Alters Hanging Round.

II Mamie hadn't trudged with me the
weary way to school,
When we were children, mebbe now I
wouldn't act the fool,
AM keep Ii thinkin' how 'twould bc to
settle down in life,
With jos Il little farm to till, an Manic
as my wife! ...
But scein' how she ust to let me carry
all her books, 4
An even now shc smiles at me with
mighty meanin' looks,
AS If to say: "Why don't you speak?"-
I'd do it, IN be bound!
If Mumic's little brother wasn't alters
hangin 'round.
She's Squire Taylor's daughter, an the
squirc's folks, you know,
How knowed our family, kith an kin,
for forty years or so.
A score Of Browns (that's my name)
have in matrimonial yOkcs
Been hitchcd in generations back with
some Of Taylor's folks.
An SO it seems providence thet never
pIouS amlSS.
Had calkerlutcd her an me should live
in welded bliss,
AM feelin' thus I'd sure propose, an
bravely stan my ground,
If Mamie's little brother wasn't alters
hangin' round.
A sittin' in the parlor, on Sabbath
cv'niu' say,
An Mamie lookin' at me in q half
expectant way,
| brace m. self to tell her all the little
stories old,
When Tommy peeps in on us so mis-
chevous like an bold!
An then my tongue goes limpin' long
the lane NV idle speech
AM ev'rything l meant to say gifts
clear beyond my reach.
The words might be remembered, er
some other words be found,
II Mumie's little brother wasn't alters
hangin' round.

1t Is settled now that there shall be
war with this country and Spain. How
long such u war will last is mere mat
ter OF conjecture and much depends on
the result OF the first battle.
We had hoped that TIC differences
might have been settled without war
but that seems impossible. The Prcsi-
dent has signed the resolutions and an
ultimatum has been sent to Spain to
Withdraw her troops from Cuba. This
she will not do without u struggle. AS
to the final result there can be no doubt
Cuba will be free. but what we fear is
that we will have trouble in keeping
her free from internal strifcs.

We judge from reading our prohibit
tion exchanges that the prohibitionists
feel that they have put Secretary Of
State Tompkins and State Treasurer
Zimmerman in hole. We arc more
convinced than ever that the placing
OF these gentlemen on the Prohibition
ticket was game of politics and
yet we do not see how it is to help the
Prohihitionists. OF course Mcssrs.
Tompkins and Zimmerman will not
object to receiving prohibition votes
but ut the same time they arc known
as advocates and friends of the dispcn-
slry. Then the question still remains
why were they put on the ticket at
all and without their knowledge? 1t
may all 'clcar up rs the campaign
opens.

Status IL Viewed
THE State, 2lst.l

Yesterday DR.. Zimmerman was asked
about his position in regard to the
placing Of his name on the ticket sur.
gested by the Prohibitionists. DR..
Zimmerman said he simply wished it
understood that he was not fuctional
candidate. His Office was entirely nom
political in character. Everybody pref
ty we'll knew how he stood, and that
was oil there was to it. If the Prohi-
hltlonlsts were not going to notify those
named on the ticket officially be could
see no occasion for declinations.
A leading Prohibitionist Yesterday
said that Col. Tompl1ins' announced
preference for the dispensary system
made no difference; If prohibition
law was enacted he felt sure that Col.
IOmpki~ or any other man on the
ticket Would use his best endcavois to
see 1t enforced. Col. Tompkins said
that he would certainly do this. Thus
the5matter rests.

petition is being circulated in
Newbcrry and other towns asking the
board OF visitors OF the Citadel to REIN
state the cadets who were recently cx-
PEELED for INSTRUMENTATION. The petit
tion is being signed by nearly every
body. 1t Is IL rare thing for any one to
refuse to sign petition. We would
he very glad to sec the young men re-
instatcd. 1t seems to us, however, that
they arc going about it in the wrong
way. If tnrSr young men desire to be
rcinstatcd they should themselves make
petition in their own behalf, acknowl-
cdging their wrong, aud promising obc-
dience to the proper authorities in the
future. We do not see how the board
Of visitors could take action on any
thing else. For them to do otherwise
would DC to acknowledges they had
made mistake, which we have no idea
they will do. They could not. And
We say this regardless OF Cadet Can
tcy. The young men who were cXpc led
were in rebellion against the uuthori-
ties Of the institution, and the board of
visitors cannot reverse their action on
the petition Of citizens except it hc ac-
companicd by petition and apology Of
tho expelled cadets II the young men
arc willing to acknowledge their error
and promise obedience in the future,
the board Of visitors would then huvo
occasion for action and something on
which to act.

Tho Democratic clubs arc called to
meet tomorrow to elect delegates to Il
county convention to be held on the
first Monday in May. There should be
a full attendance at those club meet
ings. The war talk should not friuhtcn
anybody or cause any one to lose inter-
est in local and State matters. 1t is
important at your club meeting to send
good men to the county convention and
they in turn should send good men to
the State convention. The State con-
vention has nothing Of special impor-
tancc before it, but there is no limit to
lts power ~ state executive commit
tee is to be elected, but they are always
suggested by the several counties.
There can and may be amendments
proposed to the party const. tion, and
then VIC have heard it intimatcd that
in view of war the convention mrht
decide that it was best not to have n
campaign and primary this summer
and so to end the whole matter the con-
Ventlon would just go to work and
nominate full State ticket taking
some OF the candidates of all the fac
tions.
We hardly think that will be done
though it is within the range of possi-
bility. At any rate it is the duty OF
members of the local clubs to have their
eyes open and start the ball rolling in
the right direction. \ convention
would not be so bad thing, but it
would be bad thing to take snap judy
ment such as nomination by this con-
vention would he.

