Elizabethtowx, Ky., Nov. 14. The
first fruit of the republican victory in
this congressional district was the
murder of Blake Robertson, the 18-year-old
son of A. S. Robertson, formerly con
gressman. Last night about 200 negroes
and a few white men gathered in the
lower part of town and formed a proces
sion. There was a dispute as to whether
the whites or blacks should march first.
In consequence only one white man
paraded. Marshal Neighbors started to
examine the negroes' guns, which were
loaded. George Wilson fired at him.
The bullet passed through his coat and
lodged in the stomach of Robertson.
Neighbors then shot Wilson in the arm.
In Judge English's court this morning
Marshal Neighbors tried to kill' Wilson,
but was prevented. Neighbors is in
jail. The negroes are greatly excited.
They Robbed the Passengers.
Kansas City, Nov. 14. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas train, No. 12, held up
near Muskegee last night, has arrived

they had been through a battle. The
bandits intimidated the passengers by
firing through the windows. The rob
bers secured over $5,000 and about 40
watches and other articles of jewelry.
The conductor and train conductor were
relieved of a little over $40 each. The
express car was being protected by four
armed guards when stopped, and they
opened fire at once, driving the bandits
back. The robbers consulted a lew mo
ments and withdrew to the rear of the
train. The train crew thought they
were- well rid of the robbers when the
firing began on the Wagner cars.

Cottolene the new shortening- '
only pure and healthful andperf.v .
digestible frying and shortening r.'.
rial in the market is now to be had at
all first-class grocers throughout tna
United States and Canada.
In. using Cottolene for shortening-,
it is of the greatest importance to use
only about one-half or two-thirds as
much as would be used of lard. This
is essential to success in the cooking,
as well as an important feature for
one's pocket book.
Cottolene, like all other good things, '
has found several imitators, all of very
inferior quality, and 6are to cause dis
satisfaction. To be sure of getting the
genuine Cottolene, the best way to
buy it is in the tin pails bearing the

A DANGEROUS TREE.
The Manchlneel of Africa How It Is
- Used by the Kativos.
Everywhere the manchineel has the
unenviable reputation of being' a most
dangerous tree, in the shade of which
it is never safe to rest. This evil repu
tation has its origin in the poisonous
qualities of the sap and fruit of a tree
of this kind found in Africa the ar
borescent euphorbia. This tree has a
magnificent but most peculiar appear
ance, and the thickness of it'i foliage,
which wholly excludes the sun, seems
to invite the traveler to rest beneath
its branches.
The negroes have a way of taking
advantage of the delightfully cool j
shade and at the same time avoiding
the danger from the poisonous drop
pings of the tree. They erect a
thatched roof below the lowest branch
es and then repose in security.
M. Tremanx, says the Chicago News,
in a narrative of his excursion to the
Soudan, has an interesting passage re
specting these aboresecnt euphorbias.
"While taking a view of C'acane," he
says, "I aslicd one of the negroes who
stood near me to go and seat himself
nnder a great euphorbia which stood in
the foreground. At first he hesitated,
then, after a little, he decided to yield,
but not without raising his eyes many
times in apprehension toward the
branches of the tree.
"I was about to climb upon a rock to
break off a branch which I brought
home with me to France but the
negro, seeing me approach, fled in
terror from the shade of the deadly
tree, gesticulating wildly and shouting
words in a language which I could not
comprehend. His signs, however, and
a few Arab words uttered by one of
the bystanders 'Do you mean to die?'
made me understand that in touching
the tree I was running a serious risk.
"But the thing was done and the
broken branch in my hand. Immedi
ately a millcy liquid flowed forth, in
much greater quantity than I could
have imagined from what I knew of
these plants in other countries, cover
ing my clothes and penetrating even to
my skin.
"The features and gestures of the
negroes expressed their fear. They
made me understand that if the white
juice touched one of the numerous
wounds which I at that time had on
my body I should die, and that it was
dangerous even to let it touch the skin,
"It is with this juice that they poison
their weapons in order to make their
wounds mortal. They first thicken it
till it acquires the consistency of paste,
then they dip in it the points or blades
of the weapons which they wish to
poison."
Trees of this kind are often twenty-
four feet in diameter and seventy feet
in circumference. The greatest height
of trees of this size is twenty-four feet.
The trunk and large branches are of
hard wood; . the smaller branches con
sist mostly of pith and parenchyma,
sustained by a slender woody fiber.
