The largest and handsomest pair of
twOyear-Old Devon steers we ever
saw were those lately owned by ID. K.
Wakefield of Danville. They balance
the scales at 2685 lbs. We doubt if
there is better matched pair of Dew

were raised by Peter Wesson. Mr..
Wakefield has sold them to John B.

What 1t Does:

1t protects against adversely in business.
1t is a protection for life insurance policies.
1t is an Investment and protection combined.
1t is better than u s. Governments, and equally
secure.
1t protects dependent ones against the cOntin-
geney of death.
1t is a safe. sure and desirable investment and
within the reach of all.
1t guarantees that a certain amount of money
with interest, will be accumulated in a specified
time.
The amount that life insurance would cost should
be credited profit the Bond as it takes the
place of such insurance.
The instaments paid are like deposits made in
Savings Bank, and are returned to the Bond holder
at his option.
The Bond natures at specified time, at pre-
viOus death for its face value and guarantees a
definite sum in cash any year after the first.
The instruments paid on the Bond can be used in
business by hypOthecating it, This is great ad-
vantage to those who may at any time need all the
money they can command raise.
The 100000 policies, representing over two bill
lions of dollars of lapsed surrendered insurance
between 1870 and 1880 would have been saved by
these Bonds.
The Bond is not hampered by any conditions or
restrictions and its cash value cannot be impaired
or leOpardzed.
The Bond affords the very best security, and is
negotiable the same as any other bond or stock.
Under this Bond you PAY you go. Stop
without loss. Stop with profit, or continue for
greater profit"

They found Tamai occupied by a large
force OF the enemy. A general advance
Of the British forces will begin tomorrow
morning at daybreak. The troops will
stop at the zereba tomorrow night and
will march on Tamai Friday morning.
The detachment Of cavalry sent out by
General Graham to ascertain whether
there was any truth in the reported eyac.
uation OF Tamai by osman Digna and his
followers, has returned 10 General Nc
Neill's 2ereba. The commander OF the
detachment states that It is evident, from
bis observations, that 0sman Is plryinga
deep game, and has circulated the reports
OF his withdrawal with a view TO throwing
the English off their guard. He states
that he made thorough reconnaissance
OF the place and its surroundings,l AT
times he narrowly escaped falling into
the hands Of the rebels, so close did be get
to the city. At first sight the place ap-
peared deserted, but closer inspection
brought to view hofdes Of Arabs encamped
back OF the adjoining bills. The officer
further stated that signs were not lacking
to Justify the belief that 0sman intendsto
make determined stand, and that des-
perate fighting may be expected before
he Is driven from that stronghold. d.
Work on tho railroad in course OF con-
sruction from suakim TO Berbef has been
stopped, the close proximity Of the rebels
making further work hazardous.

Quarrel Over n White Woman.
DAYTON, o., April LA duel in the
dark in a stable was fought here between
2 and 8 o'clock this morning, between
William Turner and Charles Doniphan,
colored. The police, who were near the
place at the time, broke into the stable
and found the two men, with their empty
and still smoking revolvers In their hands,
facing each other with murder and ]eal-
ousy depicted on their faces. Near them,
on q cot, sat q white woman, speechless
with fright. Her name is Bertha Span
hauer. She, It appears, was the cause
of the trouble. Turner considered
her his clover, and has claimed
that she is his. wife. OF late she
had been looking for q handsomer
son OF Ham, and seems to have found him
in the person OF Doniphan. Turner re-
menstrated with her, and not finding her
at home last stnight he started out in search
OF her. ebroke into the stable where
Doniphan sleeps, which adjoins an aristo-
cratic residence occupied by Robert w.
Steele, for whom Doniphan was hostler.
As soon as he got in the stable he whip
ped out q revolver, and Doniphan, hearing
the click as he cooked it, did the zane.
The two men were over eight feet apart,
and without % word they commenced
firing at each other, and never let up until
every chamber OF both reyolyers was
emptied. The police entered Immediately
afterwards and arrested the trio. Turner
was hit in the left breast and hia pistol
hand, while Doniphan escaped un-
scratched, though three balls from Tur-
ner's revolver went through his clothes.

ored citizens. It now, transpires that Stan.
ley had a girl who worked for the Hoyt'i
and was anxious to get her out Of the
house on the night Of the fatal shooting.
1t appears that the girl had been out ol
and he did not know whether or not she
had returned, aud he took the hazardous
means oflooking into the window to learn
whether she was in the honse. The ex,
element among the colored people In

who has received q serious shock BY her

met In secret to discuss the matter. Dur.
ing the meeting the feeling against Hoyt
became very strong and swhenone of the
men rose to his feet and cried: ''Let us
lynch him." they allcheered the seRti-
ment. "A few influential colored men,
however, prevailed upon the crowd TO OBJ
