CHICACO'S VERDICT.

ruoiic Opinion on Trolley Line
 Control-Bitter Campaign Is
 Ended-Hearst In Fight. I CHICAGO, April 3.-The most in tense campaign in municipal politics that Chicago has experienced in many years closed with the election of Fred erick A. Busse, the Republican candi date for mayor, over Edward F Dunne, his Democratic rival and a can d!date for reelection. Busse's plural. ity was between 15,O0O and 1S,OOC votes.
 The issues in the campaign have been largely based upon the improve ment of the local traction systems. | Both parties agreed that present condi- tions are intolerable, but differed as to the best methods of revising them. The Democratic party, headed by Mayor Dunne. stood for immediate municipal ownership through condemnation of the street car property If the result could not be obtained in any other way. The Republican party favored ordinances which were recently passed by a Democratic city council over the veto of Mayor Dunne.
 These ordinances provided for twen- ty. year franchises for the street car companies, the city retaining the right to purchase the systems for $5O,OOO, GOO plus the amount to be spent for imme- diate reha abilitation of the lines, six months notice being necessary of the city's intention to acquire the property. The ordinances also provide for uni- versal transfers throughout the city, a five cent fare and 55 per cent of the net profit of the companies to be paid to the city. These ordinances are ap- proved now by a majority vote of about 10000.
 William Randolph Hearst came per sonally from New York to take part in the campaign and brought with him cartoonists and editorial writers. His papers were the only publications in the. city supporting Mayor Dunne, al, other newspapers being for Busse and the ordinances. The papers favoring Busse made much of the cry that Chi. cago was able to manage its own in- terests without receiving instructions from New York.
 The Hearst papers claimed that May or Dunne was acting for the best in- terests of Chicago and that 1t was, therefore, their duty to support him.

Elope7s Drown Themselves.

Clifton Forge, Va, April 1s.-After
being arrested and brought back here
because they attempted to elope to
Washington, where they intended
being united in the bonds of matri-
mony, Miss Mabel Pendleton, a IT,
year-old girl, plunged from the sus-
pension bridge over Jackson river,
and Stewart G. Gay, age 10, who was
to have become her husband, jumped
to save his sweetheart's life, but was
attacked with cramps when within a
few feet of the bank and both were
drowned. A negro made vain effort
to save the pair, who sank together.
Cav was a son of Conductor Charles
Gay of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
road. Miss Pendleton was formerly

Limbs for Veterans.

The State pension board yesterday
made arrangements for the purchase
of artificial limbs from A. l.. Peters,
of Richmond, Va, who submitted a

number of representatives present at
the meeting of the board and the firm
awarded the bid stated that a branch
Office would be opened in Columbia
and during the reunion a large num-
Der of the veterans visiting Columbia
would be measured and the limbs sent
them. The act does not allow the
money to be given in place of the
limb and an itemized report must be
made on the $4,000 spent for this pur-
pose.
The board also went over a number
of the county rolls, but it will be sew
eral days before they complete this
work.-The State, 18th.

Severe Pains

In the bowels and stomach are often
speedily relieved by the application
of a bag of hot salt. A weak solution
of salt and water is recommended by
good physicians as a remedy for i'm
perfect digestion; and for a cold in
the head it is a complete cure snuffed
u D from the hollow of the hand. We
have known severe chronic cases of
catarrh entirely cured by persistent
use of this simple remedy every night
and morning for several months, when
the best efforts of the best physicians
failed to do any good.

Girl Of Fifteen Fired at Negro.

Calmly glancing down the barrel of
a double-barreled shotgun, the bust
ness end of which she trained deliber-
ately upon the bulky form of her as
sailant, Miss Ida Smith, a young girl
IS years of age, living seven miles
southeast of Decatur, near Snapfinger
creek, emptied both barrels of the
weapon at Jim Sellers, a negro who
was advancing upon her with an up
lifted knife, and saved herself from
being murdered at her home Friday
afternoon.
At the time the negro attempted to
take her life Miss Smith was alone at
the home of her parents with only a
3-year-old infant as her companion.
The babe was sleeping quietly upon
the bed and the Industrious young girl
was withdrawing the hearth of the
front room. Her mother, in company
with a neighbor, had gone to the near
by creek to fish.
Suddenly the silence of the room
was broken by the grating of a window
in the rear. Hastily turning, Miss
Smith was almost %paralyzed to see the
burly form of a negro crawling through
the opening with a long knife open in
his hand.
81 am going to kill you, and 1 am
going to do it now" growled the negro
as he placed one foot over the window
sill and prepared to draw his body in
to the room. Not for one instant did
the heroic young woman hesitate.
Something must be done and done
quickly. Dropping the whitewash
brush to the floor, she sprang to the
side of the bed, as the negro supposed,
to secure the sleeping baby and fee.
But Miss Smith did not contemplate
fight.
A double barreled shot gun stood by
the side of the bed. Grasping the
weapon in her strong young arms she
threw it to her shoulder and without
any preliminary warning or threats
discharged both barrels at the advanc-
ing negro. By some mischance zone
OF the shots took effect, but seeing
that he was foiled and that his own
life was in danger the negro bolted
through the open window and fed
Atlanta Georgian and News.