VICTIMS OF LIGHTNING.
Many Deaths Are Reported During
storms in Frnnce-Heat
Extreme.

Paris, Aug. 22.-The almost tropical
heat which has been experienced here
for some days was increased Sunday,
and many deaths and sunstrokes are
reported. Thunder storms are report
ed in some districts in France, and
many persons were killed by lightning.
A storm at Rouen lasted IL hours. Dur
ing the storm 40 houses were struck.
In one instance lightning struck a
barn, setting il on fire, and killing a
number of horses it contained. In
many places in northern France much
damage was done to life and property.
Ten deaths have so far been reported,
and many persons were injured. The
drought is becoming serious, and if it
continues Paris VIII be compelled to
resort to the use of water from the
Seine.

VICTIMS OF FIRE.
Two Hotels at Hot Springs, Ark, Burn
Three Guests Perish I'm
the Flames.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. ga fire
which resulted in the loss of two ho-
tells, livery stable and several pri-
human lives started in the National
hotel at three o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The identified dead are: Abe
Matthews, Greenville, Miss; w. II.
Wills, Randolph county Ark, and Mr..
Hughes, Tulsa, IT. Among the serious
ly burned are Mrs. Eula Jeffreys, a
visitor from the Indian territory, and
Patrolman Wiley, of the local police
department. \ dozen or more were
more or less injured, and it is believed
by some of the guests and employees
of the hotel that more lives were lost
and that when search is made in the
ruins several bodies will be found.
The property destroyed was the Ma
tional hotel, three-story structure,
and two cottages Immediately adjoin-
ing; the Kentucky livery stable and
the Windsor hotel. The fire originated
in the National hotel, and before it
was discovered one entire side and the
top of the building was in flames and
the roof ready to collapse. The guests
were aroused by the intense heat, to
find the building falling in upon them
and the stairway leading to the first
floor, which was their only means of
escape from the second and third sto-
ries, burning fiercely. The sleeping
apartments were confined exclusively
to the upper floors, and the guests
found themselves hemmed in in a veri
table death trap, with no hope of es-
cape except by jumping from the win
dows. Mr.. Hughes jumped from the
third story to the sidewalk and died
In few minutes. Mr.. Matthews at
tempted to reach the first floor by the
stairway, but was so badly burned that
he died Sunday morning at eight
o'clock after suffering great agony.
The charred remains of Mr.. Wills were
found in the smoking debris. The body
could not be identified, but it is said
that an examination of the hotel regis
ter showed that guest by that name
ic the only person not accounted FOR
In the National.
The shrieks of the imprisoned guests
pierced the hearts of those who were
aroused by the alarm. 1t was impossi-
bic to rescue any of the imprisoned
persons, so rapid was the progress of
the fire. Those who escaped jumped
from the windows in their night
clothes, barely getting out with their
lives, and one or two of these are Sc
verely injured and one is expected to
die. ~ statement from a man who
escaped from the building confirms
the belief that other lives were lost.
He said that there were two men,
strangers to him, occupying the room
he was in. and he believes they were
burned to death. The furniture of the
Windsor hotel was all destroyed, but
so far as known no lives were lost
there. Several men were overcome by
heat during the progress of the fire.
The financial loss will reach $4,000,
with insurance of about $4,000.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. ga special
to the Tribune from Gaylord, Mich,
says: A sailboat containing eight peo-
pie, three men and five women, was
caught in a squall Sunday afternoon,
capsized, and two people were
drowned. The dead are: Teeter Cres-
ka, aged IS, and Allie Stott, aged IS. A
sudden puff of wind struck the boat
and this was followed by a sharp
squall. A panic ensued, and before
the sails could be let down the boat

day school picnic was being held at
Otsego lake, and the sailboat party

MAY RETALIATE.
Puerto Ricans Eager to BE Revenged
for Recent Massacre by
Spaniards.

Ponce, Puerto Rico, Aug. 10 delayed
in transmission.).- IA war of retalia-
ton against the Spanish residents of
the island within the American lines is
Observation-Disclosures for the horri-
BILE outrages committed by the Spanish
troops at GALES, where over so persons
are said to have been machetted by
the soldiers. The revolving details of
the butchery Of men and women, the
ravishing of young girls and nameless
mutilations have stirred cry for ven
geance.
Early this morning the natives
burned the town of Gotta, seven miles
from here. The Spanish residents fled
for their lives. Throughout the sur
rounding country the Spaniards are
terror-stricken and are appealing to
the Americans for protection. The
shops kept by Spaniards here, which
were opened after the signing of the
peace protocol, have been closed again
through fear of the rioters. Capt.
Evans, the provost marshal, with two
companies of the Nineteenth infantry
at his command, has doubled the pro-
vost guard, but the Spanish have diff
Guilty in preventing the individual cases
of persecution.
