FOUND A MOUNTAIN OF GOLD.
A Village of Blacks Slaughtered by Wealth-
Crazed Australians,
An astonishing and almost incredible
story of tragedy comes by mail from the
gold fields of Australia. Several ring
leaders in the horrible crime ace under
arrest,
Fabulous finds have lately been re
ported from Ninety-Mile Point, nuggets
of fifty and 190 ounces of pure guld being
picked up on the surface of the ground.
These stories made men mad with lust
for gain, and prospectors in the race for
wealth pushed on for hundreds of miles
in the wilderness, far beyond where
white men had never been. They had
scarcely enough food and water to keep
them alive. They were brought back,
raging with fever and placed in the Cool
gardie hospita!, already overcrowded
with dying miners,
The fate of these desperate men did
not deter eight new arrivals from form
-Ing a syndicate to push on. With heavy
packs of provisions, water and rifles,
they started from Ninety-Mile Point, the
extreme limit of Coolgardie, to prospect
in the interior. They started Dec. 1,
and, as nothing had been heard of them,
it was supposed they had met death.
On Jan. 21, however, Dan Robertson,
one of the syndicate, returned from his’
camp, 120 miles from Coolgardie, and
reported that the party found a mountain
of gold. Itisa solid hill of quartz 70
feet high, 250 feet wide at the base and
15 at the summit, ful® of gold.
After discovering the mountain the
party, returning to the camp, found that
a band of blacks had stolen all of the_iri
provisions. The syndicate pursued the
blacks to their village and butchered thei
entire encampment, shooting the men
and braining the women and children.
The other murderers have been arrested.
DANCING IN CHURCH.
Rev.J. W. Petrie Approves of It and Had
a Stage Built.
There is trouble in the Episcopal
church of Our Savior on Fullerton
avenue, Chicago. The Rev. J. Petrie,
rector for twenty-five years, allows danc
ing in the church, and under the chan
cel are regular stage dressing rooms.
The stage was built under his personal
supervision.
“Of course, there was opposition to
scenery and real footlights,” said Dr.
Petrie, ““but I just told the young people
to come and enjoy themselves. (Notonly
that, but I allow them to hold dances
here, and I remain all the evening until
the last couple goes home. Some of my
people came to me and declared that
there should be no dancing. I told them
that as long as they allowed dancing in
their homes I would permit it in the
church. Some of them g t angry and
left the church, but T could not help
that.”’
He Tickled the Mule.
A boy apparently much agitated, says
the Philadelphia Press, rushed into a
house recently and said:
“J] don’t want to alarm yer, but I've
got big news. The man sent me up from
the livergp stable to tell yer—'
“Good heavens! What is the matter?”’
“Why, yer know yer little boy, Aleck,
what the man can’t keep outer the live
ry stable *round the coraer?”’
“Yes; well?”
“I told Aleck just now not to go iuter
the stable among the horses, but he
wouldn’t mind me.”’
“Qh, dear! What has happened?”’
“He said he wanted to see what a mule
would do if he tizkled his heels with a
straw.”’
“Oh, heavens!"’ gasped the lady, as she
clung to the martelpiese for support,
““Well marm, your boy, Aleck, got a
straw, snuck up behind a sorrel mule,
tickled his heels, an’—"
The lady started for the door.
“An’ the blamed critter never lifted a
hoof,”” said the boy.
«“Never as much as switched his tail.
It’s a mighty good thing for your boy
that he didn’t, too, or he'd hev been
sent ter kingdom come.” And he dodg

’ WONDERFUL ECONOMY.
'How Soine People Think They Cut Down
; Expenses.
~ We heard a gentleman remark the
other day that when hard times struck
the average citizen the first thing he did
was to stop his paper; the n:xt (to take
his children from school, and the next
to quit paving the preacher, and thus
imagine that he was practicing economy ;
anq the gentleman told the truth. Great
economy, isn't it? Kill off the preacher,
the teacher and the newspaper—the three
great factors in the intellectual and
moral community, and then imagine
that such was economy! Kill off the
preacher and let your children grow up 1
moral savages; kill off the teacher and
raise your offsprings tojbe hewers of ;
wood and drawers of water for the chil- |
dren of those who have got more sense; |
kill off your newspaper aad see your }
town go down, business grow stagnant, \
and those children whom you have de-}
creed to be intellectualand moral dwarfs i
loif around for want of employment.
This is wonderiul economy.—Albany

HANSON SUES BACON,
A Sensational Action Begun in Macon. Out
come of an Old Feud.
MaAcon, GaA., March 27. A sensation
al suit was tiled in the superior court
here this afternoon by Major J. F. Han
son against United States Senator Bacon
to collect $14,000. The suit grows out of
the signing of the bond of J. S. McTighe
& Co., in the famous Georgia Southern
litigation.
Hanson claims that Bacon used per
sonal friendship to induce him to sign
the bond, and at the same time insured
him against risk, agreeing to be person
sonally responsible to Hanson.
Hanson had to pay out $14,000, his
portion of the bond, and Bacon refused
to protect kim.
Bitter feeling has existed for the past
three years, and this is the climax.
Bounty for Baby Raising.
Governor Morrill, of Kansas, has re
ceived a letter from a woman who signs
herself as Mrs. Louisa Kecshuer and who
dates her epistle from Kong, Coffey,
county, Kansas. The governor has re
ceived communications from almost
%every variety of cranks, but the Coffey
county woman strikes an altogether new
t and original lead by demanding a boun
ty for baby raising. Her letter is as
follows:
“To the Governor of the United
States: I herepby inform you that I am
\ eatitled to $l,OOO for the raising of thir
teen children. lam a lone woman. My
‘husband has consumption and I have to
make my living by washing. We want
‘ you tosend it tous. lam 1n need of
something_for my family.”
It May Do as. Much for You.
Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111., writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his
back and also that his bladder was af
fected. He tried many so-called kidney
cures but without any good result.
About a year ago he began the use ot
Electric Bitters and found reliefjat once.
Electric Bitters is especially adapted to
cure all kidney and liver troubles, and
often gives aimost instant relief. One
trial will prove our statement, Price

; A Dastardly Attempt.
From the Ozark Banner.
A dastardly attempt was made to
wreck the Central train at the trestle
where the Alabama Midland road cross
es the Central road, just above Ozark, on
Wednesnay moraing. Two green poles,
near each end of the trestle, were placed
on the track in such a position that
either would have caused a fatal wreck.
Mr. Charlie Stephenson, our informant,
and Mr. Crawford, of Dothan, who hap
pened to pass, saw the poles and re
moved them But for this, a fatal wreck
might have occurred.
The Value of Coins,
The value of gold coin is in its
weight; the value of silver coin is the
government stamp on it. The vyalue of
Simmons Liver Regulator is the relief it
gives from Biliousness and Sick Head
ache. A 25-cent package of powder has
permanently cured many a one. ‘
