gion—Steady Increase of the Death
Holl—The Work of Relief -Coffins
Corded Up Like Stove Wood.
West Superior, Wis., Sept, *3.—Nearly
all those who survived the terrible for
est fires in northern Minnesota have now
been removed to places of safety in
Superior and Duluth, and as a heavy
rains has quenched the flames there will
be no further casualties. The work of
seaching for the dead is progressing in
earnest. Yesterday afternoon fifty-four
bodies were ourned at Sandstone,most
of them charred beyond recognition and
were buried wherever found. When the
relief train reached Sandstone not a sign
of a building was left in the town.
Around or in the ruins of each house
were found several human bodies. The
living inhabitants of the town were
brought into Superior at midnight. At
Hinckley 328 bodies were lying in the
streets. They are being buried as
rapidly as possible by a committee from
Pine City.
At Pokegama, on the St. Cloud divi
sion of tne Great Northern, there are
twenty-eight corpses. They are still
lying unburied, the rest of the people
having left the place. At Partridge only
two are dead, though not a building is
standing. It is impossible to tell where
Partridge was, as the whole surrounding
country Is in ashes. Passenger traffic
was resumed on the St. Paul and Duluth
railroad to-day, but Great Northern
through trains will not be running for
some time.
COMPLETE AND CYCLONIC WORK.
Duluth, Minn., Sept. 4.—ln a stretch of
territory twenty-six miles long, and from
one to fifteen miles wide, not a single hu
man habitation has been left standing
except a section house at Miller, and in
every part of the track of the flames bod
ies of men. women, children, horses and
cattle were found. The position of ev
erybody found outside of Hinckley shows
that shelter of some kind was sought by
the agonized sufferers, and the dead are
found in holes behind overturned
stumps, trees, marshy depressions
and in every watercourse. The
general shape of the fire-swept
district is like a huge cigar with its south
western end about Mission Creek and the
upper end terminating a few miles east
of Finlayson or Rutledge. From this a
number of branches extend northward
to beyond the tracks of the Eastern
Minnesota railroad.
The work of the fire has been complete
and cyclonic in character. Where the
fire held sway not a single tree is stand
ing except as a blackened stump. Thou
sands of overturned trees are lying pros
trate, and the roots were burning fiercely
up to last evening, when the welcome
rain fell.
A careful canvass reveals the fact that
seventy-two settlers’ homes outside of
towns fell. As near as can be learned
there were five hundred people in these
homes. At Brooksdale, a little town on
the Eastern Minnesota railroad south of
Hinckley, about ninety people took ref
uge in the water of a small creek. Out
of this place sixty-seven dead bodies were
taken and buried, and some thirty living
BBreons8 Breons were rescued, some badly burned,
onductor James Sargent of the St. Paul
and Duluth road has been working for
the railroad with an improvised train
consisting of three hand cars spliced to
gether with planks, picking up and iden
tifying the bodies of the dead.
THE WORK or RELIEF.
All the bodies were carefully examined
and in many cases were fully identified
and in every case a complete record was
made of everything that could possibly
lead to identification. Beyond Duluth
most remarkable work has been done.
Without regard to age, sex or social
standing, hundreds of people, including
those of the very highest social standing
in the city, have been working day and
night since Saturday night, have organ
ized thoroughly into all needed sub-com
mittees and have, in a systematic way,
taken care of men and women, children
and babies. Special committees are
caring for the little ones. Over SB,OOO in
cash has been given for temporary relief
and goods and clothing valued at as much
more have been given.
HAD TO THROW THEM OFF.
s. A. Thompson, who went out on the
burial train yesterday has returned. All
the way down tlhe trainmen almost had
to throw people off who wished to go
along and take in the grave sights. At
Finlayson a party headed by Ed Finlay
son dropped off and went east several
miles, visiting among other places the
Billedeaut farm, where the bodies of
three children were found. The rest of
the family had gone to Sandstone.
