having it hot ftnd heavy in this
city of late. Several meetings
have been broken up by the hood
lam gang. One lady belonging to

Birmingham, Ala., OcV6.—^To-
night a well dreesed and unusually
handsomo young lady, about 18
years of age, approached the ticket
window at the Union denot and
asked come questions about the
schedules of trains between this
city and Nevada, Mo. After she
bad purchased her ticxet she said:
"it I don't tell somebody about
my troubles I feel like I'll die. I
am too heartbroken and sad even
to cry."
She said she belonged to one of
the first families of Nevada, Mo.,
and that she was an only child.
Three months, ago, a well dressed
man with ; prepossesing manners
came to the town where she resid>
ed to spend the summer. He
hailed from a small town in South-
west Alabama, the name of which
she refused to divulge. Soon after
the handsome stranger came to
Nevada, she met him and they
were fioon fast friends. lie repre-
sented himself to be straightfor-
ward in every way, and convinced
her parents of tbat fact. Three
weeks ago Bhe married him. The
marriage .wae-a social event of the
season in Nevada, and was largely
attended £by friends. They left
and took a bridal trip through the
country,'^visiting all the principal
cities. Onq.week ago today they
reached the bride groom's home.
He lived on a large farm aud ap-
peared to be wealthy.
As soon as they arrived she no.
tlced tbat her husband's manner
and treatment to her had suddenly
changed, and upon entering the
bouse found another woman in
possession and several children
playing about the place. In ex-
planation her husband told her
that the woman at the house was
hiB other wife, and would be mis-
tress of the place, and she (the
bride) could remain if she so de-
sired, but she would have to be-
have herself and submit to orders.
He began to be brutal to her and
threatened violence several times.
Although overcome with grief
she kept her wits and behaved
herself. She wrote to her father
for money to come home on with-
*pt explaining the situation, and
a8 aoon as she received the money
shp left. She said that she crept
away from the house and walked
to the railroad station at midnight,
a distance of three ihile^, and
caught the train. She said that
her maiden name wsa Jennie
Buch&nnan, bnt positively refused
to tell the1 naq|p of the man who
cruelly deeeiyed her, or the
Missouri on the Louisville and
Nashville train tonight alone.
Her story w*s evidently true, as
her careworn face showed that she
had sufiered cruel treatment.
A Texas Penitentiary.
Maj, Goree, warden of the Texas
penitentiary, claims to not only
have made the convicts under his
care self-supporting, but to have
turned into the state treasury the
sum of $65,000 after paying aUthe
cost of food, fuel, clothing and
shelter. This amounts to $390
profit from each convict employed.
This result was achieved without
in the least competing with free
labor, the convicts being employed
in raising sugar cane and refining
its juice, which is an industry en-
tirely neglected in Texas.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
APIicky Wife.
Laporte, Ind., Oct 6.—The lit-
tle towa of Warsaw is undergoing
a revival of practical temperance
reform. Mrs. Thomas Wood is
the wife of a prominent citizen,
who is prone to drink. Recently
she served notices on the proprie-
tors of saloons not to sell liquor
to h^r husband. They disre-
garded the notices in every case.
Armed with a stone or hammer or
some other available weight ebe
walks coolly into first one, and
then another of these palaces and
smashes mirrors, bottles, bric-a-
brac or what else comes in her
way. As public sentiment is on
her side theee excursions are tri-
umphant marches. The husband
has promised penitence if she will
desist in these practices. She
threatens to prosecute every sa
loonkeeper in town for violation of
the law.
A Man Killed by a Gin and the Shock
Causes His Sister's Death.
Waco, Tex., Oct. 7.—Saturday
while Mr. Tom Byrum -.^as at
work in his gin near Aquilla, a
station on the Houston and Texas
Central railroad sixteen miles from
Waco, he stumbled and fell for-
ward on the saws and was dread-
fully mangled. His arm wafjyplit
full length from shoulder down,
and his skull cut to the brain.
Death was instantaneous. His re-
mains were moved to4he house of
a neighbor, where the bleeding
brm of the unfortunate man was
*
viewed by his sister, Mrs. Flem-
ng, the sight of which caused her
.o fall in a deathly swoon, from
which she did not recover, but
died soon after. Mr. Byrum of

