His wounds were slight, but painful,
and the terrible battle nad SO weakened
him that when he reached tue shore he
fell exhausted, with his face toward
the tepee
He could not see Aakloo now, nor
even the canoe that came in n moment
to where he lay.
Gray Beaver and an old friend, pad
ding out from camp, had called to the
girl as she ran on the shore, and had
laughed when she told them why she
could not turn her head to look after
them.
Then they had seen the boy and the
cougar In the edge of the lake, and their
paddles had swung faster and with
stronger strokes than they had used for
many year.
When kannoga opened his eyes Gray
Beaver leaned over his and spoke gen.

that long before she could reach the
tepee he would be beyond the need of
rescue.
He had turned his head for only an
instant, but in that instant the cougar
had crept nearer and its long tail had
begun to swing slowly, stealthily, from
side to side.
Kannoga saw no hope of escape, but
with every sense alert he studied his
desperate chances.
The panther lay crouched with It's
head toward the forest, while he sat
facing the lake. When he had carefully
measured the space between them and
the distance to the water he jumped
away from the log and ran directly un-
der the panther.
The animal instantly shifted its head,

of the limb, but the boy did not appear

Bismarck's Barber was Bright

The late Prince Bismarck's barber Is
said to be well on the way to making
his fortune, for he has saved no less
than eight years clippings from his
masters hair. These he is now divid-
ing into small quantities, and incasing
In gold brooches, scarfpins and lockets,
allowing three hairs to each ornament,
and selling to the public. The barber
states that he had the late Princes per-
mission TO do this.-London Tit-Bits.

there, and 1t turned with marvellous
agility before it's great yellow body
shot into the air.
Kannoga was crushed down under It's
weight, but he had reached the lake
knee-deep. He felt the panther release
Its grasp In order to find firm footing
and when he raised up for air discov-
cred its dripping head little more than
an arms length from his own.
Then he took deep breath and lay
down upon the bottom, hoping that the
panther would leave him.
1t stood there, however watching
over him and waiting.
He started to crawl out from shore,
but 1t seemed to him that he had hardly
moved when heavy claws sunk into his
leg and dragged him back. Then, with
out letting go its hold, the panther i'm
medlately shifted it's position and be-
gan to drag him out into shallower
water.
He made desperate efforts to hold
fast to the lake bed, for he knew what
the end would be If he reached the
shore, but his fingers only plowed
through the sand.
The sharp point of a rock that tore
him as he was dragged over 1t gave him
hope; he grasped 1t with both hands
and clung with all his strength, but In
an instant his fingers We're digging

The panther at once let go of his leg
and came at him with open mouth, but
it moved slowly in the water, and Kan
noga, by great effort, stood up.
Then the beast sprung upon him.
The boy had nerved himself, how
ever, and fell as far out from shore as
he could.
When the feeling of dizziness that
followed the shock had passed he found
that the panther held his arm in its
mouth and was swimming that its
feet did not touch bottom.
Then, in spite of the terrible pain II
caused him, he pulled his arm down
Very soon it released its hold.
Then the Indian boy stood up again,
and this time he became the aggressor.
Grasping the slick, wet head with
both hands he forced it deep into the
water. The panther's feet touched bot
tom, and its violent struggles threw
him down, but he got up again and held
the glaring eyes and the red mouth
with its white teeth more carefully
just under the surface of the lake.
Kannoga became very weak and his
legs trembled feebly under him, but he
was thankful that they We're long, for
he could stand with his head in the cool
evening breeze while the cougar was
drowning.
At first the panther made fearful
sounds as the water filled It's lungs but
these presently ceased. and at last it
hung dead weight in the boys hands.
He let 1t sink then and loosened a stone
from the lake bed to roll upon its head.

We visited the Hardwood Mill at
the Park yesterday, aud noticed
that much WORK has been accom-.
plished out there since our last Wis
it. The engine is in place and most
of the wheels and belts are ready to
turn the machinery, The switch
on which the logs are to be deliver
ed to the mill from the Pee Gee
road is laid and logs will be deliver
ed there this week and dumped into
the lake, and by the time they have
become thoroughly soaked, the mill
will be started. The capacity, we
learn, will be twenty-five thous-
and feet Of hard lumber per day.
The mill will be added to and i'm
proved during the year. and will be-
come In time, one of the largest
hardwood mills in the south. We
wish the proprietors the realization

YelInw Favsr Ii the Army.

1t isn't the number of men that
yellow fever kills that frightens you
but the unexpected suddenness of
its attack, and the rapidity with
which it kills. A man is well and
hearty at 3 p. M; az 4 p. m. he is
deadly i'll; at 6 p. m. he is dead, and
at 8 p. m. he is buried, In much
the same manner men will work day
after day in apparent health, and
then will suddenly appear general
weakness. The body is giving out,
1t needs something to strengthen
it, to drive away the impurities of
the blood, to tone up the stomach,
and assist digestion. For this pur-
pose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
highly recommended 1t will cure
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
malaria, fever and ague.

