by Lieutenant Colonel Henry Stroup

Village, Montrose, Dermott and sev-
eral other places were visited The
party also visited Monticello, Warren
and Hamburg, where conferences
were held with the local authorities
who are assisting in the quarantine
work. In each of the cities named
a feeling of confidence was found and
there is no fear on the part of the
citizens that yellow fever will gain en-
trance to the state before frost ap-
pears.
In Chicot county, where there has
been the greatest concern, the people
have become calmed. appeal
for aid which was sent out ew days
ago has been recalled on the advice
of Judge Street and the county author
tiles will attempt to handle the stu
alton without aid. The best citizens
o. the county are doing active quar-.

state line, and a regular detail is sent
to the front every four hours.

did arrangements are being made for
caring for the sick, as cars with
screened doors and windows have

Edna, Tex, Oct LA party just ar rived in town from the Allen pasture where the negro Monk Gibson was io- cated this afternoon. reports that the several posses that are in hot pursuit are being augmented every few minutes and capture is deemed certain. The negro Is now known to be on the Nav idad bottom between crossings iees than two miles apart. The river pot tom at this point is from haif to one mile wide and the limits are we'll surrounded.
 Two packs of blood hounds. one from wharten and the other from Richmond. were taken off at Ganado and at the stock pens two miles above Edna. They were on the ground at 2 o'clock and they will run him down in two hours at the most. The officers will never be allowed to take possession of the negro. He will undoubtedly be brought to Edna as soon as caught and may be held for very brief period in order to procure evidence from him and the general opinion is that he will meet death at the stake at daybreak Monday morning.

 Perhaps I can give you pointer, said the helpful man. Pick out the woman that fingers her hatpfns all the time. This is the latest wrinkle Of the female street car pirate. Reading her neighbor's newspaper and gazing into futurity are out of date. Everybody got onto those tricks. But the wo- man that beats her way has to do something to hide her guilt. so she fiddles with her hatpins."

A Crftfcfam.

During the recent American tour of Emile Mors, the automobile expert of France, there was parade in New York, says The New Orleans States.
 M. Mors. at the time of the parade's passage, was on Fifth Avenue. See- ing the great throngs of people and hearing the loud. gay music. he de- cided that he would like to have look at the procession, and accordingly he plunged into the deep crowd and tried to work his way to a place of vantage
 The nearer the front he got the more evidence he found of the police. The police, indeed, were in great evidence. pushing here, showing there, now ut- tering loud threats, now making. amid intense excitement, an arrest.
 Keep back! Keep back! Keep back!" was the continuous cry.
 M Mors could hardly see the parade for the police. and on account of the excitement that they caused he could not keep his mind on 1t at all. Turn ing somewhat impatiently to 8 man on his left, he said:
 Why, saire. is the crowd being kept back so vairy forciblyT
 go as to give the police full chance to see the procession" the man an- swered.

 Twice she commanded him to leave her. but still he followed just behind.
 At last the old lady, quite disgusted turned angriiy round and said:
 Look here, my man. if you don't go away shall call policeman"
 The poor fellow looked up at her with tear in his eye and then remark ed:
 For goodness sake, mam, have mercy and don't call policeman, for ye're the only shady spot fin the park"

 But Tommy brought q note of ex- cuse the next morning. which. of course, would prove that he had been detained at home legitimately. The writing was hardly that of a feminine hand, and the note appeared to have been written laboriously and with much plotting; furthermore, the pen manship seemed to be strangely famil- far to his teacher.

 Negro Tortured.
 Edna, Tex. Oct. 1.--Mr. H. P. Beas- ley, a brother of Mrs. Conditt. the mur- dered woman, stated that 1t was the re- quest of his father and mother. made tonight, that the men be pleaded with in the event that Monk Gibson is cap- tured not to burn him until morning, as they both desired to be present al his execution and they wanted all the citizens of Edna and Jackson County who desired to see 1t to be accorded that privilege. They want the burning to occur in a suitable public place in Edna.
 The desire of the father and mother has been communicated to all of the posses that could be reached and 1t Is generally agreed that their wishes In the matter will be respected. Should the negro. therefore. be caught tonight 1t is very probable that the execution will take place about 10 o'clock Mon- day morning.
 Both of these aged people are almost prostrated tonight from grief and the intense strain.
