A mania for murdering each other seems to have broken out among the" negroes who live in- the counties surrounding Selma. where in the last two weeks there have not lieeu less than 20 negroes killed by other negroes. Thru were reported yesterday, one leiug near Brown's station, where a negro man met his paramour in the cottonlield. pulled out a kuife and stablied her through the heart. The other two occurred on south side where a negro man got into a row with a negro preacher at a protracted meeting and called the preacher out of the church. When on the outside they both pulled their pistols and when the guns were empty both lay on the ground mortally wounded. They died in a few hours. ltaiiis May Hoot Them Constantinople, Oct. 24. Cold rains are falling in the district where the brigands, who abducted Miss E!ler Stone, the American missionary, are concealed and a prolonged stay in the mountains Is lelieved to lie almost impossible, even for the brigands. Hence, it is considered likely that they will hasten to release the captive as soon as they can secure the ransom, and then disperse to their homes. No word has come from the missionaries, though W. V. Peeet, treasurer of the mission here, to whom they would communicate, is still hopeful. Mr. Peet is not expecting news until he is asked to forward the gold, which it is estimated will weigh between oUO and 400 pounds. daily market kepout Prevailing Prices l-'or Grain, Proviaions and Livestock on Oct, 23.

4 POOR OLDJIMrlr?

1 1 I" BY M. QUAD Copyright. 1501, by C 3. Lewis. I was running on fast freight t Ere. man, anl niv engineer wa; :i wait nan) ed ColvUle. He was ten vVfirs biv siior aud also an old bachcV-" .fau wS what everybody called a jus re tttnn. He Lad lots of sentiment for a "plain, rated ura ted man and a cotiscience ',sq tender that he wouldn't have knowingly Uurt tbe feelings of an Indian. He was a sort of "daddy" for ; AW miles along the line and had tlie esteem of officials and men alike. The idea that Jim would fall In love at his ag would have been laughed to scorn by all who knew him, aud yet he not oniy "went soft"' on a girl, but made tiie mistake thst old bachelors often do." Sue was a '-bit named Mary lUaine. it-ily half b":s age and a coquette and a li:rt. We lig tired it out that there was iii:re sympathy than love on bis part and ttiat she was marrying him instead of a younger' and better looking man because he had several thousand dollars in the bank and would baby her up They were married on the quiet one day. and for a few weeks old Jim's face carried a look of contentment and things went well in his little home at Tine Hill. - By and by I noticed a change to anxiety, end at times tbe engineer was preoccupied and nbsentminded. I never asked Jim or any other man a question, but through the gossip of my landlady 1 learned that the young wife , 4 "V'tiJ.W'-"2- ."ilit -Ml'"! i . , i 1 r 'a i i. .tjrMam I TURNED AND 6PRASO FROM THE CAB. was very extravagant In her ways and was given to tits of sulks when reproved. It was also said that she was fond of going to parties and balls- and was being generally criticised. Every week for many weeks I heard some new gossip, and. while realizing that It must be exaggerated, there was enough truth to make me anxious about my old pard's happiness. I bated to believe the tales, and yet I found many others hinting that the young wife was not playing a straight game with the trusting husband. Such an affair is one of tbe meanest on earth to meddle with. It Is none of your business tven If you are a brother, aad yet you feel that It is and want to do something. 1 wouldn't have had old Jim deceived, and yet bow could I go to him with tbe gossip? By and by a passenger engineer named Frazer came to live at the Hill. He was a man of 28. good looking good company and free handed. II knew Jim well, and be soon got acquainted with the wife. I threw myself in Frazer' s way one day and told him what public gossip said aDd left It to him whether be shouldn't stop before the home was wrecked. He laughed In contempt. When I became Indignant, he became defiant, and the result was a fight in which I battered blm op nntil he was in bed for a week. Old Jim was sure to hear of the row. of course, and the day after It happened he looked at me In a queer way as we took our engine out of tbe stable. I felt sure he was going to speak about the fight, bet he checked himself after a word or two. He bad not only been told about tbe scrap, but what bad led up to It as welL and there was only one of two courses for bini to take. He must either bid ate mind my own business and let him attend to bis own domestic affairs or take It for granted that I was acting la a friendly spirit and be put upon his guard for the future. When be remained silent. I knew that he bad adopted the latter course, 1 do not know what man or woman my chum took Into bis confidence, but it was some one who kept bim thoroughly posted. He must have reproved, argued and commanded, but tbe girl wife either openly defied him or sljly deceived bim. Frazer was less bold after tbe row. and for a time it seemed as If hriuoDy and happiness might be restored. It was all a trick, however. n he part of an infatuated, vain miraled young wife on the one hand and an unprincipled man of the world f n the other, a man who cared notj what wreck be left behind biiu. 1 We were Just leaving our westers

