A Wretch Very Properly shoots Him.
self After Killing hia wife.
ST. LOUIS, March s.-Charles II,
Burklin living at 50 South Fifth street,
shot his wife about seven o'clock this
evening, and then shot himself. Mrs.
Burklin had two wounds, one Just be-
low the nipple, the other In the abdo-
men, and Is lying in a critical condi-
ton. Burklin's wound Is In the CEN
tire Of his forehead and although he Is
not dead he cannet recover. Burk-
lin is represented as a worthless and
dissipltated man and very abusive
to his wife; while she Is said to be a
very estimable woman and has sup
ported her husband for the past two
years. The immediate cause of the
shooting seems to have been Mrs.
Burklin's announcement that she de-
signed to apply for divorce.

complimentary notice Of him which
appeared in that widely circulated
and influential Conservative Demo-
cratic paper, the Little Rock Gazette,
Of yesterday morning:
HON. Q. X. UNDERWOOD.
The arrival Of this gentleman in the city
calls to mind the fact that bis name has
recently been prominently mentioned in
connection with the Office Of governor Of
this State, and few words msy not be
Inappropriate. Judge Underwood Is one
OF she oldest newspaper men In the State
He established the Helena Shield, II we
mistake not, in 1910, and from that time
TO the present, with few intervals, has
conducted its columns In person. Prior
70 tne war he was identified with the
Wing party, which was always In the mi
nority In this State, though the Shield
exerted powerful influence in Eastern
Arkansas. At the breaking out OF the
wsr the Shield remained true TO the . MON
and all the influence that It could exert
sgsinst secession was brought to bear.
When the war commsDced In earnest, for
3 time the Shield suspended publication,
the editor remaining at home throughout
the war. Al the clcss ofthe struggle Judge
Underwood affiliated with the Republican
party W D6u EeCDuhbIucbAou CaAu0 aAOIk
he was appointed by Governor Clayton
county probste Judge of Phillips, and
held that office a. this time, The Shield
was given the public printing also, but
Judge Underwood, refusing to indorse all
the wrongs and outrages Of the Clayton
regime, the printing Tes taken away
from him, and bestowed on another paper,
the editor of which, although Ike Judge
Underwood sn old resident of the State,
was willing 70 and does indorse the frauds
Of Clayton & Co. Judge Underwood has
never engaged In or indorsed the wrong
doings Of the party with which he sfin-
sted, and is recognizes I'd to-day IS one of.
the honest, unfinching friends Of right.
he Is prominently connected with the
Helena and Iron Mountain railroad.
which enterprise, we are informed, is in
fair way to be pushed to completion.
Judge Underwood is q fine specimen of
the original, unfsltsriDg UniOn men Of the
South, who, while they refused to engage
in the war against the nation, were too
noble to perseeute their neighbors and
friends at its Close. Should the Liberal Re-
publican element, with which Judge Un-
derWood has identified himself, put for
ward such q standard bearer, it would not
only add respectability TO their party, but
bring to It the strength Of the greater
portion Of the original Union men of ths
Stste,

The large clock at the English Par
lament House Is the largest one in
the world. The four dials Of this clock
are twenty-five feet in diameter. Ev-
cry half minute the point of the
minute hand moves nearly seven
inches. The clock will go eight and a
half days, but it only strikes for seven
and half, thus Indicating any neglect
in winding 1t up. The mere winding
up of the striking mechanism takes
tV hours. The pendulum is fifteen
feet long; the wheels are Of cast-ir0n ;
the hour bell Is eight feet high and
nine feet ia diameter, weighing nearly
fifteen tons, and the hammer alone
weighs more than four hundred
pounds. This clock strikes the quarter
hours, and by its strokes the short
hand reporters in Parliament regulate
their labors. At every stroke 8 new
reporter takes the place Of the old one,
while the frst retires to write out the
notes he has taken during the previous
Alteen minutes.

Mr.. ShaDks, from the committee on
Indian affairs, reported a bill author
negotiate with the Ute Indians of Col
orado for the extiDguishment of their
title to the southern part Of their re-
servation. He explained that the re-
servation contained fourteen million
acres, including valuable mineral
lands, while the Indians only num-
bered four thousand. It is desirable to

dred dollars bounty to soldiers-their

tered into service prior 10 the I'd Of
July, 1861, up to which time no bum
ties were allowed, was taken up.
Mr.. Coburn, from the committee on
military affairs, estimated the amount
to be paid hereunder at not over ST.
900, 900.
Mr.. Holman, while supporting the
bill, urged a proposition equalizing

diers who were mustered in before the

act OF April 10, 1869, after having at
tanned the age of seventy years and
held their commission at least twenty
years, the pension TO commence from
The date of the passage of the bill.
He said the bill would only cover { Ro
cases-those of Judge Ware, of Maine,
who had served fOrty-four years, and
was now ninety years of age and poor,
and Judge Sprague, of Massachu-
sets, who had resigned in 1866 be-
cause he had become almost totally
blind.
After some little discussion the bill

unittee of the whole on the postOfice
appropriation bill. The bill sppropri-
ates $2S, ,25O,O 600.
Mr.. Dawes, chairman Of the COM
mittee of ways and means, made a
statement showing how the balance
sheet of the treasury was being con-
stantly changed by each days legisla-
ton OF congress. There were certain
appropriations which were absolutely
necessary. The public faith to the
creditors Of the country required a
provision to be made for the payment
of the interest on the public debt.
Then there were public Expenditures
which. however much they may vary
from year to year, must be net by
the appropriation bills. He wished
to call the attention OF the house and
the country, to what may be denomi-
mated absolutely necessary expenses
of the government for the coming
wear. Taking IS an estimate the pub
lie expenditures as a starting point,
then the amount required, without
reference to the payment of the public
debt, was $273, 600, 900. The house had
added to that large sums by bills al
ready passed.
Mr., Dawes presented long list Of
appropriations by which the treasury
wss being depleted.

State committee of the Liberal Re
publican party of Arkansas, was
held in that city, and 1t was deter
mined to hold a State convention on
the 18th Of June, to nominate candi-
dates for the various State Offices
TO make a bold effort to redeem the
State from the proscriptive one-man
power that has for nearly four years
been an incubus upon the life and en-
.ergies of the taxpayers Of that COM
rmonyealth. Delegates have also
been appointed to the Liberal Re
publican National convention that
meets in Cincinnati in May. That
delegation consists Of the following
named gentlemen:
