Besides this there are other health
considerations to be borne in mind.
Dress Is among them. "A weM-known
physician in an English medical
journal has written recently against
the evil Of tight lacing, and has laid
to this much of woman's i'll temper.
The writer, WHO is a woman and evil
IDENTITY knows whereof she speaks, tells
of the compressed organs, the restrict
ed blood vessels, the hampered nerves,
and declares it is no wonder that the
average woman is irritable and i'm
patient. It is said that there was
never yet a woman who would con-
fess to lacing tightly, but in conflden-
tial conclave they will sometimes
own that perhaps the laces are once
in a while drawn more snugly than Is
altogether comfortable always by &C.
cident, Of course! Those who confess
to this will probably acknowledge to
pains in the legs and back that hinder
their activity of motion and make any
brisk movement, or even standing,
painful.
All this should be abandoned by the
woman who would keep well. She
may wear corset. but it should not
only be Of the right cut and be put on
properly, but it should be worn loose
enough to allow her freedom and avoid
all danger of discomfort.
Sometimes it seems as though a
special Providence must watch over all
women in general and young women
in particular, that they are still alive
on the face of the earth. The foolish
things they do, the risks they run are
enough to drive mere man to des-
pair. See the girls who go insuffici
emily clad, who pride themselves on
emitting heavy f1annels from their
winter wardrobe, who neglect over
shoes, affect thin soles and do 8
multitude of other such idiotic things
These errors alone should. be enough
to decimate their ranks, even if they
did not eat things that are bad fol-
them, ruin their teeth and theil
stomachs with sweets and indulge il
host of other insane actions. After
they have grown old enough to Learn
wisdom they may try to reform, bu
by that time they have usually lai6
the foundation for Ill bcal-h or al
least impaired their constitutions tc
such an extent that they are never
quite well, even if they do not en-
roll themselves among the invalids.
| Perhaps the woman of the rising
generation will grasp the fact that
they are not made of indestructible
material and try to take care of them
selves while they are still in fair con.
dition. For those who have done
themselves injury there is still hope
If they will address themselves to the
task of repairing damages and pre-
venting further harm. This is not t.
be done by over dosing, but to repeat
the injunctions already laid down by
correct food, dress and habits of sleer
and by regular and we'll directed exer.

Tie in Valley City by the Drawing Of
Matches in Which w. J. Westergard
Was Lucky.
The tie in the mayorship vote at
Valley City last week was thus settled
as told by the Patriot:
The law provides for contingency
of this character that the tie shall be
cast off by lot. This was agreed to
by both Mcpherson and Westergard,
and on Tuesday afternoon a meeting
of the council was held, at which the
candidates were present. for that pur-
pose. 1t was arranged that five
matches of unequal length should be
the means of lot and that the candi-
date drawing the longest match
should be declared elected. A fifty
cent coin was tossed" for first draw
which was won by Westergard. Gov.
Frank White was present and con-
scented to hold the matches; each drew
a match and it was found that Wester-
gard held the 'long end of it." On
motion of Alderman Lee, the clerk Of
council was instructed to issue GER
tificate of election to Mr.. Westergard,
who was officially declared mayor.

A Grand Fight.

Mart Sturtevant's bulldog Conser has
been cock of the walk in this town for
many years. Besides easily Vanquish-
ing the biggest dogs he has killed seven
porcupines and is an old customer of
the village blacksmith, who extracts
the quills of Infatuated porcupines
which he has fearlessly attacked. Since
the arrival of the Aliens, who also have
a bulldog, Conser has been on his good
behavior The merits of the two dogs
have been discussed at the corner
grocery, and some of the gamblers have
offered to bet two to one on the Allen
dog. though a much smaller dog than
Conser. Wednesday, however, the two
dogs got tangled up in a fight on Will
low street, and Ringing Brothers cir
Gus could not have attracted a larger
crowd Men, women and children
flocked to see the fight. The marshal.
fearing that others might take a hand
in the scrap, made his appearance, and,
after seeing round or two, ordered
the respective owners Of the bulldogs
to pull them apart. It was the best
fight that has taken place in the town
for a month.-Pilot Rock (Ore.) Rec

Bagging a Cheetah.

Here is very recent instance Of the
plucky behavior often exhibited by
Indian villagers in dealing with the
great cats with which they sometimes
come into uncomfortable contact. The
King" states that the brute pranced
upon four villagers who were reaping
paddy near a Ceylon village and
mauled them all pretty severely.
Thereupon the village seems to have
turned out and simply "shoo'd" the
cheetah until it ran into a hut, out of
which the only occupant. an old wo-
man, walked and closed the only door
behind her Thanks to the splendid
pluck of this admirable female, the
cheetah was easily shot from the roof
It stood feet high and measured over
812 feet.-LQndon Globe.

