regained partial consciousness and some
hope is entertained in her case If she
lives she will be disfigured for life, one arm

other and one eye being entirely gone Those
best acquainted with Clark do not expect
him to be taken alive, He Is well known
as desperate character and one having
a very unenviable reputation. He is also
recognized a crack shot.
Sheriff Harrington, who has been in pur-
suit of Clark, has sD9ehrned 10 Armour and
reports that Clark was seen at White Swan

hill above the White Swan ferry and
shouted to the ferryman TO find out when he
could cross the Missouri river. The ferry
man replied, TN about an hour" upon
which Clark turned his horse about and
rode away. He was next seen on Thursday,
when he appeared about five miles below
the agency and tried to employ an Indian
to take him across the river. The Indian,
suspecting his man, refused and reported
the incident at the agency. Clark stayed
in the thicket at the mouth of Choteau
creek that night and was driven out on
Friday by the sheriff and a party of In

Washington: All volunteer organizations
here desire muster-out at San Francisco.

The cable message of General Otis regard
ing the wishes of the volunteers was in re-
gard to specific inquiry by the War de-
partment based on its declared policy of
having each volunteer organization elect
whether 1t should be mustered out at San
Francisco at its home station.
1t appears from General Otis statements
that the volunteers desire to disband at San
Francisco in accordance with the original ar
rangements of the government. A model
camp has been established at San Francisco
provided with every facility for the comfort
and convenience of the returning soldiers
1t has been deemed advisable from sanitary

The South Haters of that Stc,ion are

Quitman, Ga, Aug 9-At the meeting
of the Georgia State Agricultural Socie-
ty here today the race problem came
prominently TO the front as a topic of dis
cussion. Hon. Pope Brown, President
of the Society, an extensive and pros
porous planter of the State, asserted that
the white man and the negro are at the
parting of the ways and said the former
should assist the latter in his efforts to
leave this country
That portion of his annual address on
the negro question was loudly applaud
ed. In this connection he was also bold
and unequivocal in declaring that the
South should stop toadying to the north
Mr.. Brown said in part:
1t is between the white people of the
South and the negroes of the South. The
South haters of the North are at the
bottom of all the trouble and we need
not hatter ourselves that those South
haters are few and far between. There
are plenty of them. In my opinion the
majority of them have no use for us
except when they think they are making
something out of u.s. Mr.. Thurber OF
New York rendered us a great service a
few days ago by telling us exactly what
he and his people think of us | think
it lis time we were letting them alone
Quit running after them. Then quit
toadying to them. The small politician
also causes friction between the races.
by submitting every question of county.
municipality, and State to white prima.
ry this trouble could be averted and bet
ter government would be secured in all
! cases.
The leaders of the negro race are
preaching discomfort, and whether the
scheme of colonization is practical or not
| am not prepared to say, but | do be-
lieve that it is to the interest of the
people of the South to aid and abet the
negro in his efforts to leave us. few
days ago when certain prominent citi,
zens were called on by the press to say
how we should protect our families
against certain crimes, there was re-
Spouse that seemed to meet the approval
of the press. 1t was this: Make a
miniature arsenal of every country home
