OUT IN MISSOURI.
Two Fool, Shoot Eeath Other to Death
with ReVOlVer>.

Information comes that desperate trag
edv occurred in he village of Cottonwood,
Missouri, on Friday night. Two intoxi-
Gated strangers got into a dispute and
then had rough and tumble fight. The
dispute was over the weight of bale of
cotton, but they We're separated by the
bystanders. Shortly after, however, the
men renewed their fight and mutually
agreed. in order that neither should have
an advantage over the other, that they
should clasp their left hands together and
fight only with their right hands. Thus
arranged, each man with revolver in his
right hand, they began the bloody work.
Seven shot were exchanged, and one of
the men feel dead with four bullets in his
head and breast, while the other sank dy-
ing from two or three desperate wounds.

How Pale NOu Are I!

is frequently the exclamation of one lady
to another The fact is not pleasant one
to have mention. but still the act may be
a kindly one, for it sets the one addressed
to thinking, apprises her of the fact that
she is not in good health, and leads her to
seek a reason therefor. Palor is almost
always attendant upon the first stages of
consumption. The system is enfeebled,
and the blood is Impoverished. Dr.

act as I; tonic upon the system, will en-
rich the impoverished blood, and restore
roses to the cheek.

Kissed the Wrong Katie.
from Danbury Post. |

A certain lady near here suspected that
her husband was in the habit of kissing
the cook, pretty g.Gl, by the by, and re
solved to detect him in the act. After
watching four days, she heard him come
in one evening and gently pass through
into the kitchen. Now, Katie was out that
evening and the kitchen dark. Burning
with jealousy, the wife took some matches
in her hand, and placing her shawl over
her head as Katie often did, she entered
the kitchen by the back door, and was al
most Immediately seized and embraced
and kissed in the most ardent manner
With her heart almost bursting with rage
and jealously the injured wife prepared to
administer a terrible rebuke to her faith
less spouse. Tearing herself loose from
his embraces, she struck match and
stood tace to face with Katies beau, one
of the neighbor boys. Her husband says
his wife has never treated him so we'll
since the month they were married as she
has for the past week.

TUE. CORN CROP.
An Excess of Nearly 300 900 900 Bushels
Over Last Year.


CHICAGO. H., Sept 2'.-The corn crop
Of the United States having passed the
critical stage, and whatever of danger
menaced the cereal from frost being now
ended, owing to the maturity Of the grain,
the ''Farmers Review" Of this city, has
called in reports from It's 400 correSpon-
dents, giving the area and probable yield
in every county in the ten leading States,
and has compiled from these a close c>t-
mate of the approximate yield Of the crop
of 1885. These estimates have been based
on a comparison with the yield of 1891,
taking the figures of the Agricultural Bu-
reau at Washington for the yield of last
year.
The reports of the correspondents in
clude not only the approximate actual
acreage but also the percentage of condi-
ton as compared with last year and the
percentage increases or decreases in acre
age. This was done to approximate as
closely us possible the actual output, the
correctness OF which method was demon
strated very fully i'll the estimate Of the
wheat crop on June by this Bureau, and
to which figures all the recognized statisti
clans including the Government Bureau,
have gradually approached. In Indiana,
Illinois, and Kansas, the ground plowed
up, owing to the ruination of the winter
wheat crop and devoted to corn, is closely
computed. In the comparison by States
the returns show that Indiana, Iowa, Min
nesota and Missouri have a slight increase
in acreage over 1884, and Wisconsin is the
only State showing a decrease; but both
Minnesota and Wisconsin show decrease
in condition, and Missouri also shows a
Slight decrease. The other States all re-
veal an improvement, and in Ohio, Hi
nois and Indiana the improvement is
marked.
This results in the following comparison
by States Of the probable yield in the States
named:

On. the basis that the States and Terri
tories outside of the ten named will pro-
duce as much corn they did last year,
or 543, 400, 900 bushels, and this would
seem to be assured from a study of the
reports, it will give a total crop of ,979,
63G, 900 bushels, from which total it is safe
to estimate that the yield will not vary in
any appreciable degree either way.

There IS no disposition among the friends Of
civil service reform TO insist at this time on an
extension OF the rules governing the service so
as TO give them a more general application. 1t
IS conceded that the system is still in an ex-
perimental stage, and that il would be unwise
TO excite unnecessary opposition. They only
ask that no backward steps be taken. and that
the law as now interpreted by the regulations
shall be honestly and faithfully enforced 1t
should be clearly understood that the admins
tration violates neither the letter nor spirit of

From the heated quarrels that are already
dividing the tory party in England, the ques-
ton arises does conservatism conserve" The
special bone of contention Is young Churchill,
who Is afflicted with ideas and Wit, two very
dangerous gifts in n conservative leader The
tories could never quite forgive D'Israeli tor
being a genius, but they could never get rid of
him, and he finally compelled them to yield
him their supreme honors. Churchill seems TO
be somewhat the same type of man, and, like
the author of Vivian Grey. is exciting the rage
OF the stolid and stupid county squires almost
10 the point OF apoplexy. He actually has the
effrontery, among other faults. to counsel n Just
and kind policy towards the Irish. and If any
thing maddens the county squires more than
another it is consideration of the cries of Ire
land. So they are calling him all sorts OF hard
names among others a .boy for youth and
freshness are the most crying of all faults to the
true conservative. But as Churchill is about
thirty-five years Old, he is reaching an age
when he feels cOmpiimented by being charged
with the crime of youth.

