Company C was a portion of the Ninth Regiment of the United States infantry, which went to China at the time of the Boxer outbreak, and while there per formed valiant service. Later the troops went to Manila and were engaged in provost duty in that city. During the past summer a battalion of the Ninth was sent to Samar. All the officers connected with Company C, which was almost wiped out by the insurgents, are named in Gen. Chaffee's dispatch, there being no second lieutenant now with tne company. (Japt. Thomas W. Connell, who com manded the company, was ap pointed to the Milhtary Academy from New York in September, 1889, and First Lieutenant Bum pus was appointed to the army from Massachusetts, having served as a private in Company A, First Massachusetts heavy artillery. Surgeon Griswold is a recent ad dition to the army,' haying crossed the Pacific ocean with Adit.-Gen. Corbln on his recent trip to the Philippines. During the trip Gen. Corbin visited the island of Samar. It was just seven weeks ago to-night, he remarked, when discussing the disaster to Company 0, that he was talking with Gen. Hughes at Iloilo about the condition of af fairs in the islands. The point whore Company C was surprised, be said, was a considerable dis tance from Gen. Hughes' head quarters.

The adjoining building was in great danger and saved only by hard work. Both build ings were owned by T. B. Walker and valued at $4,000 and insured for 12,800. Barton Lasater's stock of lumber was valued at 112,000 and fully insured. The loss of T. M. Tomkins, the pro prietor of the hotel, was $300 on furniture with $500 insurance, and $500 in cash destroyed. Many of his guests lost articles of value and some had narrow escapes.

A great deal of freight, such as dry goods, station ery, tobacco, household furniture, etc., was stored in the building waiting to be handled. The loss is estimated at from $4,500 to $6,- 000 oh the freight, and from $1, 000 to $1,200 on the building. A s there have been several fires here recently, the people met this morning and passed resolutions de nouncing incendiarism, etc., pro vided the fire was of incendiary origin. A motion was made and carried, in case the fire was of incendiary origin, that a reward of $250 be offered for the arrest and convic tion 01 any person or persons guilty of arson. The chairman appointed J. E. Kennedy and C. Bowden to secure the $250 by taking subscriptions from citizens and business men. King of Farce. The king ot farce comedies that avalanche of pure unadulteated fun, "They Want Me," will be the attraction at Walker's Opera-house Friday night, October 4. The same strong cast that for the past two seasons has been associated with this celebrated comedy is again to evidence this season. While J, H. La Pearl is one f the best known managers the stage can boast of, strange to say, none of his attractions have ever before visited the Southern States. Se lecting the best of comedies under his control and the cream ot the actors and actresses from the hun dreds he employs he concluded to ntroduce himself to the theatre- going people of the South, hoping and trusting his efforts will be re warded by those words so dear to managerial ears come again. 'They Want Me" is now so well known by all who keep in touch with the stage it is hardly neces sary to outline jts good qualities. The fatnous independent Hotel, he e pi ting horse-race agence at which old-time neighbors ventilate a grudge, Henreich Mayer and bis troubles, Mary Ann Simpkins, the poor, silly Arkansas girl, which Miss Nellie Carman has made fa mous from ocean to ocean, tier faithful dog Topple and the cele brated symphony orchestra, are a few of the features, v The comedy is generously inter spersed 'with specialties, the mer riest and the best the vaudeville stage is heir to, and rendered by artists who have no paV in the comedy.

