ALL IS QUIET.

ALL Is QUIET.
Fort MoTTE, S. c., Sept. 30.-Allis
quiet again in Fort Motto. The dis.
play of military force, the evident in
tention Of the authorities to enforce
order and uphold the law, and the
submission ofthe leading spirits s-with
one exception-of the Saturday night
riot, has had salutary effect upon the
negroes of this community, and it will
probably be a decade or more, if ever,
that such another showing of hands
will be necessary on the part Of the
whites of this usually peaceful and al
ways attractive old town. The three
companies of militia on duty here last
night saw little of quiet and less of re-
pose. The boys were strongly in
evidence at all hours, from deWy eve
to rosy morn, and songs and dances,
card playing, and story-telling-inter-
mingled with pranks Of more or less
practical nature kept the hours hust-
ling into the past until the reCeille
was sounded. At roll call the follow
ing men answered 10 their names:

GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION.

Peculiar Letters Received by Congress-
man Brodcrick from Several States
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Congress-
man Broderlck as a member of the COM
mittee on judiciary is flooded with letters
from people who want God in the consti-
tuition. MIR. Broderick says he receives
ten or fifteen such letters in every mail
but SO far only one letter has been from
Kansas.
TO the one Kansas mau, who lives at
Burlingame, Mr.. Broderlck wrote a re-
ply saying that he believed in Christian
ty and its good results but he did not
think people could be forced into recog
nizing Christian principles by Legislative
enactment The true way to ac-
complish good he said was by
impressing the teachings of Christ on
the hearts of the people.
To the letters of people from outside
the state Mr.. Broderick did not reply.
He says those in favor of the proposed
amendment to the constitution seem to
be grouped in sections. Large numbers
of letters come from Boston and vicinity,
from Illinois and Pennsylvania. On the
other hand he has received dozens of
letters protesting against putting God
in the constitution from certain parts of
Wisconsin.

First Occasion Where the Cycle
is Used in War.
Dispatch Bearers Ride Through
the BOer Veldt.
MESSAGE IN HANDLES.
An Englishman and Dutchman
Former is Captured.
Dutchman Turns Traitor and
Will Likely Be Shot.

LONDON, March 9. = News has
reached here of what was possibly the
first use in military dispatch bearing of
the bicycle. 1t was in the raid made
by the Inflated DR.. Jameson in the land
of the Boers. Said the dispatch:
Two of our cycle men were sent at
o'clock with dispatch to DR. Jameson at
Krugersdorp, about fifteen miles from
johannesburg. How do you think the
dispatch was carried? 1t was placed in
the handlebar stem. Jameson's troops
were surrounded by this time. One of
the cyclists was an Englishman and the
olher a Dutchman; you could not have
told the latter from an Englishman. 1t
was the Dutchman that carried the dis
patch in his machine. The Englishman
had his machine taken from him, and
was made prisoner along with Jane
sons troops. The Dutchman returned
alone to Johannes burg. and he had de-
livered the dispatch. That was last
Wednesday. but yesterday he was arrest
ed as a traitor, and it is likely he will be
shot if the charge that has been made
against him can be proved. From what
l can understand, the Dutchman had
shown the dispatch to the Beers and not
to Jameson"

NEYELS' TRIAL BEGINS.
Novels is Fifty Pounds Lighter than
at the Other Trial.


