Davis was not one of the original
Stratton gang, but was admitted
after the first breaking up of the out
fit by the arrest and Imprisonment of
several members. His qualities of
toughness and his experiences in all
kinds of crime led Bob Curry and Doc
Lee, I'VE of the men who had escaped
incarceration for a long period, to pick
him up.
They were operating, through Ohio
and one night tried to rob the post
office at North Baltimore. Discovered
by Officer Baker, they killed him in at.

The brothers arrived here last Mon.
day and engaged 4 room in Arapahoe

turned to Toledo at an early day.

S~ENATOR-ElECT MASON
Taken Suddenly Ill, Is Sent South by His
Physician.

CHICAGO, Feb. l4.-Much alarm was
created and sensational rumors circu-
lated yesterday because SenatOr-eleet
VIM. E. Mason suddenly tainted in his
library at home while surrounded by
a group of visitors, mostly politicians
and Office seekers. Mr.. Mason has
been showing the effect of mental and
physical strain occasioned by his sena.
torial campaign, and when he col.
lapsed the thirty odd men who
crowded the warm room spread the
story that he had been stricken with
apoplexy or ncrvou prostration. after
they were hurriedly dismissed from
the house.
The unconscious senator was car
ried to his bedroom and DR.. A. w.
Gray, who was summoned, quickly re-
vived him. The physician advised the
immediate departure of Mr.. Mason
southwark or the consequences would
be serious. Accordingly, Mr.. Mason,
accompanied by members of his fam.
lily, left at once for Florida.

Products, Invading the Home Market of
Great Britain, Create CONSERVATION.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 15.-British
makers of iron and steel products are
alarmed at the invasion of their home
markets by American manufacturers.
1t is stated hat tin plate bars have
been exported to the Welsh timed
plate mills for several months and that
some of the tin plates imported re-
Gently were made out of American
steel, BeSsemer steel billets have been
exported and one Pittsburgh firm is
reported to have been recently ship
ping on an order for 10000 tons of
billets which have been Landed on the
west coast of England at a price OF II
shillings below the local price. Other
forms of iron and steel exported eX-
tensively are hard ware, mechanical
tools and various forms of machinery.
Wages in American mills are more
than double the wageA paid in En-
glish mills for similar work. 1t il
claimed that the higher cost of labor
in the United States has given to EN-
ployers n greater incentive to use Ia
bor-saving machinery, and that the
labor cost per ton in American mills is
so low, as compared with the cost in
England, by reason of the larger out
put per day, that the cost per ton is
actually below what it is at the most
favored mills in Great Britain, and al
most as low as in Germany.

The guests at the Lincoln day banquet
Of the Ohio Republican league Friday
evening. He spoke to the sentiment:
Solving the Negro Question in the

among other things:
THE negro problem is passing from a ques-
ton OF sentiment into one of industrial and
commercial business. Little can be gained
Tor the negro by abuse of the south. Little
can be gained for the white man by abuse of
the negro. That negro that loves a white Ean
IS I en-fold greater than q white man who hates
d negro. The key to the solution of the race
problem in the south is in the commercial and
lndu trial development in the negro that
shall rest upon the highest and broadcast cul-
ture. We have $50 students at Tuskegee from
p states, 81 instructors and a
colony of LOO persons. Together with lit
erary training we train in &c differ
ent industries. OF the 81 buildings all except
three were erected by students. They have
sawed the lumber, made the bricks. done the
masonry, carpentry, plastering, painting and
Elnsmithtng. The property is now valued at
100000. and is the work Of the students of the
past 10 years.
we have a great object lesson in the civil
ization Of the negro, and hope to make 1t
Felt all over the black belt. The negro
was tied to the white man in slavery
through the bill OF sale. In freedom he
must tie himself to the white man through

Of the sympathetic good will of his neighbors-
When a black man has the best farm in his
county every white man will respect him. A

not. In all history can you find q race that
possessed property, Industry and intelligence
that has long been denied its rights: II the

A REIGN OF TERROR

In the Counties of McMinn and Monroe.
Tennessee, Caused by Deeds of Law
lessness by DesperadOes who for Months
Have Been RObbing and Numbering Peo-
pie and Destroying Propsrty-POrtions
of Three States Terrorized.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Feb. 14.-Al-
most a reign of terror prevails in the
adjoining counties of McMinn and
Monroe in east Tennessee. This state
of things has been brought about by
the lawless deeds of several desperate
characters who have been robbing and
numbering people and destroying
property with impunity for months.
When pursued in Tennessee, the out
laws cross the line into North Carolina
and, hidden in the almost inaccessible
mountains of Upper Tennessee and
North Carolina, defy arrest. The ring
leader of this desperate band is Rich
ard Derrick, who was arrested last
fall for the murder of United States
Deputy Marshal Lumsteel at White
Cliff Springs, but broke Jail at Athens,
Tenn, and has since terrorized the
mountain counties of three states.
They were recently followed by a
posse of Tennessee officers into Ken
lucky. A reward of 81, 900 was Of
fered by the North Carolina officers
for Derrick's capture and a price has
been also put on his head in several
Tennessee counties.
Fuel to the fire was added a few
months ago by the fearful stabbing
of Taylor Miller, a prosperous farmer,
by George Jack, since which deadly
feuds resulting in many bloody en-
counters have existed between the
Miller and Jack factions. Several
persons have been shot from ambush
and farm houses fired into. AS Il con-
sequence the citizens of McMinn and
Monroe counties have organized into
a vigilance society to protect their
homes.
Last nigh: Sheriff Burke left Athens,
the county seal of McMinn, with ten
deputies, heavily armed, in search of
Derrick and his raiders. At "a farm
house they were halted by Il party of
men with guns concealed behind 4
fence. They proved to be farmers on
the lookout for trouble with some of
the Miller faction, who had threat
ened the owner of the farm house.
People are afraid to leave their homes
at night, and most of the farmers ga
armed.

