General Jewell at the Palmer House yes

The Tribunes St. Louis special says
ono of the most violent and destructive
rain storms that ever visited this city
was that of yesterday morning, In the
lower portions of the city cellars and
easements and in some instances the
first stories of many houses were CON-
pletely flooded, damaging furniture and
merchandise. In the neighborhood of
Twentieth aud Salisbury streets the oc-
eupants OF house were aroused by the
rush of water and in twenty minutes the
water was II or ID feet deep. The in
habitants were compelled to run out
without putting on their clothes in order
TO save their lives. Several men were
compelled to swim in order to reach a
place of safety. The engines and pumps
have been all day pumping water from
easements, cellars and lower floors. 1t
will be many days before hundreds of
houses in various parts of the city can
be made habitable.
Washington special says that high
official who has returned from visit to
the Texas border, reports very deplora
Die condition of things. He says the
outside public has no idea Of the real
condition Of affairs this side of the Rio
Grande. A wide stretch of country is
inhabited by Mexicans; they preporder-
ate to great extent over Americans, and
thereby have control of all of the civil
offices For this reason it is impossible
to secure the conviction of the Mexican
thieves who cross the border to plunde,

The FACTS OF THE CASE.

Rev. II. L. Badger. who has for long
time been engaged in the unremuner
alive occupation OF casting pearls peiore

9th instant for the East, where It ~ his
intention TO remain permanently Nirg.
Enterprise, 10.
To "answer fool according to his
folly" is a scriptural injunction, and
in this case worthy OF literal following,
and were we disposed to descend to the
level of the whisky besotted brain that
evolved the above insult. we might as
sumo the proposition to be correct and
answer that the Rev. ii. l.. Badger would
have left sooner. but was dispensing his
pearls, and holding in reserve plenti-
full supply OF swill, in case the editor OF
the Enterprise should come this way and
be at loss for the corn. mash that is the
basis Of his rotations. But an inherent
self respect leads us to refrain and pre-
sent fow facts in tho case, illustrating
the falsity Of the above slurring allusion.
During the three years that the reverend
gentleman was among us he endeared
himself 10 all by his modest piety and
christian demeanor. Like his Divine
Master, he went around doing good"
In the House Of God. in the rude noun.
tain cabin. in the parlors OF society. he
was always the same upright and sim
cere disciple of Him to whose service
he had dedicated his life. 1t Is not our
purpose to enlarge on his good qualities
however tempting the theme-but will
simply say that while here he had the
good will and confidence OF the entire
community, who nov hold him in afiec
tionate remembrance. II was with re-
gret he left us, and but for the contin-
ued ill-health OF his wife such step
would not have been contemplated. Be-
Iieving that "those who preach by the
gospel should live by the gospel " he was
well supported by his congregation, and
as proof of the feeling of the commu-.
nifty in that respect it is but necessary to
say that shortly before his departure the
ladies OF the congregation organized a
bazaar, and with the proceeds paid off
whatever debts were due on the church
property and presented him with apurse
Of $500. In conclusion, it might be well
for the Enterprise man to follow the ex-
ample OF the Queen in 3" Hamlet, "
Turn thine eyes inward on thy soul. ;"
II he does he will find reflex so horri-
BILE that the delicate allusion to our social
standing as community will be super
latively in excess OF the beastly com
pound therein portrayed.

The Alta California. in a recent article,
takes decided stand against the hang
ing Of the boy murderer. Pomeroy.
II speaks OF him as "child" aud thinks
he is not responsible for his cruelty.
The question Of irresponsibility has been
before the public for some time. and IS
vet no satisfactory conclusion has been
reached by any Of orr courts. This boy
Pomeroy is about sixteen years OF age
and has already killed three human be-
ines. II his unfortunate prediction
for slaughter was confined 10 Kidding the
world Of snakes and yenemous reptiles
of various sorts. we might be disposed
to look upon the matter in q different
way, but as it is We think that the sooner
he is relieved OF the life that manifests
its blooi-thirsty desire in that way. the
better IT will DO for himself and society.
That II is inherent in his nature is to be
regretted; II no killed innocent children
through motives Of malice or revenge, he
might be taught different spirit; but he
kills because he likes IT, it is his pas
time, his favorite amusement, and II he
is sent to prison, the matter will not rest
there. In the years to como some Gov
ernor, with more power than discretion
will be sure to let him loose again, and
with the hardened, deyilish spirit OF the
boy, coupled to the more matured ma
ture Of tho man. he will be forminable
demon. If a human being in the heat
OF passion and smarting under real or
imaginary insult or fore-wrong sheds
blood there may be circumstances con-
nected with the case justifying temper
ing of justice. but the entire absence OF
any such plea is noticeable in this case.
We crush the poisonous serpent that
seeks our lives, and when fortunately
rarely the same spirit manifests itself
in human shape. it should be treated in
the same manner.

