Does Alcohol Warm U» ?
A patient was arguing with his doctor
the necessity of his taking a stimulant,
lie said that lie was weak and needed it.
Said he:
“But, Doctor, I must have some kind
of a stimulant. I am cold, and it warms
me.”
“Precisely!” came the doctor's crusty
answer. “See here, this stick is cold,”
taking up a stick of wood from the box
beside the hearth, and tossing it into the
fire; “nowit is warm; but is the stick
benefited?” The sick man watched the
wood first send out a little smoke, and
then burst into flame, and replied: “Of
course not; it is burning itself!”
“So arc you, when you warm yourself
with alcohol; you are literally burning
up the delicate tissues of your stomach
and brain.”
Oh, yes! alcohol will warm you up, but
who finds the you take in
food, that is the fuel, and as it burns out
you keep warm. But when yoq take alco¬
hol to warm you, you arc like the man who
sets his house on firm and warms his
fingers by it as it burns.— Kansas City
Herald.

FIYE MEN BANGED^
A WHOLESALE LYNCHING IN
IORKVILLE, S. O.
A Mob Takes from the Jail Five Men Ac
eeaed of Mxrder and Hang then
all to Trees.
Most every body is more or less famil¬
iar with the story of the brutal murder
on the 80th of last November of little
Johnnie Lee Good, near Yorkville S. C ,
and the subsequent arrests made and con¬
fessions developed.
This most horrible murder had a fatal
termination on last Tuesday in the lynch¬
ing of five of the prisoners arrested as
of principals the lynching and accomplices, The story
is told fully in the fol¬
lowing fect special from Yorkville: In per¬
right, security YoMkville retired Monday
little expecting to awake up next
morning ling from and the find five dead bodies dang¬
limbs of trees, almost with¬
in the corporate limits. The men chose
for the time of their work the early
morning, and at half past four, the sher¬
iff, who is also jailer, was awakened by a
noise at the door. He rushed up to the
crowd in his night dress and on refusing
to surrender the keys, his visitors pro¬
ceeded to the third floor and commenced
on the same door that had partly yielded
to similar treatment only a few weeks
before.
The sheriff was powerless to offer re¬
sistance and endeavored to attract atten¬
tion to the jail by the rapid and succes¬
sive firing of his gun. This had the
effect to bring to the scene a few persons,
but by the time they arrived the lynch¬
ing the party had gained entrance, secured
wooden men door, they wanted and left. The
before alluded to, was
opened by cutting out the large plate
lock with an ax. The padlocks securing
the doors subsequently were broken, but
these were replaced by new* ones and the
cells were left comparatively safely
locked.
Five prisoners were wanted, it seems,
instead of six, as on one former occasion,
and those taken were Giles Good, Bailey
Dowdle, Prindley Thomson, Dan Rob¬
erts, and Mose Lipscomb. Their identity
was insured by means of a dark lantern,
with which the party was provided, As
far as can be known no resistance, or
even outcry, was made by any of the
doomed men. The spot selected for the
execution of the deed, was a knoll on the
road leading northwest from the jail and
ouly a short distance from the stone,
marking the first mile from the court¬
house.
The ropes used were ordinary cotton,
which appear to have been used as plow
line9. As soon as it w r as possible for the
sheriff to do so, he went to the spot of
the execution, taking with him two phy¬
sicians, but they arrived too late to ren¬
der any assistance to the five limb bodies
they found dangling from the trees, four
from one tree on the east side of the road
and the other from the limb of a stout
oak hard by on the opposite side. Life
was found to be extinct.
The sheriff caused the bodies to be cut
down immediately, and on blankets,
spread upon the ground, laid them side
by side under the branches of the tree on
which the four were hanged. Here tho
bodies remained until late in the after¬
noon, when they were removed for burial.
Prindley Thomson's relatives took
possession of his body, and the body of
Bailey Dowdle was taken. possession of
by his father. The other bodies were
buried at the expense of the county.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
The Vote* of Women Rejected at a Wis¬
consin Election.
Associated press dispatch from Mil¬
waukee, Wis, dated Tuesday, says: The
election to-day was for state associate
judge of the supreme court. Harlow T.
Ortou, democrat, was re-elected without
opposition. Milwaukee county voted on
judge of the circuit court and judge and of
the superior court. * The democrats
republicans placed a fusion ticket in the
field ogainst the labor party. At 10
o clock to-night twenty-five precincts 11.
have been heard from, giving D. H.
Johnspn, democrat, and George
Noyes, republican, fusion judicial candi¬
dates, 1,149 majority over the labor can¬ city
didates. The seventeen additional
precincts will probably neutralize this
majority, but seven towns of the county
will go strongly for the fusion candidates,
who are probably elected by 2,000 major¬
ity. The labor party will elect about
half the aldermen and about one-half the
supervisors. Both bodies will probably al¬
be democratic, as two-thirds of the
dermen hold over. In many cities of the
state, by preconcerted arrangement, ladies
in bodies went to the polls and offered to
vote, claiming to be entitled to do so by
an inference conveyed by the recent law
allowing women to vote in school affairs.
In Sturgeon Bay one hundred of them
voted, but elsewhere their ballots weie
refused. In Delavan, eighty prominent
ladies marched to the polls in the morn¬
ing in procession. A lively discussion
followed, speeches being made for and
against their right to vote. After con
S iderable excitement the board refused
to accept the votes of the ladies. The i
polls were blocked until after 12 o'clock
by ladies who persisted in offering their
votes. A test case will be made and
carried to the supreme court. Reports
from the interior cities are meagre. Co¬
lumbus, Delavan and Tomah have elected
republican mayors. In Depere a fusion
of republicans and democrats wo| over
the labor party. Kenosha elected a full
labor ticket.

THE TEXAS DROUTH.
■ ioh Dnmnge lo Crops nud Kullcrlii* niuouc
Live Stock.
Special telegrams to the Galveston
News, Houston Post and Fort Worth
Gazette during the past w eek, from near¬
ly every county in Texas, indicate the
prevalence of a serious drouth through¬
out the state, affecting in a large measure
its agricultural as well as its live stock
interests. The drouth may be said to be
a continuation of last year’s dry spell, us
no general rains have fallen throughout
the interior since last September, while
local showers have been few and inade¬
quate during the past six months. The
drouth now extends over the great cot¬
ton belt, jeopardizing the outlook for the
coming crop by retarding and preventing
planting, which is usually in full progress
at this season, but can scarcely be said to
have commenced, except in the coast
counties, owing to the extreme dryness
of the earth. Along the coast cotton is
up, and reports from several points speak
of some damage by the frosts of the past
few nights. Of the six great districts
comprising the cotton belt, the south¬
western, containing 23 counties, produc¬
ing 200,000 bales, is suffering worst, ac¬
cording to all accounts, and planting is
retarded nearly a month, with no present
indications of rain. This is the early
cotton district of Texas. Winter wheat
in central and north Texas is also suffer- 1
ing from want of rain, .howing poor i
growth. Similar reports are received re- i
garding oats. White spring wheat is de
layed. Corn in the bottom lands along I
the Brazos, Trinity and Colorado rivers ;
promises a fair average.

aud Waco, in central and southwestern
districts, are far more numerous than
from the Palestine district, and the rain- j
fall at these points inches, January while 1st, the averages 1

average rainfall for the same period each
year has heretofore been 12.40. The
great grazing areas of the west, south- i
west and northwest Texas are suffering
even worse than the agricultural sections,
as the drouth is nearly a year old in many
of these districts.
