.ASSAILANTS OF OLIVE
TWO SELMA COTTON MILL MEN
 ARRESTED.
They Were Identified by. in)"rsa Who fs Near Death, and are I
 Pending Result of Wounds'
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau, Selma, Oct. Is. The police department succeedeo IF experimenting the two men "ho ao believed to have held up ana oahs ously if not fatally wounded h. n, Olive last night They are cotton mn,
 men and were identified by MT oiiNe | as his assailants.
 Their arrest required some clever de- tective work. which was skilifuily l ecuted by Captain B. F. Miller or the police force. Captain Miller began ms 1 investigation at the scene of the crime and finding nothing in the way oi clue resorted to the saloons in East l Selma. He was soon rewarded in get ting on the trail of two men who hao visited a number of saloons, one oi whom was said to have blood on ms face The men were traced to their lodging house near the store of Jimmie Brown, and when the landlTd was asked if the two men had entered ms house he replied that two of the boys had only been in for few minutes. Captain Miller secured lamp and went to the room where the men were said to be. A pistol was on the dresser and this was taken possession Of by the officer. It was found that one chamber had been discharged. He then turned his attention to the occupants of the room. One had not retired. while the other lay across the bed with hat drawn over his eyes and was sleeping. The sleeping mans face was partially covered with blood which came from a wound on the jaw.
 The men were taken into custody and were carried to the police station Upon arriving at the station they were found to be two factory employees. Gibson of the Cawthon Cotton Mills and Burlington of the Estelle Cotton Mills.
 The men strongly denied having done the shooting or having been in the neighborhood of the crime.
 This morning the men were taken one at the time before the wounded man who had revived sufficiently to recognized one of them before he was in the room. Pointing at the door, he cried That is the man who struck mo last night" Both men confessed that they had a fight with a man riding a wheel last night, but denied having done any shooting. Evidence is very strong against them.
 MT. Olive is still alive and resting easy but little hope Is entertained for his recovery.
 There Is a great deal of indignation over the dastardly crime and a great many of the friends of the in- jured man stood in groups on street corners in East Selma last night dis cussing the assault.
 The two men were not apprehended until about 9 o'clock this morning. when all was quiet on the streets.

EXPANDING CONSUMPTION.
Is Shown by the Monthly Blast Fur
mace Returns.

New York, Oct. 13.-Further proof
of expanding consumption is furnished
by the monthly blast furnace returns,
which are significant in some respects,
says the Iron Age. Our figures show
that the production of coke and an
thracite pig iron was 1852. 677 tons in
September, compared with 1,167,672
tons in August. This increase was due
to the enlarged operations of the steel
companies, since their output rose
from 747.5 $40 tons in August to 936,494
tons in September.
Statistically, the iron industry,
therefore, working into better shape
every day, and the accumulated sup
plies must be removed in a compare
lively brief period. Additional product
may come out when the labor troubles
in the south are over and there is
some reserve capacity in the east get
ting ready for work. But the central
west has comparatively little addition
al steel company capacity available, so
that the outlook is more cheerful for
the dull winter period.
That there has been some awaken
ing among buyers is clearly reflected
in the reports from leading distribute
ing centerS. There is greater firm
ness and an advance at some points
accompanied by heavier purchases for
long delivery. The southern furnaces
are nearly unanimous in asking an adj
vance and some larger transactions
have been closed at higher prices.
Among them is the sale of a lot of
about II. 900 tons of basic iron for St.
Louis delivery. In the central west
and north west, northern foundry irons
have not quotably changed, nor is the
actual price higher in the tidewater
markets, but the market is decidedly
Ermer.
In the finished iron and steel mar
kets no large transactions are report
ed but the interest Is Greater and
there is quite a stream of small orders
coming in. Reports concerning the
export trade continue favorable
Among the recent sales of steel rails IS
one lot of 22,0OO tons for the Argen-
tine republic.

ment of Taxes.

New York, Oct. IA monu-
ment erected by the late Cyrus w.
Field at Tappan, N. Y, ito the MEM
DRY of Major Andre has been sold for
the nonpayment of taxes.
The monument stands on Andre
hill, over the spot where the British
officer was buried after he was hanged
Since the death of Mr.. Field taxes
on the plot of ground 100 feet square
have accrued in the sum of $6.38, the
plot finally was put up with other
property by the treasurer of Rockiand
county and as there were no bidders
he bought it in. If not released within
ceI tain time the shaft of stone win

Andre was hanged October 2, 1850.
Forty-one years later the body was
removed from Tappan and buried with
honors in Westminster Abbey. In
1878 Dean Stanley visited Cyrus w.
Field and the latter caused the spot
to be marked "as a token of those
better feelings which have united two
nations"

FOR A SEVERE WINTER.
That Is What the Weather Proverbs
Now Indicate.

According to some popular weather
proverbs the coming Winter will be
severe.
There is an old saying that thick
corn husks are certain sign of a hard
winter and the husks this fall are
heavy.
If you do not happen to have a corn
field in your back yard and therefore
cannot depend on the husks to prog
nosticate the weather for you, the fam
lily cat will do just as well. What cats
are not supposed to know in advance
about weather has never been told.
The book of weather proverbs COM
piled by the weather bureau says:
"Cats have the reputation of being
weather-wise, an old notion which has
given rise to a most extensive folklore.
1t is almost universally believed that
good weather may be expected when
the cat washes herself, but bad when
she ticks her coat against the grain,
or washes her face over her ears. or
sits with her tail to the fire. AS. too,
the cat is supposed not only to have a
knowledge of the state of the weather,
but a certain share in the arrangem ent
of it, it is considered by sailors to be
most unwise to provoke a cat. Hence
they do not much lige to see cat on
board at all. and when one happens to
be more frisky than usual they have
a popular saying that the cat has a
gale of wind in her tail A charm
often reSorted to for raising a storm
cording to an Hungarian proverb, as a
cat does not die in water its paws dis
turb the surface; hence the flaws on
the surface of the water are named
by sailors cats paws In the same
way also a large furry on the water is
a cats skim and in some parts of
England a popular name for the
stormy northwest wind is the cats

When a cat scratches itself, or

Gates approaching rains
If sparks are seen when stroking
a cats back, expect a change of
weather soon.
When a cat washes her face with
her back to the fire expect a thaw

When cats lie on their head with

Cats purr and wash; dogs eat grass;
sheep eagerly eat and turn in the d.

a COW the COW viii do just as well
for the barometer for cows have
wonderful knowledge of what will
happen to the weather. Some of the
proverbs relating to the COW are:
When COWS fail their milk, expect
stormy and cold weather.
When COWS below in the evening,
expect snow that night.
When a COW stops and shakes her
foot. it indicates that there is bad
weather behind her.
When cows refuse to go to pasture
in the morning. it will rain before
night.
When cattle collect near the barn
long before night and remain near
the barn ill late in the morning.
expect a severe winter.
Expect rain when cattle low and

of the piggy proverbs are:

together, indicate cold.
