Slayer Adams CoollY Awaits Approach
ing Trial.

Monroe Adams, the double murder
err, continues to take life easy in the
cool confines of the bastile here, and
the thought of trial for his atrocious
and brutal crime does not appear to
disturb him in the least. He is fat,
hearty, cheerful and contented, with
no thought or care of the future or the
fate that awaits him. Adams, it will
be remem bered shot to death his wife
and gro Rn daughter here two months
! ago, the crime being one of the most
| heinous and shocking ever committed
in Americas. It was without the
slightest pretext of justification, and
even after his capture the brute ex-
pressed pleasure at the completeness
of the job. His only regret, as then
expressed, was that he did not kill
four other negroes for whom he was
searching at the time he killed his
wife and daughter. Adams will an
swer for his brutal crime at the No
vember term of court, and in the
meanwhile will continue to enjoy life
in tie Jail with plenty to eat and nc
work to do.

An Unsuitable Ship.

Experiments are being made on a new
apparatus for use in case of collision
on the ocean. BY turning a small wheel
in the pilot-house, twenty water-tight
doors are instantly closed, and these COM
partments are more than enough to keep
any vessel afioat. If it is a success it will
make ocean travel as free from danger
as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does the
road through life. 1t is a splendid tonic,
free from all injurious narcotics, and one
that the most delicate system can retain.
In the spring, when the weather is so
variable, it is very beneficial as it pro-
tects the system from sudden colds n
la grippe. DON fail to try 1t. 1t also
cures indigestion, dyspepsia, insomnia,
headache, ~ervousness and b~iliousness.

had hard luck In some of his efforts. His
dog, a Great Dane, dug up all the pota-
toes he planted and ate them. Jim, wish
ing to plant something the dog would not
disturb, asked Warren Golding if he ever
raised pickles. Warren told him he had.
and upon his recommendation Jim bought
a couple of bottles of the best brand or
pickles to plant. He expects to partly
supply the market of Winnemucca with
pickles in a couple of months from now.

The New York Press, the leading cham
pion of the extreme protectionist faction
of the Republican party, characterizes
the present administration as govern
ment by blackmail." Whatever differences
there may have been in the past between
Democrats they never compared in inten-
sity of bitterness with the ruptures which
are rapidly forming in the Republican
columns. Representative Swanson of
Virginia, during a speech in favor of the
reciprocity measure, was asked If he ex-
pected to start a free trade movement
in the Republican majority, and he re-
piled: Eve nave already converted them
TO 20 per cent of our views" and that is
what the opposition fears.

How would Young Rockefeller do for

Bowman's and Johnston's Speeches
Bring Forth Cheers for Present

New Decatur, Aug. 14.-(Special.)-P
G. Bowman and Governor Joseph F.
Johnston were here last night and spoke
to about $50 L. and N. shop men In South
Decatur.
Fully IS per cent of the crowd were for
Jelks for Governor.
Bowman spoke first and made one Of
his characteristic speeches on the SUBJ
ject of the evils of the new Constitu-
ton and what Joe Johnston has done for
the good of the common people,"
He said he was In favor of every clause
in the new Constitution except the suf-
frage clause. and was opposed to that
because 1t had disfranchised $4,000 white
men in the State. He advised the la
boring men to join the labor unions.
Twice the speakers voice was drowned
out by the cries of 'Jelks! Jelks!" from
the crowd
His speech seemed to have but little
influence upon the minds OF his hearers.
Friends of Governor Johnston then
called upon him and he took the stand
and spoke for twenty minutes on what
/ have done" At one time during his
remarks he was compelled to stop speak
ing on account of the cries for Jelks.
His speech, like Bowmans, had but lit
tie influence.
When the meeting adjourned almost the
entire crowd yelled for Jelks.
Johnston Will speak in Decatur next
Saturday night and he extended to Cow
ernor Jelks an invitation through his
friends here to meet him upon that oc-
cason and stated that he would give
Jelks the opening and closing speech.
New Decatur Is four to one in favor Of
Jeks, end as yet the Johnston speakers
who have been here have been unable to
change a single vote SO far as known.