teemed in this county. The dou-

A Warning to Hvnteiv
A replevin suif involving the
question of parties other than In-
dians having the right to hunt
and trap in the Territory was de
cided recently at Muskogee. By
an agreed statement of facts, it is
shown that Scott, a white man
reeiding at and doing business in
Muskogee; that he went gunning
in July, killed game to be used on
his table ae food. That the In-
dian police, at the instance of
Agent Bennett, confiscated hie
gun and other articles and turned
them over to Bennett, from whom
they were taken by replevin.
The oourt holds the laws for
bidding hunting net to apply to
reaidente of the Territory. Thia
decision by innuendo means that
neighbors'from the states can
not oome acro6s>he lines and en-
gage in the sports of&pnting and
fishing in the Territory.

A Romantic Story.
St. Lonls Post Dispatcn.
A divorce $uit, revealing
mantlTftof^Ss ever caflie out in
the circuit ^urt, will be heard at
the next term. It was filed last
Tuesday by Mariah Miller against
Louis Miller. Louis Miller is a
native ol Russia and about twenty-
five years ago married a pretty
miss of high social standing, with
all the accomplishments and re*
fineuoent a young lady may pos-
sess. The Nihilists were creating
a revolution in the country at that
time and Mr. Miller's buBinebS
failed. A few years later he left
his wife and child and came to the
United States. He settled in this
oity and by thrift and economy ac-
cumulated a snug sum. He al-
ways eent eome money to his wife
every month and a brisk corres-
pondence was carried on for sev-
eral years. His mother-in-law
died and his wife went further into
the interior of Russia. Letters
did not reach her at her new home
nor did her her letters reach him.
A few years ago he received a let-
ter that his wife was dead. He
mourned her loss for several years
and in 1887 met with a lady he
loved and married. He was still
making money and living in com-
fort. The wife in Russia had not
died and not hearing from her
husband she thought him dead.
She determined to learn what had
become of him, and in the early
part of this year landed in New
York with her son, now »- grown
man. She located in Balimore
and he came on to St: Louis where
he secured a position ae clerk. He
picked up a number of acquaint-
ances among the Russians of ibie
city, who also knew his father,
and seeing a striking resemblance
between the young new comer and
the old gentleman brought them
together. Mrs. Miller was called
from Baltimore, and the meeting
was very affecting. Mother and
son were received as though re-
covered from the grave. Mrs. Mil-
ler, the seoond, taking in the sit-
uation at a glance, resolved to
make a great sacrifice and imme
diately released Mr. Millar,

A Mass of Plg-lros Falls and Demol-
ishes a Bob-Tall Car.
Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 7.—An
accident, as peculiar as it was
painful,; occurred *t the Tift
bridge over the*Brie Canal at West
avenue about 3 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. As a Caledonia avenue
street car passed over the bridge
about 1500 poondl of pig iron fell
from the top of the bridge, strik-
ing the car and ogt demolish-
ing it. The car was or the bob tail
variety and obtained fifteen pas-
sengers. Fdtfc^fcf these were
seriously hurt, and Mary Biilffiig-
ham, a 10-year-old girl, and John w
Mitzler, a middle-aged man, are *
not expected to survive. They
were both hit on the top of "fthe'
head as the mass of meJtt'Crajned
through tbfe roof *-of lfr$'caV and
were rendered tarattiseititis.' The*
girl was taken' to her home and
the man to the oity hospital. Two
ladies, names unknown, were
^severely braised, bat at onoe
hailed a oab and drov» off and the
extent of their injuries cannot be
learned. The mass of pig iron
was used as a counter weight in
lifting the bridge. The accident
was caused by the breaking of tfae
west cable, which released the
iron. The accident caused the
stopping of the ferry boate and a
dozen street cars.

It is refreshing to notioe that
the howls and jeers of "free trade"
have not prevented Demooratio
state conventions from
that the war taxes shall be redaoed
to a peace footing and tariff reform
insisted npon. Tariff is simply a
tax, and it is a pity that the latter
word was not retained in place of
the former, which is misleading.
The platform of our own state con-
vention should speak boldly on "
the subject of war taxes andf espec-
ially insist that the raw materikla

was taken off of hides, and the ^
