An Expensive Hunt.

Mr., Mack Radford, of Longview,
decided to make an example of some
negro men he caught hunting on his
farm and had three Of them arrested.
They were Jim Kelly and Alex Hop
kins, who live at Mr.. Ernest Steger's,
and Bud Williams, who lives at Mr..
Richard LeavelPs. John Radford, the
fourth OF the trespassers, escaped to
Tennessee. The three who were
caught were taken before ESQ Barker,
who gave them the lowest fine, one
cent and costs, but when the costs
were figured up it was found that an
attorneys fee of SIS was to be added
and the total expense to each of them
was 1851. Hunting on other peo-
ple's land is rather an expensive pas,
time, as the offense is covered by a
special and very severe law.

LYNcHINC is IN ORDER.
A MayfeId Lady The Victim of Brutal
Negro,


At eleven o'clock Monday night the
wife of Prof. j. NJ. R. Green, of this
city, was outraged by Jim Stone,
brutal negro living three miles south
of town. At the hour named Mrs.
Green was aroused from sleep
by feeling the fingers of a
man on her throat She was
unable to make an out3ry, and her
assailant presented a pistol, telling
her he would kill her if she made an
cutlery. He then succeeded in &C
complishing his purpose and escaping
through window, by which means
he tered the b US e.
Stone was arrested Tuesday and in.
dlcations pointed strongly to hang
ing that night, and crowd was
gathering for that purpose when the
officers succeeded in taking the negro
to Paducah and placing him in Jail.
The crowd followed on the midnight
train, but when it arrived in Paducah,
Stone had been taken to some
other place and could not be found.
1t is the universal opinion that the
negro is guilty and ought to be hung
at once.-Mayfeld Monitor.
1t is now known that the negro was
taken to the country under guard
for safe keeping. Prof. Green accom-
panied the mob to Paducah, carrying
rope in his hand. A special term of
court may be called at once to indict
and try the brute. Nothing but his
speedy execution, by law or other
wise, will meet the requirements Of
the case.
Stone was taken to Louisville We'd
nesday night and is now in Jail there.
He denies his guilt, of course, and
now that he considers himself safe
talks in brazen way about the af-
fair, referring to his victim as "the wo-
man" The Courier Journal speaks
of the rapist and ex-convict as" James
Stone the young colored man charg-
ed with assault" He is twenty-one
years old and according to the same
paper has "a good countenance."

THE LABOR PROBLEM.
Still Occupying the Attention of the south
Christian Farmers.

Christian Farmers.
The Longview farmers club means
business in the matter of cutting the
expenses of wages. The club now
has forty members and is holding
weekly meetings. Ernest Steger is
President and DR.. Harry Watts Sec
rotary. 1t is non-political, all parties
being represented in its membership.
Resolutions have been adopted set
Ting several important questions.
The maximum price for wages is
Sl20 year. This is for the team
sters and most expensive hands, who
have heretofore been paid from $3.50
to $3.50 year. The sum is divided
into monthly payments, the pay dur
ing summer months being about
double that of winter months. This
is to keep hands from wintering at
the yearly rates and then jumping
their contracts in the busy season.
The ordinary hand will be paid only
Sl0O, and some as low as SIS year.
The members also agree not to rent
their cabins to outside hands and not
to pay day hands higher wages than
monthly hands receive, the highest
price in the busiest season to be Is
cents and board.
Share hands are to pay rent for
their houses between crop seasons
by working two days each week and
other hands not employed by the
year, but who will be needed in the
work months, will be allowed to &C.
cupy cabins on the same terms and
feed themselves, living during the
winter on what they have saved dur
ing the summer.
The club has sent out the form oil
an agreement to be signed by all the
members and all farmers in the coun
ty are to be invited to enter into sim
liar agreements and thus fix the sche
dule of wages for the whole county
In addition to this cut in wages, al
the farmers will reduce the number o.
hands. Many Of them have put two
thirds of their land in wheat anC
quite number who hired from fouI
to six hands this year will have only
one or two next year. This will leave
a great many unemployed laborer'
in this county, who will doubtless g
to working On the railroads or in tn,
mines in other states. In the Hook
ing Valley mines of Ohio there art
some strikes now on and the places o
these union miners will probably
soon be open to the cheaper non
union negro labor from Kentucky anc
other states.

