the right way" As soon as the prayer
had left her lips a sweet peace stole into
her heart: 1.-The peace that passeth IN
derstanding,'' and as she rose TO her feet,
she saw standing before her little child
ali in shimmering white, that shed a soft
radiance about him His face was illum-
mated, and a halo encircled his beautiful
brow. He spoke not word, but clasped
Lura's hand in his and his touch thrilled
her with unspeakable rapture. Together
they sought her companions, and looking
tenderly into their gloomy faces he said,
IN tones of ineffable sweetness, Follow
thou me-" And as they followed Lura
and the child along the narrow, white
way, Lura kept looking back to smile
upon them, and they noticed with awe,
that her face was Illuminated like the
face of the little child who lead them.
When upon the still night air was watt
ed TO their ears, the first sweet sound Of
the distant church bells, family ringing,
the little child disappeared from their
midst; but still before them stretched
the narrow path, all white and shining
in the darkness
It was in the dawn of Christmas morn
ing that Lura and her band came forth
from the forest. Before them lay the
City. so calm and beautiful The lake,
ike a sheet of silver reflected the snow
capped peaks beyond. The morning star
was Daling IN the heavens. The first,
faintblush Of dawn tinted the eastern sky
and touched the spires and turrets Of the
City with an oDalin radiance. All was
white and silent under the new fallen
snow; when suddenly. from the belfry of
the Cathedral. the sweet chimes pealed
forth the glad anthem Of Peace on
Earth and good will to men,"

Rumors OF Another Reply of the
Beers More Conclliatory
In Tone.
OUTLANDERS URGED TO LEAVE
The London Press is Less Per-
sIstent In Urging the
British to Move.

London, Sept. 19.-There was an
unverified rumor from Cape Town
today that the Beers have delivered
another message to the British higA
commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner
which is more conciliatory than yes
terday's reply. The rumor, however,
fails to obtain much credence and IS
not taken in any way as mitigating
the seriousness of the crisis
The Outlander press sees nothing
but war ahead and urges the Outland-
ers to leave Immediately.
The London press is now inclined
to take the view that recent action
on the part of the Beers does not
make war certainty, though it does
place the British cabinet in a position
where it must take steps so aggres-
submission will be the only alterna-
tives remaining to the Transvaal and is
remaining to the Transvaal and is
by no means so persistent in urging
the government to move except in the
matter. Of hurrying troops to the
probable scene of action
The Pail Mall Gazette prints a dis
patch from Cape Town which says:
The general impression is that the
Beers will at once take the initiative
and an attack is expected at any hour.
Troops continue to leave Cape Town
for Kimberly and the north and the
first-class cruiser Terrible sailing
from Portsmouth for China today,
1t is reported, has been ordered to
go by the way of Cape Town instead of
the Suez canal Nothing is yet
known regarding the date of the ex-
pected cabinet council.

PROBABLY KILLED
New Mexican, Farmer Drives out During
Storm and is Found Dead.

A special from Springer, dated Sep
tember IL, says: Henry Dick, a Hol-
lander living about eight miles west of
Maxwell City, was found dead in the
road about q mile west of his farm,
Friday afternoon, by parties on their
way from Cimarron to Ration.
1t appears from evidence submitted
to the coroner's jury yesterday that
Dick had been cutting oats for a
neighbor named Jenkins, with self
binder, finishing up at noon and after
getting his dinner proceeded home
ward with his machine. Shortly after
he left heavy storm prevailed, and
while the coroner's jury rendered. a
verdict that he had been killed by un.
known causes, all are of the belief
that he was killed by lightning and fell
from his machine in the middle of the
road, where his body was found twen-
ty- four hours later. having been killed
Thursday about o'clock.
His team and binder were found the
next day about mile from where the
body lay and third horse found yes
terday harnessed and grazing still a
mile further on. He came to the coun
try about five years ago and was a
hard working young man, being the
only child and main support of a wild
owed mother. He was about 25 years
lof age and unmarried.

CarterviIle Riot.
At the close of Business. Aug. u. '90.

MURPHYsBoRO, Ills, Sept. 18.-Com-
pany Q of the Fourth regiment, l. N.
e., Lieutenant Thomas Lowden. In
command, is in full control of the sitpa-
ton at .Carterville. No arrests have
been made and much difficulty is an
ticipated in discovering the identity of
the white men who. did the killing.
Hon. O. j. Page of Metropolis and
POSTMASTER James LandOn were within
twenty feet of the scene of the riot
when 1t began. They declare that one
non-union colored miner fred a shot +.
They claim it was Said Cummins who
fired. Cummins was shot twice through
the head and died today. The other
dead negroes are: Henry BrainneR,
Rev. T. j. Floyd, John Black, listed
bradley, all from Jellico, Tenn. Sam
browning and Jim Hayes are missing
and thought to be dead.
The funeral took place this afternoon.
Mayor Zimmerman had the bodies pre-
pared for burial. They conveyed
wounded Cummins from town to
Greenville, which is inhabited by negro
non-union men at Brush's shaft.
Manager Donnelly says the negroes
of Green vile we're frenZied when they
heard of the killing of their comrades
and tried in every manner to get rifles
from the company's magazine and
make an attack on the town. He pre-
vented them but it is feared they may
vet break from the company's control
Each of the dead men had heavy revol-
ers and from twenty-five to forty cart
ridges. When the 6rst shot was fired
men ran from all parts of town with
Winchesters and revolvers. Each OF
the dead negroes was shot in the
head.