A party headed by Fred Reynolds
dropped off near Skunk lake, and got the
bodies of Mrs. Lind and five children,
whose home was a half mile west of the
track. The train picked up the bodies of
Dittel and Elder, two operators of the
North American Telegraphy Company,
who had been sent out to the scene of the
trouble. The train picked up eleven
bodies, including that of General Passen
ger Agent Rowley of the Winnipeg, near
the track-
It was learned that Pine Lake, a settle
ment seven miles west of Finlayson, was
untouched, but nothing has been heard of
Sand Lake, a settlement away from the
railroad, and it is feared it has gone up in
smoke. Another body was discovered in
the mud at the edge of Skunk lake, but
it could not be got out.
At Miller A. A. Farrington and Robert
Forbes headed parties and started for
Sandstone, and have not since been heard
from.
CORDED UP LIKE STOVE WOOD.
Mr. Thompson himself headed a party
that picked up seven bodies in the
Westerland cellar halt a mile west of the
wreck. Another party headed by Lynch,
got the bodies of Ea Greenfield’s five
children, a halt mile south of the wreck,
near the track. The burial train reached
Hinckley at 6 o’clock p. in. The coroner
of Pine county said there were 187 bodies
already picked up in Hinckley alone,
with more to follow. They were piled
up in boxes and coffins near the track
like so much cord wood.
TRAIN FROM MINNEAPOLIS.
Hinckley, Minn., Sept. 4.—The special
train sent out by the citizens of Minneapo
lis, bearing supplies and medical relief to
the suffering people of Hinckley and
vicinity, had on board eleven physicians
and surgeons with a full supply of drugs
and instruments, and fifty canvas cots.
Pine city was the main objective point,
from whence the relief and supplies were
to be distributed and the temporary hos
pitals had been opened. The medical
committee was met at the depot by the
heroic little wife of Dr. Barnum? the
local physician, who with her husband
had been working day and night from the
tune tho first victims were brought in, till
they were almost completely worn out.
"Oh, we’re so glad you’ve come,”
almost sobbed the little woman to Dr.
Mclonald as he stepped from the train.
TBB GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT’S BODY.
The platform was crowded with inquis- j
Rive, but glad looking people with scarred i
faces and bandaged hands and arms bear- i
Ing pathetic witness to the terrible ex- |
perience. Near the edge of the platform |
rested a coffin box in which were enclosed i
the remains of what was once the gen
eral passenger agent of the Winnipeg and I
BAKING POWDER.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
IvCr££ Powder
ABSOB.BJTEB.V PURE
Duluth railroad—O. Rowley. The poor
fellow was one of the passengers on En
gineer Jim Root’s ill-fated train, and the
body was found yesterday a short dis
tance from the burned train, but so
j charred and disfigured that its identity
was only established by the name printed
on the inside of the burned fragment of
a linen collar. He had been in the habit
of coming down from Duluth every Satur
day to spend Sunday with his family at
Merriam Park, and was on his way home
when he met his death.
EXAGGERATED ACCOUNTS.
The correspondent found that, not
withstanding the reports received, mat
ters relating to the number and condi
tion of the wounded and the necessity for
supplies had been greatly exaggerated so
far as Pine City was concerned. Instead
of 200 wounded to be cared for, there
were about twenty, and many not seri
ously hurt.
EITHER LIFE OR DEATH.
Even those at Duluth scarcely outnum
bered those at Pine city. It appears that
it was a clean cut case of either life or
death. Most of those who escaped did so
with little or no physical hurt. The
most severe and dangerous cases in Pine
City had. been taken to the improvised
hospital at the' rink, and here nine of the
medical relief set to work while the other
two went on to Hinckley. Only about
twelve patients were being cared for at
the rink, but all in all they presented a
pitiable and heartrending spectacle.
INSANE AND BADLY BURNED.
Nearly all the patients are Scandi
navians. Two women who lost all their
relatives are maniacs, as well as dan
gerously burned. Between Pine City and
Hinckley the country was swept bare of
everything living or green. At Hinckley
only about a dozen of the tents put up by
the state authorities were occupied.
There is not a building left standing.
Every person there was engaged in re
covering, identifying or burying the dead.