WHITES War
WITH NEGROES
Desperate Conflict Between
the Races Begins in the
Texas Lumber Camps
BULLETS FROM AMBUSH
Enraged Citizens Gather
Arms andA ammunition and
More BlOodshed Expected

| GALVESTON, Tex. March 29.-FouI
white men and one negro are dead
and a number Of persons are severely
wounded as a result of a race war in
the lumber region Of Eastern Texas.
The dead are:
MARTIN SUROvAK (whtte). at
Montgomery.
TOBE MCKINNEY (white), near
Hooks station.
HENRY BULLOCK (white), at sils-
bee.
FREDERICK HOPPERT (white), at
Beaumont.
JOHN MAYNARD (colored), at
Montgomery.
The trouble began two or three weeks
ago when the lumber companies of
East Texas began Systematically to rid
themselves of shiftless characters. This
was followed by one Suspicious fire
after another, incendiarism prevailing
at nearly every mill Of note in East
Texas and Western Louisiana.
Among the mills that suffered were
the four belonging to the Hudson River
Lumber Company and the King Rider
Lumber Company. The guards at night
were quadrupled. Later men attempt
, ed to fire the mills and were discov-
cred by the guards, but made their es-
cape. An investigation developed that
rags and other combustible material
saturated with oil had been used.
Later an attempt was made to burn
the town of Soulake, where several
shiftless negroes were discharged from
the oil fields a few days ago. This
was followed in rapid succession by the
lynching of John Maynard (colored) at
Montgomery, who paid with his life the
penalty of having, with two other ne
groes, attacked and robbed several lum-
bermen, one of whom, Martin Surovak,
died from the effects of a beating.
The night before last Frederick Hop
pert, a Waterman for a lumber mill
at Beaumont, was discovered mystic
riously shot Developments indicate
that he came to his death at the hands
of the negroes. Yesterday lobe Nc
Kinney, a white lumberman, was shot
and killed at Hooks station by Bob
Childress and George Odum, negroes.
A retaIiatory attack was begun by the
whites and Childress was wounded He
is now in jail Odum cannot be found.
Last night while Henry Bullock, Sid
Stewart and NJ. A. Mcneil, white, were
returning home at Silsbee they were
ambushed by gang of negroes. Bull
lock was shot and killed and his COM
panions We're seriously wounded.
Arms and ammunition were at once
ordered into East Texas by the whole
sale, but the bad negroes took warn
ing and fed. Those of the colored race
with known good characters are being
protected. but danger is imminent to
those known to be profiigate if they
can be found.

OMAR'S VERSE
RENDERED TO
SWEET MUSIC
BY Sally Sharp.

Yesterday was the California Clubs
day to shine-and it shone with the
light of a rare programme-an after
noon of elysian dreams and of dulcet
music-'twas Omar Khayyam day.
And the singers? Just ask any of the
500 guests what a rare joy Mrs. John
d. Sibley had prepared for them when
she devised the plan of telling the tale
of the Persian dreamer to the sob or
exultation of music.
The programme was unfolded in the
auditorium of the Y w. c.. A. build

the vanguard of guests, and the rooms
are of no mean proportions. Mrs.

customed grace, announced the fol-

Another Fire.

About 100 o. m. yesterday the
whistle at the oil mill gave the
FIRE alarm of the second fire in
the ginnery, and the hose wagon
was on the way to the scene
within one minute, and the run
of half a mile was made in about
two minutes or more. Ofcourse
the boys caught on to a convent
ent wagon, which took them in
regulation fire wagon haste, but
just as the long line of hose was
laid it became apparent that with
the assistance of the compress
bucket brigade the fire was un-
der control, but the promptness
with which the fire boys turned
out was most gratifying. The
damage was slight and the gin
was soon running again.

How to Keep Potatoes.

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULT1vAToR:
would like to give the readers
of your valuable paper my plan
OF keeping potatoes.
have a place in one corner of
my garden. I always keep a
shelter to cover them. When l
dig them, l pile them up under
the shelter. The seed in one
bank, and the ones to eat in an
other. I first set up corn stalks
around them, breaking eff the
tops so they will not be too long,
then l throw some fine
straw over them; then cover
with dirt several inches deep.
Do not leave any air hole at all.
In extreme cold weather, throw
some more dirt on them to keep
them from freezing. I always
cover them up as soon as get
through digging.
keep them every year till the
new crop comes in, and have not
seen a peck of rotten ones in ten
years, unless it should leak on
them,
hope number of your read
ers, who have been losing their
potatoes will try my plan and let
me hear from them through
your paper, how they succeed.
I think the secret is in keeping
the air excluded. l am always
careful to cover them we'll when
I get them out. Respectfully,
! G. w. THOMPSON.
