' TESTIMONIALS published in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla are avreliable and w orthy of confidence as if from jour most trusted neighbor. Our Bargains Fifiiclish Attempt of a Hanhantl. Rock Island, Tenn,. July 24 The fiendish attempt of Chas. lohnson to murder hjs young wife by spurring her horse, an 1 dragline a earriao-e head- Ions: over a precipice, is the sensational climax of a month. Johnson who is a liew Yorker, came to this vicinity a month ago. and by faultless dress and engaging manners won the affections of Miss Maggie Austin, daughter of Col. Austin, a prominent resident, and married, her under romantic circum stances. The couple eloped and the cerempny was performed in the public road by a emintry parson, while the lady's relatives were in hot pursuit with Winchesters. They were forgiven and all went happily to every appearance. Monday the couple went put driving. When they reached a precipice not far from town Johnson deliberately drove the horse over the edge, jumping out in time to save himself. His cold blooded purpose was evidently to cause thedcath of his wife. The woman was found at the foot of the pre cipice, badly bruised and unconscious. She was taken to her father's home and soon revived, when she told the horri- rible tale. lohnson has disappeared. If he is captured by the psse now scouring the country he will certainly be lynched. Their Name Is Legion. Reader, there are many . blood purifying: medicines. There is but one Hood's Sarsa- parilla. 1 Do not allow high-sounding adver- 1 tisements or other devices to turn you from your purpose to take Hood's- Sarsaparilla, because in this purpose you are right and will not be disappointed in the result. I Food's Sarsaparilla is an honest medicine, honestly advertised, effect honest cures, and gives every patron a fair equivalent for his money. What more can you reasonably ask ? A fair trial guarantees a "complete cure. No I'rospeeis of Agreement on the Tar i ft' Kill. Washington, July, 30. It is appar ent even to a casual observer, that the House Democrats have determined not to accept the Senate bill without some concessions. 1 nree 01 trie lour House conferees, Messrs. Wilson, Montgomery, and Turner, are willing to remain in session until March 4th next, rather than surrender to the Senate. Mr. McMillan, the remaining member of the House committee," is more liberal andis willing to meet the Senate conferees in a more con ciliatory spirit. The House conferees know, however, that their position has the endorsement of the President and Speaker Crisp, as well as that of I a majority of the leading members of she party on the. floor. " A Country Slinister'n Explanation. A country minister in a certain locality took permanent leave of his congregation in the following pathetic? manner: "Brothers" and sisters 1 come to say good bye. I don't think God loves this church, because none of you ever die. I don't think you love each other, because I never marry any of vou. I don't think you love me, because you have not paid mv salarv. Your donations are moldy fruit and wormy apples, and "by their fruits ye shall know them.' Brothers. I am eromtr away to a bet ter place. I have been called to be chaplain of a penitentiary. Where I go ye cannot come, but I go to pre pare a place for you, and may the Lord have mercy on your souls. Good-bye.". The minister was then ready to accept a louder call lor a higher salary.

' ' AGREtMENT EXPECTED THIS WEEK The Sundry Civil Bill Out of the Committee Koom Knd of the Work on Appro priations The House Merely Drifting and Waiting. W.sm.OTo, July 30. The torrid heat is aiding the the tariff compromis er. Extremists find their obstinacy wiltering with their shirt collars. Sen ator Jones, who has had the laboring" oar on the tariff bill on the senate side ever since it left the house is fairly con fident that an agreement of some sort will be reached this week. Whether the debate which will then follow will be brief or indefinitely protracted will depend entirely upon the nature of the report presented by the conferees. Omitting: the tariff bill from the cal culations as to what may take place, there is every' indication that the end of the week will see all the appropria tion bills safely out of the way. Sundry Civil Bill Leaves the Committee. Sir. Cockerell, chairman of the senate committee on " appropriations, expects to get the sundry civil bill, that vehicle which carries everything not otherwise provided for, out of the committee room by tonight to be reported Tues day morning. He will call it up at once for consideration. He then ex pects, to have the deficiency bills in such shape that he can follow the sundry civil with it when needed. This will complete the appropriation bills and leave the senate free to discuss tariff or threaten adjournment if delays are in terposed. . It. may be that the Chinese treaty will get its day in court, but there does not appear to be. much interest in treaties just now, and this particular treaty seems to have more active ene mies than friends. , Drifting is the only word that will now aeeifrately describe the condition of affairs in, the house of representa tives. The House Simply Waiting. All of the business which the mana gers feel it is in any wise essential for record purposes to pass at this session of congress has already been disposed of, and they are now .-imply waiting on the conference committees to give them an opportunity to settle the differ ences between the two branches over those measures upon which the house has already once passed. No program has beed arranged for this week, fur ther than that Wednesday will be de voted to the Moore-Funston contested election case from Kansas. Moore is a democrat seeking to get Funston's seat, and the majority-of the committee have reported in his favor. A meeting- of the committee was held this morning to decide what committees should have the sessions of today and tomorrow for the consideration of -business. The Indian and naval committees will prob ably be. the. favored ones. The other days in the week will be apportioned later, if it shall then be found desirable to continue the policy of parcelling out the time. ' ARRESTED BEFORE HE SAILED. The VTnertembarjt Trade Vnionist, Agita tor and Murderer Captared. Berlin. July 30. The WTuertemburg trades unionist, agitator and murderer, Aspieron, was arrested last Wednesday in Bremen where he hid while waiting an oportunity to get away to the United States. During the main strike in Zu rick, Aspieron and a crowd of strikers met the Swiss workinginan, Hoessli, 1 who was just leaving the station to visit his family. Hoessli, who was a non-unionist, was attacked by the strikers and beaten to death. At a re union of German workingmen several weeks afterwards, a spy avowed that Aspieron struck the fatal blow and in duced his comrades to subscribe to a fund for his escape. With the money thus obtained he paid his expenses while waiting to embark. He had sev eral tJerman accomplices', among them Schniczler, chairman of the strike com mittee. Most of them have been ar rested. - . CORN WITHERED BY HOT WINDS A llelief That Grain Must be ReHhipped to Parts of Kansas and Nebraska. " Pknvkk, Col., July 30.

