Not Any In Ours.

While on a business trip to Florence last
week we had the privilege of a close in
epection of a vehicle called a bicycle. This
was the first time we ever saw one except
at a distance. After we had finished our
inspection the owner showed us how the
old thing worked and suggested that we
try it. We had never met with anything
on wheels which we could not get on to
and stay as long as we pleased, and it was
with great deal of self confidence that we
tackled that bike. We know how we got
on, but how we got off will ever be puz-
zle to us. We can't make out whether the
thing bucked with US or ran away, but
when we came Co we had scalp wound
inches long, our nose WAS badly warped
and we had a mouthful of dirt and grass
to chew on Some men might have tried
it again, but we didn't. When we want
anything more in that. line, we'll get in
the way of stampeding herd of steers or
try a timber slide down mountain. Our
friendly feelings for the bikist will under
go no change, but as for the critter itself
we warn it that our guns are loaded, and
we shall take all precautions to protect
ourself.

Unwise william wise.

Colonel Sinclair's wagon train arrived
from the railroad Wednesday afternoon,
and at about O'Clock his honor the may
or, who is ourself, received word frem a
mule whacker named William Wise that
he proposed to capture the town at 6
O'Clock. Mr.. Wise hadn't allowed for any
change in Giveadam Gulch in the last five
years. He figured that things were Just
as they used to. be, when a lone duffer
could ride into town with boot, shoot
right and left with yell and in the course
of ten minutes have the streets to himself
and something to brag about for the rest
of his life. We were ready, in company
with the city marshal, at Eve minutes to 6.
At exactly 6 O'Clock William Wise came
down the river road like cyclone, hair
flying, gun in either hand and a war
whoop on the end of his tongue. At five
minutes after his cayuse was dead in the
road and William was in the town lookup
and wondering where he was at. Next
morning he was fined SIS and his guns
were confscated, and when he walked off
he kept looking behind him and trying to
make out how things had happened that
way. Any other duffer who feels like cap
turing the town is invited to communicate
W it'll us by mail or personal interview.

The lightning Settled 1t.

A gentleman Of Paris Team, who
when in reminiscent mSod can relate
some very interesting incidents, tells
to the Paris Intelligencsr the following
remarkable story:
"Some years ago DIR. B. PEBBLES, of
Henry county, was appointed by the
governor to superintend the running Of
the state line between this state and
Kentucky. One day they were running
a line, which was also the line between
the farms of two neighbors who were
not on the best of terms. The compass
pointed to a very large white oak tree,
and a controversy arose as to whose
property it was. Both men waxed hot
but just as they were about to proceed
to blows there came an unexpected
flash of lightning, the bolt striking the
tree in the top, splitting it into to the
roots, one half falling on one side anC
the other half falling on the other side
Thus did providence settle the question
in dispute, and the men became good
friends.

The proposition to reform a state
constitution will always find objection
among those who fear that their per-
sonal interest may be disturbed. II
such people would come out frankly
and state their true objections they
would have but little force against it.
But knowing this they will be heard to
raise numerous objections, which they
know in their hearts there is but little
in, but which they think will serve to
frighten the people away from their
true interests. They will be heard to
raise the objection of the expense of
the convention, though they know that
the reforms suggested will, if adopted,
in a years time save the state many
times the cost of the convention. They
will suggest that the time is inoppor-
tune, though they know that they have
never seen or will see time that would
be. appropriate to suit their interests,
and that no time is more appropriate
than when the people are suffering and
need relief. Do they mean by "oppor-
tune" time when the people or less
alive to their interests? Is not the
most opportune time for the people a
time when they are alive to public
questions and to their own interests?
Another objection they are heard to
raise is that we may not get the right
sort of delegates. Are they unwilling
to trust the people to elect the dele
gates, and afraid that the peoples dele
gates will not suit them? The selse-
tion of delegates is entirely with the
people and they can choose whomso-
ever they please. They will be heard
to object that partisanship may control
the convention and incorporate ex-
treme measures. Has there been @
time when the two leading political
parties were more nearly together, and
when because of this fact there was less
danger of partisanship? Such an OBJ
lection comes from the man who wants
partisanship, but wants it his way.
Thus it is with the whole line of argu.
ments raised by the obiectors to con-
vention. Sound their true motives and
you will find that in every instance
they are deeply rooted in selfish inter
ests and not in considerations for the
public good. The Sun.

Old COnnle Terribly Tortured.

Osgood, Ind, July 2.-Three mask
ed men broke into the house of J. A.
Bultman, residing eight miles from
here. They told Mr.. and Mrs. Built
man that they had seen them with large
sums of money, and wanted some of it.
The aged couple protested that they
had no money. Mr.. Bultman was
beaten until he was unconscious,
A fire built at the feet of the old lady
and she was treated to other indigni-
ties. At last the burglars gave up and
left, taking two guns with number of
other articles. They turned the horses
out of the barn into neighboring field
to keep huffman from giving the
alarm.
This is the second case of the kind
that has occurred in this county in the
past few weeks.

Woman Struggles With a Mad Dog

st. Louis, July 2.-Mrs. F. G.. Tur-

streets of East st. Louis this afternoon,
when she and Miss Sophia Setenhar
were attacked by mad dog. The ami
NAL ran down the street foaming at the
mouth, and first sssailed Miss Seten-
har, who turned him aside with her
parasol, when it sprang at the throat of
Mrs. Turner and fastened its fangs in
her clothing. She grabbed the dog by
the back of the neck and ears and fore
ed it from her, then threw it upon the
sidewalk and fell with her knees upon
the brute. She held the struggling an
imal in this position until her husband
was telephoned for, and came to the
rescue on a bicycle with a revolver.
The dog was killed. Mrs. Turner's arms

MCKINLEY,
'Tis Said, Playing the Gold Men Of Ohio in
the Interest of Hanna,


the Interest Of Hanna
New York, July "A Washington
dispatch to the Journal says:
President Mckinley is doing all he
can to further the interests of Senator
Hanna for reelection. He played a
trump card in trying to catch the gold
democrats of the Buckeye state with a
little patronage. Mr.. Forman, Of Illi-
nois, in answer to many appeals, will
be retained as commissioner of internal
revenue until the 1st of December.
The announcement was not made until
this time, so that it could have due
weight in shaping the course of affairs
in the contest about to begin in Ohio.
The president and Hanna had to call
Senator Elkins into their councils, for
the position of commissioner of internal
revenue had been promised to Colonel
N. b. Scott, of West Virginia. Elkins
sent for Scott, and suggested that if he
could take little trip it would make
matters look better. Scott remembered
that he had been intending for some
time to take his family to Europe, and
concluded that this was the time. He
will be appointed after December 1.

BROW NL0W
Lands His Man For Marshal of East Tennessee
and Austin is His Name.

Special to the COurier-JOurnal.
Washington, July 9.-The fight over

posed to the appointment of Mr.. Austin
for the reason that he believed it would
seriously interfere with the appoint
ment of his candidate, w. D. Wright,
for the office of Uuited States District
Attorney for the Eastern district.
With the assurance that Austin's ap-
pointment would have no bearing on
the District Attorneyship, Gibson with

comes in the story that Austin could
have been appointed anyhow, Mr.. Glib.
sons opposition to the contrary not
withstanding.
Mark Hanna is the chief dispenser
of patronage for the State of Tennessee.
He made certain promises before the
election, and is carrying out those
promises. Congressman Gibson plans
have been more than once upset. Even
in the matter of fourth class postoffices
he has not had clear sailing A friend
of his stated today that some six OF
seven post offices in his district, includ
in the Knoxville Office, had been inter
