For one, | hate OF dwell upon what

maulings, he Graves the emotion, the
maddening, blood-curdling frenzy this
process of killing eXcites. There are
degrees it is true, and the brutal in

birds drop whit broken wings as much
as watching bull and tiger shut in 4
cage battling out their bloody strength,
but it is all one in the main, Il bestial
excitement. But we are told that
spectators at such scenes are few

Sometimes the police step in, as they

Hyderabad, India.-The catastro

the capital of the nizam's domin-

dead, was one of the most sudden ana
most appalling of many visitations in
India. In the nizam's dominions are
many tanks or lakes, the largest of
which communicates with the river
Musi. Tremendous rains caused the
lake to overflow into the river, which
in turn burst its banks.

down upon the city, carrying every
thing before it and completely de

Thousands of tons of water crashed

When the flood subsided a vast quag-

all of them are badly mangled. MANY

STORY or ATTEMPT TO BRIEE
is TOLD IN AN AFFIDAVIT MADE
BY A PRIEST.
The Howard Gould Divorce Case Fur
nishes Another Sensational
Incident.

New York City.-That $4,000 had
been offered an employe of the Hotel
st. Regis to give false testimony
against Mrs. Howard Gould was the
substance of an affidavit, purportng to
have been made by Rev. Joseph G.
Murray, which was presented to
Justice Giegerich in the supreme court
Friday. The case came up before the
justice on a motion to strike out GER
tain allegations in Mrs. Goulds COM
plant in her suit for a separation
from her husband, as scandalous and
irrelevant. Mrs Gould's counsel op-
posed the motion and presented sew
cral affidavits in which it was charged
that certain witnesses had been hired
to testify in favor of Mr.. Gould
The affidavit of Father Murray was
one of the papers presented. 1t de
clares that Michael H. DOGGY had told
the priest that while he was employed
at the Hotel st. Regis, where Mr..
Gould lived, a detective went to him
with the proposition that he give a
proper report of Mrs. Gould's cOmings
and goings at the hotel, the amount of
wine she drank and the names of her
visitors, notably those that were
men,"
Another affidavit. made by Maurice
Molloy, alleges that Molloy was under
contract, while custodian of Castle
Gould at Port Washington, to treat
Mrs Gould in a contemptuous fashion.
The lawyer for Mrs. Gould recited
how it was alleged that Molloy had
gone into the house, sat on divans and
puffed cigarette smoke in Mrs. Gould's
face when she ordered him out of the
house.
She says she was particularly an
noyed by her husband during a trip to
Egypt, where they We're entertained
by the khedive and Prince Mohammed
Ali. She accuses Mr. Gould of being
jealous when she went driving with

BUSINESS BULLETIN.
Hesitation Is Noted in Nearly All the
Leading Industries.

New York City.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable weather has stimulated
retail trade materially, and the better
distribution to consumers brought a
larger movement in wholesale and
iobbing departments, but in most lead
ing industries there is still hesitation.
Low stocks of merchandise necessitate
urgency in replenishment when deal
ers find retail buying ON a normal
scale, as is the case in many sections
of the country, but preparations for
distant requirements proceed cautious
ly, although expressions of confidence
are heard on all sides.
On the whole there is improvement
in mercantile collections, yet in many
lines, especially the east, irregularity
is noted. Many factories have further
increased the number of hands at
work
While new business comes most
conservatively to the steel mills, or
ders on hand are sufficient to maintain
the current rate of production during
October, and activity is confidently ex-
pected next month. Railway buying
continues limited.

MIR. Bryan.

