WHEN the ice in the Red river
went out few weeks ago it
was at the lowest mark that it has
reached any spring during the
last eighteen years. Much of the
sickness prevalent at this time
among the towns in the Valley is
said to be caused by the use of
same for drinking purposes.

CAVALIER county's crop acreage
this year will be immense. The
season opened fully two weeks
earlier than has been known to
be the case for a number of years
past and with lots of time on their
hands farmers have generally
taken care that everything was
sown in the best of shape.

The last of the three investi-
cations, Roberts, CLARK and Quay
was wound up last week. The
committee disposed of them in the
one, two, three order and their
seats in the senate of the United
States will remain empty. Roberts
had too many wives, Clark spent
too much for votes and Quay
attempted to get in by means of
which the constitution of these
United States very highly disap-
proves.

The fact that farmers can con-
tract flax for October at a dollar
and fifteen cents a bushel, that
being the present quotation of the
flax market for October delivery
is likely to stimulate many far
mers to turn their attention largely
to flax again this season.

during the week it is learned that

Knight Templar Work.

On last Monday night Clinch Valley
Commandery, No. 20, K. T., had very
interesting conclave. There were three
candidates present who we're given the
Orders of Knighthood, viz: Messrs. w. j..
Kreamer and q. w. Sample, of Swords
Creek, and Mr. +. B. woodward, of Giles
county. There was an unusual attendance
of Knights from other points, among them
Messrs. Thomas P. Ford and w. ]. Ken
drick, of Honaker, Mr.. N. l.. Mcleod, Of
Pounding Mill, Mr.. Martin Mara, OF
Bluefeld and T. r. Smoot, of Witten's
Mill. The local members of the Comman-
derry were out IN unusual numbers, and
the work was done with smoothness and
correctness that is rarely equaled. 1t was
the most interesting meeting we have ever
attended of.Clinch Valley Commandery.
After the work had been completed all
the Sir Knights repaired to Central Hotel,
where an excellent supper was served and
heartily enjoyed by all who sat down at
the tables.
MIR. Will White had shown excellent
taste in preparing the bill of fare and was
complimented by all the guests.

ROOSEVELT AT LINCOLN.
A Great Demonstration Gotten Up for
Him at Bryans Home.

Lincoln, Neb., October Ex-Governor
Roosevelt was accorded a magnificent de-
monstraton this afternoon by the citizens
of Lincoln. Nothing equal to it has yet
been seen during the progress of the Gov
ernor's journey through the West. Along
the line of march from the station to Capt.
tai House Square the streets, windows and
balconies were filled with cheering people.
In many places the crowds were so dense
as to impede the passage Of the carriages
and the mounted escort.
Arriving at Capital House Square, Gov.
ernor Roosevelt was conducted to a review.
ing stand, before which the long process
sion passed in review more than an hour.
There were many unique and amusing
features in the parade.
Governor Roosevelt was conducted TO a
speaker stand, where he spoke for three
quarters of an hour, going over the same
ground in bis remarks as he has travelled
over before upon the issues of expansion,
militarism. On bis way from the stand to
his carriage, he was fairly mobbed by a
wildly eager crowd who wished to shake
bis hand or to get word or look OF recog-
milton. He reached his carriage some
what battered in appearance but in fine
spirits.

CARLISLE ON ELECTIONS.
His Reply TO An Invitation From The
Anti.Beckham Faction.

Louisville, KY, October LIN a letter
dated New York, September 2S, written
to the campaign committee of the "honest
election Democrats who have endorsed the
Republican nominee, John w. Yerkes, for
governor of Kentucky, Hon. John q. Car
Isle declines an invitation to act as vice
president at the opening meeting of the
honest election Democrats, on the ground
that he is no longer citizen of Kentucky.
Mr.. Carlisle adds:
"It is scarcely necessary to say that l
am in thorough sympathy with every ef-
fort in Kentucky or elsewhere to secure
the freedom of elections and an honest ex-
preston of the will of the people, as ex-
pressed at the polls. Fraudulent voting is
no more reprebensible than fraudulent
counting of the votes after they are cast.
In fact the latter is the greater evil, be-
cause the outrage upon the right of suf-
frage is committed by sworn officials of
the law upon whose integrity and good
faith the people are compelled to rely for
maintenance of the right of the majority
to control the affairs of State. This is the
basic principle of our Republican form Of
government, and any system of fraud or
corruption which defeats its practical oper-
alton will necessarily, sooner or later, re-
suit in the destruction of all the political
rights of the people"

Financially the entertainment was also
quite a success. Home talent is always
appreciated at Tazewell, and draws we'll

PLOT TO KILL
THE PRESIDENT.
Conspiracy COncOcted in Chicago Un-
earthed in Nick Of Time.
ASSESSINS En- ROUTE TO CANTON.
Described by Secret Service Men as Two
Italians and an Old Man Pos
ing as q Soldier

