ST Louis, August l6.-At the Cor
oner's inquest on the body of Rush Ii.
Tevis to-day, Mn. Tevis stated that bust
ness troubles had caused the suicide. She
said Tevis came home last night very
drunk and very respondent. He said it
would be better for both to die. He
pointed a pistol at her but she ran out Of
the room, but heard the shot which killed
her husband fired Immediately after she
got out. Mrs. Tevis gave her testimony
in a very self c-ountenaneed International
manner She stated very positively that
jealousy had nothing TO do with the
crime, The other witness examined cor
roborated Mrs. Tevis' statement. The
verdict was suicide. The funeral will oe-
cur tomorrow. 1t is said by persons
likely to know, that the differences be-
tween Tevis and his family over his re
marriage with his wife after a divorce,
were part of the tronble which caused the
rash act

A Poor Cowboy.

Mentor IN Chicago Herald.
Our show never would have broken
up said the manager Of the standard
Wild West combination, IF our cowboy
hadn't been a fraud. We got him in
Ogalalla and thought he was good stuff,
but when we crossed over from Illinois to
Indiana he seemed to lose all his grit.
The boys who came to see US got more
and more familiar with him, and he grew
tanner and tanner. They'd jump on him
occasionally and he'd amble around and
smile in a sickly way, and it got 80 finally
that they didn't respect him at all. At
last told him that he wa playing him
self for Il rank tenderfoot, and that the
show couldn't go on with him acting moro
like a clownothan a wild roarer of the
plains. He promised to do better, and
the next day two big fellers calling them
selves the one-eyed bandits of the Wabash
called upon him. What did he do?
Climb EN-? No, sir. He takes EN- by
the arm and says; 1 came from the
Wabash myself. and there's no reason
why We hard men should moi hang to-
gether. just as coon as he said that
they knew he was a galoot, and so did l,
and they chased him around the ring
about forty times without stopping. l

From the TrinidAd Naws.
The Denver Macs, contains an article
which lsayao that the Cheyenne LEADER
claims THAT certain Denver stockmen are
opposed to Dir. a., NJ. Taylor, who was
appointed one of the agents of the Live
Stock Bureau In view of the fact that
the law provides for the appeintment of
twenty, and but three have as yet been
selected, there need be no opposition to
Mr. Taylor. He is certainly in every way
competent to discharge the duties of the
place. is a practical range stockman who
is acquainted with the live stock interests
in all its branches, and a man who ae-
quired his knowledge by long experience
on the range. He is a gentleman of ma
cure and sound Judgment, is devoted to
the interests Of the stockmen of the
whole country, and in the Judgment of
the Netos no better appointment conld
have been made, an opinion which is
shared by all the stockmen who know
him. Should the opposition develop into
anything worthy of notice, it will result
in showing that the appointment of Mr..
Taylor was'one in every way worthy to be
made.

Helping the New Orleans Expo
SitiOn.

The bill loaning one million dollars
to the Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition at New Or
leans has been passed by Congress
and will doubtless be signed by the
President. The money is to be paid
by the Treasurer of the United
States in certain stipulated sums on
the draft of the president and treas
urer of the Exposition, and on the
assurance Of the subscription Of five
hundred thousand dollars by the
stockholders. As this latter SUBJ
scribed capital is to be increased to
a million dollars, and one hundred
thousand dollars have been sub
scribed by the city of New Orleans,
the enterprise starts with two mill
lion, one hundred thousand dollars
In the case of the Centennial Exhi-
bition at Philadelphia Congress ap.
propriated two millions, the city Of
Philadelphia million and half and
the State Of Pennsylvania one mills
lion dollars-more than double the
sum subscribed for New Orleans.
The New Orleans Exposition has the
advantage of general popularity at
the outset, which the Philadelphia
enterprise lacked; it will also benefit
by all preceding experience, and this
is worth considerable money to it's
management. The Atlanta Cotton
Exposition resulted in widely ex.
tending the trade in Northern ma
chinery and agricultural implements,
and stimulated invention in the di-
rection of the production and hand
ling of cotton. The display at New
Orleans-to which that at Atlanta
will have been as a Constantinople
bazaar to tie great Russian fair at
Mimi Novgorod-should enormous
ly influence commerce, manufac lures
and agriculture throughout the
entire South. 1t is a praiseworthy
undertaking, and Congress has done
well to aid in forwarding it.--Neao
York. Herald.

Major Jonas and Hon. A. B. Hurt
were with the Press at jackson last
week, laboring to impress all with
Mississippi'sinterest in the coming
Worlds Cotton Exposition soon to

county in the State should take
special pains to have every industry
fairly exhibited and when necessary
the Supervisors should make allow
ances for the transportation Of speci
mems. Tis we'll known that we have
coal beds in the Northern and West
ern portion of this county OF consid
cradle extent. Phis coal should be
exhibited. We also have in the
Western part Of the county vast
field of mineral ore AZ Ter cent. of
which, upon analysis, is found to be
silver. This should be displayed.
Our common tobacco leaf, sorghum,
Irish and sweet potatoes, wool, wheat,
in short everything we grow should
be shown in the coming Exposition
where the whole world may behold
and become convinced Of our capa-
bilities. WaithdU Warden.

Pontotoc Observer ..
We learn from young man just
up from Houston, Miss, that a des-
perate shooting ARRAY took place in
the Mayors Office in the quiet little
town of Houston last Tuesday morn
ing.
1t appears that Mr.. A. J. Jamison
had whipped a colored girl, who was
in his employ, for some offence, and
was being tried for assault and battery
before the Mayor. Attorney Ed
Mosely was prosecuting, and in the
course Of his remarks made some
offensive allusion to Mr.. Jamison,
when that gentleman began to fire
upon him. Mr.. Mosely promptly re-
turned the fire, each receiving a
wound in the hand. The two sons
of Mr.. Jamison, Robert and John,
being present, and seeing the blood
flowing from their father, also opened
upon Mr.. Mosely. The firing then
became rapid and furious until thir-
teen shots were fired, which resulted
in Mr. Moseley receiving four wounds
in the hand, breast and bowels, and
Mr.. A. J. Jamison one in the hand.
Mr.. Mosely, our informant says, is in
a critical condition. The Jamisons
gave bond for $4,000 to appear be-
fore the Circuit Court.

acting an immense business with the

We will not state the exact amount,
