MURDERED FOR MONEY.
Husb band And Wife Found Dead
In Their Home.
Bodies Discovered by Neighbors-
Murdered Man Was Supposed
To Have Between $500 And
$4,000 in His Possession.

Many, La, Oct. 19.-Thos.
McGregor and wife were found
dead at their home about ten
miles west of here yesterday.
Both had been shot, and Nc
Gregor had been stabbed three
times in the breast. The murders
are supposed to have been COM
mitted on Friday, the 18th, as
SCOT from the chimney near
which their bodies were lying
had fallen upon their faces in
such manner as to indicate that
the crime was committed before
the last rain, Oct. II. Their
bodies were in a badly decom-
posed condition. They had no
children.
AS they had not been seen for
several days, neigh bors began
to make inquiries, and yesterday
some of them went to the Nc
Gregor house. Immense focks
of buzzards were lowering about
the residence. Upon opening the
doors CHASTITY sight was wit
messed. The coroner's inquest
was held, but nothing was devel-
oped in the testimony that would
furnish clew to the perpetrators
of the murders. It is believed,
however, the murders were COM
mitted for money. McGregor
recently sold his farm, and was
supposed to have had between
$500 and $4,000 in his possession.
He was lastseen at Zwolle, Friday,
Oct. IL, where it is said he col
lected 500 in gold that was due
him. Mrs. McGregor had $40,
which was found sewed up in a
mattress, and McGregor had $40
on his person which the MUIR
derers did not get. The COM
munity is greatly excited. Of
ficers will use efferts to find the
murdererS.

A Big Blaze.

Last Monday at u o'clock the
continual blowing OF locomotive
whistle sounded the alarm of fire
and it was soon discovered that
the saw and planning mill of w. W..
Lambe & Co., was burning.
Before any assistance arrived the
the saw mill was enveloped in
flames which we're then rapidly
spreading to the large dry kilns
and planer. The large crowd
that soon Assem- bled lent heroic
assistance in trying to extinguish
the fire, and all buckets, hand
grenades and chemical extin-
guishers available were put into
service and everything possible
was done to save the plant but
all was in vain. The flames
had gotten under such Roadway
that nothing short of well
equipped fire company could have
had any effect.
The plant Is total loss besides
a large quantity of lum Der.
The loss was about $50, 10000
with S1S,000.00 insurance.
The company will rebuild at
an early date, but for the present
a large number of people are
thrown out of employment.

Dined A Negro.

President Roosevelt dined Book
err T. Washington at the White
House with his family a few days
ago and has thus destroyed al
the good impressions he has made
with the Southern people since
his induction into office. So far,
he has not offered an explanation
which is demanded by all decent
Americans, but few of his "Bost-
ing" friends assume that the
President has Il right to do as he
pleases.
That's alright so far as it goes,
but then, if he has no respect for
his own wife and children he
should have some for the great
multitude of people whom he rep
resents. The southern people
are the best friends the negro
ever had and have done more for
him than anyone else, but they
have given him to understand
that social equality can never be
obtained and the southern negro
don't expect It. We can see no
earthly motive in President
Roosevelt placing his family and
himself on social equality with a
negro and can see no motive in
Booker T. Washington seeking
or accepting such honors. Wash
ington does not claim to be a
politician but is preaching to his
race industrial education.
Now if Roosevelt IS seeking
that kind of notoriety just for his
own personal qualification he
should resign his Office and open
negro boarding house in "Bost-
ing" We cannot see where his
action in dining a negro at the
White House will benefit any
portion of the American people or
assist in solving the race problem.
1t will injure the Republican
party in the South and tend to
revive a feeling of hatred between
the two sections.

NEW TANGLED FISH STORY.
First Under Water Operation Known
to Science Performed in
Home Aquarium.

DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, the president
of the Academy of Natural Sciences,
is very fond of a collection of gold
fish which he keeps in big aquarium
in his office. Some months AGO one
of the most amiable of these fish de-
veloped kind of fungus growth on
its tail. The growth became huge
and the fish lost appetite, grew thin
and seemed to be pining away. says
the Philadelphia Record. 1t turned
mt last on it's side-a sign that it was
half dead, as all keepers of aquaria
know.
DR.. Dixon then decided to operate
on the goldfish and with great care
he performed the first underwater
operation known to science, ampu-
tating entire the tail. which had
been rendered useless by the fungi
overrunning it. The goldfish bore
the shock well and began forthwith
to improve in health Stranoest Of
all is the fact that fine new tail bag
already grown out from the stump
of the diseased one.
