News: The cry of hard times is not heard

OF a library association. A nice library
has already been gotten up, which will
be constantly added to. Pleasant enter

ers Of the county, too, have their insti-

here of a cold-blooded murder, committed
on the Mckenzie place. in Dooly county
last Saturday night. Rena Prator, a ne

made Mills very mad, and last Saturday
he severely whipped the Prator woman.
Becoming afraid of further violence. she
sent for her brothers, who live near by
for protection. Her brothers came, but at
nightfall left for their homes after barr
ing the doors and windows of the woman's
house. Mills. who disappeared during the
afternoon, reappeared that night, and af-
ter stealing a gun and about IS in money
from Sanford Wilson, a farmer living
about one mile distant, returned TO the
house of his paramour and being refused
admittance, went to side window
and placing the muzzle of the gun in a
hole, took aim and fired at the woman in
bed The bed was only a few feet from
the window, and the whole load took ef-
feet in the rear of the womans head, COM
pletely tearing the upper part of the skull
TO pieces. Two little children of the muir

too small TO give the alarm, and remained
the whole night locked in the house with
the corpse of their mother. The murderer
made good his escape, and was traced to
the river bridge. From last accounts the
whereabouts of the negro was still un-
known.

THE CHINESE DOCTOR.
His Method of Treatment Was Heroic
But Decidedly Effective.

From the Pfttsburg Dispatch.
'When I was acting as consul at Annoy,
China" says a wen known diplomatist,
zone of my employees fell sick with an at
tack of rheumatism. He stood the pain
bravely for three days, refusing all for
eign devil medicine and on the fourth
sent for a native physician. The latter ar
rived, and began preparations for the
treatment of the malady, which he an
nounced to be due to the presence of
darling snake in the sufferers body.
Incense sticks were lighted and placed
just outside the door, and also inside the
room. A pack of firecrackers was set off
and a tahsmanic paper pasted TO the wall
and attract good ones The doctor next
wrote a lot of characters on a thick piece
of paper with a vermflion pencil and set
fire to it, 1t burnt into black ash, which
was broken into cup of water and drunk
by the patient. great bowl of herb tea
was made, of which cup an hour was
the allotted dose.
1.-The son of Esculapius next barred the
into 1t at nine points a long needle moist
ened with peppermint. He did 1t with such
skill in avoiding large blood vessels that
the hemorrhage was insignificant. He
afterward covered it with a brownish
paste, and this in turn with a piece of
brown paper. He then collected his fee,
equal to Is Sd, and departed.
THE sufferer soon fell into a deep sleep,
and next day announced that his pains
had departed. He remained in his bunk
two more days, laughing, chatting, smok-
ing cigarettes, and once or twice using the
opium pipe and then reported as being
well. He LEFT the paper and paste in place
until they fell off The skin was smooth,
and the scar hardly preceptible. He took
only comment being that the darling
snake was Thoroughly dead"

QUICK WORK WITH n RAYS.
Mr. Edison Succeeds in Making Pic
lures With Seven Seconds Expo
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Orange, Feb. 14.-As a result of the
experiments which Thomas A. Edison has
been making with tubes to produce the
Roentgen rays, he announced tonight that
within twenty-four hours he expected to
have so far perfected his tubes as to be
able to make snapshot photographs
through any substance of medium thick
ness except steel or iron.
Mr.. Edison succeeded to-day in getting
clearly defined images of strips of various
metals on sensitized plate in seven sec
onds, the rays having penetrated a heavy
piece of cardboard and a vulcanzed plate
holder in getting to the plate Mr.. Edison
tried to-day to send the X rays over
telephone wire, but the trial was unsuc-
oessful, as have been all other experiments
made by him to reflect or to concentrate
the mysterious vibrations.
"Roentgen's theories seem to be correct
in every particular" said Mr.. Edison, land
really in the ether, that he has discovered
new force or energy belonging in the
same category with light, heat and cleo
trtcity. As matter of fact all matter
is tuned to certain vibration, and any
force containing the same vibrations af-
particular key. The attempts to antici-
pate results with these rays have develop
ed some absurd and ridiculous SUCCESS
tions, but that Roentgens discovery opens
the way to wonderful insights into ma
lures secrets is true. Notwithstanding.
He said tonight that he was ready to
attempt his experiment of photographing
a human brain, and after he had done
that he would stop his experiments and
leave further developments for others
Mr.. Edison denied that he intended to try
any experiments in the line of tempering
metals with the rays, at least at present

