No wheat of the new crop ever gets into Pillsbury's Best even after it is well cared and through the sweating process, unices it has been scientifically examined by oar experts. We have several nigh priced men who do nothing eUe but test wheat Every crop of wh;at is diflercat.

We never use an v of this wheat until we know. its chemical properties and milling ciuslitics. No wheat of this year's croo will be ground into Pillsbury's Best which has not been through the most s -arching test from the samples sent to our o wn laboratory. Th's thoroughness in selecting our wheat is fol'owed by the most skillful milling in the world. The practical work of making flour ts simply perfect in our mills.

Mr. Nettles subsequently came into court and rendered an excuse tor bis absence and hjs fine was remitted. Thejurv was impaneled and the court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. Testimony BcgloH. J. M. Bailey of Maishall wascallcd this morning; as the first witness and testified that be knew C. B. Brockus, and in Feb ruary last was with-hira at old man Ed wards', where be died. Brockus had been shot in his limbs and body and said to his father, who had asked the wounded man whether or not he would jjo home, "No, I don't think that I will ever go home Hirain." On cross examination witness said that when be got to Brockus the latter said he hoped to get well. The testimony given was ruled out. tiailey continued: Brockus had a warrant for the arrest of John Llewellyn. Witness was shown some papers by the Solicitor and identified them as the watrant for Llewellyn and Brockus' com mission as a deputy marshal. Witness said that he bad taken the papers from Hrockus overcoat pocket at old man 12 iwarris', and tlint he examined the garment and found thirteen or fourteen bullet boles in it, some of the bullets having passed through the papers. On cross examination the witness said he was a cousin of Brockus, und had been active in the prosecution of the case. Could not tell of his own knowl edge what killed Charles Brockus nor whether the death ot Brockus was due to malpractice of a doctor or n gunshot wound. Has not been to the Solicitor's office in the Whitt matter. Re-direct: Put private mark on war rant when he went to Marshall for burial clothes for Brockus. The commission and warrant were put in evidence. Zb Wtallt's Slorv. Zcb Wbitt testified : I live in Madison county. Some time mst winter I stayed nil night at Richard Whitt's. Went to John Lewcliyn's house. Lewdlyn said : "Let me pick you a tune on the banjo." Before the tune was finished somebody in the room went to the door and some thing was said about an officer. Johu't ife talked with the oliicer while John crawled into the loft. She opened the door and Charley Brockus came into tbe room, Later Brockus and Sanimcy Cox trot on their borsf s and rode awsr- I sat down to the table and whs eating when the little children s.iid: "Yonder they come," and lohn jumped out the door. I went out, and the officer was a hundred yards from the house and lohn was thirty yards further off, quar tering across the field. I went in the biir road and saw others there. Heard the officer shout: "Whoopee; I've tot him." Went over where Charley Brockus had John Lewellyn arrested. Brockus took Johns pistol nwav Irom him and gave it to George Whitt, the prisoner. The officer said they must go to Marshall and Llewellyn insisted on resting because he was tired from running. Frank l.lcwclWn hid a pistol under his coat and told the officef that if he didn't turn John loose he would blow bis damned brains out. Brockus kept John between himself and tbe old man who swore he would shoot him whether or no. George Whitt, who was standing a few feet away, pulled a pistol partly out of bis pocket and mut tered that "John didn't have logo unless he wanted to. frank Llewellyn and Brockus stepped aside and talked a min ute, and George Whitt and John Llew ellyn talked together. A compromise of some sort was bxed up, and ueorge Wbitt was to go to the bouse und get John a clean shirt, a mule and a bond, and all would go to Marshall, ibey started off, and somebody said : "Look where latin s horse has thrown him. When 1 got to tbe bouse George Whitt was there and tbe officer and John Llewellyn came up by another direction than that taken by me, lohn and the othcer went in the bouse andjobn closed the door. John then called George Whitt inside and something was said about searching Vt hitt. Urockus said be thought he was too much of a man to give V bitt a pistol. hitt went in and shortly after came out. John came to the door iu bis shirt sleeves and pulled a pistol saying: "Shoot me, shoot me." Brockus said, "No, put up your pistol and get your clothes on and let s go. ' obn Llewellyn said Urockus might as well go back to Tennessee, as be was not going with him. Urockus replied that Llewellyn would go with turn or somebody would die. Llewellyn then told the officer to send tbe men away and then they would "shoot it out, man to man." Brockus said be . bad nothing to no with tbe men. John then said: "Men, go way. 1 be olncer looked in the direc tion ot tbe men and Jobn Llewellyn threw bis pistol very low, bred, and went back ward toward the house. Brockus fired two shots and then Llewellyn got inside the door and fired again. Brockus fired back. Just before the shooting began George W hitt told Llewellyn to say what be pleased, that be didn t bave to go. Whiletbis shooting was goingon I heard somebody shooting over by the corner of tbe house and I saw George Wbitt with tbe pistol in bis band, partially presented. I saw smoke, like somebody had shot close by. Directly opposite Whitt a man was going toward Brockus, shooting at tbe latter, and tbe man was loe I'utillo. I'atillo went close (Continued on fourth page.) Tbe Finance Committee Did Mot Report on ma Case Today and frobably Will Mot Do So Daring Tbe Extra Session. Washington, D. C, Oct. 31. Special. There was no meeting of the finance committee this morning and conse quently no action was taken on the case of Kope Elias, If Congress adjourns without tbe Senate taking action, as Congress now seems sure to do, tbe nomination fuils and a new appointment must be made. It would not be unprec edented, but it would be extremely unusual for tbe President to reappoint Elias, but it may be claimed by Elias' friends that the committee simply failed to act for want of time. Should Elias be reappointed it is believed that such action would bring about an adverse import and a vote rejecting him at the very opening of the regular session in December. The failure of the committee to take actiou is an attempt on the part of some Senators to avoid creating bad feeling. By giving the President an opportunity to make another nomination, without a formal rejection of Elias, it is hoped that a new man, not objectionable to either side, may be appointed. THE REPEAL BILL PASSED THl! VOTE STOOD 43 VEAS TO 3 MAVI. A BAD BEAU, Mav It Fights Two Boil, Who Lost Tbelr Bands. Canton, N. C, Oct. 31. It will be re membered by those who were at the recent soldiers.' reunion at Waynesville that two young men named Reece were exhibiting a young bear which they had captured near their home on the west tork of Pigeon river. These same young men bad a thrilling experience with another bear which they caught a day or two ago in a pen in the locality of their borne. They tied bruin with a rope each, and started to lead him hotne. One of them let bis line slack, which was taken advantage of by the bear by jumping on one of its captors, and lacer ating nis hand and arm leariully. Ibis caused tbe other to drop his line to relieve tbe first young man, when the bear turned and pave him an equally b.id stroke of bis paws. One of the boys then shot the bear. It is thought probable that the boys ill both bave to have their hands am putated. SADDENED CHICAGO. SlRTor HarrOon's Remains Will Lie In state. Chicago, Oct. 31. The grand jury has rendered an indictment for murder against Prcndergast who shot Mayor Harrison. All was shrouded in gloom and quiet in and about the Harrison homestead on Asheland boulevard yesterday. Only a lew pedestrians stopped as they passed to gaze, awe-struck, at the closely drawn curtains and at the black badge of mourning on tbe door. But one police man was on duty at tbe outer gate aud he had only to tell the inquirers that tbe family desired uninterrupted quiet and that the body would be conveyed to tbe city ball, there to remain in state for 24 hours. One of the earliest callers was tbe family physician, and be was closelv followed by Undertaker C. H. Jordan, who saw that tbe details of preparing the remains were properly attended to.

