The Greensboro Record has a half

President Dudley. 1t says:
Accepting the honor of its presiden-
cy, which came unsolicited from the di-
rectorate and not though the appoint

and says another dormitory is a neces-
sity, agreeing in this with what the
needed.

HOME FOLKS

The Atlanta dailies are quite happy
over the mastering out of the Third
North Carolina negro regiment The
Journal says of that highly ~"riprorious'
body:
"A tougher and more turbulent set of
negroes were probably never gotten to-
gether before. Wherever this regimnt
went it caused trouble"
The general judgment of the press is
that nearly all the negro regiments
were bad, turbulent and worse than
nothing.

sEnINoLE BURNING CASES.
The Second Case a Preacher Named
Msthes, Also Convicted.

Muskogee, l. T., May 23.-The
second of the 80 defendants in the
celebrated Seminole burning cases
was today found guilty in the Uni
ted States court here. His name
is Andrew j. Mathes. He was a
preacher.
The testimony reveals that there
were over 150 people present at the
burning. The two Indians prayed
in Indian and, it is alleged, con-
fessed to the murder of Mrs. Laird.
1t will be remembered that Jones,
the deputy marshal, was convicted
as an accessory to the mob. Mr..
Mathes is the first of the alleged
members Of the mob to be tried.
He was indicted on two counts,
arson and kidnapping. His trial
today, which resulted in cOnvic-
ton, was for kidnapping. Kidnap-
ing is punished with from three to
20 years in the penitentiary with
hard labor. The court will pro-

Guthrie, Okla, May 23.-Judge J..
II. Burford has shown that he has
little sympathy for men who fail to
list their property correctly. He is
now holding court at Saltwater and
made things warm for Frank Coe, a
citizen of that neIghborhood, who
failed to tell the assessor of money
he had on deposit in the bank. The
grand jury returned a true bill against
Coe, he pleaded guilty and Judge
Burford fined him $3.50 and trim
mings.'

Progressive Oklahoma

The OklahUman says: There was
a bomb thrown into the camp of the
gaming fraternity yesterday at noon,
and they have not recovered from
the shock. 1t was an order from the
county attorney that the gambling
should cease and the places must
close.
The edict has gone forth, the crap
shooters shall shoot no more irno-
cent craps, the merry rattle of the
roulette wheel is heard no moro in
the land, the festive sucker can no
longer copper the ace and there is
an air of gloom pervading the haunts
that erstwhile gave out the Joyous
sound of rattling chips.
And that is not all of the story. The
saloon men were also stunned py the
shock. They must close their saloons
at II O'Clock every night, and Satur-
day nights they close at the usual
time and open no more until Monday
morning. That is the law, and those
who speak by the card say that it is
not just a spasmodic jerk, but that
this condition of things is to con-
tinue.
There are some here that are glad
with an exceeding gladness, and
there are others who feel much ag-
grieved over the situation.

aud instantly killed by Rube Thomas
on a street in Hazen, Prairie county,

the head, and lived but ten minutes.

her attention for days, and that

her with. She had made it herself,
partly because she knew exactly what

could, and she had very clever fingers
and understood volumes about the be-

elbow. There was such a curious note
in her small, plaintive tone that he
turned and looked down at her with a
little curiosity, and then he said, that
dear periured man, who knew that he
did not know a thing of what he was
talking about:
"Of course they will. Many ladies
always do, no matter what the weather
they look upon it as sort of religious
duty" and he twinkled at her; but
Phyllis never had much sense of
humor, and now there was no more in
her than in a catechism.

more ways than one by having the
accidental misfortune to back into

over; she then, with her apologies,
managed to strike up an acquaintance

PRODUCE.

Chicago, April 22.-Liquidation and
short selling to-day ON prospects OF
rain caused a decline in wheat. AT the
close May and July both showed loss
of Use. Corn declined &c and oats n
@3sc. Pork lost &c and lard and ribs
21a @5c each.
Wheat opened steady on better Liv-
erpool cables than expected. TYRE
was a lack of outside trade, however,
and prices soon eased off the weakness
becoming quite pronounced on predic-
tions of general rain where badly need
ed in the South and Southwest. Liqui-
dation was heavy and there was good
deal of short selling. May started 1sc
higher at 1870 and declined steadily to
@745sc and sold off to 1874 @733sc, the
closing price.
Private crop damage reports were
less numerous than heretofore.
Corn declined under moderate liqui-
dation, increased country offerings and
heavy receipts. There was a fair ship
ping demand. Receipts 240 cars. May
started a shade lower at 34A @24asc,
sold sparingly at 343sc, then declined
to SAC at the close.
Sympathy with other grains and free
realizing by longs caused decline in
oats. There was a good cash demand
from the east. Receipts 175 cars. May
opened shade higher at 26s4c and de-
clined to 263sc' at the close.
Free deliveries of hogs and the weak
ness in grains depressed provisions.
May pork opened 21ac lower at SO. Is,
rose to 1920. then reacted to $912k
sellers at the close.
The change in lard and ribs was
small. Estimated receipts for Monday:
