Newbsrsy College Reunion.

Newberry College Reunion at st.
Johns, last Saturday, August 20,
opened bright and clear and found
number of students and friends of
Newberry College on their way to
attend the reunion of students and
exstuderts of Newberry College at
ST. Johns. A number of students
thought this was the EdgeGeld rt-
union moved over the line but the

seemed not to want to- claim it as
such, so We organized our reunion
Lexington County Reunion.
Prof. Sidney J. Derrick presided
through the organization. J.. E. F.
Kaiser was elected President; D. +.

Kaiser made few appropriate re-
marks upon taking his seat, after
which W. B. Shealy, delivered the
address of welcome, which was
responded to by Col. j. Brooks
Wingard, both OF which assured us
tbat as students and friends of New
berry College we were welcomed
among them, to mingle in their
company, to enjoy the hospitality OF
their homes, to share the good things
they had brought out there in their
baskets, and last but not least, the
one seeking a wife would find the
Rocky Well belle second to none
found any where. And Judging from
what we saw we believe the boys en-
loved the latter hugely and will not
very soon forget the reunion at st.
Johns.

\ BiCysif Hair Bang.

Bicycle girls have almost gone orr
o. their minds trying to keep their
halr straight. or rather curled. for in
ms case The straight way was the
wrong way. The wind und heat PLAYED
havoc with the best curls that the
curling tongs and patience could pro
duce, and the feminine scorwher fen
that she had either TO part with her
hair or her wheel. A beneficent
genius has come TO her rescue, how.
ever, and invented a bicycle bang that
IS warranted 10 be waterproof aud
bomb-pro0f. II is made Of hair, Genes
in all COIOrs. and IS secured 10 the
head by tnnumerabc pins. SO far It
diners not from ordinary false fronts,
but the beauty Of it consists in its
having been treated to some sort Of
chemical that prevents its coming out
or curl, Winds may blow upon It,
rain may beat upon it, the wearer may
even take header without turning
hair OF this admirable arrangement.
The bicycle bang goes ahead of any
other invention yet offered the public.

th:rty-nine dead lying in the streets Of the

Spanish loss is given as six volunteers
killed and seven regular troops wounded.
This is the first news of a battle having
been fought at La Palma and it is impos-
sible to verify the truth of the Govern

Colonel Moncado reports that he has de-

resistance and did not retreat until four

Tragic End of the Checkered
Career of c. ]. Doyle, a
Confidence Man. }
WAS FLEEING FROM JUSTICE
Men Engaged to Lead Him Out of
the Country Kill Him While
He Sleeps.

PORTLAND, Or, April IA little less
than year ago there came to Portland
from San Francisco G. J. Doyle, who soon
was discovered by the detectives to be an
expert confidence operator. 'sure-rhing'
man and fake sprnter He was arrested
several times on vagrancy charges to
frighten him out of town, and eventually
the police succeeded in ridding the CITY of
him. Doyle had handsome and prepos-
sessing countenance, but morally he was
corrupt, and now he lies in an unmarked
grave in Mexico. Detective Welsh to day
received letter from Sonora, accompanied
by CHASTITY photo sraph of Doyle showing
his appearance after having been treach-
erously cut to death.
Two weeks ago Doyle ''himfammed"
Sonora Mexican out of $50 and the police
were at once placed on his track. The
culpIit, knowing that he would receive no
mercy if apprehended, hired two other
Mexicans to guide him out of the country.
Doyle's guides, believing that he had got
ten away with a much larger sum than he
actually did, murdered him the first night
out while he was asleep near the Sonora
line. The photograph received here is
evidence that the treacherous guides
literally hacked their victim into pieces.
The letter adds that, while the guides
were yet engaged in their bloody work
the mounted police in pursuit of Doyle
came upon them and arrested them. They
were taken back to Sonora, where, in all
probability, they will speedily be executed.
Doyle had no reason to be criminal, for
he was member of a respectable family
in San Jose, CAL, which always supplied
him with ample means. and it IS said saved
him from going to San Quentin on two
occasions. But he was instinctiyely a
thief. When he came here he brought
with HIM from the bay dashipg and
seemingly refined young woman, whom
he at first passed off as mis- wife. In his
hurried departure from this city he left
her behind without dollar. The woman
subsequently disclosed the fact that she
had not been welded to Doyle.