The MOLLY Cotton-TsiI" Escaped

Vanceburg, KY, Nov. A.-Mr
Frank Doyle, who came in from Trip
let creek this morning, tells about q
novel happening at church yesterday
While Rev. E. q. Johnston was
preaching rabbit broke in at the
front door, Immediately followed by
two brawling hounds. The rabbit
finally circumvented the dogs,
scrambled among the benches and
made safe escape.
"That's the way that satan is pur-
ing the sinner" happily illustrated
the preacher, "and it is to be hoped
that they may make as lucky an es-
cape as the rabbit did before they
are securely caught"

Stable Burned Down.

q" W. Gooch's stable on North
Main street was burned about 1870
o'clock Wednesday night, with all Of
its contents consisting Of corn, hay
etc. 1t was small frame building
and was destroyed before the fire de.
partment could get out. In hitching
up one of the horse carts an accident
to the gearing occurred and the horse
ran away with Lee Morris, the teams

before he could be stopped, humping
and bruising Mr.. Morris more or less.
The loss to Mr.. Gooch was perhaps a

"The Ladies Orchestra"

. The Ladies Orchestra, Chas Ell Perry
manager, gave their first entertainment
in this city last evening. From what
we had heard and read, about this
Orchestra, we expected fine enter
tdinment, which was more than real
lied. When the curtain went up, a
most beautiful tableau presented
itself. The orchestra composed en-
tirely of young ladies, with the single
exception of the director, Mr.. Frank
w. Mckee, were sttired in silk and
satin Greek costumes. A more beau
tiful picture could not be found. The
first number on the programme,
March-Handicap-by Rosey, when
finished proved to those present, that
there was treat in store for them
with the remainder of the programme.
We regret that space will not permit
of our mentioning each member, out
we must say few words for the so.
loists.
The first, Trombone Solo,
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" rendered
by Miss Ada Rudolph, was given in
very pleasing manner and brought
forth hearty applause. She re-
sponded with an encore. The instru-
ment will never suffer in such hands
as Miss Rudolph's.
The next was the flute solo by Miss
Florence E. Beckett. 1t proved from
the ease with which this young lady
handled her instrument, that she was
an artist Of great merit. She played
Turtle Doue Polka" responding to
her encore with "My Lodging is on
the Cold Ground" which was played
with much feeling
The violin solo by Miss Anna
Miller, was one of the most appreci-
ated numbers of the entire program.
Miss Miller has perfect command of
her instrument. She responded to a
doubly we'll deserved encore.
The last was the harp solo given by
Alice n. Mead. This number was
looked forward to with much interest
and when played was greatly appre-
ciated. Mrs. Mead is to be congratu-
lated upon the mastery manner with
which she handles her beautiful in
strument.
The orchestra numbers were all
finely rendered and we never had
an entertainment in this city that
was more thoroughly enjoyed, and
for those who did not hear the concert
we feel that they have missed a
treat. We hope that Manager Gal
breath will arrange return date for
the Clara SchumannLadiesO Orchestra,
who will always be accorded a hearty
welcome.

Did you ever withdraw that language

said that the consummation Of the
scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
the wars, pestilences and famines that
ever occurred in the history Of the

age of silver could do any more damage
than that? Your record challenges YOU
to joint debate, will you accept? Are
you willing to take up your speech of
1878 and answer it, one proposition at
time? If you are, you will silence those
who doubt your sincerity and question
your motives. If you are not willing to

POLITICALLY DEAD.
Kentucky's Silver Victor Lays John G.
Carlisle on the Shelf.