Canton, October 3.-All through the
night and the early hours of the morning
messages have been coming here by tele-
graph and telephone asking il it was true
that President Mckinley had been assas'
sinated. The inquiries came from Repub-
lcan politicians and leaders of all sections
of the country, declaring that the report
had been received in their various locali
ties that Mckinley was assasinated. All
were informed that the report wa. untrue.
The reports were the result OF the dis
covery of an alleged plot to assassinate the
President. The discovery led to the most
extraordinary precautions for guarding the
President. The conspiracy was concOcted
in Chicago and word came here in an
alarming dispatch from the secret service
men.
Three men we're reported to be on the
way here to carry the plans into effect,
and are expected to arrive at any moment.
They will be arrested Immediately upon
their arrival. They are described as two
Italians and an old man posing as a SOL
dier.
The mayor has issued an order TO the
police to watch all strangers, and the road
past the Presidents house is now patrolled
with the greatest cere.

HANNA WON'T ESTIMATE.
Says Mckinley Will Win but Declines to
Give Particulars.

Chicago, October l. Senator Hanna,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee arrived from the East today.
"Any man who would put straw in
the way of settlement of the great coal
miners strike now progressing in Pennsyl-
vania, should be taken to the nearest lamp
post and hanged" said Senator Hanna
this afternoon.
Il don't want to talk about the strike.
1 don't think that it should be mixed up
in party or political questions and should
not be discussed from political stand
point. No one should be permitted to
use it for political capital. 1t is the duty
of every man to do his utmost to end the
deplorable trouble.
81 am going to do everything in my
power to win the election of Mckinley
and Roosevelt, and believe we will win,
too: but l will not give estimates of States
or predict msjorities. l will remain in
Chicago during the remainder of the cam
paign, and l will make no speeches out
side this city. Here, however, may adj
dress the laboring men several times. |
like to talk to the working men. They
can understand me, and | understand
them"

A REPUBLICAN TABLE.
They Claim 266 Votes as Certain For
Mckinley.

New York, October 2.-ln statement
issued from Republican national head
quarters through Committeeman Manley,
the National Committee claims 266 votes
certain in the Electoral College for Nc
Kinley, ll2 for Bryan, and 81 were put
down as in doubt.
The States conceded to Bryan are Ala.
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louis
lana, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia. III the doubtful column
is put Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nevada, Nebraska and
Utah. Everything else is put down for
Mckinley but Indiana, which, with its
fifteen votes, is admitted to be in doubt.
When shown this Republican claim, MIR.
Richardson, for the Democrats, character
lied it as only $50 much boasting." He
added that the Democrats also had poll
which was very different from the Repub-
lican one, but that it would not be made
public.

WOUNDS MAY BE FATAL.
Kent Brown, CoIOred, Shot by Sergeant
GreeVer at Graham

Kent Brown, a son Of Cheshire Brown,
one of the best known colored men of this
city, was shot and probably fatally wound
ed by Town Sergeant Greever at Graham
yesterday. Brown worked at the railroad
shops and went down to Graham on busi
ness. 1t seems that the Town Sergeant
had a warrant for him and proceeded TO
serve it, Brown ran and the officer shot
him in the back just below the right
shoulder. The officer claims that Brown
resisted arrest and came on him with a
knife.
The company sent an engine after Brown
but his condition was such that he had to
be carried home. After being shot the
boy made his way some distance from
Graham toward this city.-Bluefeld Tele-

FILIPINO AGENTS LETTER.
His View of The Situation in American
Politics.

Washington, October 2.-The War De-
partment has just received from General
Macarthur by mail another batch of in
surgent papers captured by the American
troops. Among them is letter from
Theodore Sandico, agent for the Filipino
Junta, at Hong Kong, to Lieutenant Colo
mel Casmirio Tinio. The writer says in
part:
"The present campaign and some other
circumstances have created in America
political situation which may perhaps pro-
duce the downfall of Mckinley, which will
signify the triumph Of our ideal. For the
same reason the disastrous war in the
Transvaal, and more especially the fierce
revolution in China, has created political
atmosphere of sufficiently critical nature to
cause the birth of disturbance of the
armed peace of the great powers that may
result favorably to our aspirations, because
America may prefer to sacrifice some OF
her plans with respect 10 tne fhihPpln'
Islands, accepting our independence under
protecorate, rather than sustain two wars
and run the risk of losing the archipelago.
| believe then that under the condition so
favorably colored by the present clrcum-
stances, it is necessary that we continue
the struggle and only accept peace on
basis of independence, although under an
American protecorate. \
"If the re. election Of Mr. Mckinley be
accomplished and revolution in China be
wiped out and the war in the Transvaal
take no new complications, then l will he
the first to accept the peace that believe
to be necessary, though it be at the cost OF
acknowledging the sovereignty OF the
United States, since | consider that our
forces are now impotent to defend our
sacred and legitimate rights"
General Macarthur in transmitting
these papers says Possibly Sandlco Is
as close to Aguinado as any of the leaders
who continue in open hostilties."