Burglars Make AHbevllle Tbelr Stamping Ground. Judging from the occurrences of the past week or two, Asbeville is the seat of operations of an organized band o burglars. Within that time there have been eight or 10 burglaries in various parts of the city. At least, that number have been reported, and there may have been some cases where the stealing was not reported. One of the latest suflerers from a visit Irom the burglars is ex-Ad visor Jobn A. Nichols, who lives on Liberty street. The thieves entered the house through the kitchen door, which the cook had neglected to lock. Among the articles stolen were a silver syrup pitcher, a present to Mrs. Nichols; silver spoons, knives, forks and a napkin nnc; a quan tity of flour and bacon and a jug of mo lasses. Some of the silverware had Mr. Nichols' initials cngravtd thereon. Mr. Nichols says so far be has no clue what ever to the identity of the thieves. SWEEPING REDUCTIONS! WE ARE NOT CLOSING OUT.

The World's Fair closed last night in mourning and with its flags at half mast. Instead of a festival of oratory and song whicn was to bave filled in the afternoon, there were services of a memorial character for tbe dead Mayor. Instead of a scene of dazzling splendor that was to crown the day of brilliancy in speech and music, only the necessary lights burned last night and the White City was shrouded in darkness at an earlier hour than since its opening. With the death of Mayor Harrison tbe life and gayety of tbe expo sition went out forever. K flamoudon's Trip 10 Tbe West A Marrow Escape. N. Plam indon has returned from a trip to Clay county, where he went to examine the mineral deposits of that sec tion. He brought back a large number of cabinet specimens, and has kindly added several very pretty specimens of corundum to Tan Citizen museum. He was greatly impressed with tbe result of his trip. Mr, Plamondon had a narrow escape from what would doubtless have proved a very serious if not fatal accident while on this trip. He was driving along tbe country road which at one point is a narrow ledge on tbe mountain side. while the Hiawassee river flows 30 or 40 feet below. Mr. Plamondon's bor6cs shied at this point and backed the buggy almost over the edge of the precipice. The gentleman traveling with Mr. Plam ondon jumped out and caught the horses, otherwise the vehicle would undoubtedly bave gone over the precipice. Wlif Tbls DelarT Washington, Oct. 31 The impression prevails that the judiciary committee of the Senate will take no action on the nomination of Hornblower, nominated to be Associate Justice of the Supreme court, and that it will therefore go over until tbe regular session in December.
