FRENCH SYMPATHY.
The journal Des Debats Asserts That 1t
Is With the United states.

Paris. MAY 16.-The Journal des
Debats, in the course of a long article
to-day. reflects the anxiety experienced
In government circles here respecting
the feeling aroused by Frances open
sympathy with Spain. IL says:
The whole affair is a misunderstand-
ing. French opinion at the outset of the
war certainly regarded the United States
as in the wrong and some of the pa
pers expressed this opinion i'm an ag-
gressive tone. The Americans. how
ever, should not have taken the ma tier
trsgically for. of all foreigners. our
natural sympathies are with the United
States and our government through
out has acted most correctly"
After charging Great Britain with be-
ing at the bottom Of the mischief and
declaring that IL is Americas own busi-
ness IL she decides to interfere in dis
tant affairs, the article concludes.
What concerns us. is that America
should not. i'm taking up the great role
Of international domain. start with pre-
conceived ideas against US and denounce
the good understanding with France
which has been so useful in the past
and which Is still more desirable in the
future. The French nation was never
really hostile to the Americans. who
will realize this when the present fric-
ton has had time TO disappear"

Terrible Punishment Of Il Horrible
Crime.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. s.-A
special to the Gu.cttc from Fort Smith.
Ark, says:
Justice in IL more horrible form than
was metea out &c Henry Smith, at
Paris, Tex, was administered by Il
mob on the Oklahoma border Friday
night to j. Marcus McGeiscya :. Pal
mer Simpson, two Seminole Indians.
They were charged with murder, their
victim being Mrs. Jackson Simmons,
a respectable farmers wife, living in
Oklahoma. The crime was most re-
voting one, and the criminals were
punished in II most revolving manner.
Mrs. Simmons was outraged and muir
dercd the body was horribly mutila-
ted the crime resemblcd in atrocity
those pcrpetratcd in the Greek nation
by the famous Buck gang, the mesn-
hers Of which were hanged ut Fort
Smith two years ago.
The murder and mutilation Of Mrs.
Simmons so enraged the ncighborhood
that nearly the entire population turn
ed out to hunt down and punish the
guilty parties. The trail led the posse
to the home Of MEG cisey, near Maud,
a small town IN the Seminole nation,
where McGciscy and Simpson wero
arrested
After securing their prisoners the
mob set fire to McG'ciscy's house and
barn, and did not leave until they saw
all Of his earthly possessions reduced
to ashes.
The prisoners we're tEcn carried
back across the line into Oklahoma
Territory, and near the scene of their
crime. where they were executed by
Judge Lynch order in the most hor-
riblc manner that human minds and
hands could devise.
They were burned at the stake.
The Indians met their doom with
the usual stoicism Of their race. AZ
ter life was extinct the mob allowed
the fires to die out and they hurr;cdly
dispersed to their several homes.
No secret was made of the fact that
the Iu1iuns mad been burned to death
and this morning their charred bodies,
burned beyond recognition, were found
lying in the houses Of their funeral
pyre.
Everybody in the vicinity seems to
know that the Indians were executed
for the murder of Mrs. Simmons, but
everyone appears to be entirely igno-
rant of the individuals who composed
the mob
Information was received here of
the terrible affair from persons who
saw the charrcd bodies Of the Indians.
Great uncasiness exists along the
Oklahoma border, and the impression
prevails that much more bloodshed
will follow the work of the mob.

a isorror In East Tennessee.

KNoxvILLE, Tenn, January Ga
special from Grcenville, Tenn, says:
The most horrible and shocking crime
which this little town mas ever seen
was the determination Of the entire
family of Capt. A. W. Carter, an ex-
Federal officer, last night, the hour
not being known.
Capt. Carter, while temporarily in-
sane, Drained his egcd wife with an
axe and then with the same weapon
inflicted wounds upon his daughter
which caused her death to-day. Af-
ter committing this terrible deed Capt.
Carter with an old revolver shot him
self. The only other inmate Of the
house was Walter Gass, aged IA years.
The boy was asleep upstairs, but
about 3 o'clock this morning was
awakened by groans, and upon inves-
tigation found the terrible state Of af-
fairs as above related. The young
lady was in dying condition and
never recovered. The boy gave the
alarm and to-day the town has been
wild. Capt. Carter's mind has for the
past three years been unbalanced, !,
caused by the death of daughter.
He was considered one Of the best
citizens Of Greene County. At the
time Of his death he was, commander
Of Burnside Post, No. 8, G. A. r.
He was captain of company OF cav
airy in the 1st Tennessee Volunteers.

About ten days ago, however. the

Machinery and Modern Farming.

The smallest Implement upon big wheat farm is blow. And from the blow to the elevator-from the first operation in wheat farming to the last
 -one is forced to realize how the spirit of the age has made itself felt here and has reduced the amount of human labor to the minimum. The man who blows uses his muscle only incidentally in guiding the machine. The man who operates the harrow has half dozen levers to tighten his labor The "sower who goeth forth to sow, '' walks leisure ly behind drill and works brakes. The reaper needs a quick brain and quick hand, but not necessarily Q strong arm nor a powerful back. He works sitting down.
 Tine thrashers are merely assistants to a machine, and the men who heave Che wheat into the bins only press but tons. The most desirable farmland Is not the fellow who can pound the "mauling machine' most lustily at the county fair. He is the man with the cunning brain who can get the most work out of machine without break ing it. The farm laborer Ill the west to- day, where machinery is employed, finds himself advanced to the ranks of skilled labor and enjoys 8 position not widely different from that of the mill- hand in the east. Each is a tender of 8 machine.-William Allen White in Scribner's.
