Out of Danger.


DR.. and Mrs. T. s. Bratton, who were
mentioned last week as being dangerous
ly i'll with diptheria at their home in
Niobrara, Nebraska, are out Of danger.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Bratton were treat
ed with the recently discovered anti
toxine remedy, and the information OF
relatives in Yorkville is to the effect that
relief followed almost Immediately.
They Are Registering. -,
School Commissioner Shurley's regis
tration of teachers during the month of
January progressed with entire satisfac-
ton. Upon being asked about the matter
few days ago, he said that fully 100, if
not more, teachers have either called at
his Office or sent in their names for regis
tration. 1t is Mr.. Shurley's purpose to
request the trustees not to employ as
teachers any except those that are duly
registered.
Worth Over Par.
Thirty-one and half shares Of Glover
cotton factory stock were sold at public
auction from the court house steps last
Monday. Twenty-Five and half shares
were sold by the executors of the estate Of
]. s Mckenzie, deceased, and the remain
ing six shares by the executor of the estate
of VIM. G. Shillinglaw, deceased. The
six shares sold for S6l0.5O, and Of the
balance, none was knocked down for less
than par. Some was sold for fraction
over lOl. The sale was bona fide, OF
course, and represented the true market
value of the stock.
Not According to Schomburgk.
Representative Elder was in Yorkville
on Monday, and conversed with the re-
porter in regards to the statement recently
made in THE ENQUIRER to the effect that
the line run by himself and Mr.. Miller
placed certain North Carolina citizens and
a North Carolina bridge in South Carolina.
He said it was Mr.. Lewis, instead OF Mr..
Jackson, who objected to being placed In
South Carolina, and he give as reason
that he did not like the politics OF this
State. "I explained to him." said Mr..
Elder. ''that we were not establishing
line; but if we were we would not try 70
bring in any but true blue Tillmanites."
Mr.. Elder went on to say that while the
trial survey went as was indicated in The
ENQUIRER, and that it missed the estab-
lished corner some two chains to the north.
This was perfectly legitimate occurrence
and was of course, rectified by calculation.
When asked about the area of the county
as indicated by the survey, he said that he
was not at liberty to give out any informa-
ton. He was employed by committee,
and information secured belonged to his

make right, if, in no other way, by might.
The issue is a plain one. There can be
be no mistrial. Either Cleveland or Til
man must be convicted, and although each
individual probably has his own opinion,
there are few, if any, with clear enough
foresight to certainly predict the verdict.

The papers that sought to criticise
Tillman's grammar could find nothing
worse than the little slip in the question
in which he asked Senator Hoar, (which
is the hardest money, silver or gold9"

have been Intentional.

A SECRET CAVERN.
Boys Stock q Cave With Guns, Ammuni-
ton and Dime Novels.

ton and Dime Novels.
A large cave in the banks of the ST.
Mary's river, near Decatur, Ind, was dis
covered a few days since, which is inhab-
tied by about 20 boys of tho city whose
ages range from 10 to 10 years. The cave
is said to be very large, well built and fur
nished in a rustic manner. In the cave
were found 10 small rifles, incased in
pockets" neatly arranged about the
walls, and several hundred rounds of car
tridges; also a large supply of novels Of
all kinds, mostly of the "Old Sleuth'' de-
teotive series, and a supply of provisions.
Just how the boys obtained the rifles
and ammunition is not known, but an in
vestigation will be made as soon as posi-
BILE. How long this house under the sod
has been built is not known, but from ap-
pearances it has been a rendezvous for
many winters. Neither are the objects Of
the present youthful inhabitants known,
as some of them have good homes.
They are evidently bound to secrecy by
solemn obligations, as they positively re-
fuse to tell anything of their life in the
cave. 1t would be almost impossible for
an old time Indian hunter to discover an
entrance to the cave, SO neatly is it ar
anged.-Cinoinnati Enquirer.

NO CAUSE FOB ALARM.
Japan Won't Steal Our Bicycle Trade just
at Present.

at Present.
I observe that the report that Japan
made bicycles are to be sold in the United
States for $12 has reached our congress
via San Francisco. A distinguished states
man from the west has expressed great
alarm over the threatened industrial in
Sasion.
: Notwithstanding the existence of this
wonderful. cheap and airy Japanese bicy-
Gle, wish to remark that every ship that
comes to the port of Yokohama from San
Francisco and Tacoma brings a consign-
ment of American built bicycles, W. l
are sold to foreigners of intelligence for
500 in gold-sometimes SIPS.
Now, if Japan can produce a bicycle
which can be sold in the United States for
$12, why is it that common sense people
living and riding here will persist in pay
Ing such high prices for foreign wheels?
This tells the story. Our distinguished
American representative in Washington is
unnecessarily alarmed.
One man in San Francisco, talking
through his ill adjusted headgear, as it
were, should not be permitted to disturb
the commercial adjustments of a whole
continent.-John A. Cockeri1 in New
York Herald.

The Shah of Persia.-The Shah of
Persia, Mashed Dino, was assassinated
May list on entering shrine for wor-
ship. He was shot by person disguised
as woman. The ball entered his heart
and he expired in few minutes. The
assassin was religious fanatic or a
revoutionist. The Shah is said to have
five sons and fifteen daughters. He was
born in 1929 and succeeded his father in
the government in 1S4S, so he has occu-
pied the throne for forty-eight years. He
visited Europe twice and is said, after
the first few years of his reign, to have
become humane and intelligent ruler.
His second son, Muzafer-eddine, has
been proclaimed Shah, who is forty-hve
years old. The eldest son, on account OF
his birth, is not eligible to the throne. He
holds high position in the army and is
governor of lspahan. Some apprehen-
sions have been felt lest he should
attempt to assume regal power.
