Blankets for use and blank

prettiest.
California takes the palm

Mission Mills come first The

Mills make useful blankets

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30.--A special from Harri-
son, Ark, Gays: Details have Just reached
this place of the cold-blooded murder at
his home IN Marion county on the 22d inst.
OF James N. Hamilton, late deputy collector
of internal revenue, In the Office OF Henry
NJ. Cooper at Little Rock.
About two years ago Hamilton, while act
ing as deputy collector OF internal revenue,
made raid In johnson county on num-
Der OF Illicit distilleries, among whom was
a man by the name Of Mulllgan, capturing
one Of the distilleries and managing to get
here with their crooked property. Mulligan
was one OF those who escaped, and nothing
more was heard OF him until short time
ago, when he came to the home
Of Hamilton, who was living on
farm In Marion county and
applied for work on the farm giving his
name as Page. Hamilton employed him
and he worked until last Friday night with
out attracting any particular attention. On
that night he left Hamllton's and went to
the house OF neighbor about a half mile
distant to spend the night. After the family
had retired for the night Page or Mul'
ligan left the house and going
back to namilton's crept into the
latter's bedroom and as he lay asleeI
placed pistol to his head, blew out hii
| brains and fed. Mrs. Hamilton gave INT
alarm and, there being some men about thu
place, the neighbors were soon aroused ant
In pursuit Of the murderer. A party o
| citizens caught him a short distanc,
from he thouse and, placing rop'
around his neck made him comics
\ his crime. just as they were In tn
act OF lynching him, another party OF clti
zens came up and tue lynchers supposini
| them to be officers, left their mon and scat
| tered. Mulligan, taking advantage of th
excitement escaped, but was recaptured tn
now In Jail.
Hamilton had twice been elected sherli
and twice circuit clerk Of SeIiay county
He was for four years deputy collector {
internal rsvenue and was a candidate 10
sheriff ut the receut election.

John W. Causey, collector of internal
revenue, was busy Monday morning issu-
ing licenses for the sale of oleomargarine,
and about 20 have been taken ont by
dealers. The oleomargarine stamps
themselves, which must be attached
to each package offered for sale
have a pretty design of shield,
on either side of which are hus-
baudman aud mechanic, forming, it ia
said, combination of the dairy and the
mechanical industries which are alleged
to be necessary to the successful manu-
factura of oleomargarine. The collector
will see that the law is enforced.

ST.. PAUL, Dec. 15-The Northern Pacific
railroad has announced reduction of pas
senger rates in Dakota from five to four
cents per mile. On the main line and all
branches in Montana, Idaho, Washington
territory and Oregon the local tariff. COM
mencing January 1st, will be on the uni
form basis of fivecents per mile, the pres
ent tariff ranging from six and half to
eight cents per mile. This voluntary re-
duction has not been caused by competi-
ton, for ON some portions of the line there
is none. The officials feel that the road is
earning fair amount of money and they
now feel able to do something in the inter
ests of the people.

HURON, OAK, Dec. l6.-The constltu-
tional convention met this morning, Judge
EdgertOn presiding Judge Campbell, from
the joint conference committee, presented
the following report:
Resolved, That the conference commit
tee recommend the repealing of section 80 of

ton that section 81 of the schedule and ordi-

mitted by Mr.. Haines:

ing of the schedule and ordinance of the consti-
tuition, number 81, be, and the same is, hereby
! resclnded and abrogated and held null and void.
Judge Campbell moved the adoption Of
the majority report, and Mr.. Taylor of the
minority report. The latter adverted to
the fact that all well-informed lawyers
knew that the power OF congress was
supreme in the territory, and he cited
the case directly affecting Dakota that had
been decided by the supreme court of the
United States. He strongly favored sub
hitting the question to a vote of the peo-
pie, and it was evident his position was
shared by many in the convention. After
considerable fnrOre the discussion was
closed, and vote was taken, which re-
suited III favor of the adoption of the ma
jority report-2S to 9. The vote was made
unanimous. Judge Edgerton addressed
the meeting, urging stcadfastness and har-
mony. A committee OF two was appointed
to act with the committees from boti.
branches of the. Legislature, to draft and
present memorial to congress setting
forth the action OF this convention. Judge
Campbell. A. Haines and Judge Edgerton

resolutions were adopted reciting the his

lish an address to the people of the United
States setting forth the grievances OF the

adopted that the convention recommend
that the state legislature make provision
for the submission to the people, at the
election next November, of a proposition
that the state 60 into operation in January,
