The house was set on fire and the negroes left, thinking that they had covered their inhuman deed from the sight of the world. The fire had not attracted much attention. But when Daniels and his people did not show up, the ruins of the house were searched and tho charred remains w*ere found. Search for (ho IWtmlorerB. The local officers were assisted by the best citizens of the neighborhood in the search for the perpetrators of tho crime. The bloodhounds from Steele’s plantation were secured and they were not long in finding tho right track. Before night they went straight into the place where the Thomas boys re¬ sided, and one by one they were se¬ cured. Fayette Rhone, twenty-one years old; Will Gates, thirty-five years old; Louis Thomas, twenty years old; Aaron Thomas, thirteen years old; Jim Thomas, fourteen years old, and Benny Thomas, fifteen years old, were placed under arrest. The last four are broth¬ ers. Later on William Williams was captured. The bloodhounds worked splendidly, and after tbe boys were confronted with the evidence, they confessed to committing the crime and laid tho killing to Louis, the eldest. All Mob Appears. seven of the prisoners were un¬ der guard and Thursday night about 12 o’clock the guards were overpower¬ ed by a strong body of men and tiie prisoners taken toward the Brazos bot¬ tom, north of Sunnyside. A little later forty or fifty shots were fired and then all was quiet. Friday morning, dang¬ ling from the limbs of a large tree, were found the bodies of six negroes, limp and lifeless. Hundreds of negroes from all over the country viewed the ghastly sight. Williams was not to be found, but the shots probably explain his absence. As far as can be learned, the molt was composed of both white and black men, with tho colored element largely predominating. AN OPPORTUNE APPOINTMENT. l'nlmeroln Will lie Able to Establish Be- forms Proposed for Cuba. The newspapers of Havana approve of the appointment of the Marquis Palineralo as governor of tho western region as being made at an opportune moment, enabling him to carry out the work of establishing the reforms pro¬ posed for Cuba.

MUST SERYE SENTENCE. ‘■resident Will Not Pardon Dunlop, Pub- Usher of Chicago Dispatch. President McKinley has decided not to interfere in the case of Joseph Dunlop, proprietor of The Chicago Dispatch, who was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment for sending ob- scene matter through the mails. A strong effort was made to secure his pardon on the ground that his life would he placed in jeopardy by his im- prisonment, but the president decided that Dunlop must serve out his term. Attorney General McKenna, in his report on the case to the president, said that the only ground for executive clemency w as the condition of Dun- lovt’s health. FIVE BODIES FOUND.

