AFRICAN LOVE CHARM.
The Flesh of a White Man Supposed

A new peril seems to threaten white
men in South Africa. They are in danger
of being cut into love charms and used
to increase the marriage rate among the
natives. The flesh of a European is con-
sidered by the black inhabitants of Ma
tai as charm powerful enough to COM

has been received from Natal of the
hanging at Harding Of a witch doctor
and his pupil for the murder of a farmer
named Kay. The farmer was dragged
from his bed at night, and after being
sta bbed several times with an assegai. his
throat was cut and his body left on the
veldt. Part of the dead mans neck was
cut away, and subsequently found In the
witch doctors bag, with other ''medi-

was witch doctor named Umtanti. With
him was associated his pupil Sibalweni
Sibalweni had not yet taken his degree
as a witch doctor, but was STUDYING nm
der Umtanti, who considered him a prom
ising pupil. The two were helped in the
murder by two men, who seem to have
been simply employees of Umtanti's COL
lege of medicine These two men re-
ceived life sentences. When Umtanti
and his pupil were hanged eighty native
chiefs and headmen were assembled in
order that they might see the execution
and spread the news of it abroad among
the natives. The natives have had an
idea that when one of them has been
arrested for similar crime he has not
been killed, but simply sent to some far

and Silver Republicans Of Nebraska will
meet in this city on Tuesday, Aug. %,
to place in nomination a candidate for
justice of the supreme court and two
members of the board of regents of the

attempt to fuse the parties on all the
nominations with good prospect of sue

Ex-Gov Stlas A. Holcomb, Populist
is the leading candidate for the supreme
bench and the present outlook is that he
will receive the nomination There are
other aspirants for the nomination. but
they are not of sufficient prominence
nor have they the strength behind them,
to warrant the consideration of their
claims as in any way serious.
For the position of regents there are

feeling here is that the three elements

with robbing the postOffice at this
place Wednesday. 1t is Fields duty to
carry the mail from the Katy depot
nights, and deposit the mail bags in
the lobby of the Office, and for which

outer front door. Last night, it is pre-
sumed, he took notion to replenish
his cash account from the Golfers Of
Uncle Sam, and accordingly Chamber
ed over the partition and extracted
three or four dollars from the cash
drawer. He gave conflicting accounts
of the amount OF money he had in his
pockets when arrested, and when
searched was found to have three or
four times the amount he claimed to
have. The marshal turned him over
to the United States authorities and
he was remanded to the hOldover to
await investigation by the commits
sioner. Fields made a confession
Thursday to the commission of the
crime and duplicates Lee Tucker, an
other negro, who was arrested ana