Close upon the heels of congratulations and pledges of hearty support have come importunities for the desig nation of this or that man for this or that position in the public ser vice. And, though he has not yet been Chief Magistrate for two weeks, Mr. Roosevelt finds that questions of policy are accumulat ing at a rate that promises to make them mountainous by the time Congress is ready to begin its ses sion of legislation. One of the leading problems will involve the Philadelphia post mastership. Both Senators Quay and Penrose are said to be unaltera bly opposed to the present incum bent, Mr. Hicks. Senator Penrose has already presented his card at the White House and had an audi ence with the President, and it is presumed in political circles that he made known both his opposi tion to Mr. Hicks and his nomina tion of a successor. The present Quaker City postmaster has admin istered his office in an eminently satisfactory way, but this is a mi nor consideration in the opinion of some of the Republican leaders of the Keystone Commonwealth, for they contend that Senatorial courtesy gives them the inaliena ble right to name another man when the term of the present offi cial has expired. Even the Post master-General admits that the Philadelphia office has been raised to the highest state of efficiency by Mr. Hicks, but when the combined efforts of the Senatorial represent ative of the State are put forward to decapitate the incumbent, and when it is considered that the ap proval of the Senate is necessary to confirm a candidate, it looks as though even a strenuous man would have to yield to the pressure. Then comes the collectorship of the port of New York to worry The executive. The late President reappointed Georee R. Bid well. ?or fear that Mr. Roosevelt may select another beneficiary, Messrs. ?latt, Woodruff and Quigg have become most uncomfortable. In asmuch as they were partially in fluential in forcing the present Chief Magistrate into the second place on the Republican national ticket with a view to sidetracking him as a Presidential possibility, they now fear retaliation. It is said that they have sent a whole detachment of messengers to the Capital, each generously supplied with olive branches and carrying message to the effect that it would please them greatly to have the hatchet permanently interred. here will be a nervoug galaxy of Republican leaders in the Empire State for sometime to come It is re ported that the President received the floral tributes and messengers of good will with great courtesy, but that he failed to indicate his position in the momentous matter. There is no way to compel ac tion or to secure a pledge and the New York combination fully real izes that fact; so they must wait patiently as they can for the arrival of that time when action must be taken. In the meantime, the row of notables on the political anxious seat are furnishing an in teresting spectacle. Uespue tne tragic cnanges at Washington, interest in Democrat

