PAID THEIR FINES.

Jas. Benning, D. N. Myers and
A. Swartz came into police court
last Saturday and settled the troub-
lie arising out of the fracas in the
Old Vaughn barn the previous Sat.
urday, mentioned in last weeks
Index. The action was before
Justice P. B. Cole, who sat as DO
lice Judge in the absence of Judge
Stevens. Mr.. Benning was held to
answer to charge of resisting the
city marshal. He entered a plea of
guilty and was fined $25 and costs,
amounting in all to 1896. He
was given credit for the S. paid
before Judge Tedrow the Saturday
before, on a charge of disturbing
the peace. This was the minimum
penalty and Judge Cole gave Jim
some kind advice warning him,
however, that if he appeared before
him again that he would not be so
lenient.
Mr.. Benning,after paying his fine,
came to the Index hfhce, paid his
arrearage and stopped the paper
He thought we did wrong in pub
fishing his trouble. He has been
an old patron, and we are sorry to
lose him, but we must insist that
we did him no injury. Jim is his
worst enemy himself.
Messrs. Swartz and Myers were
also arrested on charge of resist
ing an officer but they appeared
voluntarily and agreed to plead
guilty to charge of disturbing the
peace and the charge was accord
ingly reduced. They paid S TO each.
Mi. Swartz was in an especially
bad humor. He said he was not
drank and was guilty of no ofense.
For some reason he, also, was very
indignant at the Index and declar-
ed:in open court that he proposed
to "whip" the publishers. Mr..
.SWsrtz is not subscriber and must
be laboring under a misapprehen-
sion. He probably has been told
that the Index said something it
didn't say. We are very sure that
the Index has done nothing to de-
serve whipping. We understand
also that Mr.. Myers would not OBJ
ject to see us whipped"
The cases were prosecuted for
the city marshal by ]. N. Tincher.
The city attorney and the city mar
shall could not agree on a plan of
procedure, hence the marshal inter-
viewed other attorneys and finally
Mr.. Tincher agreed to take the case.
Marshal Stockstill asked the coun-
ty attorney to make it a state case
but he advised the marshal that it
would more properly come under
the city's Jurisdiction.

SC0RCHED SENATOR NOFTzGER.

OltlzenS OF clark county have
become disgusted with Senator
Tom Noftzger of this district:
Last week they forwarded the fol-
loving plainly worded petition to
him at Topeka. The sentime mt
expressed therein plainly expresse S
the sentiment of three -fourths of
the people of Barber county regard
less of party lines:
We, the undersigned represent a.
, tive stockmen, business men and
citizens of Clark county, having
kept tab on the acts of the state
senate, do respectfully urge you to
act favorably upon senate bill No.
sol (house bill No. 8oo), and the
Bergman bill, to reduce the freight
rate on live stock, as we'll as other
railroad legislation now before the
house and senate. Our observation
of the daily proceedings, as report
ed, leads us to the conclusion that
you are personally against the in.
terests of the people, whose suffrage
has elevated you to your present
honorable position. We believe it
Us time our interests received con-
sideration at the hands of the SEN
ate, and we demand that you, as
our personal representative in the
senate, give us the service and cen
Sideration to which we are entitled.
We would further impress upon
you the fact that you are our SER
want and was not elected to favor
the interests which are throttling
our business by unjust discrimina-
ton and excessive charges.
We believe it is time our paid
representatives, whether in state
legislature or in national congress,
gave heed to the will of the people,
who know their own needs, an d
turn a deaf ear to the paid hirelings
OF corporate greed and organized
oppression. Such disregard of the
popular will has stained the pages
of history with blood, and will yet
again produce like occurrences if
continued.
We further believe in free speech
and In a free and untrammeled
press, and condemn the act of the
senate in excluding a representative
of the press from its chambers as
piece of high handed assumption
of power.

fortune to have a horse fall with
him last Wednesday which result
ed in broken foot near the instep.
The accident happening just at the
time the family was about to leave

had to be made overland. It is
hoped that no bad effects will fol-

when the casket was reopened the
corpse was clad in an undershirt only.

