BUroHERED MS CHILDREN.

HARLEM, March 19.-Wright Smith. a
one-legged confederate veteran, went to
Thomson yesterday morning, drew his
pension and went home. He paid some
debts in the neighborhood and then ask
ed his children to go with him to feed
some hogs. For some reason his Oldest,
aigirl of about eight, refused to GO. I'D
He carried the two youngest, both
boys, aged two and four years, to a cot
ton house, where he crushed their brains
out with his wooden crutch and then
sent a pistol ball into his own brains.
He lived for several hours but never
spoke.
An empty laudanum bottle was found
near and che supposition is that he took
the contents before shooting himself.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Retribution has followed the publica.

Mr.. Cleveland, it is said, was furious

Friends of the accused men say that
they did not steal the wine. Their sto-

unlOaded the car found a broken wine
case, and after sarnpling bottle of its
rare contents invited the railroad men
to join him. At any rate, the five rail
road employees, after imbibing deeply of
the wine, became gloriously drunk, and

REMARKS BY A TEXAS EDITOR.

From the Texas Harpoon.
When you ask man to subscribe for
your paper and he says, sob, l am TAX
ing more papers than can read, and be-
sides times are too plagued tight" a
mediately apologize to him for the mis-
take and leave him. Life is TOO short
G teach jackass to sing soprano. All
gentlemen nowadays read newspapers
and lots of them. Show us man who
lives for years in town or county and
never subscribes for the papers published
there and we'll show you man whose
head is shaped like piece of pie with
the point up. A country newspaper is
an Institution that works day and night
for every decent man in the county:
the efore, every decent man is in honor
bound to assist in It's support. The
greatest trouble is that some sWell-head
galoots fancy that they are making the
editor present when they take his pa
per. We have the profoundest symOa-
thy for the man who lives in this country
for years and never subscribes and pays
for his county paper. If that poor fell
low was to encounter an idea in lane
he would turn and fly the other way with
the tail of his garment beating the at
mosphere. Don't waste much time on
such cattl One Of them has not enough
sense TO keep warm in hades.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common water glass
wi tn urine and let it stand twenty-fOur
hours; diment or settling indicates a
disc sed condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urnate or pain in the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order. H.l p
... WHAT TO DO. ata.. st.E
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DR.. Gilmer's Swamp
Root, the great liver remedy fulfills ev-
cry wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inabil-
ity to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following the
use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of bein G
compelled to get up many times during
the night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold By drug
gists; price fifty cents and one dollar per
bottle For a sample bottle and pam
phlet, both sent free by mail, mention

THE REPUBLICAN REMEDY.

| President McKinley's message to
congress, which was convened in extra
ordinary session to consider ways and
means for increasing the revenues OF
the government, was remarkably brief
and confined to one subject. He point
| ed out that since the first year
of Cleveland's administration the
total deficiency in the revenue. Z of
the government had aggregated
1886, 061, $50, the bond debt had in
creased 1862 ,315, 400, and the annual
interest charge had Increased $ll,493,-
Ala.
Mr.. Mckinley had but one remedy to
offer, and of course that was the i'm
mediate passage of a bill increasing
tariff duties on importations and pro-
tecting our home manufactures and
other interests from foreign competi-
ton. H...- #.# .. 8..
There was never more absurd
proposition than the one that a people
can be made prosperous by taxing
them, and the plan of relief suggested
by the president will find but few ad-
vocates outside of the republican par
ty. No sort of protective tariff can
''relieve and encourage agriculture, a"
as is said in the message, and the farm
ers of the south and West-the great
agricultural sections Of the country
will suffer when the Mckinley idea of
prosperity finds expression in laws.
WE have it from the Constitution
that Atlanta was shaken to the core"
while the battle was on between the
big prize fighters at Carson City.
''There was no business in any part Of
the .throbbing town." Everybody
went down to the Kimball to get the
first news Of the fight, and "amid the
hoarse rumble Of excitement in the
Corridors" we are told, "came shrieks
of loyal women, who filled the balconies
and wildly waved their handker-
chiefs" Society was evidently out in
full force, and Brother Sam Jones
must timber up if he would knock the
devi out of Atlanta in fourteen
rounds.

he thought was filled up, his horse

The " ell had caved in at the bottom and
the animal had good standing room.
Peek watered and fed him until next day,
when he secured help, and, by digging
down one side of the well, led his horse
out and hitched him up to the pillow as
