 tune in Crowd.

EASTON, Pa, Oct. 3.-Miss Cora J. Nixon, a student of the high school, was the possessor until last night of light golden dresses that hung in a braid down her back. It was beautiful hair, and Miss Nixon and her friends gloried in it.

END OF A SCHEME.
The Atlantic & Pacific Tunnel Soon to
 Be Sold for Taxes.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 3.-The Atlantic & Pacific Railway Tunnel company, which was organized some years ago by Brick" Pomeroy, is now in diff entities and it does not seem likely that its purposes will ever be carried out. The project was to construct a tunnel five miles long through ridge of the Rocky mountains in Colorado, for the combined purpose of tapping alleged great deposits of gold and other ores, and of opening short line of railway communication which would cut down the distance between Denver and Salt Lake City from 779 to 520 miles. The company was organized in 1880 and work went slowly on for some years. but at present only about one and one half miles of tunnel are completed and this tunnel is, it is understood, only heading, and not of full sized section for railway purposes. The project was most extensively advertised and a large aggregate amount was subscribed mainly by small investors No work has been done for some two or three years and it is now claimed that, ow- ing to non-payment of taxes by the officers of the company, the property is to be sold to recover the amount ot the taxes,

 to Be Guilty.
The Couple and the Bodies Are Mis- sing and the Deed Is Laid
 to Them.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 3.-Great excitement prevails at Devali's Blud over the discovery of what is believed to be the most bloodtbirsty tragedy in the history of Prairie county. Bud Chafin and his five children are be- lieved to have been murdered. Suspi- cion points to Mrs. Chafin and John King, her paramour. Chafin with his wife and children lived on White River, between Desarc and Devail's Bluff. John King, hired man, living with the family, is said to have alienated the wife's affectione. Neither King nor any of the Chaffins have been seen since September Fl. On that date King was seen driving away in company with Mrs. Chaffin. As they did not return and nothing was seen of the other mem. bers of the family the nsighbors began an investigation. When the house was opened blood was found spastered all over the fl DOT and there were evidences of a terrible butchery having been com mitted, but no bodies were found. The theory is thst ,ha bodies were thrown into ths river. Every effort is being made to locate King and Mrs. Chaffin.

A New Market for Amer

Failure of Rice Causes the
 Demand.
Ten Thousand Tons Already Shipped and a Much Greater Quantity
 Likely to Go.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-What has lately given the strongest kind of SUD- port to the local wheat market is a demand from India for California wheat.
 The rice crop has been a failure there this year and grain crops also dem aged. Within the past two days two cargoes of wheat to go in steamers have been sold, the destination being Calcutta.
 The two cargoes amount to ten thou sand tons. If more steamers can be procured and the price of wheat does not go too high other cargoes may be bought for shipment to India. It is likely number of sailing vessels will be secured.

Winfrey, Jr., and Miss Sal lie Weatherly were married a few miles out from Somerville, Tenn., and an hou. thereafter the groom was lodged in jail on the charge of murder.

He Will Not Retire From
 the Ticket.
He Has Never Favored the Idea
 of Fusion.
Is for the Straight Mlddle-of-the- Road Policy Regardless of the
 Consequences.

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 3.-The publi- cation in this weeks issue of Thos. B. Watson's Peoples Panty paper of an editorial attack on Chairman Butler of the Populist National committee, is considered significant in view of the rumors that Watson may retire from the ticket. The editorial is as follows:
 Attempts have been made to show MT. Watson favored fusion in the state of Indiana. This is not correct. Wat son took the position at the beginning of the campaign that no Populist could consistently vote for a single SewaH elector any more than he could vote for a Hobart elector He filed with Chairman Butler written protest against Buffers fusion policy. Butler has ignored Watson's protest and gone steadily forward on his own line. Wat sons position is now what it was when the Georgia state convention met. He is for a straight middle of the road ticket. In no other way can the Dem ocratic managers be forced to abide by the St. Louis contract. MT. Watson s position has been humiliating and embarrassing and he has been com pelled to submit to policies he did not approve.

believe anything. There are two
very strong reasons why the court
house will not be built at Ceredo:
one Is that there is not half ENOUGH

that place; the other is that one rea-

We do not agree with the News
exactly. We believe there are
enough votes to move the county
seat to this place, if the ground and
