Quitman, Georgia. Mother Commits a
Terrible Crime.
Quitman, Ga, Aug. 11.-Fishermen
discovered the body of 6-year- old boy
floating on the surface of pond near
this place and later identified it as the
son of Mrs. Idella Powell Banks, a
widow, owning farm just outside of
Quitman.
The actions of the mother when mott
fed of the discovery aroused the suspi-
cions of the coroner and she was subse-
quently arrested and placed in Jail.
Here she was visited by minister, to
whom she confessed having murdered
her child. The reason she gave was
that he was too ugly to be permitted to
live, and was constant source of en-
barrassment to her on that account.
She said that she walked by the pond,
and when she tried to push him in he
resisted with all his feeble strength.
She broke down completely in Jail, and
says she wants to be hanged as soon as
possible. The child's face was dis
figured by birthmark.

JACK HAMBLET ARRESTED

will Be Tried in Long Creek for the
Murder of Benjamin Gammany.
Long Greek, Or, Aug. 1O.-Jack
Hamblet, arrested in Boise City, Idaho.
last week, and for whom requisition
papers have been applied by Sheriff
Livingstone, of this county, will be
tried for the murder Of Benjamin
Gammany, whom he killed in an alter
cation at dance at Rock Creek on the
morning of February %, 1894. The
circumstances of the killing are as fol-
lows: Jack Hamblet, who lived in the
mountain, and was considered quarrel
some and dangerous character, was
called to order during the night of the
dance by Gammany, who was floor man.
ager. Hamblet resented the interior
ence, and, using abusive language, the
two men came to blows. Gammany,
who was considerably the smaller, was
getting the best of the fight, when
Hamblet drew his pistol. The pistol
was taken from him and the men sepa-
rated. Everything was again compar-
atively peaceable until about 8 O'Clock
in the morning, when Hamblet renewed
the quarrel by asking Gammany to step
outside with him. Gammany COM
piled, and no sooner had the two men
reached the outside when Hamblet
turned and fired. The shot struck
Gammany's left wrist, and, ranging to
the elbow, entered the body. With
his death wound, body bent, and hands
crossed on his breast, Gammany ran
back into the room. Hamblet fol-
lowed him, and, reaching over his
shoulder, sent another ball into his
brain.
Then, defying any one to arrest him,
Hamblet mounted his horse and rode
away. Armed parties started after
him, but he got into the mountain
fastness, and eluded all efforts to cap
ture him. Before leaving the dance
hall Hamblet made the remark that
Gammany was his fourth man.

Democrats Disappointed.

There are good many disappointed
people in Washington just now, also
several in other parts of the country.
The cause of their disappointment is
in the developments following the en-
actment of the new tariff law. The
hope of the Democratic leaders was
first to befog the atmosphere with their
cries about trusts and especially the
sugar trust, and second, to show that
the new law was no revenue producer.
In both cases they seem likely to be
disappointed. Certainly their effort to
make the Dingley bill as it became a
law advantageous to the sugar trust as
compared with the Democratic law
which it repealed. was an absolute fail
ure Nobody believes that; the men
who made the assertion do not believe
it themselves; in fact they know bet
ter. Now it seems likely that they are
to be disappointed in an opportunity
to complain of the new law as a reve-
nue. producer. 1t is certainly starting
! off in way which surprises its enc
mics and delights its friends. In the
few days in which it has been in opera
tion, the customs rates under it have
been very satisfactory, far in advance
of those under the Wilson law in q
corresponding period of its history.

Valley, Neb., Aug. ia grading

skeletons. All the bodies were in a
good state Of preservation, and were
evidently buried with their clothes on
and without collins. Five were fe-
males. The bodies had probably been
in the ground Is or 30 years, but no
resident of the locality can recall any
burying ground located here, nor does
rumor relate of anything in the past
that will account for the presence of
the skeletons. The bodies were covered
with only few feet Of earth, and were
placed in a large trench. Apparently
the skeletons are those Of white people.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam-
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for Cir

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins . Company's Review
OF Trade.

Downing, Hopkins Compsny's Review
or Trade.
The short sellers of wheat have but
a single argument left to support their
views. viz: The admitted fact that the
wheat crop Of this country will be at
least 100, 600, 900 bushels larger tnan
that of last year. The current news
during the week has been extremely
bullish and developments have materi-
ally strengthened the position OF spec
ulative buyers. Probably the most mn
portant announcement was Beerbohm 9
estimate placing the European shortage
compared with last year at 224, OOo, Ooo
bushels. This has been emphasized
and confirmed by the active cash de-
mand and enormous sales for export.
An additional aid in enhancing values
has been furnished by the farmers
stacking their wheat at a greater ex-
tent than usual. Should the coal min
ers' strike continue a fortnight longer
it will prove powerful, although I'M
natural, factor in enhancing values,
and in all probability result In more
serious congestion of the market for
September delivery than has prevailed
for July contracts. The promise OF an
abundant wheat crop in America, the
absence of competition in supplying
the requirements of importing coun-
tries, and the consequent increased ex-
port demand for American wheat, all
tend to benefit the American farmer.
Wheat will prove profitable purchase
on all reactions and the general tend
ency is toward a still higher range OF
values.
The American visible this week shows
q decrease of 1874, 900 bushels, and now
totals 1850, 900 bushels against 49,
429, 900 year ago. There is much to
be said regarding both sides of the corn
market, but after all is said it is still a
fact that values are extremely low-due
to panic and overproduction. The
growing crop is not yet assured, and
with the enhancing values ruling for
wheat compared with producing years,
the increasing activity in general trade,
corn must participate to greater or
less extent in the general improvements,
according as the crop promise to be
above or below that of last year. In
any event, present values promise to be
we'll maintained, and there is little
if any inducement for speculative short
selling. Should the growing crop meet
with any mishap much higher values
will quickly obtain.
