Haying once beena country editer myself, I entertain a most kindly feeling for my old conferers. I am villing to make affidavit that the 11 months I spent editing a rural jour- nal were the most beneficial of my life to myself, and perhaps to others. Iam proud to have belonged to the editorial guild. I am _ unalterably opposed to anything that will injure the country editor, curtail bis profits cireumscribe his usefulness or place an additional thorn in his pathway.

Ward a Police Commis-} sioner for Kansas City in place of | William C. Scarritt, who resigned at | the request of the Governor. Toa reporter, when asked concerning Mr. Scarritt’s interview in the Kansas City evening papers, Gov. Stephens stated: “I asked for Mr. Scarritt’s resig | | nation largely because by his action in appoiating Mr. Vallios—a Pinker- ton detective and a non resident— Chief of Police, and his continued interest in the deposed Chief; he has damaged our party organization, not only in Kansas City, but thrvughout the entire State, and has embarrassed the administration beyond measure. I feel sure that Mr Scarrit thinks that he has discharged his duty con-| scientiously in making this selection, and I give hin. credit for being honest and sincere. “The appointment, however, of Vallins was exceedingly uawise and unfortunate for us in every voting precinct in the state. Mr. Scarritt was recom mended to me as an ardent free sil ver democrat,a warm personal friend and supporter, and a waa who was identified with no faction in Kansas City, one who would prove lcyal at all times to our party and adminis tration. Immediately after his ap poictment trouble began, and it has kept up until the present day. Per- sonally I have for Mr. Scarritt the highest regard, but I have neither respect for nor confidence in those with whom he and those whose influence with him was and is all powerful. The talk about my endeavorivg to dictate to Mr. Scar- ritt or the Police Board or police appointments, is false. “I did, however, protest in inter- views with the commissioners and im private letters to them against the reappointment of Mr. Vallios, whom I was told Mr. Scarrit was still grooming for reappointment The most prominent business men and most active politicians of Kansas It has made enemies trains, WHY SCARRITT WAS ASKED TO RESIGN. | Gev.

Longview, Tex., Feb. 25.—A des- perate shooting occurred last night between Alba Heywood, menager of the Heywood Opera Co, and P.T. Pegues, the opera house manager, at this place. Both are scriously, if not fatally, wounded. The difficulty occurred over free tickets for Mr. Pegues’ family, Mr. Heywood telling Pegues he was no gentleman. He was struck twice by Pegues. Heywood shot Pegues four times, three times in the body and once in the head, the most dan- gerous wound being a ball through his right lung. Pegues says that he received the four wounds before he sbot at Heywood, who had left him lying in the opera house for dead, but he rallied and emptied his pistol after following Heywood into the street, one Heywood's right lung. says that the wound in the nose was shot there by Pegues at the begin- ning of the battle. Heywood is a Kentuckian. He has two brothers—Dewey snd O. W. Heywood. Pegues owns the Longview Ice Company, the bottling works, the opera house and has a half interest in the electric light company. He has been married about a year. Pegues walked several yards be- fore assistance came. It was found that his clothes were on fire.
