A LOST BULL.
Disappeared and in His
Place Were Two Tramps.


Conductor Kelly had charge of
south bound freight train out of Ar
kansas City and in one of the cars,
peacefully chewing his cud and Incl
dentany the car braces, was a member
of the bovine family of the male pur-
suasion. He was big ugly fellow and
looked as if he could create consterna-
ton in a Spanish amphitheater full of
picadors. The "cOw brother was in
his car when the train left Arkansas
City but when Guthrie was reached he
was not but in his place were two ''Zu-
lus," or tramps as they are known in
guhernatorial campaigns in Kansas.
What have you done with that bulI?''
demanded Conductor Kelly as the
tramps rubbed their eyes and stared at
him in wonder.
q don't know nothing about no BULL
said one of the tramps in disgust.
Where did you get on?" asked KEEL
ly.
cat this place." said the tramp.
did you see anything of the bull?''
asked Kelly of the other tramp.
mo, 1 didn't see no bull. Perhaps
you think I am a magician and turned
the bull into the other fellow but 1
didn't
The bull has not been found and the
conclusion is that the tramps were
hungry and wanted fresh meat and
got it.

EMMA GOLDMAN TIED Up.
Permitted to Address Striking
Trousers Makers ConditionaIIy.

New York. Feb. 1O-Emma Goldman, ex-
queen of anarchy addressed meeting
of 5000 striking trousers-makers this aft
ernoon. The speech had string tied to
it. Before she was allowed to address
the meeting it was stipulated that she
was not to say word about anarchy.
Miss Goldman has not been before the
public much lately, SO she accepted the
conditions
Miss Goldman then spoke for two hours
in Yiddish. Her speech was a little tame.
She only rises to eloquence when she is
talking to anarchists.

HOPES IT WON'T BE CALLED.
Commissioner of Elections Yount OPP
poses an Extra Session.

Commissioner of Elections L. T.
Yount is strongly opposed to the calling
of an extra session Although an ap-
pointee of Governor Leedy's he states
his sentiments against it. He said: 1T
would be a stroke of very bad policy
for Governor Leedy to call an extra
session. A legislative session at any
time is a thing to be deplored, and es-
peciaIly woul it be unfortunate to have
this extra session. 1t is wrong, and I
hope the governor will not decide to
call it. -

his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. He
had made both demands and threats
on the Mcclellan family. After shoot

son and returned to his farm and 1ortl-
fed himself in his barn.
Officers and a large posse surrounded

AFRAID OF Us.
European Nations IN Dread of Amer
lean Power and Influence.


London, Nov. 12.-The weekly papers,
while they see in Tuesdays election i'm
proved prospects of currency exchange,
regret that the Republican success was
not more pronounced. They express
fear that the results will encourage
continental powers to increase hostility
toward the annexation of the Philippines
by the United States although they
doubt that there viii be any more ser
iOus intervetion than acrimonious
protests, as the powers are aware that
Great Britain would not allow the
United States to be OverbOrne by a hos
tile coalition"
The Spectator says:
THE statesmen of the continent uni
versauy fear the advent of the United
States in European politics. They can
not rid their heads of the idea, that if
they stand together. as when they CO.
creed Japan, America will similarly
yield But their representations at
Washington are likely to irritate the
national pride of the Americans leading
to a universal support of President
Mckinley in a reply, which, however,
moderate in tone. viii in effect be a
clear defiance. The excessive fear felt
of an AnglO-Saxon alliance is shown
by the fact that the whole continent
sees in Lord Salisbury's Guild hall ref
erence to America, all manner of me-
naCeS."

DEWEY HAS NO PICTURE
But Promises to Have Some Taken at

Chicago, Nov. 12-Admiral Dewey has
acknowledged the compliment paid to
him by the board of education in hav-

named after him. A letter has been re-
ceived from the admiral in which he
thanked the members of the board for
what they had done for him, not only
in naming a school building after him,
but in setting aside a special day in
which the children may pay him honor.
Trustee Sherwood wished to have a
large portrait of the hero of Manila
adorn the school and asked the admiral
to send his photograph. The letter is as
follows:

opportunity of carrying arms, which re-
cent events afforded, and who are doing

NO INTERFERENCE.
The Federal Government Will Keep
Out of the Carolina War.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Except in the
unlocked for event of recurrence OF
the race riot in the Carolinas, it is al
together improbable that the govern
Zuent Will interfere by force, or other
wise.
The attorney general had another con-
ference with the president this morning
in regard to the matter and the conclu-
sion was promptly reached that as the
demonstrations were not directed
against the collector of customs in the
performance of his duties, as such the
government had no authority under the
constitution, or laws to exercise its fed
eral authority.
Collector ToIbert was shot while away
for his home and on business entirely
disconnected from that of the Office and
under these circumstances the govern
ment it is said, has not a shadow of a
right to interfere If the collector had
been shot in the discharge of his Off
cial duties and in an effort TO enforce
the laws Of the United States, the case
would have been very different and the
duty of the government would have
been clear In the present case, how
ever. it is said, the lawleSs acts of the
mob were not directed against the exc
cuUiOn of the laws of the United States
but against the individual The case
would have been the same had TOlbert
been shot on the highway by a rObber.
Administration officials have no SYM
pathy with the Carolina rioters and re-
gard their acts with adherence but up
to this time, it is said, there is no evil
dence that would warrant an interfer-
ence by the government. The attorney
general last night. sent the following
telegram to the assistant United States
attorney at Anderson, near Phoenix,
s. c.:
Ernest F Cochran. Assistant Z. s.
Attorney. Anderson, S. C-:-YOu will at
once take energetic steps, incuring the
necessary expense to ascertain the eX,
act situation in Greenwood and adjOin-
ing counties and report the same inme-
diately by wire to me. with a view of
advising me whether any such cOndi-
tfon of insurreCtiOn, or disturbance eX-
lists as justifies the federal authorities
in interfering to suppress it.
JOHN W. GRIGGS
Attorney General.
To which the following response has
been received:
Attorney General, WashingtOn:-My
information is much riOting near Green
wood and Phoenix Tuesday and We'd
nesday Several negroes killed and
wounded. One white man killed and
several wounded. Thursday there was
also some riOting, but condition Quieter.

though community very much excited.
From all information have, / think

they are now all safely out of their
reach Intense excitement still pre-

consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. 4 friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
