Princeton, Mo, Feb. 5.—At Mer- cer, a small town rorth of here, this _ afternoon there wasa shooting affray, and as a consequence Andrew Alley ' is dead, Joe Alley, his cousin and _ partner in business, fatally wounded and Peter Kindred cccupies a cell in the Mercer county jail.

This afternoon Kindred, drunk and with @revolver strapped about him, en- | tered the store of the Alley boys, ®aiying that he had coma to settle 7 the diffcu'ty.

Washington, D. C., February 6.— Col. John T. Crisp, of Missouri, is a visitor in Waehington. Saturday he was at the capital and Sergeant at- arms Russell, of the house, intro- duced him to Speaker Reed. “Mr. Speaker, sir, I am glad to meet you, sir,” said the Colonel. “Allow me to say, by gad sir, that we thiok you are a great man out in Missouri, sir, a hell of a great man, sir, and in Missouri we know a great man froma pigmy, sir.

Topeke, Kas., Feb. 4---Eugene V. Debs, in replying to the recent criticism of Judge P. S. Grosscup, characterizing Debs as a malcon- tent and an agitator, publicly pro- claimed that he would seek an op- portunity to meet Judge Grosscup in a joint discussion of the issue in- volved in the great strike of 1894. Judge Grosscup in an interview, during a recent visit to Topeka, de- clared that Debs inspired the A. R.

This or- ganization has for its motto *Liber- ty, Land and Leieure ” In the district represented by the towns mentioned there are about 10,000 miners and small farmers. | During the A R. U. strike it was one of the mest turbulent portions of the country Regular troops were sent there. The strikers bit- terly resented the invasion by the troops and have always threatened that when the next strike came they would teach the soldiers a lesson. Mr. Childers represents that the oath taken by the members of the American Patriotic league provides} that each member shall within sixty days of his swearing allegiance, equip himself with a rifle and be ready for emergency. The oath a'so contemplates, says | Mr Childers, a struggle with the} national government, as each mem- ber is pledged to proceed on orders to accomplish the death of the pres-} ident and his cabinet by the use of dynamite As part of their program the members of the New Mexico contingent have applied to the ad- jutant general cf the territory to be enlisted in the national guard of| New Mexico, to be supplied with arms and ammunition and one or two gattling guns for battle prac- tice. The adjutant general has re- plied that until the various compa nies are enrolled and organized no arms can be issued. Mr. Childers informs the depart- ment that the threat of these men, high flown though they seem, are not to be treated lightly. Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 8.— Judge George B.