SALE OPENS
THIS MORNING

McKennon, Anderson & Fosters
Midsummer Clearance Sale opens
this morning at their store on West
Seventh street and the outlook is that
it will be one of the most successful
sales the firm has ever had. The
store was closed all day Thursday
while prices were being marked down
and goods arranged, and when the
doors open this morning there will be
many customers on hand ready to take
advantage of the bargains offered.
These semi-annual sales prove saw
ing to the buying public and many
customers have learned to wait for
them before making extensive pur-
chases. They help the store too, for
though the prices are reduced, the
sales clean out all the odds and ends
of the stock and make fresh buying
for the next year

c. M. A. CATALOGUE

The catalogues of the Columbia Mil
itary Academy have been received
from the printer and are now being
sent out to the hundreds of applicants
from all parts of the Union. The cat
alogue this year is handsomer than
ever. The illustrations give a better
idea of the splendid grounds and
buildings. The catalogue from prin-
ter's standpoint is good, and it is
most comprehensive of the advan-
tages, equipment, rules, privileges and
standing of the school in the list of
military schools of the country. OF
the 296 military schools in the Union
only twelve are ranked in Glass A by
the u S. Government, and the Column
bia Military Academy is one of the
twelve The outlook for the next
session in the matter of attendance
grows constantly more encouraging,
and it is probable that the attendance
will be $50 to 500 larger than last
session.

To my Debtors:-

To my Debtors:-

thing in my life to penetrate the very
depths of my heart so deep as when |
appealed to you for what you were
justly owing me. When it seemed to
me that the evening shadows of death
were almost lowering around me, and
you refused to pay me one cent, so /
appeal to you again, as / had to pay
out every cent | had on earth and am
still unable to work If you fail to
pay me ] will only make one more ap-
peal to you and in it expect to per-
senate each one of you, to show to the
good honest-thing readers of
the Herald, who the charac-
ters are who SO basely and
shamefully treated me when i
called on them for help l am salts
fed that 1t will engender enmity with
you toward me, but from the way you
have treated me can't well avoid it,
If it causes our friendship of many
years to be broken and severed for
ever, and if you fail to pay me, it
will not cause me to have inimical
feelings toward you and ! don't con-
slider it dishonor at all for an honest
man to be brought down to poverty
and penury, but 1t is disgrace and
a dishonor to you to bring me down
to such. Should you fail to pay me
now | will only appeal to you once
more and then | am done, and will
leave the matter to be settled between
you and your God

the water was not reaching that high

there was a suction, showing that
the water was being gradually drawn

Mayor Guest was seen and said ne
was having an order drawn on the

of course it would not be wise to have
this done till the pumps are fixed, but
as soon as the pumps are running he
would see to it that the basin was well

OPPOSING
BETTER RAILS

Some idea of the absolute indiffer
ence to public welfare that is, con
spicuously or unconspicuously, being
attained by the disposition of the steel
trust TO oppose the movement that
has been set on foot to secure a
greater degree of safety in steel rails
This opposition comes in the form
of increased-and what is claimed as
prohibitory-prices of safety in steel
rails.
The United States Steel corporation
declines to accept and fill the Penn
sylvania railroad company's order for
new rail substitution at less than $33
a ton, an advance of IS ton on ruling
quotations. The new rail desired by
the Pennsylvania company is one of
the late President Cassatts inven-
ton, and it Is of a character to over
come the present defects in rails that
lead to SO many disasters.
In the face of the revelations as to
the poor quality of the rails turned
out by the corporation since it Sc
cured monopoly on the business,
any kind of trial that contemplates
a betterment, even at the cost of a
decrease in its admittedly enormous
profits, Is little less than criminal

GILES COUNTY
SCHOOL MIDDLE
COUNTY COURT LIKELY TO RES
cIND ITS REFUSAL TO
REDlSTRICT.

LYNNV1LLE, Tenn, July 10.-From
the best information obtainable it
seems there has been a great reaction
started all over this county in regard
of the public school muddle. Since
the recent action of the County Court
in refusing to redistrict the county,
several members of the court have
sent in petitions, asking to be allowed
to rescind their votes From the
change in sentiment it is now believed
that an extra session of the court will
be satisfactorily adjusted The Coun-
ty Judge says he is willing to call the
court together for peaceful settle
ment of the matter but that ne will
not call session for another 'wran-
gle,' and cause expense to the county
without favorable results.
The fact that there are about 10000
school children and nearly 200 teach
ers involved has had much to do with
the change of sentiment. County SUI
perintendent C. H. Walker says the
unfortunate state of affairs has cost
him some of his finest teachers, many,
of whom have already accepted posi-
tions elsewhere, owing to the uncer-
tainty of the local situation. He b.
lieves that when adopted the new vs.
tenn will give general satisfaction
