STRUCK DOWN.
Slain in the Hour of Success

The Indian who trailed the hunter
silently and secretly through the
woods, often played with his victim
as cat plays with mouse. Just in
the moment of the hunters success,
the blow fell; silent, sudden, swift.
There are certain forms of disease
which seem inhumanly malevolent.
Like the Indian they seem to play
with the victim, until some day when
he has reached the height of success
and is thinking to take life easy, y
disease strikes him down, perhaps
never to rise again, or mayhap to
drag out the remainder OF existence
in physical pain and privation.
The best exampleo of such malevo-
lent disease is found in dyspepsia
and allied forms of Stomach trou-

THE PLANT WILL CONTEST.
Hearing Commenced in the Suit o
Late MilIiOnairen WfdoM.

Late Mtll1On81res Widow.
The trial of the action brought by Mrs
Margaret ]. Plant to upset the will of her
husband, Henry Bradley Plant, the railroad
and steamship capitalist, was begun in the
New York supreme court yesterday before
Justice Leventritt Mortimer +. Plant. the
son of the plaintiff, joins with her in her eff
forts to upset the will, although for the
purposes of the action he is named as a
defendant.
Mr.. Plant left estate of 10000 600 and
being apparently Of the opinion that the
great property accumulated by him after
he had attained his fiftieth year might be
dissipated by his immediate heirs, he had
a will drawn, with the object of keeping
his estate intact for at least sixty years
His widow and son were left an income
of $4,000 year each, for which a special
fund was created. The residue and ac-
cumulations were left to the Oldest SON OF
Mortimer f. Plant, who Is now eight years
old, and he is not to receive the fortune
until his youngest child is of age. The
Plant millions are thus left in reality to a
great grandson of the testator, and he can
not recover a cent of the property until
his youngest brother or sister has reached
ma iority The estate will, 1t Is estimated
by that time be worth 500, 100000
The will was probated in New Haven,
Conn. where the Plants had a summer
home, and that state was claimed by the
testator as his legal residence.
The will was drawn by Joseph Lynde
Harrison of New Haven, who is named as
one of the trustees. Mr.. Harrison is named
as one of the defendants by Mrs. Plant, as
mer Freeman Plant. George L. Tilley and
Robert G. Erwin. Mrs. Plant asks that a
receiver be appointed over certain prop
erty by the New York courts. and that the
courts here take entire charge Of the es-
tate She prays that the will and codicils
be upheld only as far as they are con-
sistent with the laws OF this state, and that
the defendants be directed to bring back
into the Jurisdiction of the New York
courts ali securities and property removed
therefrom. stf K

"Gentlemen, you've lots of time" said
Alexander You're burning an innocent
man. You took advantage OF me. You
gave me no show. Can L see my mother!
A man in the court called for the
mother, but she was not IN the croWu.
Father Applies Match.
Coal oil was then applied for the second
time. and while 1t was being done AleXan-
der called to acquaintances in the crowd
and said goodbye to them. He did not
seem to realize that he was to be burned at
the stake, and talked nationally until John
Forbes the father Of the murdered girl.
lighted the match. Again Alexander was
asked to make confession, but ne repheo
that he had nothing to say. A.,
ander turned a CHASTITY hue, and clasping
his hands together began to sway 10 ana
fro while the crowd yelled.
In five minutes the negro was hanging
linn and Hfeless by the chains that bound
him AS soon as the crowd saw that nre
was extinct 1t began to slowly dlsperse.
Hundreds, however, stayed to the last. >,
Men kept piling on wood all the tlme until
about Z oclock when the flames were a.
lowed to die down. From U TO O'CLOCK
there was continuous stream OF people 60
ing to the scene or the burning. Ihese
away from their work in the afternoon,
and who were determined not to miss see
ing the awful spectacle.
"A Disgusting Scramble.
When the fire had died down sufficiently
to allow the crowd to approach the remains
of Alexander there was a wild scramble TO
obtain relics. Bits Of charred flesh, pieces
Of chain. scraps Of wood-everything that
could possibly serve as souvenir was
seized on with morbid eagerness.
After Alexander's arrest he was taken
before Miss Roth who identified him. Since
then a mob has surrounded the penitentiary
day and night. Today the crowd became SO
Formidable that Governor Stanley, In re-
Spouse to telegram from Warden Tomlin-
son. ordered two companies Of militia to be
in readiness to start for Leavenworth at a
moments notice.
Governor Stanley ordered Warden Tom
linson to refuse to turn Alexander over to
the sheriff unless he agreed in writing to
protect him.
About o o'clock the coroner and two po-
licemen took the remains to an undertake
er's establishment. The coroner's jury has
been named,< but the inquest will not be
held for few days.

Of Jennings, we purchased Bayou

much labor and time had been

PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid fowery.
deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
have done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Go. Ltd, domiciled at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at 100000.
Captain D. e. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
Co., a man of unquestionable in
tegrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president of this
company.
From the organization Of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots of really Oil
lands throughout the oil belt of
Calcasieu parish, Ignoring IN a
measure large bodies of indiffer
ent lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased
First.-Twenty acres near the
Blackberry well that is full Of
promise, the we'll being down
near 1000 feet, with every indi
cation of success. The stock o:
this well is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
ling this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat {
spring at blackberry flowed very
cold water, which today is almos
as hot as hot coffee. We alS'
purchased five acres near th'
Vinton wells which have strucl
several stratas of Oil, published
to the world.

Another Combination.

Plans for a combination Of the
manufacturers Of printing press
es in this country have nearly
been completed. It is stated, on
what proposes to be reliable au-
thority, that several Of the lead
ing manufacturers have already
expressed their desire to jon
and approve of the scheme, while
others who are unwilling to join
join the proposed trust are, never
theless, ready to sell at any mo-
ment, and lhave already desig-
mated the price for which they
wiz part with their establish
ments. It is expected that the
deal will soon be closed. If the
amal@amation is effected it will
prove injurious to the press
throughout the land and will
draw down the wrath of the
press from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the Lakes to the
Gulf, and justly SO, because the
price required for, printing
presses is too high right now
without the prospects of having
to pay more for them in future
