THE PoPULIsr CONTENTION.

The national convention of the Peo-
pies party is in session this week at
st. Louis, with little prospect of COM
pleting its labors; before night or to-
morrow. 1t contains 1903 delegates
and is divided into three distinct
factions: Those who want straight
P0pulist ticket; those who want to
nominate the Democratic nominees;
and those who want to nominate
Bryan, (the Democratic nOminee) for
president, but turn down Sewall who,
they say, is q mOnopOlist and million
aire, and put up for vice president a
Populist. The feeling is reported to
be very bitter, especially among the
Southern delegates who have been
fighting Democrats and who do not
take kindly now to the idea of fusing
with them, and it seems nearly GER
tain that there will be bolt what
ever is done.
The REGISTERS guess is that
Bryan and Sewall will be nominated,
and that the "stsaight-outs" will bolt
and put up ticket of their own.

FRED FUNsTON's REASONS.

In recent private letter Fred Fun
stOn gives US the reasons that inf1u-
ence him in accepting the perilous
commission he has undertaken from
the Harper Brothers, and while some
OF them are too personal to be printed
without his consent, there are others
that we think he would have no OBJ
lection to making public, and we
therefore quote from his letter as fol-
lows:
And l want to help in
boosting the unspeakabIe Spaniard,
body and breaches, from the unfOrtu-
nate island that he has robbed and
misgOverned for 400 long years.
There is not more pitiful tale in his
tory than the story Of Cuba-Of the
brutality, corruption and general GUS
sedness of Spanish rule,-of her ten
years struggle for independence that
ended in treaty, every solitary pro-
vision of which the Spaniards have
broken. This fight will be to the death
and the rebels will win. 1 am conf
dent that in six months it will all be
over.
1 have no patience with those
Americans who say, as some do, that
it is not our war, and that it is our
duty to keep out of it. Talk of that
kind comes with mighty poor grace
from a people who have the example of
Lafayette. VonSteuben, Dekalb and
KOsciuskO to look back to. 1t is the
war of every man who wants to take
part in it. 1t is hard to tell
just when shall get off. The expe-
ditiOn has been in preparation for
some time and has been delayed by
the nOn-delivery of the Hotchkiss
guns with which 1 am to shoot holes
through Prof. Weyler's Justly cele-
brated trachea. However | think
that we shall be off within two weeks.

THE rURrH ABOUT OUR GAS.

lola burned up 10000 feet of natural
gas in her unique Fourth of July cele-
bratiOn.-MdiL and Breeze.
10000 indeed We burned 30,000,-
600 if we burned foot! Nobody ever
talks about gas in lola "by the 1000"
1t is either by the month or by the
million. 1t is nearly time the people
of our own State were beginning to
realize the fact that lola now has sew
en- natural gas wells with total pro-
duct of 80 million cubic feet every "a
hours. Do you know what that
means? 1t means that we have here
the equivalent in fuel of $500 tons of
coal a day. A zinc smelter is now
building here with furnaces that
would require 120 tons of coal a day,
and the proprietors are spending
100000 on their judgment that a very
small part of one we'll will supply all
the fuel they need.
The newspapers of the State have
been very generous in their treatment
of lola. But they are slow to under
stand in all sober seriousness lola has
absolutely the biggest and best nat
uraI gas field in the world.

dressed himself entirely to his white

that you might help US. We come

for nae to explain why this happens.

made yourselves. hut what you in
herited from your fathers and your

but poverty. We were not the heirs
to what was earned by our fathers or

and not only what our fOrefathers had
made, bur aOhnt your .fOretothers had

this point. We shall be very CRATE

FEED THE NERVES

Upon pure, rich blood and you need
not fear nervous prostration. Nerves
are weak when they are improperly
and insufficiently nourished. Pure
blood is their proper food, and pure
blood comes by taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which is thus the greatest
and best nerve tonic. 1t also builds
up the whole system.
Hoods Pills are the favorite family
cathartic, easy to take easy to oper-
ate.

THE HUMBOLDT MURDER.
Jacob Rogers Bound Over to Appear at
the November Term Of the Dis
trict Court to Answer
for the life of
DELLA HUTCHINSON AND HER BABE.

