The Murder of Henry Taylor.

The following statement is sent to
us by j. M. Taylor, of Elgin, with the
request that THE STATESMAN pub
lish it, which we gladly do. He says:
81 have noticed in several papers a
small account of the Murder of III.
E. Taylor by Walter Miles, both of
this place, in which notices the name
wills" appears. This is not correct.
The aSsaSSin'S name was Walter
Wiles. If my statement will be no.
ticed by your paper, L will give you Il
true and correct statement of the
thing, which many citizens and sub
sribers to your paper wish you to do
at once, and they are confident that
you would publish true and correct
statement. which was, as can be
proven by many good citizens, sub
stantially as follows: Evening before
last 81. E. Taylor was over to see a
neighbor, Mr.. Hanson, and on his
return home which was about dusk,
he overlook Walter Miles, who had
been up the lane a piece and was rid
ing slow. He was passed by Harry
E. Taylor near Walter Miles house,
and just as he passed Walter Miles
said: You Cd id son of b.
you shall not pass me again. and jerk
ing out his six shooter fired, but
missed. Then Harry Taylor, seeing
that he was going TO kill him, threw
himself down on his horse and begged
for Gods sake not to kill him. But
the second shot from the pistol struck
him IN the center of the back and
came out in front. Harry Taylor was
not aware that his life was in danger,
and was not armed at all, having only
a small pocket knife, and that was
broken. 1t was announced by every
body who saw the deed, a cold-blooded
murder-a murder in the first degree.
Shooting him in the back, and he
begging for mercy. He (Miles) made
threats that he was going to kill some
one. When the shooting was over
little Jimmie Brooks went oyer to
see what was the matter, and as he
rode up to or by Walter Miles house
he (Walter Miles, was backed up
against the fence or gate with Win
chester in hand, which he drew down
on Jimmie Brooks and cursed him,
and told him that he was going to kill
him, and would have done so then,
only Jimmie begged for mercy, and
an old negro begged for him, which
saved his life. Neither Brooks nor
Taylor knew that Miles had anything
against them. The murderer is now
at large, and on his way on or near
the trail with horses, and no efficient
steps have been taken to arrest him.
The next morning after the shooting
Miles rode over the town looking for
some one else he wanted to kill before
he left.
The funeral OF Harry E. Taylor
occurred here to-day (the 9Th inst.) at
the cemetery at o'clock p. M, and
was attended by a large numDr of
friends and citizens, who deeply SYM
pathize with his old father and mother
and his sisters, who mourn his loss.
The above statement is true and
correct one, and hope will find place
in your columns. Respectfully,
j. M. TAYLOR.

 The Winsted Advocate, a paper de- voted to the cause of temperance and woman suffrage, has been published every month for the past three years by Mrs M. A. Parsons, its sole editor and proprietor In the December number Mrs Parsons makes her farewell bow to the espublic. Probably the Advocate has not been financial success, but 1t has exherted good influence which will not be forgotten. Mrs Parsons needed rest from her combined household cares and literary work and will spend the winter in Florida and New Orleans. We hope she will return in the spring and resume the publication of the Ad- vocate, which deserves liberal SUD- port.

Two years ago the Northern Pacific railroad reached Spokane, which has grown from a population of $50 in 1880 to nearly 4OOO at present. Wheat sells there at | 40 cents bushel, best patent flour S3 by the single barrel, or $2 50 in ten barrel lots, and all kinds of farm pro- duce, except corn and pork, are drug in the market. One fouring mill there makes 600 barrels of flour daily, but freight rates are high on the Northern Pacific, and the passenger tariff is 2 cents per mile.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

|
 THE NEWS is conducted on the plan
 of giving each subscriber value received
 for their money. We endeavour to make
 tue NEWS GSeif worth the subscription
 price. instead of neglecting the paper and then giving the subscribers some little premium to keep them good na- tured.
 We are aware that many papers offer clubbing rates with other papers and magazines. On the surface this appears to be an inducement, and a subscriber naturally thinks it is clear gain to him. In majority of cases instead of being an advantage it is really disadvantage, for ! it should be understood that it requires much tune in every newspaper office to keep the accounts correctly, where even limited number avail themselves of clubbing rates, and most editors of | country papers have to keep their own books, and it will be readily seen that if a considerable portion of the editors time is occupied in keeping accounts he ! cannot devote as much time to the paper or keep it up to the standard, he other wise would.
 We want to place our subscribers on an equal footing with the subscribers to other county papers, and we now think we can. The problem with us has been how to give our subscribers the benefit of clubbing rates without keeping &C., counts with so many different publish CTS, ,and thus consuming time that should be devoted to the paper. We have solv- ed the problem and here is the explain ation. It is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one subscription agen- cy than to keep an account of one item with 5000 different publishers. Egles- tons subscription agency at Falls Vil- lage, formerly Deans club agencyl can furnish 5000 different periodicals at clnb rates to single subscribers, subscriptions to commence at any time. Those sub scribers 10 the NEWS. who wish to obtain at reduction, almost any paper, maga- zine or book published, will find it to their advantage to subscribe for papers or magazines through Egleston's sub seription agency, or purchase books from said agency, and they can also club the NEWS with 5000 different periodicals by addressing said agency, who will furnish price-list on application.
