Shreveport has just passed through
a most trying experience. and comes
out OF the ordeal with a triumph for
law and order. and great credit to the
city officers and people. We refer to
the arrest, trial. conviction and hang
ing OF the brutal negro Charles Cole
man, who cruelty and maliciously
outraged anil murdered mn innocent
school girl In the suburbs of that city
about ten days before he was hung.
The negro was legally hung In the
jail mt Shreveport. ut 1887 p. m. on
Thursday, March LIST.
1t Is wonderful that this negro es-
capped the vengeance III the Infatuated
citizens, who certainly would have
burned MIN I'm the streets of the city
II they could haveiaid their hands on
him. But the officers Of the law hav-
Ing him In their power, 1t was their
duty to protect him ard zee thateven
80 vicious a brute as he was he given
the benefit of hearing and trial he
fore a court of justice. 1t required
the presence Of two or three compa-
MES OF State troops to guard the pris-
oner while this was being done. but
1t was successfully accomplished. and
the citizens Of Shreveport now ex-
press satisfaction and relief that they
were forced to let the law take its
course, and their city escapes the
odium and horror Of burning the de-
mon on her streets.

Alarming News from China.


Alarming news IL coming to hand
from China In the last few days. about
the spread Of anti-christian riots In
that country. Several Of the native
sympathixers with the missionaries
and foreign business enterprises have
been massacred. but as yet NO foreign
era have been injured. The outbreak
for some days ago at Nanchang. In
which one or more Roman Catholic
priests are reported to have been
killed, II said to have resulted from
the imprudent and unwarranted ac-
ton of the priests in issuing an APP
peal for subscriptions t. their church
In the form and with the characters
used for government official docu-
ments. The authorities It is said
protested at this. but the priests 70
fused to acknowledge that they had
done anything wrong. and the riot
ing and killing followed.
The greatest concern IL maniies ted
throughout the world. for the safety
of all Foreigners In China, and this
alarm IL now said to I've shared by
the missionaries and others In TINT
country. who all along have refused
i to believe they were in any danger.
and have been sending ont assurances
that they felt perfectly safe. Gun-
boats aud war vessels OF the various
nations are now ON their way to the
coast of China. and much ANXIETY IL
felt at the serious outlook.

A Woman's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
Weaknesses and falling, or oth0 displace-
ment, OF the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms OF female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw-
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there is no remedy
that will give quicker relief or a more per-
manent cure than DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t has a record OF over forty
years of cures. 1t is the most potent
invigorating tonic and strengthening ner-
vine known to medical science. Ii Is made
of the glyceric extracts Of native medici-
nal roots found in our forests and con-
tains not drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into IA
vorite Prescription has the written en-
dorsement Of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools OF prac-
tice-more valuable than any amount Of
non-profeSSional stimonialS--though the
latter are not lacking, having been con-
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
in numbers to exceed the endorsements
given TO any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest Of his and 1t is an
insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you asubstitute. You
know what you want and IL is his busi-
ness to supply the article called for.

Furthermore, the quality of the leaf
produced - better now than ii was
twenty-five years ago, when much less
intensive methods Of culture and fer

understand that the export and plug

Virginia are vastly different from the
cigar wrapper and binder types pro
duced in the Connecticut valley. They

Two Curious TnIen.

In 1876 Il miserly old lady was found
dead In a fence corner few mide
south OF Blaise, France. When found
she was lying fiat on her back, with
one arm around her head grasping q
sunbo2pet. Since that time not a
spear u grass has grown on the spot
where her body lay. The outlines OF
the form, limbs, etc, are as plain as
though they had been made by 0 per.
son lying down in snow or In plastic
clay.
Just back Of the great British mu-
scum, London, there is little plotfof
ground known the world over as "the
field Of the forty footsteps" The old
legend concerning the place is to tho
effect that two brothers, In the time OF
the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion,
took different sides and that they en-
gagged In a deadly duel on this little
plot Of ground. They stood OFF twenty
steps from certain line and at the
word met at that line and killed each
other with knives. The forty impress
slons made by their feet while ad-
vancing were ever afterward bare Of
grass and were still pointed out 125
years ago at the time when the lot
was covered by large stone building.

Horns on Fat Cattle.

Some time ago Farming stated that
horns on a steer meant reduction OF
80 cents per hundredweight in the price
in market \ correspondent assumes
to correct this statement end says;
The simple presence or absence or
horns on n prime steer does not affect
his value materially, nor Is any atten-
ton paid to this point by buyers Of fat
cattle. If one were buying feeding cat
tie to finish, dehorned ones are more
desirable than horned cattle, especially
when they are 10 run loose in large
droves-that is, not stall fed Both
wrong, according to our experience.
We have seen the presence of horns on
n carload OF fat steers knock consider
able Off their value, but not 80 cents
per hundredweight. The fact Is that
killers who have to ship their stock
away from the yards want hornless cat
tie, and those who kill right there find
fewer bruises among such cattle. The
horncss steer has a very decided ad-
vantage for both feeders and slaughter
ers. Buyers pay a good deal of atten-
tion to this point here at Plttsburg.-

RENOVATED BUTTER.

Marked Improvement In It's Quality,

ton TO be made of the plants where II

sanitary conditions within and without
the factories, including proper drain

unwholesome or detrimental TO health

At the present time many creamery
men who consider their product gilt
edged could with profit, so far as clean
liness and sanitary conditions are con-
cerned, advantageously examine and
adopt methods practiced in some of the
best renovatlng plants.
l3ut the marked Improvement In the
quality Of renovated butter - only
partially due 10 the improved condi
tlons Of recent years. The most Inn
portant factor IN this improvement IL
In securing the packing stock while It
IS fresh and giving It proper care until
1t is needed for use, so that instead OF

try stores absorbing the odors of fish

Manufacturers generally have aban-
doned the idea that they can produce Q
merchantable article or butter from old
rancid stock. and, as n rule, If any such
Is received they reject It. Some OF 1t
goes to the cheap bakeries and the
rest is used for soap grease.

Lack of Packing stock.

The markets. both here and abroad,
seem to take readily at remunerative
prices all the better grades of renovat-
ed butter that can be produced. and the
quantity IS only limited by the amount
of packing stock the country provides.
The business, as far as the quantity IS
concerned, has undoubtedly reached its
limit, not from lack of profit in manu-
featuring or of demand for the finished
product. but from lack Of material
from which to make the goods.
The amount of packing stock TO be
produced each year will gradually de-
cline, prime )ally because it VIII be d.
verted into more profitable channels by
improved methods and the introduc-
ton of hand separators.