THE NUMBER OF THE DEAD.
Pine City, Mich., Sept. 4.—The general
executive committee in charge of the re
lief work in this section has made a re
port of the dead bodies recovered thus
far as follows: Hinckley 271,’Sandstone
77, Miller (often called Sandstone Junc
tion) 15, between Skunk lake and Miller
12, Poke Gama 25, in lumber camps 50.
Total 450.
GHOULS AT WORK.
Ghouls are at work in the vicinity of
Today a party from Duluth,
under James Bailey, came down to help
bury the dead, and while searching
around at noon, came on a gang who had
broken into rand rifled some safes, and
when Bailey and party met them they had
just found a cistern from which they had
tiauled fifteen dead bodies and had robbed
them of their Jewelry, rings, trinkets,
etc., and were throwing the bodies back
into the well. Bailey and party were un
armed and the ghouls took to their heels
and escaped. A frame powder magazine
at Sandstone, a portion of which was left
standing and which was empty, was torn
down for material for coffins.
SEEN FOR MANY HOURS.
The fire was seen by the Sandstone peo
ple four hours before it stri/ck the town,
and everything was packed up in readi
ness to move to Kettle river, east of the
village. Before any one was aware of
the real danger the fire came upon the
town from the northwest, and firing the
whole town inside of five minutes,
many were unable to reach the
river and died in the streets. A
blacksmith burned to a crisp in his shop
where he was shoeing a horse. So sudden
was the fire, not a thing was saved, and
m thirty minutes the whole town was
out. Those who reached the river re
mained there most of the night. The sur
vivors are ehtirely destitute and have not
even clothes, except as they are provided
by the relief committees. President
Sam Hill, of the Eastern Minnesota
branch of the Northern Pacific, came up
from Hiuckly this morning and took a
northern train over the St. Paul and
Duluth railroad. Hill took the Duluth
road within nine miles of Sandstone and
walked over. The big Minnesota railroad
bridge over the Kettle river has a steel
arch in the middle eighty feet long and is
still intact, though the wooden approaches
are burned.
PECULIAR FEATURES OF THE FIRE.
“The scene of death and ruin alone the
road is a terrible one” says Mr. “Hill,
"not a sign of life is anywhere to be seen.
Dead animals and human bodies are
everywhere and they are buried where
ever found. In one old well was'
found twenty-five snakes and forty
or fifty field mice all in to
gether alive. There were many peculiar
features of the fire. In one place where
all else was burned and blackened all
around, a wagon was found with the hay
in the box intact while the horses were
dead. There is yet to be cleared on the
Minnesota road a gap of twelve miles be
tween Sandstone and Duluth, eight miles
of which are between Hinckley and Sand
stone.
“There are four miles in St. Cloud’s di
rection which will tyj closed by to-mor
row. I noticed in one place some freight
car wheels which were melted, while not
800 feet away was another car un
touched.”.
Judge Nethaway of Stillwater has been
one of the most active in relief work, and
has been all over the surrounding coun
try.
DEATH ROLL INCREASING.
Duluth, Minn., Sept. 4. The death roll
resulting from forest fires increases, and
is now over 650, the greater part women
and children. The greatest percentage
of deaths occurred among the settlers,
where whole families were swept out of
existence in the twinkling of an eye. Not
in any one direction, but every part of the
fire-swept district, the finding of bodies
hourly swells the list. At an early hour
this morning, a party of thirty expe
rienced woodsmen left on a special con
veyance to scour the woods for bodies of
settlers in out-of-the-way cabins and
clearings. Thev are expected to bring
back appalling reports.
FLAMING MICHIGAN FORESTS.
Detroit, Mich., Sept. 4.—Dispatches ;
from the upper peninsular of Michigan
show that the rainfall in that region
yesterday and last night has effectually I
put a stop to forest fires and will be the
means of saving millions of pine and lots
of homesteaders’ crops and houses. The
damage already done, however, is im
mense, and in many localities total loss
can only be avoided by the immediate
cutting of the timber.
