'jKwps VICTIMS OF WHITECAPS. AN OHIO MAN BEATEN, UURIED ALIVE AND THEN DUG UP BE FORE HE HAD CEASED TO BREATHE. The whitecaps have created another sensation by whipping a man named Huntsman, who lives at Heliand Station, ten miles from Toledo, Ohio, and burying him alive. The story has only leaked out, although the outrage, according to the police was committed September 9th. Tne Hunts man, under threats, weie afraid to communicate to the authorU ties the story, but neighbors learned of the facts and informed the police Monday. Two of the Huntsman chil dren on their way from thepost oifice were picked up on the road by two men in a buggy and accused of stealing a pocketbook containing $So. The next night a party of men went to the Huntsman house, and after call ing Huntsman out of bed, drag ged him outside and beat and abused him. Next they carried him to a grave, and putting him in it, covered him with earth. After a time they dug him up again. He was still alive. The two children were also lashed. Huntsman is a respect able, well-to do farmer. GEORGIA JUDGE ASSAULTED. A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR IN AT LANTA WHICH MAY-CAUSE BLOODSHED. Judge George F. Gober, one of the most prominent Judges in Georgia, was assaulted in At lanta, Ga., Monday afternoon by Stephen A. Ryan, formerly the leading dry goods merchant of Atlanta. Ryan used a riding whip, in the handle of which was a small piece of iron. Judge Gober was in the act of boarding a train for his home, in Marietta. He says that he was struck from behind. Ryan says that he touched the Judge on the shoulder first, attracted his atten tion and struck him when he turned round. Judge Gober dc fended himself with an umbrella and the two men fought tor a minute in the street where the Judge was standing as the train was passing. Ryan inflicted three severe blows on the Judge's face and head, and the Judge's umbrella raised a lump on his assailant's forehead. Five years ago Judge Gober sent Ryan to jail for contempt of court in faiK ing- to turn over to a receiver $100,000, which the court thought he had withheld from his assets. Ryan remained in jail for thirteen months. Mr. Ryan says that the attack was not made because of the Judge's official action, but because he was informed that Judge Gober had referred to him as a damned scoundrel in a conversation lately. The affair created a great sen satiou. Half a dozen men went to Atlanta from Marietta to look for Ryan, but were persuaded to return home without further trouble. Judge Gober is an in fluential politician and has a o-reat many devoted friends and many bitter enemies. Hisfriends intimate that they willl aveuge the attack. To Grow Sponges. The Department of State has received through the consular ao-ent at Mytileue, a communica tion from Charalampos Charpios, who calls himself a "merchant and fisherman of sponges." This gentleman desires to ob tain a concession to propagate soones in the waters ot Florida It is his opinion that the waters of Florida can be made to supply the world with sponges. He offers to pay "10 per cent, of the proceeds of his industry during twenty years. - This paper for $1.00 a. year. HOW EVER DID SHE KNOW? WONDERFUL AND CONVINCING REVELATIONS FOR ONLY TWO DOLLARS. Detroit Free Press. Two women with a bag of broken candy and another of peanuts between them sat in a Detroit street car the other day. One of them had just had a "wonderful experience" and was relating it to her companion in a voice loud enough to be heard by every one in the car. A re porter sat opposite, and this is what he heard: "I don't care how much mud folks want to fling at fortune tellers an' cla'rvoyants. I know that some of 'em are genuine. I've just come from one, an' the things she told me fairly took my breath away." "Do tell me about it." "An' mind you, she never laid eyes on me until to-day, an' she told me things no livin' human being could of told her." "What did she tell you?" "Well, first she went off into a trance, and she looked and groaned so awful I was scared at first, but she told ine to be calm. Then she said, 'You are married, aren't you? Now, how'd she know I was married? But, of course, I told her I was. Then she says, 'You have children, haven't you?' Now, how did she know that?" "It was wonderful." "I should say so. Then she up an' says, 'Your husband is a laboring man isn't he?' Now, how'd she know he wasn't a clerk or a doctor or mebbe a bank president? I told her Jim was a laboring man, an' she says, He does not know that you have come here to-day,' and he didn't know a thing about it; but how'd she know that?" "Sure enough ?" "Then she says, 'You have an enemy; a tall, dark-eyed woman," and I know exactly whom she meant. 'And,' she says, 'your husband is a man who would rather be away from home than to home.' Now, how did sh? know that about Jim? For he is always ou the go somewhere. B'longs to six lodges, an' ail that, an' I jaw him good for that. But how did she know but he was a reg'lar home granny ?" "That's o." "Then she says: 'You are fond of roiuf to the theatre and read- ing novels, and I am. You give me a bag of candy and a good, exciting novel and let me go to see a real stirriu' drammy like the "Two Orphans," and' I'm happy, but how did she know that? Then she told me to be. ware of a small, blue-eyed wos man, an' I knew exactly whom she meant. She said I'd be mar ried twice and my next husband would be rollin' in wealth, an' I'd ride in my carriage yet. It was just wonderful the things she told me." "I should say so." "I'll admit that I've been taken in once or twice by these sham clairvoyants; but I d'dn't be grudge this one a penny of the $2 I paid lur, for she was genu uiue. But Jim'd make an awful fuss if he knew I'd spent $2 that way, and I wouldn't dare tell 'im 'bout my second husband. He ain't what you might call one o' the jealous kind, but I don't think he'd like it. It was a won derful experience." Look about you! See for yourself!

