Fert Smith, Ark., Feb. 4—John Starr, a United States witness, to- day received a telegram from Eufala. L T., that Belle Starr was killed there last night. Belle was the wife of Cole Younger, and Jim Starr, her subsequent husband, was shot down by the side of Belle less than a year ago. cousin of Jim Starr. Belle Starr has been recognized as a desperate woman and her exploits have been chronicled in the newspapers more than once. There is no other infor- mation than the above giyen.

In many ex ploits she acted as commander and her escapes from death or on several occasions miraculous. She was wounded in « pitched battle near the Arkansas river about four years ago in which several Federal soldiers were shot and two members of the Starr gang killed. A wounded companion was drowned and his body recovered several weeks later, about 50 miles from the scene, by the authorities. A little over two years ago she be- came a widow, Jim Starr being shot 7 dead at her side ina pitched battle 7 similar to the one just described. Since then she has lived on terms of illicit intimacy with John Starr, a cousin of her late husband.

Feb. 7.—For the first time in the history of the gov- ernment a Seeretary of the Navy Philadelphia, has opened negotiations with shi; owners in this state to carry coal 4.- 000 miles from Philadelphia to the Samoan islands. A few days ago Secretary Whitney wrote to C. H. Eidredge,pay director of the United States navy in this city, asking him for what price anthracite coal could be bought. The secretary said 3,000 tons were wanted for use at the United States coaling station in the Samoan islands, and informing Mr. Eldredge to send him the names of ship-owners. Mr. Eldredge sent to Mr. Whitney the names of those companies which he thought would undertake the contract, and it is more than likely that the Reading Coal and Iron company will ‘be awarded the contract.

Miss Edith attempted to raise a win- dow sash which was caught fast by ice that had gathered at the sill. The obstruction suddenly gave way permitting her head to fly back with a violent jerk that dislocated the vertebra of the neck. Her head no longer sustained by the nec, drop- ped down on the right shoulder. The surgeon who was called to at- tend her succeeded in reducing the dislocation and then adjusted arou:d the neck a stout pasteboard colar as an artificial support for the head in its natural position. It is believ- ed that in the course of time she will entirely recover without any deform- ity of the neck remaining behind. So far she has suffered no great pain. Surgeons say that injuries of the nature indicated followed by perfect recovery without deformity are ex- ceedingly rare. : fessional phr eau refute and there y of his doing that. The republican organ, of the state intimates that the contest will be dropped and paves the way for it by asingle question: “Will it justify Goff to throw the state into turmoil with the certainty that at the best he could hold the governor's chair for only a few weeks.” There is no impcrtant change in the ‘senatorial fight. Dorr is the only stumbling block in the way of Kenna’s election, and it is believed he is weakening. Mass meetings have been held all over the district, and he has been requested to vote for Kenna. Hundreds of telegrams come to him daily with the same purport, and the leading politicians of the state are here using all their influence on him. It is hardly pos- sible that he will be able to with- stand this pressure long. The vote on joint ballot to-day resulted: Kenr- na, 49; Goff, 42; scattering, 7. The Hon. and Mrs. Louis L. Williams of Juneau, Alaska, are at the Coates house. Mr. Williams is a United States commissioner to Alas- ka and isa citizen of Boonville, Mo. He is on his way to Washington on official buisness. Regarding a state- ment of a Mrs. Voorhees, made about six weeks ago, that the U. S. soldiers outrage native women of Alaska, Mr. Williams says; “The charge is ridiculous and an infamous falsehood and is easily disproved. In the first | place the native women are devoid of morality and in the second place there are no soldiers in Alaska. There are a few marines, thirty, I believe, at Sitka, and there are a few sailors.” Mr. Williams says that the weather in Alaska has been very ;mild this winter. the thermometer j never having gone as low as zero. i It required thirteen days to come ‘from Alaska here. m of fraud Mrs. Cleveland it is rumored, is urging her husband to take her around the world after his term of office expires. She is corstantiy reading books of travel and has b- come warmly interested in India, China, Japan and other distant lands. Mr. Cleveland has always had a dis- like for travel, and the most ui- pleasant feature of his administration to him have been his long journyys to different parts of the country. As he is a very indulgent husband, how- ever he may agree to arcumnavigate the globe with his wife. “‘T know ’tis a sin to But I’m bent on the notion, 1’ll throw myself into The deep, briny ocean.’ is the mental exclamation of many a sufferer from headache, indigestion, constipation, torpid liver, ete.
