The Raleigh morning papers contain
scare head story about 700 Populists
in Halifax county having returned to
Democracy. We believe the Populist
vote in Halifax two years ago vas 262.
The Democrats must have cut the 262
up in small pieces in order to get 700
robust voters to j0in the g. o. p. But
But this isn's the first time political
miracles have been performed in that
county. Under the old Democratic
election law they succeeded in making
a Republican M ority of 2, 500 lesolve
itself into q Democratic majority of
, 500 in that county.

and almost every patriotic utterance
and sentiment was cheered to the echo
The band interspersed music during
the remarks, all of which we're of an
temporaneous nature.
After these exercises were concluded
the band marched down the street
followed by crowd, and in few mo-
ments IS young men came marching
back headed by small drum corps and
bugler. They paraded up and down
the street several times and then
formed q circle beneath the American
flag and saluted it. A dozen young
men on horses formed sort of calvary
escort to the infantry, and mum ber of
young ladies and gentlemen formed
another procession on their bicycles,
which were, in many instances, pro-
fusely decorated. The scene was a
lively one for two hours or more. It
was the first public demonstration since
war was declared in which all citizens
took part

A Grand Demonstration Held sway on the
Streets of Mitchell.
Mitchell people demonstrated their
patriotism Friday evening in a manner
that was inspiring to every person who
could secure standing room around the
1mprovised speakers stand, which was
placed in the middle of the street, on
Main and Third, beneath one of the
arc lights. They demonstrated their
approval of the governments course
and their sympathy with the starving
people of Cuba, and beneath lay
spirit of vengeance to even up the dis
aster of the Names accident" At an
early hour of the evening the people
were drawn down town by desire to
hear something new concerning the
war situation, and when the Juvenile
band broke forth in national air foot
steps were quickened by the cheer
after cheer which went up for our flag
and our government. The speaking
commenced at s o'clock, with the band
surrounding the place where the ora
tors stood. DR.. S. r. Moore, DIR. Ed

STARS AND BLUE LODGE.

The Masons were Royalty Entertained by
Their Auxiliary Saturday Night.
An event full of social enjoyment to
the participants occurred ut the Ma
sonic hall Saturday evening, when Star
Light chapter entertained the mem bers
of the oiue lodge at q banquet. Work
in the third degree and the knowledge
of the social part to follow brought out q
large attendance at the meetingyof the
lodge. The work was finished shortly
after 10 o'clock and by that time the
banquet was nearly in readiness. A
good many lady members of the chap
ter we're present to do the gallant to
their paternal organization and a few
moments were spent in social conver-
sation before proceeding to the banquet
hall. Each Masonic brother selected a
lady and to the strains of a march
played by Florence Winsor the COM
pany marched to where the feast
of good things awaited their coming.
Chaplain McDougall offered brief
invocation. The ladies took especial
pains to make favorable impression
on their brethren and decorated the
long table in very handsome manner,
and the beautiful flowers, the dainty
chinaware and the gladstone faces of
the ladies all served to draw forth ex-
pressions of admiration from the gen
tlemen, for the scene was one of those
kind which serve to draw social ma
lures into closer relation. Plates
were laid for 1O5 and it was noticeable
that none were vacant. A dozen mem
bers of the chapter took charge of the
table and served the guests with q
menu that was truly appetizing. and
the dainties of the culinary department
were disposed of under the most pleas
ant conditions. When the various ap.
petites had been fully satisfied order
was called for and Worshipful Master
| Clark, who occupied a seat at the head
of the table, arose aud gave warm ex,
preston of thanks in behalf of the
blue lodge. he congratulated the
chapter on their splendid growth il
membership and hoped to see then
reach the hundred mark before theil
first year was up. He said he voiced
the sentiment of the lodge in wishing
the chapter success in their work. Al
adjournment was then taken to the
lodge room and the balance of tn,
evening until midnight spent in dane
ing. The affair was q most notabl,
success from beginning to end, and re
flected much credit on the ladies TO
the happy manner in which they en-
tertained their parental institution.

Keeping the Record Straight.

Argus-Leader: So far as the record
goes, Mr.. Pettigrew stands in the light.
of having voted against American in
teryention in Cuban affairs, unless such
Intervention should carry with it q
recognition of the Cuban government.
In other words Mr.. Pettigrew voted
that nothing should be done toward
helping Cuba unless it should be done
in the way he favored. If the record is
to be taken as evidence, Mr.. Petit
grew stands opposed to the present
movement against Spain. Knowing
that the president and the house would
never back down. he still voted to have
no Intervention unless it was accom-
panied by recognision-an evident i'm
possibility.

