The Tyfol,dl Collar
The picture shows how the
collar is cut out on each side
to allow for adjusting a neck
tie without springing the col
lar open. The collar comes
close together in front, it keeps
the tie in place and you don't
see the cut-out part. Besides
the tie is retained just over the
button, which is also kept out of sight.

CLEVELAND'S YES OR NO.

We have never yet seen in any
publication coming direct from Mr..
Cleveland where he stated posi-
lively and without reservation that he
would not be candidate for the
democratic nomination for president.
He has always managed to beat
around the bush and often hit mighty
close to the negative part of the SUBJ
ject, but he has never come out and
stated that he would not be a candi
date under any circumstances. He
could settle this matter in very few
words, either one way or the other,
but he seems to be lodging it-almost
persuaded, yet. like the fellows
coon, he seems to be scared The
Nashville Banner has gotten it down
about right in the following PROPOSE
tions, either one of which Mr.. Cleve-
land can safely adopt:
For instance, he could say, Il am
not candidate for another nomina-
tion and would under no circumstance
accept the nomination if it were
made by the democratic national con-
vention in 1901
'.Or he coud say, l am not a can
didate. do not wish the nomination
and would not accept it unless it
were rendered with so great an un-
solicitated sentiment and party pres

JIM TILLMMAN'S CASE.

Columbia, s. c., June 25.-Argu-
ment on the motion for a change of
venue in the case of James H. Till
man, indicted for murder, was con-
cluded late yesterday evening and
Judge Townsend at once announced
his decision that the change should
be granted. Counsel disagreed con-
corning the county where the case
should be sent and this was left nnde-
cided for the present.
Arguments were made yesterday by
Andrew Crawford, G. Duncan
Bellinger and Solicitor Thurmond for
the prosecution, and by p Fl. Mel
son, Congressman Geroge W. Croft
and former Judge o. W. Buchanan
for the defense.
Judge Buchanan, who is James Fl.
Tillman's brother in law, delivered
a bitter arraignment of the press, the
commercial interests and the people
generally of Columbia. He charged
that the state newspapers had
goaded the defendant to desperation
by abuse of him.
The court then announced its de-
cision to grant the motion and asked
counsel : for suggestions concerning
the place to which the case should be
transferred. Mr.. Croft suggested
Saluda. To this Solicitor Thur
mond objected.
Counsel being unable to agree
upon a county, Judge Townsend in.
structed them to draw up an order
for a change of venue and leave the
county blank for the present.
The case must be tried in this ju.
dicial circuit, in which there are five
counties. This county, Ricnland,
is now eliminated by today's de-
cision.
The belief is that Judge Townsend
will name either Saluda or Lexing-
ton couny. In either case, the trial
will not take place for six weeks OF
two months.

President Roosevelt tells Attorney
General Knox that the offenders in
the postoffice stealage must account
before the law for the deeds they have
done and thorough investigation
must be made of the postoffice affairs
to see if any other frauds remian un-
earthed. 1t is hoped the president is
in earnest in this matter and that he
will get the attorney general in earn
est. The more this matter is investi-
gated the better it will be for the re-
publican party. The truth is it can
not fail to make thorough investi-
cation, for it is a skunk that has
found its way into the parlor of the
party. Of course the party is used to
very strong odors, but this one is a
little too fresh and too strong to be
endured at this season of the year.

SCARED COONS.

Gadsden, Ala, June 25.-The ne
groes of this city and Alabama City
are very much stirred up over the
prophecies of an old negro woman
who lives on the outskirts of the city.
The old negro says that on the fourth
of July the cotton factory town of
Alabama City will be destroyed by
terrible tornado, and that the mill
be demolished and the village de-
stroyed and many people killed. She
also states that Gadsden will be visit
ed by the storm, but not as severe as
Alabama City. Some of the negro
preachers have added their warning
and the negroes are considerably dis
turbed about the matter. Some OF
the families have moved from the
town. The better class of negroes dc
not pay any attention to the prophe.
cies.

