Yesterday Sheriff Conlee was mott
fed of shooting at Wixon and last
night went out to investigate. From
his investigation it seems that negro,

squirrel shot, but inhicting no serious
wounds.
I The examining trial is being con-
Quoted this afternoon.
While Sheriff Conlee and Deputy

presently when three negroes rode up
on horseback he relieved one of them,
Ed Cavitt, of a pistol and lodged him
in Jail.

FILLED BAPTIST PULPIT.

Prof. f. B. Moore of Boaz. Ala,
preached at the First Baptist Church
at both the morning and evening serv-
ices yesterday. His theme for the
morning service was Power" based
on the manifestation of the power Of
the Lord on the day of Pentecost, viz:
the gift of tongues. the making of a
Christian hero out of the coward Peter,
who denied his Saviour, and the con-
victing of men of sin, making them
cry opt, Men and brethren, what
shall we do to be saved?"
At the night service his subject was
Eternal Life" and the two sermons
were much enjoyed by the large con-
gregations that heard them.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Special to the Review

SPECIAL to the Review ..
Washington, May 7.-There is
nothing which is greater mystery
to the average person than how the,
newspapers get their news. Here
in Washington there are perhaps
400 or 500 newspaper correspondents
and reporters who are constantly
engaged in gathering news Of what
is going on and also forecasting what
will come to pass. 1t would seem
that there could be nothing happeI-
ing of importance that they would
not discover and report to their pa
pers, and yet on very recent date
200 men engaged in an industry
which at the time was occupying a
large place III the public eye, ard
which turns out product worth
some $500. 900, 900 annually, (this
being a very unoficia! estimate, }
met at hotel in this city, held sew
eral business meetings. and adjourn
ed without one word about their
presence here being recorded in the
papers. The men composing the
convention were not seeking motor
iety, but they were not especially
trying to avoid it and they thought
it strange that they were overlooked.
The Magic of Success
From a state of dreamy, quiet con-
tent which characterized it for years,
San Diego has awakened to the
magic possibilities of Opportunity.
When it put its hand down into its
pockets and drew forth 100000
in public subscriptions to guarantee
the success of the Panama-California
Exposition it was scarcely awake to
the meaning of its enterprise. When
it voted a million of public funds to
further assist the project it had be-
gun to understand what it was en-
gagiDg in. When it voted another
million to improve its harbor front in
preparation for the commerce Of the
world that will come with the open
ing of the Exposition's gates, it
showed that it comprehended its op-
portunity; and then suddenly be-
came wide awake and increased the
capital of TIE Exposition to s., $780,
600 and prepared to expand and
meet the responsibilities it had un-
! dertaken.
