BEAUMONT MURDERS.
r Beaumont, Tex., March 12.—
Mattie Bennett confessed to-day to
iriff Lindley that she was at the
_d of a gang of negro women and
ite men, who had for mouths
^jn luring men into her house,
drugging, beating and robbing
ihem. If they were only stunued
they were taken out of the house to
a remote part of some street and
left for pedestrians or policemen to
find.
A fear is felt that more than 12
men, among those who have come
tQ Beaumont and were afterward
reported as "missing," have been
murdered, and that their bodies are
now at the bottom of the river. In
the last three months at least fifty
inquiries for missing men have
been received, and while no one
supposed that the gang has mur
dered to many as fifty, there is a
fear that some of the disappear
abc«are due to their work.

Some Prison Ststistics.
The statistics from the State
prison shows that during the first
two months of 1901 there were 38
deaths, many of these being as a
result of smallpox contracted while
in the camps in Lafourche. During
the remaining ten months there
were but 13. The average uum
ber of prisoners with the peniten
tiary during last year was 105 ; at
Angola 455 ; Hope 184, and 320 at
the levee camp, making a total of
1064. Of this number 408 are able
to write, while 656 cannot.
Night Was Her Terror.
'I would cough nearly all night
long," writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate
of Alexandria, Ind., "and conld
hardly get any sleep. I had con
sumption so bad that if I walked a
block I would cough frightfully
and spit blood, but, when all other
medicines failed, three $1.00 bottles
of Dr. King's New Discovery whol
ly cured me and I gained 58
pounds." It's absoluteby guaran

and Lung Troubles. Price 50c and

One of the recent innovations in
New York City is the establish
ment of schools where policemen
are to be taught how to act in the
case of injured persons before tbe
arrival of the doctor. If the re
ports of the expertness of "the
finest" of the Empire city in the
art of slugging and clubbing be aüy
ways near the mark, there should
not be any lack of "cases of emer
gency" upon which- the proba
tioners in surgery can practice.
Leaving out this sinister side of
the question, which may be some
what overstrained, such schools are
admirable institutions and should be
in every city. In fact, it would be
a good thing if instruction as to
how to act in the case of the in
jured could be given in every pub
lic school iu the country. Many a
valuable life has beeu lost that
might have been saved had this
preliminary knowledge beeu
learned. It takes some time for
the ambulance snrgeous to arrive
on the scene of an accident, and in
the meantime the injured person
may bleed to death simply through
lack of knowledge on the part of
the bystander s.

A special dispatch to the Daily
States last evening said : "Repre
sentative Broussard succeeded in se
curing from rhe post-office depart
ment an order giving free delivery
to Lake Charles. The new service
is to go in effect on July 1. Four
carriers are to be employed at
first."
Lake Charles became entitled,
under the postoffice department, to
free delivery about three years ago.
About half of the time was spent
in getting the city in shape for the
improvement, and the remaining
time in inducing the department
to act.
Last October a minor official ren
dered au opinion that Lake Charles
could not have free delivery until a
number of further improvements
were made,and for a long time this
was accented as conclusive,although
many people believed that the con
gressman could straighten out the
matter. ) Prom the above it appears
that this has beeu done.— Ameri

ONE WOMAN
With two faces ; one face bright with
health, the other face pinched and drawn
by illness. Many a woman can take the
portrait of herself made bnt a few years
ago, and holding it by her face in the
mirror realize a Similar change.
Behind this change in form and fea
ture is always disease, and generally dis
ease which affects the wolhanly organ
ism. The backache and bearing-down
pains put a heavy strain on the nervous
system. There is loss of sleep, lack of
appétit^, and, as a natural result, loss of
strength and flesh.

