Then the Captain’s great love for the southern people, developed at this late date, is amazing. It has only been a few years ago, long after the fires of passion and prejudices eugendered by the late war, had been extinguished in the breast of bonest, chivalrous men, that this atatesman with the fog horn voice, unde use of the brutal expression: “The people of the south ought to be ruled by the negroes the rest of their lives.” Can any self respecting southern man vote for or haye respect fora scoundrel who would utter such a sentiment long after they had sur- rendered to overwhelming numbers; tong after they had become loyal <itizens of the Union. and would follow the stars and stripes as loy- ally and defend it as bravely as they iid the stars and bars of the lost couse. It was brutal instinct that harbored such a sentiment, and could pe uttered by none but a cow- ard and bully. It may be that the Captain's change of heart came after he had ‘deserted the republican party and “stopped his lying,” as he told his hearers in a lengthy harangue in the court house yard just before the election. ‘But'then we muet not forget our <Ovomise tc our readers not to try this case in the paper.

Cornering The Cook Gang. Muscogee, I. T., Nov. 18. —United States Attorney Jackson has receiv- ed a letter from Bill Cook, threaten- attempt to exterminate the gang. The force of deputies under Deputy United States Marshal McGill, were equipped by United States At- torney Jackson at his own expense, and the citizens here are loud in their praise of him. His instructions to the men were to remain in the field until the gang had been killed or captured. I[t was this force that surprised the bandits under Chero kee Bill and made the valiant fight reported. Cherokee Bill has not yet been captured, though late re- ports says he surely will be, togeth- er with the full force he has been leading. The report that Cherokee Bill was badly wounded in the bat- tle with the deputies has been veri fied by dispatches to United States Attorney Jackson tonight. One of the bandits captured during the fight was brought here by Marshal Cobb His information from the fighting ground is that Cher okee Bill's band is surrounded and can only escape by fighting their way through the deputies’ lines, which is not believed they can suc- ceed in doing. Marshal Cobb be lieves, however, there will be anoth- er bloody fight. Preacher Cut His Throat. Salisbury, Mo. Nov. 16.—Rev. Presly D. Vandevender killed him self to.day by cutting his throat with arazor. He wasin the city at 12 o'clock today, and left for his home, a half mile south of town, after eat ing dinner. He went to an apple house. and lying down, cut his throat, and it seers, died without a struggle. He acted rather strange- ly for several days. He leaves a widow and three boys and two girls, the two latter married. His domes tic affairs were exceedingly pleasant. Friend Carpenter the poultryman of Butler, had a big run on chickens and turkeys Monday. The poultry was brought in by the wagon load, one load of chickens came from New Home township and goes to prove that Butler is the best poultry mark- et in the county.

You sell your farm produce at good prices and buy your neces- saries in the dry goods and grocery lime there is no place like the county seat. The republicans got about every- thing, yet they are sending up a wail that fairly jars the earth, charging fraud, and in their eager- nees to take all they are contesting the seat of nearly every demoeratic congressman elected.

Kolb, the defeated can- | didate of the Populist party for, Governor of Alabama, publishes a} lengthy address to the people, in | | this afternoon's edition of the Peo | ples Daily Tribune of this city, the State organ of the Koibites and Populists, in which he declares his lutention to be inaugurated Gover nor of the State December 1, and} calls upon his followers everywhere |to gather at Montgomery on that day and aid him in taking his seat.

The foregoing considered, and in view of the excit jing conditions in Alabama, I have determined to discharge my full duty to tbe people of Alabawa. I will not fail to repeat the pledges which I have made to the people who have given me their confidence aud stood by me so heroically dur- ing the past four years. You, fellow citizens, have twice elected ne Gov ernor of this State, and this time by the grace of God and the help of the good people of Alabama, I will be Governor.

And I hereby cali upon good people in every part of the State, to aid me in all proper and peaceable methods to uphold the law und set aside the power of traitors and usurpers in Alabama.

It is my duty to see that he is duly installed, and by the grace of God he will be. I do not anticipate that any number of men will be foolish enough to} heed Kolb’s advice, but if they do, | the consequence will be on their | own heads.” HIS CRIME WAS AWFUL. Thomas Portercheck Kills His Mother, Sister and Brother. Mexico, Mo., Nov 19.—Early this morning a horrible tragedy occurred near Wellsville a little village eigh teen miles east of this place. Thos. Porteheck, a Bohemian, presumably | in a fit of insanity, killed his mother a sister anda brother with an ax Auother sister escoped through a window while he was mother. After completing the wholesale slaughter the maniac threw a lamp | on the floor, lighted the spilled oil with a match and committed suicide. Yesterday afternoon Portercheck was discovered acting strangely and gave indications that his mind was deranged. He labored under the hallucination that bis neck was| broken and insisted that a physician be summoned. His relatives en | deavored to convince him of his; error and tried to get him to bed. !

Must Serve Out his Twenty-five Years Jefferson City, Nov 20—Judge Burgess affirmed the judgment of* the St. Louis couuty circuit court in the case of Marion Hedgepeth, the Glendale train robber. This meaus that Hedgepeth will serve a term of 25 years in the pen- itertiary He and others held up a ‘Frisco train in the spring of 1892 at Glen- dale, St. Louis county, secured near- ly $17,000 of money and something like $3,000 of valuables. Only @ fraction of the plunder was ever recovered, aud it was with a view to locating the missing money that Hedgepeth’s trial was delayed.
