Homicide.

Last Friday at Trotter's Landing, in the
lower part of Arkansas, on the Mississippi
river, was enacted terrible tragedy, re-
sulting in homicide. Ayoung man named
Alexander became involved in disagreeable
relations with his brother-in-law, Morgan,
concerning the property of his deceased
father, resulting in the latter's death. He
was shot in the breast by young Alexander,
who discharged the contents of a DOUBLE
barrel shot gun, being within a few feet OF
his victim when he fired. We have been
unable to learn what justification there was
for this act, resulting as it did in the instant
death of Morgan.

ADnw Law Wanted.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
Is there no way of getting rid of the
worthless ours that are bowling and fight
ing under your very windows, night after
night, disturbing whole community? If
the owners of these terrible pests viii not
of their own accord remedy it, cannot our
City Fathers lay aside the '.hOg law" for
the present, and devote small portion of
their time for the enactment of a "dog law
that will have the effect Of removing these
logged nuisances, and thereby allow that
refreshing sleep so much needed by the
workingmen and women, or those who are
languishing upon beds of sickness? Mr..
Editor, help US, for it is not possible for us
to bear it much longer. N

Formidable Admouition suggested.

A gentleman Of the legal profession who
thinks the pistols now in use by the Police
Department are unnecessarily formidable
weapons, expresses the opinion that they
ought to be mounted on wheels and dragged
around by horses, as a sort of public admo-
milton in behalf of good conduct. He thinks
it would hardly be possible to preach more
effective sermons

HOW unnecessary tha anguish MANY

HOW unnecessary the anguish many
persons undergo from rheumatism, govt,
neuralgia, toothache and earaehe. We say
unnecessary, because the application Of
Mexican Mustang Liniment to the affected
part, or few drops Of it in the ears or tooth,
affords instantaneous, and what is better,
permanent relief. For cuts, wounds,
bruises, swellings, and all injuries or dis
eases which require treatment externally
this iniment is everywhere regarded as the
most potent and reliable healing agent in
existence. For all external injuries or all
ments of horses and cattle, it is infalhble.
