ceived just few days before from Will
iamson who was in California. The letter
read:
"DEAR JENNIE:-If you are in family
way get q doctor and have yourself at
tended to. l am busted and cannot help
you"
The girl replies to Reakor that she would
do as he wished. He seat her money and
in day she was in St Louis. He took
her to a respectable boarding place on
Chestnut beyond Twentieth street, and
representing her az his wife, procured ac-
commodations for her. He was to start on
a commercial trip west the same night,
and left her with plenty Of money. His
letters to her were full of love, and
he promised her again and again
to marry her as soon as possible.
Her conduct at the boarding place was be-
vond reproach, and those who knew her
there soon
LEARNED TO LOVE HER.
Her trouble, however, increased, and she
was taken to the City Hospital. There she
gave birth to her child, and then, a few
days after, she died. Reaker. returning from
his trip to 6nd bride, found her encofIned.
Only the opportunities of boarding house
friend, an honest man, whose wife had
taken deep interest in the girl, saved the
body from the dissecting room or potter's
field. The friends at the boarding house
examined her effects, found her correspond
ence, and from the letters and the state
ments of her brother-in-law, who came on
to bury her and young Reaker, who was to
marry her, the story given was compiled.
1t is faithful in every particular.

Young Reaker appeared for the time al
most heart broken. When first told OF the
girls death, en- his return from his trip, lie
broke into violent weeping and told his
story without reserve. He is known as q
worthy young man, is well connected and
has an uncle prominent in state politics.

BOoNvILLE, Mo-, Nov. %, 1883.
A killing that was unfortunate but Who'll
" justi6sble occurred about noon to day,
seven miles south of Boonville 1t seems
that David Jeit,
HALF NEGRO AND HALF INDIAN,
and a very desperate character, had used
threatening language against and was
about TO kill one David Danforth,
4 brother-in-law of Jett's, liv-
ing near Mr.. Ben Windavis. Jett
was regarded as dangerous
neighbor by all who knew him, and Dam
forth concluded it best to have him ar
rested for assault Coming into town this
Squire Sam Acton against Jett. The
warrant was given to Deputy Sheriff Louis
L. Williams, who summoned Mr.. James
Q. Ragland, of this city, to assist him in
making the arrest. They left at once for
Jett's house, with the intention :.of arrest
ing him. Williams had inst started alone,
but it being reported to him by Danforth
that Je;t was
ARMED WITH SHOTGUN
and swore he would kill the sheriff If he
came for him, Williams, as suggested by
Sheriff John F. Rogers, took Mr.. Ragland
with him.
JetI's house is located in the woods about
quarter of a mile from the road. On
arriving at the yard fence. about
three hundred feet from the house,
Williams told Ragland to go to the back
door and he would go to the front. The
officers both started in a run for the house,
Danforth accompanying Williams. When
within about thirty yards of the house Jett
made his appearance al the front door and
was
By WILLIAMS TO SURRENDER,
when he jumped behind the door. Dam
forth remarked that Jett had gone for his
gun. Williams shouted to Ragland that
Jet had gone for his gun and to watch out.
In few seconds Jett emerged from the
back door and made for an axe lying on
the ground. He was ordered by Rsgland
kept on and when he had gotten within two
or three feet Of the axe Ragland fired, the
ball striking Jett in the head,
KILLING HIN INSTANTLY.
The news was brought to BOonville at
once and a cnroner's jury summoned which
left for the scene OF the killing at three
o'clock.
Mr.. Ragland's action under the circum-
stances was wholly justi6able, and the
country is rid OF dangerous character.

''If 60 to the penitentiary III. take her
there too" A handsome and fashiOnably
dressed young couple stood before Police
Justice Walsh in Brooklyn, yesterday, and
the above remark, in bitter tones, was made
by one OF them-Jacine Corman-and he
referred to his shrinking, weeping, fair
faced companion, Nellie Babcock They
were charged with theft, and, pleading
guilty, were renanded to await the action
of the grand jury. Murmuripgs of sym
pathy and astOnishment were heard on all
sides of the court room as the young pair
were taken away, but no one appeared to
offer bail. Two weeks ago Mr.. German
applied at the house of a well-knOwn ply
sician in Henry street, and producing I'M
questionable references, was taken in as
ledger. Several days subsequent to the
instsliment Of Mr.. German in the physi-
suite of rooms, and likewise was accom- mo-
dated. The new arrivals betrayed
NO SIGNS OF BEING ACQUAINTED,
and in their separate me tings with mem.
bers of the household appeared quite proper
and more than ordinarily intelligent and
refined. But as days wore on it became APP
parent that the couple had suddenly become
acquainted and that they frequently went
out together in the evening Then a young
lady in the house missed several pieces of
wearing apparel, and, searching the rooms
of the late corners, the landlady discovered
beneath Miss Bsbcock's pillow, during that
lady's absence, two silk suits, tinsel waist
and gold locket. On the following day
both Mr.. German and Miss Babcock disap.
peared. The police of Brooklyn were no.
titled of the theft, but were unable to obtain
any clews a. to the Whereabouts of the fugi-
tives On Sunday last Capt. Williams of
this city was informed that some one wish
ed to see him at No. lis Clinton place, and
going to that place he found Mr.. German
and Mr.. Henry C. Murdoch in violent
dispute over Miss Bsbcock. Mr.. Cor
man, it seemed, was about to be rejected
by the young lady, and in revenge he had
determined upon confessins the Brooklyn
theft.
DUPLICATING HIS FAIR COMPANION.
Capt. Williams arrested the trio, and ut

turned over to the care of Detectives

Bran For Mich Cows.

1t is we'll known that phosphorus isan
essential ingredient in the formation of
bone, and, indeed, that bones are the
principal source of our supply of phos-
phorus. Wheat bran is rich in phos-
phoric acid. Wheat contains in the
whole grain, SO per cent of phosphoric
acid, and III only 5 l-2 per cent; Tut
nearly the whole of the p~hosphoric acid
of the grain exists in the husks or bran.
Thus, wheat bran contains nearly 90 per
cent. Of this valuable substance. What
percentage is in the bran of corn we have
nc means Of as%certaining, but it is GER
tainly less rich in phosphoric acid than
wheat bran. Rye bran is richer still
than wheat bran, containing over 81 per
! cent. of phosphoric acid, which is a
larger proportion than is contained in
| any other article of food for stock.
Wheat bran is also far richer in lime
than corn, and is therefore a better food
for poultry than the latter. IT wheat
bran is preserved free from damp or
| mold it will not deteriorate in quality
by keeping for any moderate length of
time-a year, for instance. Our dairy
farmers and stock raisers will see by tn is
the value of brans for feeding purposes.

The Corn Crop OF Knsas.

In kansas the prospects of the next
coming s.corn crop are promising. The
deep freezing ofthe severe winter placed
the soil in the best possible condition
for blowing and planting. In some To-
c%alitiest the lack of rain has been retarding
the planting, but in most sections timely
showers have left nothing to be desirci.
Nine-tenths oftheacreage j snow planted
and in the southern portion of the state
the plants are coming up nicely. The
large acreage Of last year has been
added to very nearly IL per cent. max
ing the state area this year about 5,22229,
$50 acres. Twenty-four per cent. of the
crop Of last year, it is estimated, is still
in the hands Of farmers, or 37,430,476
bushels-a larger amount than was evcr
raised in the state in any one year prior
to 1873. Not nearly so large a proportion
of the corn crop is sold I'M former years.
Farmers are stinding use for it at home.
But little of the amount nN on hand
will be disposed Of Oh the market; the
greater portion of it will be fed where it
was raised.
