
@. T. U. or even to learn of its
work ? Can we be living right
lives in the sight of God aud not
be doing all we can to aid in
temperance work /? Below is an
account of horror, the like of
which are happening daily in our
land because of the drink curse.
Ladies, ask yourselves as you
read them, were these taking
place in my home, would | not
cry out for help to every temp
erance sister in the land ? And
in the name OF all that is just and
right would you not expect that
they weuld help you? Oh, sis
tiers, do not say. II cannot do
anything. l have no influence,
| cannot afford even sixty cents
a year for temperance; | am so
isolated, cannot work in the W.

a bed.ridden invalid, pin on the
white ribbon and pledge yourself
for God and Home and native
land. Come join our ranks,
come. come, come, one, come all!

AN OLD FEUD
Shape of Shooting Afair-One Man Hit Three Times.

Tite Parvin was brought to the city yes- terday and lodged in the county jail by Deputy Sheriffs Cole and Burgin on a charge of murder.
 It is said that Parvin shot J. 0. Dorman last Saturday night out near Smiths mill, E, some twenty miles north of Birmingham. |. Two balls took effect, one striking Dorman in the body and one on the leg. The wounds proved fatal, Dorman dying shortly after being shot.
 The shooting took place at Hopewell church, near Smiths mill, Saturday night, and Tite Parvin, Bill Parvin and Van Parvin are said to have been impli- cated in the difficulty with Dorman.
 It is said feud between the Parvins and Dorman has existed for over year, and that by some accident they met at Hope- well church Saturday night and the quar- rel was renewed, with tue result above stated.
 Tite Parvin gave himself up to the con- stable of beat 32 before the deputy sheriffs got there, and it is understood that Bill and Van Parvin will come in and surren der to the officers.
 It is alleged that the feud originated over politics, the Parvins being organized dem- ocrats aud Dorman populite or Koibite.

STATE TREASURER TAYLOR

OF SOUTH DAKOTA GONE THE WAY OF
 MANY OTHERS AM IS MISSING.
 PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 9.-State Treasurer Taylor, who should have turned over his cash to his successor, failed to appear at his bank, the Redfeld National, which has closed it's doors. The last heard of Taylor he was in New York. On Saturday he should have had 1850 ,00O, and should have paid S300, 900 to take up funding warrants in New York.
 It has been known for some time that the treasurer was hard pressed. He was caught in the Chemical National bank failure at Chicago for large amount, and he lost $20, GOO in the bank at Milbank and S10, ,000 in that at Geldisburg, which failed during the panic. Altogether he lost S100, ,000.
 The Redfield National bank closed it's doors yesterday. The bank is in good con- dition, and it is thought will pay all it's debts. The banks at Pierre will not lose anything. If the dedication is as large as the bondsmen believe it will place the state in very embarrassing position. The limit of indebtedness has been passed largely. No warrants or bonds can be sold, and there is considerable deficiency in the revenue. Without this it would have been difficult problem to make both ends meet; now it is impossible.
 Taylor has always held high reputation as tinancier and man of integrity. The school fund may lose $50, ,O00.

A GOOD CAPTURE.
A Man Wanted for Murder in Chicago Caught in New Orleans.-His
 Identity Certain.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9.-One of Chi cago's worst criminals, and who is at pres- ent wanted in that city for a murder com mitted on last election day, was captured this morning at the Illinois Central depot by quartette of local detectives. At the time of his apprehension he. was in com pang with two other individuals, who are thought to be expert pickpockets.
 There is no doubt as to the identity of the criminal. While in the office of Chief of Detectives Malone, awaiting the open- ing of court, Captain Schuyler of the Chi cago police force walked in. He had been notified of the arrest by the detectives and came over to get a look at the crooks. When his big form loomed up in the door Sampson saw him and turned quickly and looked in an opposite direction. Captain eyes rested on him, though he did not see the face of the criminal. He pronounced him to be John Samp- son, alias 1.-The Msjor,'' fugitive murderer from Chicago. Captain Schuyler stated that on election day, Noyem Der 6, Sampson, together with q number of thieves, broke into an election booth at IF Oak street, and the crowd shot and in- stantly killed Gustave Coliander, an elec- tion judge, and shot and wounded clerk and policeman. sampson, ii is said took leading part in the affair, and is also &C., cused oi having fired the shoC which caused the death of Coliander. The latter held the ballot box, and when shot fell over it.
 Sampson escaped, and since that time he has led the police lively chase. Some of the members of the gang were arrested i, and Sampson was indicted by the grand jury of Cook county for murder. The city was searched high and low by detectives, but no trace of the famous criminal could be found.
 His description was seut out broadcast throughout the country, and a reward of $50O for his arrest and dete tion was of tered. Captain Schuyler states that Samp- son is one of the slickest all-round crimi- nals in the United States. He, states that he has known Sampson for the past fifteen years, and during that time he has ar- rested him number of times for different crooked transactions, Schuyler swore out an affidavit charging Sampson with being fugitive from Chicago, and notified the chief of police of that city of the mur- derer's arrest.
 It is said that Sampson was star witness in the Dr. Cronin murder case.

The Cotton Crop.

Yesterday the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington issued its August
report on the condition Of the cotton
crop, and il proved II most important
influence IN the cotton market. causing
an advance of 20 points in prices,
equivalent to 81 per bale. The report
was a complete surprise 10 :he specula.
tive element OF the trade, and demons.

of tho figures. The trade had generally
looked for a slight Improvement to be
shown by the percentage of condition
furnished By the Agricultural Depart
mcnt; whereas the report shows Il very
scrlous deterioration in the condition
of the crop, the percentage being 7.9,
as compared with 1928 last month and
9l,S last year. This average, the Agri.
cultural Depart ment says, is the lowest
for August on record, being 5 points
lower than average reported in Aug
nat, 1892. The lowering OF the pcrcen
tage OF condition is said to be due to
excessive moisture The report also
states there is much complaint of grass
and u little oil rust, blight, worms and
insect enemies Of the cotton plant.
