The "niggers" and the trusts

These States are Alabama, Ar

'• South Carolina should be added

Strange Phenomenon in Ashe.
s
1 Ashe county has the strang
-3 est phenomenon yet reported as
• a supposed result of the contin
-1 uous rains. On Phoenix Moun
tain, about four miles from Jef
ferson. crowds have been gath
' ering for several days to see the
' openings in the sides of the
mountain. There are three of
these openings, varying in
width from two to nine feet and
of a depth of from two to six
feet. There are no slides of
earth at the points, but a sharp
division of the soil and the
rocks imbedded therein. The
dead trees which are lying
on the surface are dragged to
one side of the opening, or left
spanning them; the rocks,
which lay upon the surface, are
upon one side or the other of
the openings, with their edges
suspended over the cavity. |
Strangest of all, the trees which ,
were growing at the place of /
the cracks in the earth, are split
at the bottom and now span the
opening in the earth, one-half
the tree on one side and the
other half upon the other.
' Where the edge of a tree just
touched the point of division in
the earth, that edge is shaved
off and the tree left standing.—

PKESIiIT nm SHOT
WORK OF ANARCHIST.
Assassin During a Reception
at Buffalo Exposition.
For the third time in the his
tory of ihn United St;>t>s tin
nation's Chief* Executive has
been laid low by the hand of an
assassin. President McKinley
was shot twice Friday evening
last and perhaps mortally
wounded, as were Lincoln and
y Garfield before him.
The shooting was done in the
beautiful Temple of Music of
the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo, N. Y., where the
President was holding a public
reception. He had justfeturn
ed from a visit to Niagara Falls
with Mrs. McKinley, but she
was not present at the reception
in the Temple of Music, prefer
ring to remain in her room and
rest.
SHOT BY ANARCHIST.
The assassin was Freder
-3 ick Nieman, an avowed Anar
chist, who says "I did it. 1
am an Anarchist, and was car
rying out my principles. I have
only done my duty.'' He is 28
years of age of Polish descent,
. and says he has come from De
troit, Toledo, Cleveland and
other cities.
Amid thousands of others,
professing to show their respect
and loyalty for the President of
the United States, Nieman
approached the dais where Mr.
, McKinley stood, as if to shake
hands when his turn came in
the long line. He had a hand
kerchief in his hand which un
known to those who stood next
to him, covered a revolver.
Nieman's turn came at a few
minutes after 4 o'clock, when
the public reception had lasted
about 10 minutes, and when
perhaps 250 men and women
had preceded him in shaking
the hand of the Chief Execu
tive.
UNCOVERED HIS TISTOL.
When Nieman was within
three feet of the President and
was apparently on the point of
shaking hands, he suddenly un
covered the revolver and fired
twice.
The President fell back into
the ayns of Secretary Cortelyou
and President John G. Milburn,
of the Pan-American Exposition
and asked, "Am I shot?'-'
The assassin was overpower
ed by Corporal Bertschey and (
some men of the United States |
Coast Artillery, who turned him |
over to the Secret Service offi
cers. There were cries of ,
"Lynch him!" and the man
was thrown down and had his ,
face gashed in the scuffle to
overpower him. He was soon
taken to police headquarters un- (
der guard.
TWO BULLETS TOOK EFFECT.
The President was taken to !
the Emergency Hospital, where i
an operation was performed,
and thence to the home of Pres
ident John G. Milburn.
The physicians found that i
one bullet struck him on the
upper portion of the breastbone,
glancing, and not penetrating, i
The second bullet penetrated '
the abdomen five inches below
the left nipple, and one and a
half inches to the left of the
median line. :
The abdomen was opened and
it was seen that the bullet had j
penetrated the stomach. The
opening in the front wall of the 
stomach was closed with silk
stitches, after which a search 
was made for a hole in the back
wall of the stomach. This was i
found and was also stitched up. i
SECOND BULLET NOT FOUND. !
The further course of the bul
let could not be discovered, al- 1
though careful search was made. '
The abdominal wound was
closed without drainage and no
injury to the intestines was dis
covered. ,
President McKinley stood the |
operation well, with pulse at
130. The physicians said that ,
the result : could not then be 
foretold, but the President's ,
condition at the time he came j
from under the influence of the ,
anaesthetic was such as to jus- !
tify hope of his recovery. I
At 10 :50 P, M. the President j
was rallying and resting com
fortably. His temperature was ,
100.4; pulse, 124; respiration, i
24.
MRS. M'KINLEY IS TOLD.
Mrs. McKinley, who has
been so long in ill health, was
not told of the sad event ur.tii
9:10 o'clock, five hours aft r
the shooting occurred, as its
effect upon her was greatly
[leared. She received the news
1 .'with the utmost courage and
• fortitude.
Vice President Roosevelt, up
on whom in the event of the
President's "inability to dis
charge ihe powers and duties of
i his office' may devolve execu
tive authority, was at Burling
ton, \t., when he receivc-d the
11 MVS of the shooting of the
President. He left at once for

