Ies,e James Killed.

The notorious Jesse james. the terror Of this
Western country. was shot dead, in st. Joseph.
ON last Monday evening, by young man named
Robert Ford IL sreIns that James had been lIV-
ing in St Joseph. under the name Of Howard,
since last November. and that Charles Ford n
Iruther of Robert, with him from that time.
Robert came later. The Forls went in with
James ss allies. but they say they went for the
express purpose Of killing him, when they got
safe opportunity, for the reward that was oh'-r-
ed aud that they never assisted him in robbIng
According To their stcry, they made a trip, n
short time ago, visiting Troy, Hiawatha, sabe-
tha, Pawnee City, White Cloud, Forest City,
and Oregon, prospecting for bank that was in
good fix for robbins. James decided that the
bank at Forest City offered sufficient induce
meuts: but Ford declined to undertake it, on
the pretencc that he was sick. They had plan
ned to rob the bank at Platte City, on Tuesday,
and were to have started Monday night. muir
der trial was in progress at that place. and would
have reached stage, on that day, that the whole
town would have been interested, and would be
attending the trial, when the robbery could have
been effected.
On Monday morning, James complained OF the
heat, and pulled of his coat. He also took On
his belt containing his revolver, and threw it on
the bed-the only time he had been known TO
part with his arms He then mounted a chsir.
and proceeded to brush the dust from pictures
on the wall. This was the opportunity. The
Fords gave each other the wink, and stepped
behind James, Robert drawing his pistol first,
and shooting James through the head, killing
him almost instantly. The ball passed clear
through his head. James had wife and two
children living with him. Persons were sum
moned from Clay County and Kansas City, who
fully identified the dead man. There seems to
b. no doubt that Jesse James is killed, this time
sure-unIess we should hear of 4 daring robbery I
committed by him, in the next few days.

II The Republicans were badly defeated in
all the city elections in Ohio, on Monday. Cities
heretofore strongly Republican, have gone Dem
ocratic This result was produced by the passage
of an extreme temperance law by the Republican
Legislature, a few days before. This is going to
be the fate of the Republican party, whenever
crazy women and fanatical preachers are allowed
TO substitute their moral views for the legitimate
issues of the party. If continued, thi. will be
the result in Kansas, in spite Of her big majority.
T. 1t is remarkable what refined and intelli-
gent people are frequently found among the
worst outlaws. Now, there is the woman who
calls herself the wife Of Dick Liddle. She is

there is weeping and wailing, and moths do not

comes necessary and proper for me to say that

YES, THEY AcoUIEscE.-We are assured every
day that prohibition is fixed fact in Kansas !;
that the people acqnesce in it, and that the law
will never be repealed. At the same time, forced
boom for st. John for a third term is going on al
Topeka. The results of Mondays elections look
as if the people acquiesced, and as if they would
like another physic of St. John.
Square prohibition issues were made at TOpe-
ka, Lawrence, Junction City, Abilene, Hutch
inson, Valley Falls, Manhattan, Newton, High
land, and Severance, and in all these towns the
prohibition tickets were badly defeated. In FL
dorado, the prohibition ticket was elected. In
Hutchinson, the issue was squarely against st.
John, and he was showed under.
1t is only question of time when the prohib-
itory law will be wiped out. The fight should
be kept up vigorously. This Is the way it is ac-
ouiesced in.

II Iowa. like Kansas, is going TO prohibit. by IN
amendment to the fundamental law, tue manufac-
tnre sale Of Intoxicating lsquOrs, including ale,
wine and beer. The amendment has not vet been
voted upon in Iowa. but the indications point to its
adoption by overwhelming vote. As enrolled in
the Office of the Secretary of State. the proposed
amendment reads: No person shall manufacture
for sale sell or keep for sale beverage any in
toxicating liquors including ale. wine. and beer
And there is considerable discussion, which doesn't
appear To be important. to what the punctuation
is The intent is clear enough, let the commas fall
where they will When Iowa has adopted this
amendment and entered upon the execution of the
penal laws which will be passed to give effect she
will find Maine and Kansas have found that such
enactments do not do away with mems appettes
with means for their qualification Iowa will find:

WThe natural revolt at such treachery as was
displayed in the killing of Jesse James, is neu-
tralized by the fact that the dead outlaw never
had any mercy. He never gave man chance,
nor hesitated to kill. He shot unarmed men in
the back, and would shoot promiscuousy in a
crowd of women and children, let it kill whom it
might, in order to create terror, and prevent re-
sistance. He was with the Quantrel gang at the
Lawrence massacre, where unarmed men were
shot down by the score. Sympathy for Jesse
James ought to be confined to the bushwhacking
reriou of Missouri