ic l residential possibilities tor 1904 has not been temporarily eliminated. t U a significant fact that Republican leaders who drop into the Capital from time to time and they are coming now in droyei discuss the matter with quite as much speculative .energy as their opponents. Democrats are silent but confident. They know that the crisis will bring the man. A great party is never without a conspicuous champion and there is such a quantity of good Democratic timber to be brought into requisition when the time arrives that the future may be considered with equanimity. Among the well-known repre sentatives of the party, who are now here, the question of candi dates is being confidentially con sidered. There is no need of her alding names at this early day, but the disciples of Jackson and Jefferson may rest assured that the hour will bring the leader and that the competitors for the high honor are sufficiently numerous and capable to guarantee a choice that will mean united battle front and a brave fight for victory. Although handicapped by the sudden death of his chief advocate, Rear Admiral Schley will continue to press his claim before the naval court of inquiry with the determi nation that characterized his en gagement with the Spanish fleet off the coast of Cuba. During the past week considerable testimony, pro and con, has been adduced, but none to weaken the belief that Schley performed hisduty and even triumphed over the limita tions that confronted him in the way of red tape strung out from bureaus at Washington. The acknowledgment of a Navy Department witness that the Gov ernment charts are inaccufate and practically worthless was a strong point in favor of the popular ad miral. The counsel for the victor of Santiago succeeded in scoring another bullseye yesterday when they forced into evidence a mes sage from Sampson instructing Schley to remain at Cienfuegos during the blockade and to ignore the orders of the Navy Depart ment if they interferred with nec essary operations, ben ley s at torneys base their case largely up on this and believe that in itself it is sufficient to prove that their client did not disobey orders as al leged by those jealous of his fame. They contend that in the pursuit and the defeat of the Spanish fleet he acted according to the demands of the situation and the instruction of his superior officer, who did not happen to be within hailing dis tance when the Americans reduced Cervera's ships to junk. Admiral Schley has received from all parts of the country sym pathetic telegrams concerning the death of his leading legal defender, coupled with the advice to fight on. While Schley is by nature a last pitch man, the knowledge that the American people are following his case closely and with responsive sympathy has served to encourage both the admiral and his energetic attorneys. After an absence of three months, during which he made an investigating tour of the Philip pines, Adjutant General Corbin has returned to his desk at Wash ington. In presenting his views as to conditions in the archipelago, he is very optimistic, but cer tain of the statements made by him indicate that there is a long and thorny path "before the Ameri can authorities in the islands ere the Filipinos can be completely subdued and peaceful conditions established. General Corbin ac knowledges that outside v of the Island of Luson there is a great deal of trouble, necessitating mili tary operations on a considerable scale. He also admits that it will be a full year before the army can be safely redqoed to 25,000 men and that that number of troops must be returned in the islands for a Jong period, "for moral ef fect," In addition, he states that from $600,000 to $700,000 will be required to provide permanent quarters for the soldiers who are to terminate the revolutionary kibits of the natives. ASSASSIN CZ0LG0SZ TALKS OF HIS CRIME "Tes, I am Sorry I Killed the rresi dent." He Says, "Bat I Was All Stirred Up." In its report of the taking of Czolosz to the Auburn prison the Buffalo Express of Saturday gives the following intensely interesting report of an in terview witn tne assassin by one of its reporters and one ofi the New York World: "Is there any message or word you desire to leave to the public or anything you want to tell the peo pie?" "I do not know," said Czolgosz, sullenly, then suddenly looking up he said: "I wish the people to know I am sorry for what I did." "Was it a mistake!" asked the Express reporter. "Yes, it was a mistake and it was wrong, xeu tnem it was wrong," said Czolgosz. "it you had it to Uo over again "No, I would not," interrupted Czolgosz, "If I had it to do over again I never would do it. But it is too late now to talk about that." CZOLGOSZ SORRY. "Are you sorry?" He was silent. "Speak, Leon," said Jailer Mitchell. "Are you sorry?" "Yes, I am sorry I killed the resident," he said. "Why did you do it?" "I do not know, I can not tell you. l was all stirred up," be said. These words could be heard plainly by others in the car. All the sixteen men in the Sheriffs party witnessed the conversation. "What stirred you up?" No answer. "Was it what others said?" "I was alone in what 1 did," said Czolgosz, and he turned and added earnestly, "and honestly, there was no conspiracy. I told the Judge the truth to-day. No one else urged me or told me to do it. 1 did it myself." "At the trial "There was one mistake about the trial," be interrupted. "It was that I did not go to Niagara Falls to kill the President." How long had you been plan ning it?" Silence. Jailer Mitchell en couraged him. "I only thought of killing him for about one day before I did it," said Czolgosz. "But I was alone. No one else had anything .to do with it and I have nothing to say to any who may think that what I did was a wise and good thing." "It was not." "Tell na why you did it?" Silence. Did anyone in Patterson" "I don't know anyone in Patter- mim m mm TAILOR son," he replied. Do you know Count Maltatesta Or Mme. lirisigiou asked Mr. Seibold. "No, I do not know either of them.

Complaint was made by a dealer against the vending of wall paper in the the city by parties without license or privilegre, and measures adopted to enforce the laws relat ing thereto. A petition was also read protest ing against the use of the Public School building as a lecture hall or place of public amusement for money.

Matters are growing hotter and hotter in connection with the great Jackson Street Fair, which takes place October 21 to 26, inclusive, and the unmistakable indications at present are that Jackson will have the biggest crowd on her hands that week that has ever been known in her history. 1 It was esti mated last year that 62,000 stran gers visited Jackson during the week of the Street Fair, and this year there seems to be, from all reports coming in, no doubt but that the crowd will reach over 100, 000. The three railroads leading to Jackson have established a rate of one fare for the round trip from all points for the week, and the territory through which they lead is being covered with handsome pictorial paper in more prolusion than any circus would do the work, The attractions at the Street Fair this year will be more numerous and much stronger in quality than any that have ever been seen at a Street Fair in the South.

