EVENING. AUG. is, 1900.
TO REGULATE NEGROES.


Because of the killing OF Ia white man,
Bonnie Wall, by negro, Joe Milton
La, the white people Of Cheney Rapids,
parish have met in public meeting
and decided upon number of rules
relative to the future conduct and dis
cipliDe OF the negroes in that region.
There was disposition shown at first
to attempt to lynch Milton, and squads
Of armed white men from BuDkie, Alex
andria, Hsasville, Lamourie and other
places rode to Cheneyville and rendered
their assistance. The sheriff OF the par
ish. however, stood firm in his deter
mination to allow no lynching, and the
regulators who rode into town were
told that their services were not need
ed. II was then decided to bold con
ference OF white residents of Cheney
vile TO decide upon measures to pre-
serve peace and order. G. Cannon was
called to the chair and 4. II. Jackson
chosen secretary. A committee OF
five was appointed to prepare reso-
lutions. All negro men, idle or out
of work, were ordered to leave
NuCuOJNliICs AL pldCcc
where the negroes gamble by day or
night, were ordered closed. All ne
groes found dischsrging firearms were
to be dealt with properly and their
weapons taken from them. Other res
olutions are as follows:
"Whereas it is habit of numerous
negroes to congregate and sit on the de-
pot, preventing the passage OF ladies
and children in entering and leaving
the depot and cars; be it
Resolved, That said custom be i'm
mediately abolished: that ss there ex
lists an indispOsition among saucy and |
impudent set of young negro men and
women to yield the sidewalks and road
to ladies and children, any one caught
FILLING to do so, on being reported to
the committee, shall be severely dealt
with"
A committee Of twenty-five was ap-
pointed to zee that the resolutions be
carried out, and it proceeded at once to
close q number of establishments at
which the negroes congregate, and to
warn idle negroes to leave town. Quite
an emigration set in at once. Cheney
vile is the place that figures conspicu-
Ously ia Uncle Toms Cabin"

Troublesome to the Army.

During the civil war, as we'll as in our
late war with Spain, disrrhoea was one
of the most troublesome diseases the
army had to contend with. In many
instances it became chronic and the old
soldiers still suffer from it. MIR. David
Taylor of Wind Ridge, Greene Co., Pa,
is one of these. He uses Chamberlain's
Collie, COlera and Disrrhoea Remedy
and says he never found anything that
would give him such quick relief. II

Here L put away my pen and use my
shears. Ben had pushed the cam
psign with such vigor that one day
the following appeared from; Reporter
Jones' pen in the Springfield Union:
The Holyoke Chamber of Commerce
has been developed in a few weeks by
energetic work from puny infant into
q lusty giant, and as already an
nounced in the Union, this young
giant has ca mpaign in hand now in
which the most skillful generslship is
required to achieve success-the hold
ing of merchants week, from
October IL to Is inclusive, on scale
greater than any other city in New
England has yet attempted. A whole
week Of electric illumination, trades
PROFESSIONS, parades of societies and
frsternities, carnivals and cavalcades of
| hose running contests, receptions in
! the palaces and pic turesque cottages
on the hill, trips to Mt. Tom, German
field contests, with all the bands of tn e
city in their best bib and tucker
| such Is the elaborate program of this
gala week.
Ever since merchants weeks were
inaugurated in New England several
merchants of Holyoke.have quietly ag-
itated the holding of such an enter
prise in the city, but the movement
was not crystalized until Ben Picker
ing, a man of wide experience in
gathering and entertaining crowds,
was engaged as permanent secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce. Then the
enterprise was seriously considered
and plan laid before the chamber by
smoothness and rapidity with which the
q
dictate that plan WAS very complete
one, while the alacrity with which
every Holyoke interest, from the
great Water Power company down
to the humblest merchant las stepped
in line and co-operated with the d.
rection shows a united determination
to place Holyoke in the forefront of
progressive cities.
The decorations will be on more
brilliant scale than any city in New
England has ever seen, not excluding
Boston. Five electrical arches, made of
paper, silk and other products of Hol-
yoke, and bearing in brilliant electric
letters the words: 1.-The Paper City,"
sWelcome to Holyoke," "Holyoke's
Greeting" "South Holyoke," "Come
Again" will be illuminated every
night and will present q most dazzling
spectacle.
The main arch at Dwight and High
streets will be a masterpiece of archi-
tectursl and electrical art. The frame
work will be covered with paper, and
suspended over the road way between
the uprights will be the words in cleo
trio letters, "The Paper City"
Above this will be an electrical flag, II
feet long by Il feet thigh, which appears
to wave continuously, "a the electricity
dances among the stars and stripes.
Above the dag will be an outline OF
Mt. Tom in green lights, the hotel on
the summit to be q house Illuminated
by white lights, and the whole sur
mounted by an American flag.
The Edison Electric Decorative
company is cooperating with Electri-
clan M. j. Connors and Secretary
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-01-04

Pickering in providing an effect which
will represent the cars moving up and
down the mountain. The decorative
part of the arch has been in process of
construction for some time, and the
ground for the framework will be
broken Monday mornfng, under the
direction of the committee on electrical
decoration-Chairm D. B. Forbes OF
Steiger & Forbes, ex-Mayor Curran,
]. j. Egan and A. Davis of Davis &
Sons. The other arches will be at
on upper and lower High street and be
deliberately decorated. The stores and
city in general will be decorated, and
every householder ia to be asked to
place An American flag on his house
for the entire week, making a pretty
and picturesque effect.
The ceremonies will begin on Mon
day night at p. M, when Mayor
Smith, with the city government and
invited guests in attendance, will I'M
cover the flag and touch the button that
will set ablaze thousands of electric
lamps. The reception committee will
consist of President Conway and the
entire board of directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce: Messrs. A, McAus-
land, A. E. Dickinson, Ohio r. Brown,
T. ]. Carmody, John Tilley, W. J.
Mills, D. 81. Newton, A. Steiger, Gil
bert Potvin, M. b. Whitcomb, George
S. Sears, J. J. Sullivan.
On Tuesday at 10 q. N. the trade
procession will'move, business in gen
eral being suspended. On Wednesday
a bicycle parade on a large scale will
be held, beginning at 10 q. m. On
Thursday evening at eight there will
be procession of societies and frater-
nd na 81 g., I,
organizations in Holyoke, and all have
been invited to participate, the indica-
lions are that this will be one of the
largest professions seen in Western
New England for many years.
Friday will be the great day of the
week, beginning at ten in the forenoon
with a farmers carnival. One of the
entsrprising merchants of the city has
offered cash prize of $50 to the grange
in South Hadley, CRANKY, Ludlow, Am
herst, Easthampton, Southampton,
Northampton or West Springfield plac-
ing the largest number of vehicles, of
any kind, in the procession, and other
prizes swell the amount offered
to handsome sum.
Friday afternoon at 1:30, the Holyoke
fire department will parade with the
city government in carriages, and i'm
mediately following the parade the
Ash running company of Chicopee
Falls, the ShamrOcks of Turner's Falls,
and the North Adams running company
will run hose contest for the cham
pionship, and prizes of $500. On Fri
