The tunny applicants fur the postoliico
nre working hard but quietly. None of
them will have anything to say when ap?
proached upon the subject, further than
that they think their chances are good.
Every now and then one of them will dis?
appear for a few days and we learn that
he is in Washington, hut no ouu is sup?
posed to know what he went for The

not be told who is waiting in the back?
ground. Air. Asberry was postmaster
here during the llarrisou administration
and lie is said to hold a strong hand.
Speaking of the 'postoflice reminds me
that Cthe much needed signs have been
placed in that building land pe>ple can
mail their letters'and buy their stamps
without any useless loss of time The

Henry and Church streets are doing very
well now that the weather is dry.

The insurance men hare been doing a

about the recent action of tho city with
regard to the increase of their license tax.
They have now appointed a committee to

Another prominent'.travelling insurance

doubtedly be the [result if the law was
allowed to stand.
"Appomattox." a sort of melodrama,
the scene of which is laid in war times,
will be presented by members of the Roa
noKo Light Infantry with the assistance
of outside talent, about May 10. The
play is the story of the struggle between
duty and love with the, as usual, happy
termination A feature will be a drill
by a company of children who are sup?
posed to have imbibed some of tin? spirit
that impelled their elders to heroic deeds.
Besides these and the '?supers" the caste
contains eight gentlemen and four ladies.
Specialties will also be introduced.
A new scheme in the way of bicycles
for beginner.-; has just been introduced
into Roanoko. The machine is like oth?
ers except that on both sides, fixed on
rods to prevent the rider from falling in
cither direction, is a smaller wheel.
These side wheels can be lowered or raised
at the pleasure of the rider, or can be re?
moved entirely. ItcanMie readily seen
that to the more timid beginners the ar?
rangement will be of great value. jjg

AWFUL CRIMES CONFESSED.
Two Indian Boys Tell a Story of the
Spicer .Murders in North Dakota.
Bismarck, X. U., April 27.?Paul Iloly
track and Phillip Ireland, Indian ' boys,
hare confessed that they took part in the
recent murder of the Spicer family. The
boys implicate the two half-breeds, Black
Hawk and Caddotte, who have been un?
der arrest. Their confession, which pur?
ports to be a true story of the crime, is in
substance as follows:
The murder was planned some weeks
before it was committed, and Black Hawk
was the leader. The four persons named
went to the Spicer home on the day of the
murder, Black Hawk and CadUotte going
to the barn and the two boys to the
bouse. At Cue barn the t\vo"men bound
Mr. Spicer. Black Hawk shot him and
then split, his head open with an axe.
Caddotte then ran to the house and
told Mrs Spicer that her husband was
sick at the barn. As soon as she arrived
at the barn doer Caddotte slabbed her
through the heart with a pitchfork.
Then Cadotte went to the house and
found Holytrack engaged in a terrible
struggle with Mrs. Bouse. He said to
Holytrack:
'?Why don't you brain her with an ,t;c:-'?
Holytrack replied: "1 cannot, as th"
children are bothering me."
Caddotte picke?1 up an axe and dea't
each of the twin babies a'death blow.; He
and Holytrack then had no trouble iu
killing Mrs. Bouse. After she was killed
she was feloniously assaulted by llolv
track.
While this was going on at the bouse
Black Hawk bad feloniously assaulted
Mrs. Spicer at. the barn. About $62 ill
money was found and divided by the four
persons after the completion of their
bioody work.
Excitement is at fever heat, and it is
more than likely all four will be lynched.
