One Brave Man of the Uw Can

Terrible Experience In Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 28. Cornelius J. Sulli

Kelly," become involved in n quarrel
with Martin Bulcs, a desperate young
ne;ro, today.
Mules dashed at Sullivnn with an up
raised knife, and Iwfore Sullivan could
make a show of resistan.-e he hud re
ceived three savage cuts. The third
pierced his heart and he fell dead.
Throwing the knife dowu, Bales ran
away, Sullivan's friends started in pur
suit with cries of "Hang the niggerl"
"LvHch him!" A shot which cut the skin
on his right arm did not stop the mur
derer, who ran into the arms of Police
man Cain. The infuriated mob attacked
both the negro and the policeman, the
latter making a brave defence, being
knocked down repeatedly, but never los
ing hold of his prisoner.
He would have been overpowered and
Bales would have been lynched bud not
John M. Smyth drove up in a buggy and
thrown both Cain and Hales into it,
driving to the police station near bv.and
escaping the mob. Bales acknowledged
his guilt.
Foiled in its thirst for revenge upon
the murderer of Sullivan, the mob be
came wilder than ever. Race hatred
quickly showed iiselt. "Sandy" Smith,
colored, an innocent spectator, started
to run away when the mob returned.
At once it savnuc chase ensued. The
s.inic cries ol "l.vnch him," "Hang the
nigger," were heard. As the yelling
mob ran ufter Smith several shots were
fired, one ol whic h struck Henry Dono

was quickly tilled bv'the angry crowd,
and Smith wag hustled into it fighting
for his lite. His clothes were soon torn
to tatters and his face pounded horribly.
The lynching spirit was uppermost in
the mind of the mob, and the sight of a
a rpe and pullev dangling from the side
of L. C. Tewe's ice ham jwns sufficient
as a suggestion.
"Let's string him up," was the cry, and

neck was encircled by the rope, and the

STATE UA.NU1NU.
The Pnnlc of 1837 and 'What It
Costs A abama Today.
Montgoukrv, Ala., Oct.l. In a speech
in Camden county Gov.Thomas G. Jones
in accepting the issue of the pending
campaign as being the democracy
against the alliance said:
'As we all know, the state of Alabama
once indulged in the business of banking
or loaning money to the people.
The panic of 1837, however, caused
great depression and suffering in Ala
bama. A cry came up from the people
t hut the state must come to the rescue
by lending the people money. A called
session of the legislature was hnd. and
n June, 1837, the state issued $5,000.-
000 of bonds, which were sold at oar
Mid loaned through the banks to the
people. The lonns were reauired to be
apportioned according to population in
the scverul counties, and no individual
could borrow more than $2,000. The
loans were to be at 7 per cent, interest,
secured by two good and sufficient sure
ties, and, when required, by a deed of
trust on real estate and slaves.
Men of ability and honesty conducted
the banks, but thev soon tailed, entailing
a flood of litigation and distress upon
the people. I he state was compelled to
w ind up the banks and the taxpayers
had to foot the bills, which were enor
mous. In the debt compromise of 1870,
the bonds issued by the slate to raise
money to loau to the people were not
scaled, though the rate ot interest was
reduced. This So, 1101 1,000 issue of bonds
now bears four per cent, interest, and
the state puvs $2 .0,000 interest per un
11 urn on them.
The state also nut into the banks the
university fund and the surplus fund. All
these trust funds were swallowed up in
the operations of the banks, and in con
sequence the stale now pays yearly for
interest on these trust Iliads in round
numbers more than $1H1!,000.
1 he people ol .Manama arc paving to
day $3(a.(l HI interest per ear. or nearly
a thousand dollars a day, on account of
a mistake on this line which our ances
tors made tilty years ago."

Will the city's lire alarm never let up?
People living within the sound of the

ing the alarm ring out rapidly. It was
soon tomtri out that the ringing was
used bvthe old trouble, the wind hlow
ing the alarm wire against an electric
wire in some part ol the citv. The strin-

went to the baticrv room in the mayor s
office and disconnected the wire from the

morning and thought he had located the

Mr. Austin hnd remedied the evil, as

Then it susiiended hostilities tor a

And so it went. 1 here is no war ol

And in this connection it might be well
to add that no cttort should lie spared
to hunt out the seat of touble at once,

A STARTLING SENSATION.
ALLEGED ATTEMPT OK THE
LIFE OP EHPKROR JOSEPH.
The (story Is Not Confirmed Vet,
and May Not be True A Brldire
Was to be Wrecked Before the
Imperial Train.
Viknna, October 1. Bmperor Francis
bseph arrived at Reichberg.near Prague
this morning, and with his advent came
tbe news of an alleged attempt upon hiB
life. The news has caused a great sensa
tion in spite of the doubts thrown upon
tbe statement.
The story, in brief, is as follows:
During the night un attempt was made
with a dynamite bomb to blow up tbe
railroad bridge at Rosenthal, a suburb
of Keichbury. This outrage is said to
uve occurred shortly before the Emper
r's train was expected to nasi over the
bridge. Some railroad watchmen, it is
said, saw the would-lie assassins as they
were upon tne point 01 attaching the
bomb to tbe bridge and by appearing
upon the scene Irustrated their design.
The railroad officials who have calcu
lated thisalarmiug story have not as vet
explained whether the men supposed to
have lieen engaged in tbis outrage intend
ed to destroy the Rosenthal bridge as the
mpcrial train was approacbintr it or
whether it was the alleged assassin's
esire to wait until the emperor's train
was upon the bridge. In any case, there
much in the whole affair which will
need a definite explanation before sober
minded people will be convinced that an
attempt upon the emperor's life has been
inaae or even contemplated.

By its use you can save yourself
from the suffering caused by foul
eruptions and ulcerous sores,
through which the system strives
to rid itself of corruptions. It
purifies the blood, giving it re
newed vitality and force. Being
an alterative, it changes the action
of the system, imparting fresh
strength and vigorous health in
place of that weakness and tired
feeling, which is an indication of
disorder and decay.
The concentrated power and
curative virtues of Buncombe
Sarsaparilla render it the most
reliable Blood Purifier that can
be used, while it is entirely safe
for patients of all ages.
