SMITH AND CONWAY.
Republican Orators Address Audience
 at Tuscumbia.

Tuscumbia, Oct. 10.-(Special. )-Hon. John A. w. Smith, Republican nominee for Governor of Alabam, and F. F.. conway, of Madison County, the District Committeeman, spoke at the court house in this city Wednesday night to a fair sized crowd, composed principally of Democrats. The former devoted most of his time to discussion of the tariff ques- tion, following and advocating the prin- ciples of the Republican party. His speech was very conservative and entirely unobjectionable. and was enjoyed by his hearers
 He made no reference to the appoint ment of Judge Thomas R. Roullac of this county to the district attorneyship by President Roosevelt, and had but little to say regarding the elimination of the negro vote in Alabama. He opposed some clauses of the new constitution. but had no criticism to make on it because of the disfranchisement of the colored voters.
 His confere MT. Conway expressed him. self as being glad that the negro had been eliminated from Alabama politics. and predicted that in the course of a few years the Republican party would occupy a more respectable position on account of the disfranchisement of the colored voter.
 Both speakers were listened to atten- lively and respectfully throughout their remarks and were congratulated at the conclusion.

 There are six capital cases now on the docket, of which five are for murder and one for arson in the first degree.
 Yesterday two iuries were drawn by the court of twenty-five men each. The third jury was being drawn when it was found the jury box was exhausted.

FAMOUS FOR CRIME.
An Indian Territory Town Which is
 Noted for Murders.

Chicago Chronicle.
 On the top of a gentle hill at the con- huenCe of the Arkansas and Broken Ar row Rivers, about twenty-five miles east of Tulsa, I. T., amid the seclusion of for est and hills, nestles the little town of Weer.
 The locality is ruggedly picturesque and the traveller does not suspect that one fourth of it's entire population have met tragic deaths at the hands of their neigh bors within the last fifteen months. New ertheless. this is the case. The cause of thIs unusual mortality has it's origin in an incident which happened fifteen years ago and which has kept alive since that time a spark of hatred that upon the slightest provocation leaps into flame of passion and demands the flow of blood.
 In 1887 John Cox killed Goog Childers. Cox was halfbreed Coweta clan Cree& Indian. Childers was a fullbood Locha- pochar clan Creek Cox had married and among his children was a girl named Smi-lee. who at this time had been placeI in a mission school where Steve Ven son, a young missionary of German ex .. traction was employed as instructor, with whom Smi-lee feil in love.
 Goog Childcis was Smi-lees uncle and made strenuous objection to her educa- tion by the whites Cox. however, kept her in school. Here she grew away from Indian habits and traditions to such an extent that Childers sought to gain his point by poisoning the mothers mind against Cox. He succee led well, and the resul: vas Il personal encounter between Cox and Childers, in which Childers was killed and his body thrown into the river The killing of Childers put Cox's life in danger. He took refuge on what is now known as Cox island, a huge mass of rocks covered with brush and timber several acres in extent that rises from the middle of the Arkansas River near Weer On account of the bad blood Cox made a dug-out in the side of the island and fortified it with powders. This island was his home until Smi-lee finished her education, when a house was built m town into which he moved and where Smi-lee kept house for him.
 Firing of the loneliness of the situation, she was allowed to become a teacher in the mission school, Cox returning to the island, where he remained until about a year ago.
 The hostile feeling between tlse Coxes and the Childers never died out, and on July l. 1901, at a picnic at which illicit mountain whiskey and blue powder smoke played a lively role matters eliminated in the fatal shooting of Lewis Cox. the aged father of John Cox. by Silas Childers.. the son of Goog Childers.
 This famed into hot flames the slum- bering embers of hatred and the feud was on again in earnest. On July IS Pratt Childers, a brother of Silas Childers. was assassinated. Josie Kelly, a full blood h.

SITUATION IMPROVING
BIRMINGHAM STRIKE CoNFIN-
 ED TO T. c. 6 I. MINERS.
Deputies Still at Blue Creek, But No Ill Feeling Shown-Democratic Committee Preparing Plan
 of Campaign.

Birmingham, Oct. 10.-The strike of the coal miners in this district will probably be confined to the mines of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Comuany. It is certain that the mines of the Sloss- Shef- field Steel and Iron Company will not be involved.
 A conference was held this morning by officers of the Sloss-Sheffield Company and the officers of the United Mine Work CTS at which a satisfactory agreement was reached as to the collection of the assess ments for the benefit of the striking miners in the anthracite region. Neither the president of the Sloss- Company, nor President Flynn of District 20 will give the details of the agreement but both concur in the statement that there will be no trouble with its miners.
 President J. c. Maben of the Sloss- Sheffield Coal and Iron Company in con- firmation of the reported settlement with the miners said today:
 es. 1t Is true that a satisfactory ad- tustment has been made with the United Mine Workers. We are all satisfied with the agreement reached"
 With an agreement signed by the Sloss Company and the mine workers the gen. eral presumption seems to be now that the suspension of work will only extend to the properties of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Comapny. The other operators of the district have, 1t is said, waited before taking any final action in the matter to see what action the Sloss Company would take as 1t was under stood a settlement satisfactory to the Sloss people and the miners would be satisfactory to them.
 Charles McCrery, vice-president and general manager of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, returned this morning from visit of inspection of the Blue Crfeek district, where the com pany is attempting to operate one mine.
 He says: ''The situation at Blue Creek is improving rapidly. Additional men are going to work daily, and many more are signifying their intention to do so. It is only a matter of a day or so, he says. when the Johns mines will be run ming with a full force of men.
 Edward Flynn. of the Mine Workers Union. also returned from Johns this morning and says that about fifteen men are at work. Thirty-two deputies are still there, but no ill feeling between the deputies and the miners has yet develop ed. MT. Flynn says that the miners who have suspended work are still firm, and have no idea of returning to work until the strike is settled according to their demands.

It Is understod that MT. Orlando Reynolds, who came here not long ago from the general offices in Cincinnati, will be made superintendent. Mir. Frazer came first to the Alabama Great Southern in the early nineties going with the Alabama Great Southern. Later he served the Southern as superintendent. In 1900 he went with the Alabama Great Southern. He is one of the best posted railroad men in the South.
