CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Cal Chambers. Who Killed A. P
Campbell Near Dukedom.

Dresden, Tenn, Nov. 8.-A new
turn was called in the matter of
Cal Chambers, charged with the
murder Of A. p Campbell, of Duke
dom. this week. "A few days since
Campbell was killed by Chambers
in the river bottom near where
Chambers was building a levee.
Chambers gave it out that Campbell
was trying to rob him, and that he
killed him to prevent the robbery.
Campbell surrendered himself and
was discharged by the Justice upon
his own statement. Monday
warrant was sworn out charging
Chambers with murder in the 6rst
degree. The case is set for hear
ing before Justice Golden, at Duke
dom, Wednesday next. 1t is stated
that Chambers has told conflicting
stories about the matter, and that
his pocketbook, which he claims he
threw away at the time of the kill
ing, was found 200 yards away
from the place where the killing
occurred. The latest report about
the matter is that Chambers had a
Jug Of whiskey and gave Campbell
some to drink, and they quarrelled,
went out to settle the matter, and
Chambers shot him and killed him,
and afterwards told the story of the
attempted robbery to save himself

vor the election OF Henry Watterson
to the Senate by the Republican

Watterson would make an ex-

form another service where the
need tor service is greater. Let
the Democrats nominate Mr.. Wat
terson for President. Where can
they find more worthy or a more
inspiring candidate? Let the party
noninate Mr. WatteFson, and it
will have a candidate who was
brilliant leader fighting valliantly
and with force and effect in the

BALLOON ASCENSION
Feature of Big Sale OF Suburban Lots
Held at Humboldt.

Humboldt, Tenn, Nov. 9.-Prob-
ably the largest sale of suburban
lots that ever took place in Hum
boldt was made by c. H. Ferrell at
public auction on yesterday. The
event had been widely advertised.
IA free barbecue was given ON the
grounds, free lot was given in
drawing contest into which all
we're admitted to take part. and a
balloon ascension was made late in
the afternoon by Prof. Chas. Swartz.
Something like 1000 people attend
ed the sale, and, although the lots
were from eight 10 twelve blocks
from the business part Of the city,
the investors of Humboldt showed
their confidence in the towns fu-
ture by paying high prices for
every one sold. Ninety lots changed
hands aud the price received was
about $1,000. Miss Posie Tatum.
the little daughter of City Marshal
G #. Tatum. was the successful
contestant for the free lot. An in
teresting feature of the balloon as
cension was the fact that the areo-
naut went so high that he entirely
disappeared in the clouds and could
not be seen for period Of seven
minutes.

PLOT AGAINST CZAR
SIGNALS WRECKED AHEAD OF
ROYAL TRAIN.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 9-What
Is believed to have been a carefully con-
ceived plot to take the life Of Emperor
Nicholas while he was en- route from
Peterhof to his winter palace at Tsarskoe-
Selo today was frustrated by the vigi.
lance of the ra.. -ay guards.
Early this morning a guard discovered
six men trying to cut the wire Of a sema-
phore signal at Ligovo station, at the
junction of the railroads to Peterhof and
Tsarskoe-Selo. The guard attempted t.
arrest the men but was fired upon and
wounded. The shots. -owever. aroused
the guards and officers at the station, and
several volleys were exchanged between
the outlaws and tho soldiers. the former
escaping without injury.
The police profess to be unable to un.
derstand the attempt to cut the sema.
phore, as such an act could hardly worl
any harm to the imperial train which was
due to pass a few hours later. 1t is gen.
orally believed, however, that the outlaws
intended to prevent the use of the sigma
with the object of bringing the train te
a stop at that point. No arrests have

This time the stalwart liberals may re-

itself in this fashion. But, at the same
time, there are several wealthy liberals
who are much disgusted at not receiving
peerages which they have already paid

creation have an unconquerable tendency
to drift over to the conservative benches.

any one In Ohio TO object to appropria-

city and for providing on a liberal scale
for the business needs of the government.
An Ideal Location.
Il have always believed in the plan to
purchase the land south OF the avenue"
said Senator Dick today. That location
for public buildings, to my mind, cannot
be improved upon. 1t is fortunate, in my
judgment, that 1t has not been improved
10 a greater extent by private enterprise
than is the case, as the additional i'm
provements would only add to the diff
fcuity Of getting 1t. The government will
be provided with sites for its public build
ings for a long time TO come II this land
is secured. These buildings are needed
and II is only matter OF time when they
must be provided II we are to keep pace
with the needs of the government.
II seems to be good business method
TO secure this land a whole and at one
time as soon as possible. Putting the
purchase of is only apt to add to the diff
mcuty or getting 1t at the best figure
TINS land is naturally not becoming less
valuable, and. If Congress wants IT now
seems 10 be the proper time TO act
No Reason for DELAY.

further delay in this matter excent tho

eFhmeht with proper working quarters I
believe IT Will receive very favorable con-
siderat!on.
Any one who has anything to do with
the government departments in this city
soon comes to realization of the very
Inadequate quarters that are provided To
the stranger who merely sees the build
ings that have been put up by the govern
ment this lack of accommodations does
not stand out prominently. They gener-
ally suppose that the government Is ade-
Quatesy provided for in those structures.
But when we consider that dozens Of pri-
Vate buildings are rented for official use in
locations that would not be selected from
the standpoint of convenience. and while
the buildings themselves are inadequate
in the accommodations they offer we won-
der that this condition has SO long been
permitted to continue.

Then. too, the sum appropriated an
nually by Congress for the rental OF these
Inadequate quarters 10 so large as TO
show that business course is not being
pursued. There is no reason why we
should not save that large amount of
money expended for rentals The gov
ernment borrows money at about per
cent. and We know that private tndivid-
uas not renting property to the gov
eminent at rates that pay them little
as that. OF course they look for larger
percentage. and 1 have no doubt they get
It This IL no reflection upon any one,

but merely an illustration OF the lack Of
business principle in renting buildings
when the government should put them up
for tts own use.
by that method every department could
be housed under one roof, adding to the
facility in the transaction OF public bust
ness and greatly saving time for people
who have relations with the government.
Il sincerely hope that we may in the
near future take this step for providing
proper sites for these buildings, and
have no doubt that from time to time the
appropriations for the buildings them
selves will be forthcoming. because the
selection OF the site is often the one OBJ
stacle that defeats efforts to provide ac-
Communications for the government"

Powers and the attorneys decided that as

the moral effect vii! be sufficient to
insure him a fair hearing at this, his

Gov. Wilson will make no reouisition
upon the Governor of Indiana for the re-
turn of exiled former Gov. w. s.
Taylor to stand trial for alleged completely
in the murder of Senator Goebel.
Taylor Will Return.
The reason for this is an announcement
alleged to have been made by Taylor that
he would return for trial without a requi-
sition as soon as Gov. Wilson takes his
seat, as he Is then assured of a fair trial.
1t is said that an attempt will be made
during the Powers trial to lay the blame
for the Goebel murder on Henry E. Yout-
sey, Gov. Taylor's former private secre-
tary. who is now serving life sentence
in the pentitentiary for the killing.

that killed Goebel. and that Mason Hook

added the testimony Of prominent citi-
