Mrs. ID. G. Scarborough and
several friends have returned from
a summer outing in and around
Denver.
Our esteemed friend, Mr.. S. j.
Henry, has had a mild attack of
the "slow fever" but we are glad
to see him getting out again.
Many people from this city at
tended the great meeting at
New Salem near Montgomery last
Sunday. They report the biggest
crowd ever seen in Il hill country,

thousand.
Miss Lillian Tets, of Robeline,

Editor Tets late of the Battle Flag,

Editor La. Populist:-Will give
you some news to show You that
Ward 2 is up to date. when it comes
to Judge Lynches court.
Late III the evening of Wednes-
day last the little II year old
daughter of Mr.. James Walker,
white, was sent by her mother to
return some meal to a neighbor.
She was overtaken at a lonely
place on the road by one Richard
Holmes, young negro, and most
cruelty assaulted. Upon being re-
laased by the ficnd the child hasten
ed to give the alarm. The whole
community turned out to run the
villain down, tn, search was con-
tinued until Friday morning, when
he was found on the Loskett Plan
tation on Red river, near East
Point, when after a desperate at
tempt to escape he was arrested
and brought back to the place
where he had committed the out
rage when he confessed the crime.
He was taken in charge by about
one hundred and fifty indignant
citizens who dealt out swift justice
by hanging him to a limb of a tree.
So you see Mr.. Editor ward 3
citizens are ready to defend their
wives and daughters without the
aid of the courts.

WHEAT SENSATION OF THE WEEK
Enormous Quantities Bought for
Foreign Export.

New York, Oct. PAR. q. Dun & Com
pany's Weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow
will say:
The event Of the week has been the SEN
sational advance of wheat to IS cents
for cash on Tuesday, a rise of five and
half cents, and its fall to n cents on
Thursday, gaining one and five-eighths
cents on Friday. The rise was magnified
by the covering of speculative sellers.
who imagined the advance had gone too
far, but was at the bottom based on an
extraordinary foreign demand, which has
engaged grain vessels from all Pacific
as well as Atlantic ports for months
ahead. How great the shortage in ordin-
airy European supplies may be Is the point
of doubt, but none now question that
shipments from the Pacific coast to In
dia and the decrease in Russia's yield are
important, and the buying Of enormous
quantities for export, with engagements
OF freight room at higher rates. express
the belief Of European dealers.
The buying of Bessemer pig iron at
Pittsburg causes a slight advance, and
markets are strong for pig. but not for
finished products. Low prices are made
for spot delivery by mills wanting work.
But the tone Of the market is better, and
a decided increase of orders appears In
plates, about 5000 tons for building YES
sells on the lakes and in structural work
at the west. owing to contracts taking at
Chicago for buildings at Boston, Tor
onto, Detroit and Minneapolis.
There is also good demand expected
for cars, and the association offers to
sell iron until November 6, to Jobbers
and large buyers. at 5000. while steel
bars are selling largely at one cent. A
reduction in nails Is expected, but the
rail season is over and the billet pool
has little business. A sale OF about s.
O0O,O0O pounds was made OF lake copper
at $3.50 to domestic consumers.
The failures for the week have beer
| 2O4, against 231 last year.

MAY GET THE LICENSE FEES BACK.
GIOuchester Fishermen Secure nm
Important Decision.

Boston, Oct. Pa special to the Jour
ral from Gloucester, Mass, says:
News has just been received here Of
an important decision by the supreme
court of Canada which may result In
the repayment of all license fees paid
by American fishermen since the abroga-
ton of the treaty of Washington for Ii
censes issued under the modus vivendi
The action was brought before the court
many years ago, for the purpose of de-
filming the relative rates, and settling
rival claims of the Canadian provinces
on the one hand and the dominion gov
eminent on the otner, and has resulted in
a victory for the former. The claim of
the provinces upon every point raised is
approved except that the dominion is
declared In control of harbors.
In the case of harbors the dominion
is declared to have the right Of controll-
ing it's fishing, but 1t has no power to
grant local lease In any part OF the
country.

|AT HIS ALMA MATER
BRYAN SPENDS SUNDAY AT JACK
sONyILI4E, ILL.
Campaign by an Address to
Students.

