Fort Worth, Tex. Feb. 21.—The little town of Aurora, thirty miles from Fort Worth, is in a state of ex- citement, occasioned by the appear- ance in that locality of a fatal dis- ase, designated by the doctors as meningitis or spotted fever. Half the citizens have fled from the vil- lage in terror. It is stated that the malady is regarded with so much horror that nurses cannot be found for the sick nor a sufficient number of doctors to administer to the ail- ing.

Commercial Agency.” No person shall be referred to the members of this or any other branch as owing a member of “The Merchants Retail Commercial Agency’’ until such person has been given a full and fair opportunity to go to the merchant he owes and in some way settle up his indebtedness. This system cannot work a hardship on any person who is disposed to do the SQUARE thing. Any person, no matter how poor, how unfortunate his circumstances in life, 1F HE Is HONEST, he need have no fear, because he can and will make known his circumstances in such a way as will be satisfactory to the persen he owes. NO MERCHANT WILL EVER CROWD A POOR MAN WHO IS HONEST; but that class of persons, who do not care for their promises to pay; who go from one store to another, from one town to another, contracting a debt wherever they can get the chance to open an account; who go it blind, never stopping to consider how they ean pay; never trying to pay—paying their honest debts being the last thing they ever think of—it is to such persons that this system pays attention. Itis no hardship to ask men to be honest in their deals with a merchant who trusts them. Every farm- er, every mechanic, every person in the community in which we reside who pays his honest debts is interested in the suc- cess of asystem which seeks to make those who can pay and won't pay, pay their honest debts, because it it is those who pay cash or pay their debts prompt- ly* who furnish the money which enables the merchant to successfully conduct his business and carry on his books that class ef people styled slow yayers and ‘‘dead beats.” Every dollar lost by the mer- chant by reason of bad debts is indirectly loaded onto the shoulders of those who do pay, and any system that forces pay- The Colored Population of Oklahoma Preparing to Capture the Territory. Torrxa, Kas, Feb. 21.—Streng forts are being made to have E. P. McCabe named as governor of Oklahoma. The reasons given are i that already a majority of the Okla- homa population is negro, to which will be added as many more before fall. There seems to be consistency in the claim, as, withoat doubt, the Regro population of that territory tow reaches over 20,000. While tlong the railroads the settlers are white further back there are many negro settlements which are grow- ing larger every day. § Then, too, the migration from Aorth Carolina to Mississippi and kansas is but the first step toward Cherokee strip, which will be invaded from all sides by negroes hen opened. This race is organiz- das never before, determined upon building up a negro state to be ruled by negroes alone. Even if a white @evernor is appointed, they pro- ose to have such numbers as to pture the first state election ever held, and have already a_ secret, Roath-bound society, with headquar- eters at Oklahoma, looking to the ying out of that programme. cCabe’s appointment as governor ould add 20,000 negroes to the Opulation of that territory in less n five months.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 24.—A cour- ier just arrived from the lower dam on the Hassayampa, says that a tre- mendous deluge of water came down the Hassayampa at about 2 o'clock Saturday morning, and that 24 men lost their lives in the lower dam, where they were at work. Thirty- one were whites and three chinese. ; The courier reports the tewn of Wickenberg all right. The loss of life between Wicken- berg and the dam may not be known for some days, but it is without doubt considerable, and the num- ber may possibly reach 30 or 40. The courier states that the upper dam has undoubtedly broken and carried the other two dams below down with it. The loss of property in the dams will amount to about $800,000. In its treatment of rheumatism and all rheumatic troubles Hibbard’s Rheu- matic Syrup stands first and toremost above all others.

Scott last week and re- solved with almost smothering so- lemnity that they would support no one for office who did not advocate these views, to wit: Abolition of national banks aud the substitution of greenbacks for bank notes; enact- ment of laws prohibiting dealing in margins, free coinage of silver, abo- lition of alien ownership of land, all revenues shall be limited to the needs of the government economical- ly administered. These views enunciate a pretty platform, but it will be a cold day when the Kansasites vote for them. They vote the republican ticket, blindly, stupidly, mechanically, out there. They don’t know any better. —West Va. Sentinel. i j | j i POWDER | Absolutely Pure. | This (heb never varies. A marvelofpurity | Strength and wholsomeness.
