May ran for county superintendent of schoo]. Joseph Combs was coun- ty judge, aud by some manipulation of affairs succeeded in defeating May. About this time Eversole and French had a dispute over the rent- ing ofa store room. May sided with French because Eversole’s father in-law, Co:nbs, had, as he be- lieved, kept him from being elected school superintendent. May dis- trusted his wife and drove her away, at the same time becoming very bit ter toward French, who had former- ly been his devoted friend. May then went before a magistrate and swore an affidavit that he and French had had a private conference togetb- er during the dispute of the latter and Eversole over the possession of the store room in which French pro- ARKINSON & GRAVES, posed to him that they burn Alex. ~ Duff’s store house and kill Eversole.

There was then an — immense amount of maneuvering to kill nnd keep from being killed. Armed bands of Eversole’s and French’s friends roamed through the country, alternately occupied Hazard and held the courts there in terror. But in the fall of 1886 both Eversole and French had a meeting and agreed to restore peace to the community. On September 14, 1887, the fight broke out anew. Bill Gam- bill and Tony Deaton came to town to attend court and stopped at French’s house.

Jeff Gambill, a French factionist, was murdered by Eversole men in Jackson county. Thus matters went on until the beginning of 1889.

Last fall, at the September term of court, Judge Lilly remained away. Wm. L. Hurst, the most prominent lawyer in this section of the country who resides at Compton, in Wolfe county, was elected judge pro tem. by the bar. Both factions again met at this court, and on the second day Judge George Eversole was at Col. L. M. N. Saleer’s house and a disturbance was raised by the French men in the upper end of town. The Eversole men picked up their guns and started after the; French men, when Judge Eversole rushed out of the yard, made them retreat, and said he did not want any more trouble. That night Judge Hurst was fired on. He was in bed at Combs’ hotel at the time. John Mc- Knight and Ed Campbell were killed the next day. Joe Davidson is ac- cused of killing Campbell, but he has left the country. Judge Hurst was told that if he left at once he could go, and he did so, without even signing the orders of the court he was holding. New York, Aug. 13.—The steam- ship Teutonic of the White Star Line has smashed all records. The vessel made the run from Roche’s Point to Sandy Hook in five days 19 hours and five minutes. The Teutonic’s daily runs were: Aug. 8, 478 miles; 9th, 496; 10th, 512; 11th, 500; 12th, 488; 13th, 340;to Sandy Hook. The best record of the City of Paris was made last year, when that vessel made the run across in five days, 19 hours and 18 minutes. The City of Paris on that trip cov- ered 2,788 knots, while the Teutonic covered 2,806 and beat the City of Paris’ time in addition by 13 minutes.

It is the sumof taxation,rath- er than the manner of it,which must be considered and reduced before any alleviation could result. Of what use would it be to remit the taxes on real estate and add as much more to the taxation upon food, clothing, shelter, tools, medicines and other necessaries of living? As long as the farmer is obliged to sell all he produces in an open market, in com- petition with all the rest of the world, and as long as he 18 forced to buy in a closed market, made dear to him by bounties which he is com- pelled to pay to the government fa- vorites, he must contiue to suffer. His profits will grow less year by year, and the value of his lands will decline. A government establish- ment which is costing the country five hundred millions of dollars per year can not be maintained without the continued depression of all the industries which are taxed for the benefit of the less productive indus- tries. As farming is the chiefest of the unprotected industries it is the greatest sufferer. The remedy lies in cheapening the access of the farm- er to the markets that fix the price of his products; in encouraging com- merce and in reducing the reducing the taxes on commodities that are unduly enhanced in price by estab- lished monopolies created and main- tained by legislativie favoritism. It is very hard to convince a farm- er that he is not benefitted by the “protective system.” But after thir- ty years of trial and thirty years of gradually intensified taxation, made more exasperating by the reckless extravagance of the public service, the farmers are beginning to study the subject for themselves. There can be but one outcome.

Peoria, Ill., Aug. 13.—The young- est highclass criminal ever in Peoria county jail is Willie Ritchie, aged 12 years. He is charged with steal- ing a horse from a man named Gross near Elmore, in the northwestern part of the county. The boy took the animal while it was tied toa hitching post and rode it off to Can- ton, where he traded it for another one. . A few days after, while in Brim- field, a constable got after him. The boy ran away from the officer. The two had a chase for about four miles when the officers horse fell under him and Willie escaped. He came on to Peoria, crossed the river here natural advantages of the state. not as great as the percentage of in- crease will be for the next ten yeare. The oatside world has found out more about Missouri during the past five years than it has ever known be- fore. It is only beginning to realize what a great state this is. Missouri has more natural wealth than any state in the Union. This reveals 1t- self in the soil and is stored up in political cart.—Philadelphia | baby tosleep 1,460 times, makes and after making two trades at Washington, proceeded to El Paso, where he was caught yesterday.

There is almost everything in Mis- souri that can be found anywhere else in the country. This state could be walled in and the reople could produce everything they need. With the abundance diversity of its resources, it is bound to grow with great rapidity when the attractions which it offers to capital are fully re- alized.’ These are becoming more widely known every year, and the volume of immigration will increase accordingly. The decline of Bourbonism in Missouri is the most cheering omen of its future prosperity. That has been very rapid during the past de- cade. There has heen a marked rev- olution in the social conditions which has extended to every part of the state. The “piker” gradually becom- ing extinct. The spirit of enterprise and enlightenment is abroad in the land, and fossilism is retreating be- fore the march of progress. There will be very little of it left in 1900. With all that nature has done for the state, and what capital and enter- prise are doing, Missouri and Illin- ois ought to change places when the next census is taken.—K. C. Star. The Campaign is on. Washington, Aug. 14 —Congress- man Mills, of Texas, has returned from his speech making tour in the west. He says that he will not re- main here long. “This is no place ison.
