' Senator Chandler, from the senate com mittee on privileges and elections, Mon day eu tted to the senate the report of , that (connittee in the case of Senator Clark, of Montana. "The finding of the ' committee is that the election to the sen ate of William A.

Is thought to be doubtful. Jim and Berry Howard, indicted for the murder of Goe bel, say they will never be taken by the authorities. They are entrenched in the mountains with over 100 feudists, who swear the accused men shall never be ar - rested. Capt. John Powers, also under indictment, was discovered in the moun tains Tuesday, guarded by 10 mountain men..- Beckham is said to be anxious to send militia to the moun tains to arrest tne Howards and Powers, but no company has volunteered for tne service. The men cannot be ar rested unless they surrender voluntarily or unless one or two regiments are sent. and then the task would be uncertain, as there are so many places of seeority from capture wbieh tne fugitive can eeek. Late reports- from the famine districts of India say that the misery existing there Is indescribable and unparalleled, and that the present relief is inadequate. They add that the mortality among the cattle is also so severe that the authorities are trying to1 adapt farm implements so that human power can replace that of bul locks. Such a drastic measure had never before been necessary, even in the great est scarcity of animals. - it is announced alsojfihat the natives are developing ugly feelings, and are attacking Europeans, a an-eat crowd Friday murderously attack ed - a party of soldiers at Shahpur, the military center oi tne nortnwest provinces- The soldiers were rescued with difficulty and in an unconscious condi tion. One district lost over one million cattle out of 1.300,000 head, and almost numberless human beings, were found dead from starvation. In addition, chil dren wefe found wandering-in all direc tions, homeless, naked and emaciated' and caies were reported of children being sold. The official reDorts fully confirm the worst stories of the terrible nature of the distress. STRIKING A MATCH. Htovrlnsr How Wttle i Tklagw Mar at .,. Time Decide a Man'm Fortune. ., The truth of the saying that little things may oftentimes play an Impor tant part to men's affairs when the men least expect it was illustrated one day recently.. "See. that young man over there," re marked .' an Insurance friend of his, pointing: to one of bis clerks working away industriously , at a desk in' anoth er room.; "Well, lie got his plage in my o$3ce through the striking of a match. although: he doesn't .know it. VI . was standing; at the entrance of this building about a month ago wait ing for a friend to come down the le vator, when, that young man approach' ed- mo with a letter of recommendation and an application for employment bad made it known aTjtew days, before that t needed : another clerks and be had heard of It. However, I had al most made up my mind to take on. a young man who had -been to see mo the day before and was about to tell the last applicant so, when he pulleix a match from (one of his pocketa to light a cigar ne ' naa been smoking, put which had gone, out "Sorry, sir,' he said, balancing him self on one. foot, while he lifted the other so as to admit of his striking the match on the heel of Ms shoe. 'Sorry, for I would like very much to work for you, and i tmnk i would nave maae you a godd jclerk.' The match striking incident made me think bo too. Right at the young man's elbow was 'a great Italian mar ble column upon which were the marks showing where many matches had been struck by vandals too utterly Indiffer ent to the rights of others to refrain from Indelibly-stamping their vandal ism unon property to restore which would have cost 'hundreds of dollars. It would have been the most natural thing in the world for many a man to have scratched that match on the mar ble'i column: and the :: fact that 5 this young man cbose'to use the, heel of his shoe . Instead showed that he was thoughtful and conscientious, two very excellent traits. I was so impressed that I told him to come and see me. and the result of the visit was his se curing the position. And his month, in my office has shown that I made no mistake In sizing him pp'Phlladel phia Inquirer. ,,,; Does It Pay to Buy Cheap? v, A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous results of throatand lung troubles.