There is considerable evidence that ,
many of the fires are of incendiary
origin, set by men who knew that the '
scorched pine would have to be cut at '
once, thus giving them work. The fires
will also force into the market much pine
that was held by non-logging capitalists j
for the purpose of speculation. At any
rate, hundreds of men will be given im- '
mediate employment.
It is thought that nearly every foot of
standing pine in Ontanoeon county is I
burned fully 500,000.000 feet. The Nee-
I ter estate has lost 90,000.000; Trout Creek 1

Lumber Company 20,000,000; Diamond
Match Company 150,000.000. The bal
ance is owned by homesteaders at Paynes
ville and Bruce’s crossing.
Many cattle and horses were burned,
but no human lives were lost, though
there have been many perilous situations
and narrow escapes. The railroads have
large gangs at work repairing road beds
and bridges, and are rapidly getting in
shape to resume traffic.
WAS A FOBGEBY. •
The Appeal That Brought Mr. Glad*
stone’s Money Was a Fraud.
London, Sept. 4.—The subscription of
Mr. Gladstone, Lord Tweedmouth and
other English liberals to the Irish parlia
mentary fund, in response to a circular
signed Justin McCarthy, William
O’Brien, John Dillon and T. P. O’Connor,
has led to inquiry, which proves that the
circular is a forgery, designed to compro
mise the McCarthy] tes.
O’Brien declares that he knows noth
ing about the circular. McCarthy ac
cepts the responsibility of taking the En
glish liberals’ contributions, but repudi
ates the circular appeal. Dillon writes
that no appeal has been made to any En
glishman, much less to any member
of the goverment, under the knowl
edge or approval of the committee of the
Irish party. He declines to express an
opinion as to whether the contributions of
Gladstone and Lord Tweedmouth ought
to be accepted, but expresses hope that
the incident will not increase the scan
dalous wrangles, of which Ireland has be
come thoroughly sick.
In regard to the statement alleged to be
made by Timothy Healy, that the Par
nellites had been promised £20,000 out of
the national treasury, John Dillon says it
is an absolute falsehood. Healy, nimself,
says he knows that there is not the
slightest foundation for such a statement.
BEND THE KNEE TO ENGLAND.
Dublin, Sept. 4.—John E. Redmond,
member of parliament, speaking here to
day declared that that great political
crime, the abandonment of Parnell, had
resulted in the disruption of the real Irish
party and in the bending of its knee to
England. This generation, he said, would
not see the end of Ireland’s, sufferings.
With the suppression of Parnell, Ireland
ceased to have a national leader or a na
tional organization.
THE VIGILANT’S BAD LUOK.
She Strikes a Rock and Loses Her
Centerboard Again.
Cowes. Sept. 4.—The Vigilant has met
with another mishap. While on her pas
sage from Portland to Cowes yesterday
she struck a rock near Hathergood Point
and lost her centerboard again. Howard
Gould and Mr. Boyd, who were sitting at
luncheon, had a narrow escape from
serious injury. As the boat struck, the
crank flew from the centerboard winch
and struck the corner of the table at
which they were sitting with such force
as to break off a large piece of the top.
The cogs were torn from the windlass
wheels and the entire centerboard appa
ratus was generally disarranged. Mr.
W. Jameson, representing the Prince of
Wales, together with a committee of the
Royal Yacht Squadron, went on board
the Vigilant this afternoon to investigate
the extent of the damage sustained by
the American boat. Mr. Gould, after
conferring with Jameson and tbe com
mitteee, withdrew his challenge for the
Cape May cup, and the withdrawal was
accepted. The race was therefore de
clared off. Mr. Gould will sail for New
York on Sept. 27, leaving both the Ata
lanta and the Vigilant on this side.
THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Dr. Price’s Baking Powder Receives It
For leavening power, keeping qualities,
purity and general excellence the world’s
fair jury decided that Dr. Price’s Cream
Baking Powder had no equal. On each
of its claims it was awarded a first prize
or a diploma. All the baking powders en
tered for prizes were subjected to a most
exhaustive examination, and the jury was
the best equipped to make the decision of
any ever got together. Their verdict was
supported by the testimony of Dr. H. W.
