ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 3.-A great
sensation was created in this city
this morning by the announcement
that Jessie James, the notorious ban
dit and tram robber, had been shot
and killed here. In a frame shanty
in the southeast part of the city, on
the hill, not far from the Worlds
Hotel, Jessie James has lived with
his wife since some time in Novem-
Der last. Two members of his gang,
Robert and Charles Ford, and James
were in the front room together about
9 O'clock this morning. James took
off his belt and laid his pistol on the
bed, preparing to wash himself, when
Robert Ford sprang up behind him
and sent bullet through his brain.
The ball entered the back of his head
at the base of the right brain, com
ing out over of the eye. The Ford
brothers at once made known what
they had done, and gave themselves
up. They are now under guard at the
court house. James, wife telegraph
ed to his mother the news Of his
death. Anumber of men have iden-
titled the oody, and there is no ques-
ton about it's being that Of Jessie
James. A look at the body at the
undertaker's showed that he was a
fine looking man apparently forty
five years old, with broad forehead,
and his physiognomy was that of an
intelligent, as well as resOlute and
daring man. The house where James
lived and in which he was killed has
the appearance of an armory. A.
number OF guns and pistols, includ-
ing repeating rifle, a needle gun
and navy revolvers, with good store
of ammunition, were found there. Jes-
sic was in the habit Of wearing two
belts, a brace Of very fine revolvers
and twenty-five extra cartridges. In
small stable, near the house, were
discovered several fine horses, the
property of James.
The Ford brothers claim that they
are detectives, and that they have
been on James tracks for long
time. 1t is believed they were with
James in the Blue Cut train robbery,
and that they were influenced in kill
ing him by the hope of getting the
big reward, which has been offered
for James, dead or alive, by the Gov
ernor and the express and railroad
companies.
1t is learned that Ford, who is be-
lieved to be member OF the gang,
was under the control of Police Com
missioner Craig, of Kansas City, and
has been used as an instrument for
James destruction. Ford is young
man about % years old, and looked
like a verdant youth from the eoun-
try. In appearance he is mere
boy, and is the last person in the
world to be taken as the slayer of
the famous outlaw.

The Steamer Golden City when APP
preaching the wharf this morning,
at 4:30 O'Clock, was discovered to be
on fire.
The boats bow was at once head
ed for the shore, and in four minutes
afterwards she touched the wharf at
the foot of Beale Street, where the

being swift it soon parted, and the
burning steamer floated on down
the river a mass of flames, with
many of her passengers and crew on
board who were unable to reach
shore and were lost. The Golden
City left New Orleans last Saturday
ell route to Connecticut. She car
ried a crew of about 60. She had
on board 40 cabin passengers, Is Of

An unlocked for tragedy was
enacted in Philadelphia Monday in
the midst of the work of transfer
ing the animals of Forpaugh's show
preparatory to Southern tour. In
the same den were kept two lions and
two tigers, separated by a strong
wooden partition. To such pitch
of ferocity was one of the tigers stir
red by the arrangements for remov-
al that he threw himself in very
frenzy of rage against the partition
pounced upon one of the lions, and
before the keepers could lift an arm
fixed his fangs deep in the throat of
his victim. A torrent of blood gush-
ed forth and the king of beasts des-
perately attempted to throw off his
assailant, but it was no use; the
tigers grip was death, and almost on
the instant the PROSTATE lion, with a
spasmodic effort of head and limbs,
fell back cold and stiff. BY this
time a dozen hands were raining
blows upon the head of the ferocious
brute and blood-dyed jaws, and
stunned by the sudden attack he was
secured with ropes and dragged into
a close cage.

The President will probably recall
Minister Lowell from the Court of
st. James at an early day, and most
likely tender the mission to Gov.
Cornell of New York. Little en-
deavor has been made to maintai-.
the right of American citizens on
British soil, and our minister has
turned deaf ear to their entreaties.
What we need to maintain the dig
nifty and standing Of our country
abroad is not men of entire literary
ability but statesmen who care more
for the interest of their country than
the praise and flattery of a foreign
court. The American aptly says:
IF it be true that there are Amer
lean citizens now held in prison in
Ireland, denied a trial and denied
even the least information as to
what charges are laid against them
then the President Of the United
States has plain duty befor him,
which he should perform in the
shortest way possible. The laws of
this republic say in such case that,
8" 1t shall be the duty of the Presi-
dent forthwith to demand the reasons
of such Imprisonment" Too much
time has already been wasted in dip
lomatic cou1tesies between my
Dear Lowell'' and any Dear Lord"
There is an Atlantic cable, and
within one hour the President of the
United States may make this de-
mand heard at the Foreign Office,
in London. 1t should be a demand
and not a mealymouthed request.
The American people demand to
know upon what charge one of their
number now lies under arrest and
denied habeas corpus. If the charge
is real one, then we demand that
a fair trial be gran ted to the pris-
oner with as little delay as possible,
and that he be furnished with a
statement of the crimes whereof he
is charged, and given an oppOrtuni
ty to prepare his defence.

