Three Arrested for Cations Murder
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Washington, n. c., July 19-Rumor
reaches here of the arrest of three per-
sons at Italia, this county charged with
the murder of John w. Cation, at South
Creek sometime in February last. We
have endeavored to secure the names of
the parties by phone. but for some rea-
son the names are withheld Cation was
shot by party unknown as he was sit
ting in his house. 1t is thought the moon
sinners had something to do with the
killing, as he was to leave the following
morning for Washington to testify against
them. Several parties have been arrest
ed for his murder, but were discharged
for want of sufficient evidence. The
murder was most foul, so much so that
the Governor offered a reward for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty, and
the county of Beaufort increased the re-
ward several hundred dollars.

Thousands of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than

which is of equally great importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.

HOW THE INDIANS VOTE.
They Are Very Deliberate and Thel
 Have a Simple Method.

They Are Very Deliberate and Then
 Have Simple Method.
 The Chickasaw Indians cast their vote differently from the way the white man does it. They meet the day before the election, and none but Chickasaws by blood is allowed to vote. No white man or intermarried citizens have the right of suffrag age. They go off to themselves and have a powwow. They decide for whom they will vote after considering the ma ter for twenty four hours.
 The polling place is quite unlike4that of the white man. There is d great sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown as the case may be, about three feet square. Upon this sheet of paper are a vast number of cross lines, regularly ruled off with pencil. Then down one side of the sheet of paper are placed the names of all candidates for office, beginning with the candidates for governor and running on down to precinct officers. At the top of the sheet are the number of blank spaces that will be required for the names of the voters. The judges of election sit by and pass on those entitled to vote, and there is a certainty that no illegal votes are east.
 The Indian Is thoroughly deliberate. He takes his time when it comes to voting. He proceeds to the polling place, looks carefully sever the poll sheet, and if he is ready to east shis ballot he calls out his name. and the clerk records it on the sheet. Then the clerk reads off the names of the can- didates for governor. The voter delib- crates awhile, calls out the name of the candidate for whom he desires to vote, his vote is recorded. and the names of the candidates for the next office are called out, and so on through the list, till all the offices represented are voted for.
 Thus it is that every voter knows exactly how every other voter has cast his ballot, and there are no remarks, no suggestions and no quarrels over differences of opinion.

A special meeting of the stockholders of the Brimfield hotel was held last week Thursday. The lease of the present land- lord, G. F. Kibbe, terminates the first of next January, and @ committee was chos- en to sell or lease the property. The committee is Charles s. Tarbell, Porter A. Parker and George M. Hitchcock. There was large representation of stock by shareholders in town and proxies which they held. The present hotel Is the result of the enterprise of its citizens and the interest of former residents and descendants of old families in the ancest- ral town. After the previous hotel was burned, in 1890, the site remained vacant for number of years. Citizens were finally encouragedsby former residents to start the project of stock company for rebuilding, and over $10.000 has been put into the property, the largest propor- ton of which was raised among Brimfield people. The interest was 80 general that some farmers, who could not take stock, gave labor to grade and improve the grounds. The hotel was formally opened July 1st, 1898.

 II think that I would leave them. alone altogether" was the reply. "They have too angry buzz about them to win my confidence"
 You are not used to them, that's all" said the beeman. For example, these hives are full of honey, and if puff little smoke into the doors so as to sort of suffocate the sentries can topple hive over, handle the bees like so many beans, clean the honey combs and carry them off. The bees won't harm me-" And, to prove his words, the speaker performed his ex- pertinent and came back to his friend with smile and several heavy combs of honey.

FINS or TIE FLYING FISH.
They Are Used ns Parachutes Rather
 Than as Wings.

