that q. A. Hutchinson, Of Chengwatonna, an
old resident, and formerly sheriff OF the coun-
try, had been shot and killed at his own resi-
dence at about 11:3O O'Clock the evening
previous. His family who are half-breeds,
claim that Hutchison shot himsels with q
Winchester rifer but the evidence taken at the
ceroner's inquest showed most conclusiyely
that such could not have been The case, and
suspicion points very strongly to the fact that
he was killed by the wife or son. The vile is

o'NEIL-wILsoN.
AT Trinity Episcopal church, by
the Rev. p. A. Fits. on Saturday
night, 81 inst, Henry, only son Of
Major d. j. O'Neil, late of Her Ma
jesty's service, to Louise, daughter Of
Mrs. DR.. Hopson, Hopkinsville, Ky.
1t is seldom that we have witnessed
such matchless beauty of mind aud
form as was united at Trinity Epis-
copal church, when the Rev. DR.. Fits
linked together two souls in whom the
rare loneliness of one is only equalled
by the vast intellectual powers of the
other, and whose noble qualities Of
heart are net to be. surpassed.
A few of the immediate members Of
the family were invited, but the
church was oue-third filled with friends
who were DESTROYS Of seeing an event
which, to old and young alike, seems
full of interest. DIR. Johnson the
lady's uncle, gave the bride away;
and although, as was intended, the
wedding was very quiet. it was a very
impressive one. All were deeply
struck, during the cere mony, by the
firm responses of both bride and
groom, and the intonation Of whose
voices indicated not alone from cult
ure and refinement but also the fact
that they fully realized the solemnity
of the occasion and that, from the
heart, they plighted their mutual
troth. Since two, in the very morn
ing of life, have been made SO SUI
premely happy, we must not murmur
at, although we cannot but deplore
the loss to society ola belle 30 widely
known, esteemed, and beloved. True
to woman's mission she has blessed
the life of one, who, in his time, we
are sure, will prove worthy other, and
while Miss Wilson's many, admiring
friends will regret their loss, yet she
has their heartfelt congratulations
in her new lie.
Mr.. O'Neil a gentleman of the most
finished education, acquired not alone
through much study but also by ex.
tensive travel, is the son Of an officer
of high standing in the British Army
and is, indeed, fortunate in having
won a treasure SO often sought anC
sought in vain. We believe DIR
O'Neil purposes to devote his futur,
to the practice Of law, In which, i
ability and scholarship avail, he il
bound to make his mark. 1t is on
sincere wish that fortune smile kindly
over these two hearts that beat as one
and tn at they may long enjoy tina
happiness which their faces prove the,
have now realized. j. j.

Eugene Mills.

Among the many important i'm
provenents OF the last year In the
city, none are more worthy than
the large Touring mills of Messrs. l..
e. Il L. Wood, in the eastern SUBJ
urbs of the city. We had the pleas
uro OF visiting tho mills few even
ings since, and found everything
about the building aud machinery
entirely new and of the most approx
ed quality fworkinanship,and fitted
up in a style of grandeur which We
had imagined belonged olly to the
larger cities.
To begin at the bottom the under
ground apartment where the wheels
that turn the mill are seen, contains
only the very best and strongest ma
tcrials. On the first floor are four
burrs upon husk frame made entire
ly of white pine and walnut, and fin
ished up almost like piece of pine
furniture. The wheat or corn is con-
veyed to sinks only few feet from
the entrance and distributed by ele-
vators to oil parts of the building.
The mill is double, being providing
with both merchant and custom trade
facilities. On the second floor the
principle objects arc the Becker
wheat brush, the very best, two snow
fake purifiers, seven stock hoppers
and Hughes oran.duster. The
third floor contains the modern bolt
ing chest, and the Eureka shutter,
these being clothed In Dufour's best
clothes. The next floor has Burnard
& Lees wheat separator, dust room
the whole length Of The room, aud a
Champion corn cleaner. All of the
spoutingis made OF the best white
pine and put together with screws.
The machinery runs so smoothly that
one would hardly know 1t was run
ming without seeing It.
Tho mill is running to forces and
turning on l25 barrels of -four per
day, and is ten days behind with or
ders. The owners have about 9,00t
bushels of the very best wheat we
have seen, on hand. Their brands o
flour are unsurpassed aud seldom
equaled. These gentlemen are among
our most enterprising, reliable
and valuable citizens, and deserve thu
patronage of an appreciative public
Our advice to every farmer would b,
take your wheat to Eugene Mills.
