WORK ALMOST FINISHED.
Dawes Inrtfftt* Commission Will Complete
Its Labors b3* Next December.
Washington’, Aug. 5. — The Dawes
Indian commission is steadily at work
in the Indian Territory and is expected
to complete its labors by Decembe .
The Indians are still filing applications
for membership in the tribes and have
until Sept. 10 for doing this. Geueral
I rank C. Armstrong, ex-assistant com
missioner of Indiau affairs, and a mem
ber of the commission, is in Washing
ton for a few days. He says the pros
pects for an early and satisfactory con
clusion of the negotiations with the Iu*
dians for a reorganization of their gov
ernment, through divisions of their
lands in severalty and other measures,
was never more favorable than now.
The Indians, he says, are beginning
to understand to some extent that it is
co-their interest to allow the reforma
tory measures to be carried out and
many of those who will not concede
this realize that congress iutends to take
prompt action if the commission is not
successful iu closing the long pending
matter. Tiie Indians believe they will
fare better at the hands of the commis
sion than by acts of. congress. With
this growing sentimeur, General Arm
strong expresses the belief that at the
coming sessions of the tribal chiefs
some definite steps will be taken.
The Indian officers, however, regard
this view as too sanguine. They say
that the Indians caunot l e convinced
that a change will better their condi
tion, and that those who are working iu
the red men’s interests for an agree
ment, regard it as likely that nothing
will be done until congress acts. Mean
while the commissioners are weeding
out from the mass of applicants for a
share of tribal rights, those not entitled
to them. The courts, however, have
superior jurisdiction, and in many cases
appeals will probably be taken to them
from adverse rulings of the commission.
Many of these cases can doubtless be
passed upon within a couple of months,
and the report of the commission, if
unsuccessful iu its chief aim, making
strong recommendations for immediate
action by congress, will be re ady to be
submitted at the opening of the session
of that body.

Prof. Audree’s Balloon Has Been Filled
ami Is Read}’ For Its Northern Flight.
Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 5.—News
has been received from Spitzbergen that
Professor S. A. Andree’s balloon has
been filled, aud was ready to start on
July 27.
The Virgo, with Professsor Audree,
his two companions and his apparat s
on board, sailed from Tromsoe, June 15.
Since June 22, the expedition has been
established in Pike’s House, in the north
ern half of West Spitzbergen. opposite
Dane’s island. The stores and equip
ment had already been disembarked,
aud the position was considered very
favorable.
As the explorer had planned that his
preparations would all becompleted and
his balloon filled by the first week iu
July, it seems probable.that some unex
pected obstacle has been met with in
completing the preparations. It was,
however, a part of the plan to wait for
favorable conditions—that is, a clear
day, when brisk south or nearly south
winds were blowing.

Tiie Ringleaders Arrested.
Charleston, Aug. 5.—There was a
riot at a negro picnic held at Mount