They Are Used as Parachutes Rather
 Than as Wings.
 Out from the warmer seas fly the flying 6sh, the fish of which every one has heard, which yet none can see for the first time without gasp of amaze ment. without a feeling as though be holding the miraculous. the fish which has given rise to more untruthful sto- ries than any other fish in all the seas.
 Undoubtedly the flying fish has wings like bird; undoubtedly 1t flies, yet not as bird. It does not flap the wing like pectoral fins on which 1t Is up borne, nor, once launched in the air. can 1t change it's course by any move ment of It's wings until it dips again to the water. Yet 1t will pass ship making ten knots in the hour and trav- el in the air as far as 800 feet at a time.
 Astounding, indeed, is the sight of a shoal of flying fish taking to the air. skimming far over the surface when the sea Is calm, leaping high over great waves when gales blow. Fish seem ludicrously out of their element in the air, but that fish should fly is not really more wonderful than that some animals and birds, like the otter or the penguin, dive and swim to per lection.
 The flying fish's fins are really para chutes to support and steady it's body rather than wings to propel 1t. The lobe of the tail gives propulsion to the body as it leaves the water. A flying fish measures about foot in length, and it's long, transparent pectoral fins reach almost to the tail; but, though very large when expanded, they can be folded up very neatly. It's flight is short and intermittent, and it must needs continually dip into the sea to give itself fresh start.-Pearson's.

The lady who owns the garden got the strange paling from her brother, who had originally sported 1t in the tropics.
 Near Leeds is summer house made wholly of buttons of every imaginable kind, and in the same county is a room the walls of which are adorned entirely by the ribbons of cigars, near ly 20,OOO of these being represented. From garret to basement i'll the large house of a Leeds mineral water manu- facturer is gigantic scrapbook, ev- cry notable theatrical poster of thelast twenty years being pasted on the walls.
 A north country banker living near Wakefield has great dining room the whole of the walls of which are the wooden and iron doors of eminent, cas- ties and historic buildings, and at Lis card, in Cheshire, is room that con- tains hundreds of picture frames made of every imaginable substance, from leather to tigers bones, one frame be- ing placed within another according to size so that the whole surface is GOV cred with frames.
 In Liverpool Is a room-that of a dentist whose grandfather occupied the same premises-that contains many mirrors and pictures the frames of which are made entirely of sharks teeth. Near Birmingham a manufac- turer has study that is lined, even to the roof, with nothing but chains of various thicknesses and padlocks of different sizes.-Pearson's.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In planting the orchard care should be taken to allow each tree plenty of room.
 A layer of charcoal in the bottom of a flower bed is very beneficial in keep ing the soil fresh.
 Tn blowing in the orchard always turn the furrow toward the tree, and be careful not to injure the fine, fibrous roots.
 The life of an apple tree is often shortened because it grows in a poor, exhausted soil or one not properly drained.
 When i'll or ailing, handle the flowers little or wear gloves. Delicate plants are sensitive to human magnetism, good or bad.
 The roots of the strawberry often reach out five feet from the main stem; hence the plants should not be; set too thickly.
 An apple or cherry tree Is much more valuable If it shoots out low. Trim from the top, as this will cause the lower branches to grow out.
 Land that has been too rough for blowing may yet be sufficiently fertile to grow fruit trees and is better than land that has been exhausted by crop ping

A DARING WORKMAN.

 Bridge Across the Niagara.

His Crazy Antics on an Unfinished
 Bridge Across the Niagara.
 q remember" said bridge con- tractor some time ago while on the subject of wOrkmen's daredeviltries, "when working at the big bridge across the Niagara when the two can talever arms had approached within fifty feet of each other a keen rivalry as to who should be the first to cross spgang up among the men. A long plank connected the two arms, leaving about two and half feet of support at each end. Strict orders were issued that no one should attempt to cross the plank upon penalty of instant dis missal.
 At the noon hour suddenly heard a great shout from the men, who were all starting up. Raising my eyes, I saw a man step on the end of that plank, stop a minute and look down into the whirlpool below. I knew he was going to cross, and shouted to him, but he was too high up to hear. Deliberately he walked out until he reached the middle of the plank. It sagged far down with his weight until could see light between the two short supporting ends and the cantilevers on which they rested. He saw the end in front of him do this, hesitated and looked back to see how the other end was.
 'I thought he was going to turn. He stopped, grasped both edges of the plank with his hands and, throwing his feet up. stood on his head, kicking his legs in the. air, cracking his heels together and yelling to the terrified on- lockers. This he did for about a min ute. It seemed to me like forty. Then he let his feet drop down, stood up, waved his hat and trotted along the plank to the other side and regained the ground.
 "We discharged him. of course, but what did he care? He got all the glo- ry, his fellows envied him, and he could command work anywhere."- Cassier's Magazine.
