Assassins Not Caught.

As yet the negro or negroes who did the shooting have not been arrested. There were four in the party, but only two of them participated in the shoot ing each of them firing one shot. Two of the negroes were caught yesterday, but they willingly told what they knew of the affair, and were released it being shown that they attempted to prevent the shooting.
 A third negro, Dan Coleman, was also arrested and is being held on another charge, but it Is not thought that he par tcipated In the affair. The police do not know who the other two negroes are and it has been impossible for them to learn their names.
 Coleman was arrested on a porch in Kingston, where four negroes were seat ed when Policemen Richardson and Bob Patton rode up. He made a break for liberty and Policeman Richardson fol- lowed him. shooting at him several times The negro was finally caught In the meantime the other negroes escaped.
 Night Foreman.
 Waite, who was night foreman of tho Birmingham Pipe and CastiEzp company, was returning home with Alien Cleburne, a negro, who was employed in the works As they reached Thirty-second street and First avenue they passed four negroes Just after they had passed the negroes Cleburne turned and saw that one of the four had pistol pointed at them. He cried to Waite to run for his life, but the white man had scarcely moved when he was shot through the chest and the left arm.
 It seems that one of the negroes in the party had a grudge against Waite for discharging him from the works, and as the party passed Waite in the road he turned and, cursing, said
 There Is a man I have been looking for to kill for a long time.' He shot once and two of the other negroes grab bed the pistol from him. The fourth negro then took the pistol and fired the second shot, both of which took effect The two negroes who wanted to prevent the shooting finally succeeded in taking the pistol.

PAPER OUT OF SHAVINGS.

"One Of the must valuable IN
ventions of the age so far rs the
pine interests of the South are
concerned" said W. II. Drake Of
Orange, Tex, at the st. Charles,
last evening, "is the process for
making paper from the refuse OF
the sawmills.
"Paper has been made from
spruce and cypress for years, but
paper from yellow pine and tupelo
gum is a new thing, and will more
than double the value of yellow
pine timber. The paper is of sp.en-
did quality, and the only noticeable
difference between that and the
spruce product. is that the latter
has a satin finish. A young fellow
came to Orange from Michigan,
organized a company and now has
his mill running full capacity. 1t
means a great deal to the sawmlll
men, for each mill at very little
extra expense can put in It's own
plant and make paper from the
stuff that has heretofore been
thrown into furnaces. The samples
Of paper I have seen are good, and
there is no question, ! believe, OF
paper making from pine shavings
becoming a great industry.

AT the conference Of state healtl

At the conference Of state health
authorities with Surgeon General
Wyman, Of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service, in Wash
ington on Monday, the appearance
Of the bubonic plague in the United
States was considered. The health
authorities Of the state of Cali
fornia and Of the city Of San Fran
cisco were severely censured for
the inharmonions relations they
have sustained with each other over
this matter, aud the declaration
was made that the United States
could not be considered safe from
the plague until those bodies got
together and worked for it's sup.
preston. There have been eighty
seven cases Of the pestilence in
Chinatown. OF these six were
whites, four Japanese and eighty.
three Chinese. It is amazing that
for any reason the health officials
can trile with such . terrible calam.
|ity % would ensue should the bu.
bonic plague gain a foothold or

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to the
subject It is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. 1t has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold or
from an attack of influenza grip, ana it
has been observed that this remedy co'in-
terscts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of eases in
which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly discov-
cred that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains in the chest, then it
is announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soo,.as
the cold is contracted. 1t always cures.

Petty Minded Texans.

The Texas Legislature. and in
deed the whole state Of Texas, il
in a tremendous bother over
ridiculous triviality. 1t appears
that in Texas men have to be re-
minded Of the custom Of appearing
in full dress on full dress occasions,
so the committee in charge of the
arrangements for the inaugural
ball in honor Of Governor Lanham
has promulgated request that the
masculine guests shall appear at
that function wearing evening
clothes. One would think that the
committee had commanded the cos.
tune of Adam and Eve before the
fall from the fuss this very ma
tural and proper request has
caused. The members Of the Leg
islature, almost to man, have
vowed that they will never disgrace
themselves with dress coats and
wouldn't dare to face their consti-
tuents il they should yield on this
vital point. They must have lot
Of small-minded people in Texas
to make possible such disturbance
over a mere question Of dress.
Down there it is evident that they
do "judge a man by the clothes he
has,"