Stjs There Are Very Few People In the
South Who Would Vote a Gold Demo
cratic Ticket — Declares Free Coinage
Will Not Prove Disastrous—The Senator
Will Take the Stump.
Baltimore, Aug. 5.—Senator John B.
Gordon of Georgia, whose name has
been mentioned for the vice presidency
on a gold Democratic ticket, says that
he would not accept a nomination for
any political position. While remain
ing a sound money man, he will support
the nominee o? the Chicago convention.
Senator Gordon is opposed to another
ticket being placed in the field by the
Democratic party. In explaining his
position he said:
‘‘The political situation in Georgia,
while similar to that in other southern
states, is not thorougly appreciated iu
the north. The Democracy of Georgia
is always threatened with the accession
to power of an undesirable element.
This is made up of a radical agrarian
element, holding to very unusual views
on financial and other questions. With
the assistance of the negro vote this ele
ment might at any time secure control
of the state.
“To keep this element, a most dan
gerous one, in the background, the
Democrats find it necessary to stand to
gether. There are hosts of sound money
Democrats in Georgia who, before the
Chicago convention, talked as if they
would not support any' silver nominee,
but now most of these, recognizing the
alternative, are, one by one, deciding
to vote the ticket. Republican rule, iu
my state, would he a calamity, aud the
rule of the element I Awe mentioned
would be as bad. I de£m i*t my duty,
under the circumstances, to vote for the
nominees of my party. I have beeu
asked to take the stump iu Georgia for
Bryan and Sewall, and I may make a
few speeches in their behalf.”
Another Ticket Not Desirable.
“Why do yon not consider a second
Democratic ticket desirable?” was asked.
“Because I do not think it could mus
ter material strength. Iu our section of
the country there are few, very few,
who I think would support such a ticket.
There is little disaffection from the Dem
ocratic ranks owing to the silver plat
form, this being largely due to the
causes which I have mentioned. Those
who say they will vote for McKinley
rather than for Bryan would likely vote
for McKinley if a gold Democrat wore
nominated, as they would believe that
McKinley would have the better chance
for electi n. ”
Senator Gordon added that after 30
years of public life he was growiug
tired of it. He said that he must iu the
future give up more time to his own
affairs, which politics in a measure com
pelled him to neglect. He continued:
“No oue has consulted me about ac
cepting this rumored nomination for tiie
vice presidency. All I know about it is
what I have seen iu the newspapers. I
do not even know who is at the head of
this gold Democratic movement, though
I have seen the names of Palmer of Illi
nois and Yilas of W sconsiu mentioned
iu connection with it.
“Shall I be a candidate for re-election
to the senate when my term expires?
No. I have already beeu approached by
a number of political friends in regard
to this, but I have already declined to
allow my name to be used. When I say
that I am going to get out of politics I
mean what I say.”
Wants tiie Question Settled.
Regarding the pending financial issue,
Senator Gordon said that he favored the
gold standard, “though, after all,” he
continued, “the free coinage of silver
may not prove disastrous as we gold-
bugs now believe it will be. I believe
in having these great questions settled
once and forever, just as the great sla
very question was, and we might as
well get the silver matter out of the
way. If it be tried and does not plunge
the country into a panic, the gold stand
ard men will S€e that they were not
altogether right in their reasoning, and
if it be tried aud proves a failure the
silver men will see the error of their
ways.
“I know Bryan intimately and I con
sider him a well balanced, honest, up
right man. In spite of his radical cur
rency views, I do not believe, if elected,
he would allow the ultra silverites in
his party to control his actions. He is
a man who would feel profoundly im
pressed by the sense of his responsibility,
aud he would, I think, be much more
conservative than he is widely con
sidered.”
General Gordon expressed surprise at
the acquisition to the ranks of Bryan’s
followers since the Chicago convention,
whether they result from conversions to
the silver idea or not, and he said that
he believed that “the boy orator of the
Platte” will be elected.
POPULISTS CRY “FRAUD.
Claim That Captain Gooiiwyn Was Elected j
Governor of Alabama.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 5.—Frank
Baltzell, secretary of the Populist-Re
publican campaign committee, has is
sued the following statement:
The election last Monday was character
ized by frauds more widespread thau in
any previous elections. -In Montgomery,
at the courthouse poll, an illiterate sus
pected his ticket was wrongly marked,
showed it to a friend to decide and the
fact was developed that a Goodwyn ticket
had been marked for Johnston. The il
literate was arrested and jailed for show
ing the ticket, and the marker, who was
guilty of the crime, was rftt interrupted.
The black belt counties will send up the
usual majority, which means that what
ever majority may be needed >m these
counti s will be sent up nexT.Saturday,
when the vote shall be canvassed. The
Populists are very much exasperated o:i
account of the wrongs practiced upon them
aud will not support Bryan in the Novem
ber election. They will put out an electoral
ticket for Bryan and Watson and the Dem
ocrats can take down their ticket, vote
their ticket or see 100.000 votes practically
lost. If this shall not be done t^e Popu
lists will refuse to vote, and the silver
Democrats will work out their destiny
and repent of their meanness. Self re
spect, manhood aud civil liberty are dearer
to some people than silver or any other
political issue. Hon. A. T. Goodwyn made
a brilliant and effective campaign, visit
ing nearly every county and speaking to
the largest audiences ever accorded a
speaker in this state. He has beeu elected
by from 16,000 to 18,000 majority in the
white counties and received about 40,000
votes in the black belt, but there are 40,-
000 Votes counted for Johnston, giving
him a majority of about 25,000.

The Steamer Seminole Had a Narrow Fs-
cape—Several Women Fainted*
Jacksonville, Fla , Aug. 5.—The
steamer Seminole of the Clyde line ar
rived here from New York with great
dents in the plates on each side and with
some of the delicate machinery in the
engine room disarranged. The damage
to the vessel was the re;ult of an en
counter with monster whales
Soon after passing Sandy Hook Purser
R. E. Morton says the steamer ran into
a school of whales. Soon six of the mon
sters appeared almost under the ship’s
bow aud she crashed into oue of them.
Theimpact apparently broke the whale’s
back aud it began to spoilt blood. Then
the officers aud passengers witnessed a
remarkable sight.
The whales drew off a short distance
and dashed madly against the vessel,
causing her to tremble from stem to
stern. The whales repeated this per
formance four times aud at each collis
ion the Seminole quivered as if about to
go to the bottom.
Mauy of the passengers were hurled
to the deck and bruised. Several of the
women fainted. So terrible was the
shock that some of the furniture iu the
saloon was broken from its fastenings.
The whales were badly injured by the
collision aud after the fourth rush drew
away spouting blood. They tried to
come again, but moved slowly because
of their injuries and the vessel soon dis
tanced them. It was feared the Semi
nole was badly damaged, but examina
tion showed only the superficial injuries
mentioned.
The passengers say the whales were
ncqrly 100 feet in length.

