Luke Emmarson'S Case.

BOWLING GREEN, No., Feb. %
"A cablegram was received to-
day by Capt. John W. Hendricks.
of this city, from the attorneys of
Luke Emmerson, in London, En-
gland, asking that certificates from
the law officers Of this place, Kan
sas City and St. Louis as to En-
,merson's character for peace, etc,
be sent to London at once. The
attorneys say that Mr.. Emmerson
was slugged and robbed, and was
defending himself when the fatal
shot was fred. They think if Mr..
Emmerson can show good
character-wnich he can-as a
peaceable, quiet citizen, nothing
will come of it. Robinson and
rerrell have been retained in the
case, and Judge Robinson is in St.
Louis to-day looking up testimony
for Mr.. Emmerson's defense. AS
to his being drunk when the

believes it. While it is true that
Emmerson would take drink oc-
casionally, no one here ever saw
him drunk.
Clay on Compulsory Education.
The following interview with
Senator Clay, on the compulsory
education question, appears IN the
st. Louis Chronicle:
Senator Clay thinks we are
drifting in that direction; the time
is coming and is close at hand
when the range of legislation will
be greatly extended and will no
doubt include compulsory educa-
ton, determine in a measure what
we shall not drink and what we
shall not eat SAID he: "There is,
| understand, bill pending in the
house making it misdemeanor for
an individual to give minor a
chew of tobacco. | do not think
compulsory education will obtain
in this State for while, but it is
coming. ~

RUSH HILL, No., Feb. 21.-The
loss on the building of the Peery
estate is almost $1,000, insured for
$500. J. Pike, who occupied a
part of the Clark building, saved
all of his effects. The household
effects of nearly all of those affected
by the fire were saved. Mrs. j. B.
Clark had one of he- hands badly
burned while fighting the fire at
its beginning and J. B. Clark, Jr.,
was badly burned about the face.

GONE UP IN SMOKE.
Rush Hill Again Sacrifices to the
Flames-rhe Losses Very
Heavy.

The explosion of a coal oil lamp
in the kitchen of J. B. Clark, Jr.,
at Rush Hill the 20sh at 6 o'clock
started fire that at one time
threatened to destroy the entire
town. As it is, the entire business
portion of the place is gone and the
loss will be severely felt. The
fire originated in the large frame
building occupied as u residence
and hardware store by j. B. Clark,
Jr., and in a moment the entire end
of the heuse was a mass of flames.
The citizens were powerless, owing
to the limited supply of water and
entire absence of fire-fghting appa-
ratus and the flames. had their own
way. The entire block in front of
the depot was soon enveloped and
in an hour the row was a mass of
smoking embers. The lumber yard
owned by j. b. Clark, ST., caught
afire from the flying Goals and in q
few moments was entirely destroy
ed.
VERY LITTLE INSURANCE.
The Clarks were not insured at
all and their combined losses Will
reach 5000.
There was only 500 insurance
on all of the burned buildings and
it is impossible to state how it is
divided. A. Pike is reported to
have insurance on his household
goods, which were partially de-
stroyed.