L, Hamilton came to the Commercial Bank in Union City with a note for $250. signed by C. R. Wade. W. H. Wade and his father-in-law, W. H. Montgomery. At the expiration of the first six months the note was renewed and the interest paid, and a second time renewed without any suspicion of irregularity. But when a call was made for the interest upon the expiration of the next six months, the proceedings led to the discovery of a forgery. The notice was forwarded to Oklahoma, where Hamilton had gone. He ac knowledged receipt ot same and mailed check on ft bank at Norman to cover the amount. Everything I went smoothly until the check was returned to Norman for collection The bank refused to honor the check, which was returned to the Commercial Bank here. Immedi ately the sureties were notified at Kenton, who reported the signa tures a counterfeit and the note forgery. Sheriff Finch was quietly apprised of the facts and a second demand for payment sent to Ham ilton. This time he complied with a check which the Norman bank honored. This done the sheriff at that place was notified to place Hamilton under arrest until Sheriff Finch could reach Oklahoma, and Wednesday the party arrived with the prisoner and he was placed in the Obion County jail.

Cotton pickiug is the order of the nay at tins time and the roads are titonged on Saturdays and Sun days with that specimen of human lty tnat possesses the kinky hair and spreading foot. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Conder, of Kentucky t$end, were visiting- iu our neighborhood Sunday. Mr. Con der states that cotton is making a much better yield than had hereto- iuic uccb anticipated in His vicinity idst ounaay night wtiiie engag- cu in a crap-game, Tom Smith and Green Greer had some trouble which resulted in a shooting affra v. It seems that Tom Smith, who is a mere boy, and small to his age, was not "lucky," and lost money to the amount of $6. He asked Greer to let h;m have some money, whereup mi uiccr asitea mm 11 tie was broke. The reply was in the af firmative, upon which Greer pitch ed one dollar back to him. This seemed unsatisfactory to Smith, who very plainly stated he would take none if he could not get more man inai. ureer tlien asked him it he had won the money if he would have kept it, and he replied mat ne wouia. "Then, says Greer, 'I have won your money fair and I am going to keep it." Some words followed and Smith told him to give his money back or he would kill him, and he was told that he would have to kill; whereupon Smith drew his gun and shot, the ball passing entirely through the lett lung; tiring two other shots in to the night air, he flew. Monday night at 12 o'clock Constable Rob Dunning and Sheriff Dillard arrest ed Smith a few miles below Point Pleasant, on the Missouri side of the river. He was placed in jail at Tiptonvine Tuesday morning, Mrs. Metta Dublin and son Erie; Misses Mandie Dublin, Daisie and Mandie VVray, visited Mrs. Kate and Misa Mattie Haley Friday Miss Beulah Buckalew spent fcunday with Miss Ollie Dunning Vernon Dunning and his sisters, Kate and Mamie, spent Sunday witn tneir grandparents in the Happy Hollow vicinity.