A Parabie and nalog'ue. The Gold Standard Compared to Commt n Grist Mills. New Daily Pilot. And this is the parable of the staff of life: In Felicia the Lord had pro vided two grains for bread, and one cf these was called wheat, and the other was called corn, or maize. And the king had opened mills for the grinding of these grains, where both were ground equally, without price and without limit. The land was fertile, yielding both wheat and corn; but the greater yield commonly was of corn, and wheat sold at a higher price among the people because it was scarcer and made finer and whiter loaves. Yet the two grains gave abun dance and happiness. If the wheat lacked, the corn supplied the deficiency; if the corn was scant, the wheat came in answer to the call for bread; so that no man suffered of hunger in Felicia. And the corn was every man's crop. They who could not grow wheat, grew corn, and they who ate no wheat were satisfied with the corn ground freely at the king's mills. Both in quantity and in price the two grains thus co-operated together to feed the people, without possibility of monopoly and extortion. But Mammon, who distribut ed the grains and the flour and the meal thereof to the people, saw how he could control the situation and make a mighty deal in wiieat (the scarcer grain and more to be desired,) if he could persuade the king to close the mills against corn. And so he sent his professors; and his bankers and his scribes and his lawyers to the king, and they said: "Oh, king! wheat is the only food fit for thy people. It abounds; it is healthful, beauti ful and sweet; it is more desired of all men and nations; corn is food only for swine! "Therefore close thy milks against corn, and allow wheat only to be ground therein. So will Felicia wax greater and greater among the nations; and with wheat as the sole and single staff of life, our people will live longer, grow richer and richer, and become the happier as the delicious biscuit shall on every table take the place of the coarse and unsavory ash cake !" So it seemed wise to the king; and forthwith he issued his edict that thenceforth no corn should be ground in any of the mills of Felicia, which should remain open only to the free and unlimited grinding of th golden wheat. For a time all tilings seemed to work well, notwithstanding the edict. But soon the people who had eaten corn bread found that they could not turn their corn into meal, as the mills were closed to everything but wheat. They had to eat wheat or starve; and lo! by reason of discrimina-. tion against it, corn became al most worthless in exchange for wheat as everything else had also become by reason of the mill edict. And they who had eaten wheat only found that it had risen enormously in price, not simply because it had been made the sole staff of life, but because Mammon and his men had corn ered the wheat product, which had now become easy, as this product was much less than that of corn and as corn had been ex cluded from the mills and the bread-market, and could no louder come to the rescue of wheat and its consumers. Thus it came to pass that even the king's baker was sorely per plexed to furnish the accustoms ed loaves for the Royal table. All the king's household and res tainers, who had formerly been served with corn-pone, had now to be fed on flour. So that with the Royal Garn ers bursting with corn, there was scant bread on the Royal table! But Mammon & Company had store of wheat, and for a while they cheerfully took the king's orders (or bonds) in exchange for wheat; but the people's orders or bonds were disdained Mams mon & Co., doable locking their wheat bins against all popular demands, insomuch that the people starved, while the king feasted and kept a reserve or surplus of wheat by a liberal is sue of Royal orders or bonds warranted to produce wheat and nothing but wheat! At length, when the people had been driven to the last ex tremity, and a famine prevailed in the laud, even the king's bonds were refused for wheat by Mammon & Co , unless he would also put in pawn his crown, his sceptre and his throne ! And then the ey-s and ears of the kimr were partially opened to his prostrated people crying for the re-opening of the mills to corn. "We do not care for pound cake!" shrieked the people. "Give us corn bread lest we perish in the midst of our abun dance !" But the sleek Mammon with his portly professors, his bloated bankers, his greasy scribes, and his lusty lawyers, talked all day and night to the kiug: - "These ignorant and half educated people do not know what ails them, nor what they need," said Mammon & Co. "Besides, they are hired to starve themselves and make all this outcry by these fellow wdio raise such cuors mous crops of corn. The corn producers alone will be benefit ted by opening the mills to corn. Just think wdiat an enormous pile of money they will make if corn be again allowed as a bread stuff! We, on the contrary, know all about grain and bread, and from our position are utter ly uninterested. We neither grow nor grind anything !" "Kxcept the people and the king !" interjected the king's fool. Scorning the uuseenly inter jection, Mammon & Co., went on: "The people foolishly say that they do not want pound cake, and clamor for corn bread; but we who know, Oh, king, de clare to you that corn bread is injurious to the digestion, fit