BIIMISGHAN, Ala, july 3l.-The min.
ing town of Brookside, fifteen miles west
of here, is in n state of panic over a race
riot resulting in the death Of two deputy
sheriffs and q number OF negroes. The
fight, which lastei for over an hour, was
between an organized band OF white
miners, headed by Deputy Sheriffs A. I.
Wood and Joel Baxter, who were trying
to arrest Jim Biggers, a negro, and a
crowd OF the latter's friends. Over lot
shots were fired. Mine Boss Culverhouse,
OF the Sloss Iron and Steel company, dis
charged Biggcrs for n violation of the
mine rules. Bigyers remained about the
place making threats. he refused to leave
the company's premises. and a warrant
was sworn out for his arrest for trespass-
ing.

The town of Brookside is in state of
great excitement, every man in town be-
ing armed. Shooting was kept up at in
tervals for two hours or more. Late at
night word reached here from the tele-
graph operator at Brookside, who is
locked in his Office, that an attack by the
negroes is feared. When the first news

Drpu.y Woods, who was killed, was ex-

that the arrival OF the force of officers
from this city Will restore quiet, and that
no further demonstration will be mad @
by the negroes. Trouble between the
white and black miners employed at the
mines has been brewing for some time.
There has always been ill-fceling between
the two races, and it needed but the first

THEODORE ROOsEvELrs VIEW.
What He Thinks Of Jackson's Hole and
the Il .nnOck Indians.


NEW YORK, July sl.-In speaking of
the Bannock Indian trouble President
Roosevelt, of the police commissioners,
said that the worst calamity that could
betall an Indian was to allow him to kill
game. Speaking from wide experience
Roosevelt said the Indians salvation lies
in his becoming civiliz,l, and conse-
quently he should be kept from wild
sports as much as possible. Roosevelt
said that the Banncck Indians generally
were considered friendly tribe, and not
by any means bad Indians" such as
the Sioux and Arapahocs. They are very
brave and will fight like fends when
corncred.
According to the commissioner they
have n great desire for fame, but the only
fame they understand is to be gained by
gathering scalps and stealing horses
Roosevelt was out in Jackson's Hole in
1891 and mixed n great deal with the Ban.
nocks and the Shoshoncs. He says there
has always been more or less friction be-
tween the settlers and the Indians over
the shooting of elk. The Indians, he
says, have the right to shoot game under
their treaty, but the state law forbids the
killing of game, and this Is where the
trouble begins. Tho Indians slaughter
the game in wholesale manner. They
surround herd of elk Or cattle and will
kill every one in sight.
Roosevelt explained that the outlawei
bucks are the greatest danger threaten
ing the western settlers. These are
young Indians ranging from II to -
years old, whose fathers declare they will
not DO responsible for their acts. When
hunting game. Roosevelt says, they
strctch out in line and use n peculiar
whistle to lure the elk within range. They
then surround the frightened animals.
and after closing in on them butcher
them by hundreds. Tho commissioner
said that game abounds in Idaho. Even
rs latc as his visit to Jackson's Hole he
had seen elk In such tremendous herds
that their antlers resembled forest Of
bones

How rs IL DoneG

A rather remarkable literary
combination has been brought to
the attention of the reading public
by a great New York publishing
house. 1t consists in this: Such
standard works as Balzac's "Hu-
man Comedy" in three superb vol
umes and bound in best English
Cloth, are delivered at subscribers
residence on payment of $100.
Besides this, that brightest and
pleasantest Of illustrated journals,
ONCE WEEK is regularly mailed
regularly to subscribers address.
Every month fifty cents is collected
at the subscribers residence or
place of business, until the total
amount, $500, is paid in full.
The three volumes mentioned are
easily worth $500, and are far
superior to the average three vol
umes sold for $500 cash. Bnt the
subscriber may choose from list
of more than twenty standard
works, all cloth bound and fit for
any library.
The list includes the works of
Scott, Milton, Dante, Byron, Moore,
Gerald, Griffin, Dean Swift, Garlic
ton, Banim, Oliver Goldsmith, Ger
vantes' "Don Quixote," Levers
Handy Andy" and number of
other choice volumes, all in best
English Cloth.
In the case of Milton, Dante and
few others the publisher has turn
ed out some striking and highly
ornamental centre-table volumes.
How the publisher makes such
terms to the reader, especially in
view of the high quality of ONCE A
WEEK, that is among our most ex-
cellent exchanges-this is some
thing to be explained only on the
theory of very large subscription
list.

annual subscription payable on

There have been great many
rumors about what is going to be

but as yet there is nothing definite

The latest report is that large con-

tunnel will be thoroughly overhaul

dition. Also that large number
of men will be put to work soon to

probably be erected in Sutro at no

A Terrible Yisftant.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and often
domiciles itself with one for life. This intiic-
ton is preventible, in cases of rheumatism. by
a timely resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which checks the encroachments of this obsti'
nate and dangerous malady at the outset. The
term dangerous" is used advisedly. for rheu-
matism is always liable to attack the vital or
gans and terminate life. No testimony is more
conclusive and concurrent than that of physic-
ians who testify to the excellent effect OF the
Bitters in this disease. Persons incur a wet
ting in rainy or snowy weather. and who are
exposed to draughts, should use the Bitters as
a preventive of Ill effects. Malaria, dyspepsia.

that there is no restitution; and

The sick, destitute and feeble
are calling for aid; their scanty

ish them. Meanwhile the time for
planting is passing swiftly, but
these people have no seed, and
without seed hope is gone! Their
need for provisions to tide over the
weeks between the present time and
the coming harvest is very great;
yet SO imperative is the necessity
for supply of seed for their crops,
and feed for their teams while cul-

are almost lost sight of in the
anxiety to provide for future sus-
tenance.
Kind friends aid us to supply
seed while yet there is time That
they may harvest, and provide for
the coming Winter. Or terrible
restitution and suffering, will again
prevail throughout our land.
