SAM JONES vs.. JACKAss.
The Famous Evangelist Went Down
In Defeat.


Those who attended the meeting Of
the Grand Lodge, knights Of Pythias
at Greenwood last week are laughing
over an incident in which the Rev. Sam
P. Jones, the famous Georgia evange-
list, figured.
Mr.. Jones, 1t may be stated here, Is
an active and enthusiastic member Of
the order. He can make the goat do
more sudden and violent things in the
second degree than any other man that
ever tried it.
Mr.. Jones went to Greenwood to de-
liver a lecture last Wednesday night,
the night on which the grand lodge
banquet was given. The date for the
lecture was made months ago, before
it was known that the grand lodge
would be in session at that time; but
the two events did not interfere with
each other. Nearly all the Pythians
attended the lecture, and after 1t was
over they seized upon Mr.. Jones and
made him 60 with them to the banquet,
which was not commenced until late
hour.
The banquet was served In a large
hall over the livery stable. After the
feast had progressed for a while the
toast master called on Brother Jones"
for a speech.
It didn't take much persuasion to get
him to respond. He uncoiled himself
from the table and commenced, "Well
brethren"
Just at this junction a jackass In one
Of the stalls in the stable underneath
decided that 1t was time for his usual
midnight anthem, and broke loose.
"Oh, Hee haw! Hee haw!" he sang,
"Hee haw Hee-haw! Ouff"
"Sit down Brother JONES'" said the
toast master, another has gotten the
floor"
The banqueters had gone into par
oxisms Of laughter and some Of them
had fallen out Of their chairs and
were rolling on the floor.
Maybe it's an Elk" said Mr.. Jones,
as he waited for the uproar to stop.
The jackass finally found stopping
place. and Mr.. Jones attempted to pro-
ceed, but the jackass thought Of some
thing else he wanted to say and Mr..
Jones again had to suspend.
After some considerable lapse of
time. Mr.. Jones made another effort,
but he couldn't make much progress.
His hearers were convulsed by the in
terruption and were unable to control
themselves. Whenever silence would
be restored and Mr.. Jones would start
his speech some man would think Of a
new phase Of the ludicrous incident
and giggle, and then the laugh would
start afresh.
Mr.. Jones delivered his speech, after
a fashion, but he had hard time Of It.
Finally he got disgusted and quit.
THE jackass down stairs was not bit
more discourteous than those up
stairs" he told them as parting shot.
Those who were present say that the
incident was the most laughable they
ever witnessed, and that so far as Is
known this Is the only time Sam Jones
ever admitted himself defeated. The
jackass injected himself and his voice
into the occasion just at the opportune
moment to make a hit-Anderson Mail.

MURDER Or THE CZAR.
Eye witness Account of the Assas-

Eye witnesH' Account OF the AHhah-
sinatiOn of Alexander ii.
From memoirs Of the late Mile Hor-
tense Rhea the following eyewitness
account Of the assassination Of Alex
ander II, of Russia is published in The
Century:
1T was on q Sunday about o'clock.
We were rehearsing new play. Some
of us were in the greenroom when the
emperor passed, escorted by his Cos
sacks. We were standing at the win
dow, and with smile he gave us the
military salute we knew so we'll. He
had hardly turned the corner when we
heard an explosion. We looked at one
another, and the same thought crossed
each mind-an attempt on the empe-
ror's life.
We rushed out and arrived at the
corner of the street just in time to see,
200 yards from us, the explosion OF the
second bomb, which proved to be the
fatal one. The first had killed two Cos
sacks. While they were arresting the
assassin the czar, deaf to the entreat-
les of his coachman, who wanted to
-
his carriage to say a word Of sympathy
to his dying soldiers. He took their
hands, and, addressing their murderer,
he said Wretch, see what you have
done in your blind fury
After a last look Of pity at his faith
full servants he was about to re-enter
his carriage wnen a man standing at
the door dropped. another bomb, which
he had kept concealed in his handker-
chief, and that not only killed the nihi-
list himself, but mortally wounded the
emperor. In a moment the street. be-
fore deserted, was crowded with people
coming from every direction. Sleighs
were going to and fro. and all we heard
was, Thank God. the emporer lives!
His carriage being damaged, he was
placed in a sleigh and driven to the
palace, where he expired a few hours
later. His legs had been shattered

