Is PARIS, Nov. 26.-Mr. Kruger arrived
In Paris at l0:40 q. m. and was given q
magnificent reception. The boulevards
were crammed with vast crowds.
Mr.. Kruger, and party entered the
train at DIXON ct $50 a. m. In spite Of
the early hour fair number Of inhab-
itants assembled on the platform to
cheer the departing statesman. Mr..
! Kruger uttered few words of thanks
to the city for its splendid welcome.
The train only stopped once en- route,
at Laroche. where a deputation with
flags was waiting at the station to pre-.
sent Mr.. Kruger with warmly word.
ed address of admiration and sympathy
for the Boer cause.
Elsewhere along the route there were
the same scenes as on the previous day.
People were waiting on the sides of the
track and on bridges and other points
OF vantage. They waved their hats
and cheered as the train rushed past at
the highest speed.
Remarkable spectacle at raris.
Nearing Paris these gatherings grew
more frequent and Of larger numbers
until the train approached the termi-
nus, the Care de yon, here. Then a
remarkable spectacle was presented.
Not only the windows but the roofs of
tine houses commanding view of the
track were covered with spectators. In
addition the railroad employees, engl.
neers, cleaners, porters and guards had
c.ambered on the trains lying on the
side OF the tracks and at the coaling
piatforms-at every point where a
glimpse only of the train itself could
be secured. This, however. was merely
foretaste of the spectacle which
greeted Mr.. Kruger's eyes when the
train steamed into the station itself
Notwithstanding stringent precautions
to admit only ticket holders large as.
semblage filed the station, while
through the open doors could be seen a
huge concourse of people gathered in
the courtyard outside. The mayor and
municipal councillors, number of
senators, deputies, army officers and
reporters were mustered on the plat
form.
l.s Welcomed by the Mayor.
Mr.. Kruger was to have passed
through the station hall, which had
been especially arranged as d salon of
honor, being protusely decorated with
flowers, and where he was to be for
.lally received by the mayor and mu-
nlcipal councillors. But for some rea-
son the mayor welcomed him on the
platform instead and Mr.. Kruger, to
the disappoin tment OF those waiting in
the salon OF honor, passed out through
another door to the front of the station,
where a landau was drawn up. Mr.
Kruger entered this vehicle and was at
once driven off for his hotel, amid en-
thusiastic cheering. which followed
HIM along the whole route-along the
outer boulevards, across the Place de la
Republique, which Was perfect sea of
spectators, and through the central
bouleyards. He arrived at the Hotel

SMALLPOX AT WAGON Err.
The Disease in That Place
Causes no Alarm.
Wagner, Jan. 15, 1900.

Editor Chieftain: There has
been much talk about the small
/ pox in Wagner. The facts in the
case are these: Mr.. E. e. Weld
ons family was afflicted with what
is supposed to be smallpox in a
mild form. The family have all
recovered and | have seen some of
them on the street and no one can
tell that they have had smallpox,
not mark on them. A young
doctor in delicate health went
there during the time Of their sick
ness and was confined to the place
and died there either from his own
doctoring or the disease. This is
all the white people that nave
been in any way afflicted here; sew
erai negroes have been down with
this same complaint but did not
suffer much from it; recovered in
a few days, all but two, one of
them was an old negro preacher. !
1t was supposed that be had about
recovered. He sent up to the
mayor for eggs a short time before
he died while sitting in bis chair.
The other negro was a physical
wreck before he was taken down.
This is a true history Of the small
oox here. We have had seven
cen cases Of pneumonia buried in
he Wagner cemetery since the
scare and it don't seem
0 cause any alarm.
Respectfully,
WM. Jackson. 5

Ironside was impeached and Mr..

after Vinita was located, the near

There was no aristocracy or sets.

The story was started about a
month ago that Bill Cook, the out
law, was dying in a New York
penitentiary. He is still dying
but not dead, and what is more, he
wants to get out. The thought Of
a man like Bill Cook dying is too
awful to contemplate. Ten years
ago the report was sent out from
Saltwater, Minnesota, that Cole
Younger was dying, and almost
simultaneously a petition was
started asking for his pardon.

STATE AND TRUSTS.

AIR. Bird S. Color, Comptroller Of New
York City, is out with some new sug-
gestions as 10 the management of trusts.
He says that the fine mas come when the
great corporate interests of the country
which are united under the general desig-
nation OF trusts must be compelled in a
legitimate way To recognize that essential
the masses are superior to those OF the
individual or classes, and therefore must
prevail. That popular cIamor and po-
iiticaI agitation against a recognized eVii
which stops short Of effective and intelli-z
gent action is as senseless as it is useless.
That the adoption of sound political plat
form does not make good government, and
that general denunciation, no matter how
well founded, will never destroy trust or
reform a public abuse.
Mr. sCoier's idea is that trusts should be
subjected by State laws to State inspection
as national banks are now inspected by
federal officials, and he will seek to have
a plank embodying his idea incorporated
in the Democratic platform OF every State
in the Union, and Will also lay his pros
posal before the managers of the national
Democratic party.
Mr.. Coler insists that the same power

For our part, we are for emancipation

negro rule in the State. We say that the

party cannot stand on its merits, it de-.

We go a step farther and say that in
our opinion the greatest political need in
Virginia to-day is a strong, respectable
minority party which does not threaten
the State with negro rule or anything
akin to it and in whose hands, if success

But the Democratic party need nave no
