Current Events.

The count proceeds in old Kentucky
and 1t looks like the Republicans win.
In Nebraska there is a sick Senator
and they talk OF Bryan in the event Of
a vacancy.
The war is active in South Africa.
The British seem to have the advan-
tage. Much bravery is exhibited and
u spirit of ~chivalry seems to animate
both sides. The chevalier Bayard
seems to be the cxemplar Of the CON
%testants. That is to say-when a fell
low Is %decently blown up with q shell
they gather up the remains, incase
in rosewood, smother in violets, and
send proper regrets to wife, mother
and sisters. The Beers should win,
but the chances are 1000 to | against
them.
In Alabama Senator Morgan and
Governor johnson are %canvassing the
State for United States Senator. Sym
pathy goes out to the patient listeners
In our little State the war for the
present is confined to Sellers, in Ma
rion county. There has been some
blood. One party charges that in the
late encounter the other was clad in
jackets OF steel. The press of the State
is threatened with further revelations
on these troubles.
Congress %convenes on Dec. 4th. Since
the 4th OF March Mckinley has car
rled the fortunes of the country in his
vest pocket. The Congress will not
change his policy, as Senate and
House are overwhelmingly republican,
with a sprinklfng Of anti-expansion-
lists. So, gentle reader, yon know what
to expect without waiting for the Pres
ident's message.

Very Curious Weather

AT Alto Crucero water freezes every
night of the year and the thermometer
frequently falls to 6, 8 and 10 degrees
below zero. There are no facilities for
artificial hcat-not even q fireplace
and people keep themselves warm by
putting on ponchos and other extra
wraps.
At MONDAY the sun is intensely hot,
because of the elevation and the rarity
OF the atmosphere, and blisters the flesh
OF those who are not accustomed to 1t.
There Is Il difference of 20 and some
times 30 degrees In the temperature OF
tho shade and the sunshine. Water will
freeze In the shade while 20 feet away
men may be working In their shirt
sleeves.
The natives seem to be entirely
Injured to cold and go about barefOoted
ana bareleggcd over the ice and the
stones indiffcrently without regard to
the temperature; but they have Il way
of heaping the blankets on their heads
and wrapping up their faces to keep
h pure air out Of their threats and
nostrils. The women who herd the
fiocks are often out on the mountains
for weeks ut n time without shelter or
anything to eat except parchcd corn,
strips Of dried meat and coca leaves,
which are the most powerful Of nerve
stimulants.- Chicago Record.

War in the East.

The Outz and Hasclden fusilade Of
words was transferred to Sellers, in
Marion county, during last week. j.
Dudley Haselden, a member of the So
called Board of Control, lives in Ma
rion county and charged Ben Sellers
with the authorship of q letter. Unlike
the patient Job-''Oh that mine enemy
would write a book'-Mr. Haselden
didn't relish the contents OF the let
Ter. The result was an engagement
with small and heavy fire arms. There
were four at least of the Haselden fac
tion and two of the Sellers, who are
named, and the Haseldens think there
were more. Ben Sellers and his ia
ther are dangerously shot, one of them
with a forty four calibre rifle ball
through the body; Haselden has a pis-
tol shot in the calf OF one leg and one
other of his faction was slightly hit