never been other than the necessity OF
sacre and assassination in carrying
out the direction Of this people to make
peace, through war, in the Philippines.
Remember, you are now discussing
men like my son, and perhaps, like
your brother. Why should these men.
our people, who sent over to the Phil
ippines in their right mind, practising
the ordinary humanities, become so
changed as to drop into savagery? The
Ninth infantry, that lost so heavily at
Samar, was in the Pekin expedition,
and there the American soldier won a
high repute for his humanity. While
other nations were reeking vengeance
upon the Chinese our soldiers restrain
ed their hands.
IF the administration had remem-
bered the experience Of Lincoln, STAN
ton and Halieck In attempting to direct
the method Of carrying on the Civil
war at Washington through the army
in the field, and the disasters that
came therefrom; IL 1t had considered
the character and quality Of General
Chaffee and his officers, and their bet
ter knowledge of the necessity of prop
er measures and ability to carry them
out; If, in ordering the court-martial Of
General Smith. it had at the same time
ordered the trial Of Lukban and the
other chiefs caught redhanded at Sa-
mar, and officers who were guilty Of
the murder Of our soldiers, better jus
tice would be done than will come out
Of all this clamor.
Cannot we. then, indulge in little
sanity In this matter, give our soldiers
the benefit Of the doubt, and wait for
results" ?"-Army and Navy Journal.

THINGS WE
LIKE BEST
Why is it They so Seldom
Agree With Us?

What's the reason the things we like
best SO seldom seem to agree with us?
Maybe it's because we Overeat OF them.
Then follows fit Of indigestion.
Only lasts day or two perhaps. But
it's most uncomfortable day or two.
We don't mean to abuse our stOmachs
but we all do it more or less. We see
things we want and can't resist
the longing for them. When it's too
late we regret our rashness. But
there's q way to escape the c0nse-
quences Of such indiscretions. A dose
OF good digestant like Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure will relieve you at once.
Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach Is too weak
to digest what you eat. ltneeds rest.
You can't rest it by going without
food. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rcstit.
It does the StOmach's work. IN the
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength. Before long IL will be
as strong as ever. You don't have to

the JuuIcml district is regarded as nor
mally Republican by 10000 the defeat
of Mr.. Davies is one of the most re-
markable events in the politics of this
section, particularly as the Republican
puralities in the counties contained in
the district were notably large.
Mr.. Davies got the nomination after
a bitter contest. President Roosevelt
withheld the appointment of a judge
of the United States district court until
after the convention so that if Mr.. Da-
vies failed to get the nomination he
could appoint him to the vacancy on
the federal bench.
When Mr.. Davies was nominated, it
was thought that the nomination car
ried election with it, and the president
filed the vacancy by naming Congress
man George w. Ray for the district
court bench.

Republicans Have Big Plurality, but
May Lose Congressman.
Columbus, O., Nov 5.-The Repub-
leans carried Ohio by next to their
highest plurality on record Nothing
above 10000 had been predicted, but
partial returns indicate that it will
greatly exceed that figure. At the same
time the Republicans made no gain in
Ohio congressman and are likely to
lose one. The present Ohio delegation
in congress consists of seventeen Re.
publicans and four Democrats, and the
returns show sixteen Republicans and
four Democrats elected, with the
Twelfth district in doubt.
The present apportionment of the
Ohio congressional districts was made
by a Republican legislature with four
teen Republican, four Democratic and
three doubtful districts. Two years
ago the Republicans carried all the
doubtful districts by close pluralities
and this year they increased their plu-
ralites in the Republican and two of
the doubtful districts and reduced the
pluralities of the Democratic districts
without gaining any congressman and
probably losing the close Twelfth dis
trict At the last session of the Repub-
district, the Twelfth, was changed, and
it has probably been carried by the
Democrats.

