The fakir was agreed, and the old

Drove out the MOrmOns.

SAVANNAH, GA, Dec. "a special to
the News from Live Oak, Fla, says:
This afternoon Live Oak was very much
excited by the presence in her streets Of
an armed crowd of men, $50 strong. Their
object, it was discovered, was to drive
out the Normons from Suwannee Coun-
ty. These Mormons have been the source
of good deal of trouble for several
months, and have been repeatedly in
structed to leave, but had not done so.
The honest yeomaury OF the county took
the matter into their own hands to-day
and put the last one of them on the train.
The elders were rather roughly handled
by the mob. The names of the Mormons
are w. G. Fisher, J. A. West, J. w.
Musser and T. L. Warsden. These men
have been preaching their doctrines in
Suwannee County for two months. They
have been very successful among the wo-
men and have broken up several families.
Finally indignation became 80 intense
that mob was formed and the action no.
ted above taken. The action of the mob is
generally endorsed. Considering the cir
stances everything was done very quietly.

Fitch stumping for MCKINLEY

Tom Fitch, who has for years preached
the doctrine of free coinage of silver, is in
the Middle States stumping for Mckinley.
Four Years ago he wrote novel, in which
he depicted ali the misery and woe which
has befallen man under the rule of gold.
There IS every reason to believe that Fitch is
not sincere in his present position; in fact,
ne is rarely sincere in anything. His elo.
quence is for hire. He has been a resident
OF every state in the West in his peregriua.
tions for Office. He was a candidate for
senator in Utah, when, years ago, the ex.
pectation was that it would be admitted
into the Union as the State of Deseret. He
then took up his home in Nevada, where he
became member of the National Silver
party, and as a committeeman he called
silver convention in this State. He ran
for the Senate and succeeded in becoming
Congressman. California was the next
scene OF bis endeavor to reach Washington.
and now we find him in Arizona waiting for
statehood aud senatorship. The fewer we
have Of such public men the brighter will be
our future prospects. ts.-Ogden Standard.

A Fine Showing.

Silver State: Silver City, Idaho, is one
Of the mining towns on the coast where the
people believe in giving substantial aid to
the cause in which they are so yitally inter-
ested. Last week grand ball was given
there for the benefit of the national silver
fund and 5000 was cleared. Not
content with this showing committee of
miners has eanvassed the town for sub
scriptions. Nearly every working miner in
the camp donated days wages, and close
on to $1,000 will be raised in this manner.
Would that there were more Silver Cities in
this country TO neutralize the potent infu.
