She was taken sick on the Monday before, and suffered great agony until death relieved her. Helen Newton Morrell, second cousin to Governor Morrell, of Kau- sas, was born in Portland, Maine, April 26th, 1833. Sbe was married to J. R. Harriman in Boston, Mass, Aug l4th, 1856, by Rev. Lyman Beecher. They moved to Morgau Co, Ills, the same year where they lived for three years, when they moved to Alabama and spent 7 years. They returned to Illinois, thence to Missouri and settled in Butler in | 1868, where they have lived continu ously since. Mrs. Harriman joined the Presbyterian church the spring she came to Butler. She was de- voted to her church, lived a christian life and died in the full hope of reaping eternal life. Asa wife aud mother the deceased bore all those traite which go to make up a happy and contented home, and as a friend and neighbor the community has lost a jewel. No lady was more highly esteemed in this community or more dearly loved by those who knew her and it is sad indeed that the angel of death should enter this pleasaut home and take the boon companion of so many years of so affectionate a husband and loving children. She was the mother of three children: Mrs. S S. Allen ef Dallas, Tex, Mrs. J. B. Armstrong and Ned, who preceded his mother to the spirit land just seven year. and who died of the same disease, pneumonia. The funeral services took place from the Presbyterian church San day afternoon at 2 o'clock, conduct ed by Rev. John B Hill, assisted by Rev. Watkins. The exercises were very touching and the feelings of the many friends of the deceased iv the iarge audience could not be suppressed when the lid of the cas ket was removed and a parting and farewell was taken. The remains were taken to Oak Hill cemetery followed by a large concourse of friends, and laid to rest. The Tiwus extends sincerest sym- pathies to the bereaved family.

All that medical knowledge could suggest was done to alleviate the suffering of the wounded man, but be lingered in terrible agony until the next morning at 8 o'clock when be died. Owing to the nature of Mr Heath’s wounds he was unable to make a statement, and Mr. Fee, on advice of his counsel, refused to make one, consequently we had to get information of the tragedy from other sources. The evidence of eye witnesses is substantially as follows: Fee went into the saloon and up te the desk in front of the screen, where Mr. Heath was talking to Fee's brother inlaw, Mr Taulfer. Fee invited them to “take some- thing” and they both refused, when Fee drew his yistol and was im mediately seized by Taulfer, who tried to prevent him frcm shooting. Mr. Heath told Wilham Hurt, who tending bar, to call the police, which Mr Hurt hastened to do but the shooting began by the time he reach ed the side walk. Mr. Taulfer said that when he released Fee he thought he was going out the door; he was uncertain whieh fired the first shot, but both were shooting. From the condition of their pistols Fee must have shot five times ana Heath four times. Fee's first shot must have struck Heath in the face, for the latter’s shots were wild, go ing through the glass front, high over a man’s head. The cause cf the difficulty dates back some time. Fee formerly tend ed bar for Heath & Hurt. His domestic relations became strained !and he accused Mr. Heath of alienat ing his wife's affections.

Feb. 24.— | Representative elect Burton, of Mis ;Souri, is domg Congress under the cbaperonage «f the man he defeated, Representative Morgan. The latter entertains no feelings towards his successor. In fact, the pleasant re- lations betweeu the two. are so marked as to cause comment. Both served in the Union army, and they commenced to practice law in South- west Missouri about the same time. Burton espoused the Republican side iu politics, aud he is the, first Republican to represent bis district in Congrees in over twenty years. The campaign was free from person- al recrimmations. “It was the tariff mainly, that caused my election,” suid Judge Burton. “Three counties of my district are heavy producers of lead ores, and the cut from Ide per pound, given by the McKinley bill, to 3 of a cent under the new law was extremely unpopular with the mive owners. It caused a large number jof Democrats to stay at home, while quite a number voted the Republi- can ticket. I am not ;repared to jsay, however, that the Republicaus have gained permanent ascendency in Missouri. A great deal depends on their conduct in the State Legis- ‘lature, and on the course of the party in the next Congress. i | A CARD. | Washington, public in general; We speak knowingly after twenty- | five | business on the credit system. years of close application to The | new experiences of each year’s busi- | ness satisfies us that the credit sys- |tem has out lived its day.
