MONK GIBSON STILL At
LARGE.
Father Of the Dead Women Takes the
Field, Followed by Twenty five
Trusted Blacks.

Houston, Tex, Oct. Gov. Lam
ham tonight took positive action and
ordered two MALTA companies from
Houston to Edna. The orders were
secret. The latest reports from Edna
are that the negro Monk Gibson has
not been caught, though the trailers
are still confident.
1t is believed that the officers may
have the negro in hiding and that the
troops have been sent to escort Monk
Gibson to Houston, where there is q
mob proof Jail.
Adjt. Gen. Hulen has ordered spe-
cial train for hims If and has gone
from Austin to take command.
Mr.. Beasley, the father of the muir.
dered woman, Mrs. Conditt, took the
field in person at the head of Is negroes
upon whom he believes he can rely.
He thinks that he can achieve result
by having trusted blacks with him
that be could not with white men, az
the negroes living about Edna are nov
very sullen and refuse to impart any
sort of Information.
The dogs are supposed during the
day to have taken Gibson's trail sew
eral times, but it never led to results.
With the troops at Edna there is no
longer danger of burning. But it is
lolerably certain that the negro will
lie put to death if he il caught in the
timber by the posse. These men are
very weary and sore from the long
chase and they are not in condition OF
mind 10 turn the negro over to the
officers.

wounds. Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing
to wounds, bruises, burns and like in
iuries before Inflammation sets in, they
may be healed without maturation and
in about one-third the time required
by the old treatment. This is the
greatest discovery and triumph of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on the same principle. 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness and prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. Keep bottle OF
Pain Balm in your home and it will
save you time and money, not to men,
ton the inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail. For sale by c. A.

COULDN'T FOOL MA.
Augusta Young Lady Tries But is
Blocked at the Turn.

Augusta young ladies are pretty
smart. but one of them who recently
undertook to Civ, a little exhibition
of that quality, found, to her chagrin.
that her mother was just triffle
smarter than herself.
1t seems that the young lady had r
caller and to prolong the evenings
pleasure a little beyond the prescribed
hour for retiring, thought that she
would put up job OH her maternal
parent. Accordingly. as the hands on
the Sitting-rOOm clock approached that
hour, she stopped the clock and thus
prevented it from striking and telling
her mother that it was time for the
young man to go home.
The plan worked all right, and after
his departure, she set the clock going
once more. and heard 1t chime the
hour as she was climbing the stairs to
her room.
Everything may have came out all
right. if the young lady. in the intcn-
sty of her purpose. had not forgotten
that there was a clock in the kitchen.
which. though it did not strike. kept
right on marking off the hours. but as
it was, when her mother came down
stairs in the morning, it did not take
her five minutes to ascertain that
there was n difference of time in the
clocks. and it did not take her another
five minutes to guess the cause bf the
sitting-roo clocks being two hours
behind time. She did not say much
about it, but that particular clock has
had fit of tagging since.

The Use of the Street Sprinklers.

Editors Kennebec Journal:
When the city bought our present
street sprinklers a few years ago it did
so with reference to certain modern
improvements which they embodied
Chief Of these was the ability OF the
driver to shut them off promptly when-
ever necessary, and especially when
going over crossing. The old drivers
were very careful in tEis respect. but
some Of the new ones do not appear to
have received instructions as to the
proper use of our modern sprinklers
with the result that the city is getting
no better service from them than it did
from the old-fashioned ones in use be-
fore they we're purchased. The crossings
as result are given the same gener-
Gus wetting down as are the streets.
submit that good service demands that
the drivers of the sprinkler carts should
be carefully instructed to shut off the
water when going over crossing. At
this season of the year ladies do not
wear rubbers on fair days. and a wet
crossing is sufficient to soak through
the their soles Of their shoes. While the
discomfort from this source is less TO
men, all of them would PREFER to use
dry rather than wet street crossing
This is matter tina: can, fortunately.
be easily remcdied. lie. the drivers Of
the sprinklers be instructed to shut Off
the water when going over a crossing,
and the improved service that will re-
suit will not fail to be appreciated by
everyone. CITIZEN.