PROSPECTUS. he Town of Wickliffe, Ky. Wickuffe, Ky., was founded in 1880, twenty-one years ago, and is now a thriving, prosperous town of 1,(111 Inhabitants. It Is the capital of Ballard County, aud boasts as Intelligent a class of people as can be found anywhere. The town has a Rational Bank, 4irst-class Schools, Hotels and a diversity of mercan tile ana other businesses. Thttshipning facilities of Wlckhffe are excellent, It being on the Mississippi River, at the head of deep water navigation, six iii tie from Cairo, 111., which is on the Ohio aud Mississippi Kivers--4hus giving It access to the two largest waterways In the United fctates. Besides Its facilities for shipping by river, it has two geat trunk lines of railroads, the Mobile Ohio and the Illinois Central, which insure it the cheap est freight rates. The town is Burrounded by a fine farming country, corn, wheat and tobacco being the principal products of the soil. Mineral Deposits. -The natural formation of the country around Wickliffe would Indicate deposits of valuable miner als underlying the town and adjacent territory. But little attention has been paid to this hidden wealth until quite recently, though it is known that thirty years ago land was leased in the neighborhood of where Wickliffe now stands for the purpose of boring for oil. But no thorough Investigation was ever made, and the earth might have held its riches within its bosom for years to come, but for an acci dent. Oil and Gas Well. Two years ago the Wickliffe Canulng Company erected a factory in Wickliffe and began the canning of fruits and vegetables, it being a good point for that business. In June, 1900, a little more than a year ago, the Company, needing water, dug an old fashioned square well a few feet to the north and Just in the rear oi the plant. At the depth of thirty feet an unpleasant odor of gas was noticed issuing from the well, and, upon digging five feet deeper, water was struck so strongly impregnated with oil, naptha aud gasoline that the well was covered up with boards and abandoned as unfit for use. One day. sotue time after the closing of the well, Neal B. Lovelace of Martin, Tenn., Jas. Owen of Bard well, Ky., and Mr. Grinstead of Cairo, all trav eling salesmen, accompanied by Matt Smith of Wickliffe, went around to look at the well and in vestigate the presence of gas. They sniffed around, without anything very unpleasant striking their olfactories, and, as a Joke, little dreamlng.of danger, Mr. Smith lighted a match and threw it into the well, at the same time exclaiming, "Lookout!" Instantly there was a flash, and flames burst from the well as from a volcano, severely burning Lovelace and Grin stead the latter so seriously that his Injuries kept hi in in the hospital at Cairo some five or six weeks, and at first It was feared that he would lose his eye sight, but fortunately escaped such a calamity. Since the above incident the well bears a placard, "Dangerous." The water in this well is about ten feet deep, and contains a large per cent, of oil, ben ilne or gasoline, and other component parts of crude petroleum. An ordinary quinine bottle dropped into the well by a string, will, when drawn up, show a half mch or more of oil, bousslne or gasoline on top of, the water, while the water will be Impregnated with oil. The liquid Is cleir and .very Inflammable, a string or piece of blotting paper dipped into It burning with the rapidity and combustibility of the best gasoline. Every particle of water and oil hat teveral timet been drawn from the well, which fillt up in a few hour with water and the lame per cent, oj oil, gasoline or benzine. beds have taken it from the ground and with it painted their houses. The ochre is of the finest quality, being remark ably free from grit or any foreign substance, m, .'Rfr jt j i, .AL m7At. 4- tjd jt v N.- 0 V V3r THE NEWS IN TENNESSEE W M. -J VH V V 4 rf if, tfft 1 w V -w I A i A i"l fx i".f t vt Lignite. Along the branches and on the hillsides can also be found a fine quality of lignite. Froni the size of the lumps and the frequency with which it crops out, it would indicate that this valuable mineral could be found iu inexhaustible quantities. Lignite, as almost every one knows, is wood coal fossil wood generally of the tertiary period, con verted into a kind of coal. It contains a larger pro portion of hydrogen than wood does, and, if decom position goes on, it discharges carbureted hydrogen and bet""11! changed into common or bituminous coal. Clay and Sand. There are also in this rich mineral field immense teds of purest clay vessels made from it having the appearance of fine china. There are fortunes in this one deposit alone, for potter's clay of such fine qual ity is far from plentiful. Near this clay can be found the finest quality of sand, and it appears that if there is any place where it would be profitable to manufacture glass, it would be right here at Wickliffe. This sand is beautiful and contains a large per cent, of mica iu small particles. Wickliffe Oil and Mining Company The Wickliffe Oil and Mining Co. have just taken a long lease on two hundred town lots in Wickliffe, including the Canning Company well, and on several thousand! acres of land around Wickliffe, Including the valuable deposits of minerals men tioned above, and expect at once to go to work to develop their valuable property. Drilling on these lands will begin as soon as rigs and pipe can be got ten on the field. Other Wells. The Canning Company well is not the only one in the neighborhood which has been dug and abandoned on account of the water being highly Impregnated with oil. Jn fact, there are but few wells in ancj around Wickliffe the water qf whiph tit to drink, and t.he municipally has lust voted bunds for a sys tern of waterworks., an3 expect by the aid of artesian wells to soon liaye a bountiful supply pf good pure water, Burning Hill. A nother proof of oil, gas or coal, is what Is known as "the burning hili" near Fort Jefferson, and not far from wher the Mobile Ohio Railroad Company struck the coal in digging their well. How the hill caught fire is not positively known, though it is sup posed to have been Ignited by burning woods. But some foreign substance in the bill caught fire and burned for eight morfths, flames and smoke issuing from the side of the hill. Yellow Ochre. Lining the banks of the little branches around Wickliffe there are immense deposits of yellow ochre, probably the purest ever found in the United States. Residents in the vicinity of these immense ochre Testimonials. We, the unders.gned cltizens.of Wickliffe, being perfectly familiar with the 'ands in and around our town, and knowing every particular connected with the Canning Company well and the mineral deposits in and around WickliHe, hereby make oath before a Notary Public that every word of this pamphlet is true, to the best of our knowledge and belief.

