The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was a frightful railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss Of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident.
There is doubtless far greater loss of
life occurring every day, in various sec
tions of the country, for which the only
excuse is" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms" These cases are
not the subjects Of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
Of life to ignorance.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Bell Writes EntertaingIy of

Chief Burlington received let
ter today from Col. L. B. Bell,
Cherokee delegate to Washington,
written Saturday, setting forth the
status of the Cherokee legislation
in congress. The letter indicates
more hopeful state of affairs than
has hitherto existed. Among
other things Col. Bell says;
"The Indian committee of the

Arkansas, to refer the Cherokee
and Greek agreements to sub

erthat the subcommittee should

Then, shall we be expected to adj
NIT that, under like conditions, the
south is not equal to the north in a fair
field of business competition?
my experience, which has been ex-
tensiye, will not allow me to admit ii,
but on the contrary | deny 1T.
II have taken a great many southern
young men to the northwest, where
conditions were less favorable to him
than to the man born in the higher Fat
ftudes, and these southern lads have
risen to the highest rank in every field
of business they have entered-many
OF them are now leaders.
Il regard the republican party is the
only national party now in the field.
1t is enterprising, aggressive and pat
riotic; it has on hand and unfinished
a great work in clearing off the debris
left in the fields by Spain after the
war was over. which both democrats
and republicans put us into.
"The work is being done satisfac-
torily, and there should be no change
in the chief executive as long as this
important work is going on.
President Mckinley is a wise, ex-
perienced and patriotic Christian
statesman, and the only complaint
urged by his opponents is that MS
place is wanted by another man.
Gov. Roosevelt is the highest type
of American manhood. He is able,
cultivated and well prepared for the
duties which will be assigned him as
vice president of the United States.
"The best blood OF the south fills his
veins, as his mother was one Of the
Georgia's fairest daughters and Of a
family wholly southern and distin-
guished in the service of the state in
peace and in war.

Stevenson southern? Is Mr.. Bryan a

"Janus-faced, he is accepting the
nomination of the democrats, but fac
ing and smiling one way at the popu-
lists and the other at the silver repub-
~licans.
"Mr. Bryan and his party Of fusion
carry no hope for the south. Virginia's
vote is not required to elect Mckinley
and Roosevelt, nor is the vote of the
south.
The north will easily elect him, but
honestly, sincerely and periodically
pray that the scales may soon fall from
the eyes Of my southern friends, that
they may see their high duty and per-
form it, and rheir true hope and real

WHAT RoSsER THINKS OF THE
PARTIES.

MISREPRESENTATION AN LINZ oIE- -t%rTE E2F-tr Ia
Gen. Thomas l.. Rosser of Georgia,
a prominent figure in railroad building
in the northwest in early days and one
of the old time southern democrats,
regards the democratic party as having
outliyed its usefulness and the repub-
lican party as the party of progress
and advancement. General Rosser
was one of the chief surveyors in the
marking out Of the line of the North
ern Pacific when it was first projected
and built. His letter to Governor
Roosevelt after the latter's nomination
for vice president stated his sympathy
with the support of the New Yorker.
and now in another interview General
Rosser announces thai he has left the
democratic party and Joined with the
republicans, giving these as reasons
therefor:
I'm the first place, l will state that
politics is not my NEAR Of livelihood.
I have never asked for. nor held a po-
litical commission, and ann under no
obligations to any political party. I
have experienced no change of hearn
toward Virginia OF the south.

now carry, received on the battlefield
In attestation of my devotion and sac
rifice to their cause, when issues were
tried by ball and bayonet, and I love

their flags

has prospered under republicanism,
nor lis there any denying the fact that
the south has not prospered under
democracy.

The Jamestown Capital doesn't
mince matters with regard to the flu
sionists who ask the people of the
state again to entrust them with it's
affairs. The Capital says, in speaking
OF the charges of the fusionists that
the republicans have been extravagent:
Just eight years ago when the pops
took up the reins of government in. this
state there was a surplus in the treas
ury and after two short years of mis-
rule, nepOtism, and holdups every fund
had been overdrawn and the state was
bankrupted. These reformers went
on the principles that public Office is
a snap-and made it so. They soaked
it to the taxpayers who had placed
them in power by assessing the rail-
roads but $500 a mile when they
should have doubled it, thus discrim-
mating in favor of the corporations
and trusts against the taxpayers. Ex-
orbitant prices were paid for printing

Sunshades.
II the woman who uses parasol
would be particularly far in advance
of her feminine rivals this summer
she will buy herself the very latest
creation in parasol ingenuity. the sun
shade with square edges. 1t Ii not
thing of beauty, perhaps but at least
,it is strikingly odd and to be odd Is
at least to be noticed. The square
lparasol is covered with a bandana
handkerchief In the saudiest pattern
cbtainabIe and the effect Is certainly
bizarre and unusual. The newest
handles for the seasons parasols are
club shaped, and some OF them are
adorned with bunchse OF flowers and
fruit. Among the elaborate handles
wooden ones are seen mounted In gold
and silver and set with real or imita-
tion jewels. Ivory. coral, and lapis
aazuli are also cut up into the parasoi
handles. Parasols for morning ser
vice are always OF plain design and
material. Silk is. Of course the rule.
For carriage use a white satin sun
shade Is always desirabls requisition
and 1t may be beautiied by lace but
terflies and flowers appliqued upon the
satin. One Of the fancy shades shows

SAW A GHOST,
In d Cemetsry That Danced a Ds.A

In - Scometsry That Danced a D0A
Mems Graves.
New Haven Comm Special New
York World: To those that are In
clined to scoff at the residents near
Mapledale cemetery because they are
excited over a ghost that dances night
iy over new-made graves the point Is
made that the believers have seen the
wrath while the unbelievers have not.
For three dark nights many persons
have gathered at the cemetery gates.
and the ghost, being well-bred and
considerate specter, has not disap-
pointed them. 1t has walked regular
ly and danced with its usual grace.
Any one who does not believe in
ghosts should talk to John Bertram
and George. e. Backmailer. They
laughed at the suggestion of disem-
bodied spirits promeaading in a GEM
etery or anywhers else, and the sug-
gestion that a ghost would dance they
declared was manifestly. absurd. Last
night the young men announced that
they would clear up the ghost mys-
terry and placed themselves on guard
In the cemetery, thereby winning
many compliments for their pluck
until the ghost appeared. Then the
two brave young men took to their
heels and never stopped running until
they were exhausted. They said that
nothing would persuade them to enter
the cemetery again at night SO long
as the weird manifestations contin-
ued. Several spiritualists were among
those on guard last night. They also
saw the ghost. They explained II BY
saying that it was spirit seeking
someone 1t had wronged in life. It
has not been determined whether II Is
a man ghost or a woman ghost, but It
is properly attired, according to all
traditions, in a long, flowing robe OF
white. 1t violates one of the rules Of
ghosts, however, in that 1t makes its
appearance before midnight. 1t was
about II o'clock last night when 1t
suddenly appeared out OF nowhere.
and after floating about for half an
hourt melted into thin air in the most
approved fashion. From the stories
of those who have seen 1t. the ghost
appears to be most capricious In its
movements, having no fxity Of pur-
pose. Sometimes it moves slowly, and
then it darts along. Occasionally 1t
