THE PASSING HOUR.

Here's hoping that the earthquake

Hosmer will catch all the tremblers

Perhaps Coligney was lured from the

served another.

best revenge. l want you to catch him
and bury him alive"
Chief Johnson bowed low, and then
all went out. At daylight they re-
turned, and said:
1--WE found Black Horse lying drunk
beside the road, not far from his house,
We woke him and asked him why he
had not come before to the wedding,
and he replied, as you said, that he
sought revenge. So we bound him hand
and foot, took him to the bank OF the
river, dug a hole in the sand and
buried him there alive"
The Indian girl smiled, as though
well pleased. The next day she went
away. AS the neighbors are far apart,
no one knew it, neither did they know
that Black Horse had not come to the
wedding later, supposing, of course, ne
had been delayed.
About a week later party of Kan
sas hunters camped on the banks OF
the Arkansas, near Homing Post
While searching along the banks for
kindling wood, they noticed the sand
being turned up, and Harry Chase,
more curious than the rest, decided
to investigate The result was the
finding Of Black Horses body. HIS
mouth was open and filled with SAND.
His features were drawn and the body
showed evidence of having been COW

Black Horse, a Kaw Indian, was
buried alive near Homing Post, Usage
Nation, Oklahoma, recently, because,
getting drunk he failed to attend his
own wedding. Seven men are in Jail
at Homing Post. charged with the
crime The leader of the gang, Frank
Johnson, white who married an In

of the fact that they can be punished
for It, He said that Black Horse had
deceived an innocent girl and should
be punished.
Many years ago Black Horse, then
handsome young buck, met Miss Thula
Bigheart, the daughter Of ex-Chief Big
heart of the Usage nation. They loved
each other fondly and became engaged.
After that Miss Bigheart went away to
Washington to school. In the mean
time she forgot her Indian lover, and
when she returned last fall to her home
there was Black Horse to greet her,
but for him she had no fond words.
However, as she had promised to be
his bride the date was set and great
preparations were made. The cere-

A Confidence Game

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
The governor himself repeatedly in
sisted, up to the last, that he had neither
committed nor pledged himself, and that
his mind was open. Men who were close
to him, and men who had interviewed him
in the interest of different candidates, re-
ported the same statement up to the day
the appointments were sent in. Intimate
friends Of the governor announced that the
appointments were not determined. and
would be made largely in view of the In
fiuence candidates brought to the passage
of the bill of outlawry of the Jefferson
county commissioners. The grand conf
dence play went on until the fate of that
bill was settled. Then, the diversion hav-
ing subserved it's sinister purpose, the cur
tain is run up, and it Is found that one or
the. appointments had been fixed and
pledged months and months ago, and the
other irrevocably determined at least by the
time the legislature met last November,
if not before. A score of cand dates and
hundreds of friends of candidates, who
sought to gain favor by getting the bill
through find, that they have been contemp-
tuously used, mere puppets, in low game
of politics, and have been the credulous
victims to a foolish belief in statements
put out to trap them. No wonder there is
Indignation. No wonder that men are hui

TWO PROGRESSIVE FARMERS

From the Eufaula Times.
Near White Oak lives the two most
prominent colored farmers of Barbour
county. These are Calvin Bullock and Sol
onion Berry, and each runs ten plows. By
thrift and industry they have attained a
financial independence enjoyed by not too
many white farmers. They have so con-
Quoted their farms with intelligence and
economy that now their places, which ad-
join each other, might be considered mod
els of their kind. The same common sense
that has run their farms successfully
shows them the folly of Accent cotton as
a main crop. They have seen the hand
writing on the wall. This year cotton, by
mutual agreement, Is to be only side
line. The time and attention therefore
given to 1t will be devoted to the raising
OF corn oats and other breadstuffs and
hogs, OF course. Some cotton will be raised,
hut not enough to hurt. These are pushing
and enterprising farmers and the result of
their departure will be watched with in
tereSt.

GARLAND'S CASE OF MUMPS
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

One of the late ex-Attorney- General Gar
lands peculiarities was an intense hatred
for doctors. He used to say that until he
broke his leg he had never paid doc
tors bill or spent a cent for medicine for
himself; that the medical profession was
a humbug; that no man was Ill unless he
abused himself, and that he could becured
by correcting that abuse. But while he
was encouragement he was afflicted by a
swelling of the jaws He got notion that
he had been poisoned in some manner, and
his associates persuaded him to go to a
doctor. The physician looked him over
and remarked:
There Is nothing serious the matter
with you. You have only mild case Of
mumps."
II, mumpsi" exclaimed Mr.. Garland,
in a rage; "I'll be blanked If you know the
difference between mumps and cholera in
fantum"
He stamped out of the office in indigna-
ton, but by the advice of friends remained
in the house two or three days to avoid
catching cold until the swelling had gone
down.

To FIJI n Gap
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register
The state was treated to sensation yes
terday when the governor sent in tho names
of Kyle and Caffee for railroad commits
sioners. Tomlinson, of Birmingham, was
regarded as a sure winner In fact, his
name was announced by his home paper
two days ago as having been selected. This
was afterwards confessed as premature
publication, but not hint was given that
Tomlinson had been turned down. We
regret 1t, for We like Colonel Tomlinson,
and think he has deserved well of a free
silver governor. 1t Is probable, however,
that there was such gap in the governor
political fences that he concluded the
colonel was not big enough to fill 1t; so he
stuffed Kyle into the hole. That is the
way we analyze the situation. and II this
be true Tomlinson must rejoice even in his
displacement, for we can conceive of Moth
ing more glorious than an opportunity for
patriot to sacrifice himself or get sacrificed
for the good of his party-in this instance,

thing

ROLLING MILLS AND SHIP PLATES

From the Providence Journal.
There is something for the advocates of
the ship subsidy bill to ponder in the an
nouncement of the Iron Age that the steel
plate mills in this country are now turn
ing out their product at the most rapid
rate and yet cannot satisfy the pressing
demands of the shipyards on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. Apparently the ships
which are wanting in our merchant ma
rine are being built without hope of earn
ing bounties for their owners. We do not
wish to make too much of the fact referred
to, but there has seldom or never been a
time before when the rolling mills have
been so busy on ship plates, and 1t can sig
Nifty but one thing.

Southern Representation.
Editor

The Boston Transcript has sprung upon
an unsuspecting country political sensa-
ton. 1t claims to have positive informa-
ton that the republican leaders have de-
vised a plan for scaling down the repre-
sentation of the southern states in con-
gress and in the electoral college, taking
advantage for that purpose of the apportion-
ment under the new census. All disfran-
chised male populations are to be excluded
from representation
Any such step would, of course, require
arbitrary action of the reconstruction sort,
for under any constitutional provision that
has been adopted no one can say who has
been or who has not been disqualified An
illiterate man of this year may be a literate
man next year. No one can determine
such questions accurately or definitely, and
