ARREST OF NIGHT RIDERS.

Sensations came thick and fast at
Camp Memo, Tenn, when soldiers,
sheriA's posses and private citisens, who
have modified fOt the purpose OF hnnt-
ing the murderers ofCapt. Quentin Ran
kin, rounded up more than fifty prison
ers, all charged with being members OF
the secret clan of night riders in the
ReelfOot Lake section, where Capt. Ran
kin lost his life.
These arrests are the basis for the
statement that all but five Of the masked
mob who took Capt. Rankin and Col.
Taylor from the hotel at Walnut l. og,
are now guarded by soldiers or are Sc
curely located in jsils in FIVE counties
bordering the scene of the shooting.
The most surprising event was the de-
tention of ]. F. Carpenter, prominent
attorney of Union City, who was i'm.
prisoned in the guard house, charged
with having been in conspiracy with
night riders who decoyed Capt. Rankin
and Col. Taylor to the hotel at Walnut
Log under pretence of meeting a pur
chaser for some of the land which had
been in dispute and which was claimed
by the squatters.

The CAUSE OF COLDS.
Good Advice Regarding the Pre-.
vention of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about o8
per cent of coughs, colds and pneumo-
MIA might be avoided. These troubles
are simply the result of weakness, which
produces a catarrhal condition of the
mucuous membrane, which Is as an in
ternal skin Of the body. When this skin
Is weakened, 1t becomes infected with
germs which are carried through the
system by the blood. These parasites
attack and break these delicate tissues
and set up a soreness which produce
what is in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia ia a
medication which Is absorbed and car
ried by the blood so that the diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned, sooth-
ed and healed.
We have a remedy which we honestly
believe infallible and indispensable for
the prevention and cure OF coughs, colds
and all catarrhal conditions. It is the
prescription of famous physician, who
has an enviable reputation of 80 years
Of cures gained through the use Of this
medicine. We promise to either effect
cure in every case or make no charge
for the medicine. We urge everybody
in Alexandria who has need of such a
medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tons.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and give
our own personal guarantee to this rem-
edy If we were not absolutely positive
that we could substantiate our claim In
every particular, and we see no reason
why anyone should hesitate to accept
our offer and 1T. We have two sizes
of Rexall Mucu.Tone, Prices soc and
fr.oo. Sometimes soc bottle is subj
Gent for a cure. AS general thing, the
most chronic case is cured with an ave-
rage of three large bottles. Remember,
the mediciue will cost you nothing if
you are not satisfied in every respect. w.

PASTOR BARRED FROM CHURCH

Rev. W. ]. Houck, recently appoint
ed pastor OF the Allison Memorial
Church, of York, Pa, by the annual
conference, to succeed Rev. r. B. Roades
who had served the congregation for the
past four years, had the doors and vim
dows barred against him yesterday.
When the new pastor arrived to begin
the services of the day he found every
thing fastened, and was compelled to
leave. The congregation has nothing
personal sgsinst their new pastor, as
they say, but they insist that Rev.
Washington, presiding elder Of the dis
trict, meet the official members of the
church and explain why he recommended
the changing Of Rev. Roades.
Rev. Houck formerly served the First

ONE of the many amusing things Of
the present political campaign is the de-
gree of gall manifested by the men who
have deserted the democratic party ior
their own individual pecuniary interests
when they assert the democratic party
has degenersted, instead Of themselves,
because the Denver platform is pledgeo
to throw few safeguards around the de-
posits of both rich and poor In the
'tpusrantee of bank deposits" These
pretenders say the party OF Jefferson
Jackson, Calhoun, Benton, Tilden and
Cleveland cannot be entrusted with the
control of the affairs of this country by
reason of a lack of intelligence to con-
duct its money and banking matters.
The same men denounce the leaders OF
democracy, because these leaders resent
the arbitrary interference OF the federal
judiciary with the affairs of the several
states. Yes; there are degenerate demo-
Gratis but the chief of these are the de-
serters referred to.

RICHMOND, KY, Nov. 10.-Judge
Cochran in the Federal Court here

court beginning the fourth Monday in

pending arising out of claims for

overflow of the Kentucky river caus-
ed by the building of the numerous
locks in the river by the United
States.
After the usual preliminaries of
procedure the grand and petit juries
were empaneled. The Judges in
structions to the grand jury were to
the effect that they would have no
special Investigations to make, and
the nature of all cases before them
would be mostly along the lines of
the illicit sale. and making of liquor.
There are more than thirty moonshin-
ing and one or two seizure cases of
Importance which will probably be
tried at this term.