John T. Bushin Shoots Colonel James F.
Lilly—A Dozeu Women Faint.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 3.—Johu T.
Rushiu, a prominent man of this sec
tion, shot and killed Colonel James F.
Lilly and then cut his victim’s throat.
The tragedy occurred at Metcalfe, teii
miles below here, during services at the
Baptist church. As soon as he was sure
that he had completed his work, Rusliin
swallowed 4 ounces of laudanum and
rushed from the church with the men
of the congregation in pursuit. Iu the
fearful panic that followed the firing of
the first shot, a dozen women fainted
and were badly hurt by the others try
ing to make a hasty exit from the build
ing.
The afternoon session of Sunday-
school had just begun. Colonel Lilly
was instructing one of the classes,
while near him the minister had charge
of another. Kushin entered the little
building and stood for several minutes
watching Colonel Lilly, who did not
know that Rushiu was about. There
had been no threats made by either of
the men. Suddenly Rushiu seemed to
go wild with rage. He threw his hat to
the floor and pulled out a pistol. The
minister threw up his hands iu warning,
crying out: “For God’s sake, man, do
not shoot!”
The panic was instantaneous. Imme
diately Rushiu fired on Colonel Lilly,
who turned, being unarmed, and ran
from the building. As Colonel Lilly
ran, Rushiu continued firing. Three
bullets entered the body of the fleeing
man, aud he fell on the outside of the
building fatally shot. Rushiu paused
for a moment, kicking Colonel Lilly’s
body aud cursing. Two men attempted
to approach him, hut lie ordered them
back at the point of his pistol, aud draw
ing a razor almost completely severed
his victim’s head from his body.
Slipping the razor back into his pocket
he continued to hold his pursuers off,
and drank from a bottle four ounces of
laudanum. Ho was so thoroughly nau
seated that he was uuable to retain the
poisou on his stomach. From his ac
tions it was plain that he was either
deliriously drunk or crazy. He ran from
the crowd and weut to his home, half a
mile away, and barricaded himself in.
In his room he has a shotgun, two pis
tols aud a razor. Every effort has beeu
made to induce him to come out, but he
has persistently refused, declaring that
he will kill himself first.
The county physician says the man is
undoubtedly crazy. Rnshin owed Lilly
money, and it is supposed that worry
over it caused his mind to become un
balanced.
Murderer Rushiu Arrested.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 4.—J. T.
Rushiu, the man who killed J. F. Lilly
at Metcalfe, is now in jail iu this city.

His arrest was effected without trouble.
He went to sleep from the effects of the
laudanum taken in the effort to kill
himself. He talks freely about the trag
edy and says the only thing he regrets
is that he failed to kill himself. Ac
cording to his own statement, he had
been planning this murder for two years,
but could uever screw up his courage to
the poiut before Sunday. His friends
claim that his mind is unbalanced, due
to worry over a note he owed Lilly.

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine for
any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed when the languid ex
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic aud alterative is
felt. A prompt use of this medi
cine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in
ounteracting and freeing the sys
tem from the malarial poison.
Headache, Indigestion, Constipa-
Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

A Chance to Make Money.
I have berries, grapes and peaches
a year old, fresh as when picked.
I use the California Cold process
do not heat or seal the fruit, just
put it up cold, keeps perfectly fjesh,
and costs almost nothing; can put
up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I sold directions to over 120
families; anyone will pay a dollar
for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples ot fruit. As there
are many people poor like myself,
l consider it my duty to give my
experience to such, and feel confi
dent anyone can make one or two
hundred dollars round home in a
few days. I will mail sample of
fruit and complete directions, to
any of yonr readers, for eighteen
two-cent stamps, which is only the
actual cost of the samples, postage,
etc., to me. Francis Casey,

