The governor said he wished to impress
tho reporter with the fact that all these
gangs were not Missourians, and wanted
the public to know the same. lie said that
the Mason gang was from Indiaua, and
was led by Frank Mason, who once taught
school near Terre Haute, where he was we'll
known; and that the Mevers gang was from
Illinois. He thought these men had been
attracted to the state by the successful raids
of the James brothers, ard the fact that,
notwithstanding the amount of travel and
traffic over and through the state, they
wers afforded protection and shelter by its
comparatively unsettled condition.
In answer to the question as to the proba-
BILE whereabouts of Frank James, Governor
Crittenden said that his place OF residence,
if he had any, was unknown, though he
admitted having received telegram some
few days ago to the effect that Frank was
living in one of the upper counties in this
state. He also said that, in his opinion,
Frank James was much better man than
Jesse, and stated that he knew OF several
instances in which he had saved human
life at the risk of his own. Members OF the
gang relate that Frank had many and fre-
quent quarrels with Jesse on account of
his reckless disregard for human life, and
for a long time he would not forgive Jesse
for shooting Express Messenger Westtield
in the Winton train robbery, when it had
been agreed that no murder should be com
mitted unless absolutely necessary for their
safety 1t will be remembered that West

The governor said that the mother and
wife of Frank James had called upon him
in Jefferson City, Missouri, to see whether
Frank would be allowed to surrender and
be free from the charges against him He
answered that, under the constitution OF
the state, he had no power to pardon be-
fore conviction, but advised him to come
in, stand tria,, and run the chances of be-
ing acquitted. He thought Frank James
was disposed to be quiet and law-abiding
citizen, and anticipates no trouble what
ever from him. He would express no opin-
ion as to the feeling toward the Ford boys,
who killed Jesse James, but declared the
majority of the people of the, State we're
with him in every move he made.

Lessons From Nature.

Sweet lessons from the skies,
And flom the earth, we see in stars anC
flowers;
The Violet looks not with jealous eyes
On buds in leafty towers.
Not envious of the Rose,
That burn3 with fragrant fire in bushe:
sweet;
Is the fair Daisy in its calm repose,
In shadows at its feet.
Tall as the masts of ships,
The peaceful trees, within the shady
wood,
Whisper soft syllables, with leafy lips,
A happy brotherhood.
The Ash Heds to the-Oak,
The Elm bows to the plumed and tow
ering Pine,
And scars, made by the lurid lightning
stroke,
Are bandaged by the vine.
The birds that sweetly sing,
From notes of flowers, in natures open
book,
Heed not the STYLE. nor color of the
wing
OF dove or sable rook.
We hear the feathered choir
In the vast orchestra of forests green;
No discOrd in their hearts provOkes the
ire
OF chOristers serene.
Fraternity aid love
Are written clear in characters of light,
And starry syllables of gold, above,
When God ancurtains night.

THE spirit Of speculation is apparent
ly all-pervading and, at all times, appro-
pirate. The body of Frank Small, who
was hanged at Pittsburgh recently, was
taken from the gallows to the house OF
his aunt that the relatives might prepare
it for burial. The old lady, however,
was not the sort of woman to be dis
consolate or shocked by the disgrace
that had come upon her family. She
looked at the matter philosophically
and turned her front room into a muse
um with the body of her executed
nephew as the principal attraction. She
put the price of admission at twenty-five
cents head, and drove thriving busi-
ness for time, netting handsome sum
from the exhibition. The curiosity of
the neighbors was satisfied, and it is to
be assumed that the mercenary aunt
was satisfied, for, by her stroke of cold
hearted shrewdness, she turned to her
financial account the dead body of one
who, in life, had, perhaps, seriously
drained her purse. The incident shows
at least one thing-that Small's relatives
were not of such a character as to en-
courage him to any better life than
that which he has just ended on the
gallows.

