HISTORY OF LITTLE JOHNNY.

Little Johnny went TO view
The circus and the flip-nap clippers,
Johnny tried the hip-nap, too;
Now he wears the golden slippers.
While they turned these things at will
In the air or anywheres,
Johnny turned one higher still
Turned clear up the golden stairs.

who was suspected of having thrown
into the Mississippi at the Slaughter
house, one Edward Fee, ana inquir-
ing as to whether a man of that name
was really missing. Colonel Longley
at once telegraphed to arrest and hold
the man.
The history Of the couple is a ro-
mantle one. II is learned that Fee is
a young man from Louisville, Ky.
who several years ago engaged himself
to his present wife. a daughter Of a
most respectable citizen of Louisville,
Mr.. jerome Sinclair. Wishing, how
ever, to first make a fortune, the
bridegroom removed to Texas, whence
he returned to Louisville in the COM
mencement of the present month.
He stated that he had amassed
100000, and the marriage ceremony
was performed on the 9th inst. AT
the time of the mysterious disappear
ance Of the bridegroom the pair we're
on their way to their Texan home.
Mr.. Fee is described as Of gentleman
" exterior, and not addicted to drink.

SUMNER COUNTY.
Another View of the /: Matter
Why the Sumner County
People Paid the Tax.


Correspondence 10 the World.l
GALLATIN, November 26;-It has
been said that the reason the people
of Sumner county have paid their
taxes SO promptly is to show that they
give the 100 3measure their approval.
Such a conclusion is far-ietched; there
is no logical reason for such an asser-
ton. The idea is sheer nonsense, and
those who promulgate such an idea do
it for effect. They have taken this
course to re-establish the faith the
advocates Of the bill once had, but
who, after seeing the injustice of it,
and the foul Q by which it was
enacted, have turned against it.
There are obvious reasons for an
early settlement OF taxes, the most i'm
portant of which is to avoid an addi-
tional expense which would necessari-
ly follow a delay beyond a stipulated
time. Knowing this, the taxpayers
of our county fastened to realize a
sufficient amount of cash by disposing
Of live stock, lumber, etc., TO meet the
demands Of the taxgatherer. The Bit
terest opposers of the bill have paid
their taxes; they did it for their per-
sonal interest and not for political eff
feet, as some would have it appear.
They knew the earlier the settlement
Of their dues to the State was made
the better.
Your correspondent is constantly
thrown with representative men from
every district in the country, and he
has never come in contract with a mar
who sanctions the 1908 enactment
On the other hand, hundreds of mer
have expressed themselves in unmis.
taxable terms as being not only op-
posed to the infamous measure, but
eternally and forever down on the
bosses and their dupes who sold the
rights of the people for the pitifu'
consideration Of a few dollars. They
do not whine and whimper abouI
heavy taxes and hard times and pra.
for mercy at the hands of the ring
but with a high sense of justice the
demand their rights, they demand
that the 1908 bill shall be repealed.

WILD BILL.
A New Version of the Causes aud
Manner of His Death.

Columbia (Ol GaIetts.l
There has been going the rounds Of
the press a very sweet story in refer
euce to the heroism and gallantry Of
VIM. J. Hickok, otherwise known as
"Wild Bill" wherein the attempt is
made to show that his death at Dead
wood was a most cowardly aud cause
less murder. The truth OF the muir
der or killing Of this notorious cut
throat and coward is simply this.
Along about 1870 OF 1871, Bill cruelty
and cowardly shot a poor inofensiye
German baker named 0derfelt, at
HAYS City, Kansas, because after hav-
ing called for some Of the bakers
goods aud eaten them, 0derfelt asked
Tor pay. Bill became very indignant,
and reaching over the counter
pulled 0derfelt's head down, and
placing his pistol at his ear, fred two
shots, killing him instantly. Bill then
defed any of the witnesses to arrest
him and proceeded out on the street
and entering Metals saloon, callsd
for liquor, aud after obtaining it re-
fused to pay, whereupon be remarked
that he had just sent a Dutchman to
, and now he was going to send
an Irishman to keep him company,
and firing struck Mccall in the breast,
from the effects OF which he died the
day following. McCall's brother Jack,
who was engaged at a restaurant fur
ther up the street, hearing Of the diff
fculty, but not knowing that bis
brother had been shot, came down and
saw Bill entering a1other saloon pis-
tol in hand, and drawing his own
weapon commanded Bill to throw uI
his hands. Bill did SO and quiv
cred like a leaf Jack Mccall
then ordered Bill to leave the
town at midnight on a freight train
that would pass through, otherwise, il
be saw him in town after midnight he
would shoot him down like a dog
Bill left as directed, and that was the
last heard OF him for several years.
The meanwhile Jack Mccall, upon
learning of his brothers death, deter
mined to follow Bill AMI kill him on
sight, and finally overlook him in a
gambling hell in Deadwood. and call
ing on him to defend himself, waited
until Bel reached for his pistol and
then fred, killing him instantly. Nc
Call was subsequently, tried and
hanged for the murder, while Bill was
glOri6ed as a hero.
In the West, where this blood
thirsty wretch was best known he was
recognized as an infamous, treacherous
coward, and aside from his de1trous
use Of the pistol and utter disregard Of
human life. was regarded as a big
BOBBY, and as a man that never dared
meet a nan on equal footing.

