been discovered, the total that the
treasury was plundered by the en-

thing awful. That there was gen

first made evident when the fat sal

came the unitemized bills. which
opened the hoodgates for fraud.
But the fat salaries and unitem-

campaign came on. members of the
Ring went screaming up and down
the county declaring that there was
not a single flaw in the fusion ad

declared that the Republicans had
not made "A single point against the
Fusionists that needed answering,
although the Republicans, includ-
ing the HERALD, had specified the
very plundering bills of the COM
missioners that the Fusion county
attorney now exposes in an official
communication.
The every act and word of the
Fusion speakers on the stump in
this county last fall shows a meth
odical plan to cover up this plum
dering of the county treasury.
The records of the county were
denied. We who published the rec

takers-but let that pass. We now
have one of their own Fusionists
to repeat the charges, and bring
them officially TO the attention Of
the public.

Army Enters Daphne

Just as the first rays of the sun were taking their morning bath in the beauti- full Mobile Bay, Colonel Hand with an advance guard of his army, entered Daphne, and surprised the early risers of that town by their very untimely ap- pearance. They drove straight to the court house and summoned Sheriff Bryan. MT. Hand informed him that they had come to move the court house, the Sher- if loked at Hand and asked him if he was going to take it in his buggy. No, I guess 1 can't let you move it today, MT Hand; some other day, perhaps" replied the Sheriff. Just at this time c. E. Marks walked up and informed the Sheriff that he had a prisoner that he desired to turn over to him and handed him Justice Days mittimus. The Sheriff glanced al the paper, aud turning to Hand, said Goodbye MT. Hand, ! am sorry to dis appoint you, come to see us again. He turned with the prisoner and started to the, jail. Hand and about dozen of the boys followed, and when the door was unlocked they all walked in. The Sherlff did not see the chisels and hammers that were concealed on and about thelr per sons or he might have suspected some thing. Then another short dialogue oc- cured between Hand and the Sherln.
 "Gentlemen, you must walk out, or l will be compelled to lock you In, said the officer.
 'All right" said Hand. that is eX- actly what We expected you to do.

THE OLDEST INDIAN,
Slowly Dying at His Home Near
 Eufaula.

Eufaula q. T) Journal.
 John Lottka, who says he Is little more than a hundred years old, is slowly dying of old age at his little home two miles south of Eufaula. John was thirty odd years old and a veteran warrior when he came to the Indian Territory from Alabama with his people. He is one of the few survivors of the Indian war with Jackson.
 Baptist Church, and otherwise good man. A few days since he became i'll and realized that he was dying and be- gan to set his house in order. He sent for his friend John Ingram and gave him the money to settle up what debts he owed. John said he was now too old to enjoy life and wanted to die.
 John Lottka, according to his own state ment, though he does not know the eX- act date, was born In east central Ala bama about 1799 or 1900. He has seen his people, the Creeks. pass through many periods of their history. When he was a young warrior they were numerous and powerful. rich in great and rich coun- try comprising the greater part of Ala bama and Georgia and part of Miss issippi and Florida. He participated in their early successful wars and later in the disastrous wars with the white men. He saw them lose their country little by little. and he saw his people die by war and famine and finally their removal to the Indian Territory where the tribe took a new lease on life and again became happy and prosperous until the white tune, kill the game and ruin the Indian.
 The history of the Creek people is a sad one and it is typified in the life of John Lottka

 The arlu training of inclEn1r is.


 The early training of a jockey Is thor ough, severe and relentless. The boys sleep in a stable loft over the horses. Summer and winter they are awakened at daybreak by groom pounding on the boards. They jump into their clothes, shivering in the early mornings chill. and hurry to a pump where a douse of cold water sweeps away the cobwehB of sleep. Then to the horses, and for two hours each boy 'exercises his string" A string consists of two horses. and , exercising" means walking them about the track until they are agreeably warm.
 After breakfast-and the food of a jockey school is of the most nourshing sort-the youngsters exercise another string and employ an hour or more in doing chores. The afternoon they spend at the track, and by o'clock in the evening they must be abed. Plenty of time is allowed them for recreation. The trainers encourage the bOvs i' e'ch sN"~ts as swimming running and ball playing. By constant practice of open air diver sions Tod Sloane has maint" med his cellent condition To this day he will leap five foot fence rather than go through the gate. Marbles is the favor ite game of stable boys. After winning a twenty-five thousand dollar race at Man. chester, England, last year Johnny Reiff was found deeply interested playing mar bles while Lord Rosebery was waiting outside the paddock to congratulate him.

Public Suicide of a Chinese Widow

uCtl1u I11llO.
 Last Sunday, in one of the suburbs,
 after two postponements, one on account of the typhoon and the other owing to
 the floods, the public suicide by hanging
 of a Chinese widow was witnessed by
 several hundreds of spectators. The poor
 woman resolved on committing the deed
 immediately after the death of her hus-
 band. She sold the paddy field she pos
 sessed for Gl60 and purchased some
 splendid clothes and coffin with the
 money.
 It was in vain, so the story goes. that the taotai tried to frighten her by the assertion that such visitations as the late typhoon and floods had been brought upon us through such wickedness as hers. | Besides. did she not know that to take her own life was against the laws of the land? How is 1t, then" she asked. that the temple specially set apart for the worship of widows intending to commit suicide should be allowed by the govern ment to remain?" All argument was un- availing Suffice it to say the suicide come off, as already stated Sunday | last without let or hindrance on the part l of the authorities or anybody else in the presence of an admiring crowd. the wo-
 man having bedecked herself in the finest of fine clothes for the occasion.