Five bodies wore recovered Friday from the debris loft by Wednesday’s disaster in West Guthrie, Okie., being those of George Owens, Airs. Charles Ruffin, Henry Simmons and Mrs. Wat¬ son and child. it is believed that the rushing wa- tors of the Cimmaron river conceals many bodies. Over 1,500 homeless persons are being cared for by the eity. HAIL KILLS FORTY PEOPLE. Stones of Ice "Weighing; Three Pounds Re¬ ported in Mexico. A special dispatch from Sail Luis, Potosi, Mexico, to the St. Louis Globe Democrat, says: The llio Verde valley in this state has been visited by a terrific hail¬ storm, which not only ruined the growing crops, but caused great loss of life. Reports have been received here of the killing of forty-oue persons by hailstones. On one hacienda alone twelve farm hands were killed. Some of the stones weighed three pounds. HIGHWAYMAN RIDDLED. Second Attempt at Hold-Up In the Town of Hardaway. A pitched battle, supplemented by running fight, in which winchesters, shotguns and revolvers were used, small curred Friday night at Hardaway, town near Albany, Ga. It was the second attempt to porter in the store. Three desperate negroes, armed to the teeth, composed one wing of fight, while a half dozen law-abiding citizens constituted the force to which the negroes were opposed. hour, Friday night just about the same 9 o’clock, the same three ne¬ groes entered the same store. The same parly of white men were in the store, but this time they were all armed. The negroes made the same demand, but the response was quite different from what it was on the first occasion. Instantly the guns were brought in¬ to play. The would-be-robbers were as quick on the trigger as the white men and every time a gun sent a load at them one of their guns sent a load back at the white men. Over twenty shots had been ex¬ changed before any one was hit. One of the negroes finally gave a yell and dropped over. This caused the other two to start for safety with bullets whistling after them. When the negroes entered the store Mr. Putney was at his home near by, with W. F. Gay, a tobacco drummer. heard They were at the supper table and tho shooting. They both armed themselves and started for tho store on a run and on the way encountered the fleeing negroes. It was then that a fight, at first hand to hand almost, ensued and then the running battle came. Both Mr. Putney and Mr. Gay es¬ caped both harm, but the impression of men is that one of the negroes was badly wounded. The negro who was shot down in tho store was found to have eighteen bul¬ lets in his body and was stone dead when the smoke cleared away. Ho is thought to be Charles Dehem. He had in his pocket a knife he bought from Forrester on tho night of the first hold-up. POPULISTS BANQUET. Du tier Goes to Itostpn and Makes a King¬ ing: Speech. The annual banquet of the peoplo’s party of Massachusetts, held at Bos¬ ton Friday night, was attended by nearly 160 persons. George W. Washburn, chairman of the populist state committee, presided, and United States Senator Marion But ler, of North Carolina, made the prin¬ cipal address of the evening. After re¬ viewing tho political situation and showing how the great fundamental principles of the populist party are gaining ground with all classes and Conditions of producers and consum¬ ers, he said: “The 9,000,000 laborers who aro at work In tho cotton fields of the south and the wheat fields ot the west must bo protected against foreign pauper labor, just the same as the 4,000,000 laborers who are employed in man¬ ufacturing. This must be done, or you will have no customers for your goods. “\Yo need a true American syBtem for all American labor and American industry Neither tho democratic nor tho republican parties have offered us this. They both offer remedies that aro contradictory. The gold standard and freo trade go logically together, hand in hand. “The farmers and manufacturers of this country should join hands on at least two great economic questions. They should stand solidly for an American system of finance, and for a just and equitable system that will protect all American industry and American labor. This is the position of tho people’s party; it is the only logically and true American position.” GREEKS WIN A BATTLE. Volo Reported to Have Surrendered to Turks. A dispatch to The London Times from Larissa says: “Volo surrendered last evening to a force of Turkish cavalry.” A telegram just received at Athens says that a great battle has been fought at Velestino between a Turkish force of 8,000 and General Smoleuski’s brigade. The dispatch states that the Turks Smolenski wore repulsed with enormous losses. lias asked the crown prince to congratulate the TAX ON SPIRITS May Probably bt Kcduced In Order liaise Revenue. A Washington dispatch says: It very probable that the secretary the treasury will soon recommend congress a material reduction of internal revenue tax on distilled and au increase iu the tax on beer. This action will be taken on ground that present tax of $1.10 per lon is above the revenue point. Some days ago Senator Cullom troduced a resolution, which was ed, calling upon the secretary for views on the subject, and tho commis¬ sioner of internal revenue has now in preparation n report to the secretary covering the facts involved.

Ex-Vice President Adlai Stevenson visited tho state of Georgia the past week, having come to examiue the gold fields in the northern part of the state. Mr. Stevenson and a number of cap¬ italists inspected tho properties owned by the Appalachian Gold Mining Com¬ pany at Dahlouega. There were in the party in addition to Mr. Steveusou, Lewis G. Stevenson and M. L. Graham, of Bloomington, Ill.; William Duncan, M. J. Williams aud H. E. Kirkpatrick, of Nashville. MORE LEVEES BREAK AND DROWN- INGS RESULT. FLOOD SITUATION IS VERY GRAVE. j , Farmers Camping On the Hills—Death and Destitution Being Caused by the Raging Waters. A St. Louis special of Tuesday states that the flood situation throughout the neighboring Mississippi and Missouri river territory is one of gravest dan¬ ger. At several points the swollen streams have overlapped their banks and burst through the levees. Already several lives have been lost and many people rising are imperiled by the rapidly waters. Thousands of acres of farm lands on both the Illinois and Missouri sides of the Mississippi river have been inun¬ dated, or will be soon. Stock has been drowned and crops destroyed. Accord¬ ing to the weather bureau, both rivers will continue to rise. While Joseph Johnson, William Dalton, Minnie Frazier, Mrs. Ida Bugg and her two small children were attempting to ford a swollen stream in a wagon at Jackson, Mo., the vehicle was overturned and the women and children were drowned. Tho Hunt levee, which protected the Hunt drainage district on the Illinois side below Warsaw, broke during the day, sending the Mississ¬ ippi river over one of the most fertile regions in the valley. The wildest excitement prevails, for fully 80,000 acres of land and hundreds of homes will be under water as a result. The lowest part of the district is just below the bluff, seven miles back of the levee, and the water is making straight for the hills. A territory thirteen miles long by seven miles wide will be covered with water. Couriers were sent on horse¬ back to the houses back in the district and a scene of disorder and fright ev¬ erywhere prevailed. Some were un¬ able to save anything and barely es¬ caped with their lives. It is feared that some have been caught and sur¬ rounded by the flood. The levee was covered nil day Tues¬ day by the farmers and their wives, hurrying their children and their live stock to places of safety. Many are now camped out on the hills with ab¬ solutely nothing left. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. New Industries Established in tho South During the Past Week. Southern correspondents report in¬ creased activity in industrial and mer¬ cantile circles, except in the flooded districts, where business is still some¬ what unsettled. As to iron and steel, no material change is visible. The iron output in the east is being increased, but pieces are not any better and the demand does not yet. equal the supply. In southern iron prices are still irregular, but the movement is fairly active and there is a noticeable increase in the number of inquiries received. The demand for export is moderately good. The lumber trade shows consider¬ able improvement and southern mill- men report more activity than for sev¬ eral months. Prices are still low,how¬ ever. The export situation is good and prices are being steadily main¬ tained. The following are among the most important new industries established the past week: The Leather wood Coal and Lumber Co., capital $100,- 000, Clendennin, W. Va.; cotton com¬ press to cost $100,000 at Little Rock, Ark.; the Elba Improvement Co., cap¬ ital $172,000, Elba, Ala.; the Edison Electric Illuminating Co., capital $100,000, Savannah, Ga.; a 75-barrel flouring mill at Sanger, Tex.; a 100,- 000-bushel grain elevator at New Braunfels, Tex.; the Jumps A.