Jacksonville, ILL.,, Oct 25.-<t was a day
OF quiet and rest that william Jennings
Bryan spent In this city. where for six
years he prepared himself for his after
life. In the morning he attended services
a. the State street Presbyterian church,
and listened to q sermon by Rev. A. b.
Morris.
1t was probably the largest congrega-
ton that divine has addressed In that
edifice.
Long before the hour that the congre-
cation generally assembled the church
was crowded, and in front of the build
Ing many Of the citizens of jackson
vile waited for over an hour in order
to get glimpse at the former citizen.
When he did arrive there was general
craning Of necks, and one Of the admirers
OF his opponent cheered for Mckinley.
The sermon did not touch upon any of
the political issues, and barring the usual
prayer for the welfare of those in high
offices, no one would have known that
man OF national reputation helped to
make up the congregation.
After the sermon an informal recep-
ticn was held from the pew which Mr..
Bryan had occupied, and as soon as poss-
ible the nominee was taken out q side
door and put into a carrige and driven
rapidly away.
Mr. Bryan spent the day at the home
of DR.. Hiram J. Jones, where he lived
during his residence in this city. There
were few callers, but outside the house
a large crowd gathered and stared at
the few visitors who were admitted to
grasp the hand and exchange compliments
Of the day with the candidate.
Tomorrow Mr.. Bryan will address the
students Of the college in w-Ich he hao
studied.
At 10 o'clock those who desire to heal
him will assemble in the chapel. and hi
will speak to them for 20 minutes.
At o'clock tomorrow he addresses &
big mass meeting in the city park on thu
issues Of the day, He will depart TO
| Alton at 1870. arriving there at $780, ant
will put in a good share of the next fou
hours there expounding the free silve
| doctrine.
| At 1880 he leaves for Lincoln, arriving
| there Tuesday morning.

INTERVIEW WITH Mr. clex


Washington. Oct. al. B. Nelson o.
Seattle. formerly telegraph editor Of the
Post-Intelligencer. and George U. Piper
of Portland, Or. have been sightseeing
in and around Washington city during
the past week. They have already spent
about the same length OF time in Chicago.
Boston and New York, and will stop In
Baltimore. Philadelphia and other cast-
ern cities before returning to the Pacific
coast. Mr.. Nelson will take an editorial
position In New York city about Decem-
Der /.
The principal event OF the stay OF these
gentlemen in Washington was their visit
to the White house and brief but cx-
ceedingly pleasant and interesting chat
with President Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland said that he could hard
ly think a state which had so much at
stake as Washington would vote for fres
silver. Pennoyer was another topic
touched upon. Any reference to the gov
ernor who told him in so many words to
mind his own business always puts the
president in good humor.
Mr.. Nelson told the president he ought
to make a trip to the Pacific coast: that
the people out there had an idea he was
a great, big, fat, helpless man, instead OF
the robust and active Individual he really
was. The president laughed heartily. IT
suppose the cartoons of the republican
press are responsible for that" he said.
Still, / don't think they do much harm,
and If they give others as much pleasure
as they do me, it is ell right. should
really like to visit the Pacific north west.
and have long intended to do so at some
future day"

NEW posToFFIcEs IN THE NATcHEz
One Result of Representative Hyde,
Work.

Washington, Oct. "a. - Two oostoff1ces
on the Natchez river in Yakima county.
Washington, which are to be known as
Nile and Yreka, will soon be established
by the postmaster general. These are the
offices for which Representative Hyde has
been working so long, and at first With
out success, owing to the determination
of the department to establish no new
offices during the remainder of the year
than was absolutely unavoidable. The
object of this, of course, was to keep
down expenses so that the deficit In the
postoff1ce department should be as small
as possible making a good showing for
the management, and at the same time
depicting no more than absolutely neoes-
sary a constantly falling gold reserve.
The Importance of these two offices las
finally been shown to the satisfaction of
the department officials, and in due course
the settlers of that long neglected region
will have their mall brought TO them in
stead of heing forced to go 20 or rs miles
after 1t. The postmasters to be appoint
ed are Henry Sedge at Nile, and Charles
H. Barr at Yreka. The two offices Will be
the farthest up the Natchez valley.
An increase of mail service to six times
a week has just been ordered on the star
route from Ives to Methow, but the or
1ers will not take effect until November 2.

Fused ia 20 Others.

Chicago. Oct. 2.-The republicans have
straight electoral ticket in A of the
Is states, having effected fusion in one
Texas, with the middle f-the-road"
populists and goio standard democrats.
The democrats have a straight cleo
toral ticket in only Is of the states. hav-
ing effected fusion with the populists and
silver republicans in ~ of the others, a
conclusion not having yet been reached
in the remainder of the states. In some
cases the populists and silver republic
cans Endorsed the democratic ticket, but
i'll others concessions OF electors were
made for their support Of Bryan and Sc
wall. In two states, oregon and South
Dakota, the democrats Endorsed the pop
ulist electoral ticket.
Table of Tickets.
The following table shows the states
with the straight democratic electoral
ticket, and those in which a division Of
electors has been made. The figures
for North Carolina are those embraced
in the proposition of the populists to the
democrats, who. however, have not ac-
cepted their offer of division In that state,
but the populists, 1t Is understood, still
have hopes of effecting a fusion In North
Carolina.

