An Eccentric Mans End.

Nevada, Mo, Jan. 16.-Charles
Vaughan. wealthy and prominent
citizen of Schell City, this county,
was found in his bed at an early
hour this morning, speechless and
apparently dead. Both hands were
drawn over his right shoulder, the
fingers of one lightly grasping his
neck and the other clutching the
hair. Physicians were called, but
were unable to remove the hands
from their position. 1t is the opin-
ion that the cause of Vaughan s
condition is a spasm. Some years
ago he became very eccentric in his
notions, especially concerning the
teachings of the Bible, holding that
food should be eaten in its natura.
state, and he followed out this no
ton in his own eating. He woulo
take wheat to his room, masl
it himself and then eat it. HI
scarcely ever ate meat of any kind
but subsisted chiefly upon vegets
bles.

ZINC MEN IN A BOX.
Pleading Against ii Reduction Which
Had Been Made Years Ago.


the last session of congress when
the ways and means committee was
maturing a tariff reduction bill pal
ties Interested in the mining AID
manufacture of zinc were greaty
agitated and delegations headed by
Mr.. Mcclellan of Joplin, Mo, ard
Mr.. Means of Illinois came to WasL-
ington to protest against the reduc-
ton of duty on zinc ore, represented
to be II cents per pound or 1880
per ton. It was insisted that if the
duty was lessened utter ruin would
follow and the zinc industry be
crushed out of existence. However,
no tariff reduction was accomplished
and delegation of zinc men from
southwestern Missouri recently put
in an appearance before the ways and
means committee and reiterated their
statements made at the Forty ninth
congress.
At this juncture MIR. Breckenridge
of Kentucky, concluded to emulate
the example of Benjaman Eranklin's
experiment as to the putting the fist
in the bowl to see if the water would
run over, and he asked to be furnish
ed with the tariff schedule of duty
on zinc ore. Sufficient to say inves-
tigation did not disclose the alleged
position of $3.50 per ton duty, and
inquiry was thereupon made OF the
secretary of the treasury. This in,
quiry developed the hitherto un-
know and unsuspected fact that zinc
ore was only subjected to an advalo
rem duty amounting to about 80
cents per ton and that no specific
duty whatever was taxed upon thai
article.
To say that the zinc men were as
tonished but mildly expresses thu
situation. Remarkable as it may
seem, they had supposed that zin'
ore was protected by specific dut.
of and ! cents per pound, ane
were utterly oblivious to the fac
that the zinc industry was flourish
! ing and that they had become ricl
|. and prosperous under a practicall
free trade schedule.
The members of the ways an
means committee are now poking fu
at Congressman Stone, who had al
sured them that his people were u
in arms at the threatened destru'
ton of their infant industry, if th
= duty which it seems did not exis
was lessened or eliminated. NJ

this incident upon the floor OF tt
- house to demonstrate that most I

the hogs have died with cholera: the
health Of the neighborhood IS good;
farmers have organized themselves in
to a Union, which is doing good work
and bids fair to be a success. In con
cluslon be favors the early building
OF several projected railroads through
his section, which section he invites
all seeking homes to visit before par-
chasing elsewhere.
Mr.. c. 3. Csraway writes from Su-
