Our dear and good sisters in
the presentation of the nice suit
presented me some time since,
left off the finishing touch-so
thought Brother and Sister
Cunningham, and as they had
no part in the gift of the suit,
they ordered me around, as
though was theirs to obey, to
the store of H. F. Potts and
placed at my disposal the fine
line of hats. only with the under
standing that at their expense |
was to wear off the best in the
house. This comes not alone
from present friendship, but in
former years | knew Sister
Cunningham as the sweet, kind
and lovable daughter of my
ever to be remembered friend,

VOTERS WHILE YOU WAIT The Unearthing of a Clever Scheme at Chicago. CERTIFICATES BY THE BALE Bearing the Clerks Signature and Seal of the

 Prominent Republican, Put
 Under Arrest.
CERTIFICATES BY THE BALE
ALL READY FOR lssUANcETo FOREIGNERS

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Count Clerk Phillip Knopf was arrested this morning and taken before Judge Payne on charge of indorsing fraudulent registration certifi- cates The specific charge against Knopf is the issuance of over 2000 registrato ton certificates to miners without direct or der from a court of any recognized au- thority. The arrest caused great excite ment in political circles
 Knopf was placed under 5000 bond to appear before Judge Hoyne tomorrow morning and answer to the charge of malfeasanee in office. His arrest was made on an affidavit of Morris Cohen, who Is in charge of the naturalization matters for the democratic central com mittee. Fully 2O0O final certificates of naturalization in blank, bearing the clerks signature and the seal of the coun- ty court, are in the possession of the com mittee. No charge is made that these pa pers have been misused, but the oppor- tunity for making citizens without the usual formal.tieS of court procedure is ap- parent. These certificates were found ly- ing on desk in the county commission CTS office, where Judge Woods had been holding a court of naturalization. Knopf was arrested on an affidavit charging him with signing and sealing the certificates dated October S. 1896, and with being will fully and corruptly guilty of malfeasance in office.
 Knopf admits having signed and sealed the papers without an order from the court, but says it was done simply for conveniences sake, and that such action is common practice.
 Knopf has been prominent in republi- can politics for many years.

A Sensation Is Expected at the Meeting of the Popu|ist National Committee at
 Chicago Today

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Chairman Washburn of the Chicago headquarters of the pop ulist national committee, said today to reporter of the Southern Associated Press regarding the possible object of the na- tional executive committee meeting called by Chairman Butler for tomorrow in Chi- cago:
 "Senator Butler did not mention any special object for which the meeting was called, but expect something sensational will happen. You can put It down for certain, however, that nothing will be done in the way of removing MT. Watson from the ticket or asking him to do so. The executive committee has no power of removal; 1t can only call together the full national committee which has plenas ry power. =,
 "AlI the members of the committee will be here tomorrow except probably John s. Dore of Fresno, Cal, who may not be able to get here the first day on account of the brief notice and the distance from his home. The committee Is divided on the Watson question, and the course taken by Chairman Butler has also met with opposition within the committee. There Is talk that he wants vndication at the hands of the committee. l have been keeping a middle course, and mat ters may reach a climax at the committee meeting"

 Emmet Scales.

Whistler, Oct. 12.-(Special.)--Th death by suicide of Emmet Scales, aged 30 years, this evening cast a gloom over the town of Whistler, where he was known by everybody and highly esteemed by all classes.

 Two Misstatements.

|. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 12.-In statement given out this evening, A. R. Talbot, re- publican candidate for the state senate, and law partner of ". J. Bryan says: T see that it is stated in the press reports that l have 'bolted MT. Bryan, my law partner, now democratic candidate for the presidency. l have always been and am now republican, but no man has a greater admiration for Mr. Bryan than have His honesty, integrity and pa triotism cannot be questioned. I have not 'bolted MT. Bryan, and any state- ment to that effect is untrue.
 T wish also to add that the statement in the press of the country to- the effect that MT. Bryan misstated his financial relations to the defunct German National Bank of this city in his New London Conn.,, speech is without foundation and untrue. Mir. Bryan at the time of the failure of that bank was not indebted to 1t in any amount whatever and the bank held no note bearing his signature The indebtedness referred to in the dis patches was my own personal oblga- tion ''

JOHN AND WHITE AT ATHENS.
Their Speeches Were Peculiarly Effective.
 Much Enthusiasm Aroused.


 Athens, Oct. 12.-(Special.)-Co s. w. John and Capt Frank S. White ad- dressed large crowd in the court house here today on the political issues of the campaign. Both were able and eloquent and elicited applause and cheers and aroused deep interest and much enthus- iasm. Rarely ever have speeches here been more appropriate or effective, and if they could be heard everywhere in the state the gold bug would shrink into still more insignificance, and the lost, strug- gling populist would be found in the ranks of the free silver army fighting effectively for the heaven born cham pion of an imperiied people, William J. Bryan.
 Captain Whites appeal to all patriotic men of every state of opinon to come together in the great contest was beau tiful and pathetic, and the eyes of more than one strong man were filled with tears
 All division here is fast healing up un- der such efforts, together with the stand taken by Captain Kolb.

CALL FOR A SHOWING.
The Authorities of South Carolina Not Sats- sfed With That Seaboard Deal
 is Something Underground" "

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 12.-It now ap- pears that there is to be legal inquiry into the sale of the Seaboard Air Line.
 Attorney General Barber of South Carolina has addressed brief notes to Thomas F. Ryan and Gen. Samuel Thom- as, who have negotiated for the purchase of the system and who, last month, pur- chased the Port Royal and Augusta, and the Port Royal and Western Carolina, which form a continuous line from Port Royal to Greenville, s. C., via Augusta, Ga, to prove to the satisfaction of the special railroad board that they in mak- ing such purchase had no connection or understanding with the Southern Rail- way company. This special board con- sists of the railroad commissioners, the governor and the attorney-general. The state authorities of South Carolina ex- press the belief that there is something underground in the deal and they say they propose to use the power given by the new constitution to prevent what they regard as a gobble of these lines by the Southern. They fear that the bot ting up of the Port Royal is again con- templated and with it the violation of the state laws. provision was put in the constitution last year prohibiting the sale of any railroad line to a parallel or com- peting line or in the interest of such line or for other than legitimate business en- terprise.
 It also requires the purchasers to prove to the satisfaction of a special committee constituted as above stated that their purpose does not conflict with the let ter or the spirit of this provision.
 Governor Evans has been asked whether sworn statement of Messrs. Ryan and Thomas to the effect that they had not transgressed this provision would be considered satisfactory. He replied that 1t would not, in view of the developments in connection with the pur- chase of the Georgia Central. If the evil dence presented is not satisfactory, the state has power to annul the sale.

McClenny, Fla, Oct. 12.-The canvass ing board, consisting of Chairman Can ova of the county commissioners County Judge Howard and Supervisor of Regis tration Ruhl, met this morning to can vass the vote of Baker county from the. returns in the office of the county judge, as the returns sent to the supervisor were stolen when his office was broken open Thursday night.

NEGOTIATIONS AT AN END.
Democrats and Popniists in North Carolins
 Fail to Agree.

Raleigh, N. C., Oct 12.--The democratic central committee held very important meeting here this evening. One of the matters before it was the reply of the populist state chairman to the commit tees letter of last Friday, making inquiry whether arrangements could be made to elect free silver congressmen. The popu- list chairman, in reply. says he is anx- ious to see nine free silver congressman elected, but declares there is nothing tan gible in the democratic ehairman's letter which can be acted on. He adds that the conditions have changed since Senator Butler made the proposition last August for complete fusion.