The Hoq In Chicago.
Jt has been proposed to turn
hogs loose in certain parts of
Chicago to serve as scavengers.
The plan has been both warm
ly commended and fiercely at
tacked. The Chicago Chronicle
opposes the hog proposition on
the ground that there are too
many hogs loose in town now.
This statement is sustained
by the following catalogue of
Chicago hogs and their perfor
mances :
"The hog thrusts his knees
into other passengers on the
street c;trs. The long tramps
across other people's feet in
theatres and public halls. The
hog, if at the end of a bench,
will never move in, but makes
others mount over his limbs.
The hog puffs smoke into the
faces of non-smokers. The hog
still spits in public places. He
chuckles when mis nap over
takes his neighbor in public.
"The hog grunts when re
quired to do something he ought
to have done voluntarily. The
hog thrusts other people out of
his way without regard to their
rights and sensibilities and
merely because it is his hoggish
way. The hog stands in door
ways and blocks the passage
The hog carries his umbrella so
as to run it into other's eyes if
they do not watch out." The
hog keeps the space at a ticket
window after he has procured
his own ticket. The hog leaves
waste paper or food refuse
where he sits or stands. The
hog jostles everybody in a crowd
poking ribs, puffing his foul
breath in others' faces. The
hog wallows in unfit stories in
public and dares emit them in
company unless rooted out in
time.
"The hog i« profane, blas
phemous and indecent in pub
lie. It does not concern the
public what he chooses to be
when alone.
"The hog will put his paws
3n the rungs of chairs occupied
ay others and will soil public
aenches with his dirty feet.
"The hog is cruel to old age
md to childhood.
"The hog often drives a cab
md recognizes no rights in pe
lestrians.
"The hog in a steam car or
jlevated train wants for himself
space intended for. two.
"The hog is a litterer of
streets, a defiler of crossings
md walks. He leers out of
ivindows aud slams doors.
"The hog uever begs pardon,
because it is not in hog nature
;o be conscious of giving offense.
"The hog in a theatre is a
luisance because he talks or
sleeps during the finest scenes,
rhe hog at a concert proves the
;rutli of the new definition that
'music is a vehicle of convers
ion." The hog often occupies
i box at the opera and proves
limself by distracting attention
rom the stage to his sty."
The Chronicle proves its case
iompletely and its argument
vill apply to conditions in main
>ther cities besides Chic igo.
It is time for an organized
tnd relentless anli-hotr move
nent wherever the people de
ire civilization to prevail.
Chicago, being pr«b;ibiy the

id cities, should lead the fight

d Cuba to be Free by June
e War department officials be
- heve that the Cubans will be
f able to establish their indepen
- dent form of government by
- May or Juue. This fact devel-.
' pped in connection with thevis
> it to Washington of General
r Wood, military governor of the
f island.
» The administration does not
■ propose to countenance any in
terference with the natural pro
gress of events in this direction,
says the Wasltrngton correspon
dent of the New York Press.
While it has been repeatedly
urged that this country was
placing obstacles in the way of
the Cubans in forming their
government, officials of the de
partment say that the expres
sions of Secretary Root, while
he was in Washington last
week, show that the president
and the administration will do
everything possible to assist the
Cubans in their work which
they have in hand, The deci
sion not to promulgate a new
tariff schedule is an indication
of this. Secretary Root gives
as his reason for not promulga
ti n g the recently prepared
schedules the short time' which
will elapse before ihe Republi
can form of government is in
vogue.
While the new Cuban govern
ment will follow its own wishes
in the matter, th ,j re is nothing
to prevent tho work of the tar
iff commission being turned to
good advantage. Administra
tion officials say that the only
delay in f.» tiling th* new gov
ernmeu! which can in anv way
be attributed to the United
States is that oceasioned bv the
refusal of the United States to
accept from the Cuban constitu
tional convention - a modified
form of tli.* I'latt amendment.
In this it is ufg d the executive
officers of the government were
acting io line with their duty.
It is denied tint the location of
coali'ig stations and other pro
visions of the amendment which
must be carried out by the Cu
bans will interfere with the
speedy organization of the gov
ernment.
General Wood .said while in
Washington that It > returned to
Cuba .-it. this time to assist in
carrying forward »s rapidly as
possible th* pr'liaiinaries to
