the charge of carrying deadly weap-

is a toy pistol, usid for firing off fire

Mr. Watson attracted a consider-

by reading from an exceedingly large
sized paper, a poem manufactured
by himself. The head of the paper
was ornamented with pictures of

fied that Mr. Watson is not much of
a poet, nor even a rhymer.

HOW TO TELL
J)r. Jones Killed at Caddo, In , Wellborn Nominated on Thirty- ■ Gouuiu0 *,nil,,ons Liver Regulator
(linn Territory.
Yesterday afternoon three half-
breeds 011 horseback rode up to the
depot at Caddo. One of them nam-
ed Will Stewart, carried his shot-
gun 011 full-cock, and shouted at. I)r.
Jones who stood on the platform,
"I am 011 it, you s<y;, 0f a ,"
and pointed hi'g gjn at the Doctor
who JtO^U with his arms folded
ag Yiist the depot.
Stewart was drunk and followed
Jor.eS to the south end of the plat-
form, where he shot him through
the left shoulder, severing the jugu-
lar vein and causing instant death.
Stewart and his companions imme
diately rode away. A posse of six
or eight citizens pursued them and
at last accounts had them corralled
in the brush, and were exchanging
shots. It is hoped the villain Stew-
art will be speedily captured. We
understand the origin of the affair
was Stewart claimed that Jones had
reported him to the marshals for
dealing :n whisky.
Dr. Jones has resided in the NaJ
tion several years and was unrver-
sally esteemed and respected. lie
leaves a widow and several children.
At the time he was assassinated, he
was en route tO jWhitewright, where
he had lately established A drug
store, and which place lie had se-
lected as his-future residence, being
rather dissatisfied with the life in the
Territory. He had many warm
friends in this city, who will learn
with deep regret of his sad fate.
Close up the Dens of Infamy.
Ed. News:—You very properly
commend the Town Company for
requiring all "disreputable charac-
ters, who have built or occupy shan-
ties on lots owned by the Company,
to at once move the same," and you
further say it is the duty of the City
Council to take some steps to re-
move these dens of infamy from our
most frequented streets, or better
still, from the city limits."
You are right and all "decent peo-
ple" will commend you for this as
they have for your past fearless ut-
ters nces on the same subject.
But why should the City Council
stop when the nests of "the soiled
doves" sue luukcu up? Are there no
other "dens of infamy" in the city?
How about the gambling places and
grogshops? Are they not equally
disreputable and would not "all
decent people" rejoice at their re-
moval "into an ohscurc part of the
city," or "prohibited' altogether?
The open, shameless drunkenness of
our streets, and the "sickening nui-
sance" created by the rum holes of
the city, is a more common and cry-
ing offense, and little, if any, mere
decent.
"Soiled doves" are the legitimate
offspring of gaming and drinking.
The wives and mothers interested do
not fear the brothels so much as the
saloons and gaming houses, for those
first demoralize their husbands and
sons as a rule before they become
the victims of the brothels. Dry
up the business of making gamblers
and drunkards then, as the surest
way of curing the evil complained
of. Society has 110 light to com-
plain of the legitimate fruits of the
evils it cherishes or tolerates. If it
"sows the wind," it must expect to
"reap the whirlwind," and if it
"sows to the flesh," it should expect
"of the llesh to reap corruption.
Yours truly. * * *

Liver is King.
The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the
life health and happiness of man. When
it is disturbed in its proper action, all
kinds of ailments are the natural result.
The digestion of food, the movements of
the heart and blood, the action of the
brain and nervous system, are all imme-
diately connected with the workings of
the liver. It has been successfully proved
that Green's August Flower is unequaled
in curing all persons afflicted with dys-
pepsia or liver complaint, nnd nil the
numerous symptoms which result from
an unhealthy condition of the liver and
stomach. ^Sample bottles to try 10 cents.