The business man who fails to ad
vertise these days, when he has
good local papers at hand, is about
as likely to succeed as the farmer
who neglects to use his plow, be-
cause it is some trouble and ex-
pense. When it is dull the live pa
per brings the hustler for business
much trade that he would not 9TH
erWise receive, and when business is
good it brings many customers who
would either not buy at all, or else
buy of the other fellow. It never
fails to pay to advertise in a good
paper; this is what such men as
Wannamaker and the largest and
best merchants in the world say
and they certainly ought to know.

DR.. JURIUs N. BRAGG.

The Jonesboro Enterprise wants
to know who DR.. Bragg, of Camden,
/. and what excuse be has for run
ming for governor. This is an un-
fortunate pair of questions, for DIR.
Bragg is one of the best known cit
izens of Arkansas and one OF the
most eloquent speakers within her
borders. If he determines to run
for governor he will be doing moth
ing not clearly within his right as
citizen. The World knows OF no
man in the state who would bring to
bear in the discharge of the duties
of the Office of governor more dig
nity, greater devotion to the varied
interests of the commonwealth, a
higher ideal of duty, or greater
honesty. DR.. Bragg is a courteous
gentleman of the old school, char
acterized by simple manners and
pure life and great physical and
mental vigor. He would make an
ideal governor.-Helena World.
We take great pleasure in copying
the above, so as to give it our hearty
approval. DR.. Bragg has never
sought Office, and no man is more
deserving or better qualified for the
office of governor.

TRUSTS IN POLITICS.

Mark Hanna said in his Cleveland
speech, approving and defending
trusts: This combination of capi-
tai for one purpose or another is
not political. 1t is a business ques-
ton and ought not to have been
brought into politics"
The boss of the republican party
thinks that trusts are a law unto
themselves. There should be no
Interference by the people whom
they propose TO rob and ippOverish.
That is the idea of the leader of the
republican party. 1t is the creed
of his copartners in trusts and his
colleagues in the political aggrega-
tion that is uphelding trusts aud is
upheld by them.
Hanna is inconsistent. He and
his party associates have lugged a
protective tariff and ship subsidy
bill into politics for authorizing fa-
vored interest to rob the people ac-
cording to law. Having done this
they cannot legally describe trusts,
which embrace the same practices
in a wider and broader sense as bus
mess institutions which should be
kept out of politics.
Besides, it is not fair to demand
that the trusts be kept out of poll
tics when they persist in thrusting
themselves into the political affairs
of cities, States and the Union.
They assisted Mr.. Hanna consid-
erably in buying the presidency for
his bosom friend aud political ward,
William Mckinley, and they active
! ly and Extensively interfere in nun.
icipal, State and Congressional
elections with sinister and selfish
motives. Their presence in politics
is a more serious menace to the in.
tegrity of American institutions
than are their monopolistic tenden.
cies to the material prosperity
and business opportunities of the
public.
Unless they are driven out of pol
itics by the people, and their power
| for financial extortion and poiticaI
debauchery destroyed, the United
Estates will be a Republic only in

Hartman Syndicate to Get Control OF
the Pittsburg and Gulf.

the Plttsburg and Gul'
New York, Oct. 2S.-It became
known today that E. H. Hartman
who organized a syndicate a few
months ago which purchased the
Chicago and Alton road, has Just
formed another syndicate, which
will underwrite the reorganization
of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf Railroad Company.
As a result OF the agreement
which has been reached between
the Philadelphia committee and
the Hartman underwriting syndl-
cate it is understood President A.
E. Ttilwell, of the old Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf road, and his
friends are to have no interest IN
the property after reorganization,
hr. Stillwell's place as a mem
Der of the voting trust is to be ia
ken by E. Fl. Hartman, represent
Union Pacific, Illinois Central and
Chicago and Alton interests, and
Mr.. De Goijen will be superseded by
James Stillman, who will represent
the Rockefellers, Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railway holdings and
the interests of foreign bOndholders
of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf.
The Philadelphia plan provides
for the formation OF a new company
which shall acquire all the property
of the existing Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf railroad, and tn,
whole, or at least a majority, Of
the stock of the Kansas City Sur
burbau Belt Railroad Company and
the Port Arthur Channel aud DOcF
Company, thus bringing the whole
system under one ownership and
management. The new company
is to issue $3O,OO0,OOO first mort
gage fifty year 4 per cent gold
bonds, $4,000, 900 4 per cent non
cumulative preferred stock and $50,
900, 900 common stock. The plan
also provides for the management
of the company for five years by a
voting trust.
The present Hartman sydicate
contains representatives of theVan-
derbilt, Gould and Rockefeller inter
ests and the Illinois Central man
agemeut; and its control of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
road will have the result of giving
the Alton, which extends from
Chicago to St. Lous and Kansas
City, direct line from the latter
city to the gulf, and will, it is be
lieved, mean the operation of the
Pittsburg and Gulf road in com
plete harmony with the Illinois Cen
tral, extending from Chicago to the
guilt at New Orleans; with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas, extending
from St. Louis aud Kansas City to
the gulf at Galveston; and with the
Gould Missouri Pacific system in the
southwest, through the liues of
which also Kansas City and St,
Louis are connected with the gulf
points of Galveston aud New Or
leans.