Farmers everywhere now acknowledge
the superiority of wire over boards for
fencing, yet the wire has its objections,
and is a "thorn" in the side OF the stock
man, who has lost a herd of calves or
horses from lightning. Stock learned
better, after several scratches, than to
run into a wire fence then, too, a great
many improvements in wire have been
made. The thunder bolt has, however,
taken the place of the old complaint, and
is doing ruinous work. An agricultural
paper says: "The loss of stock by light
ming when in close proximity to barbed
wire fences is almost too common and
serious q matter to be overlooked. The
wires become charged with the fluid, and
having no better conductor to the earth
than the dry spots supporting the wires,
will seize upon anything which offers it
self as a conductor and the animal is
killed The question which presents it
self is this: Is there no remedy? We
answer, yes. From every wire in the
fence, a wire should be attached, running
to into the earth two or three feet, which
will serve to carry the electricity to the
earth. These ground wires should be
placed at least every half mile of the
fence, and the danger is removed. Do
this and your stock will be SAFE"

DEATHS.

CREAGER-It is with sorrow that we
record the death of Sarah Ann, wife OF
John h. Creager, and daughter of Will
liam and Lucinda Risinger. The de-
ceased was born in Washington town
ship Oh this county, on the 9TH day OF
March, 1874, and was unitedin the bonds
OF matrimony with John r. Creager on
the 14th day of August, 1868, which union
was blessed with three children-one
son and two daughters.
At an early age she united with the
EV. Lutheran Church, in which she re-
NAMED a consistent and faithful member
until death. Her health had for some
time beer rather delicate, frequently suf-
ferlng through sick headache. Her last
n fatal suffering was heart disease
with this b had to contend under med
ical treatment for about two weeks-the
last OF which she was confined to her
ROOM.
Evidently husband and friends did all
in their power to save; but when God
has otherwise determined, all human
help is vain. She passed quietly away
even as n falleth asleep-on the eve
ming OF July 22d, at about 10 O'clock
Her funeral was very largely attended
on the morning of the 25th.
She had many friends, and was pos
sessed OF much kind heartedness toward
all without respect of person. But we
Will let others speak her praise. Peace
be with her.
She was aged 80 years, 4 months and
II days.
P1ERCE-On the 9th ult., at the res
idence OF +. A. Pierce, near Camden, of

A Great Social Event.

On Saturday July 29th, Samuel Mitch
ell, of Jefferson township reached the
51st mile post on life's journey. His es-
Unable wife and children through
promptings of love, planned a surprise
and sent out several hundred invitations
to relatives and friends, who responded
almost without al exception. From far
and near they came, and with their well
filled baskets enough and to spare, not
w~ithstanding the fact that 315, by actual
count, were fed. The spacious grounds
surrounding Mr.. Mitchell's beautiful res
idence presented the appearance OF a
camp meeting; the vehicles numbering
between eighty and ninety, when the
crowd had assembled. Mr.. w. j. Means,
of New Paris, was chosen master OF GER
emonies and effected the following or
ganization and programmes: Invocation,
by Eliza Werts; after which the Eldora-
do Cornet Band favored the company
with some soul-stirring music. The next
thing on the programme was a number
of handsome presents made by members
of Mr.. Mitchell's family and friends
Mr.. Jno. Aiken, of New Paris made a
short presentation speech and welcomed
the friends On behalf of Mr.. Mitchell and
family.
Next IN order (aS MIR. Means remark
ed), was to "fll up" with the good things
before them. The older persons present
were first fed, together with the mem
bers of the Band-90 persons were seat
ed at a time. Mr.. o. D. Shank, of New
Paris, acted as usher and head-waiter,
by Messrs. j. d. Brown, w. H.
Brinley, F. A. Mitchell, and an army of
ladies. Everything passed off without
the slightest confusion or accident. Mr..
Mitchell has cause to feel proud of the
hearty greeting by his friends and rela-
tives. The Eldorado Cornet Band was
complimented by the presentation of
and surely no one who hears
them play can fail to appreciate the quail
ity of their music, and a finer looking or
more ~gentlemanly set of men would be
hard to find.
After all were fed there was still plen-
ty of good things left, and the printers
and county officers were not forgotten.
The day was one of the most delightful
just clouds enough to temper the hot
of the sun, and yet sunshine enough
to give cheer. All went away feeling
glad to have been one of SO enjoyable a
party, and wishing Mr.. Mitchell long life
and continued happiness and prosperi-
ty. ]. A.

REASONS.

Why The Ohio Farmers Insurance
Company is preferred by the farmers
LIST. Because it is safe, and they dc
not fear 1t may fail and their insurance
become worthless.
I'd. Because its rates are SO low they
know that they are getting their mon
ey's worth.
Sd. Because they prefer to pay 8
reasonable sum and know they have
bought and paid for their insurance.
rather than sign a contract to pay un.
limited assessments.
4th. Because it never refused to pay
an honest loss.
9Th. Because its policy is plain:
straightforward and simr lie, and is sc
worded that it yields a benefit to the
farmer after a fire rather than a prof.
to stockholders. July 20-2t.
