Henry Meyer, who robbed and kill- | A Priest and Two Poor Women Horn- ed ranchman John Lowell last March, was hanged to-day. He was so weak that two deputies held him upright until the drop fell. Twoac- complices were sentenced to death with him but secured an appeal and stay of sentence. He made a final confession as follows: Iam very sorry about the lies I have told. I was wrong in accusing Olsen and Drager of the crime. They never knew about this crime before ad Drager took no hand in the ailling whatever. I am now about to die and will take my death with pleasure, so I say my last farewell to all. This is my last farewell. This is my last and true statement for geod. ‘Goodbye forever. J. Harry Meyer. Meyer was completely broken down last night and morphine was gived to make him sleep. Aikens, S. C., Nov. 30.—James Wood, colored, was hanged here to- day for the murder of Robert Ollie in July last, Ollie left his home in January and coming back in July found Wood living with his wife. While talking to her Wood shot him dead. The murderer was sentenced to be hanged November 2, but was respited until to-day. He was hang- ed in the presence of a hundred peo- ple. He wept aloud on the scaffold and had to be supported. His neck was broken by the fall. Killed by Her Brother. Glassgow, Mo., Dec. 1.—Mrs. Em- ma Jackson, aged 20, was deliberate- ly shot and killed here yesterday by her 14-year-old brother. Harvey Ballew, an incorrigible hoodlum. The boy's sister asked him to go after a bucket of water and on his refusal to do so threatened tu have him whipped. Mrs. Jackson then took the bucket, went after the water and when she re-entered the room the Loy thrust the muzzle of a shot gunalmost in her face and fired, killing her instantly. The boy is now in jail. bly Killed—Terrible Rioting. San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 2.—By the Panama steamer which arrived at this port to-day advices were re- ceived from Peru that the Indians in the interior of the country are committing dreadful outrages. A priest was stoned to death and his mother, who came to his assist- ance, was killed and her head cut off. Another woman who tried to save her was clubbed todeath. The bodies were then thrown into the river. At Lapaza an attempt to lead a movement for Comancho, the revo- lutionist leader, precipitated a riot resulting in the killing of 140 men, women and children, besides wound- ing fifty others. A Horrible Affair. Des Moines, Io., Dec. 1.—Yester- day a farmer named Coffman living in Shelby county was butchering hogs. His little boys, aged 5 and 3 years were watching with boyish cu- riosity. After awhile the elder told his little brother to come out in the yard and he would show him how to butcher. The little fellow followed some distance from the house, when the 5-year-old took a hammer and struck him on the forehead, and then taking a long sliver of glass, stuck him in the neck, inflicting a ghastly wound and severing the wind-pipe. Medical aid was sum- moned with all haste, but the little fellow died within a few hours. As soon as the elder brother realized what he had done he ran away and was found several hours afterward a considerable distance from the house. — The late fall arrival of Kansas beggars in western Missouri is re- ported to be unusually heavy just at present. They all remained in Kan- sas to vote the republican ticket, and now they are over in Missouri to keep from freezing and starving this winter. Missouri is a great state and her people are liberal. She has supported the poor people of Kan- Sas many winters without complaint. —Rich Hill Review. a = iy THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR PHARIS & SON WHOSE AD. WILL APPEAR NEXT WEEK. West Virginia Delegatiou Solid. | Washington, D.C. Dec. 3.—The Hon. William L. Wilson of West Virginia to-day received a letter from the secretary of state—the custodian of the returns—who says that there is a little question but that the democrats will have asolid delegation in the fifty-first congress. He further says that while General Goff upon the face of the returns has a plurality of about 100 for gov- ernor, nevertheless the democratie state committee has determined to contest his election, believing that sufficient frauds can be demonstrat- ed to invalidate his title.

Fort Dodge, Ia., Dec. 3.—Special news was brought here to-day bya man named Barber that the river land settlers helda meeting Sunday and decided to shoot the officers if further attempts were made to evict them.

Soliciting an inspection, We are Yours Truly, BADGLEY BROS. = A short time since A. J. Barton wooed and wedded a young and at- tractive widow of Jasper county. The groom proved a model husband and took charge of the farm selling stock and produce in the markets of Carthage and Kansas City. Last Monday he took his wife and moth- er-in-law to a surprise party, excused himself for a few minutes and after making himself solid financially by raking in all the cash of the family, treated the community to a second surprise by skipping out. It is be- lieved that he took refuge in the Sunflower state. A high tariff is levied by the gov- ernment on articles imported into this country in Order simply to re- strict the competition of a foreign artiele with a similar article of Do- mestic manufacture. A trust is a combination of individual or corpor- ated enterprises, for the purpose simply of limiting the competition of articles of domestic production in our home markets by restricting the Production thereof. Without the existence of the former the latter could not be successfully maintained —therefore, in order to down the trusts, it is only necessary to place the article controlled by said com- bination on the free list and thereby let all the world have a crack at the robber concern—“with which neith- Joseph R. Rickey, of Fulton coun- ty, owner of a stock farm and a bank, is on his way home from New York where he lost heavily betting on the | success of the head of the demo- cratic ticket. It took a week after the election for Mr. Rickey to real- ize that he had lost $20,350 in cold cash, but according to the New York papers he settled up like a littleman and returns to Missouri with the proud consciousness that he died game. e The Oklahoma settlers held a meet- ing Saturday in which they unani- mously decided to abandon the ter- ritory and such improvements as have already been made until they shall have full legal warranty to en- joy the same. This movement on the part of the settlers isa piece of wisdom. Eventually the matter will be decided in favor of the settlers and it seems foolish for them to keep on trying to anticpate things and thus run unnecessary risks. Given a Peisoned Apple. Charlestown, W.

Dave Fotheringham the some- what noted express messenger, who was a former resident of Rich Hill, was in Kansas City the other day and in an interview with a Star re- porter spoke of his experience as follows: “I wasarrested” he said ~by the Fields detective agency of St. Louis, and the manager of it evidently did not believe I was guilty so the Adams express company put the case in Pinkerton’s hands. They put me in what they call their ‘sweat box.’ For nine straight days I was in Bob Pin- kerton’s room—morning, afternoon and evening, and he was at metrying te get a confession. He said if I would admit my guilt he would accept any proposition I might make. When the case cathe to trial only three witnesses were ex- amined, I was discharged, there be- ing no evidence against me whatever. The last of December they arrested the real robbers. Whitrock confess- ed and is now in the Missouri state penitentiary. An officer went to him and told him if he would implicate me he would get two years taken off his sentence, but he could not impli- cate me. I sued the Adams express compa- ny for $100,000 damages for false imprisonment and malicious prose- cution. The jury gave me a verdict for $20,000 and Judge Thayer of the United States circuit court cut it down 40 per cent, making it $12,000. T have not got the money yet, but as the case has net been appealed I suppose I will.” Money! Money! I have arranged for a large amount of Eastern Money to be loaned on improved farms and brick business houses. 6,7 or 8 per cent is the ruling rate of interest.