On the bodies of negroes killed
these days, which is an every day
occurrence, the coroner makes q
haul OF various and sundry articles
which indicate the life the negro has
been leading. 1t is very common

dangerous knife, short shooting
gun, bottle of gin, a conjure bag
and other such articles. 1t is very

Complicated Assault Case Heard
in Justice McFarlane's
Court.
MURPHYsFLATs SCENE OF TROUBLE
Many Are Engaged in Various
Phases OF Matter Under
Litigation.

y case involving a lease, a suitcase,
forcible entry and detainer suit, the
foreclosure of a mortgage, two as
sault and battery charges and a peace
warrant formed the conglomeration
that jury of six tried and true men
attempted to straighten out in JUS
tice McFarlane's court this morning.
The scene of the origin of the trou-
bic was the Murphy flats on Twenty
third street. The specific case adiu-
Dictated was one against Mrs. Homer
Spilman, charged with assault and
battery by Mrs. LeAIatt Sage. Enough
of the details to give an understands
ing of the circumstances make long
story.
Trouble Dates Back
In the first place. the fat belongs
to NJ. j. Murphy. He leased it to IL.
Bryant. \ dispute arose and forcible
entry and detainer proceedings were
started before Justice SChriver. These
were dismissed and another case with
the same end in view was begun by
the landlord before Justice Cleland.
Before the hearing the parties fixed
up an agreement, the tenant claims,
'iisiA AilC were ~ DC
Jan. 81. In a day or two, however,
the owner appeared, broke the door
in and installed another tenant.
In the meantime one of the rooms
had been sub-leased to the Spilmans
with the understanding that they
were to have possession till the end
of the month. The Spilmans had
bought furniture from Davenport
firm and failing to pay for it in due
time the agents came yesterday to
secure the furniture or sell it in the
house.
Mrs. Sage Comes to Buy
Mrs. Sage was 4 prospective pur-
chaser and entered the place with the
agent for the purpose of inspection.
She and Mrs. Spilman became involv-
ed in Il row. and there was an eN-
change of blows. Mrs. Sage went out
and procured n warrant. The case
was tried this morning.
States Attorney Weld prosecuted
and II. VI. Schriver represented the
defense. After Il lively hearing the
jury decided that an assault had been
committed and a fine of So was inn
posed. The costs are heavy, about
So, and the Spilmans cannot liqui-
date. Mrs. Spilman is sick and was
barely able TO appear at the hearing.
The peace warrant case Is also up
before Justice McFarlane and has
not yet been decided. Mrs. Sage de
sires TO have Mrs. Spilmau put under
bonds to keep the peace. There is
also a case pending before Mr.. Schri-
yer, as justice of the peace. against
Mr.. Murphy. II is alleged that after
the encounter between the two NO
men Yesterday lie entered the room
occupied by Mrs. Spilmnn and there
was more trouble i'm which he il
charged with having taken the lead.

1t seems impossible for Rock Island
to become entirely free from small
poX. Today, just as arrangements
had been completed for raising the
quarantine upon the last family af
| flicted, another case was found.
The latest patient is Miss Elizabeth
Hulsbrink, aged IS. who lives at 2123
Fifth avenue. She has been employed
in the shoe department at Petersen's
Sons store, in Davenport, and it was
undoubtedly there that she encoun-
tered the infection. She was taken
slightly i'll Sunday and has been con
fined to her home since that time.
1t was only yesterday that suspic
ious symptoms made their appear
ance and the physician in charge
called all the members of the family
home and kept them there till this
morning when the true nature of the
disease became apparent.
There are nine members of the fam
lily. including the parents and seven
children. One other daughter is EN-
ployed in Davenport, at the macaroni
factory. The father is employed by
the Moline Plow company, one of the
sons at a grocery store in this city
and another attends St. Mary's school.
The health department has establish
ed quarantine at the home and is
taking every precaution to insure the
destruction of the possible lurking
germs in places where members of
the family have frequented of late.
Mordhorst Family Relieved.
Quarantine was raised today at the
MordhorSt home on Forty-fourth
street. The guards were placed over
the premises Christmas day and had
been maintained continuously since.
Besides the son. John. who was first
afflicted, there have been four other
members who have had a run of the
disease.
