Shot His Head Off. Nevada, Mo. Jan. Jan. 7.—A de- plorable tragedy occurred at the | Vernon school house, eleven miles east of this city, last night, Charles McEwen being shot and killed by | George Castlebury. The trouble | was over some remarks alleged to | have been made by McEwen derog | atory t> Castlebury, who was paying j Powder | | some attention to McEwen’s sister. | Castiebury came in from Joplin Fri-| day and yesterday went to Me- Ewentabout something he had said. | McEwen denied it, when Castlebury deliberately shot off bis head.

Congressman DeArwond has etir- rooupa horset’s nest in Washington ox mtroducing a bill to make that cuy bear the entire expense of its lo- cal goverpweut. During the second adiministration of President Grant, 1b will be remembered, the Republican party then in power,authorized Boss Shepherd to make various improye- ments in the streets ef that city, at the expense of the Federal treasury. Shepherd spent millions of the Gov- ernment's money in making asphalt streets and pavements, and even made marble pavements in front of various hotels aud other private prop erty, all at expense of Uncle Sam. 1t was the boldest piece of jobbery and robbery evey perpetrated in this country, and the many prominent Republicans who were in the Shep herd ring, profited largely by the steal There are those still in Wash- iagton who have large propert inter- ests in that city who are anxious to avoid the expense of keeping up thier sidewalks and streets, and who wish to make the Government bear the expense.—The people of Washing- tou City should keep up and pay the expense of her local governm: nt,aud ber people should build and pay for their own streets and sidewalks, just hike Chicago, St. Louie, and other cities.—The United States has enough to do to keep up and repair the streets and walks around and through her own property, and it is counted by many miles. It will be remembered that when the Shepherd gang were asking for a new lease of life, J Proctor Knott made one of his humorous speeches in Congress, and killed the bill by offering to vote for it, provided the Govern- ment would spend as much money on tbe streets of Louisville, where the people waded in mud up to their knee:. The effect of Mr. Knott's speech was to squelch the bill effec- tually. Congressman DeArmond deserves the thanks of the people of the whole country in this matter. Democrats cannot afford to pattern after the ways which prevailed when Boss Shepherd had both hands in the public treasury, and when Republi cans were willing to tolerate all kinds of robbery and jobbery, which aided their liberal politicians. —Clin ton Democrat. Court House Destroyed. Aurora, Neb., Jan. 7.—The court house at this place was burned this morning about 3 o'clock. The entire building was burned to the ground. | The recerds in the office of the county clerk, county jadge and clerk of the District court are supposed to be safe, but the door to the treasur- ers vault was found open, and it is supposed was blown open, and all the records were destroyed. What money there was in the vault in the safe is all right. The records of the superintendent’s and surveyors of- fices are supposed to be all destroy- ed. There is no clue to the origin of the fire. Some suppose that it was caused by the vault being blown open in an attempt to burglarize the treasurer's office. Hard Times for an Editor. Sedalia, Mo., Jan. 4.—A second time within three days Editor J. West Goodwin has been beaten on the street, this time by Dr. H. W. Woods, proprietor of the opera house here. This beating grew out a horsewhipping given Goodwin Tuesday by three female inembers of a burlesque treupe. which the! Bazoo roasted. Woods took the} women's part in court. thereby re-| newing old ill feeling. Today the| two men met and Weods beat Good- | | with Seeretary Gresham, and con win horribly, bruising him badly and fracturing his hip. Goodwin elaims that he was attacked unawares REFUSED TO BURY HIS DEAD. A Leussville Lawyer Seeking to Re- cover Heavy Damages from the Urd-rtaker's Combine. | Louisville, Ky. Jan. 6—A. J.| Gwen Brewster, the attorney, this} afternoon filed a damage suit against C. Miller’s Sons, the Louisville Cof fin Company, Messrs George Ratter- man & Sou, Schopenherst Bros., and | Wm. Watson, dewandicg the sum of $25.000 from each of them. The elaim for damages is based upon the fact these defendants refused to bury tue plaintiff's wife, who died on the 10th of last month. until he had paid a debt of $52 which it is alleged that he owed Millers for the burial ef his father. The plaintiff states that the defendants each and all of them are membsrs of the Funeral Directors’ Association, of the Fall's City. He states that every undertaker in Jefferson county, Ky, and Floyd and Clark counties, Ind., are members of the association, with the exception cf August Lefert, who has a atore on Green street, between Hanceck and Jackson. It is claimed that the association is a conspiracy aud confederacy formed for the pur- pose of extracting unlawful and ua- reasonable prices, and for the pur- pose of extorting exorbitant prices from the pubtie, who are of necessity ebliged to eall upon them to bury the remains of their relatives. Brewster states that this association has what is calied a delinquent list, upon which is recorded the names of all persons who may have default- ed in the payment of funeral bills to acy one of their members. The plaintiff states that his wife, Susie Brewster, died on December 10. He applied to each of the defendants tu furnish burial outfits, but they all refused, owing to the fact that Mill er Sons notified them that he owed $52 for the burial of his father. He alleges that he does not owe the $52, but offered to give security for it and to pay cash for his wife's funeral, He then applied to the city andertaker, who was unable to fur- Bish him a coffin on account of the trust maintained by the Louisville Coffin Company, and he was com pelled to use a coffin which -had been in use before. Washington, D. C., Jan. 4 —It came out to day that Secretary Gresham bad a good deal to do with the adoption of the income tax prc posi tion. Bynum, of Indiana, was the member of the Ways and Means Committee whose vote carried the motion. He is on intimate terms sulted him when the question of av income tax was pending. Gresham favored the idea and pictured to By num in forcible language what a fine political: policy it would be to give the laboring classes and the Popu list farmers the income tax for which they have been asking. Bynum, who had been in doubt as to what he should do, deeided to take Gresh aw’s advice VANDERBILT'S BONDS The advocates of the income tax are passing about some figures which afford them much satisfaction There are registered at the Treasury in the name of William H. Vander bilt $47,050,900 4 per cent bonds. On December 31 a check for $470, 500 was sent to Mr. Vauderbilt. This is done every three months In the course of the year the United States Government sends to Mr. Vanderbilt $1,882,000. The security is as nearly absolute as possible. There is no possibility of loss from fire or thieves or any of the usuai viske. Not a cent of tax is paid, uational, State or municipal. With such ag income tax as the Ways and Means Committee has voted to im pose, Mr. Vanderbilt's registered bonds will yield the Government $37,640 a year. That is the object lesson the incowe taxers are presen’ ing for the consideration of people who work for a living. | | Quiet In Henotuin.

Louisiana, Mo., Jan. 4 —A desyer- ate fight occurred this eveving on Georgia street, which was the finish of a long feud between two negroes, Wm Honter, alias “The Bug,” and Wm Puvch. For more than a year the pair had been at outs; owing to jealousy over a woman, and, meet ing this eyening, both drew their pistols and a fusillade followed, re sulting in Pune. being shot through the abdomen, from which he will die. Hunter quietly walked into a ho. tel, and alone ina back room blew his brains out with the remaining cartridge. Saved Her Life. Mrs. C. J. Wootprmce, of Wortham, Texas, saved the life of her child by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. 8 “One of my children had Croup. The case was attended by our physician, and was, supposed to be well under control. One night I was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it strane gine t had nearly ceased to breathe. palizing that the child’s alarming condition had become possible in spite of t edicines iven, I reasoned that such remedies would of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results. From the moment the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing grew easier, and, in a short time, sleeping quietly and breathing ni The child is alive and well to- not hesitate to say that Ayer’s toral saved her life.” AYER’S Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J.C.