Wiley, chief chemist of the United States
department of agriculture at Washington.
Dr. Wiley is an expert on food products
and the highest authority on such mat
ters in America. This verdict settles a
long debated question as to which among
the many baking powders is the best.
TO WILLIAM I.
Emperor William Unveils the Monu
ment to His Grandfather.
Konigsberg, Sept. 4.—Emperor William,
accompanied by the empress, arrived here
this morning in order to unveil the mouu- ,
ment erected to the memory of his grand
father, Emperor William 1. Consequently
the town is in holiday attire, and is
crowded with visitors. Emperor William
was on horseback, and the empress rode
in a carriage. Upon their arrival at the
gates of the city all the bells were set
ringing, and the mayor read an address of
welcome from the people of Konigsberg.
The imperial party then proceeded to the
main square, where the monument stands.
The streets were lined with troops, and
behind them were dense masses of people.
On the square a guard of honor was
drawn up. Count von Eulenberg, as
president of the memorial committee, re
ceived their majesties, and in a speech of
welcome dwelt upon the memoraole ser
vices which William I. had rendered to
the fatherland. A prayer followed, after
which the emperor unveiled the monu
ment. Then came a march past of the
troops, after which the imperial party
took lunch at the castle.
JAPS GIVEN UP.
The Chinese Authorities Promise Not
to Torture the Prisoners.
Shanghai, Sept. 4.—The Chinese having
claimed control over the Japanese resi
dents in China, asserting that Japan
claims control over the Chinese residents
in Japan, the American consul, acting
under instructions from Washington only
to intervene with friendly offices, yester
day delivered to the Taotai outside the
settlement limits, two Japanese who were
recently arrested, accused of being spies,
and who had been under the protection of
the United States. The Chinese authori
ties pledged themselves not to torture
prisoners, and to give them a fair trial.

The Tifton Barbecue.
Waycross, Ga., Sept. 4. —The Demo
cratic league will send a fair delegation
to the joint discussion and barbecue at
Tifton to-morrow. There will be at least
fifty persons from Waycross and good
crowds will go from Brunswick and
other places on the Brunswick and West

DEMOCRACY’S GREAT DAY.
Distinguished Speakers Throughout
the State Spread the Doctrine.
Gen. Evans and Messrs. Turner, Gar
rard, Russell, Guerry, Attorney
General Terrell and Many Others
Among the Speakers—Every Corner
of Georgia Covered by the Work of
the State Campaign Committee.
Notes of Rallies at the Different
Places.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4.—This has been a
big day for democracy under the direc
tion of the state campaign committee.
Every corner of the state has been liter
ally covered by champions preaching the
doctrines of the party. The city is full
of politicians to-night who are comparing
notes of the day’s work. At Gainesville
Gen. Evans and Hon. H. G. Turner spoke
to about 600 people. Gen. Evans began
speaking at 11 o’clock, and spoke for two
hours. He spoke at length on the tar
iff, declaring himself in favor of
sound money and against the free coinaga
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. His
speech was well received. At the close
of Gen. Evans’ speech, Hon. H. G. Tur
ner was enthusiastically introduced by
Col. H. H. Perry. Mr. Turner said the
tariff question is the great issue affecting
all. On the money question, he said re
peatedly: “I stand squarely on the dem
ocratic platforms of ’92 at Chicago and of
’94 in the state convention in Atlanta. ”
His speech was the ablest exposition of
the financial question ever delivered in
Gainesville and had a wonderful effect.
’Hon. Thomas G. Lawson spoke at
Monticello squarely upon the democratic
platform as adopted at Chicago.
At Buchanan, Judge Maddox spoke.
His speech is pronounced one of the best
ever delivered in that place. Among
other things, he said: “I am for the coin
age of gold and silver on a parity free of
mintage.”
Hon. Lewis F. Garrard and Capt. W.
