WILLIS
cordingly passed through the door,
Carter in the lead. A moment after he
disappeared there was revolver shot,
and Carter plunged off the plank shot
through the head. Mrs. Willis, hoping
to save the life of her father and at the
same time prevent her husband from
becoming murderer, Sprang from
the boat and sought to pre-
vent further shooting, but she was
rudely pushed aside by the Infatuated
Willis, who fired five additional shots
into the body of his victim.
Mrs. Willis fled to Pomeroy, with the
double purpose of there seeking safety
from her husband and of acquainting
the authorities with the details of the
crime, and in a few hours an armed
posse of men were en- route for the
scene of the murder. The body of
Carter was found lying where he had
fallen, but Willis was missing, and with
him had gone his Winchester rifle and
two revolvers. Inquiry deve Hoped the
fact that he had crossed into West
Virginia, and thither his pursuers
followed him, and were soon hot on
his trail. being reinforced by many
citizens of Jackson county. through
the forests and mountains of which the
murderer was fleeing. The pursuit
was continued into the night, being
conducted all the more keenly because
of information given by Mrs. Willis
that, in addition to the murder of her
father, Willis had killed man and his
wife i'll a boat mouse near Point Pleas
| ant, West Virginia, five years before,
and had secreted the bodies by weight
ing them down to the bottom of
the Ohio with heavy stones.
The pursuit of Willis was continued
for about fifteen miles, and then, there
being some doubt as to the course he
had taken, the party divided into sew
eral squads. One of these squads was
| surprised by the fugitive in thick
| piece of woods some time after mid
| night, and dozen or more shots were
| exchanged. Willis escaped unhurt, but
| young Jackson county citizen named
Thornton was killed by the outlaw, and
another of the pursuers wounded.
That was the last seen of Willis for
| several days, when a farmer, walking
| along road OH the Ohio side of the
| river, suddenly saw the murderer sit
| ting on the top rail of a fence with his
| Winchester lying across his knees. See
| ing he had been recognized, Willis told
| the farmer that he would never be
taken alive, and that he would promptly

| Several times during the ensuing week
! he was seen along the river, but no at
tempt was made to arrest.him.
On the morning of April 8 Willis
| boarded the little steamer Ben Hur.
| plying between Portsmouth and Wheel
| ing, and paid his passage to Wheeling.
He was almost instantly recognized, but
no one on the boat cared to run the
danger by pretending to know
him, and nothing occurred until Willis
found that the boat ran up stream only
as far as Wheeling. He said he
wanted to go to Pittsburg, and during
the evening hailed passing Pittsburg
towboat and asked to be taken on board,

HER PREFERENCE.

1t was a glorious evening,
The moon was full and bright,
The air was soft and balmy--
A perfect August night.
Across the park they wandered,
A young man and a maid;
He was little timid,
She not bit afraid.
The walks were half-deserted
(The hour was growing late);
Fond lovers on the benches
Were sitting tete-a-tete.
The sweet perfume Of flowers
Weighted down the evening breeze !;
The electric light shOne brightly
Among the dark-stemmed trees.
"Now isn't this delightful
The simple young man said,
"These lights among the foliage,
The full moon overhead"
She hesitated slightly,
Then glanced about the park.
"Well-yes," she said-'or rather
1t would be if 'twere dark"

New York is filled with widows will
ing to marry again. There are over
fifty widows here with individual fort
unes ranging from 81, 900, 900 to S15,00O,-
600. A majority of them married
old men, some of them had been
married before. others yielded to the
inevitable at late period of their ex-
istence. Generally speaking, the
women thus married had spent the
early portion of their lives in teaching,
in housekeeping, or in the marriage
state with other men. Circumstances
Z gave them a hold upon milliOn-
aire this, that or the other.
the grip developed a tenacity
.1oosened only by the hand of death.
!. The surrogate's court has been bur-
ldened by contested willS-wills made
by venerable men of fortune, who sue
cumbed to the destinations of women in
the late hours of their lives, and, disre-
garding the claims of children, the lies
of affection, left the bulk of their for
tunes to women who all too often have
been deemed simple fortune-hunters..

of this article. | must say that New
York widows appear to be equal to this
and every other emergency.
They toll not, neither do they, spin.
They simply get married second, a
third, fourth time, and appear to en-
joy it, AS general thing they improve
their financial condition at each
step, and after two or three ex-
periences in the matrimonial line
loom out as leaders of society, give teas
and germans and occasional readings,
and are known in all the marts of com
merce as patrons of liberality and good
taste.
1t is a great thing to be a widow with

Damming the Great Canyons.