People Out West Will Still Have to Wait
for the Passenger Train.
Several months ago the railroad
commissioners of South Daketa ordered
the Milwaukee company to establish a
passenger train service between Mitch
ell and Chamberlain, q petition having
previously been presented to the COM
missioners asking that such a demand
be made. The case has twice been
argued before Judge Smith, the
first time the railroad company secur-
ing the decision of the court and the
second time the commission coming out
ahead. The last argument was heard
several weeks ago and the Milwaukee
company was allowed until the 25th of
this month to make answer to the then
situation. The case was heard by
Judge Smith Monday evening, Messrs.
Null aud Temple and the railroad com
missioners with Attorney Kittredge
were present to argue the proposition
bofore the court. y
The attorneys for the commission
held in their argument that the rail
road had naught else to do bus comply
with the order they issued compelling
the railroad to establish the passenger
service. Mr.. Kittredge maintained
that the company had right to be
| heard in answer to the complaint, and
to show that the service could not be
maintained without loss to the com
pany. Judge Smith ruled to the effec
that the company could be heard or
that proposition, and as result tn,
| passenger train service will not b.
realized for some time yet. The cas'
will very likely be carried to th,
supreme court for final decision.

Everybody was Excited and Patriotism
Ran High.
Thursday afternoon at 4:15 word was
received in Mitchell that the govern
ment had declared that war existed.
At first the news was doubted, thinking
that some one was trying to work q
joke on the people. No sooner was the
news verified than there was rush
made to run up the American flag.
J. B. Wolgemuth and M. E. Spooner
ran to the court house and with Deputy
Tobin unfurled the flag from the dome,
and they claim the honor Of being the
first to hang up the flag. Down town
two flags were strung across the street,
and then smaller ones were hung out
of windows on the second floors of
buildings, bunting was hung to avn
ings and around the tops OF buildings.
From the west side school houses the
flag was likewise unfurled, also from
the G. A. r. hall.
| In the evening the streets were
thronged with people and the talk of
war was upon every lip. About 10
o'clock between 60 and 10 young men
paraded the Streets headed by two
buglers an6 drum and their music
resounded all over town. When Ma
sonic loage was out 80 or 40 members
increased the throng. The company
gathered beneath the flag across Main
street and speeches. we're called for.
1 Col. J. M. Adams, Rev. Mr.. Durant
and L. E. Whitcher responded. They
made strong and stirring speeches coz
cerning the new situation and their
sentiments were echoed by those who
listened.
4 It was thought to be a proper thing
to have a Cuban flag floating by the
side of it's protector and collection
was taken early in the evening, and
material purchased. The flag was
constructed by Mrs. S. W. Smith, Mrs.
T. j. Spangler, the Misses Wedehase
and few others, and they worked
faithfully and hard to get it done as
soon as possible. It was finished and
hung up Friday morning across Mai1
street, dozen or 80 assisting in the
ceremony. The flag is feet long and
6 feet wide and is beauty. 1t has the
same colors as our own flag, having
three blue and two white stripes, with
q red triangular piece at the top, il
the center of which is white star
and it fioates between two American
flags of smaller dimensions.

Two Republics: One Of the largest audiences of the year assembled at the Indianilla track yesterday to see the much advertised lion bull contest. It is estimated that at least 2500 peo- pie witnessed the combat. The lion was the vanquished in the two fights that were given. The lion started the contest by bounding into the cen ter of the cage and preparing to do battle, but as this beast was tossed to and fro by the bull for few minutes all the fight was taken out of him, and the balance af the combat was very tame. No amount of urging would stimulate the cowed animal to fight and it was evident that the second animal must be introduced to make the sport interesting. Accordingly lion number two was ushered into the cage only to share the fate of it's predecessor.

A MASTERlY RETREAT.
Russia Is Expected to Back Down on the
China Question.

London. Aug. 2s.-The Daily Mails
Pekin correspondent says: NJ. Pavloff,
the Russian charge d'affaires in China,
who has been appointed Russian min
ister TO Corea, will be succeeded by NJ.
De Giers, who is at present accredited
to Brazil NJ. Pavloff's removal is gen.
orally attributed to Great Britain's
sudden change OF policy, the object of
which is to Impress Russia with the ad-
visibility of recognizing our para
mountcy in the Yangste Kiang valley.
The Russian government has been
quite in accord with Great Britain's de-
sire to limit the matters OF sphere of
influence, but when on last Thursday
IL was asked permanently TO respect the
integrity of this sphere IL declined TO
give any guarantee. A prompt demon
stration on the part OF the British fleet
In the Gulf OF Pechilie was a ready an
swer TO this euuivocation.
Now that Lord Salisbury has given a
plain indication OF his plan OF action.
IL is not improbable that Russia will sx-
ecute a mastery retreat from her pres
ent position.
