A special from Spokane, Wash, says: Defiant to the death, Henry Trapy, fugitive convict and outlaw, blew out his brains Wednesday morn ing at 4 o’clock when he saw his cap ture was certain. The self-inflicted wound that caused instant death was not made until the desperate fighter knew beyond all doubt that he had played his last card In the most daring game of life In crlm. Inal history. After a terrible battle with rifles, in wjilch the odds were eight to one, Tra cy fell wounded. His ammunition waa gone, his energy spent and hope had fled. Tracy was surrounded in a wheat field near Fellowes, e station on the Washington Central railroad, about 60 miles west of Spokane, Tuesday night. Word was sent back to Davenport, the county aeat, -and a large number of armed men hurried to the scenet The posse opened fire on the outlaw, ,aqd one bullet pierced his right leg be tween the knee and thigh. About twen ty minutes after being wounded, ha shot himself with one of his revolvers and his body was found; flwrol: TO DISBAND GUARD Is Proposition Now Before Georgia Qovernor— Dissention in Ranks the Cause. News cornea from Atlanta, Oa., that It is probable that Governor Candler will be a£ked to disband the Gate City Guard at the request of a majority of the officers of the Fifth regiment. The grounds on which disbandment will be asked will be “for the good of the regiment,’’ and «. showing will be made to the governor and adjutant general to the effect that the company la an ineffectual military organiza tion; that certain irradlcal factions exist among the members, which make harmony Impossible, and that the best interests of the company would be subserved by disbanding It. This conclusion was reached at a se cret meeting of a number of well- known officers of the regiment held on Thursday night last, and the plan was further confirmed at a meeting held Friday morning. It is said that Governor Candler has been approach ed on the subject, and, after going over all the details, expressed the opinion that disbandment would, un der the circumstances, be the best thing for the regiment and all con cerned. Those present at the conferences of Thursday night and Friday morning were: Lieutenant Colonel Clifford An derson, Regimental Adjutant Burton Smith, Major W. W. Barker, Major Patton, of Rome; Major Thomas Par rott, and Captain B. W. Blzzell. Ev ery effort waa made to keep the sub ject matter of the conference secret, but In some way It leaked out and was the all-absorbing topic of conversation in military cities, y* ' ; . ; Nept-oriftii deg. , . „ „ . wJWT**r*Me<t tha ci §jjr; but ptu^ meaner* ff^ in expressing ^ ,nd seem to think that dment Is practically an assured at Oraston and!' a solo (perl#. r . : . ■ ... „ Jtffitt- ahare the reward. ia*:iollows: sub, deputy sheriff; Dr. D.

If I write that Neptune is six teen hundred millions of miles from the sun and It comesiout in print six teen millions it worries me. If I write that the doctor sewed up hare lips and L comes out hair lips, I don’t like it. The type didn’t know that a rabbit had a slit under its nose. If I write that I walked out ipto the garden to let my choler dowa. meaning my an ger, the typo thinks 1 meant my shirt collar, and so change’s the spelling to suit his own Idea. But since I rea'd an editor’s defense In a New York paper I feel better, for he says it Is amazing how few of these mistakes are made in the great dairies that have to be rushed through with lightning speed. The constant pressure on type setters and proof readers' Is tremendous, but they rarely make any serious blun ders, and the intelligent reader can generally correct them In his mind.

I have been sick, but now we are induced to the regular family of fi re and have but little to cook and ca n get along on two meals a day. My I wife'jjky&nged it for me to Are up the stovgWnd fill up the ket tles and grind the coffee and put on the hominy and then ring the bell for the girls to get up and finish up the breakfast. She said If I felt like it 1 ralgght sweet out the hall and the front veranda and settle up the front room. Well, of course, i had to split up some kindling and bring in the stove wood, but I am getting along fairly well and my wife thinks the exercise Is doing me good. Last night she hinted that the veranda was badly tracked up since the rain and needed a good washing. So this morulng I turned loose the hose pipe on it and she praised me a right smart and 1 brought her some roses from my gar den. We let her sleep until breakfast Is ready, for she cleans up her room and makes up two beds and then sews all day for the grandchildren. But I want that colored house party to break up as soon as possible, for I don’t hanker after this morning busi ness as a regular job. Mrs. Minims says she dikes It, and I think she does. She has a good room in the back yard and good furniture and a hand some lamp, to read by, and her little grandson lives with her, and I don’t know of any colored woman that has a better time. In fact, I know of lots of good negroes In town who are con tented with their situation and W.llt- continue so it they are let alone' by the northern fanatics and southern cranks.

The 6tory goes, according to Josephus, that the Egyp tians were at tvar with the Ethio pians and had suffered defeat in every battle until Pharaoh was advised that no one could command his army suc cessfully but Moses. So Moses was given command and he marched with the army to the borders of Ethiopia and met the enemy and defeated them and then marched, on to Saba, the roy al city, and attacked the walls, and Tharbls, the daughter of the king, saw Moses from the window of her tower, and he was so handsome that she fell desperately In love with him and sent a messenger to him to say that If he would marry her she would surrender the city and army to him. Moses agreed to this and their mar riage was at once consummated. Then Moses returned with his victorious army to Egypt. He did not take with him his Ethiopian wife, but not long after he married Zipporah, the daugh ter of Jethro, the Midlanite.

Ask Tribble and Brown who give their shop the most patronage. What ridic ulous folly to demand seats In our churches for the negroes. They have churches of their own that were built mainly by the charity of the white folks. They don't want seats In our churches. They have schools of their own that we support, and they have excursions and baseball and water melons and funerals and Daughter^ of Zion. Oh, for shame on Sledd! I pity his family and his kindred.