only for hogs, and that pound cake, as our experiences proves, is far better for human food. It is true that the people say that they can get no pound-cake, that it is beyond their means, is scarce, &c. Yet as we can testify conclusively, there is plenty of pound-cake, for we have got it! Yes; we have abundance of pound-cake, and it is only a pop ular delusion which inspiies the cry for ash-cake and corn-pone; for if they can't buy our pounds cike how can they buy corn bread?" Quoth the king's fool: "The more grist the mills ,i;riiid, The more mouths it will Jill." "Besides," continued Mam mon & Co., still scorning the fool, "how can your majesty find it in your heart to deprive us of our monopoly for the benefit of a dirty rabble?" "That, to be sure," said the king, would be conclusive, but for the consideration that if the body perishes, what will become of the head? Iam the head, of Felicia, the people are the body of the State; already I find it als most impossible to supply my self with necessary wheat; als ready I am in bonds to your masters of wdieat, and now you tell me I must pawn my soverigns ty to get further supplies. "Weil, you thus force me to feel that I and my people are one; to remember that the public mills do not belong to me alone, nor to you, but to the people; and I at once rc-open the mills to corn believing that it will be much better to live, even ou ash-cake, than to starve myself or people in an effort to make poundcake the sole staff of life." Mammon & Co. retired dis comfited, venting dire threats of ruin and revenge; but even they could not reverse the laws of trade, of supply and demand. And soon it came to pass that bread so abounded that even the poor did not lack for wheat, it being found that the best ass surance for poundscake is iu the free and unlimited supply of corn meal for ash-cake.

Pure blood is their proper food, and pure blood comes by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which is thus the greatest and best nerve tonic. It also builds up the whole sys tem. Hood's Pills are the favorite cathar tic, easy to take, easy to operate. North Carolina Safe For Bryan. News S: Observer. The arrangement has been perfected by which Mr. Bryan will receive the votes of allot the silver men in North Carolina, thereby assuring the electoral vote ot tins biate to nun bv a large majority. Under our system of govern ment, by which the voters vote for electors, who in turn cast their votes for President, a con dition may easily exist by which one who lias the support of a very large majority of the voters mav fail to receive the electoral vote. The electors, who receive tlie highest number of votes iu tie State are elected, and unless all the silver men vote for the same electors it would have been in the range of possibilities that with near a two-thirds majority of the voters of the State in favor of Bryan and silver, the McKin ley electors would have been elected. The earnestness of the masses of the people of the State in their advocacy of bimetallism has made itself felt. The poli ticians have been compelled to come to an agreement; and now all the adherents of free silver with breathe easily, assured that their votes for the people's cham pion will be counted for him. This arrangement is in no sense a fusion. It is simply the uecesssary arrangement of details which under our electoral sys tem is necessary in order that all voters who favor Bryan may have their votes count in the electoral college. The plan has thrown the Re publicans into confusion. It was Mark Raima's desire to have three electoral tickets in this State, and by that means he hoped to obtain a plurality of votes for the McKinley electors. His schemes will not work, and the only use he can put his money to in this State now, is to try to elect the gold bug candi date for Congress, and Prichard for Senator. The masses in this State will let it be understood that the manhood of the State will assert itself, and his plan to elect gold Congressmen by the use oi money will fail as well as his plan to carry the State for Mc Kinley. This is a glad day in North Carolina, all the friends of Bryan and of financial reform feel now assured of victory, for they feel sure that every voter, can cast his vote for Bryan, knowing that it will be counted for the candi date of his choice. Ayer's Karsaparilla is not a secret preparation. Any physician may have the formula on application. The secret of its success as a medicine lies in its extraordinary power to cleanse the blood of impurities and cure the most deep-seated cases of blood-disease. Only Seven. There are now seven presi dential tickets iu the field namely: McKinley and Hobart, Bryan and Sewall, Bryan and Watson, Levering and Johnson, Beutley and Southgate, Matchett and Maguire, Palmer and Buck uer.

Tuesday afternoon, in a gamb ling den, at Savannah, Ga., Bris tow Graham shot and instantly killed Ben Wilson. Both men are colored. A quarrel arose over a game. Graham went out, returned with a musket loaded with buckshot and nails, and fired into Wilson's head, blow- ing half of it off. Do you remember the adage that "Prevention is better than cure?"

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eu stachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed. Deafness is the result, aid unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