Kentucky's Silver Victor Lays John G..
Carlisle on the Shelf.
A prominent plutocratic now-you-
see-it-now-you-don't silver democratic
organ Of st. Louis bewails the passing
of John G. Carlisle in the late silver
tidal wave in Kentucky. It assigns
as the sole cause Of this, 1.-THE first con-
spicuous defeat in his remarkable ca
reer," the fact that he refused to in
dorse Blackburn's candidacy for the
United States senate after that gentle
man had been named for the place by
a caucus of democrats.
This cool assumption that the late
hight in Kentucky was entirely void of
the elements which generally charac-
terize political struggle for principle,
and that its result contains no other
lesson except one intoxicating fealty to
caucus demands, is a trait peculiar to
men and organs that, pretending to IA
vor certain ideas, yet hasten to bOlit-
tie their triumph by ascribing the vic
tory to some trivial or contemplate
cause. This disguised organ of the
gold bugs knows full we'll that the
victory won by Carlisle in the Ken
lucky convention last summer, mot
withstanding the tremendous odds
against him." was not an evidence of
the will of the people of Kentucky, but
plain indication Of the baneful power
which the hope OF public patronage
may be depended on to exercise when
welded by INSCRIPTIONS men.
There may be something mournful in
Carlisle's eternal exit from political
life, just as there were pathetic fea-
lures attendant upon the acts by which
Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot
forever closed the worlds doors
against themselves, but the men or the
organs who attempt to make him an
object Of pathos on the ground that he
made mistake in withholding his in
dorsement from some other partisan at
a certain critical period, not only write
themselves down as hopeless igno-
ramuses or wilful deceivers, but as in
suffers Of the people as well.
Mr.. Carlisle was deservedly shunted
into political oblivion because, after
having been trusted and honored by
the people of his state as men seldom
are, he permitted the dross in his ma
ture to get the upper hand and con-
sented to stoop from his pinnacle Of
fame to the dirty work of corrupting
Kentucky convention in the interest
Of conscienceless gold bugs.
Carlisle has had his day, and though
sentiment may be permitted a tear
over his taking off, yet remorseless
progress, firm-featured and dry-eyed,
views his wreck with the same passive
indifference which it accords to any
other rubbish that seeks to block its in.
exorable way.

Two Continents Pay Tribute to E1lSA
Beach Yaw, the Great Singer.
In this closing Of the nineteenth CEN
lury there has dawned a star in the
rocal armament which eclipses, in bird
like sweetness and phenomenal range,
all the voices of the past, says the New
York World. History will write the
name and fame of Ellen Beach Yaw a.
the greatest soprano singerAthe world
has ever known-greater than Patti
greater than Nilsson-greater than
Lind. The American people will find
much satisfaction In the thought that
Miss Yaw is an American girl: she was
born in New York state and the great
er portion of her early life was spent
In California.
Miss Yaw is tall, stately girl, whose
wealth Of blonde hair frames a face
that Is beautiful and expressive. Her
bearing and manner indicate selt-pos-
session and are the embodiment Of all
that Is graceful and refined. The beau
ty and phenomenal range of her voice
became apparent some years ago, while
under the tuition Of Nine. Blorksten OF
New York, and under whose guidance
Miss YaW went to Paris and studied
with the famous Della Sedie and BaX.
It was not until two years ago that her
wonderful voice began to attract pub
lie attention-and in this brief period
she has sung herself into a popularity
that has taken others lifetime to &C
compllsh. Compared with other voices
Of worldwide fame, the scale stands
thuR.
Miss Yaw sings without the slightest
perceptible effort, from E below the bar
to e in the altlsslmo-a range OF TWEEN
ty-eight tones. Her famous note--the
Il above high e is Ave notes higher than
Patti ever attained-and the highest
note ever voiced from a human throat
Her singing and her methods cannot be
llkened to those of Patti or Nilsson
there is a distinctiveness and an indl-
viduality that has been created by and
belongs exclusively to Yaw. who Is now
engaging the attention Of tho whole
music-loving world.
Tho SupsrAuOus Words.
The late Charles Carleton Coffin, the
author who first won fame as war
correspondent. was once asked the
secret of his style, his graphic descrip-
tlons having given his letters from the
front their great attractiveness. He
answered that he had no other method
other than to write his story naturally,
as II he were talking, and then to go
over his copy and strike out every word
not necessary to the sense. "Carleton's"
plan embodied a principle Of which
many advertisers have since availed
themselves. To be natural is to be sim
cere; to be concise is to be vigorous
and these are cardinal virtues in the
economies Of neutrality-suspicious.