The preliminary examination OF
Jacob Rogers for the murder of Della
Hutchinson and her unborn babe,
was held at Humboldt last Monday.
The intention of the county attorney
was to introduce only evidence
enough to establish q presumption of
guilt, hence the bearing was brief.
The testimony showed that Rogers
had been seen by several persons GO
ing out from Humboldt with Della
Hutchinson in a wagon, late in the
evening of the day she disappeared;
that he was seen as late as ten o'clock
that night near the place where the
body was found; that he was seen
very early the next morning near the
same place; that the remains of a fire
were found on the bank of the creek
in which were pieces of corset stays
and hooks and eyes; that he was the
first one to give the alarm that the
girl had disappeared, taking some Of
the clothing that she had left at his
house in to Humboldt and demanding
of her father that she be brought
back and the charges made against
him as to the paternity of her child
cleared up. AS none of this evidence
was contradicted the defendant was
bound over for trial at the November
term of court.
WAS IT A MOB?
Humboldt was crowded with men
on the day of the preliminary, and
there was good deal of talk of lynch
ing, but it did not take definite form,
and the prisoner was conveyed to
lola without any demonstration.
That night, however, as farmer who
lives east of lola was driving home
about IL O'Clock, he met nearly a
hundred horsemon, coming in the di-
rection of lola. One of the men ac-
costed him with the question: Where
is the rest of the mob?" He made no
reply and drove on home, but instead
of putting up his horse, he took an
other road ard drove with all speed
to lola and aroused Sheriff Ausher-
man, telling him what he had seen.
The sheriff Immediately summoned
five or six deputies and had them
take the prisoner out Unto the brush"
while he remained at the jail to await
his visitors. But nobody came. In
the morning there was evidence that
a large number of horses had stood
for some time near the railroad cross
ing just east of town. But if it was
mob it initiated the example of King
Georges men who marched up the
hill and then marched down again.
The REGISTER is very glad that it
has nothing worse than a fiascO to
chronicle in this matter. There is no
possible excuse for the interference of
a mob in this case. The mans guilt
is not proven yet. But even if it is
certain, he is in the hands of the law,
and justice will be surely melted out
to him. Because one murder has been
committed is no reason that there
should be another. Let the law take
its course. Besides, an attempt at
lynching might not be safe. Charlie
Ausherman wouldn't like to have
prisoner taken away from him.

STRONGLY INDoRsED.

The Cincinnati Tribune, leading re-
publican paper, has some opinions itself
regarding the contest in Kentucky over
the senatorial race. The same paper has
considerable estimat ton of Mr.. Carlisle
In speaking of what the republican MEM
bers of the Kentucky legislature should
do in the event they find they cannot elect
a straightout republican to succeed dem
ocratic Joe Blackburn, the Tribune has
the following to say:
IF the republican members of the legis-
lature can elect man of their own party
who will fill the full measure of this de-
mand, their fellow republicans through
out the land will rejoice. If they cannot
their alternative duty is plain. Let them
send John c. Carlisle to the United States
senate. In the emergency which now eX-
lists at Frankfort such action would be
applauded everywhere as honorable
brave and patriotic. Secretary Carlisle
is a man of sterling character in public
life. he Is a conspicuous champion of
sound money, and on the real issue in
the Kentucky campaign his election
would be a republican victory"

Fleets Compared
A SUMMARY Of the lightlng value Of Die
two fleets is as follows:
Uxy,,a sex hi, ,,ai,,
FREELY ADMITS 1T.

The Advertiser has not at hand the
date of the call in Geneva. but plainly
the democrats there thought that if the
state committee could approve snap
judgments in Perry and Hale, taken be-
fore its meeting, it could stretch Its pa
tience to another after the meetng.-
Montgomery Advertiser
And we have it straight from the Adj
vertiser that the Clarke forces in Geneva
county did actually take snap judgment.
A very frank admittance. Our informa-
ton is that the democrats of that county
do not propose to allow the action in
their county, taken in violation of the
highest party authority in the state, to
go unchallenged. The county, in what
eyer action it did take, as it row stands,
has it's delegation instructed for Clarke.
SO we need not expect the staff" GORE
spondent of the Advertiser to gol that
way smelling around, but when the dem
ocrats of the county come to ask the
rghting of the wrong admitted by the
Advertiser as above to have been COM
mitted just watch that paper take back
what 1t now says about the snap judg-
ment in Geneva
