Sundays San Antonio Express;
Kissie Thomas, the negro woman
living near the City Hospital, has
had another revelation and predicts
a dire calamity for the people o.
the United States,
1t will be remembered that Kis.
sic sprang into public notice by
'caliing the turn" on the Sherman
and St. Louis tornadoes. Since the
fulfllment of these two prophecies
Kissie has been resting on her lau-
rels as prophecies, but has not
failed to exhort the colored people
to prepare for an awful calamity
the exact date of which she did not
announce until yesterday.
On Friday night she went into a
trance state and claims to have re-
ceived commission to warn the
people of approaching danger in
the shape Of the most disastrous
storm that has ever been known in
this country. This storm, Kissie
says will come in the next twenty
four hours, and will result in great
loss of life and destruction of prop
erty. In view of the impending
danger Kissie exhorts everybody to
repent of their sins and be ready
for death.
So impressed is Kissie with o
sense of responsibility that on yes
ter she sent the following commu.

MURDER MOST FOUL,

Constable Charles Null, of Null.
doom, was waylaid and shot tc
death Saturday about six miles
north Of Muldoon. He was shot
three times. He left a widow and
several children.
Mr.. Null was on his way from
home to attend justice court at
Muldoon. When about two miles
from home he wasfred on from am
bush by four unknown men and
killed. He was shot three times
through the body and after he fell
from his horse he was, to all ap-
pearances shot through the head.
Mr.. Null has been constable of this
precinct for a number of years and
was loved by all law-abiding citi-
zens and his untimely demise is a
shock to the community. Sheriff
Loessln is at work upon the case
and it is hoped that he will bring
the guilty parties to speedy trial.
Mr.. Null was a member of the
Knights of Honor.
LArER-La Grange, Aug. 10
Mystery surrounds the killing of
Constable Null. He was assassin
ated., and the parties who did the
deed lay in ambush fol- him on the
road he had to travel to reach Null
doom where he had to attend court
on Saturday. The officers report
that there were three parties en-
gagged in the horrible deed. Two
stationed themselves on one side of
the road and one on the other. He
was shot four times, three times
through the body and once through
the back of the head. Evidently
the shot through the back of the
head was inflicted after Null fell
from his horse. Judging from the
empty shells picked up around the
place where the killing was done
and from the wounds on the dead
man the shooting was done with
Winchester rifles.
This morning Sheriff Loessin and
deputies arrested and confined in
Jail here three parties on suspicion
of their being the guilty parties.
The parties held declare that they
are innocent. They are Bunk
Stagner, and two other men named
Siles and Phillip.

Since 1898 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was used with
perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic is almost as severe and
dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Here
tofore the best efforts of the most
skilled physicians have failed to
check its ravages; this remedy,
however, has cured the most malig-
nant cases, both OF children and
adults, and under the most trying
conditions, which proves it to be
the best medicine in the world for

Look Out, Boys.

Cigarette smokers are threatened
with another terror, This is the
so called Cigarette lip" 1t is
claimed by the inventor of this
mysterious term that the habit of
perpetually holding cigarette be-
tween the lips causes the upper lip
to project over the lower one. The
scientist who has lighted upon this
discovery says: Among the saw
age Africans prominent and pro-
tuberant upper lip is produced by
inserting a wooden ring in a slit in
the lip and increasing the size of
the ring from time to time. The
same effect is attained in enlight-
ened lands by means of the cigar
cite, though the expense involved
is vastly greater, as we'll as the
deleterious influence upon the gen
eral health of the patient"

A case that is expected TO de-
velop the cost of manufacturing
bicycles will soon come up before
Judge Hagner in Washington City.
1t is in the form of an allegation of
fraud made by manufacturers of
the Loyal wheel of New York
against the Thorne company of
Washington, manufacturers of the
Hawthorne wheel, alleging that the
latter company is contemplating an
assignment, and meanwhile is sell
ing wheels by auction for an aver
age of $22.15, on less than cost,
The compliments have a bill
against the Thorn company. The
latter will assert that there is a
good profit in the wheels at the
price received for the Hawthorne,
will deny an assignment is contem-
plated, and, it is said, will go into
details as to the cost of bicycle
sundries.

JAMES II. SHELBURNE.

