the Allen family at Popular Springs.
De Kalb County, tonight, and did kill
three members. His victims were Dix

Flanagan is SAID to have been in love

State and its purely American laborers.
c. H. Lang, representing the rattan
manufacturers of the Wakefield Rattan
Company of Massachusetts,, asked for
a duty of five cents per pound on all
manufactures of rattan not further ad-

pound ON chair cane and other prod,
Lcts of rattan split and sawed for man

clause providing for the free entry of

eliminated and that a duty be placed
on them.
I. c. Wagner of New York protested
against the inequality in the present
specific rates of duty on cigar labels,

He would later submit rates that he
would suggest.
John Norris of New York said that

price at about 21a cents per pound,
where it could be made and sold at 134

AUSTIN (Tex.), Dec. 31-Countv
treasurer A. j. Jernigan shot himself
and inflicted a wound from which he
will undoubtedly die. The shooting was
a deliberate attempt at suicide and
took place in his office.
Some time ago the colored porter of
the County Courthouse came to him
with story of buried Mexican gold.
Some oolored friends of the porter had
let him into the secret They claimed
to know the exact spot where the gold
was buried, and said that it was in the
vicinity of the city
They asserted that the gold was of
almost fabulous value and told a plaus-
ible story of their inability to make use
of 1t themselves. The offered to sell
their secret to the janitor for $4,000.
This amount was wholly beyond his
ability to raise. and for a while nego-
tiations ceased. Finally, however. he
brought up the subject, and then was
told to find out how much he could
raise. 1t was at that time he broached
the matter TO Jernigan and got him in
terested.
Jernigan had no money of his own
but he was so firmly convinced of the
existence of the Mexican treasure that
he took $4 500 out of the county funds
and gave it to the janitor, expecting to
be able to return 1t within a few days
From other sources the janitor secured
$4,000, and the whole amount was paid
to the sharpers who had originated the
story and who promptly disappeared
Jernigan was badly broken up by the
affair. He was worried about it as the
end of the year approached knowing
that the shortage must soon become
known. Finally when discovery was
close at hand he shot himself.
SHOT HIMSELF.