Poisons in Onr Fooh.

Paper Read Before the Nd. Academy Sciences
The use Of beer, generally recognized
as a wholesome drink, has become
much less general because of the sus-
pected use Of harmful bitters and
grape sugar. A large piece Of this SO
called grape sugar, taken from the
hands Of a youth in this city, who said
his father manufactured it, proved,
upon analysis, TO contain a quantity Of
sulphuric acid, enough to destroy some
half-dozen sets Of good teeth Asthis
sugar is largely used in adulterating
cane sugar, candies and numerous
other articles Of luxury and necessity,
further comment is unnecessary.
Yeast powders are made and sold
here which contain soluble salts of
aluminium. The use Of tin in sugar.

This most romantic account Of the
courtship Of NJ. Wilson and Mile.
Grevy is given by The Queen: Mime.
Wilson Pelouze placed her legal
affairs in the hands Of NJ. Grevy. This
seems to have been the origin of the
friendship between the two families.
NJ. Wilson, the brother Of Nine.
P%elouze, was then eighteen years old,
and NJ. CREWS daughter Alice ten.
For two-and twenty years they re-
NAMED on the kind of terms on which
first cousins Of equal fortune stand in
England. NJ. Grevy was to Daniel
Wilson a sage adviser and reliable
friend. 1t was he who. when the
young man was going wrong, per-
Gnaded him to turn over a new leaf.
However, NJ. Wilson disappeared from
bis Partisan haunts, and Nile. Grevy,
who was in the habit Of
seeing him at dinner, felt lonely
and miserable, and sought
consolation in music and her pencil,
becoming in the course Of time an ac-
complished artist. NJ. Wilson. after
having amended his waysin lorraine,
returned as a legislator. 1t now ap.
pears that Mile, Greyy and NJ. vii
son at that time often thought Of mar.
riage, but he felt that he vas unwor-
thy to ask her, and she did not dare
to show her preference Tor him. Al
last, however, Mile. Alice got tired Of
playing the game Of patience aud re-
solved on a coup de etat. Paris was
astonished to hear that she had signi-
fed her intention to her parents OF
giving her hand to a tenor who was
the rage at the end Of the last decade,
He was the cousin Of a cousin Of
Nine. Greyy, and, as such, had been
made welcome by her. Wilson's
Britannia difidenee, and a feeling
that he did not deserve
the bright, origipsl, winsome
Mile. Grevy, still held him back Al
this critical juncture the deus * ma
china stepped in. Il was through the
Dreyfuses that NJ. Wilson learned
what Mile. Alice wished him TO do.
The Under Secretary for Finances
was enchanted to hear this, but he
had not the courage to make a formal
declaration to the young lady until he
went in September to Mont-sous-V au-
drey with N. Jules Ferry. Here the
very long lane came at last to a turn.
ing. M. Wilson proposed, aud was
accepted. The interval between the
episode Of proposing-in a country
lane, Of course-and the marriage was
passed as If the lovers were English.
Wilson each day became more abb
in the Presidents daughter,
more expansive, more visibly en-
chanted. No doubt he thought her
he most incompatible OF Ewes
daughters. La one respeOS she was
IN her e~implicify."
