Gus editorials have made the Western
Radicals so indignant that they seek to
answer by the fist? If Mr.. Merritt's edi-
torials had not injured Senator Pritch-
ards chances of election, would he not
have offered his good offices to prevent
an assault by first seeking a correction
of the article? Is it not pretty plain that,
if the Asheville Citizen praised Pritch-
ard as much as the Morning Post does,
the Senator would have prevented the
disgraceful occurrence?

Texas is a big State and it is big
enough to have held a Congressional
convention in the Twelfth district in
which 1900 roll calls were INDUCED in
without nomination being made. At
this stage of the proceedings commit
tees from the Riddle and Gillespie forces
cast lots and Gillespie's name was drawn
out. making him the successful candi-
date for Congress. The PoindeXter forces
did not like the method of drawing for
office. but accepted it as the will of the
convention. The 7,2O1st ballot made
Gillespie the nominee. Some years ago
in South Carolina the nomination for
Congress from the Spartanburg district
was also determined by drawing the
names from a hat.

MISS STONES CASE
RELEASE OF MISSIONARY is con.
FIRMlcD.
QUEER STORIES, HOWEVER.
TSILKA CHARGED WITH CoMPLIC-
ITY IN KIDNAPPING.

Husband of the Missionary's Conn
paniOn Said TO BE Under Arrest.
He Is Macedonian and Probably
Interested i'm the Revolutionary
Movement There-His Wife Is a
Bulgarian and Both Were Educat-
ed In America, Mrs. TsiIISa Being
Pupil of Moody.
Paris, Feb. 1S.--The Temps this ev-
ening publishes a dispatch from Cam
stantinople, which announces that Miss
Ellen M. Stone has been released by
the brigands, who had held her cap
tive since Sept. 8, last, and has been
handed over in good health to the dra-
CONAN of the American legation.
The dispatch adds that the REV.
Tsilka" has been arrested on the charge
of completely in the kidnapping of Miss
Stone.
The companion in captivity of Miss
Stone was Madame X. S. Tsilka, Bull
garian woman, wife of Mr.. Tsilka, a
Macedonian teacher of Samakov. Miss
Stone, while travelling with Madame
Tsilka and a party of about fifteen
friends, was captured by brigands in
the district of Salonica Sept. 3. Since
that time vigorous efforts have been
made by the United States government
and by Missionaries to obtain the re-
lease of the captives The brigands
demanded a ransom of G25,000 (Turk
ish) but only $72,5 500 was collected for
the ransom and this sum was paid
over to the brigands Feb. 6 by M
Gargiulo, chief dragomaster of the
American legation at Constantinople,
who met the brigands ON the road to
the Podrome monastery.
Nine Tsilka was educated at the
Mortified Seminary. At the time of
receiving her American training and
education she was Miss Stephanora, a
Bulgarian. Having been converted in
childhood to the Christian belief, she
came to America, after having refused
to marry a man of her parents chocs-
ing. DR.. Dwight L. Moody, becoming
interested in her welfare, found place
for her in this noted school. Having
finished her training at that institution
she became a trained nurse. While en-
gagged in her professional duties, she
became acquainted with Mr.. Tsilka, a
Macedonian, who had also been educat-
ed for work as a medical missionary.
Soon after the completion Of this train
ing the couple were married, and went
to Bulgaria, where they at once entered
upon missionary work.
Miss Stone is one of the missionaries
of the American Board of Foreign
Missions. She has been attached to the
Salonica mission since 1873. She was
born at Roxbury Mass, and her home
is in Chelsea, Mass, where her mother
resides.
Four of Miss Stones brothers are in
business in Boston.

The fremen confined their efforts to
the mill adjacent to the compressor

finally got the fire under control after

knowledge of the fire above. He
shouted warming to the miners on the

gallery communicating between the
new and old workings was discovered,
and after a hard struggle in the smoky,
gas-laden levels, the men reached the
bottom of the pit In safety.