MADE A SENSATION.
Did Those Registration Lists Gotten up by
Private individuals.

The impression is quite generally en-
tertained around town that in compil-
ing and submitting an alleged list of
qualified voters yesterday, the Aqua
Pura company made serious mistake.
Lists of this character were, from all
accounts, submitted to each of the four
registration boards, accompanied by
verbal statement that the names were
correct and were those of qualified vot-
ers. The action created considerable
stir and those interested in an honest
registration began to scan the lists
rather closely. Before any action could
be taken, however, the attorneys fling
the lists created still greater sensation
by calling tor them and taking them
out of the hands of the various boards.
The criticism leveled against the
Aqua Pura company is founded on the
allegation that the preparation of the
lists and certifieation of them as being
correct is very apt to come within the
terms of the statute. A clause in Sec
tion 1886 of the compiled laws of 1897
says:
"And it shall also be unlawful for
any person to solicit, procure, aid. abet,
induce, or attempt to procure or induce
any person who is not duly qualified, to
register as voter or to vote at any
election held in this Territory"
If there should have been glsring
errors in the lists mentioned (which is
thought more than probable). and the
attorneys for the Aqua Pura company
had insisted upon their adoption. and
the registration boards acquiesced in
the same, section 1907 would have COW
cred the case, clause of which says
"Or should any of said boards register
the name of any person as a legal voter
knowing him not TO be such, the men,
ber or members OF The board causing
the same to be done shall be liable, on
conviction before the district court, to
a fine for such offense of not less than
$50 nor more than $780," etc.
The city administration is vitality
interested in securing correct ard un-
biased registration, in ordrr that no
flaw may be found in the proceedings
/ by which the bonds will be voted. The
authorities can therefore be depended
npon to see that the law is faithfully
complied with. or this, everybody, ir-
cluding the Aqua Pura company, may
rest assured.

The News Is Received Quietly
In Paris, Having Been
Anticipated.
REaNEs GOT EXCITED OVER 1T
PRONUNCIATION of the Pardon May
Be Delayed For
Few Days.


PARIS, Sept. 19.-Csrt. Alfred Drey-
fus, convicted by the conrt martial on a
charge of treason, with extenuating cir
cumstances, has been pardOned.
NJ. Scbuerer Kestner, former vice.
president of the senate and champion
of Dreyfns. is dead. 9
1t is said that Dreyfus will be sent
abroad before the promulgation of his
ardon in order 10 avoid demonstra-
tlons.
Che council of ministers decided to.
day upon the pardon, which will take
effect in few days. Dreyfus relin-
quished his appeal for Il reversal of
the judgment of the court martial.
The announcement that Dreyfus was
TO be pardoned has already been dis
counted by the predictions and there
Was absolutely no excitement displayed
along the boulevards when the news
Toys ran along at about 3 :15 p. IN, with
the first editions containing the state
ment that the cabinet had decided to
grant the pardon. Newspapers sci /
quickly but there was no rush for Them
upon the part of the .boulevardiers.
Those who bought papers sat down in
front of the cafes and read the an
noupcement without comment. Every
one expected it and the decision met,
with no opposition.
Droits de pHomme, socialist organ,
said: "Our task remains after as before
the deliheration over Dreyfus, to con-
tinue the campaign against all those
who are responsible for the lamentable
affair"
TIE NEWS AT RENNEs.
Rennes, Sept. 19.-The news that the

Major Jones, views.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 19-Major s.
r. Jones, u. s. A., who has been quar-
termaster at Manila ever since that city
was captured by the Americans, was q
passenger on the Coptic, which arrived
from Hong Kong and Yokohama via
Honolulu today. He will report. TO
Washington. When Major Jones left
Manila the forward movement in the
rain and mud was being made against
the insurgents. He is of the opinion
that $4,000 troops will have to be kept
on the Island of Luzon ten years In
order to keep the peace but actual
fighting will not last six weeks when
that number of Americans is landed in
Manila.

Pleading for Schley.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Governor
Lowndes, Senator Wellington, Mayor
Malster of Baltimore, and General
Felix Agnus called upon the president
yesterday and formally protested
against the assignment of Rear Ad-
miral Schley to the command of the
South Atlantic station on the ground
that it was not commensurate with the
dignity and service he had rendered
during the Spanish-American war.
The protest was made voluntarily and
without Admiral Schley's knowledge.
The president listened attcn,ivcly
to what the Maryland Republican
leaders had to say but gave no indi-
cation of what he would do.

applications for an increase of eircula-
tion from four New York banks
amounting to about 81, 100000. Yester-
day the amount was about $250,000

not at all unusual at this season Of the
wear and so far as known at the treasury
dfnartment there was no concerted
liidgement on the part of The banks to
fnorease their circulation by any very
large amount, ss has been rnmored.