If the Exchange Hat, Not Closet! It Might
Have Resulted In the Ruination of Doz
ens of Business Houses anti Bnnks—A
Committee Appointed to Arrange a Set
tlement of Moore Brothers’ Affairs.
Chicago, Aug. 5.—The Chicago Stock
Exchange is still closed and will remain
closed until the Moore Bros, failure has
been settled. The action of the govern
ing committee in closing the doors of
the exchange, is said, by certain finan
ciers, who are in a position to know, to
have averted a panic. “There is no tell
ing where it would have ended, ” <baid a
member of the. Stock Exchange. “It
might have resulted iu the ruination of
dozens of business houses and banks.”
President M. M. Jamison of the Stock
Exchange, in fulfillment of the resolu
tions adopted by the governing commit
tee, appointed the following gentlemen
to act with him as a committee to con
fer with the banks for the purpose of
arranging a settlement of the affairs, of
the Moore Bros.: P. A. Valentine of
Armour & Company, A. M. Day of
Councilman & Day and C. C. Yoe of
Brewster & Company. The Mooro
Bros, are preparing a statement of their
affairs of the Diamond Match and the
New York Biscuit companies.
The Stock Exchange will be kept
closed until all the facts are known and .
until a syndicate is formed to arrange a
deal at some price to be settled upon,
after all the information is furnished by
the Moores, particularly as to the stand
ing of the companies.
The Moore Bros, claim that the com
panies are not at all involved. J. H.
Moore said:
“Our troubles began Saturday. Sun
day it looked blue. On Monday morn
ing I had a promise from my brother in
the east. Monday afternoon the money
gave out.”
The Stock Exchange brokers have in
formed their clients that under the rules
they do not guarantee trades, aud that,
consequently, short sellers mn.it, for
their profits, depend upon the policy of
the concerns to whom the sales were
made. Consequently the shorts in Dia
mond Match aud New Y rk Biscuit do
not know whether they will get their
immense profit aud they will not know
until the Stock Exchange is reopened.
The friends of the Diamond Match com
pany claim that President Barber stands
entirely aloof from the Moore failure;
that he was in no wise interested in the
speculative deal. Mr. Moore is author
ity for the statement that had not C. T.
Yerkes come into the market as a bor
rower (to the extent of nearly §1,000,-
000) the collapse would have beeu
averted. Many banks threw out tho
Moore securities and substituted those of
the North Chicago and West Chicago
Street railway values. One house, known
to be short of Diamond Match and New
York Biscuit, is bidding 170 for the for
mer and 75 for the latter. There is an
unverified report that the Armour crowd
will take all of the Moore holdings at a
certain figure and terminate the deal as
proposed by the Monroe street lawyers.
President Barber of the Diamond
Match company has seut the following
cablegram from Paris to Mooi'e Bros:
Our presence here quite necessary. I
can do no good if there. I have some im
portant trades here. Government denies
statements made by Gould's agents.

Christian Deputies Leave Canea.
New York, Aug. 5.—A dispatch to

have left here. Their action is severely
criticized. It is considered that they
should have awaited the reply of the

Vanderbilt's Condition Not So Favorable.
Newport, R. L, Ang. 5.—The condi

from his yacht to visit him ac a result of
the unfavorable turn.
Spoons Free to All.
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A,
St Louis, Mo., would give an ele-
gant-piated hook spoon to anyone
sending her ten 2-cent stamps. I
sent for one and found it so useful
that I showed it to my friends, and
made $13 in two hours, taking or
ders for the spoon. The hook spoon
is a household necessity. It cannot
slip into the dish or cooking vessel,
being held in place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is something
housekeepers have needed ever
since spoons were first Invented.
Any one can get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss
Fritz. This is a splendid way to
make money around home.

Beetles Injuring Grape Vines.
Question.—I send some bluish col
ored beetles that are injuring the buds
and leaves of my grape viues. Will you
tell me their name and give a remedy ?
Answer.—The bluish colored* bugs
are known as the grape vine ilea beetle.
They do their greatest damage by bor*
ing into the buds, upon their swelling
in the spring, though they continue
feeding on the leaves afterwards. The
females lay on the under side of the
leaves clusters of yellow eggs, which in
a few days hatch out small dasla colored
larvae. These at once begin to devour
the foliage, and when iu large numbers
soon leave only the ribbed skeletons of
the leaves. When fully grown (which
takes about four weeks) they leave the
vine, enter the grouud, form earthen
cocoons and change to yellowish pupae.
In about three weeks these are trans
formed into the perfect beetle, which
again attack the leaves and lay eggs for
another brood of larvae. The best rem
edy is spraying with Paris green (one
ounce to 20 gallons of water.) They
can also be destroyed with pyrethrum
or insect powder. The beetles are quite
sluggish on cool mornings, and may
then be collected on sheets by jarring
the vines. The cheapest and best rem
edy though, is the Paris green.—State