Danin1nS Cne GfeaC Canyons.
No grander idea has ever been sug-
gested than that proposed by our
national survey-to dam the canyons of
the Rocky Mountains, in order to form
vast reservoirs of water, that may
be used as needed, to keep
the arid lands of the great
dry basins irrigated and fertile.
The plan will, if carried out, be equally
valuable in preventing floods in the
Missouri and Lower Mississippi valleys.
1t is believed that 10000 square miles of
land may thus be reclaimed for cultiva-
ton. The extent of this may be seen by
the fact that the total extent of land
now under cultivation in the United
States is less than 100000 square miles.
Dams can be constructed strong enough
absolutely to regulate the spring flood
ing, retain the supply and feed it out
slowly, as may be needed, all summer.
We shall, by such work, not greatly
surpass the engineering feats of the

What is ScrofuIa

tits thatimpurity in the blood, which pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings on the
glands of the neck; causes running sores
on the arms, legs or feet; developes ulcers
in the eyes, ears, or nose, often caus-
trg blindness or deafness; is the origin
OF cancerous growths, boils, pimples, or
"humors." 1t is more formidable enemy
than consumption or cancer alone, for scrof-
ula combines the worst possible features Of
both. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which, by the cures it has
accomplished, has proven itself potent
and peculiar medicine for this disease.
Some of these cures are really wondering.

the real issue is between the democrats
ON the one hand and Republicans on the
other, and that the former advocate
what, il not free trade, is next cousin TO
tia great step in that direction-while
the Republicans stand by the principles
81 protective tariff, principle which
has made America what il is--thc great
est nation on the earth. The question
now Il shall we abandon that system or
shall we resort Co the oft tried system OF
tariff reform leading 10 absolute free
trade. For my part ann in for Harrison
and Morton and protection. Every
thousand feet Of lumber, every barrel OF
salt, every ton OF pig iron, steel rails on
other manufactured article represents
just so many days work as il necessary
TO manufacture IL, and consequently
every manufactured article brought from
abroad imports that number OF days
labor and deprives the laborers OF this
country of just SO many days labor
Besides il sends the price OF that
labor. as well ms of the material
out OF the country and reduces ths
circulation OF money in this country just
that amount and increases the money
circulation in the country from whence
the article IL brought. Capital and labor
are iiaepcrable, and when we send the
capital money oHt Of the country w
rob labor OF that which IL is dependent
upon for remuneration. When money u

tariffs Louis Napoleon said he had a
majority Of his chambers quite opposed
20 free trade, and that they would not
pass decided measure; that by the
constitution hecould alter the tariff by a
decree. He then inquired what should
advise him 10 do in regard 20 the French
tariff. said should attack one article
oi great and universal necessity, as had
done in England when fconiined all my
efforts TO the abolition Of the corn laws,
knowing that when that cIcf dc voufe
keystone Of the Arch was removed the
whole system would fall. Ia France the
great primary want was cheap iron,
and should begin by abolishing theduty
ON iron and coal, and then should be IN
better condition for approaching the
other industries"
This scrap Of history can be proftably
considered by every voter disposed TO
listen 20 the free tradepromise Of cheaper
living as his pay for helping TO remove
the keystone Of the arch Of protection
to the labor and industries Of the United
States. Neither free wool. free iron, nor
free salt, willsatisfy the president and his
Golden club assistants. They are for
absolute free trade. regardless OF con-
ditions accompanying it, and their Gree
raw material plea is made with the res
ervation and understanding that this

gradual approaches the citidel Of protec-
ton which they dare not attempt to carry