Scarcely a day passes that q Communication
is not received by THE STAR inquiring or COM
planning about pumps In various parts Of the
city, and asking the good offices OF this journal
toward having them put In good working order.
Sometimes a new stock Is needed; perhaps the
plunger wants repairing; occasionally the spout
or lip leaks. so that the water splashes wildly
about; oftener than anything the expected cup
Is missed by the thirsty wayfarer, who seeks
to cool his parched lips but every time, as
with the carter in the fable, Jupiter Is called on
to render aid.
In The STAR OF last Saturday was printed
about oil tho Information on the pump subject
that could be gained from the officials, and 1t
was fondly hoped that, in view of the facts
therein given, future communications relating
10 it would be addressed to the District Com
missioners, instead of to the newspapers. Only
the former have discretionary powers In the
premises, with the means 10 make such repairs
as are considered most essential, and they
alone can render any aid, officially Inasmuch,
however, as 1t appears that the fund in their
hands for this purpose is inadequate, there
would seem TO be no great improperly in those
living in the neighEorhood OF the several dis
abled pumps and relying them for their
water supply making little collection among
themselves, and having the necessary repairs
made on their own account Doubtless per-
nit to that effect would be cheerfully given by
the District authorities, If applied for. 1t is re-
specially suggested. also. that If the Thirsty
wayfarer' who So often fails to find the expect
ed cup attached To a pump would step to
neighhoring store and buy one, with n few feet
OF light chain, and put them securely in place,
he would be doing vastly better service than
by writing about the matter to the newspapers.
The expenditure of both time and money would
be very slight, and, besides, he would be con-
that he had unostentatiously conferred o really
valable benefit on his fellow man.

Another reason why Congress should ask the
family to have General Grant permanently
buried at the national capital is supplied by the
fact that the municipal authorities of New
York have no power whatever TO donate, sell
or lease any OF the ground in any of the parks
OF that city, or to allow any part of them to be
used foNcemeterial purposes. All the action
taken in the premises by the mayor, council
and park commissioners has been not only
without the authority of law, but in plain vio-
lation of the statutes of New York. Congress
should therefore relieve the case of its unfor-
tunate complications, and carry out the wish
of the of the whole country in the manner sug-
gested above

The shrewd proprietor Of a summer resort
hotel In Connecticut has secured an extensive
advertisement of his place by having It tele-

Grant was born. IL Is amusing TO see telegraph

The widest sort of talk is INDUCED in respect
ing the size of the procession in New York ut
the funeral of General Grant. Some are even esti-
mating that 100000 people will follow the
hearse. This is simply absurd, every one
knows who has had any experience in moving
large bodies OF troops through the streets of a
city. 1t is estimated that under ordinary con-
ditions 5000 men will march past given
point in an hour. It viii be remembered that
there were about %, 900 men in the Cleveland
Inauguration parade, and that column was
rather more than three hours in passing in re-
view. For line ten times that length to pass
even IL moving briskly and in wide platoons,
would take at least two days. a procession of
100000 would be all day marching past and
one of $4,000 would be long enough in passing
to weary the most patient spectator. More
over, the practical difficulties in handling so
large troop cannot be imagined by those who
have not tried. 1t would be very unwise TO
attempt to accommodate more than $4,000
men with places in the procession.

A scientific gentleman of the name OF OlSzews-
XII, has just produced te mperature OF 1899 be-

Col. Hughes East. who is Vice Pres,aen,
Hendricks private secretary, declares that the
charges against Postmaster Jones, of Indian.
apolis, are not sustained by the evidence. and
that Mr. Jones will be indicated by the inves-

be gratifying to most democrats, and not dis
pleasing TO many Others ifit appears that the
examination was conducted in good faith and
Jones acquitted on his merits as an officer.

The New York Times states that half million
dollars as least will be necessary for a suitable
monument at the tomb Of Grant II that be so,
the grave is likely to be left unmarked for some
centuries, as the loving friends OF Grant In New
York show O characteristic prudence in their
contributions. Leaving out the liberal gift of
their stockholders money by theWestern Union
directors, only about $1,000 has been raised
thus far By the committee, although it might
be expected that subscriptions would TOW in

prevail of the burial place has had much TO do
with this indifference.

Ex-Secretary Chandler thinks that Secretary
Whitney's attack on the four republican cruisers
will be fatal 10 his five democratic ships as
these in turn must now encounter criticism and
opposition from political rather than business
standpoints. Apparently it will be as in the
days of Amraphel. king of Shinar, when the
four kings fought against five in the vale o. Lid
din, and, so far can be ascertained in the tan
gle Of long antediluvian names, both sides suf
fered signal defeat. Mr.. Chandler believes that

ment work They Will unquestionably be shy
OF engaging to do the work at less than cost.
