DESPERADO GANG DONE FOR.
Bob Sims and "Four Companion n
on the Same Tree.
Shvedta, Miss., Dec. 28. Thursday
morning a large body of determined
men followed Sims and three of his gang
to. Sims' home, surrounding the hcr.se.
Firing by the citizens and also "by the
by the gang from Sims' house continued
nntil 3 p. m. Christmas day.
After consultations between the
sheriff and Sims, the latter agreed to
surrender on condition that they be pro
tected and carried to the Butler jail.
The sheriff promised the best protection
he could give under the circumstances.
Sims selected twenty-five men, and the
sheriff twenty-five, and with them
started to Butler.
About one mile from Sims' house a
body of men, from one to two hundred
6trong, took the Sims band from the
guard and hanged them all to one tree,
Suns expressed fears that he would
never reach the lail dead or alive.
When he was placed in the buggy for
tne ratal nae ne retasea to be blindfold
ed. He held out his hand and asked
them to feel of his pulse to see if he was
frightened, and said he was going to
heaven.
Young Savage said: "If you think
enough of me to bury me, put me by the
side of Sims. We are fighting for the
same cause." lhey died cursing.
The women were turned loose. The
names of the Simsites hung are Bob
Sims, Tom Savage, and Con Savage and
ins two grown sons.
Thus ends the defiance of the United
States, the state of Alabama, and, in
fact, all laws, by the notorious Bob
Sims and four of his followers.
Garza's Gang.
San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 28. The
forces of the Garza revolutionists in
northern Mexico and along the Texas
side of the Bio Grande border are rap
idly increasing. According to present
indications the numerous detachments
are moving toward Camarago, Mex.,
where they will concentrate and then
proceed in a body toward the interior.
There was another engagement Satur
day night between Garza's followers
and a regiment of Mexican troops at
the San Ignacius ranch, near Carrizo,
Tex. The fight was at long .range, the
Mexican troops being located on their
side of the river, while the revolutionists
were on Texas soil. One of the govern
ment soldiers was killed and a number
on both sides badly wounded. The rev
olutionists were making their way to
ward Camarago. About two hundred,
being in detachments, were some dis
tance from the border, when discovered
and attacked by the Mexican troons.
The revolutionists retreated, keeping up
a running nre anu escaped across tne
river into Texas, making a bold stand on
this side. Owing to the lack of neces-
sarr protection by the United States
troops the movement of the revolution
ists and their bold violation of the Unit
ed States neutrality laws was not known
to the authorities until late bunuay
The first news of the engagement to
reach here came m a dispatch to Dr,
Plutarch Irnelas, the Mexican consul,
from the Mexican consul at .Laredo.
mere has been no otnciai word re
ceived at department headquarters here
from Captain Jb rancis 1. Haruie, of the
Third cavalry, but a reliable report
reached this point troni Laredo that ne

revolutionists who had been camping
and receiving recruits near Encinal,
Tex. Captain John G. Bourke, of the
Third cavalry, who is in command of
Fort Ringgold, has not been heard from
for two days and no orders from the su

Caxtox, O., Dec. 26. The trouble

The demand being equal in the

three pounds of wool to the dollar
of value shows that over 01,000,000
pounds were required b7 this addi

Does it Contain Ammonia?
The charge is being made that the Royal Baking
Powder contains ammonia. We would have supposed that
the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders
by the most eminent physicians throughout the land, and
the fact of the three leading chemists of Minnesota mak
ing their report to the Senate Committee recently showing
that bread baked with the "Royal" contained ammonia
and the hostility now being manifested by the public
against all ammonia and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market.
In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become
an indispensable article in every kitchen, it is gratifying
to know that there are brands in the market to which no
suspicion of any kind has ever attached. Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder is a pure cream of tartar
free from every taint of ammonia, alum or other
substance.

Lincoln's Pace antl the Artists.
Lincoln's features were the despair of
every artist who undertook his portrait.
The writer saw nearly a dozen, one after
another, soon after tho first nomination
.to the presidency, attempt the task.
Theypnt into their pictures the large,
rugged features, and strong, prominent
lines; they made measurements to ob
lain exact proportions; they "petrified"
some single-look, but the picture re
mained hard and cold. Even before
these paintings were finished it was
plain to see that they were unsatisfac
tory to the artists themselves, and much
more so to the intimate friends of the
man this was not he who smiled, spoke.
laughed, charmed. The picture was to
the man as the grain of sand to the
mountain, as the dead to the living.
Graphic art was powerless before a
face that moved through a thousand
delicate gradations of line and contour,
light and shade, sparkle of the eye and
nf the lin. in the loner sramut of
expression from grave to gay, and back I
again from the rollicking jollity
laughter to that serious, far away look
luai. "" i"-"!'"' I n.llT.n.U.'M 10QI

Morrill, of the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco, to the effect that the conductors
will on and after Jan. 1 have to rive a
$500 bond for the faithful Tierfonnance

opposition, and there are fears that
trouble will ensue. On beinsr madeac
quamted with the order the
conductors held a meeting and ap
pointed a committee to call on uenera
Manager Morrill to protest, but the
latter wired the committee that ho
would not receive them. The trip was
abandoned, but the Order of Railroad
Conductors, it is said, will name
strong ticket. It is said that the Alton
has issued a similar order. Genera
.manager Mornu said tnat the issuance
of the order had been contemplated foi
a long time, but it had not yet been is
sued, and how the matter became public
he was at a loss to understand. "The
Atchison conductors are required to rive

Washington, Dec. 28. The house
committee on rules has made little or
no progress with the important work of
preparing a new code of rules for the
guidance of the house. Speaker Crisp
has been entirely too ill to rive anv at
tention to the matter, and Mr. McMillan
is out of the city. The house will
therefore continue at work under the
rules of the congress over which Mr.
Carlisle presided, for at least two and
probably three weeks after the holiday
recess is over. It is not expected that
this will work to any disadvantage as
no important business is expected to
come before the house until some of the
committees have considered the bills re
ferred to them and some reports have
been placed upon the calendar. In the
meantime, however, Representative
Catchings is engaged in collecting
data for the consideration of tne com- !
