Louisville, Ky., Aug. 5.—At Burn- side yesterday there was a fight be- tween the police jufge and town marshal on one side, and Ben Cassi- day and his sons John and Hiram on the other." There was an old feud between P. F. Smith, the police judge, and Ben Cassidy. Cassidy said when Smith was elected he never would submit to arrest under a warrant from him. Yesterday John Cassidy was arrest- ed and give bond. His father caused the bondsmen to surrender him and then with his son Hiram started to take John away from Marshal Coomer and Judge Smith. In the fight which followed John Cassidy and Judge Smith were fatale ly wounded, the other three partici- pants seriously. The three are un- der arrest. Tetter Cured by S. S.S. I used Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) about three years ago for an aggra- vated case of Tetter. and was cured sound and well with three bottles. T have had no return of the annoy- ing disease since. I tried various other remedies before using S. S. S. but they failed to cure me, or bene- fit mein any way. Olin C. Fogle, Fainfield, Il). I have sold Swift’s Specific (S. S. 8.) for a number of years, and can cheerfully recommended it. As a tonic and blood purifier it is with- out an equal. Wm. Grush, Nashville, Ill. Considers it Without an Equal. “I have used your valuable reme- dy (S. S. S.) for a number of years, and consider it without an equal as a blood purifier and tonic. In fact, I would not attempt to enter upon a spring or summer in this climate without it. I never tire of saying a good word for S.S. S. when I have an opportunity.” H. W. Coleman, Dade City, Fla.

Livery country that is old enough to have a history has exhibited a tendency to the building up of two or three leading centers, and in many cases there have been two, one near the sea and the other far inland. The history of this country has advanced sufficiently to show that Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and San Francisco cannot hope to rival New York and that none of the interior cities can stand a chance of running neck and neck with Chicago. Some others may exhit yet 2 phenomenal increase similar to that of Chicago in certain stages of its growth, but it can be only as subsidary aggrega- tions of population and activity, not as the leading cities of the nation. Severe Storm in Iowa. Mason City, Ia., Aug. 5.—A de- structive wind and hail storm swept over Lyons, Osceola, Dickinson, Emmett and Winnebago counties Sunday destroying nearly everyting in its path. Many horses and cattle were killed, and men who were badly cut by the hail and seriously injured. The track of the storm was about fourteen miles wide, following east- ward to the south Minnesota state line. : Hailstones as large as hens’ eggs fell to a depth of six inches. Flax, which was a heavy crop, was entire- ly ruined. Wheat and oats in the shock were so badly damaged as not to be worth threshing. Several houses were burned down. It will take thousands of dollars to cover the damage to farmers alone. Missouri’s School Apportionment. Jefferson City, Mo, July 31.— Superintendent of Schools Coleman is rapidly completing the appor- tionment of schoo] money, and ina few days the list will be ready for publication. It has already been as- eertained that the amount to be did tributed is $861,386.40; number of pchool children, 856,894; amount each child will receive, a fraction over $1. The enumeration for this year is 8.590 less than that of last year. Superinteadent Coleman is of the opinion that the difference is occasioned by the stringent law passed by the last general assembly making it a misdemeanor to make a \try. Ohio republicans must be get- i false return, and he believes this to jting low down when they talk of | be the truest enumeration ever ta- ker. | Cheered by Thousands. Mexico, Mo., Aug. 7.—Roger Q. Mills arrived here this morning from Falton. He was to have spoken at Falton last night, but found he was not able to speak. He addressed an immense crowd at the fair grounds here this afternoon, the crowd being estimated at over 15,000. When he arrived on the grounds a great cheer went up from the thousands. Ex-gorernor Harding presided and ex congressman Buckuer intro-| duced the speaker. He spoke one} |hour and a half.

The tariff was for the benefit of the eastern manufacturers and against the interests of the farmer. He took wheat as an_ illustration, showing the difference in price now and in days of low tariff. very much to the credit of low tariff. His scath- ing denunciation of the robber Mc- Kinley tariff bill was loudly cheered. He said it was a biil for the benefit of the eastern manufacturers and against the interests of the farmers and laborers of the west and south. Mr. Mills will leave for St. Charles in the morning, where he will ad- dress the democrats. Giying Clayton the Seat. Washington, Aug. 5.—It took just ten minutes this morning for the house committee on elections to adopt the report, drawn up by Mr. Lacey, declaring that Represen- tative Breckinridge was not elected from the second district of Arkan- sas. This would have been done last week, but the democratic mem- bers did not attend the called meet- ings and no quorum was obtained. By means of telegraphic notices, however, a full attendance of repub- lican members was obtained this morning and the report was adopt- ed with but a dissenting vote against it, that of Representative Maish, the only democrat present. A Soft-Hearted Thief. Greencastle, Ind., Aug. 7.—Chas. Frank, alias Charles Hermann, who was arrested here last Saturday by Dective Stone for the larceny of a watch from a farmer in attendance at the Reesville picnic a week ago, was released to-day on $300 bail. The watch was sent by express to Sheriff Vestal of this city, and on the next mail the following letter was received: Indianapolis, Aug. 3, 1390—Mr. Vestal: Dear Sir—I send you by ex press to-night the watch that I took at Reesville yesterday. I return it to clear an innocent man whom you have in jail and whom I donot want to see sent to prison, for God knows there are enough of innocent men in prison now. ‘he Marshal was not on the right track when heran down the railroad. I had made good my escape before that. Yours, The Right Thief. To Kill all one Shot. Wichita, Kas., Aug. “7.— James Lingo a farmer of Park township was arrested yesterday as murder- ously insane. Tuesday nigh he pro- cured a shot gun, stood his wife and children in a row, and was lining tham up so that, as he put it, “one shot might kill them all, “when as- sistance arrived and the maniac was captured.

If the president remains quict, he will be not until he d house. credited with opposition to the 1dea|§ of teciprocity treaties, and, on the other hand, if he sends a message to congress indorsing the plan, he will appear before the country asa simple follower in the path marked out by his secretary of state. This may be rather a humiliating position for Mr. Harrison to occupy, but Mr Blaine has assumed the leadership of his party, and the president has no choice but to acquiesce or break with him. It will be interesting to note whether he will carry his acqui- escence to the extent of sending a reciprocity message to congress. Is Consumption Incurablet 5 Read the tollowing: Mr. C, H.
