Brown's story was so strauge a tale that the Chief at first set hin down as acrauk. The man was so earnest however, that the chief ordered him |locked up and sent a telegram to Centralia, Ill., where the murder was done. This morning the answer came from the sberitt: “Hold the man, letter coming. Will send for |him.” The story of the murder is a stravge one. Brown, who was tramp- ing, went into a box car to sleep. He stumbled over a man in the dark and a fight ensued. Brown hit his ling-pin and fled. Not long after- ward Gray, another tramp, came along and weut to sleep in the same car, not knowing that he had a dead man for a companion. The next morning when he arose he found that his arm had lain iu a peol of blood. He tore off the bloody sleeve and fled. The sleeve caused his arrest, conviction and seutence. He does not even know who the real murderer was. Brown claims to come from a well-to do southern family, but will not give his real name. Pleasant Gap Items.

Parie Mercury The three pear] hunters who camp- ed here last week,moved up towards the headwaters of the Middle Forks the classic stream that sweeps the northern beundary of Paris, as they found the muscles larger and pearls more plentiful as they went up the stream. While here they found two They showed us 400 pearls of rare | beauty.the lot valued at $1200. Last year they got 600 pearls which they sold in New York for $2,000. They say that fresh water pearls, the kind found in the streams of this coun- try, tind a more ready sale in the large cities than any other kind, ae they are of various colors and very often handsomely tinted. A pearl is formed by a grain of sand getting into the shell, which pains the mussel, and in erder to relieve the pain it throws around it a substance which relieves the pain and yet cuuses the pearl to grow. This process continues until it reaches the size of a pea and often larger. Round pearls are rare aud demand higher prices. These pearls are used fir necklaces mostly. The pearl is found in the tailend of a mussel. Boys living along streams should lay in a winter supply of pearls. Congressman Stone, of Nevada, has been prominently spoken of for goverror of the state. He madea fine record while representing his district in congress. He fought the exiravagant pension claims, and watched the people’s money and the people's interest with the same zeal that he watched his own private ir- terest. His people are entitled to some state officer and will no doubt have this noble man placed at the head of our state ticket. The growth in the population of southwest Mis- souri has been wonderful and at our next state convention will be able to compel a hearing of her claims. Cooper county has no man who will Mr Voshel and Mr Heatheoe settled | teal ask for the governor's chair but we we have some claims which in due time will be presented.—Cooper County Leader.

BERNHEIMER BROS, & C0. | KANSAS CITY, MO, Pleare montion this paper when ordering Deadly Duel Between Editors. Sulphur Springs, September 16.— Two weeks ago to-day a special was sent the Globe-Democrat from this place giving an aecount of a cutting | affray between the son of E. M./ Tate, editor of the Hopkins County Echo, democratic, and E. S. Moore ofthe Alliance Vindicator. It was then thought that the trouble was over and would rest there. Nothing more was said or done till last Sat- urday, when an issue of the Vindi cator appeared with a renewal of hos- tilities. This morning about 10 o'clock the two editors, E. M. Tate and E S. Moore, wet on the public square, aud without anything being said by either at onee engaged ina hand-to-hand fisticuff, in which Tate proved to be the better man. Moore then backed off from Tate and reached for his pistol, but it caught in his clothing in some way, and by the time he got it out aud ready Tate had drawn his, and the two fired almost simultaneously, and ntinued sheoting until their guns were emptied Tate received a flesh woundin the left arm, and Moore was struck five times, from the effect of which he died two hours later. Tate surrendered to the officers, and in- sists that he acted purely in self- defease. Both parties have a host of friends and excitement russ very high. There bas beeu no homicide in this country for many years that has created so great a sensation. Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago, recently received an invoiee of $1,- 400 worth of pearl buttons from Austria, on which they paid a tax (customs duty) of $3,000. This is one of the “blessings” we owe to the McKinley bill. Of course the Repub- | lican papers and Radical stump speak- ers will tell you that the tariff is not ;@ tax, and that the pauper labor |abroad not only furnished Marshall Field & Co., with those buttons gra- tis, but paid the $1,600 excess duty over the price to get them into eur American house. And, of course you will believe. (7) The fact is however, that these but- tons, the intrinsic value of which is $1,400, cost the firm $4,400, and will be seld to consumers so as to realize a profit on that amount of first cost. This is but a little over 200 per cent. of tax, but it should be under- stood by the working classes, that these buttons are of the finest grade @uch as are used upon the fine fab- rics worn by the wealthy. The tax on pearl buttons of a lower grade such as are used by the commonality is 600 per cent.—Dade county Ad- vocate. A Chila Killed.