A GREAT STREET RAILWAY TRUST.
VIII Control Systems In England
and Europe.

Cleveland, Oct. 25.-The purchase OF
street railway systems In Europe by an
international syndicate OF capitalists II
the greatest business enterprise now on
foot in the entire world. Some informa-
ton on the question has been obtained
from a gentleman who Is interested in
the success of the syndicate's opera
tons.
The Americans at the head Of the enter
prise are James Ross and a Mr.. Maclken-
zie of Montreal. Mr.. Ross Is immensely
wealthy, Is a director in the Bank OF
Montreal and heavily interested In the
Northern Pacific railway and Canadian
street railroads. 1t Is stated that with
him are a number of Americans on this
side Of the Canadian line who have be-
come wealthy as street railroad opera
| tors, also a number Of English, German
| and Dutch bankers, as well as the great
| house of Rothschilds. These gentlemen
| find the street railroads of Europe where
| those of America were 10 years ago. They
see abundant opportunity to make q
great deal Of money by bringing them
up to the present American standard.
They not only have the underground rail-
ways of London in view, but are pre-
pared to operate In Berlin, Paris and
other large European cities.
The syndicate has already gained pos
session of the street railways of Biz
mingham, Eng. and is operating them.
AS motive power. compressed air will
be used. Compressed air has been the
motive power on Paris railroad for the
last 15 years. but its complete success
was prevented by inability to obtain
reservoirs which would sustain for any
length of time the great air pressure
needed.
An American named Kellogg has In
vented seamless tube which will hold
air at a pressure OF 5000 pounds to the
square inch, and It was mainly this fact
that led to the formation of the syndi-
cate.
A company to make the tubing has been
formed in Boston, and the factory has
been in operation some time at Findlay.
Ohio, in the midst of the natural gas re-
gion. The gas is failing and the fac
tory will be removed and established at
a cost of s20O0.OO0, If all the plans OF the
syndicate go through.
Cleveland. New Castle, Pa, and two
other cities are being considered as
places for the new factory, and within
few weeks a proposition will be made
to the chamber of commerce OF this city.
A number of pneumatic motor street cars
are now being made at Worcester. Mass.
to ship to Birmingham.

coEuR D'ALENE HOUSE LOOTED.
G. r. Award Found His Residence
Plundered.

Occur d'Alene, Idaho, Oct. 25 - About
two years ago q. r. Award went from
here to Burke, Idaho. leaving his house
! locked UP with about $500 worth of cloth
| ing, jewelry and family keepsakes locked
| In large trunk. He was wired about two
weeks ago that his house had been broken
open and robbed OF its contents. He came
down Wednesday and found such to be
the case, with much of little value scat
tered all over the floor.
He secured a search warrant from
Judge Norris to search Joe Boughtonis
| premises. Constable Bechtel found at
Niger Head, his ranch on the lake, about
four miles from here, where he has been
living until about September Is, one jap
anese bureau. the only article found men,
toned in the warrant, and some clothing
that Boughton voluntarily gave to him,
and a coat and vest he had given to a
poor boy, and which he went with the
constable to get. Constable Bechtel also
found two small fruit jars and other ar
ticles of little or no value at his residence
here in town.
All the articles received by the con-
stable were identified. Then followed the
arrest Of Boughton on the 21st. He was
taken before the justice that evening, ar
raigned and released on $500 bonds to APP
pear the next day at 10 o'clock. The case
has been continued from time to time and
will now be heard at 10 o'clock Monday
morning.
BOuEhtOn's Statement.
Boughton states that his little girls
came home one evening with the Japa-
nese bureau and other small articles.
They told him they got them from AL
wards house, that the doors were open
and everything scattered over the floor,
and that the school children and other
people were carrying the things away.
He went with them to take the things
back, and found it as the children had
stated. He thought Awards folks had
moved away, leaving this stuff discarded.
He decided to pick up the old clothing to
give to some poor people living on the
other side of the lake. Boughton has a
nice family consisting of a wife and two
little girls. He has always sustained a
character above reproach.
J. A. Boughton is we'll known in this
city. He was formerly the proprietor of
the Falls View hotel, which shortly after
the fire was the largest and best in the
city. He has always borne a good repu-
tation in this city.
The matter OF the robbery was known
here several days ago and descriptions
of the articles stolen sent to the officers.
Places where the goods were supposed to
have been hidden were searched, but
nothing was found.
Mr.. Boughton's friends in this city are
loath 70 believe that he committed
crime. and will probably credit his state
ment.