about $4,000. The entire Democratic
state ticket and fourteen out of six

cratic Oh joint ballot. The only warm
contests for congress were in the Elev-
enth and Twelfth districts in st. Louis.
In the Eleventh Charles f. Joy Rep),
supported by the Public Ownership
party, has probably defeated John T.
Houck, Democratic nominee, by a
small plurality. The election of James

The latest reports from Montana give
the state to the Republicans. However,
the Democrats do not yet concede their
defeat.
Indications in Kansas are that the
Republican state ticket has been elect
ed, with eight congressman. The legis-
lature will be safely Republican, possi-
bly, with reduced majority.
Returns from Nevada point to fu-
sion victory in the state.
Heavy Republican gains are conced
ed throughout the state of Colorado,
although returns are so meager that it
is impossible to give a reliable esti-
mate of the result.
Late returns received from Iowa go
to show that the Republicans have
elected their state ticket by $4,000 ma.
jority. Reports from congressional dis
tricts are meager.
The results for the Legislature in Del
aware seem to be in doubt, and dead
lock, as was the case two years ago, is
a possibility.
Ohio is claimed by the Republicans
by plurality of more than 100000,
with possibly eighteen of the twenty
one congressman, although the Demo
Gratis decline to concede three of the
congressional districts claimed.
Van Snnt Reelected.
In Minnesota Il plurality of 10000 is
claimed for Van SAINT (Rep.) for gov
ernor. The Democrats, while giving no
figures, say that the returns are not
fattering.
Ten Republican congressman and one
Democrat, with the reelection of Gov
ernor La Toilette, was indicated by late
returns from Wisconsin.
Returns from Nebraska show the
vote to be exceedingly close for gov
ernor with the remainder of the Re-
publican state ticket probably elected.
A small plurality for Morrison Rep.)
for governor is indicated at an early
hour this morning in Idaho.
Washington and Wyoming appear to
be safely in the Republican column.
Indiana is estimated to give the Re
publican candidates from 25,000 to
10000. The delegation to congress re-
mains unchanged, nine Republicans
and four Democrats, while the legisla-
ture probably will be Republican by
20 on joint ballot, insuring the re-elec-
tion of United States Senator Fair

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 5.-In New Jer-
sey the Democrats made gains, but
failed to gain control of the state The
count is slow owing to the length of
the ballots, which in many districts
contained fifty or more names, each of
which had to be canvassed separately
owing to the wide scratching.
In the congressional contests the Re-
publicans elected seven of their candi-
dates as against six which they had
under the old apportionment. The
Democrats elected three as against
two under the old allotment.

NEBRASKA VERY CLOSE.
Republican Candidate For Governor
Behind His Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5. Nebraska
probably has gone Republican, but by
so narrow margin on the head of the
ticket that an unusual slump in any
great number of precincts will give
the governorship to the fusionists.
Mickey Rep) has run slightly be-
hind his ticket, and Thompson fusion)
has run ahead, indicating the success
of the rest of the Republican state
ticket by probably 10000. Mickey's
plurality can hardly exceed 1000, and
the result must remain in doubt for
possibly twentyfour hours.
The Republicans elect Burkett to
congress in the First district, Hinshaw
in the Fourth and probably Kinkaid
in the Sixth; the fusionists Hitchcock
in the Second, Robinson in the third
and probably Shallenberger in the
Fifth, Republican gain of one for the
state.

liberal gains, but owing to the remote
ness of the leading county seats 1t is

make the count very late, and nothing
but estimates can be expected for
twenty-four hours. The election of