GUESSING WENT WRONG.
The Dynamite Cruiser Did Not Attempt
TO Run the Blockade.

to KUN the blockade.
CHARLESTON, 5. c., Feb. 13.-The
battleship Indiana and the dynamite
cruiser VesuviuS arrived off Charles
ton bar Thursday night. Contrary to
all expectations the cruiser made no
effort at all to come into the harbor
or to run the blockade. She came to
anchor near the other ships of the
squadron and is still lying there. The
Indiana had an u~neventful trip down
the coast.
The Newark and the Massachusetts,
are hourly expected to join the feet.
1t is now believed that the actual at
tempt to run the blockade will be
postponed until all of the fleet are
here, though no official information
whatever III this subject is obtainable.
1t was so rough and fOggv outside
Thursday night that little work could
be done by the ships and so strong a
sea is running off the bar that the
gun practice of the fleet is materially
Interfered with.

In AID OF HANNA.
Republican Leaders Meet in Chicago
to Arrange the Campaign.

Chicago, Aug. 23-The national Repub-
fcan managers are preparing to take part
in the campaigns in half dozen states
where local elections are to be held this
fall. Henry c. Payne, national executive
committeeman from Wisconsin,; Charles
G. Dawes of Illinois; Colonel w. A. Rand
of Wisconsin,; E. V. Smalley of the Ma
tional Sound Money league; George E.
Roberts of iowa, and S. A. Perkins, pri-
vate secretary of Senator M. A. Hanna
and assistant secretary of the national
Republican committee, are in the city.
Two informal conferences have been
held, which were participated in by Henry
c. Payne, Colonel Rand, Charles G.
Dawes, President Perkins, of the College
league, and Secretary Bowling at which
Mr.. Dowling's plans for league work in
the various states where state campaigns
are on were discussed. The conference
at which the plans of the league will be
determined will take place as soon as
Major Dick of Ohio, secretary of the Re
publican national committee, arrives. Mr..
Dick stands very close to Senator Hanna
and will represent the national chairman
in the conference.
One feature of especial moment in the
conference will be the Ohio campaign.
The situation in Ohio is a peculiar one
and it is the desire of those high in the
councils of the party that no mistake
shall be made. What part, if any, the
Republican league will take in the cleo
tons in Virginia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mary
land and Massachusetts, will also be de-
termined on at the coming meeting. The
question to the propriety of the league
renewing the relations with the national
committee which were effective last
year in the national campaign is also an
important one. Early in July Secretary
Bowling and General McAlpin, who was
at that time president of the league, per-
fected an arrangement with Chairman
Hanna which practically placed the
league in the relative position of an aux
Hilary of the national committee, but un-
der it's immediate direction. This was
done to avoid any clashing of purposes,
as had been the case in previous years.
1t is considered probable this plan will
again be adopted.

AFTER THE OUACKS.
Plan for Driving Them Out to be Dis
cussed at the Next Meeting of
the State Board of Health.

It has been generally understood that
the next meeting of the state board of
health would be held at Leavenworth but
it will be held in Topeka September IS.
The December meeting will be held at
Leavenworth.
At the September meeting the presi-
dents of the various medical societies of
the state will meet with the board of
health to devise means for the suppress
sion of the so-called quack doctors.
The secretary of the board of health
has received a number of complaints re-
Gently, specifying that physicians in sew
eral cities were practicing without the
proper certificates and without conform
ing to the requirements of the state law.
The state board of health should also
see to it that after a doctor has lost a
certain number of patients by death, he
be disbarred from any further practice of
medicine or surgery in Kansas. This
would shut out a number of t'practition-
ers'' who have done fully much dam
age in this state .tquacks." The dens-
est kind of medical ignorance and care
lessness is not confined to the 'quacks"
by any means. You can't make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear and you can't
make a doctor out of a blockhead.

work that the city and county officials
prevented two or three negro employees

Clarence Ellington, a white boy, had

was sounded among the shown1en and
a riot ensued. Two or three hundred

The police arrested Henry Washington
and Walter Watkins, two negro show
men. A league of citizens tried to
take the prisoners, and it was only by
great GOODNESS that the officers succeed
ed in getting them to Jail, the mob
threa tening to take and lynch them.
The league searched for the others
implicated in the attack on Ellington,
and had they been found they would
have been lynched The two negroes
arrested are still in Jail, though the
show left for Memphis. Ellington was
badly bruised and his leg fractured. A
lady was also struck by the negro
showmen in the first attack. It took
two or three hours for the mob to quiet
down.

81 SO BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
P. D. Armour's Prediction MadeThree
Months Ago.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-It is said that three
months ago p. D.. Armour predicted
that wheat would reach 81 before
Thanksgiving, and that before Christ
mas it would sell for $1.50. Half of the
prophecy has already come substan-
TALLY true; and naturally enough a
great many would like to know whether
the big packer still holds to the other
half of his previously given opinion
Unfortunately for these, Mr.. Armour
is now in Europe. He is, however,
about to start for home, and may be
expected to arrive here within ten days
or two weeks.
The only member of the family re-
naming in the city is Ogden Armour
Speaking last evening in answer to the
query he said:
II had not known that Mr. Armour
had ever expressed the opinion credited
to him. I cannot therefore say any
thing as to what he probably thinks at
this time, in the light of the recent rise
in the price of wheat All I know is
that he firmly believes prosperity has
come at last and that it has come for
good. OF this he is firmly convinced. -
