WHEN the report of yellow fever
in Mississippi reached st. Louis the
other day lot of doctors rushed
into print to assure the people that
the city would be protected. As
there has never been an epidemic
of yellow fever west of the Mssis
sippi river we conclude their task
will'be dead easy.

Two brothers, Henry and Kirk
Max, night car inspectors at Pied
mont, are under arrest, charged with
the murder Of Cashier George A.
Witbers on the night of Sept. s.
The state believes that he was as
saulted some two blocks from the
depot while on his way home and
his body hauled in buggy to the
depot and then carried and placed
wherc it was found. Buggy tracks
were traced from where the assault
is believed to have occurred to the
lower end of the yards. The buggy,
belonging to Henry Max, is now in
possession of the state, and the
tracks are peculiar, because
the rear wheel will not exactly
tread with the front one. Blood
stains are found on the wheels.
The prisoners refuse to talk. Mr..
Withers was cashier of the Farm
ers' and Merchants bank at Pied
mont. Henry:sMax is under indict-
ctment, charged with criminal as.
sault. Mr.. Withers had taken con-
siderable interest in the case, rem.
dering what assistance he could to
the girl, who is an orphan, and
only IA years old. Henry Max has
made repeated threats against
Withers.

THE New York World seems to
be surprised that "Mr. Bryan is
still a force to be reckoned with in
national politics." Quite so. What

by means of corruption funds, the
great democratic leader accomplish
es by his conservative and states
manlike methods and the justice of
the peoples cause.

Ill Health Probably The Cause Of The
Awful Leap.

Our good friend j. A. McClelland
Of South Perry, who was hear yes
terday on business in Probate Court,
came hastily into our Office In the
afternoon, announcing that he had
just received telephone message
that his son -in-law, John b. Todd.
who lived near him had committed
suicide by hanging, that his lifeless
body was found suspended by a robe
in the barn. He had seen him q
short time before, and could assign
no cause for the rash deed lest Ill
health had caused dispondency.
Mr.. McClelland and his friends here
were greatly shocked to hear the
sad intelligence, and he lett immedi-
ately for his home. The family of
the deceased missed him shortly
after dinner and going to the barn
the awful fate was revealed to them.
Mr.. Todd leaves wife and several
children to mourn his going to the
great beyond. Mr.. McClelland and
family have the deep sympathy of
theirmany friends here in their sad
bereavement. We will obtain furth-
er information of the unfortunate
affair in our next issue.

J. n. Nye Escapes From Asylum and
Cut His Throat.

j. n. Nye, an escaped inmate OF
the Columbus Insane asylum, COM
mitted suicide in Kemper's woods,
near Thurston, Monday night or
Tuesday morning. His body when
found was being pulled around by
some hogs, and presented an awful
appearance. A large cash at the
throat told the sad tale.
An inquest was held by Squire
Turley and DR.. Heston, after which
the body was removed to an under
taking establishment at Baltimore.
Nye was probably 45 years of age,
and was brother to Mr.. Nye of
Granville.
The coroner decided that the man
had taken his own life by the use of
Barlow pen knife, which was found
on his person. His throat was cut
in two places and large gashes cut on
his arms. 1t is thought the man
has laid in the woods several days.
The following note was found;
II have committed no crime under
Gods high heavens. IN. NYF."

tives at Carbon Hill.
An elegant gold watch was found

Journal Gazette,
1t come from what we consider
good authority that the Democrats
of Hooking and Vinton counties
have decided upon their candidate
for representative in the person OF
Bruce Dollison, editor and proprie.
tor of the Ohio Democrat. We hav,
no harsh words to say of Bruce
He was an ardent supporter of Mr.
Bryan. His paper was the leading
silver organ of the Hooking Val
ley; however, our distinguish ed
contemporary must bear in mind
that the Republicans of Hocki lg
Vinton were never in better con.
dition to win decided victory
than they are now and we can
safely say a Republican will be
elected in these two counties, who
will when the roll is called in the
house of representatives next Jan.
uary cast his vote for Republican
for senator, who has been tried and
never found wanting. When the
votes are counted next November
our friend of the Democrat will be
heard to exclain "Republicans are
ungrateful.

Visited by Mohawk Tribe.

On Monday evening of last week
Tuscaloosa tribe Imp'd q. r. NJ
gave grand Easter ball and wig
wan warming which was one oil
the most successful and most ex-
cellent balls our city has seen. The
committees spared much time and
expense to make the affair grand
success and such il was. The dane
ing crowd and the good people OF
Logan who were in attendance
were delighted with the manner
and conduct of the affair. The
music by Friesner's Orchestra was
especially delightful and the order
received many compliments on the
selection OF such superb arrange
ments. The receipts exceeded the
expenditures fifteen dollars for
which the committee are thankful
to those who kindly assisted.
Last evening Mohawk team
numbering twenty-six from Athens
came on a visit to Tuscaloosa tribe
here, bearing with them a pale face
whom they had captured in the
forest, that Tuscaloosa tribe might
teach him the mysteries of Red
manship. The redskins had
grand time and returned to their
homes on the late train seeming
satisfied with their visit. The pale
face was fullfledged "iDjun" on
his return. The visit was u pleas
ant one and Tuscaloosa asks more
visits n ON Mohawk.

states that he is quite willing to
manage a club IL, the ans will give
him the support.
"Beckey" old boy is still with us
although he has received several
fiattering offers to go with other
clubs but up to this writing he has
declined all offers.
"Grease" Kontner says he will
play and that is the kind of an
answer you will get from all the
boys. Go after them Harry we must
have club, all we need is a hustler
like Sparnon to get them together.
1t seems Lancaster has the same
trouble as we do IN regard to there

they have made no effort towards a
club. To slow, to slow, keep your
eye open, we will have a club, If we
go to the woods for one.
