a Bas sacar oe RESULT OF A TURKEY HUNT. Two Men Killed Under Circumstance~ Which Are Strange in the Ex- treme. Last week W. H. Grinter, a stock farmer living six miles from Wyan- dotte, went to the Ozark mountains to hunt wild turkeys, in company with his brother and cousin. On Friday, while in pursuit of game, he sighted what he thought was a turkey, and began to crawl toward it. While thus engaged he wasshot and killed by # man named W. H. Requa, who fired under the impression that Grinter was a turkey, but a small potion of his body being visible. Grivier’s remains have been foward- ed to Wyandotte. Later.—Another account of the fatality is that both Grinter and R:- qua were killed. It is said that the men were both crawling toward each other under the impression that the small potion of each other’s body visible represented a wild turkey. Coming in range they fired simultane- ously and both dropped dead. Business Men Will Sappori Hiin. Tho Amesican Grocer is a business journal circulating among business men of all shades of political in every state and territory in the union. Consequently we have no partisin politics, although Jwe and our subscribers, if the communica- tions we receive are any indication, take a warm interest in polities which have a bearing upon the welfare oi business. A few months ago, when we sgemed to be upon the verge of « financial crsis and business men were being squeezed by money lead ers because so much of the circulat ing medium of the county was loek ed. up inthe treasury surplus, we said it was the duty of every busi- ness man to impress upon his mem ber of congress that the reduction of our revenue was @ necessity para mount to all others. This opinion is now emphasized by the annual message of President Cleveland tu congress, in which he ignores all other topics and mentions this alone. The sturdy common gense of Presi dont Cleveland was never better illustrated. Tho writer of this arti cle opposed his election to the presi- dency, but we are free to confess that he has made, thus far, a good snd patriotic president of the whole people; that hoe has been exceptionally level headed on most subjects, and, while we do not agree with him on all points, if he were again a candi- date for president to day we should feel that the business interests of the country would be safer in his hands than in those of any member of the opposite party who has thus far been prominently mentioned.—American Grocer. belief Tilden’s Idea of Tariff-Reform. {Extract trom the Tilden platform of 1876.) “Reform is necessary in the sum and mode of federal taxation, to the end that capital may be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. “We denounce the present tariff, levied upon nea ly our thousand ar ticles, as a masterpeice of injustice, inequality and false pretense.