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Senator Tillman says, THAT the Supreme
Court of the United States will declare the
DISTINGUISHING acts Of South Carolina and
louisiana unconstitutional" The Rich.
mond Times says the acts in North Caro-
lima and Mississippi will share the same
fate.
The Virginia Democrats are now very
much concerned as to the proper time to
hold the constitutional convention by
which they propose to disfranchise one
third of the voters Of the State. They are
afraid Governor Tyler will not call the
Legislature together in extra session, that
it may fix the time for holding the con.
vention and apportioning the delegates.
We heard a Democrat enquire few
days ago of another how long he thought
the good times would last. That depends
upon circumstances. If Bryan is elected
there will be an end of good times for four
years. Capital will ut once be hidden
away, and business will become stagnated.
The business men of the country say they
will not risk their capital in any enterprise
with such visionary demagogue ss Bry.
an in the Presidential chair.
The New York Herald has made great
many of its Democratic readers sick. That
paper, after careful canvass of the coun.
try, announces that President Mckinley
will receive 258 votes in the Electoral Col.
lege, certain; and Mr.. Bryan 1853, and that
twenty.one votes are doubtful. We ven-
ture the prediction that President McKin-
ley will receive not less than three hun.
dred votes in the Electoral College.
Do not mention the ''great crime Of
1873" to Bryanite, without you wish to
disgust him. His mind is now too much
engaged with studying the momentous
danger, imperialism, to give a moments
thought to the great crime he howled
about in 1896. Then he was interested in
the question of how the "poor, oppressed
Iaboring man" was to get bread and meat
Now he is terribly alarmed about the lib.
critics of the people. The political fakir
has introduced new fake.
David b. Hill, in speech in Brooklyn,
on the night of the LIST inst, insisted that
the modern Democratic idea that the Con-
stitution follows the flag had always been
held by the Democratic party, and that
citizen in one Of the Territories, without
Congressional action, would be entitled to
the privileges of the habeas corpus. Mr..
Hill ought to remember that Andrew
Jackson while Governor Of the Territory
of Florida, denied that the Federal Judge
| in that territory had the right TO issue
writ of habeas corpus and refused 10 let
the writ be executed. The question was
appealed to President Monroe, who sus.
tanned Governor Andrew jackson. "Old
Hickory" continued to rule Florida in an
executive, legislative and judicial capacity,
until Congress extended the Constitution
to the territory. This was under Demo-
cratic administration; and Andrew Jack
son was the father Of the Democracy which
is founded upon the spoils system.

ONE OF THEM OBJECTIONABLE.
Not Believed That Any of The Powers Will
Consent to Treat With Yung Lu-DiS-
patch From Consul McWade Con-
firms Degradation of Tuan
oud 0fhapo

Washington, October 1.-Several dis
patches of importance were received today
from China. Generally they tend to con-
firm the events recorded Saturday. From
Canton, Consul McWade reports the issue
of the decree furnishing Tuan and bis COL
leagues, so that there is no longer doubt as
to the accuracy of Sheng's statement on
that point.
Mr.. Conger also has received official
notification of the Chinese Peace Commis-
sion, which was forecasted by Minister
Wu's dispatch several days ago. MIR. Con-
ger makes no reference to the condemna-
tory decree, hence it is inferred that it was
not issued when his dispatch was sent last
Thursday.
The text of these two dispatches are as
follows;
Canton, China, October 1.-Secretary
of State, Washington
Decree just issued. Emperor blames
ministers for whole trouble. Orders Tuan
Kangi and other officials degraded and
punished by imperial courts. Emperor
holds Tuan and others entirely responsible
for bloodshed. MCWADE."
Pekin, September 27, via Taku, Sep
tember 3O.-Secretary of State, Washing
ton {;
"Have received notice today from
Prince Ching that he, Earl Ii, Yung Lu
and Viceroys Tia Kuan vi and Chang
Chih lung will act in concert in negOtia-
tions for peace. Yung Lu is in the interior,
Lii Hung Chang is at Ten Tsin.
"CoNGER."
1t is evident that the two viceroys men,
toned are Liu Kun vi, the vicerOy of Nam
king, and Ching Chih Tung, the viceroy
of WI Chang, the difference in spelling be-
ing in Geographic transmission.
There was some question as to Yung Lu
being a member of the commission, but
Mr. Conger's report settles all doubt. AL
ready Mr.. WI had received an edict NAM
ing Yuny Lu as one Of the commission,
but this was questioned in other Chinese
quarters. The appointment is not likely
to be satisfactory to any of the powers, as
Yung Lu has made himself almost as Of
fensive as Prince Tuan. He is generallis-
slmo of the imperial troops, and is regard
ed as mainly responsible for the persistent
fight on the legations during the crisis.
The other commissioners are highly ac-
ceptable. Earl Ii and Prince Ching are
already favorably known, and the two
viceroys are among the most pacific, en-
lightened and prominent men in the en-
pire.