-.?' v

j terminus on morning when old Jira received a telegram. He iued the j teiegruiu with steady band.' read tu I message without a tremor and then twist ed It up and lighted hi pipe wit a 1 St. And yet I came to know that th j telegram told him that his wife and j Fraser were eloping together and had i tickets for the day express lound 1 west. His Imperturbability deceived I tue, and I did not give the meswage a

cecond thought. A man must havenerves of 6teel to con a message like that and never blanch. At noon, when t we reached l nomasviue, we pot orxier to run to Bascombs and there siuf track for the express. "We could do It rith three or four minutes to spare. scoui's was not even a station, but a siding half a mile long ou the prairK and we must do our owu switching. For three miles beyond it was a straight track, and then it went curving and turning among the hills and over a lrawiiug creek. Wheu we had come witliln a mile of the sldiris. I j loked fur Jim to begin to slow up. but be m;ivi- so move. Half a minute aud I lie even iut reased the pihhhI. and when tiiiwtod in li:s ear uc waipvi u e oacK. We l1.'1" !an' Mt vV of 2' ' i miles an uour ana gaining on tnat ev iery minute, and as 1 at hist grabbed ijjim's arm he pullel a revolver from his breast and motioned for me to stand back. ' The man had not gone crazy,,, be had not misunderstood his orders, but what was he doing i;i thus passing the siding?" fit a 'run of three- . -or four, miles we must meet the express. For a second I thought of attacking him with a poker, but he looked over his shoulder at me with a grim smile and motioned .with his head for me to jump. Then jt" occurred to me that the train had got away from him. aud I turned and sprang from the cab. It was soft prairie for the fall, but it seemed to me that 1 turned over and over 5tK times before the breath was finally knocked out of my body. When my senses returned. I heard the hiss of steam and the shrieks aud cries of Injured men and women, and I bad staggered along the track less than a mile when I came upon the frightful wreck. The engines of the express and freight had met head ou. and 52 people had been killed aud TO injured In the awfut smash. It was the most terrible railroad wreck for a score of years. I helied to get old Jim's crushed and mutilated body out, and I holied to get out the crushed and mutilated bodies of his wife and Frazer, but It was days before I got at the true facts lu the case. Finding himself betrayed, theold man had deliberately brought about the collision that he might have revenge on the guilty pair and Ik? wiiied out at the same time. If he thought of the innocent who would suffer as well, he had no pity. He must have hated the whole world as well as those who had directly wronged him. It was an awful thing he did. but he offered his own life with the sacrifice, and somehow I have alwnys felt that, even though he presented such a cool, calm front to me, the fires of Insanity must have been blazing In his brain every minute after reading that telegram. Tbe Anaerleaa as Ortorooa. The average adult American is a statistical octoroon. If the blood In the veins of all our people, white anl black, were pooled aud redistributed, each person would have about seven parts white aud one part negro blood. The white strain In him, moreover. Is by no means purely American. White strains of foreign origin, derived from Germany, Ireland. Scandinavia, Canada, Great Britain and the countries of southern Europe, are collectively more powerful In his composition than is the negro strain. Thus, going back only one generation, we find him to be a composite, tbe creation of widely differing bloods and nationalities. Tbe peoples of the earth, from tbe Kongo under the equator to tbe North cape of Europe, bare contributed, either Immediately or remotely, to his composition. But with It all we find the Anglo-Saxon strain the dominant one. His political Institutions, bis laws, his social conditions and his mental characteristics, his power of Initiative and his Independence of thought and action are Anglo-Saxon, sharpened and Intensified by fresh contact with nature under new and untried conditions. It is a strange and a gratifying thing to witness, in connection with this mixture of blood, tbe complete dominance of the Anglo-Saxon strain, and1 it argues well for its strength and vitality as well as for the welfare of the country which he occupies aud governs. Everybody's Magazine. Has Veatilatloa la Bttwika r. Most of tbe new bouses ia Bombay have a fine show of windows oa the outside, but no corresponding opening to allow a current of air to pas through. Tbe mean annual temperature is 79.13 degrees F and tbe mean relative humidity 77 per cent. The mean annual range of temperature Is 4jJH degrees, but there are periods during the raios when the diurnal range of temperature does not exceed 2 degrees, and. unless there Is wind, ventilation is practically stopped because the outer air and that in the buildings are reduced to nearly one temperature. With tbe thermometer at 82 to 84 degrees, and the air heavily charged with moisture, the surplus beat of the human body escapes too slowly, and much discomfort ensues. As It Is not possible to dry the air In an ordinary bouse, the usual remedy is to produce a current by means of a punka, and although the influence of this Is very local. It has been found that in tb -worst Bombay weather life is made tolerable in its current. - The " chiel drawback of the punka Is the punka walla. He is dirty, unreliably, especial ly at nisrhL and his work: counting and night, costs 24 rupees per moctti for a single ponka. Collier's.