A HOME VIEW OF TILLMAN.
The Charleston News and Courier
suggests a criticism of Senator Till
man's conduct that was overlooked
at the time, on account of tbe grave
and more serious and outrageous
act committed by him. It calls at
tention to the insulting slur cast
by him upon his people and State
in the apology he made to the Sen
ate. We quite agree with the fol
lowing from the News and Courier :
"Senator Tillman's 'apology' to
the Senate on Saturday for his dis
graceful conduct was even worse
than his offense against all de
cency and good order. His plea
that 'I had never had any legisla
tive experience when I came here
and my previous service as Gover
nor of South Carolina for four
years had unfitted me in a measure
to enter this august assembly with
that dignity and regard, proper re
gard I will say, for its traditious
and habits and rnles that is desir
able," was a reflection upou the
traditions and habits and rules of
the people of this State. There is
uothing in the office of Governor
of South Carolina to encourage the
manners of the prize ring and we
hope the better sentiment of the
country will acquit the peonto fc of
this State of any sympathjrimh
the brutal exhibition made by the
senior Senator from South Caro
lina and his colleague on Saturday.
The State can not escape responsi
bility, of course, for the miserable
affair, but it cau at least express
sincere regret that it should have
been so disgraced by its represen
tatives and hope that the rest of
the world will pity if it cau uot
forgive."

The Mansfield Jonrual has the
following, which seems to have
some merit in it : The Louisiana
Legislature will hold a session this
year, beginning in May, and last
ing sixty days. There .does not ap
pear to be au urgent necessity for
any new legislation, but the best
interests of tbe State wonld be sub
served if some of the existing laws
were so changed as to admit of but
one interpretation.
Education The Hope Of The South.
On education the hope of the
South must rest. Education is the
only means of elevating and broad
ening the individual type. Great
attention must be paid to this in
order that the best results may be
worked out with the unusually
favorable materials and resources
at hand, says Mr. H. M. Atkinson
of Atlanta "in the Manufacturers'
Record. The constant elevating of
the individual through the process
of education is the only means by
which the best cau be accomplished.
The aim of this education must be
to create broadness of view and
liberality of thought. The South
must broaden its base along these
lines. Men are needed who will
see tbe public good, and who will
stand for it and their convictions.
The broad view of such questions
can only be brought about by ed
ucation. The broadening of the
individual and the teaching of the
principles of political economy aud
municipal government are the needs
of the day. This means also the
broadening aud strengthening of
character—that is, the production
of men, the word being used in its
best sense.
For The Complexion.
The complexion always suffers from
biliousness or constipation. Unless the
bowels are kept open the impurities from
the body appear in the form of unsightly
eruptions. DeWitt's Little Risers keep
the liver and bowels in healthy condition
and remove the cause of such troubles.
C. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., says : "I took
DeWitt's Little Early Risers for bilious
ness. They were just what I needed. I am
feeling better now than in years. - ' Never
gripe or distress. Safp thorough and gentle.
The very best pill-. John R. Taylor.
The Suprcmeawnrt of' Mississip
pi has decided Apt the dwner of
dog cannot recover damages from
a railroad when a train runs over
tbe dog and kills him, says tbe
New Orleanà States. In the first
place, a dog has no business on tbe
track, and in the second place a dog
which is fool enough to get on a
track before an engine hasn't sense
enough to be worth anything to any
body, and consequently no damage
is done when he is killed.
Chronic IHarrhoeu.
Mr. C. B. Wingfield, of Fair Play, Mo.,
who suffered from chronic dysentery for
thirty-five years, says Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy did him
more good than any other medicine he had
ever used. For sale bj James A. Leo,

The State of Kansas has 11,028
teachers in the public schools. Tbe
salaries paid to the teachers is said
to be much better than that which
is paid in other States of tbe Union.
The average age of the teachers is
twenty-one years.
With Tillman and McLaurin in
contempt aud Wellington in per
petual disgrace, the glorious tradi
tions of the South and her magnifi
cent record in the Senate are being
blighted and broken. Her pride
and glory, of other days, in her
Benjamins' Davises, Hills, Hamp
tons, Lamars and the like, have
gone glimmering like a school boy's
dream. But, thank heaven, only
three out of the present list fail to
do her honor.

Surgeon's Knife Not Needed.
Surgery is no longer necessary to cure
piles. U&Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cures
such cases at once, removing the necessity
for dangerous, painful and expensive
