SHOT NEGRO BURGLAR
Arthur ozment Has Encounter with
 a Thief.

Tuscaloosa. Jan. 27.-(Special. )--For sometime Arthur Ozment has been miss ing articles from his house. He has watched several nights, but it seemed that the thief always came the nights that he failed to be on the lookout. At last he decided to devise an alarm from the kitchen to his bed room. At o'clock Saturday night the alarm sounded. Mir. Ozment armed himself and went from the front way. When he reached the rear of the house negro jumped from the gall lery upon him, armed with a hatchet. They clinched, then MT. Ozment suc- ceeded in freeing himself and the gun, which the negro had held fast. He shot the negro several times, one ball taking effect in the head. The negro is about 16 years old. He Is still alive.
 '"The people of Tuscaloosa are paying their poll tax" says Mir. g. D. McGee, County Tax Collector. There are very few in the county who will dlsfranchise themselves. Compared with last year, 30 per cent of the taxpayers have paid, and before February 1st the vast majority of the remaining number will have paid. at the rate they are now paying. One-sixth of those who have already paid are ne- groes. They are country negroes and real estate owners. They paid, not be- cause they wished to vote. but because they, as property downers. wished to be good citizens. A very few of the town negroes have paid"

AFTER TRAIN. ROBBERS
CONGRESSMAN wrLEY's BILL IS
 ENDoR0UD.
The Member from the Second Ala bama District Believes That His Measure win Go Through
 the House.

Washington, Jan. N.-(Special. )-Among the new members in the Fifty-seventn Congress is A. A. Wiley. from the Second District of Alabama. yet he is not ciasseo with the great majority of new mem bcrs. This Is because he got real busy the first day he arrived in Washington and has been keeping up that pace since Now, scarcely month since he hrst appeared on the floor, he has achieved the distinction of having introduceo bill that put the whole country to talk ing.
 If is his bill to protect the United States mail and to punish train roppers by applying United States law to their peculiar crime.
 The bill is meeting with favor in all parts of the country. It was noticeo in the Press Association telegrams anu all the special correspondents at the oap'- tal mentioned 1t prominently. lh/ general sentiment towards the measure seems to be that 1t is skillfully prepared and fills a long felt went. It meets the objections heretofore urged by intense states-rights advocates against similar ieeislation. namely: 1t does not interfere with the power and Jurisdiction Of state courts to punish offenders within state limits, but confers authority upon teoerai courts to protect the United states maii and to punish thieves who rob trains carrying interstate passengers and traffic. the character of commerce which, under the constitution, Congress alone aax ravuiafe sf
 A western paper, speaking of Congress- man Wiley's measure. uses fhese iorce- ful words:
 Tt is earnestly hoped that the present Congress will wipe out the republics dis grace-the train robber, who has become so bold that trains in thickly populated districts are not safe.
 '.I'he pcrsistency of the train robber is a reflection on the United States. ours is the only nation in the world ma breeds this human brute. There arc no train robbers in Canada and there are none in Mexico to rob government mails and to murder those who travel by rail.
 How long will American citizens tolerate this criminal neglect on the part of the government? How often must Congress be asked before 1t adopts ! measure to meet the demand of tho people to protect them from these nur- derous monstcrs:'
 Congressman Wiley has not rested at the introduction of the bill. He ha talked 1t to his fellow members and there is a growing sentiment for 1t among tn, statesmen who represent sections of the country where trains have been hei TO and robbed, and this includes nearly the entire country. 1t Is believed th bill will get a favorable report from tn committee which is to consider 1t an finally a favorable vote. in the House.

McClure's Magazine.

McClure's Magazine for February is one of the best all-arould numbers its editors have gotten out The timeliness of the articles. their range of subject and the variety. of short stories make it possible to read the number from cover to cover without monotony.
 Two articles stand out for special mo- tice as among the most opportune and readable magazine articles for the month -Marconi's Achievement, by Ray Stan nard Baker. and Grover Cleveland, by the title and the authors name are suf- ficient guarantee of good reading on timely subjects. Concerning the Mar conf paper. it is of interest to learn that the author of 1t was she first special cor respondent of any paper or magazine to catch Marconi in Newfoundland after his success in telegraphing across the ocean without wires. Mir. Baker had many opportunities of seeing Marconi at work, and when the inventor left Newfoundland travelled across the island with him. and so has been enabled to write the most authoritative, and by far the most thorough account of the matter yet published. The inventor. so says MT. Baker. is very sanguine about the rapid extension If wireless telegraphy. It is n question rather of months than of years, he thinks. before wireless mes- sages will be regularly sent across the Atlantic at a cost hardly exceeding cent a word. Marconi has also at last succeeded in perfecting his device of tuning his instruments, so that giv- on message will influence only the "re- ceiver'' especially keyed to take 1t, thus securing the same degree of secrecy as is possible in an ordinary cable dispatch.
