entitled "Over the Ozarks." Some

papers"
Mrs. Letellier was undecided last night
about where to bury Beason's remains.
Ii her people were coming to Fort Worth
| she did not want to bury him until they
came, but II they were not coming, she
would use the money found in her
brothers. possession, some sixty odd dol
lars, to bury him here.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
There are many people in Gainesville
and Fort Worth who do not believe
Besson to have been guilty OF the
murder IS charged. They believe
that the man WAS not in his right
mind and that what he said to his sister
in-law Snd Officer Evans was the
fresk of diseased mind.
There are others who believe Besson
hold the opinion that the negro Frank
Washington, who SO brutslly beat Besson
on the head in this city, and for which
crime he Is now serving twenty year
term in the penitentisry, injured Besson's
brain, and that all his cratic actions are
the result OF these injuries.
There are others who believe that
BessOn was guilty, but the man has gone
before q tribunal where the whole
truth is known, and where all
the shortcomings OF human judg-
ment are Strengthened out. Human
criticism can avail nothing, and those
Besson leaves behind him are worthy
people, upright il the walks Of life and
deserving of all consideration.
AT GAINESVILLE.
Special to the Gazette,
GAINESVILLE, TEX, March 1.-The
principal topic of conversation here to-day
has been the alleged confession Of W. L.
Beason that he murdered Miss Genie
Watkins and assaulted Miss BostiCk in
this city on July 10, last. Many people
are Of the opinion that BeRson is not the
right man, IS four other men have been
arrested and confessed to the crime, but
afterwards established their innocence.
Beason's alleged statement that he en-
tered the room by opening the window
with Ratchet is not true, as all the win
6ows were up when the young ladies re-
tired. Besides, the character of the
wounds were such that they could not
have been inflicted with Ratchet. 1t is
also doubted iii can be proved thatBeeson
was here at the time of the tragedy, as
no one has yet been found who saw him
here. Major Bostick, father Of one OF
the young ladies, is Of the opinion that
Besson is not the murderer. Officers left
here this evening to interview the oficer
who brought Beason from Mississippi
and ascertain If sufficient facts have been
discovered to establish Beason's guilt to
certainty. Great interest in the result
of the Investigation exists here.

DRAWING NEARER TO WAR.

BERLIN, March 4.-The Czsr's agents
have renewed their efforts TO raise loan
of 500, 000,0 900 roubles at nominal rate
in Amsterdam, London and Paris. The
loan II secured will ameliorate war, but
il refused 1t will not prevent it. The re-
lstions Of Russia with all the powers are
tsking 8 development exactly as was
forecast in these dispatches. The diplo-
matte proposals Of Russia hsve resulted
in nothing definite. What is definite,
however, is the frantic esgerness of Rus
sia to obtain war loan and her ceaseless
preparations for war. The discomfort
among the commercial class IN Russia and
the fall in the value Of the psper rouble
will weaken the CzIr's control OF affairs
and lead him to complete submission to
the war party, who offer him the slterna-
tive Of facing the revolutionary party.
TheireVolutionSry organs declare thAt war
rapidly approaches and predict the con-
quest and ruin OF RussiS and the submits
sion of the Slsvists to Germany unless
the policy Of the Gar is replaced by the
free nstion8l management of public af-
fairs. However much he may be sVerse
to war, the internal designs of Russia will
soon force the Gar to risk the future of
the Romsnof dynasty by challenging the
central powers.

was no sign of life about the house, but
finally 6 second story window was raised

spoke in s clear, sad tone. His closing
words were these: "Boys, am glad %

hear my voice. 1 am going to my home,
and feel that am going to my home to
die" A few months later he died at his
home in Marsbfeld.

TALK OF A REGENCY.

BERLIN, March 4-During the week
Prince Bismarck had long conference
with Emperor William, it is supposed
with reference to the proposal TO grant
Prince William power to reign in event of
the temporary Incspacity of the Emperor
concurrent with the prostration OF the
Crown Prince. The Crown Prince differs
with Prince Bismarck on the question OF
8 regency Of this character. 1t is report
ed that the Emperor accedes TO the 'pro-

marCk's plea that the simultaneous i'll
ness Of himself and the Clown Prince
might create confusion in the msnsge-
ment Of public affairs. The Emperor Is
careful to show himself every day, either
driving or appearing at the window Of
