Some Of Senator Beyerldge's col

time the day after the Indiana senator
had made his famous speech on the

As they always say evening" for
afternoon" down south nobody no
tced the apparent discrepancy, and the
senator took the congratulations with
the usual mild protest about their be-
ing undcscrycd and all that Then the
southcrncr went more into details and
began talking about the senator's "ca-
vorting about" the song he sang" and
other episodes that did not quite llt-

the realms OF the slangiest kind or

seriously, especially when they are new

not like the suggestion thar his maiden

cotton crop. The enrolment Of the
school children in 1890 was 101,4 Ala in

than has any one Of 10 other states In
the Union. The schools have most liberal

one of the white refugees how the ma
tives were treated by the Beers, and
she said. They were sjamboked, and
some have been thus whipped until
they died She said that many natives
were hired to work for a month, and
at the end Of it If they asked for money
they were stamboked instead Of paid.
There must be Beers and Beers,
though they all undoubtedly use the
sjambok upon the slightest occasion,
This weapon is q long whip which will
snap like a pistol when brought down
in an uplifted hand. 1t is made from
the hide of the rhinocerOs and polished

very tough and durable and Is used
upon animals and natives and also up

SAYS he MAY BEAT HIS WIFE.
Missouri Maa Proposes to Garry the
Case to the Higher
Courts.

To what extent, and for what Of
lenses Of omission and commission,
NAV a man beat his wife? This is a
question that the higher courts OF
Missouri must pass upon. Edward
Spenser, a prominent farmer near
Trenton, Mo-, has just been convicted
of whipping his wife, although he
quoted Scripture in the courtroom to
justify his actions.
Mrs Spenser admitted the right OF
her lord and master to castigate her,
but mildly protested that he had ex-
ceeded the limit. For instance, he had
once wallopeu her sounuiy because
she could not see squirrel he was
trying to point out in tree. Upon
another occasion she was smartly
thrashed because she would not wash
q buggy that they might drive to
church, where Spenser was to sing in
the choir.
The neighbors made the complaint
that led to the trial, insisting that
unless the law repressed Spenser they
would, and broadly limited that they
would use very effectual measures
Spenser pleaded his own case, but was
sentenced to pay fine and to repose
several weeks in Jail. He will appeal
the case

GAVE HIN TERROR.
Though the Tiny Animal Were
Grizzly Bear.

o. n. Richardson, who weighs 200
pounds and is employed at the Pied
mont baths, Oakland, CAL, was held .
prisoner in one of the large reservoirs
st the baths the other day for two
hours by a weasel weighing less than
two pounds. The men who came to the
rescue when they heard Richardson's
cries for assistance say he could not
have made more different kinds of noise
or exhibited greater signs of terror if
the animal guarding the exit of the
reservoir had been grizzly
Richardson had been sent to the
reservoir early in the morning to make
some repairs before the weekly water
supply was turned in. He had COM
pleted his work and was on the first
round of the ladder leading from the
bottom of the reservoir to the manhole
above when he happened to glance up
ward. There was the tiny weasel just
at the top of the ladder. In terror,
Richardson fled to the farthest corner
Of the reservoir, but, retreat as far as
he could, the weasel kept cycling him
curiously and Richardson's fears kept
rising. At last, made desperate, Rich
ardson resolved to call for assistance.
Help! Help! Murder! Murder!"
he cried again and again, but the only
answer was the echo of his own voice.
After two hours of waiting fellow
workmen, attracted by Richardson's
cries, climbed upon the tank. Their
presence frightened the weasel and
they managed to get Richardson out of
the tank. He was i'll all night and the
next day from his great fright.
Richardson says, weasel or no weasel,
the animal looked like it weighed a ton.

CINCINNATI DISAPPOINTED.
Greatly Dissatishsd with the work Of
the Census EnumeratOrs-Clain
They Are 10000 short.

Great dissatisfaction is felt over the
census returns from Cincinnati, and
from the way the citizens of that
city have complained to the census Of
flee it has placed the Cincinnati
enumerators below par. Cincinnati
claims it is at the least calculation
1000 short on the last count. In
speaking of the matter officials at the
census office were inclined to think
that the count was as correct as that
of other cities that have been enumer-
ated in the present census, and that
Cincinnati must realize it long ago
passed its prime, which was before
the decline of traffic on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers.
Cincinnati well deserved the name
of Queen City" in the days when
it commanded the entire trade of
those two tributaries as the metrop-
oils of the state of Ohio. 1t is but
the old story of river versus railways
and no more than can be expected.
The rivalry between Cleveland and
Cincinnati is so great as to which
shall be regarded as the metropolis
of the state that if Cleveland's re-
turns, which will be given out in
few days by the census office, should
be larger than Cincinnati it will COM
pei Cincinnati to abandon the title
of Queen City" Much bitterness ex-
lists in Cincinnati and the census Of
fee Is getting the benefit of it.
