From Catawba County Were Locked up
in New York Because Found in
Place They Hadn't Orter' to Have
Been.
Hickory, n. c., March 20.-(SpeciaD-
Three youths, fresh from the bosom of
Catawba, recently went to New York
to purchase goods and incidentally to see
the great city and the glory thereof. One
night they took occasion to visit the
Hay Market Theatre, of which Mr..
Corey is proprietor. They were charmed
with the picturesque scenery and the
VERGE of the performance. But their
dream of happiness was not destined to
last, about ten O'Clock a connection
arose. One of the youths became excited
and shouted fire, another suggested that
the floor had given way, but the appear
ance of blue coats at the front and rear
entrances made the mystery plain. This
theatre is in the district of the mighty
Chapman of Seely Dinner fame.
The great Chapman made a sudden at
tack upon the Hay Market with eighty
policemen, carried the stronghold without
a struggle and captured upward of five
hundred prisoners. Among them were
J0e three yOuuuS ITUIl SdCd Dd' All Iut
captives were slowed away in ambul-
ances, filling twenty-seven vehicles, and
were Hospitality entertained in stone cells
for the night. The Catawba delega
ton, after discussing the advisa bility of
telegraphing to Judge Hoke for writ of
habeas corpus, fell asleep on the soft
side of bench. The next morning the
prisoners were ushered before the police
justice and the roll was called. 1t then
appeared that in the assembly there were
forty John Smiths Blamed if we

tered under the unusual name of big
Fool" What did you mean by register
ing under such a name as thatw de-
manded the justice looking severely at
Mr.. Big Fool "Well," responded the
culprit, that's the way felt last night"
The justice upon investigation having
discovered that the defendants had COM
mitted no offence, admonished them not to
do so any more and discharged them. The
representatives from Catawba took the
first train for home and hereafter it will
be hard to entice them to New York
until they learn that Chapman rides on
his raids no more.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Btters i'm.
proves the appetite, aids digestion, and is
pronounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC. or 100 per
bottle at any drug store.

Austin, Tex Jan. 22.-The
following bill offered by Rep

favorably reported to the
House:
A bill to be entitled an act
to amend Article 5o43k of the
Revised Statutes of 1895, re
lating to the live stock sani-
tary commission and the move
ment Of livestock hereunder.
Be It enacted by the Legs
lature of the State of Texas:
Section I. That Article
5o43k be and the same is
amended so as hereafter to
read as follows:
Article 5o43k. Any quaran
tine line that may be fixed by
the live stock sanitary commits
sion against Texas or sPlenetic
fever, shall be SO fixed as to
conform to the Federal quar-
antine line established, or that
may be established by the
United States Department OF
Agriculture.
Sec. 2. The fact that there
is serious question of the pow
er of the live stock sanitary
commission to establish a quar-
antine line in conformity with
the line established by the
United Department OF Agricul
ture, and unless such line is
established the entire State
may be quarantined by the
United States authorities and
incalculable injury done to the
cattle interest of Texas, creates
an imperative public necessity
and an emergency exists that
the constitutional rule requir

put on its third heading and
final passage, and that the act
take effect and be in force from
