citizen failing to subscribe for great

taking his own county paper. The

sends two papers week, or 104 papers
a year-less than one cent each. The
weekly contains the best and brightest
news condensed from the daily paper,
together with we'll assorted collection
of reading matter and useful inform
alton. A popular feature in its columns
next year will be the speeches of prom
inent men in the presidential campaign.
These will be given almost in full. A
reader of the Twice AZ Week Re
public will always be abreast of the
times, for no paper has greater new!

Once More Indicted.
! Smith Times Dec 21st

From Fort Smith Times Dec. 31st.
Cherokee Bill, that famous or in
famous outlaw, who is SO well known
by reputation, was once more in the
United States Court yestetd day morning
Chained on each side to negro and his
ankles shackled he was brought ovel
shortly after court convened. His
sable companions were the Smith
brothers, Frank and Henry.
The three had been jointly indicted
by the grand Jury for the train robbery
which occurred at the station OF
Coretta, between Fort Gibson and
Wagner, I. T.. Oct. 10th, 1894. This
will be remembered as the robbery in
which Jack Mahara, the advance agent
of Mahara s minstrels, was shot in the
forehead by the rascals on the outside.
The train, with its windows almost
completely shattered, passed through
Fort Smith about noon of the following
day and was the object of much
curiosity, large crowd being present
at the depot to see the strange sight.
For a long time the identity of the
robbers remained profound mystery
1t was at first thought that none but
negroes were implicated in the affair.
This proved nearly correct, as Buz
Lucky the tall negro who has since
been convicted of murder, has been
learned to have been in the robbery and
if the Smith boys were in it that
accounts for three darkies.

The details of the confession of Harry
Il. Hayward. who was hanged al
Minneapolis last week, mas just been
made public. 1t shows that during his
life he murdered no fewer than five
different persons. and in describing the
different tragedies he shows an utter
absence of human feeling. His first
victim was a young woman named
Carrie Haas, who he killed TO get $500.
He planned to kill another woman who
had s. ZOO a year. but failed owing to
seeing no way to get her wealth. He
next killed a consumptiye man while
tending bar at Long Branch. His next
victims were Chinaman and Mexican
at Ell Paso del Norte. and his last was
Miss Cling. lie killed the latter
because, he says. he hated her. he
had already got s.. 500 of her money,
and she became suspicious of him. He

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20.-fhe
Russian newspapers generally discuss
the Venezuelan question and express
the belief that it will have pacific
issue.
The Novosti considers that the position
assumed by the United States is in
conflict with the interests of the whole
of Europe, and suggests that the
mediation of certain European powers
and new and peaceful settlement
therefore would be opportune.
The Novoe Vremya says
If it comes to war between Great
Britain and the United States the former
will have to encounter international as
well as foreign foes, for the Irish are
not likely to look on passively at such a
conflict. In that event England S
affairs in Turkey and the far East vii
not wear so favorable an aspect, and
there would come the hour OF bitter
retribution for the past upon which
Englishmen pride themselves, forgetting
that successes gained by guile and force
are never enduring.
The Boersen Gazette remarks:
1.-The one honorable means left for
England to extricate herself from the
affair is vote of censure against the
Marquis of Salisbury, and new
Cabinet might be able to rectify the
blunders of its predecessors.
