A MAD DOGS WORK.

Taylor, Tex, April 3O.-(Special)-
Paul Herpot, Il German farmer living
at Sandoval, two miles northeast of Tay-
lor. was in the city yesterday evening
and informed your reporter that mad
dog which had been running loose in that
vicinity since Easter, had played havoc
with the cattle in that neighborhood and
caused CONSERVATION among the farmers.
Quite n number of cattle were bitten
by the dog before its condition was real
lied. necessitating the killing of several
head of fine stock belonging to Mr..
Herpst, +. Schlickheisen and others, each
head of which, by frothing ut the mouth
and crazy antics, showed unmistakable
evidences of hydrophObic poisoning. AS
the dog was seen chasing several differ
ent herds of cattle in that neighborhood
before being dispatched, the extent of
loss from the rawlings of the brute can
not now be estimated. Mr.. Herpst states
that the farmers hope to eradicate the
evil by closely watching and killing every
animal without regard to ownership inn
mediately after symptoms of hydropho-
ba become apparent. 1t is needless to
add that dog not securely fastened or
housed in that ncighbOrhood is unsafe
now.
Mad dogs are also reported in the Hol-
lOman settlement and at Hedwig's school
house, nine miles southeast of Taylor,
and farmers in those vicinities are resort
ing to the Y rays of -barrelled
shotguns as treatment for all ours found
running loose.

day and was bound over to the grand
jury.
The crowd who came to the jail last
night appeared to be very orderly rep
resentation of the good citizens of Bur-
net county, who denounce in unmeasured
terms the crime of which the negro is
accused.
All credit is due to our efficient sheriff,
Chris. Dorbandt, Deputy Mat Smith and
Constable Jim Murray for the bravery
they showed in the defense of the pris-
oner, and he no doubt owes his life to the
bold stand taken by the officers.
Mr.. DOrbandt met the leaders Of the
mob at the head of the stairs, and on
hearing their demand to turn over Tom
Moore to them, he replied that it was
his duty to guard the prisoner, and that
he would die in the defense of his duty
before he would acceed to their demands.
After consultation the leaders informed
Mr.. Dorbandt that rather than kill good
man they would retire for the time, but
would come again 800 strong and would
take the negro by force.
The mob were all heavily masked, and
from every indication were from the
country, as a number of wagons and men
on horseback were heard to come in to
town about II o'clock, and the assault
on the Jail was made between that time
and 1 o'clock.

uOISE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, May 1.-The house again
devoted the major portion of the day
to debate on the bankruptcy bill. Sew
eral amendments were offered, but none
adopted. A bill to provide for a dele
gate in congress from the territory of
Alaska was defeated, A to 10.
Mr.. Scranton (RepD of Pennsylvania
called up the bill and spoke of the devcl-
opmcnt of the Alaska mining and fish
ing industries and the increase of popu-
ation in the last fifteen years. Its vast
area rendered it proper and necessary
that it should have II well informed rep
rcsentativc in the house. There were,
he said, over 100000 white Americans
in Alaska.
Mr. Perkins Rep) of Iowa opposed
the bill, urging the migratory nature OF
her white population and the improba-
bility that Alaska could ever be given
even n territorial government, certainly
not for many years to come. He de-
clarcd the pressure for the bill came
from Alaskan corporations.
In the course of debate on the bank
ruptcy bill, Mr.. Henderson of Iowa said
that from letter received from dis
tinguishcd citizen of Indiana he would
quote the following:
81 think the impression of some of ont
western boards of trade upon the bank
rutcy bill was that by reason of near
ness of our merchants to their customers
they had IN advantage with bankrupt
debtor"
The writer, Mr.. Henderson said. was
BENJAMIN Harrison, "who rs president
or as private citizen stands for every
part of his country and for all its great
interests"
A bill was passed to authorize the free
importation of foreign exhibits to the
Tennessee exposition, and the report in
the contested election case of Wilson
VS.. McLauren, from the Sixth South
Carolina. confirming the title of the sit
ting member to his seat, was adopted;
At ; p. m. the house recessed for the
usual Friday night session.
The house acted favorably on twenty
one private pensions at the evening SEES

M'k|NLEY WON THE FIGHT.
HE IS THE CHOICE OF THE RE-
PUBLICANS OF ILLINOIS FOR
PRESIDENT.
WAS A SHORT BUT HARD STRUGGLE
Cullom Backers Met Defeat Gracefully
and Announced Their Complete Ac-
quiescence-A Statement by
Cullom.

Springfield, April 3O.-William McKin-
ley, Jr., of Ohio, is the choice of the Re-
publicans of Illinois for president of the
United States. He was so declared Mt
the Republican state convention here to-
day.
The contest of the convention was be-
tween members who believed that Hon
Shelby NJ. Cullom should have been hon
ored as the standard bearer on the one
hand and the Republicans in favor of
Mr.. Mckinley on the other. Arrayed
on the side of Senator Cullom was the
Cook county machine and large num-
Der of politicians and statesmen of Hi
nois. They are one of the most perfect
political organizations that has ever been
formed in this state, but all their plans
went wrong today and while Senator
Cullom and his hackers met with defeat
they met it gracefully and announced
their determination to lend their SINGER"
est and heartiest cooperation for the
election of Maj. Mckinley to the high
est Office within the gift of the people
of the United States.
The battle today was not long one.
1t lasted scarcely an hour, but in that
time the struggle was one of the hardest
candidates for state offices were all nomi-
mated with the exception of the trustees
of the state university.
The first shot was fired by Cullom's
men in the shape of resolutions instruct
ing the national delegates at large from
this state to support him at the ST. Louis
convention. AS soon as Senator Cul-
Ions name was mentioned there was
wild and enthusiastic cheering from his
friends and followers, but when the
offered the burst of applause was simply
tremendous. From this time Senator
Cullom's friends gave up hope. They
saw nothing could stop the determination
of the delegates to name Mckinley as
their choice for president.

Neikhbors.
Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-The lemon
stration in honor of the Homecoming of
Hon. w. j.. Bryan was an event in the
life of that gentleman of which he can be
proud. The demonstration had been
we'll advertised and it had the effect of
bringing an immense crowd to Lincoln.
Packed in the rain outside the state
house were people by the thousands.
They cared nothing for the wet under
foot, and the wet overhead, and stood
in the mud as patiently as if it had been
the most propitious weather. When
Mr.. Bryan was introduced the shout
that went up was a mighty one and it
was repeated. over and over again. A
temporary platform had been erected
at the north exterior of the building,
and from this Mr.. Bryan spoke. His
remarks were brief, and were confined
exclusively to expressions Of apprecia-
ton and gratitude for the welcome ex-
tended to him, containing rot the slight
est reference to politics.
