DEMOCRATS LEFT A DISMAL
RECORD.
We are in receipt of the following
letter from one of our subscribers at
Richards, Onslow County:

We are in receipt Of the following
letter from one of our subscribers at
Richards, Onslow County:
"Will you please print in your
paper what year cotton sold the
lowest since 1892.
1.-The Democrats claim cotton
sold lower during McKinley's
administration than Cleveland's,
and l know it's false"
In reply to our subscribers in
quiry, we will state that cotton sold
lower under Cleveland's administra-
tion than under McKinley's. And
not only cotton. but corn and all
other products raised by the farmer
sold lower under Cleveland's admin
istration than they did under McKin-
ley's administration, or at any time
since Cleveland's administration. I'm
der Cleveland's administration cotton
sold for four and five cents a pound
corn 30 to 40 cents a bushel, sweet
potatoes at 20 cents busheI, grown
chickens at Is to 20 cents a piece
eggs at to 8 cents a dozen. and
pork from 4 to 5 cents a pound
Times were prosperous when Cleve-
land went into office, but under his
administration the country expert
enced the worst panic in the history
OF this generation. Some of the
doubling Thomases may try to make
you believe that we are prejudiced
and are writing only from our politi-
cal standpoint. and in answer to any
such person, or persons, we will
quote the following from Dun's Com
mercial Report of the conditions for
1898. Dun's agency is non-political
and their reports are accepted by
men in all walks of life. The re-
port says:
Starting with the largest
trade ever known, mills crowd
ed with work and all business
stimulated by high hopes, the
year 1893 has proved, in sudden
shrinkage of trade, in CONNER
cial disasters and depression of
industries, the worst for fifty
years. Whether the final results
of the panic Of 1897 were rela-
lively more severe, the scanty
records Of that time do not
clearly show. The year closes
with prices of many products the
lowest ever known, with mil
lions Of workers seeking in vain
for work. and with charity la
boring to keep back suffering
and starvation in all our cities.
All hope the new year may bring
brighter days, but the dying
year leaves only dismal rec
ord"

OUT FOR FUGITIVE
Man Is Charged With kidnapping
Posse Searching.

Bottineau. n. d.. Aug. 2.-The sher-
III and posse are securing the Turtle
mountains in quest of G. Griffin, coll
ored. charged with KIDNAPPING a 14-
years-old daughter of NJ. lverson Of
the mountains. Griffin and Lawrence
King, the Indian half breed. took the
girl to lonely cabin in the mountains
where they kept her for several days.
They finally got wind Of the sheriff
being after them and let her go and
made break for the woods. King
was easily caught, but Griffin, who Is
an ex-convict, is still at large. Be-
sides he is reported by those who
have seen him to be armed with two
big six shooters and is making tracks
for Canada as fast as he can. Tho
mountains on that side Of the line are
much wilder and less accessible than
on this side, and should he reach
there the mountain police will have
to be called on to get him. He was
seen last night and had besides his
revolvers, enough provisions to last
him several days, besides the settlers'
gardens are now at their best. The
sheriff came in from the scene Of ac-
tion and returned shortly after With
more men, and hopes to get tho refu-
gee soon.

DEMOCRATS IN:
+. TEXAS BR|bED
Legislature Will Start an In.
vestigation Into Corrup-
tion in Primary

Austin. Tex. Aug. BY the vote
of SO to 23 the house this morning
adopted substitute offered by Can.
ales and Caves for their resolution
providing for an investigation which
was originally offered Tuesday. In
the substitute the scope of the inves-
tigation is widened. the names of Cone
johnson and NJ NJ. Crane are elimin-
ated. and the investigation is made
to include that of money spent by
special interests" in the primary
campaign Just closed.
There are those who have made all
attempt to twist the adoption Of the
resolution into meaning an effort to
discredit the candidacy of o. B. Col
quit in advance of the Galveston con-
vention; but the authors of the bill
disclaimed any political intentions in
their action and 1t was noticed that
on roll call nearly all OF the Colquitt
supporters in the house voted for the
adoption of the resolution.
Considerable debate marked the
adoption of the resolution. Represen-
tat'ive Canales declared that he want
ed the scope Of the resolution and the
investigation to be made as large as
possible so that the absence of re-
stricticn might leave no room for the
subsequent charges that the investi-
cation had resulted in whitewash.
He did not favor spending any time
on base1ess charges or foolish ones.
but thought that the committee should
call mo one before it who was not a
responsible citizen and who would
not be able to substantiate what he
charged.
Scope Of Investigation.
Upon a question from Mr.. Munson
If this special session had been in
tended to chase down every charge of
ill-spent money during the recent
campaign. Canales responded that 1t
was his idea that only specific charges
be investigated: thereupon Mr.. Mum
son contended that violation of the
law regulating elections was a better
subject for the grand jury than for
the legislature.
But the author of the resolution de-
clared that the legislature was su-
perior to the grand juries. and that 1t
was the duty Of that body to investi-
gate any Irregularities in the con.
duct of its members or any misuse of
funds in the election Of any state Of
ficers where such had occurred.

Day of 5021 Schuyler street, whose
body was found today under circum-
stances extremely mysterious on the
lawn of w. W. Justice, at Mannheim
and Norris streets, Germantown, was
strangled to death while defending
herself against an attack or whether
she died naturally while suffering
from asthma, the police are exerting
every effort to obtain some trace of
how the woman spent the last hours
before her death.
The most mystery surrounds the
death Of the woman. A large corps
of detectives. special policemen and
Investigators from the coroner's Office
are honeycombing Germantown and
the entire city for some clue which
will shed particle of light on the
case. They admit that they are face
to face with one of the most inexplica-
BILE cases which they have been called
upon to solve In many years.
The single clue which the police
have yet unearthed is mans blue
necktie. which was found on the side
walk about five feet from the place
where the woman's body laid. A
short distance from the necktie was
discovered one of the pins belonging
to Miss Cloughessy. The supposition
is that during the struggle which is
believed to have occurred the mans
necktie was torn from his collar and

Miss Cloughessy was choked to
death. The marks of her assailant's
fingers as they dug into her flesh are
still visible on both sides of her neck.
Her lips are torn and her shoulders
blue with bruises. Her clothing was
also torn and her hair dishevelied
Blood was found in her mouth when
she was discovered. and the marks on
the throat were evidently those made
by the murderer's fingers.
Today, when Angelo and Kulp dis
covered the body of Miss Cloughessy,
they called Brunt over from the ad-
jacent estate. He uttered an excla-
nation Of horror and then rushed to
the pavement The woman was ly-
ing behind the wall just opposite the
place where they had found the cakes.
Looking closer. he picked up two side
combs.
The discovery of these combs and
the presence of the cakes lead the po-
lice to believe that the woman and a
companion partook Of little lunch
sitting on the curb and that after
ward they took walk, her hair
either being torn or taken down. 1t
