KANSAS Cry, Mo-, April 3.-The
news of the killing of Jesse James created
an immense sensation in this city, al
though the report was generally treated
with incredulity, and even at this late
hour many unbelievers can be found. This
afternoon, as soon as the news was re-
ceived here, Police Commissioner Craig
left for St. Joseph, with heavily armed
posse of men to guard the body Of Jesse
James, and to protect the man who killed
him. At the police station it was learned
that Bob Ford, a young man who has
been hanging about the station for the
past two weeks, was the person who shot
and killed James. Ford left this city
about a week ago, and joined James in
the vicinity of st. Joseph, remaining with
him until an opportunity to kill him was
found. From the police it is learned
that Ford, who is said to be a member of
the gang, was under the control Of Craig,
and was being used as an instrument for
James destruction. Ford is young
man about twenty 1.-TWO years of old, and
looked like a verdant youth from the
country. In appearance he is a mere
boy and is the last person in the world
to be taken as the slayer of the outlaw.

announcing that the President had vetoed
the Chinese bill. Of course this caused

be candidate for the Office which he nov
fills, the people of this coast will en-
tleavor to put veto on him.

The Southern sentiment is set forth
as folaws by the Vicksburg Herald:
There is large white majority in Geor-
gia, as there is in Tennessee and Virginia,
and liberalism, conservatism and indie
pendence are rapidly coming to the front.
The best citizens of the State see the
need of a healthy, respectable opposition
party, and, when the election rolls around
we predict general and healthy stirring
of the political pool. The mass of the
people do not care a snap for the clap
trap about 'our enemies in the North,
and States rights, and prefer the CO
operation of the national government
and the aid Of the capital Of "our enc

The demands made upon the officers OF
the immigration Association by inquiring
immigrants, says the San Francisco Call,
suggests that the belief still exists abroad
that California is indeed land of luxuri-
Gus homes for the asking; Of unoccupied
gold mines and of waving fields awaiting
for the random harvester, and various
other advantages. Some confidentially
ask to be directed to some rich diggings;
others prefer permanent quartz lode,
while many would be satisfied with a
valley farm not too far away from the
railroad, but just far enough. Some are
even specific, and actually ask to be in
formed of the proper way to legally set
tie on farm near San Jose and Santa
Rosa, Not infrequently indignation is
displayed that there are no orange groves
near Los Angles opened for presumption.
All applicants are told that there are no
desirable Government lands in any of
the older settled counties, and that set
tiers wanting free land must be willing
to go to distant or outlaying counties, as
they would in Western States.

RAILWAY RACKET.

The l.. Il N. pay train, with its
bright red engine, made its monthly
visit here this week.
A passenger train on the c.. St. l..
Il n. o. road recently made the run
from Cairo to New Orleans in nine.
teen hours and twenty minutes-the
quickest run yet.
The c., St. L. u N. o. road is
hauling stone from Cairo to ballast
the road bed, and many Of the worst
places along the line have been al.
ready put in frst-class condition. 1t
is the intention of the company to bal
last the whole line, when the road
will be the best in the south.
On last Thnrsday-the hottest
day we have had-Assistant Su-
perintendent Horace Clarke, of the
c., st. l.. Il N. o. road. INDUCED in
a delightful C) chill and wasn't even
satisfied then, while everybody else
was sweltering with the heat. Some
people are very hard to please any,
how.
We had the pleasure of riding from
Jackson to Milan on the fast fruit
train last Thursday evening, and found
it to be the fastest and pleasap test
freight train on the road. Our ship
pers should take advantage of this op-
portunity of throwing their produce
on the market nearly as quick as by
express, and in as good condition.
Ed. Cody, a cofored brakeman on
freight train, fell between the cars
at Greenfield last Thursday, when one
car ran over one of his legs, near the
hip, necessitating amputation. He is
the last of crew of three colored
brakemen whom the road has lost
this week. The other two were killed
in fight in Jackson the other day by
another negro. The crew was said
to be one of the best on the road.

Uniform School Books.

At meeting of the School Direc-
tors of this county, held in Trenton
on Tuesday, the Goth inst, the fol-
lowing books were adopted for uni
form use in the county for five years:
McGufey's Revised Primer.
McGuffey's Revised Speller.
McGutfey's Revised First Reader.
McGuffey's Revised Second Reader.
McGufey's Revised Third Reader.
McGufey's Revised Fourth Reader.
McGuffey's Revised Fifth Reader.
McGutfey's Revised Sixth Reader.l
Rays New Elementary and Practi-
cal Arithmetic.
Harvey's Revised Elementary and
English Grammar.
Eclectic Biographies, l, 2 and 3.
Eclectic Copy books.
Barnes U. S. History.
A guaranteed proposition was en-.
tered into by the publishers and di,
rectors that these books should be
furnished at certain exchange and
retail price, and that they are to be
placed on sale in different parts of the
county, when they can be sold at re.
duced rates. With the exception of
the Historj, these books are published
by Van Antwerp, Bragg Il Co., of
Cincinnati. We are pleased with the
action of the directors, and believe
they have made the most ludicious
selection. This series of school books
is very popular all over the county,
and justly so, we think. Had the
choice been left to us, we should have
adopted this list almost entire.
