FORTY INDICTMENTS
Found Against Rioters at Cath

Last December W. L. Bruce, republi
can, formerly of Ohio, a nephew of Judge
Bruce, of the United States court, was
run out of Cathrine, Wilcox county,
Alabama, where he was a prominent
merchant, on account of political trouble.
At the same time Bruce's store was
burned, and he was assaulted. A negro
postmaster was also intimidated, and
made to leave. Governor Jones offered
large rewards for the arrest of the guilty
parties, and several who were arrested
were released on preliminary hearings.
The governor then had a special grand
jury enipanneled, to investigate the case,
and on Friday they reported forty in
dictment*, many of which were against
prominent citizens. The state will ask
for a change of venue, so it is said. The
Cathrine affair has been universally con
demned.
What They Knew.
I
The ancient Gauls used a reaping ma
chine. Hobbs gave his nnme to a lock
found in the tomb of Egypt.
Coins were stamped with engraved dies
so far back that we have lost the record,
and movable tvpes are said to have been
known to the Romans.
In all that pertains to sculpture and
painting the ancients knew so much that
their superiority has never been ques
tioned, and their work remains as unsur
passed models.
We make some very fine razors at the
present day, but we cannot make any
finer steel than that contained in the
Damascus swords and knives which the
ancients used scvetal thousand yeurs ago.
In our schools at the present day we
use “Euclid’s Elements of Geometry,”
writ tn by Euclid 2,200 years ago. Eu
clid also wrote on music and optics, an
tedating much which we think we dis
covered.
Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes
was utilize i in China centuries ago, and
one of the Mongolian authors writes of
boxes which repeated the sound of voices
of men long since dead- an approxima
tion to the phonograph of Edison.
The people of Tyre were such experts
in dyeing that the Tyrian purple remains
unexcelled to this day. The Egyptians
were also wonderful dyers, and could
Eroduce colors so durable that they may
e called imperishable.
The ancients were wonderful glass
workers, and discovered a method of
making it malleable, which we have not
been able to do. Ttiey could spin glass
into garments, dye it in every shade of
the rainbow and etch it with marvelous
skill.

vealed another child, an infant, lying
dead on the bed. Blue finger marks on

Postal Figures.
The postal appropriation bill, recently