When Senator Butler's atttentlon called to the special in Saturday's Post from Kaieign, fie said: "X . spurn Skin ner's charge with the" same contempt tnat tne People's party state convention spurned it on last Wednesday, It seems that he went to the convention for no other purpose than to make an attack on me. I did not dignify him by notic ing him or replying to him, I did not have to. The convention hissed him off the platform, and unanimously voted down every proposition that he made.' wnen senator Butlers -attention was called to the other part of the communi cation, to the" effect that the Populist convention was not for Bryan, but was for McKinley, he said: r , "The convention unanimously instruct ed its delegates to vote for '; the nomina tion of Mr. Bryan. Had it not been for the Populist vote, Mr. Bryan would not have gotten the electoral vote of 'North Carolina last time, and it will be the Pop ulist vote, that will give it, to him this time,y The Democratic party cannot and will not carry the State fr.iim." Senator Butler further said that he was satisfied that Dr. Thompson, the Peo ple's party candidate for governor, was misquoted in some respects , in the spe cial reierreo to.wasmngton 'ost. A lot of the delegates to the conven tion wore federal office-holders and those hoping to hold federal offices There is no doubt tbat many who masquerade as Populist leaders are nothing more at tears tlian McKinley KepuN leans. Tbe Populist leaders in Lenoir county prefer McKinley to Bryan. : v iuuso ronuiiBus who iavork uryan rather than McKinley will vote for Bryan electors. The Populist bosses are doing ail tney can to tool as many nonest rop ullsts as they can and will so act as to aid McKinley in North Carolina, but in spite of Butler and the ; other Repub lican sneaks, North Carolina's electoral vote will be given toBryan. The Demo crats are in the majority in North Caro lina, and after next August the white people will control ; tha State. " Butler and Pritchard and their gang of revenue doodles won't be in it at .all bo far as state politics are concerned. BATTLE AMD BLOOD. Otis' Account of Recent Fighting In the Philippines. ?

Will Why Bryan Should Be and BeEleoted. Nw York Journal. ' . , Mr.. Bryan should be and will be elected, because it is no longer mere party sun- cess, but the national welfare that de mands his election. - The country wants' a truly Democratic, a truly American president -a man who represents the American idea of equality a man who ; stands for equal . rights, equal opportunities and equal conditions for all. . ; ' '.; , '; i We have had enough snobbery in our srovernment: we have had enough cor ruption. We must make an end of government that stands for privileges to the-powerful, for favoritism to the fort unatethat heaps blessings upon the rirh and burdens noon the poor. We must make an end of a government that distinguishes between the social po sitions and even the geograpnicai situ a tions of its citizens. W e must return to American ideas to the principles of Washington and Jefferson. Conducted on these principles this country has the greatest future of any that history tells of. Conducted on these principles it will include all the western hemisphere and dominate the whole world. - But we must not rot before we are ripe. The Journal is the leading advo cate of expansion, but only that the Union may grow and the advantages of liberty, equality and .opportunity be ex tended to the greatest number of peo ples. A country that governs its new possessions as subject provinces does not expand, It merely encroacnes. The Journal is in favor of the 'election of an American president that American expansion may become possible. We must remain true to the American spirit tbe spirit of Washington who said ".Every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest should be indismantlv frowned noon:" the spirit of Jefferson, who demanded "equal and ex act justice to all men, oi whatever state or persuasion, religions or political; peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none;" the spirit of Lincoln, who declared that this government could "not. endure per manently half slave and naif iree." ' As the best representative of this spirit, fitting head of a nation that has citizens, bnt not subjects, The Journal will iup- Sort William Jennings Bryan for presi ent of the United.Btates. . , Upland BJee. t . ; : : Every farmer living east of Hillsboro or Charlotte who has any naturally moist land, should plant a little rice up land this year; Uecent reports from Ala bama claim a yield of TO bushels oi rough rice per acre and two tons of straw. The present market price for upland rice, in chaff, is 65 cents per bushel. The crop is as salable as cotton. The United States Imports more than half the rice it consumes, although there is a duty- of 2 cents per pound. The straw; When well cured, is nearly as good as baled timothy for horses and mules. , - , Rice with shells removed, but not pol ished, is a strong food - and far more wholesome than corn meal for inhabi tants of a warm climate. As a fatten ing food for fowls and pigs, rice, has no equal; . There are on the market several excellent hand and power i machines for removinor the shell or husk from rice. These cost from f 50 to $200. The larger sizes are ; suitable" for ? grist mills tbe smaller for farm use. - . For uplands the white Carolina seed is best. It should be soaked 24 hours be fore planting and then be dropped In freshly made drills 20 inches apart and covered 2 inches deep. 1 Cultivate with a shallow scrape. One hand weeding will be necessary.- Tbe erop must be kept as clean as cotton. Cut tbe crop as soon as the seed is in the tough dough stage. Tie in bundles and : shock as f wheat. Thresh from shock as Boon as the straw is completely cured. - The grain should be aired once in the sunshine before being put in bins to prevent heating, ' r ; ' One bushel oi rough rice or padoy win sow one acre.