But I think I will he able to get away in the next two weeks. I have 100 dates set ahead and will be ot the road quite a time for a newly married man." A determined effort is to be made by the local authorities to rid the town of the number of black females of shady reputation and many of them have already been ordered to shake the dust of Huntingdon from their feet, An unsuccessful attempt was made a few nights ago to burn a house occupied by two of theso charac ters, the floor, door and windows being satuated with coal oil and ignited. The attempt was frus trated by quick action on the part of the occupants. II. G. Westall, of Asheville, N. C, was arrested at Knoxville last week on the charge of having used the United States mails for the purpose of carrying checks and drafts with inteution to fraud The arrest was causeo by Post-office Inspector Keys, who had been specially detailed on the case. Westall was bound over to the Federal Court after a trial and committed to jail in default of bond. Westall belongs to a promi nent family and has a brother who is superintendent of the money order office at Havana, Cuba. During the past weeek the Cum berhnd Telephone Company has built its Una through Houston County to Erin and connected with Clarksville from the south, their line having extended this far for the last four or five years They are working up an exchange, making a resident rate of 50 cents per month and a busines? rate of fl.ou per month, lhe company does not, however guarantee that the resident rate will remain so low longer than they get a foot hold there. There is quite a rival ry here between the Cumberland and Houston County Telephone Companies on account of rates, etc. The community about Clarks ville was grievously shocked Mon day by a deplorable accident which overtook Cleveland Adkins, a bright lad of 13 years. Cleveland had gone with his father to see him cut sugar cane with a mowing machine. The little fellow "Nvas running along beside the machine, heedless of any wrong befalling him, but at moment when his father's attention was diverted the boy got in range of the mov ing blade, and before anything could be done to avert the acci dent his right leg was terribly mangled, necessitating amputation, the limb being taken off at the knee joint. The little fellow bore up bravely under the ordeal. Through the efforts of Col.Gra- cey Childers, Maj. W. J. Whit thorne and others at Columbia, an appropriation was secured at the last session of the Legislature to collect and preserve at the Capitol the flags of the regiments of Tennessee volunteers in the Mexican, Civil and Spanish wars. Gov. McM'ijin and Adjt.-Gen. Brandon are warmly interested in this movement. Maj. Whitthorne who is a delegato from Leonidas Polk Bivouac to the State meeting of Confederate Veterans at Lewis burg on October 9, will present a resolution requesting all Confed erate associations to aid in having the flags and colors of every regi ment turned over to the State for preservation. The intention of the Governor is to have these col ors placed in glass cases upon the walls of the hallways of the second floor of the Capitol. West Tennessee Crops.

Uall ling's Drug Store. "They Want M." The attraction at the Grand opera house last night was the very amusing and original farce comedy, "iney want Me, whicu was pre sented by a strong company of come. dians under the management of the popular and inimitable J. H. La Pearl. The play is a hodge podge of dun and merriment, and as given last night can not fail to excite the risibilities ot the most stolid and unimmotional of thea tre goers, in tact, we doubt very much whether an audience of Souix Indians, with all the stoicism and lmpassiveness of their race, could resist the temptation to laugh at the humorous situations which are pre sented for the delectation of Mr, La Pearl's patrons. "They Want Me" is a cleverly constructed little omedy, and is of a wholesome and unobjectional character as to com mend itself to the most fastidious of theatre devotees. It was writ ten to produce laughter.and as Mr. La Pearl says, "to aid digestion," and that it accomplishes the first part of its mission we are convinced from our experience of last nigfyt, and have no doubt that it is equally efficacious in the other respect. Mr, ua f eari a comDination ot "sure hits" is a winner and should it ever come this way again may be as sured of a hearty reception. Mt. Vernon, September 26, 1901. Could Mot Eat.
