Tense, he had shot and killed Capt. Robert
Johnson. one OF the most prominent citizens of
the county. at bis Tome near Salarta. This
morning a large number of Johnson's frisnds
went to the jail and took Arnold. saying that
they intended to avenge the death Of their
friend and neighbor. Since their departure
nothing has been heard from them, but it is
reasonably certain that Arnold has paid
the debt of his fearful crime. The
Captain johnson had had some words with
Arnold, but nothing of a serious nature.
Arnold armed himself with a large-siZeG pistol,
walked up To johnson, who was under the in
fuepce of liquor, threw him TO the ground, at
the same time placing his pistol TO Johnsou's
left temple. and fired, causing instant death.
Arnold took an unloaded gun from johnson and
beat his head into a bloody mass. Arnolds
wife and two brothers were witnesses to the
tragedy, and pleaded for Johnson's life. but
Arnold threatened TO kill them if they opened
their mouths. These facts were given to . CHI.
zens' meeting near the scene by Arnold's wife
and other Witnesses. In the posse TO take
Arnold there we're many colored people. who
said that the killing of their old master WAS
brutal. and that his slayer ought to be lynched.

NJ. Myers Brothers. creditors of Lindauer
Brothers & Co., who failed Friday. were not
among those who secured preferential judg-
ments. and filed a petition this afternoon asking
the County Court to declare the failure an as
signment for the benefit of creditors. and thus
cut out the judgment creditors and two Chicago
banks to whom insolvents transferred $7s, 900
worth of accounts. The petition is the frat OF
its kind ever fled 10 the Chicago courts. In eff

The attempt is successful, then the assets of the

goods TO the extent of s650. 900. and most OF the

the total assets are not over $3.50, 600. and
the total liabilities exceed the assets by

PARIS. Nov. 19.-In the Chamber Of Deputies.
to-day, NJ. Goblet, Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
stated that France had not en- gagged to cooperate
with England and Germany In 3 blockade of the
coast Of East Africa. Both powers. he said, had
requested permission from tho Frencb govern
ment to search ships flying the French flag
which were suspected OF being engaged in the
slave trade or in importing arms into Africa.
The government had replied that to search for
arms was a natural result Of on effective block
ade, but il could not recognize the right of Eng
land or Germany to search all vessels under
the French flag. Certain abuses due to
the slave trade might have arisen. but they
did not have the gravity with which
it was sought to invest them. They we're not
to be compared with those perpetrated in the in
terror or on the coast Of North Africa. Never
theless. q French war ship would be sent to pre-
vent the slave trade being conducted under the
French flag. IL further action WAS proposed NJ.
Goblet declared that he would be guided by cir
cumstances without in any way sacrificing the
traditions. dignity or interests Of the country.
NJ. Goblets remarks were greeted with applause.

cpl Keep MY Eyes Shut"
BY BETH IRVING.

Little Henry had been very sick.
When he was slowly getting better,
and was just able to be up and about
the room, he was left alone short
time; his sister came in eating piece
of cake.
Henry's mamma had told him that
he must eat nothing but what she gave
him, because it would not be safe for
him to have what other children did
till he was stronger. He was hungry;
the cake did look 80 good; he wanted
very much to take bite of it, and the
kind sister would gladly have given it
to him.
"Jennie," said he, "you must run
right out Of the room away from me
with that cake, and pU keep my eyes
shut while you 60, 80 that I sha'n't
want it."
Wasn't that a good way for little
boy Of seven years to get out of temp
tation? I think 80. E
If other children, and big people,
too, would remember Henry's way,
they would escape from sin and
trouble very often.

The Reason Why.

The question, "Why is a dram
drinkers nose red?" is answered by
DIR. J. B. Johnson, of Washington,
who says "The dram-drinker's heart
beats about thirteen times oftener in
the minute than the heart of one who
does not drink alcohol. The arteries
in consequence of this increased action
carry the blood to the nose quicker
than the veins carry it back. The
blood, therefore, remains congested in
the overfilled vessels, and the nose
and the face as well, thus becomes
habitually red. So stagnant is this
blood that when the dram-drinker's
nose meets a sudden current of cold
air it Immediately turns purple, and so
remains until warm air restores the
red color. So the red nose is caused
by congestion. sEvery organ in the
body is in similar state-a warning
of an impending fate not to be avoid
ed." The stomach of the drinker is in
bad state also, as DR.. Sewells stom-
ach plates plainly show. They are the
best object lessons on this subject ever
presented. The best way is to let all
strong drink alone.

Love to God.

When Jehovah had laid the founda-
tions of the earth, and had called into
being His creature mon, His love was
celebrated by the harmony of the
spheres, and raptures ofangels. "The
morning stars sang together, and all
the Sons of God shouted for JOY"
And when the same love was yet more
gloriously displayed in the mission
and incarnation of the Prince of Peace,
when both the majesty and the mercy
of God were made manifest to man
kind in Jesus, the melody of heaven
again became audible. And suddenly
there was with the shepherdsa multi
tude of the heavenly host, praising
God, and saying: "Glory to God in
the highest, on earth peace, good will
towards men," AS this blessed dis
pensation extends its influence over
the world, songs of praise will be
more and more heard from the utter
most parts of the earth.
"One song employ all nations,
Worthy the Lord. for he was slain for u.s."
Joseph John Gur7aey.

HOME FIRST.-Let home stand first
before all other things. No matter
how high your ambition may trans
cend its duties, no matter how far your
talents or your influence may reach
beyond its doors, before everything
else build up true home. Be not its
slave be it's minister. Let it not be
enough that it is swept and garnished,
that it's food is delicious; but feed the
love in it, feed the truth in it. feed
thought and aspiration, feed all chari-
ty and gentleness in it. Then from its
walls shall come forth the true woman
aud the true man, who shall together
rule and bless the land.

pleasant, and, as the advertisements

cal application may be very useful,
and there is a common-sense character
about this advice that commends it,
but it can do very little if there is
want of general good health. Rub
bing is nothing if the stomach is inef-
ticient. What we eat, the character of
our exercise, the method of our study
these all have their influence on our
voices, making them strong, resonant,
flexible, or the opposite.

Is it Right to Play Cards?

that I should no sooner say to my fam

Conscientious young ladies are 81