Although there has been much talk of electing General Harrison to be moderator of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church, to he held at Winona next month, there is not much likelihood that anything will come of it. General Harrison has explained to his friends that his time is too much occupied w ith his legal work and his his writings to give the necessary time for preparing for the event. Conse¬ quently his name will not be presented by any of the Indianapolis commis- sionera. TURKS TAKE Z VRKOS. The Town YVns an Important I»as© Of Operations Tty Greeks. It is announced from Constantino¬ ple that the first division of the Turk¬ ish army at Elassona has entered Greek territory from the vicinity of Da- masi and has captured the town of Zarkos, au important Greek base of operations, about eighteen miles west of Larissa aud about half way be¬ tween that place and Trikhala. Large quantities of ammunition fell into the hands of the Turks. FREIGHT COMBINE COMPLETED. Organization of tho "Southeastern Freight Association.” The “Southeastern Railway Freight Association” was formally organized at a meeting at Washington Thursday and officers elected. The articles of agreement are similar in all respects to those of the South¬ eastern Passenger association form d Wednesday. Samuel F. Parrott was elected chair¬ man of the association, and Major J.

Z'i J ‘Women do not Like to Tell a Doctor the Details of Their Private Ills. * :fo The reason why so many women suffer in silence from the multiple disorders con¬ nected with their sexual system is that •J •i they cannot bear to broach the subject to a man, even if he is a physician. No one can blame a modest, sensitive 4 woman for this reticence. It is unneces I 6ar y i n these times, however, for a woman makes to all afflicted women a most generous 4\ / il offer. Mrs. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass., bids every 'l \\ woman who suffers to write to her and confide \ ij l\ every symptom that annoys her, and she will give /V? J \ her advice without charge, and that advice is \> .i~~a I I based upon the greatest experience ever possessed ' Jr ’ I M J by man or woman twenty-three in this country, and extends over ® a period of years, and thousands upon I thou san (Is of cases. Why suffer in silence any longer, my sister, when you can get help for the asking? Don’t fear to tell her every thing. The case of Mrs. Colony, whose letter to Mrs. Pinkham wo publish, is an illustration of the good to be received from Mrs. Pinkham’s advice; here is a woman who was sick for year’s and could get no relief—at last in despair she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham—received in return a prompt, sympathetic and inter¬ ested reply. Note the result and go and do likewise. “I was troubled with such an aching in my hack and hips, and I felt so tired all the time, and had fer four years. For the last year it was all I could do to drag around. I w'ould have such a ringing in my head by spells that it seemed as though I would grow crazy. 1 ached from my shoulders to my feet and was very nervous.' I was also troubled with a white discharge. I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., received a prompt reply and followed her advice, and now I have no backache and begin to feel as one ought; in fact, 1 never felt bet¬ ter in ten years than I do now. I thank God that I went doctoring with Mrs. Pinkham when I did, for if I had not I know I would have been in my grave.” —Mbs. Nellie E. Colony, Nahma, Mich. M Y> ALABASTINE. V m IT WONT RUB OFF.