On the 377th ballot the LAGRANGE
congressional convention nominal
ed James II. Shelburne as their
choice for congress. The vote had
stood Shelburne %, Duff % and
Volney Ellis 6.
Thursday morning a telegram
was received by the Lavaca dele
CATION from Volney Ellis, asking
that his name be withdrawn, and
that the delegation cast its vote for
some man in strict accord with
the Chicago platform. The eau
Gus of the Burgess and Shelburne
men lasted for more than an hour,
and Shelburne insisted on Austin
county giving Burgess at least one
complimentary vote. This, how
ever, the Austin delegation refused
to do, and it was whispered about
that the delegation was not faith
full to Shelburne, but was holding
back with a view to getting an OPP
portunity to vote for gentleman
whose name had not been men
toned. Austin's vote would have
nominated Burgess, and after Shell
burne tried to throw the county to
him Burgess in turn asked his
friends to vote for Shelburne, as
surfing them that he was entirely
out of it and that he Shelburne
was his choice. He earnestly urged
thot his followers stay with Shell
burne.
Judge Robson went before the
caucus and said it was not fact
that he was dark horse, as report
ed, but that if neither Burgess nor
Shelburne could get the nomina-
ton and it was rendered him he
would accept it, or words to that
effect. Lavaca was the bone of
tention and the delegation split,
some being willing to vote for
Shelburne and others holding back.
The caucus lasted for more than an
hour.
When the convention recon
vened the 337th ballot was taken
and Lavaca voted for Shelburne.
giving him 20 votes and the nomi-
nation, Before the ballot was
completed Lewis Bryan moved to
shelburne by acclama-
tod and the motion prevailed.
Amid the greatest applause Shell
burne assembled the platform and
thanked the convention in feel
ing manner. He said he was sure
to go to Washington if he lived,
and that it would be the first time
he had ever been out of the state,
having been born in Industry, Aus
tin county. He promised to re-
present the district to the best of
his ability.
Burgess was loudly called for,
and made an excellent speech. He
eulogized shelbourne, speaking of
his rugged honesty, and urged
every democrat in the district to
put on his armor and go forth to
battle for the nominee, something
he promised to do with the great
est cheerfulness and earnestness.

Ee Murdered johanna Loguo In Philn-
delphia Nearly Twenty Years Ago.
PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-Alphonse Gu
taiar, Jr., was convicted Of murder in tho
first degree for killing Johanna Logue
his aunt, the wfo of the notorious burglar
Jimmy Loguo. The crime was committed
in February, 1879, and. for 16 years was
enveloped IN mystory. On Oct. l6, 1898,
q carpenter repairing the house at 1850
North Eleventh street tore up some
boards from the kitchen floor and found
the skeleton Of Johanna Logue. It became
known that Logue and his wife had lived
in the house years before, and suspicion
pointed to him, but all search for him
failed. On the night of March 8, 1895,
Logus surrendered himself to Coroner
Ashbridgo. When he heard he was want
cd, no said he came straightway from the
west 20 give himself up and aid in the de-
lection Of the real murderer. In conse-
quence of his subsequent statements Gu
taiar was arrested.
Years ago Logue bought tho Eleventh
street house and fitted up the first floor as
barber shop for Cutaiar, who was his
stepson. Logue and Johanna lived there
with him. In February, 1879, these two
went to New York. They parted there,

trip and tho woman returning TO this city.
Almost Immediately after her arrival here
she disappeared and was mover again seen
alive.
Logue made vigorous efforts to find her
and spent much money in the fruitless
search. The mystery remained unsolved
until the finding Of the bones and the
consequent Developments 1t was proved
that the woman had on her person at the
time she was killed $4,000 in government
bonds and valuable iewelry. The charge
was that Cutaiar had murdered her TO Sc
cure this property.
Cutaiar made conflicting statements
after his arrest, but finally declared that
the woman was drunk on the night she
died. She insisted on returning to New
York, but he made her go to bed, and, to
prevent hor slipping away, he tied her
hands and feet. While in this condition
she got her head under the pillow and
was smothered. Then, in fear of murder
charge, he buried the body under the
Kitchen boards.
A tightly knotted handkerchief around
the skeletons neck showed that strangu-
lation had probably caused death.
Logue, who is one of the most notoris
Gus burlgars Of his time, though now over
90 years old, was a witness against Gu
taiar, who is in the neighborhood Of 40
years Of age.
