TERRIBLE HONICIDE.

From prominent cattle dealer, who ar
rived in the city yesterday, We learn tL'
following brief particulars in relation TO {
terrible homicide which took plsce in Mis-
souri, (Nudaway county, on or about
Wednesday OF this week. II was all about

nent merchant of Maryville. has for some
time pas. been engaged in the cattle business
with . couple of partners. A few months
ago he vent to Southern Kansas with these
men to purchase herd 10 drive to Missouri.
Some dissatisfaction arose between Alexan.
der and the other men and he came home,
leaving them to bring the herd through.
They arrived in Nodaway q few days
since, and on Wednesday Alexander we,t
out to have the cattle divided. Alexander
had left double-barreled shot gun In Kan
sas for the other men 70 bring home, and
first took 1t from the wagon They then pro-
ceeded to make division Of the cattle. Al
exander and the ether men could not agree.
and IN angry dispute arose between them,
the two men finally attempting an assault on
Alexander. The latter warned them Of,
and discharged one barrel Of the gun TO

ever, when Alexander fred the other barrel
directly At ose Of the other men, shooting
him in the crown Of the head, and killing
him instantly. Alexander went to Marys-
vile and gave himself mp to the azthori-
tsee.

BASTARDY.
A Case Involving the Ownership
Of a Child.

Yesterday Judge GARDENERS court was the
scene of more than ordinary excitement.
Early in the morning festive colored dam
eel by the name Of Nancy Oldam stalked
serenely into the room, deposited upon the
lounge a bundle of calico in which was
wrapped little saddle colored shaver, about
four weeks old, and calmly told the Judge
that she wanted the father Of " dat brat" ar
rested and brought into her presence.
On inquiry it ives sscertained that the
child was the consequence Of illicit love be-
tween the blooming Nancy and one William
Scott, colored laborer, who gains an honest
livelihood by vigorously showing the polish
ing brush over rusty stoves. A warrant was
at once issued and an officer started out to
look mp the offending William. He wac
found engaged in his pleasant pastime. and
when brought into court and confronted by
the irate Nancy he began to turn pale in
spots. The charge on which he was arrested
vas read to him and he was asked what he
had to FAY for himself. He could hardly
realize his position. but managed to stammer
out that cit was difficult to tell whose child
dat was" He wanted the trial poisoned
till he could procure witness =" ;tove that
the child belonged to some oue else, and the
court granted the indulgence. Nancy's
statement was taken and William
placed under bond Of $500 to appear on
Saturday for trial. 1t seems from Nancy's
statement that one day last week she carried
the child down to the store where William
worked and left it on the floor, telling him
che must take care of the brat his,if," ss
she would have nothing to do with it.
William vas at first thunderstruck, but
Nancy had gone. and 40. a. be said, he toted
the Young ecion down to Nancy's house and
left it there with her mother. william lie q
married man, having a wife and three
children living in the country.

TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.
An Evil that Ought to be Rene
died ut Once.
Sensible Suggestion from an Old
Citizen.

There hiss been considerable complaint of
late in relation to the strict enforcement Of
| the rule laid down by the School Board, that
pupils shall not be admitted TO the school
rooms before a certain hour. We. therefore
give place to the following communication
on the subject. and hope the evil will he
remedied at once.
Edilor 7in>s.
Permit NE, through the columns Of your
widely read paper, to respectfully invite the
attention of those who control our public
schools, TO an abuse which should he
remedied at once. refer to the fact that
children attending our schools. and who with
their parents, are anxious that they should
be found in their seats betimes, are compelled
these bitter cold mornings. TO stand in the
streets waiting for the onter gates to be open
ed for their admission into the school IN
closures even.
One of the janitOr, informed me that he
had orders to keep the gates barred against
the children until s O'Clock. the school
taking up at o'clock sharp. II scholars are
moment late they are marked down "a tar
dy, which reduces their personal standing in
the school. SIS we'll a. that of the standing Of
the whole room or grade to which they be-
long. This may be all right, but in the
name of reason and humanity, admit these
prompt and Jealous learners at once into the
school houses, when they arrive, instead Of
endsngering their health and lives. by keep.
ing them in the streets for one minute dn-
ring this inclement weather.
A asked group of about twenty children,
principally little siris. as they stood huddiea
together on the sidewalk in front Of the
Third avenue school house Yesterday mora
ing, il they were suffering from cold, and
they almost unanimously signiiied they were;
and yet they feared TO enter the gates before
tie ;aniior sieniiied his pleasure.
One little urchin, more ragged than HE |
fellows, who had managed to keep his blood |
in circulation by nj Of exercise, exclaimed,
"Why, this is nothing, when you get usei to
it." Another, more thinly clad, and Of less
vitality, replied "Yes. but who wants to
stand out IN the cold Of night. and Sun lays
to get used 10 H."
The reason of my calling attention to this
matter, through the aseScy Of the press, il.
that have been informed that the subject
has been discussed BY the school board, and
dropped a. Of no importance. hope this is
A mistake upon the part Of my informant.
Gentlemen of the board, ] eniEeat yos;, act
1t once, and open the doors Of the school
houses for the little ones whenever they pre-

The Cost Of Living.

The question of reduction in the price
Of the necsssaries of life is now attracting the
attention Of the public mind, the widely e1.
pressed opinion being that there should be a
corresponding change in the retail, as is nov
20 apparent in the retail, markets. The fact
10 the retail dealers do not seem to realize
what q change has taken place since the
present monetary depression commenced.
The people find that they must live economi-
cally and buy the staple commodities for
household use whereverthey can be obtained
at the lowest possible figure. The city deal
es must wake up to this view of the case,
and be content with a fair profit instead Of
the ruinous advances on wholesale prices
which they now demand.
In many cases poor people. who are
obliged to buy BY small measure, are swim
died outright BY extortinate dealers. The
advance in the price OF vegetables in many
cases is simply outrageous.
The profits are in excess of those of the
palmy days of the war, when the huckstera
and butchers smiled, and made the gold
premium the pretext for doubling their
money on everything sold. Why should
they do it now, in the face Of panic, and
depression of all business generally?
Meat on the hoof is cheap and abundant,
hut when hung up in the market It is sold for
double its cost.
The people have the remedy in their own
hands by which they can counteract the ef-
forts of these unfeeling dealers. Let them
determine to buy only of those merchants
Who show BY the reduction they make in their
goods that they appreciate the present situa-
tion, and buy only what is necessary for i'm
mediate household wants. The great macs
of dealers will very soon understand the mat
ter, and We shall speedily see the "shrink-
age" in prices that Is 20 much needed for the
good of the community.

Dome still question at times whether all Of it

Dut advertising in some form, selecting "a

favors they give in trade, ETC., to friends and
Others, all of which are some of the modes:.of
advertising, while many and most people
adopt almost every conceivable way to make