A. Little of Columbus spoke at Hamilton
from 10:30 a. m to 2 p. m. on the issues of
the day. A large and enthusiastic crowd
attended. Both advocated all the princi
ples of the Chicago platform.
At Covington Capt. Pace introduced
Hon. A. H. Cox to a large audience. His
views of the money question and the argu
ment he made embraced the bi-metalist
doctrine according to the sound money
construction of the platform. He was
throughout iris speech thoroughly in ac
cord with the administration.
A big audience at Carrollton greeted
Hon. R. L. Berner and Hon. B. J. Con
yers to-day. Over 1,200 people were out.
Mr. Conyers advocated state banks issu
ing notes for an increase in the currency,
and stood on the Chicago and Georgia
platforms. Mr. Berner followed, making
a strong appeal for pure democracy,
which was received with enthusiasm.
At Fayetteville Hon. W. C. Glenn and
Hon. T. B. Cabaniss spoke to a crowd of
800 democrats. Both opposed silver un
less coined on a parity with gold. Presi
dent Cleveland’s name was loudly cheered
every time it was mentioned.
Hon. A. S. Clay addressed to-day one of
the largest audiences ever gathered at
the court house in Madison. He made a
speech of two hours, which was enthusi
astically received. He advocated bime
talism on a parity which he thought could
be maintained at the ratio of 16 to 1.
At Monroe Hon. Joe James and Hon.
Lucius Middlebrooks addressed the peo
ple. Mr. James advocated such coinage
as would give every dollar an equal pur
chasing power, and contended that the
ratio was immaterial. Mr. Middlebrooks
contended that the Georgia platform re
quired the free coinage of silver when
the proper time arrived for such coinage.
M. D. Irwin, populist, followed the demo
crats and advocated the free coinage at 16
to 1, the currency plank of his party.
A NOVELTY IN POLITICS.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 4.—One of the novel
ties in this year’s politics will be the can
didacy of Miss Ellen Dortch, editor of
the Milledgeville Chronicler, for the posi
tion of secretary of the executive depart
ment under the Atkinson administration.
Miss Dorth and Mrs. Atkinson are
staunch friends and it is said she stands
a good Chance of being the first woman
secretary in the executive department of
Georgia. She was also a warm advocate
of Mr. Atkinson in her newspaper.
WARREN’S DEMOCRACY AROUSED.
Warrenton, Ga., Sept. 4.—Hon. A. O.
Bacon addressed a large audience here
to-day, composed of democrats and popu- I
lists. The speech was one of his best and
received tbe commendation of all who
heard it. No stronger argument has been
made for democracy than the one so for ci- ;
bly presented by him to-day. The speech
will surely bear good fruit, and has
placed the party of Warren county under
obligations to the eloquent speaker. At
the conclusion of Maj. Bacon’s address
in beautiful words he introduced Hon. J. |

GLYNN COUNTY POPULISTS.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 4.—The populists
of Glynn, in response to a call, assembled
last night to elect an executive commit
tee. About eighty people all told were
present, and a committee of nearly twenty
was appointed, with Col. Frank H. Harris
permanent chairman and JohnT. Abrams
permanent secretary. After a heated dis
cussion, showing much division in
the minds of the populists on
the subject, a motion to in
dorse the democratic nominee for the
legislature Hon. W. A. Symons was de
feated. The meeting adjourned without
nominating any candidates for office and
it is not probable any candidates will be
nominated in the future. The majority
of the populists seeru to think Symons too
good a man to oppose, and while not in
dorsing him in meetings will no doubt
give him their votes.
BIG DAY IN DECATUR.
Bainbridge, Ga., Sept. 4.—To-day was
the time set for the grand democratic
rally here, and fully 700 people met Hon.
Dupont Guerry and Congressman Ben E.
Russell, who addressed them upon the
living issues Os the day. Judge D. A.
Russell in a few well chosen remarks in
troduced Congressman Russell, who, by
his eloquence, held the crowd spellbound
for mote than an hour and a half. At the
conclusion of his speech Col. Hawes,
in his eloquent style, introduced tbe Hon.