For the second time within a year
Rudolph Frank Novels is on trial for his
life. The second hearing of the Matson
murder case began today in the district
court.
Novels appeared in court at o'clock
in charge of Sheriff Bob Kepley. He is
much thinner and sicklier looking than
when he was put in jail year ago last
December. At that time the colored
man weighed about 100 pounds, His
weight now is nearly 90 pounds less.
The crowd in attendance filled the
spectators'seats in the gallery and on the
floor and stco abouiss the walls today. A
great part of it is com posed of colored
people.
Nevels' white wife, with her child in
arms, sat beside her husband. The accused
murderer's father from Winfield is also
here and occupied a chair near his son
He is an old, wrinkled, saffron-h ued Ne
gro, with small black and gray nous
tache and wears glasses.
The case was not reached until 10
o'clock on account of other business be-
fore the court The selection OF the
jury was then begun.
Deputy County Attorney Arthur Nc
Cabe examined the jury for the state.
Many of the jurors were discharged for
cause, and the first right of challenge
which the state had. it excused the only
colored man then sitting, MIR. Jones. 1t
was colored man who hung the jury on
the former trial of the case.
The state put no unusual questions to
the jury, but ]. r. McNary for the de-
Tense introduced some in his examina-
ton which applied strictly to the case in
hand, and no other. Among others he
asked:
"Do you thiak black man more liable
to commit u crime of this kind than
white one?"
"Have you any objections to the in
termarriage of the two races?"
"Have you any prejudice against col
ored men?"
''Did you take any active part in the
late sheriff fght?"
did you in the primary before the
election of the sheriff."
"Do you know David N. Burdge, CT
John Wilkerson?"
When Men airy asked Mr. Harris, a
farmer VINO lives north of town who was
on the special venire, 'if he now thought
of any reason why he could not deter
mine this case according TO the law and
the evidence" Harris created considera-
BILE laughter by replying: ''None except
that / don't know what will become of
my stock at home"
When noon adjournment was taken
the defense had used six of its twelve
rights of peremptory challenge and the
state three of its six.
Judge Hazsn stated that the case must
be finished this week, though it can hard
ly be done. A verdict may be ready by
Wednesday or Thursday of next week,
but not before that time

WOULD ENTER POLITICS.

john L. Thinks Sporting Men Should
Vote Together.
SAN FRANCIsCo, March 9. = John L
Sullivan and Parson Davies are pre-
pairing to head a movement to place
pugilism on a paying basis again. Sui
livan believes sporting men should
organize and refuse to cast their ballots
for Legislators or congressman who
would not agree to let prize fighters go
unmolested. 'Over in England last
year the sporting league beat lib candi-
dates for parliament because their
views on sporting did not satisfy the
league" said Sullivan
"We want to ask candidates for the
legislature, or for congress, or for the
senate, what they think of boxing, horse
racing or any kind of sports, aud if their
views coincide with ours we will vote for
them. But if they DON'T We'll beat them.
People have got bad view of boxing. If
a horse gets killed, or jockey, the race
goes on just the same, but if two box
and one gets killed, lot of min
listers get up and call il an out
rage. That amt fair. Boxing amt
brutal, and we're going 10 try and
show that it is just as legitimate as any
other sporting procliviIy. If 4 man
wants to go to church, let him; if he
wants to go to fight he's got right to.
We want to educate and tone up the
people TO understand boxing. OF course.
if q man don't want to see boxing he
don't have to, but he has got no business
to interfere with those who do. Take a
minister. His graft is to tell how to go
to heaven. Let him stick TO that. What
business has he got to interfere with
legitimate sport?"

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change. SEQ Kansas Avenue
Wheat opened steady at 653s with the
local bears hammering it in 100000
bushel lots causing a quick break TO
648. The decline met steady invest
ment buying by people who are able to
take care of their purchases. Logan
Mitchell the heaviest seller above 90 for
May.
Northwest receipts were smaller than
a year ago English visible decreased
three quarters of a million bushels, ex-
ports very fair and decrease of over a
million bushels in the visible were bull
factors, while lower cables and large
worlds shipments were the bearish fea-
lures of the days business. Market
kept within a narrow range all day but
was nervous and any buying of conse-
quence advanced prices rapidly. We
have had good break and
may get slightly lower prices
temporarily but the situation
is very strong and is only question of Il
short time until good advance is
scored
We advise buying moderately on good
bre axis, and if protected with a fair mar
gin will reward with handsome profits.
Corn and oats had strong underuone
despite the fact that receipts are increas-
ing There was heavy selling of May
oats by commission houses, but all offer
ings we're promptly absorbed and the
market closed firm.
Provisions opened at unchanged
prices and eased of slig htly early in the
season. but scored good advance later
on. Good buying of May pork was the
feature in provision pit.
