DIED AS HE LIVED,
CHEROKEE BILL AS INDIFFER ENT TO THE WORLD ON THE SCAFFOLD
 AS BEFORE.
With Smile on His Lips He Re marked, This is a Fine
 Day to Die.'

x IFoKr SMITH, March It. Cherokee Bill'' died as he lived, with an ap- parent utter disregard for death. He had Il smile upon his face and pleasant greetings for familiar faces in the large crowd that had ga athered to witness lis execution. He coolly stood upon the gallows and waited the end. The drop fell at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon, and precisely ten minutes later he was pronounced dead. The hour had been set for ll:30, but at the request of Cherokee Bills mother it was postponed that he might see his sister who was ex- pected from Fort Gibson. He slept well last night and rose at 6, whist ling merrily as he dressed himself for his last hours OR earth. Members of the press and other privilcged per- sons crowded around the jail corri- dors during the day but the doomed man paid little heed to them, spend AhEs llt' ttiiiC Nttti HIS fiiOtlitI uHu dil old negro woman who knew him from childhood. After an affection afe leave taking of his mother short ly before o'clock he remarked that he was ready to go at any time. The jail was cleared and five minutes later the side door opened and he was brought forth handcuffed and shaekled when he remarked: "Fhis is a pretty good day to die,' look ing at the sky. On the scaffold he was quite serene and while he did not make an address he chatted pleasantly and as the black cap was drawn over his head remark ed: ''The quicker its over with the better it is.' These were his last words. Jail Guard Golf sprung the trap and Bills neck was broken by the fall. There was nota sign of 8 struggle, the heart ceased to beat ih ten min utes and he was lowered into his coffin. The remains were taken to Fort Gibson on the K. and A. V. train at 3.30 o'clock.

WHAT THE COTTON BELT SHOPS HAVE DONE FOR OUR
 TOWN.
The Officials of the Road Have More Than Carried Out Their 0bli-
 gations to Our Peo.

That the addition ef the ear de partmcnt to the shops of the St. Louis Southwestern railroad has been q great blessing to our town there is no question. for these shops are the very life Of the town.
 When our people were asked to subscribe a small bonus to aid the railroad to build this important in- dastrial enterprise there were q few 'eroakeran here who declared that the enterprise would not benefit our town. but on the other hand the railroad company would receive the 9iily benefit. This has been proven to be absolutely untrue, for the new shops have given steady employment to large number of workmcn who earn good wages, and these wages are spent month after month with our business men; and now, even at this early day, we venture the asser- tion without fear of contradiction. that there is not a subscriber to the fund in the city who has not already been more than repaid by his invest ment.
 When the proposition to put in lie car department was made to the citizens, the officials Of the railroad agreed to expend two dol- lars for every one dollar subscribed by our people, and the following letter from General Superintendent J. A. Edson to the Commissioners ill charge Of the bonus fund. shows that this obligation has been more than carried out, and that the end has not come:
 TYLER, Texas, March F, 1896. To Massrs. John 0'Gonnell, ]. B. Truloel and
 Capt. s. Geisreitsr, members of Commit-
 tee for shop building. Pine Bluff.
 Gentlemen:-In looking over the figures today of expenditures made necessary by the new shop building, l find that during the past three years, ending with January, 1896, the expenditures amounted to $50, 1852. 93. The obligation of Mr. Doddridge, then General Manager. was that he companv would spend, in three years, two dollars for every dollar put up by h., people. The exact amount that was put up have not before me. My recollection is, however, that it was in the neighborhood of $23,000. You will see thateven more was spent than the obligation, and still we have not got through.
 Yours truly,

 Gen. Supt.