In the Baltimore American is an in.
terview with a prominent physician
and an influential Democrat, and thus
the man speaks: Il have been life
long Democrat, and | expect to remain
Democrat, but | cannot conscienti-
ously look upon Mr.. Bryan as a Demo
crat think he is Populist."
Viewed from the standpoint of pri-
mary Democratic principle, this mans
conclusion is correct, and every we'll
informed Democrat knows it. Mr..
Bryan has knocked over every sacred
doctrine the Democratic party ever
proclaimed and has stood up for about
everything the Populists ever pro-
posed. He was for free coinage, un-
liaited greenbacks, packing the SUI
preme court for political end, govern
ment ownership of railways; and as a
writer in the North American said he
would to-day be for socialism but he
is afraid his party would not stand
for it.-Ohio State Journal.

3ASTAWAYS ARE RESCUED
STEAMER AEON WRECKED ON A.
REEF IN MlD-OcEAN.
Passengers and Crew Spent Nearly
Two Months on Barren Island
in the Pacific.

Suva, Fiji Islands. - The cast
aways from the British steamer Aeon,
who spent nearly two months on
Christmas Island, an almost barren
coral formation in the Pacific ocean,
arrived here Wednesday on the steam,
er Manuka, OF the Canadian-Australiau
line, all well and increased by one in
number. A daughter was born to the
wife of Chaplain B. r. Patrick u. S.
N, "a hours before the Manuka was
sighted, and this event, with the ar.
rival of the rescuers, was made the
occasion of much rejoicing.
The Manuka reached Christmas
Island on September %. Six hundred
bags of mail were transferred to the
steamer during the night and the pas.
sengers and crew of the Aeon were
taken aboard the next morning.
The Aeon left San Francisco on July
S for Auckland by way of Apia, and
was carried on the coral island by the
strong currents setting in shore The
steamer speedily broke up, but the
mails were saved and a large quantity
of stores. The refugees suffered few
privations, but found themselves amid
the remnants of former wrecks, indi-
eating the danger of the reefs and
tides
Besides the officers and crew. the
Aeon carried Mrs. Patrick and her
children and the wife of Lieut.. w X.
Riddle, u. S. n. Rude shelters were
built, but later quite an artistic cot
tage was erected for Mrs. Patrick and
her nurse out of lumber and the cabin
fittings of the ship. Among the stores
saved were plenty of fresh vegetables,
and the men of the crew got fish in
abundance by the use of clubs in the
surf
A supply of fresh water was found
at depth of seven feet and according
to the castaways, under the circum-
stances, they Jared well indeed.

Llnht in the Dark Continent.

There is d new ray of light for
Africa. Belgium has decided to take
under national control the region of
the Congo Not since the days when
Great Britain was aroused to a white
heat by Armenian massacres has there
been SO much international indigna-
tion as in recent years over reported
atrocities in the valley of the Congo.
To be sure, there have been pro and
con, and the controversy has been
general, says the Boston Herald, that
the exploitation OF the resources of
the Congo has given much more atten-
ton to the size of the product than to
the life and happiness of the natives.
Perhaps the fittest and most hopeful
comment is the fact that Belgium it
self has taken this African dependen-
cy from the personal control of the
sovereign, Kin5 Leopold, and has
made national the government and
the responsibility therefor

OUTLAW GANG IS
BEING HUNTED
BY A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN
BUCKINGHAM COUNTY,
VIRGINIA.
GOV. SWANSON TAKES ACTION
Newspaper Men are Told to Leave
Arvona or be Shot-Leader of
Oesperadoes is Reported
to Have Been Killed.