From the New York Sun.
Chicago, Feb. 14.-What is believed to

United States as a direct result Of the
revelations Of Roentgen's rays, was per-
formed last night in ward c of the Mercy

moving buck-shot encysted between the
bones Of the third and fourth fingers and
about an inch and a half back from the
knuckles. The operation was performed
by DR.. James BURY, assisted by DIR. ]. S.
Rankin and DIR. j. l. Miller. The subject
was Louis Burkhardt His hand was
photographed" Tuesday; A buckshOt
was discovered and Burkhardt assented
to an operation. when the Anaesthetic
had produced the desired effect, DR.. BURY
made an incisiOn about an inch long,
and his knife struck the bullet at the ex-
act point indicated by the bromide print
taken from the Roentgen plate. The en-
cysted missile was extracted without, diff
dculty.

Further Particulars of the Awful Fall of
Phillip S. Abbott.

Calgary, N. W. IT., August 7.-Further
particulars of Mondays tragedy at the
canadian National park, when Phillip
D Abbott. lost his life by falling over o
preoipice. were received here yesterday.
Mr. Abobtb and three other American
tourists left their hotel at Banf on Mon
Gay morning, fully equipped for long
Day mountain climbing. They drove to
Lake Louise beautiful resort among the
Peak OF the Rockies, about 16 miles from
Banff.
Taking rope and other necessary equip
ments they started early in the day to
climb ono of the highest peaks in the
neighborhood. They reached @ point
about 1000 feet above the level when fur
bner ascent becoming dangerous the four
aaventurers tied themselves together
with ropes
IEey climbed another 1000 feet until
eney arrived at o difficult spot which it
WAS impossible for the four to climb to-
gesher. The rope was therefore united
ana Abbott being the best climber, vol
unteered to lead the way.
All went well with him for few Yards
as he cautiously picked his way inch by
inoh up the steep and painless declivity
AT last reaching upward to what ap-
peared to be solid boulder he grasped Ii
with both hands and had almost succeed
ed In pulling himself up when the rotten
boulder gave way and with cry of hor-

fell into the abyss below.

found Abbott still breathing but unable
to speak. AS 1t was impossible to Garry

party was compelled to leave the body

| On Contrary Says mckinley Will Carry
State By Over aOo,OoO-says He Wa.
Onoted wrongly To Bear the Market.
Philadelphia, August 7.-The Evening
Telegraph publishes an interview with
ex-Seoretary Whitney, obtained by q
correspondent and wired from New
York In the interview Mr.. Whitney
expresses the belief that Mckinley will
carry New York state by aO0 900 najori-
| ty. The interview follows:
SIS it true, MIR. Whitney, that you
class New York state as doubtful?'
''True, sir? There Is not a word of
truth in it. 1t Is not only false, but ab-
solutely false"
"Was their statement circulated with
the object Of placing you in comprom-
isipg position and for mercenary pur-
pose?"
''These people have no object and no
power to effect any compromise In my
opinion. Unfortunately, perhaps, I am
regarded as leader of the sound money
movement in the Dem ooratic party, and
good many people, whether wisely or
not, attach Importance to my utteranoes
and when it is alleged that yield New
Y York to the silver people, they regard
the situation of sound money as perilous.
knowing this to be the effect Of what
such statement from me on the subject
would be, the bear element, which has
been raiding stocks for a long time, and
which wants some new argument to fur
ther depress, has most unwarrantbly
seized upon my name and rascally at
tributed this declaration to me- 1t is
false, wholly false
Then you do not give up the state?"
"What, give up the state of New York
on an issue which means repudiation?
n aver. There is nothing, absolutely
ing an inch OF their ground. On the
contrary, you may express it as my firm
conviction that Mr.. Mckinley will
carry this state by fully 90 0000 majority.
In that majority You will find men OF
all classes who put patriotism over par
tisanship on an issue of this kind. l
have no hesitation III expressing this be-
lief. 1t comes from what have seem,
what / have hard, what | have fnvestl-
gated and what know. People who
understand me, would not for an instant
accept as true any such statement as that
attributed to. me today. There are thous-
ands who do not know me who would
readily accept any such report, and
that is all the bears want. To start q
break 1t is only necessary to cause a
fright.
"You have never given up New York;"
Never. When the Chicago convention
turned deaf ears to the Empire State
delegation, New York was lost 80 the
nominees it selected. From that day the
native honesty of our people has been
steadily asserting itself, in antagonism
to the vicious silver heresy. You may
say for me, If l have any utteranoe to
make on the STATUS Of the present nat
ional contest it will not be by a vague
report, coming from manoeuvering
clique of brokers trying to ruin credits
and the public may as we'll take this
as a hint towards the truth now.''