The late celebration at Mecklenburg,
N. c., has been productive of one good
effect that was not noticeable at first. 1t
has demonstrated that the age of oratory
has not gone by. Old men have gone
around shaking their heads mournfully
and lamenting over the decadence OF the
present day in that respect, and signing
for the good old days of Henry Clay and
Daniel Webster. Peace to their ashes
The mantle of "the Great Commoner
has fallen on North Carolina man, and
here is how he pours out the glowing
ideas that go careering through his
brains: This day, Ebal and Gerizum,
Sinai and Calvary, Bethlehem and Jeru-
salem, all rise fresh before our memo
ries. We have gathered around those
old affairs Of freedom and hoisted the
hood-gates OF our joys. All the nurse
res of the land ought to be made vocal
with Cardinals songs, and our Juvenile
orators ought TO make them ring in
scholastic defamation in the one hun
bred and forty thousand schools and
colleges in the land Il is time We were
tearing the peoples from our brows and
adjoining them with bays and laureis. +"
While We can not quite follow the line
OF argument, owing to the dizzy nights
to which he ascends, we can not help
admiring the originality of the metaphors
and the beauty Of his comparisons. The
intimate connection between the giving
OF the law 10 Moses at Sinai and declar-
ing the sentiments of the Carolinians at
Mecklenburg is wildly portrayed, and
for beauty Of expression and force of die
ton the passage where he hoists the
food-gates of joy is unsurpassed. A
slight anachronism suggests itself in tue
last sentence. We are Of the opinion
that the adornment of brows is usually
not personal action. The tearing away
the poppies-ft emblems of drowsiues.
might be productive of much immedi
ate good, but it would be well to post
pone the bay aud laurel adornment til
some future occasion and then call il
some of the neighbors to give eelat t,
the occasion. as the law OF prophet,

EooNoMY.-In connection with the re-
cent desire for more economical use OF
the public money and resolution to
that effect incorporated as plank in the
platform of the Ohio Republicans, We
present the following as an illustration
Of how much it il needed. About three
years ago the wages of some of the men
employed on public works at San Fran
cisco and Portland, Oregon, were reduced
twenty per cent. in consequence of a
legal reduction of the hours of labor.
Some slight discrepancy arose in the &C
counts, which could have been very
easily Strengthened ont by the ordinary
facilities OF the mail but instead of
adopting such vulgarly simple way OF
settling the business, Secretary Bout
well dispatched a commission of four
clerks to the Pacific Coast to adjust ac-
counts. They were allowed travelling
expenses and five dollars per day each,
in addition to their regular salaries,
without any definitely prescribed limits
as to time, etc. OF course they avoided
the fatigue of an overland passage by
going around the Isthmus, and took
sixty-two days to make the round trip.
They got 10 cents mile each for 1904
miles, which with their extra allowance
footed up total Of "a, 401,60. The re-
suit achieved was discovery that the
Government owed the San Francisco
laborers $3.50 and tho Portland mer
nothing. This little circumstance has
lately come to light, and shows clearly
how economically thing can be done
when folks go about it the right way.

challenged Mr.. Will Harris to fight
duel, which Mr.. Harris declined accept
ing. but had recource to the law, and Mr..
Buck was fined for violating It. After
that they supposed IL all TO be settled,
until Mr.. win Harris met Buck in the
road and he, Buck. knocked Harris down
and tried TO draw his pistol to shoot him,
but Harris being quicker than Buck re
gained his feet and drew his pistol aud
would have killed Buck II lac had not
begged 80 for his life. After that occur
renee Mr.. Harris concluded to have the
Buck boys bound over to Keep the peace;
the day was set and all the parties had
gone before the justice of the peace to
proceed with the trial. When the Bucks
made their appearance In the court room,
they were armed with pistols and double
barrcled guns. and Mr.. Harris, not
thinking Of the danger that menaccd
him, went unarmed. AZ soon as VIII
Harris went into the court room.
one Of the young Bucks knocked him
down and commenced beating him most
numerically. The parties in the room
attempted to rescue Mr.. Harris from
Buck. but were driven off by his brother
who stood over them and presented
double barreled gun at every person that
attempted To save Harris. Finally Mr..
Charles Buck attempted TO shoot the
magistrate; they closed with each other.
and while trying TO shoot him. Buck
gave his gun a twist and 1t fired, missing
the magistrate and killing Mr.. jim lIar-
ris who was standing in the door. As
soon as Albros Buck saw that Charles
Buck had killed Jim Harris. he jumped
off Of Will Harris and shot him two or
three times through the body, causing in
slant death.
While the Bucks were shooting, several
other parties procured guns and went TO
assist the officers, and. II seems that after
the HAIRLESS were killed. the Bucks in
tended killing every one that they could:
but fortunately they did not hurt any
one else. Both of the HAIRLESS were
wounded so severely that one died that
night, aud the her the next morning.
The parties who killed them are both dead.

verely, and reports say he is awaiting hi

rises.
This is all the informatlont hat we can

both well attended To. and deccntly BIT
ried. Neither of them fired shot, and
both were killed without a struggle. II
