Two Young Ladies Thrown Out and Gainfully Injured. When the congregation at the West Jackson church was dismissed yesterday morning, a drizzling rain was falling, and every one made haste to get home. Miss Ilattie Henderson invited Miss Alice Detterly to ride with her in her cart, and the two young ladies started off down the hill at a rattling pacj. Their spirited horse soon broke into a lope and then a run, and when half way to the A. V.

R. was fairly flying. The young ladies tugged manfully at the reins, but their strength was only about enough to steady the now thoroughly frightened animal who dashed across the railroad and into the fence at Enochs lumber yard, which he struck with such terrible force that he fell as if dead. The young ladies with the cart went in a contused mass among tiie horses heels in the gutter where and from which Miss Detterly was pulled, her face, body and limbs bruised and so covered ith dirt she was hardly recognizable. Miss Henderson escaped with fewer bruises, but with one that maybe very serious.

The handle of a broken parasol, or umbrella, was driven several inches into one of her limbs, under the knee. Many people returning from church ran to their assistance, placed them in a carriage and saw them home. One young man, to be sure the horse was dead gave mm a sharp kick in tne ribs, when to the surprise of all he bounded up with the cart partly on his body, and made off south through the crowd, lifting the hind part of a mule on the point of one of the shafts. The young ladies are painfully but not seriously injured, for a wonder, and will be able to get about again in a few days- The Truth Worked. One' of the xnembers of the regiment told a story of "Honest Captain Wood." he incident occurred in very cold weather, and at an important crisis.

"At nighttime," said the narrator, when we pickets arrived at the out posts Captain Wood said, 'It is too severe for the men to face this storm all There was a small house close by, and the captain directed that we should build fire in it and shelter ourselves as best we might. We did so, and weary with march ing and lulled by the warmth we all fell fast asleep. When theTomcer of the grand rounds came our way he found a regular Sleepy Hollow. "Of course we were reported, and the morning we were summoned to head quarters. Naturally we were terribly Tightened, for sleeping on picket is a serious offense.

"We were ushered into General Wil- sons tent, tie sternly repeated tne charge. Had we been guilty of sleeping on our posts? We had. It would have been useless to attempt any explanation, but Captain Wood, who was present, anticipated any that we might have at tempted. 'General, he said, 'the blame does not rest upon these men. I am responsi ble for it alL I gave them orders to take shelter in that house and build a fire there, and 1 am to blame.

They would not have been asleep but for me. 'Howlong have you been in the serv ice, sirr asKea tne general stern ly. A few months, I thought so. If you had been here longer you would have come up here full of excuses and ready to shift the blame upon any one at hand. You can go.

Your honesty has saved "-Lewiston Journal. One Woman's Life Story. I am twentv-two years old and have been married four years. My husband was visiting at my home (which was in England) at the time of my birth, there fore was acquainted with me from ear liest infancy. As we grew up we were frequently thrown into each other's society, but when he arrived at the age of seventeen and I was twelve we were parted, my husband coming to America, where he staid five years, at the ex piration of which time we were to be married; but unfortunately he lost all his money in Liverpool, and on arrival at my home was penniless.

Consequent ly we could not be married. My hus band returned to this country to wotk for another year to earn enough money to pay my passage over, as we were en tirely dependent on our own exertions, At the end of twelve months he again started for England, but had to return again on account of a collision. Finally he arrived in England, where we were married a short time after and sailed for New York. As soon as we landed 1 was taken very sick, was taken to a hos pital and went under a dangerous opera tion, which cost every cent of money we had in the world. At last I got better, we hired a couple of rooms, my husband succeeded in getting work, and al though we are very poor we are very happy.

Cotton seed at Rolton brought a higher rate because the merchants there combined against the mills and agreed to run the price up to $10. As a result, the mills met the raise. Polton did this because an independent buyer at Edwards had tlone the same thing. And now E. D.

Futch ik of Raymond have done likewise. If the mills want the seed of this neighborhood they must pay 10 for them, else Futch Pro. will take them at that price. This is exactly the same that Edwards and Bolton are paying. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

Owing to short crops and low prices, it would not be amiss to give this otlice to some worthy and deserving son of toil. The many friends of our old citizen, veteran soldier and honest patriot, L. D. Yates, think he would make an excellent supervisor. Should he become a candidate, the boys will vote lor him with unalloyed pleasure.

Webstek Flanagan, the Texan Re- publican who made himself famous by I the remark, "What are we here for?" is the collector of customs at LI Paso, and it appears that he has been making money hand over fist by allowing Chinamen to cross the Mexican border in violation of the Chinese Exclusion Act. The fact that the whob mtry knows what Flanagan is there for is likely to cause him to lose his official head. Some of the Inner Workings of the Canvass. An Army of 3Ien Employed at Xa.

tional Headquarters, The Literary Bureau of the National Democratic Committee. Campaign Documents Printed and Distributed by the Ton Interesting: Resume of the Work. A New York correspondent, in sending an article discriptive of the workings of the Literary Bureau of the National Democratic Committee says Campaign literature in its present significance dates back to the famous Tilden campaign of 187G. Mr. TiUlen, that master mind of political management, started a literary bureau in the early part of that campaign.