Dupont Guerry, who for more than two
hours, entertained the large and enthusi
astic crowd with his forcible and logical
democratic talk. It was considered one
of the ablest speeches ever delivered in
Bainbridge. Congressman Russell left on

A GALA DAY IN TROUP.
LaGrange, Ga.. Sept. 4.—To-day was a
gala day with the Democratic party in
Troup. Hons. J. H. Pittman and Sledge
Tatum, nominees for the legislature; S.
H. Gilbert of Muscogee, and Attorney
General Terrell addressed the largest and
most enthusiastic gathering of democrats
that has been seen in this court house for
many years. Owing to lack of time At
torney General Terrell did not touch on
the sliver or tariff questions. Hon. J. H.
Pittman interpreted both the Chicago
platforms to mean the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio
of 16 to 1. While Hon. S. H.
Gilbert insisted that the parity
should be maintained, but urged that
there be no divisions among dernocAts
because they all did not construe the cur
rency plank alike. Troup county can be
counted on to roll up the largest demo
cratic majority in its history.

SHOT IN THE HEAD
* Caston, Promoter of Negro Emigra
tion to Liberia, Wounded.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4.—Benjamin Gas
ton, the negro who has been leading a
movement for the emigration of his peo
ple to Africa for two years past, was at
tacked near Deveaux, in Hancock county,
last night and shot in the head. His
wound was not serious, but it served the
purpose of his assailants, Gaston having
shaken the dust of Hancock county from
his feet.
Gaston has been operating in Hancock
for three months. His plan was toorgan
ize his followers into societies, etch mem
ber paying so much monthly dues, which
goes toward getting his passage to Africa.
>' requent meetings of these societies are I
held. One of the results cf the
movement has been to demoralize
the working negroes. They became lazy
and would do nothing but attend
Gaston’s meetings, which were secret,
only members being allowed to be present.
The better class of colored citizens, as
well as some of the whites, became tired
of this, and last night a mixed party un
dertook to break up Gaston’s meeting.
They fired into the crowd, the fire being
returned. The wife of a negro named !
Jenkins, who was leading tbe attacking
party, was shot, among a half dozen oth
ers, but none killed.

Chinaman Tortured by His Own Peo
ple, Who Took Him for a Jaji.
London, Sept. 4.—A dispatch from
Shanghai to the Central. News says a
large number of Chinese recruits sire ar
riving at Tien-Tsin, where they are re
ceiving their arms and equipment. The
province of Shan-Tung is showing much
discontent and little or no sympathy with
the war against Japan, and is withhold
ing the men and supplies which have been
demanded of that section of the coun
try. The authorities of the province,,
speaking in the name of the inhabitants,
regard the war-like actions of Japan as
directed against the government and not
against the people of China. On the
contrary, the people of Manchuria are in
tensely anti-foreign and urge the most
active opposition to the Japanese. A man
was arrested at Ning-Po a day or two ago
as a Japanese spy and was tortured by
having his ankles broken. It has turned
out that the man was not a Japanese at
all, but a native of Southern China who
was on a pilgrimage to Foo Chow.
Two Japanese, who were arrested in
the Shanghai settlement as spies, were
surrendered yesterday to the native of
ficials by the American consul. The for
eign population of Shanghai are very in
dignant at this action. The Chinese au
thorities claim the right to arrest Japan
ese within the limits of the settlement.
The United States government has in
structed its consuls not to interfere in any
way in the difiiculties between China and
Japan.
Peculiar to Itself.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself,
in a strictly medicinal sense, in three im
. portant particulars/ viz: First, in the
combination of remedial agents used; sec
ond, in the proportion in which they are
mixed; third, in the process by whiph the
active curative properties of the prepara
tion are secured. These three important
points make Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiar
i in its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes
| cures hitherto unknown.
I But it is not what we say but what
Hood’s Sarsaparilla does that tells the
story. What Hood’s Sarsaparilla has
done for others is reason for confidence
that it is the medicine for you.—ad.

county, states that a negro was killed
there last night while resisting arrest by