pretty little girl, holding upa pretty lit

1T seems as if it must be, my DEAR"
said the Farmer. "But how can we be
sure, without another look at Murdoc?"
"And perhaps he was the seftest, said
one of the maiden ladies, timidly clear
ing her throat.
II don't think he could have been,"
exclaimed somebody in the procession.
"My Felix is the fieeciest cat in Bing"
Farmer Mark rubbed his nose in
perplexity.

the other folks couldn't help it either
Sims Grandmother got up and said
she could venture to state that Murdoc
was the softest cat in the world, for
when you stroked him you could not
feel him any more than if he was air.
Then she sat down.
"But who knows" Farmer Mark went
on, whether Murdoc had the longest
whiskers? Two chicken-pies were to
go the cat with the longest whiskersr'
Everybody was in downright despair.
As for Sim, he crept up to his grand
mothers side and whispered into her
muslin cap. She nodded. Then she
whispered to one of the little maiden
ladies, who, in turn, passed the word on,
until it reached Farmer Mark He slap

Hsreupon the audience was promptly
relieved.
The long rays of the early Winter sun

the pussies were curled up asleep on the
floor and the other half were blinking
with ennui. 1t was time to think of

THE New York Truth publishes a
lengthy article, detailing the methods of
manipulation by which good railroad
stocks are deprecated in their selling
value. The managers of many of the
leading roads are arraigned for their
stock jobbing operations, by which the
small holders are made to suffer, while
the officers of the company largely
profit. One notable exception is made.
"a few railroads" says Truth, "like the
Baltimore aud Ohio, have been ably and
honestly managed, have never resorted
to the watering process; but spent their
surplus in improving and extending
their property, thus adding every year
to its value and usefulness; but these
instances are exceedingly rare" The
compliment to tho Baltimore and Ohio
is well deserved, but is hardly strong
enough. The improvements and exten-
sion of the road have been largely paid
for out of surplus earnings, but il
should be remembered that a very great
surplus remains to the credit of the road
now, after all these expenditures and
the payment of per cent. dividends
upon its stock. There is little wonder
that the price of Baltimore and OHIO
Railroad stock has for SO long time
been steadily held at a premium OF
about one hundred per cent. No other
railroad in the country can exhibit with
justice such a record.-(Balto. Amer
ican.

JESSE JAMES DEAD.
The Notorious Train RObber Shot in
His Own House.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 3.-A great
sensation was created in this city this
morning by the announcement that Jes-
see James, the notorious bandit and
train robber, had been shot and killed
here in st. Joseph. The news spread
with great rapidity, but most people re-
ceived it with doubt till investigation
established the fact beyond question.
Then the excitement became more and
more intense, and crowds of people
rushed to that quarter of the city where
the shooting took place, anxious to view
the body of the dead outlaw, and learn
the particulars.
In small frame shanty in the south
eastern part of the city, on hill not far
from the Worlds Hotel, Jesse James
has lived with his wife siuce some time
in November last. Robert and Charles
Ford, two of his gang, have made their
headquarters at his house. Charles, it
is said, has lived with him in that shan
ty ever since November. Robert ar
rived about ten days ago, and the three
have been making preparations for a
raiding expedition on which to start to-
night. James and the two Fords being
in the front room together, about nine
o'clock this morning, the former took of
his belt and laid his pistols on the bed,
preparing to wash himself, when Robert
Ford sprang up behind him and sent
bullet through his brain. The ball en-
tered the back of his head at the base
of the right lobe of the brain, coming
out over the eye.
The Ford brothers made known what
they had done, and gave themselves up.
They are now under guard at the Court
House. The body of jesse James was
conveyed to an undertaker's, where it
was prepared for burial. and photo
graph was taken. James's wife has tel
egraphed to his mother the news of his
death. A number of men have identi-
fed the body. and there is no question
about its being Jesse James.
The Ford brothers claim that they are
detectives, and that they have been on
James's track for long time. 1t is be-
lieved they were with James in the Blue
Cut robbery, and that they were intlu-
enced in killing him by the hope of get
ting the;big reward which has been Of
fered tor James, dead or alive, by the
Governor and by the express and rail-
way companies.
