Judge Elliott, OF Frankfort, KY, Killed
ON the htrcef.


Judge ]. N. Elliott, of the Court of APP
peals, was assassinated and instantly killed
on the street, in front of the Capital Hotel,
Frankfort, KY, by Thomas Buford, of
Henry County. Judge Elliott had rem.
dered an adverse opinion in a case
Buford had had in Court for some time.
Buford loaded a double barreled shotgun
and waited for Elliot to come 10 dinner, and
walked up and shot him through the heart
without any warning. Buford was ar
rested. There was great excitement and a
strong feeling against him. Buford, after
arrest, acknowledged that the other barrel
of the gun was loaded for Judge Pryor, and
he would have killed him also, had not
some children been in the way. He is a
brother of General Abe Buford, of Woodford
County.

Nevertheless, he fancies that some

Arkansas OutIavry.

On Sunday night the town of Fayetteville
was entered by a mounted band of about
twenty armed men. Several of them pro-
ceeded ON foot to the southeast corner of
the Public Square, where both barrels of a
shotgun loaded with buckshot were dis
charged into a window of the Sentinel ofice.
The party then moved deliberately by the
residences of A. P. Farmer, Reuben Carter,
and c.. L. Summers, into all of which they
fred shotted guns. The two parties jcined
near Summers, where they remounted and
galloped off on the West Fork Road. There
is no doubt the party was composed of the
men who a week or more before had threat.
ened the town in revenge for the death of a
desperate Reed, who was killed at the Jail.
The State Guards, after the pacific resolu-
tons of the citizens meeting held by Reeds
friends, had disbanded, and this sudden at.
tack in the dark found the city defenseless,
and hence it was unchecked. Fortunately
no one was hurt.

Suicide of an Uncle and Niece I'm Boone
County, Mo. Cause

VI - ACAC oAAt GNANCC Us A1OOAAC
County, MO. Cause
A Sedalia, No., dispatch says a shocking
affair was enacted Saturday night in the
neighborhood of Bethlehem Church, Boone
County. James Rowland, a well-to-do
bachelor farmer, had a niece, Miss Julia
Rowland, keeping house for him. Sunday
morning his brother came on a visit, found
the doors bolted and windows fastened, and
hearing groans inside, forced open the
door and found his brother in a pool of
blood, a revolver by his side, and a bullet
hole in his head. On the bed lay Miss
Rowland, dead, with a photograph by her
side, on which was written:
"DEAR SISTER: have taken poison, and
am going to my long and happy home.
Please forgive me for this"
Rowland was still alive, but refused to
give any reason for the terrible affair. A
rumor is current that Miss Rowland's lover
was not acceptable to her uncle, and rather
than suffer separation, she took poison, and
that Rowland, viewing the sad consequences,
attempted 10 take his own life.

MALARIOus HEADACHE

Which returns at regular periods, sun pain, neuralgia, biliousness, dumb ague, chills and fever, are immediate ly and permanently cured By the use of a few doses of Days Ague Tonic. It never fails to cure long standing cases. Its peculiar combination is such that the cures are made by a prompt action upon all the secretions, thus thoroughly antagonizing the miasmatic poison. Days Asue Tonic is recieved kindly by the stonach, produces no un- pleascnt symptoms and contains no in- furious drugs. Two or three doses of the syrup have cured a child in many cases. One dose taken before breakfast IS an effectlial prevention to those who may be exposed to "a malarious section.

A WOMAN'S LOSS.

It has now become niooted question among scientists whether or not wom- ans primative beauty and vigor, which have been lost, could iiot be restored and extended by the action of certain constitutional agents. These agents mast necessarily regulate and build up, fotify,and ahtagonize all existing female irregularities and obstuctions which have produced the ill health, must re- vitaziile the blood and gve youthful bloom to the cheeks. The remedy must unload the locked up secretions, must add red corpuscles to the blood, aid digestion and stregaen the feeble. We are glad to announce that such 8 remedy has been found, and thousands of ladies are being restored by it's use. It is khown as Dr. Drouigdole's English Female Bitters.

The Van Bureu AJgus Is strenu

The Van Buren AIgus Is strenu- ousIy opposed to the granting of the state lands to railroads. This paper placed itself on record on that subject last week, and we are glad to see that so able contemporary as the Argus entirely agrees with cs on this point. The State should keep her lands for homesteads for poor men. We think the plan of exempting capital invested in railroad building for number of years is better way to encourage the building of roads that we need. And we think when that Is done, enough is done.

This surface is quite delicate, and frequently by the use ofstrong or violent pnrgativees this tract is horribly toru; irritate,i and con- vulsed by their igriping action, which affects the whole system. You do not need pills, but you neen gentle invig- oratiug tonic action, something that will give new vigor to the stomach and general system, by gently clearing ths the pleasant cathartic action desired. By its Saline action it is wonderful pre- ventive against diseases, having their origin from exposure of hot or cold cli- mates.

The bill for the relief of Gen


 The bill for the relief of Gen. R. c. Newton, late treasurer of the State, ought to be passed. While the Supreme Court has held Gen. Newton and his sureties bound for the amount of money supposed to have been on disposit in the Stodard bank, and receipted for as a part of the finds belonging to. the State, no one believes that Gen. Newton is Lo blame for the loss. The fact is, the money was lost to the.- State be. fore Gen. Newtor assumed the office of treasurer, and in strict justice ne should not be held accountable. L. R. Democrat.
 Our sympathies are with General Newton, but we must differ with onf respe ctcd contemporary on this matter. It was through carelessness that the money was lost to the State, and altho' 1t will be hardship to General Newton and his sureties the money should be made out of them. It is an obligation they assumed when Gen. N. accepted the office and they became his sureties, and unless we hold every obligor on of flcial bonds strictly accountable under those bonds, we see no use in taking the bonds in the first place. Strict jus tice demands that the loss be made good, although 1t may be hardship to Gen. Newton and his sureties.

REDUCINfs TAxATIoN.

1 We all want the burden Of taxation llghte led, and the question is how can we most speedily obtain relief. To our mind the easiest and quickest way is to increase the amount oftaxable property In the State and Increase the number of taxpayers.
 If we have $500, 900, 900 of taxable property, the rate of taxation rcqui r. ed to raise sufficient sum to defray the expenses of the State government will be much less than If we have only sSs,- 100000. If we have 5000, 900 taxpayers, the burden for each man to bear will certainly be much less than If we have only so,0o0.
 The speediest way to increase the number of our taxpayers and the amount of our taxable property Is to get railroads. Ii we can get plenty of railroads trayersing our State, up and down our rich valleys, we will soon get a population of a million people. Our waste and idle lands will be taken up and make productive and taxable. All the new corners will add some- thing to our tax lists and we will soon find that with very light tax devided between so many of us the burden will be much lighter on each one.
 The only way we can get an increas- ed population and increased tax lists is to open up our country by Railroads. Hence we are for the encouragement of railroad building in Arkansas by ex- empting capital thus invested, for the next ten years. And then, again, if we can get competing lines of railroads it will break down transportation. mo- nopolies of single lines, and make rates for transportation and passengers low.
 The end to be attained justifies the means.
