How She Won a Husband.

Middleton, N. Y, December 9.--Miss
Nina M. Tingley, who came to this city
four months ago to accept clerkship in
Wiggin's jewelry store, has solved the
question of how to make young men
hurry mp and pop the question. At least
1t has been successful in her own case,
and she has won husband in the person
OF Robert Dugdale, prosperous young
merchant of this city. On Friday Miss
I1ngley decided to accept more iuora-
tive position In Pittsburg, Pa, and noti-
fed her lover that she would leave on
Sunday. This was more than Dugdale
could stand, and Sunday, when the hour
arrived for her departure, he prevailed
upon her to remain under the promise
OF their being married at once. She
accepted the proposition, dressmaker
was called in and had her gown in readi.
ness for the ceremony, which followed
five hours later, at 10 o'clock on Sunday
night, In the presence of large gather
ing of friends at the Central boarding
house, where both have been stopping.

NO srR4GeLlNG BY DEMOCRATS.
Democrats, In Caucus, Decide to Present
United Front on all Questions.

The Democratic United States
Senators held their first caucus of the
present session last Wednesday. Ite
purpose was to consider committee
assignments, but the occasion was
more than ordinarily significant be-
cause of the general attendance upon
the caucus. All the Senators elected
as Democrats, with the exception of
z Senator McLaurin, of South Caro-
lima, werc present, as were all of the
Senators who were elected as Silver
Republicans or Populists. All the
Independents, except Senator Teller,
of Colorado; had entered the Demo-
cratic caucus held just before ad-
journment last March, but Senator
Teller then remained away. He was
present, however, at Wednesday,
conference and participated in the
proceedings.
The caucus was called at the in
stance of Senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas, who stated that he had thought
it possible that the new Senators
might want to make some change in
the officers Of the caucus. There
was, however, general expression
of satisfaction with the present <ai-
cials, and Senator Jones was fe-
elected unanimously chairman of the
caucus. The old committee on order
of business also was reappointed and
the one vacancy. on that conn. ittee
was filled by the selection Of Sera-
tor Dubois, of Idaho, who was the
choice of all the Western members
of the caucus.
TO PRESENT UNITED FRONT.
During the proceedings Senator
TillmaD suggested that there should
be frequent conferences and con-
tinued effort to agree upon the main
features Of al political controversies.
There as quite general response
to this suggestion, and the opinion
was fairly unanimous that the party
should present a united front, per.
mitting no more struggling than w9f
absolutely necessary. rs
Senator Jones presented state
ment from the Republican committee
on committees outlining it's wishes
as to the committee assignments,
from which it appeared that the Re-
oublicans were anxious to increase
the Republican membership of seve-
raj committees and to decrease the
Democratic membership of few of
the committees. The most impor-
tant change suggested by them was
that the Republicans should be al
lowed to add one member to their
side of the committee on commerce,
while the Democrats should agree to
surrender one of the places on that
committee held by them. The com
mittee as now constituted includes ten
Republican members and seven De-
mocratic members. It was decided
vigorously to resist this innovation.
WILL OPPOSE CHANGES.
The Republicans also expressed
a desire to increase the membership
of the committees on agriculture
and census to eleven each, the two
new members to be Republicans to
increase the committee on claims
from thirteen to fourteen, the Re.
publicans to have eight members and
the Democrats six, as against seven
and six, respectively, as the commit.
tee is now constituted. An increase
is also proposed in the committee on
foreign relations. AS it at present
stands the committee numbers eleven
members, four of whom are Domo.
Gratis. The proposal is to make i,

Hloody Duel With Knives.

| Dorayille, Ga, December 10.--In
bloody duel with knives, James
Pierce, farmer, was cut to death
and Thomas Collins, merchant,
of sheltonyille, was probably fatally
wounded on the Southern Bell, the
accommodation train which is due in
Atlanta at $50 this morning.
Both parties boarded the train at
Duluth, and shortly after it passed
Norcross it is said that Pierce, who
was in the smoker, went to the first
class coach and walking up to Col
lins said
81 understand you said you were
going to slap my face, and now you
have got to do it,"
With this the two men drew their.
knives and olinched, slashing each
other on the throat and head.
The passengers in the coach made
a break for the rear car, where the
conductor was engaged in taking up
the tickets from passengers who had
boarded the train at Norcross.
When he, learned of the trouble
Conductor Willingham, who is cour-
ageous and great favorite with the
patrons of the road, called on D. X.
Johnston, of Norcross Elmer Bar
rett and Robert Moon, of Flowery
Branch, and John Smith, of Gaines
vile, who followed him into the
coach where the men were fighting.
When Conductor Willingham and
d. K. Johnston, who were the first
to reach the men, arrived they found
them between the seats, almost COM
pletely exhausted by the loss of
blood. with Collins holding both
knives in his hand while Pierce was
holding him by the throat.
They were soon separated, but it
was seen that Pierce was fatally
wounded, as'the jugular vein on the
left side of his neck had been severed
and that several other wounds had
been inflicted. AN effort was made
to stop the flow of blood, but with
out success. He died from the loss
of blood soon after the train reached
this place.
Collins received serious wound
in the temple, another on the throat,
and several others on the head and
face, from which he bled profusely,
but the wounds are not necessarily
fatal. He was taken in charge by
Doctor Flowers, and his wounds
dressed. He is very weak, and the
loss of blood may have been so
great that he will not recover, al
though there are indications that he
will survive the wounds.
Pierce married the widow of
Green Collins, brother of Thomas
Collins, and it appears that Mrs.
Pierce after her second marriage,
claimed that she was not fairly
treated in the division of the land
owned by her former husband, and
became very bitter on this account.
After she married Pierce he took
up the fight against Thomas Collins,
which has been almost a continual
quarrel until it ended in the duel
to-day.
Collins is highly respected mer-
chant and is an influential citizen.
Pierce was farmer, and also
stood very well in his community.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the result
of torpid liver or irregular action Of
the bowels. Unless natures refuse Is
carried off it will surely cause impure

of throwing off the poisons which the
bowels fail to remove. DeWitt's Lit

DOWN IN KANSAS.
FROM THE DENVER NEWS.


FROM THE DENVER NEWS.
There is always something doing
Down in Kansas;
Trouble on and trouble brewing,
Down in Kansas.
All the world in wonder gazes
At the everlasting crazes
That are raising hell and blazes
Down in Kansas.
Now Mrs. Lease is yelling,
= Down in Kansas;
Now Governor lie yelling,
Down in Kansas;
Now it is Carrie Nation,
With some startling innovation,
Who is causing tribulation,
Down in Kansas.
Now the whiskers of a PETER,
Down in Kansas.
Monkeys with the gentle zephyr,
Down in Kansas;
Now it's an Ingalls, spouting,
Or a J. Ralph Burton shouting,
Some new freak is always sprouting,
Down in Kansas.
Ii the 1OlkS Dy chance are quleU,
Down in Kansas,
Then the weather starts a riot,
Down in Kansas;
O. the wind it is wonder,
When it gets to raising thunder;
1t rips everything asunder,
Down in Kansas.
They have cyclones in the summers,
Down in Kansas;
And, 1 tell you, they are hummers,
Down in Kansas
When it comes to things climatic,
They're a little bit emphatic;
And are also quite erratic,
Down in Kansas.
Still there's much for admiration,
Down in Kansas;
There is nothing like stagnatiOn,
Down in Kansas;
All the folks are on their muscle;
And the state is filled with hustle;
And they rustic and they hustle,
Down in Kansas.
