groes were seriously wounded and hve
others sp.inkled with buck shot last
n: sht by mob OF white men at Altoo-
ma, fifteen miles from here, on the
Tennessee River, Fifteen negroes were
engaged in cutting timber for the
Standard Oil Company. They had
been ordered TO leave, being told that
no negro was allowed to stop there.
John Keeber, the foreman, decided
that there was no danger Of violence,
and the negroes were sitting around
an old smoke house, when mob Of
fifty men sTooped down upon them
and began firing. Some OF the negroes
ran into the woods and others sought
refuge in the house with the foreman.
The mob then started to burn the
house, but the foreman sued fer peace
and the negroes were given twenty
five minutes in which 10 leave. The
seriously wounded are: Smith, fore

Murdered for His Money.

New YORK, Nov. 19.-Frank ?.
Arbuckle of Denver, Col, was found
in an unconscious condition lying in
an obscure place near vacant lot,
Just off the sidewalk in lot Of weeds,
on the West side of Eighth avenue
between 152ad and 153rd streets at 3 As
o'clock this morning. He died in the
patrol wagon on the way to a station
house without regaining conscious
ness. That the man was garrotled,
robbed and murdered is believed from
incidents which occurred short time
prior to his being discovered lying in
the weeds. Officers sent out on the
case went to the Atlanta Casino, near
where Arbuckle was found. There
they had talk with the bartender,
who said thata man answering the de.
scrlption of the dead man came into
the saloon about an hour before the
time he was found unconscious and
called for a drink Of whiskey. He
appeared at the time to be partly un-
der the in tluence of liquor. In paying
for the drink he displayed large roll
Of bills. After taking his drink the
man left the saloon. That is the last
known OF his movements. No money
except small amount of change was
found in his pockets and he had no
watch nor chain. 1t is believed that
after leaving the Casino the man was
set upon by thugs, knocked down and
robbed. No marks of violence were
found on the body, according 10 the
police, except slight abrasion On the
head. This might have been caused
by blow from a sand bag, crit might
have been received in fall Mr..
Arbuckle had beer stopping at the
Fifth Avenue dotel until within few
days. His later mc7ements were not
known. The neighborhood where the
dying man was found hasan unsavory

SPEINGFIELD, Mo, Nov. l!.-Hon.
William j Bryan and his distinguished
party of hunters from ST. Louis arrived
here this morning. The train was met
by an enthusiastic crowd, including
many railroad shop men, and before
the party could make It's way up town
MIR. Bryan was compelled to make a
short speech in response to the de-
mands of the shop men. The party
were finally escorted to the hotel by
the crowd, which cheered the Nebras-
kan's name at every step. From the
hotel balcony Mr.. Bryan made another
short speech. The party left for
Chadwick, where they will be con
veyed to the game preserves in Tauey
County.

In considering these lists 1t must be
recalled that the States contributed
through some trusted agents, and that
the firms mentioned acted as collect
ing agencies for Mr.. Hanna.
There is some controversy as TO the
Vanderbilt contributions. One au-
thority says William K. Vanderbilt
gave $3.50, 900, and Treasurer Bliss de.
MED the statement, but it is generally
accepted the family gave the sum
credited, S250,000.
Relative to Connecticut, exGover-
nor Morgan G.. Burkeley declared,
prior to the election, that he had OBJ
tanned the million dollars he was ex,
pected to collect. His statement was
printed in Connecticut newspapers at
the time.
New Jersey gave literally and did
it through Garret \. Hobart, who, as
member of the Coal Trust, had un-
Usual facilities for securing contribu-
tions.
Pennsylvania had for its collecting
agents such successful managers as
Senator Quay, Andrew Carnegie and
II. C. Frlck. The venerable Coils p
Huntington acted for many of the
Western States, while Mr.. Hanna
himself looked out for Oaio, and
Henry Cabot Lodge for Massachusetts,
and the rest OF New England.
The immense sum thus collected has
not all been expended. There is 4
surplus OF about 50, 000.0 900. 1t is be.
cause OF this surplus that the National
Committee continues in permanent
headquarters with an expensive stall.
II is the first National Committee that
ever wound up the campaign with
something left over, and for the rea-
son that there was no way TO spend 1t
all
Aside from the innumerable expen-
ses Of the two headquarters and the
regular campaign work throughout
the country, it is notorious that in
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, the Dako-
tas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa the
sum of so, 600 was given for special
work in each Congressional District.
That amount was also sent into eX-
Representative Towne's district in
Minnesota and ex-Representative Sib
levs district in Pennsylvania. Mr..
uanna was particularly anxious to
beat Towne, Sibley and Richard =.
Bland because of their interest in tha
silver cause.

somewhat startled now, and moves

New YORK, Nov. 20-Various sto-

amusement in political circles, because
the sums alleged TO have been fur.

the actual CAST amounts cor tributed.
Reports from the same source differ,
one stating that the Republican Ma
tional Committee had 81 600, 600 TO ex-

million.
As matter Of fact, Mr.. Hanna's
committee had upward of SIC, 600, 900
at its disposal, if reports of Republi-

AS manufacturer of barrels and

ment of produce this season, it will
be my pleasure to furnish such only

that will offer, in my judgment, will
be in their interest and they are
respectfully solicited to try them and
if they do not find that better prices
are realized for package of fair size.
then the size will be changed to meet
their views. 1t seem to me, if we eX-
pect fair prices we must use package
of fair size, but as what is the inter
est of farmers will be nine, l will be
prepared to furnish what they want.
A standard package seems to be
necessary, however, if the farmers
expect to get standard prices. Hop

such as their best interests demand,