Richmond, Va-Excitement in Ar
vonia is greatly allayed but in
the outlying districts, where the
houses are several miles distant from
each other, the people are still fearful
CT visitations from the Zimmerman
Thomas gang of outlaws.
The crisis was reached Thursday
when Edmund w Hubbard states at
torney for Buckingham county, tele-
graphed to the justice of the peace in
Arvonia to summon 80 men and form
them in squads of 20 to scour the
country for the desperadoes. Mr..
Hubbard acted after consultation with
Gov. Swanson. 1t is supposed the
vigilance committee started last night.
The latest report from the outlaw
country is that Charles Newton, broth
er-in-law of Benjamin Zimmerman,
supposed to be the leader of the gang,
is dead from wounds inflicted by one of
the desperadoes. The report could
not be confirmed owing to the mac
feasibility of the place where the
shooting is said to have occurred, but
it is generally believed that Newton
has been killed. The murder, if it oc-
CURED, is the result of an old grudge
existing between the victim and his
slayer
Some time ago Zimmerman is al.
| legged to have attempted a criminal as
sault on Newton's wife, and after the
warrant was sworn out for his arrest,
to have threatened his brother-in-law.
| In consequence of the threats, New
ton and his wife moved from the home
of the band to place called Payne's
Station, near where the alleged shoot
ing took place. 1t is reported that
members of the gang have been sight
| ed in the woods between the Slate and
James rivers, but no one has got with
in earshot of them.
Affairs for newspaper men reached
a climax Thursday at Arvonia when
the first greeting they received was
! that they would be shot on sight and
that it would be well for them to leave
the village. The bearer of the message
would not divulge the name of the
| sender He repeated the message sew
eral times, and the reporters took him
at his word

TAFT AND THE TRUSTS.
People of the Country May Rely on
Republican Nominee.

The more the people see and hear
William Howard Taft the less doubt
there will be as to his purpose and
ability to keep up the good work of
the Roosevelt administration. Where
the next president let's his country
men judge him at first hand there is
little question that the present stand
ards of the national government will
be maintained.
Especially in dealing with corpora
tions which disobey national laws and
conduct their business unfairly, Roose.
welt has been so vigorous, SO aggres.
sive and so convincing in stating his
case to the country that there has
been disposition TO look for
marked change when his successor
shall take up the heavy tasks of the
presidency. 1t has been said that Taft
would not attack the great evils OF
misused wealth with such force and
zeal as the present executive has
shown, and this view has been quite
general.
But when and where the Republican
candidate is seen and heard and the
people have an opportunity to come
into close contact with him, this fear
of the weakening of the federal gov
ernment, in any important respect,
gives place to new confidence in the
ability and determination of the man
whom Theodore Roosevelt himself
recommends for his successor. When
men come to know Taft, face to face,
they feel and trust his strength, his
frmness of purpose, his high charac-
ter, his ability to get the results de-
sired. Then they become certain that
there will be no backsliding at Wash.
ington, no giving up of any ground
which has been won by the govern
ment, when the next president takes
up the burden his friend and intimate
associate lays down.
Taft tours are sure to make Taft
votes because of this clearing away of
Misunderstanding Taft speeches will
win many wavering voters simply be-
cause they will make clearer the truth
about Taft. Where he is known he is
trusted Those who stand closest to
him are most confident of his great
success in the White House.

TAFT VISITS BRYAN'S TOWN.
Republican Candidate Receives Warm
Welcome at Lincoln, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb.-Accepting the chal.
lenge of William J. Bryan, right
in the home city of the Nebraskan
William II. Taft on Wednesday night
not only indorsed President Roosevelt
on the question of the publicity of cam
paign contributions, but defended il
with arguments to establish that posi-
ton as sound from the standpoint of
public good and to show that the
Bryan position was one simply for pre-
election effect.
MIR. Taft made II speeches IN Ne
braska before reaching Lincoln and
five speeches in Lincoln His audi
ences throughout were large and en-
thusiastic and his reception in Lincoln
was made particularly gratifying to
him by the enthusiasm exhibited by
the immense crowds which greeted
him at all points.
Excursion trains came to Lincoln
from many places in the state during
the day and the city was alive with
bands, marching clubs and general
campaign excitement.
Mr.. Bryan, whose plan was to reach
the city Wednesday forenoon, had
changed his schedule so as to bring
him in at | o'clock Thursday morning.
This change precluded any possible
meeting between the candidates.
The one disappointing feature of the
Taft demonstration in Lincoln was the
bad condition of the voice of the can
didate.
