hope that quarantine or other obstacles will
delay the Generals arrival home in time for
their college and civic receptions in his honor
The discussion concerning alleged abuses of
dispensary privileges is renewed. 1t does seem
hard to compel all who seek relief at free dis
pensaries to make profession, substantially. of
pauperism. Yet there is no question that
great many people abusing the dispensary
system by seeking free treatment when they
perfectly well able TO pay for IT. They
playing the role of the sham beggar who feigns
blindness or lameness In order to arouse SYM
pathy. They not only doing that but they
are making 1t impossible for the dispensaries
to serve as fully they otherwise might the
really needy. 1t is scurvy trick. for which no
reprobation can be too severe. What is wanted
Is g. system which will exclude these frauds
without humiliating unduly the worthy objects
of dispensary care. To devise such a system
may not be easy task.
Mr.. Bryan evidently has not abandoned free
silver. however much his gold Democratic
friends may try to shut their eyes to that
question.

The corraling and capture in mine of some

from the conquest of a Kaffir tribe which the
Beers once thus cornered in a cavern. On that
occasion the Beers simply piled a great mass Of
wood over the entrance to the cave and set II
afire. When. a day or two later, the fire had
burned itself out, there nothing living left
to come out of the cave.

After many years of suffering, with

and yet hopeful w. Chalmers Sedg-

at 1890 o'clock. His death was expected
by his many friends. but when the sad
news came that he had passed away it
was a shock. For five years he fought
against that dreaded disease, consump-
ton, but was always hopeful and contin-
ually told his friends he would recover.
During these many years OF untold suf-
fering. he was always cheerful, full Of
ambition and alert to business interests,
but at last the disease weakened him
and for many months he was confined to
his home and bed. During this time he
always felt hopeful until the Last few

During his sickness ali that human aid
could do was done for him. and at his
last he stated that his family. father and

FIRE NEAR GAINESVILLE
One Death and Another VIII Die Il
the Result

Monday evening on the farm Of
William Smith, about five miles from
GAINESVILLE, occurred a fire In which
one life was lost and another will
probably die.
The family was well to do and on
their farm was an unused barn near
the house. In this a little hay and
straw had been stored. The two boys
went to the barn to play, they had
matches, and were striking these in the
upper loft, and in some manner must
have dropped spark When the boys
discovered the blaze it was almost too
late TO escape.
The younger boy in some manner es-
capped from the barn with but slight in
jury. The older boy was not SO for
tunate, but though he was rescued be-
fore he was burned to death, he died
shortly after he was removed from the
building.
The mother made heroic attempt
to save the boys, but all to no avail.
She received burns about the head and
body, which, together with the shock,
give the friends no hope for her re-
covery.
The neighbors succeeded in saving
the house, but the barn and kitchen
will be a total loss. The damage will
amount to a couple of hundred dollars.

Chronicle of Daily Events from the

Although the Republicans have
tried to take much comfort from the
humorous letter of w. v. Campbell
that he had written to one of his
friends. but like the Republicans they
could not refrain from trying to make
the facts read otherwise, and as for
facts of the statement, we suggest that
they look or read the columns OF the
Register. Mr. Campbell has written
back to his friends that he is not only
a Democrat, but says the report given
out was false. He also says that he
is sorry that among his Republican
friends there has been those who
would misstate him, and owing to this
he asks all men who love liberty, JUS
tice and the republic to vote for w. ].

Meeting With Success.

The efforts to organize a military
company here are meeting with con-
siderable success.
One Of the originators of the
movement informed a reporter to-
day that the roster of the proposed
company now contains 10 names.
To add to the promise of success
which this large list gives, we are
informed that the merchants and
business men are subscribing liber-
ally for the purchase of uniforms
and that it is probable enough
money will be subscribed to pay
for uniforming the entire company
when finally sworn in as militia.
A plan is on foot to secure guns
and accoutrements from the United
States government and the boys
are very hopeful of success.
Altogether the indications are
very favorable for the early organ
ization and complete equipment of
a good company in Ardmore. The
signers of the roster will meet in
the city hall tomorrow night to per-
feet organization.