4 NEW SUPERSTITION.
Proposed by Fife Ellsler's Agent There Appears to Be Some
 thing in It.

H. A. Darcy. who is in the city in the interest of Fife Eilsler, is a poet. playwright and propounder ofideas He has invented new superstition, which, if unreasonable. is at least an interesting study. He argues that alliteration In names is lucky and offers examples in stage life to bear out his theory. He says:
 "Qnite 8 number of years ago l noticed the large percentage of the atrieal names, the initials of which eorresponded. It occurred to me that most of the names were assumed ones, and adopted in the interest ol euphony, but l found that this was not so; then I discovered beyond doubt that alhCeration was a lucky quantity.
 Fife Ellsler who plays Juliet and in the balcony scene voices one of Shakespeare's most famous axioms. Miss Capulet is awfully gone on young Montague and be- moaning the fact that his name is objectionable to her family, says that 'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet The young lady may be correct, but she has no more proof to back up her assertion than have to the contrary.

the Hulseys went to Edmonson
 County to look after their interst,
 and returned last Saturday, having satisfied himself that their title was complete. While there a tavern keeper near the land advised him to
 take no less than $50, 900 for their interest, saying that he thought it
 worth that much at least. Mr. Pey- ton wanted to appoint time for meeting with the heirs, and yester- day was the day set. The Hulseys employed Judge Eli H. Brown as their attorney, and the meeting was held in his office. The matter was given considerable discussion. and investigation, and MT. Peyton asked that price be set on the property. Again no agreement could be reached, and 1t was finally decided that Judge Brown should go to the place and gain some idea of the value of the property, and then fair price could be set on it.
 He will probably go next week.
 Fabulous tales have been set afoat regarding the wonders of the newly discovered cave, which has been named 'sThe Colossal Cave, and is attracting much interest. One report is that there is large passageway that is seventy miles in length. That it is only few miles from the Mammoth Cave, and many people believe that Q passage way exist between the two. Both syndicates have investigated the land for resort and place of in terest, and both are very anxious to gain possession of a clear title to the one third interest of the Hull sey heirs.
 The Hulsey heirs are all farming people and work hard for a living. They are much elated at their un- good fortune ia coming in of the land, and the probability of there being a large fortune in stors for each of them. Judge Brown has been given charge of their interest, and will soon be in position to report to them the ex- tent of tbeir fortune.

 Some lucky partnerships:-Ha rigan < Hart, Henderson < Hanley Harrigan & Hanley, Barnum X Baily, Hallen & Hart, Murray < Murphy, Murphy x Mack, Booth X Barrett, who, though great actors. were signally unfortunate until associated, when they made the most collossal fortune known to the profession. Russell X Rosenquest, during their partnership made $100,- 900 and lost the same after they separated. Halvin, Hagan & Hut ton, managers of theaters in St. Louis and Chicago, may date the commencement of their collective fortunes to the day they became as- soeiated in management.
 It may occur to the reader that being a theatrical man am taking all the value of this charm to my own profession. Notat all It may betraced in the history of the world Was it fate or design that Mahomet was born in Mecca and buried in Medina; or that Wellesley, Lord Wellington won Waterloo; that famous battle was fought on Fri day, the unlucky day for all fatal ists. Had Butcher been arrayed on the side of Bonaparte, the issue might have been reversed. When a man takes uparms against a govern ment, if he fails, he is rebel; if successful, he is q patriot. No man ever took so great a risk with re suits on his side as General Gus eppi Garabaldi. Hateful Friday was again arrayed against the charm Of aliiteratiom when Christopher Columbus discovered this country.
 Nor is alliteration the only ex- ample which eOntroverts the argu- ment that there is noting in the name. 1t is only a few years ago that someone discovered the fact that to name ship after a city was unlucky, viz. "City of Boston, " "Ville de Paris" etc., aud the N. Y Herald published a list of notable wrecKs at sea which, going back for 1T about hundred years, gave the names of illfated vessels thus named. The number was Srightful to contemplate. All the vessels of the famous Inman Line were re- christened.
 No, Miss Rosalind, your great love suggest an argument which is very doubtful 5sttss::ill !, fer one, believe that there is much in a name and rejoice in the fact that my clever star is named Fife Ellsler.
