AN AWFUL DISASTER.
A Family of Five Children Burned
 to Death at Thatcher.

In supplement published last Sat urday the Graham County Guardian says: The most terrible disaster that has ever visited this valley occurred at Thatcher last night about 9 o'clock, when five young lives were destroyed by fire.
 Mrs. Tempy Collier, a widow. who lived in small lumber house on Main street, put her five children to bed last evening and went to the home of Hon. w. w. Pace, where she was aSsis- ing to cook for the threshers.
 1 he children were all asleep before Mrs. Collier left and the house closed up.
 About o'clock Richard Layton was passing and noticed the house on fire. He ran to it, kicked in the door and attempted to rescue the sleeping chil- dren, but when the door was broken the flames leaped out in such volumes that an entrance was impossible. By this time a large crowd had gathered but could do nothing but helplessly look On: the whole structure was a roaring mass of flames, in fact when the fire was first discovered the whole inside of the house must have been a sea of tire and the children dead. i When the reScuers could get into the ruins d terrible spectacle met their gaze There lay the cnarred remains of the three little girls where they { had peacefully laid their heads or | their pillows: they had not moved | he remains Ul the two boys were found near the door, which offers the only solution as to how the fire origi mated The flesh was burned away entirely and portions of the bone; were consumed. One of the smallest children could be recognized. It haC evidently turned on its face and cover ed its head with the bed clothing 1 which preserved the face to some eX tent. Each Of the other childrer was almost consumed.
 The only theory as to tbe origin O the fire is that the boys must nave lii a match, for the purpose of getting drink, which ignited some paper where ! the water bucket stood. This piODa l bly accounts for the bodies of the boys being found away from the bed.
 The children ranged from , to l: ! years of age.

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that he in- tends to devote his entire fortune to charitable works has aroused much discussion This is because it will accomplish much good. 1t is a praise worthy entieavor, but there are many other agencies which accomplish just as much good. Take Hostetter'S stomach bitters for instance the great American remedy. For 50 years it has cured constipation, dyspepsia and all the ills which arise from weak digestion. This medicine will keep the stomach in good shape and the bowels regular. 1t is wonderful re- storative tonic and health builder. It is also a preventative for malaria, fe- yer and ague. Ask for it, and insist upon having it. See that private revenue stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

A Discrimination.

An unjust discrimination is being made by the railroad against the lar merS Uf this valley and the matter should be given prompt, vigorous at tentiun. A freight rate is charged on barley from SatfOrd tO Globe Of 10 cents per loo pounds, While the same article is shipped from Los Angeles to Globe for 6j cents.
 Barley in this valley should be never worth less than SIPS per hundred, but at such freight rate from Los Ange' les 1t is worth about Sl.00. We do not deny the right Of the railroad to haul barley from Los Angeles to Globe for 6j cents, but we do question its right to charge almost two-thirdS as much from Stafford. If the tariff is made in proportion to the distance il would 1 be no more than fair, then the farmers
 will receive good price for their grain.
 1 Properly viewed it is to the interest of the railroad, if any discrimination
 is made, to make it in favor of this | valley, for the better price our farmers get for their grain the more money ] they will have to purchase modern ' improvements for their farms, all of
 which must be shipped over the rail- l road More than this the people of | this county have done their part in every particular by the railroad com
 pany and it is no more than right that 1 the company treat them fairly in I return.
 l The discrimination referred to above
 not only affects the farmers but every
 business man as well, for the money
 that should come here for grain is
 going to California. Graham County l Guardian.

MISSOURI ELECTION.
Claim to Have Elected 10 Of tho
10 Congressman.

St. Louis, Nov. s.-lncomplete re-
turns from various points in Missouri
indicate that Bryan's majority will be
about $4,000 and that of Dockery and
the state ticket some $4,000. Outside
of St. Louis the democrats have lost
heavily, while the republicans have
made considerable gains. In the city,
however, the democratic gain is
something phenomenal the result
showing $4,000 for the city ticket and
nearly as many for Dockery and the
presidential electors. This increase
more than counterbalances the loss in
the state, which the democratic lead
ers now estimate at about 10000 or
10000.
In addition to the election of gov
ernor, the st. Louis ticket and the
Bryan electors, the democrats have
carried the state legislature, which
State Chairman Seibert, from incom-
plete returns, estimates will be demo-

of amendments four and five which
now insure for Missouri the great

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. William
Jennings Bryan reached here this
morning from the East. He speaks
enthusiastically of his trip through
New England, where he says the con
ditions for Democratic success in the
fall are most promising. He found a
strong sentiment there in favor of the
party of the people and predicts a
wholesale return of those who deserted
the Democratic standard in 1896. Mr..
Bryan will leave here Monday morning
for Richmond, Va, where he will speak
that evening" then he goes to Raleigh,
N. c., to speak Tuesday evening, and
then to Brookville, Fla, where he will
spend week with relatives. Mr..
Bryan will resume his journey west
ward, speaking en- route. He will
rejoin his family in Texas in about a
month.

Congressional Candidates.

The political situation in the congress
sional districts is beginning to attract
some attention. In this district there
is strong probability that Hon. Pat
Henry of Brandon, the present incum-
bent, will find himself opposed for re-
election by Hon. r. H. Henry, editor
of the Clarion-Ledger. The pros
pective candidacy of Mr. Henry has
already caused much favorable com
ment in the press of the district.
In the first district it seems unsettled
whether or not John Allen will stand
for re election. 1t is said that in case
he does not, Hon. E. O. Sykes of Aber-
deem, Judge Cayce of Columbus and
Hon. W. M. Cox of Prentiss will prob
ably make the race.
In the Second Congressional district
no one has as yet announced, but it is
a certainty that there will be a hot
fight, as usual in that district, for the
nomination. Hon. Thomas Spight,
VhC plCoCuU Will pEODdDlN
be opposed by Col. j. w. T. Falkner of
Oxford, w. A. Mcdonald of Ashla nd
and j. B. Boothe of Sardis In ad
dition, Hon. c. L. Sively of Oxford is
being favorably mentioned in this
connection.
In the third district Gen. Catchings
has announced that he will not be a
candidate, but his place will be
contested for, according to the general
opinion,Iby B. G. Humphreys of Green
wood, j. l.. Hebron of Greenville, Pat
Henry of Vicksburg and j. w. Cutrer
of Clarksdale.
In the fourth district it looks as if
Capt. Fuller Fox will be reelected
without opposition.
In the fifth district John Sharp Viii
liams will be opposed by Chancellor
Adam Byrd of Neshoba county.
In the sixth district McLain is the
only announced candidate
