Desperate Fight With A Burglar.
AN EXCITING SCENE IN A STORE

HELENA, Ark, May 29.-Last night
about twelve o'clock, Mr.. jones, the
clerk who sleeps in the back of Fer
guson's store, Just opposite Helena,
in Mississippi, was awakened by some
one entering the front. He thought
at first that the person coming was
Mr.. Ferguson, and called him. Upon
receiving no response he picked up
a gun and went to a door leading out
into the store. Just as he opened it a
powerful blow WAS dealt him on the
head knocking him down. He arose
to grapple with his assailsnt. In their
struggle the gun wss discharged, do
ing, however, no damage. Mr.. Jones
commenced TO yell at the top of his
voice, and Ferguson, who was in his
residence, a short distance away hear
ing the discharge of the gun and the
appeal for help, hastily picked up a
rifle and ran to the store where he
found Jones and the burglar, still
fercely fighting. As soon as Jones
saw Ferguson, he yelled ''shoot him.
He is killing me, and broke loose
from his adversary so as to be out of
Ferguson's range. When the man
saw Ferguson he grappled with him,
not, however, until after he had re-
ceived shot in the feshy part of his
left arm. A fierce struggle then be-
gan between the man and Ferguson.
The ruffian was the more powerful,
but, owing to The loss of blood, he
soon called out to Ferguson to stop
saying that he was badly wounded
and would surrender. Ferguson,
being thus thrown off his guard, re-
leased him. The fellow then attemp-
ted to secure the rife, but Ferguson
attacked him before he could use it
and succeeded in wrenching the gun
away. The man then turned to run.
when Ferguson shot him again, the
ball taking effect in his body, and he
dropped dead The would be robber
and murderer landed near the store
yesterday evening in a skiff and is
known to no one. He appeared to be
about fifty years old and was dressed
like fisherman. Nothing leading to
theidentity Of the man could be found.

The great Dunkard encampment
on the M. r. Beashor farm, is an
event of the past. The unthinkIng
and idle spectator cannot to-day re-
alize the Importance of an event that
would assemble thousands of people
from all parts of the continent to
pitch their tent for week and hold
religious devotional service and bus
iness meetings, and then quietly ad-
iourn and fold their tent, never per
haps again to meet in that place.
They are the peculiar people of the
Republic. They are strong in wealth
with vigorous everyday industrious
habits. Their brotherhood bond is
strong enough to resist the destruc-
tive and e1travagant habits of the
times. The men are manly and cap
able. The women are capable help,
meet mates for husbands, brothers,
and fathers. Doubtless there is a
bright destiny in store for the Dunk
ards.

Tormenting Indians.

When the frosts of winter come,
the Indian will beg the government
to provision him, what be is at these
beautiful summer days, is related by
despatch as follows:
SILVER CRY, May 30.--The bodies
of Colonel Philips and his family,
who were murdered by apaches, have
been brought in, all of them in hor
riply mutilated condition. A daugh-
ter had been hung alive by a meat
hook stuck in the back of her hand
and Mrs. Philips had her eyes goug
ed out and her breasts cut off and
was otherwise brutally mangled. The
citizens of this place are frantic that
such outrages should be perpetrated
without check.

General Grants Case.

In its issue of May the Medical
Advocate, a journal published in the
interests of the eclectic physicians,
who are opposed to the regular
school of practitioners, the case OF
General Grant is reviewed. The
comments are rather severe. The
Advocate charges the attending ply
sicians with inexcusable ignorance,
and infers that General Grant suffer
ed more from the anodynes admins
tered than from the cancer, the exis-
tence of which it doubts. 1t says :
Any one familiar with the history of
epithelioma cannot but feel ashamed
of the manner in which the attend
ing physicians of this case have con-
tinued to issue their daily bulletins
and the absurd statements contained
therein. If General Grant is suffer
ing from epithelioms it is certain that
the low condition in which he was so
long reported to be was not due to
to that disease Had it progressed
to stage that would produce such
extreme prostration he could not
have rallied in the manner in which
he has. Anodynes were administer
ed continuously till the system be-
came so impregnated with the salts
of opium that all the natural func-
tions of the body were perverted,
and what nourishment was taken in
to the stomach could not by any
possibility be assimilated. This lack
of assimilation was naturally follow
ed by loss of flesh and great pros
tration. Whenever the patient was
so low that they thought the end was
near, the anodynes were in measure
discontinued and the condition of the
patient Immediately improved. In
other words, the medication was hav-
ing a more deleterious effect on the
system of the patient than the dis
ease, and when the first was discon
tinued, the natural vitality of the
patient overcsme the more serious
symptoms of the latter.
Whatever may be the nature of the
disease with which Gen. Grant is af-
hicted, certain it is that it could not
have produced the alarming symp-
toms which for time appeared like
ly to prove fatal. It is equally GER
tain that the continued use of NOR
phine IN large quantities had much
to do with lowering his vitality and
augmenting the anxiety of the nation
in his behalf. 1t is certain that the
physicians in attendance were deter
mined to make all the capital they
could out of their connection with
the case without regarding the fact
that such ostentstion cannot fail to
destroy public confidence in the
medicalprofession.
In view of all the circumstances
we have reason to hope that there
may be an error in the diagnosis as
well as in the prognosis and treat
ment of the case, and that Gen. Grant
may long live as witness of the ig-
norance and incompetency of the
men who arrogate to themselves all
the knowledge in the medical profess
sion.

Death In A Castor Bean.

Two Kansas city young ladies were
lately made acquainted with grief
through the instrumentality of cast
or beans. Two gentlemen wagered
that they could eat more of them
than the ladies, and swallowed two
or three; the girls ate dozen or
more each 1t was a rather danger,
GUS business. The symptoms of poi.
soning were painfully severe, aud
lasted several hours, leaving the pa
tients greatly prostrated. Ricinine,
the toxic principle of the bean, is an
acrid poison. A number of writers
report deaths from eating castor
beans.

29th, says: There was destructive
cyclone in Northeastern Kansas on
Wednesday which scattered like chaff

The Invasion OF the Grasshoppers.

DENVER, Col, May 27-Millions OF
Young grasshoppers are reported
coming out of the sandy soil on the
south side of the Arkansas river,
above Puebla, devouring early veg
etables and tender shrubs. Their
appearance is said to be similar to
that of 1872, when they were swept
east by winds and consumed an i'm
mense amount of growing crops in
Kansas.

The Philadelphia Times says: The
excitement at Washington over the
disputed question as to who is the
first lady in the land will not down,
now that it has once been raised, and
the rival factions will aid their ut
most in tanning the spark into a
burning flame. 1t is unfortunate that
the administration should be plung
ed into the throes of so disastrous a
struggle at SO early a period of its
existence. There are grave questions
of Federal appointments, improve
ments in the civil service and outlin-
ings of future policy to which Presi
dent Cleveland should have given i'm
mediate consideration. But with So
ciety at the Capital at deadly war
with itself it is quite evident that the
public busine IS must wait until this
new and unforeseen crisis, has been
bridged and peace once more reigns
over reunited country.

What Parents Feel.

Many persons-especially parents
object to many quack nostrums as
likely to engender or encourage a
love for strong drink. They are right.
Better die of disease than of drunk
eness. The use of Parker's Tonic
does not involve this danger. 1t not
only builds up the system, curing all
ailments of the stomach, liver and
kidneys, but it stimulates without in
toxicating and absolutely cures the
appetite for liquor.