This year more work of this kind has been done than has ever been attempted in any other Presidential campaign, and both parties have had a hand in it. There has never been known such a demand upon the resources of the printing offices as has existed during the last two months. There is scarcely an office of any importance in the city that has not been several weeks behind with its pr- ders for miscellaneous work, in consequence of the vast amount of political material which they have been called upon to print. Presses have been run night and day. At the head ot the literary bureau of the Democratic National Committee has been Hon.

Josiah Quincy, the Massachusetts member of the National Commit tee. The work of the department has been of infinite variety. Campaign documents treating of the principal issues of the moment have been issued; manv news papers in all parts of the country have been supplied with news and editorials and other matter of a political nature: cartoons for newspaper publication and pictorial posters have been gotten up. In fact, the bureau has addressed itself to the task of informing the people through every possible channel ot communica tion by means ot printed or pictorial matter. Some of these documents have been printed in English, German, French Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, llollau-dische and Polish.

Several newspapers of special character have been published practically for the exclusive use ot the Committee. In particular one entitled 'American Industries," in which is a vast amount of information in regard to the tariff upon labor and industries has been distributed. In other instances editions of newspapers containing ppecial political matter have been distributed by the hundreds of thousands. Altogether the campaign ducuments, copies of newspapers, cartoons, flyers and cards, the output of the National Committee has run up to millions upon millions of copies, and the cost of this part of the campaign alone will before election time have amounted to over a halt a million of dollars. Unusual attention has been given this year to the campaign in the Southern States.

1 here was serious danger that the solid South might be broken into through defections from the ranks of Democracy, by reason of the Farmer Alliance movement Affairs looked dark for the Democracy in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and West lrginia a few weeks ago, and lor that reason the South has been flooded with campaign literature calculated to win back to the Democratic fold those who might have been inclined to depart therefrom. This particular work in Mr. Quincey'8 bureau was placed in charge of Hon. W. S.

McAllister, of Mississippi, who has labored assiduously and intelli gently, and to the accomplishment oi good results. The press bureau has been in cnarge of Col. John Trace', who is a political veteran of the tilden school, and a newspaper man of experieece. lie has directed the machines for the dissemination of the daily news of the headquar ters. The department for the preparation and puclication of campaign documents has been in charge of Mr.

Lyman H. Weeks, editorial writer of the New York Star. Mr. eeks has been in enect a managing editor with a staff of other editors to assist him. Documents have been prepared dy able writers, epecially for the purposes of the committee, circulars, cards and other material for reaching the intelligence of the voters have been gotten up to answer the immediate and shifting demands of the campaign.

Reminding Him of a Fact. A few days ago an elderly gentleman and his wife came down Broadway to gether. A lady crossing the street fell down. The old gentleman rushed to her assistance and helped her in every possi ble way. When he returned to his wife she shook her fist at him.

"It all right; it's all right," he whispered. "Yes, 1 i7)ow it's all right," she replied hotly. 'Here's an unknown woman falls down and you plow across the street to help her, and the other day 1 fell down stairs and you wanted to know if I was practicing for a circus." New York World.

Eepublican Candidates Have Failed to Pronounce the Word. They Must Therefore Pay Penalty, as of Old. the Prostitution of the Diplomatic Consular Service. and The American Voter who Believes in Honest Wages Cannot Vote the Republican Vote. New York, Nov.

7th. The New York Times of this morning publishes the following double-leaded editorial Fair-minded voters throughout the length and breadth of the United States have for weeks been applying the Shibboleth test to the two nominees of. the Republican party and the cause they represent. Each candidate has struggled to pronounce correctly the magic wrord and failed utterly, and Benjamin Harrison and AVIntelaw Ileid must meet their fate at the polls for this signal shortcoming. When the world was younger the penalty for mispronouncing the Shibboleth was death.

The penalty on the day of election will be overwhelming defeat for the Republican standard-bearers and death to the iniquitous measures which have brought the party into disrepute. The old story imperishable. Jeptha when judge over Israel, quarreled with the men of Ephraim, and, aided by the tribe of Gilead, made war upon them. That none but their enemies might be killed during the fight that ensued, the victorious Gileadites made every man who denied being a follower of Ephraim pronounce the word Shibboleth. The Ephrairnites had a tribal defect of speech, and, do their best, the nearest they could come to the word was Sibboleth, which difference proved them to be foes, and they were put to death in vast numbers.

Trifling as was the test on which to hang human life, it has survived through the ages as the criterion by which the genuine is distinguished from the false. In his zeal to retain office, Mr. Harrison secured renomination by packing the convention with place holders who had accepted office in the public service at his hands. This was an emphatic mis-pronounciation of the Shibboleth. He has prostituted not only the Diplomatic and Consular Service but the entire civil service establishment at home by calling upon the incumbents of office to do party work intended to keep in power a President who was not the choice of a majority of the country's voters.

This was a shameless mispronunciation of the Shibboleth. Whitelaw Reid's antagonism to organized labor is too deep-seated for the public to be deceiyed by hispretense of being the friend of the workingman. The American voter who believes in an honest wage for honest labor knows well that he couldn't say Shibboleth if he tried. It would require columns to enumerate the Shibboleth of the Republicans, and conscientious voters will act as did the ancient followers of Jephtha, by deer sively rebuking the party of McKin- leyism. DAVENPORT'S WORK.

He Will Arrest Over Three Thousand Democrats To-Morrow. New York, Nov. 7. The excitement here on the eve of election is greater than ever before known, and if there is not a conflict between Federal and State officers to-morrow, the signs belie the times.