In its resume ! of the week's- business tho Tradesman t-aj's there is no question any longer of I1 distinct improvement in business and j Industrial circles all over the south. While the change is not so specific in fc-ohime, it is very noticeable in the gen eral feeling. Excellent crop report I'ome from all sections of the south and there is rapid restoration of confidence and strong hopefulness in fall business, There seems to be a revival in indus trial investments and several large new plants were established during the week, and capitalists appear to be turn ing their attention more to the south. .

The pig iron market is very dull yet and prices sluggish, but lum ber is a little better, coal in good de mand, and the textile plants, furniture mills and llouring mills very busy. Forty-five new industries were reported during the week, together with ten en largements and thirty-six new build ings. " ' ASSAULTING THE SENTINELS. .

' Get Toeether Right. The Atlanta Constitution says: that the Democrats of Georgia have their differences, and their personal pref erences and tnat during the present campaign they have- sometimes in dulged in utterances that were more heated and emphatic than the occa sion demanded, but they have not forgotten their party obligations, and it is already evident that they are getting together with the determina tion to roll up one of their old fash ioned majorities against the Populists. This is right. But when they get together let them get together in the proper way. There ought to be no difference between Democrats that cannot be adjusted, and there wouldn't be if the bosses were elimi nated. In time this will be the case. It will be the people who rule and not the bosses and their henchmen Whenever Democrats make up their minds to run the party without the aid of the bosses and the cliques it will invariably ' be successful, and whatever diffeiencos may arise can be adjusted with little or no trouble. Norfolk Virginian. Leath of a Stranger Some months ago Miss Sallie Lee McKinnon, while in school at Peace Institute, was presented with a gen uine, live alligator by a friend who was at the time traveling in Florida. The 'gator was about twelve inches long and for some time did quite well, manifesting no decline of health - from change of climate or other causes. He came to be a great favorite of his possessor and made other warm iriends at Peace while there. Some time last Fall he was removed to Clinton, and as winter came on and grasshop pers grew scarce, necessitating change of diet, he fell into a wasting consumption which, despite careful nursing and the best medical treat ment, resulted in his death last week. He was buried in the front yard, far from the balmy waters and blissful sunshine of his native land, and his erave is marked with tombs tones. Clinton Democrat. Highest of all in Leavening Power. AOSOUJDTTIiJlX PURE How it Is la Cabarrus. It has been known for some time that Senator Ransom has but little following in Cabarrus, but a quizzing up and down street and among the leading citizens of the county reveals the fact that Cabarrus county is al most solid for Jarvis to succeed Ran som. Some few are for both. They feel that Ransom and Jarvis are the biggest men in the State. Our list shows that 55 Democrats have expressed their preferences in very emphatic manner and it shows up thus: Jarvis, 50; Ransom, 3; both Jarvis and Ransom, 2. There is scarcely any doubt that were the Democratic voters of the county polled, the proportion would remain about the same. It is said that Eastern North Caro lina is almost solid against Ransom, but he has some fine trotting-under-the wire qualities. The expressions above secured for the most part not only indicated anti Ransom but out and out Jarvis men "Jarvis first last and all the time' as many of them put it. Concord Stan dard. The Chivalry or Mr. Hill. If there were nothing behind it the defence of the President by Senator Hill would be chivalric, but there is something behind it, a cat in the meal tut the income tax cat. Mr. HUH has set his heart so much on the de feat of this tax that there is nothing that he wouldn't do to defeat it. If that were out ol it he would be lound voting with his Democratic collea gues for taxed coal and iron and everything else. Had the President stopped short ol his deprecation of the income tax Mr. Hill would not have shown near the alertness he did, nor near the seemingly disinterested maganimity he now does in going to his defence, but in doing so he strengthens his own case and has in directly at least an ally in the Presi- he can create a diversion on the Dem ocratic side in the Senate, and re open the discussion, the result might be more compromises, one of which would be the elimination of the in come tax from the bill, and then with the point for which Mr. Hill has been struggling so long and so resolutely gained he would be content and vex his soul very little over free raw materials.
