The question Of who can be given
the title of colonel with propriety in
kentucky has at last been settled by
competent authority. BY the latest
rule every man who conducts large
distillery is ipso facto a colonel.
Every prominent railroad official is
also colonel. Every man with a
Government office is n colonel.
Every great editor is a colonel. The
chief of police department is a de
facto colonel. Then there are other
gentlemen who arc coloncls because
no other title fits them. If a man
has been Il captain in the war, never
call him captain ; call him colonel.
lie is entitled to this promotion
twcnty-four hours after the war has
closed.

Major Mcdonald, before the Chamber

Major Mcdonald, before the Chamber
of Commerce ut Charlotte, n. c., recently
gavc some sound sense regarding news
papers. Hear him: "Encourage your
home papors and help build them up,
for the culture, intelligence and public
sentiments of a ciry are often gauged by
tho character Of tho paper it supports.
Every place of importance must have tho
mighty aid of the press, Il journal that
will publish to tho world it's advantages,
its lifo, its wears, its goods, its manu-
factories, and reflect like mirror tho
daily acts, deeds, intentions and progress
of it's people. l make the statement
that an able, digniiicd, conservative and
progressive newspaper is of more real
hc"ctit toward advertising, stimulating
and building a city than any other agency
or enterprise that she can possess"

The one thing nccdful for anv ,

The one thing nccdful for any vii
lage, town or city is concert of &C.
ton. The old fable of the bunch OF
sticks that could l." broken singly,
but, that kept together, could not be
fractured, has its Counterpart in this.
Harmonious action for the public
good will accomplish wonders. Con-
flicting opinions that prevent united
efforts will injurc all concerned.
But the sclfishncss that looks SO
closely after its own as to render it
indifferent to the public interests
will defeat itself. What MANY
Southern communities need is to
abandon provincialism and to become
as broad and liberal as the present
age requires. The way lies to that
progress which leads to prosperity.

The cash was drawn on Saturday, Decem-
Der 8, 1888. That day Harrison wired:
Mrs. Annie Harrison, No. 1910 Carr
Street, St Louis: Will be home next

Instead of waiting until Wednesday,
however, Harrison went ov to CarrolltOn,
purchased lady's gold watch and other

PERSONAL HISTORY.
A little of the personal history of the
Chihuahua prisoners is in order at this
point. The woman belongs to a very res
pec;able family, having a mother and two
sisters at Long Point, near StrealOr, Ill.
The woman, Annie, was married To David
Samuels, a respectable farmer, living near
up with Harrison. She is described as
very handsome woman, somewhat younger
than Harrison, but deyotedly attached to
him. AS discreditable as is her social
standing where her follies are known, she
nevertheless corresponds constantly, where
ever she may be, with one of her maiden
sisters, and to this fact, skillfully employed
by Detective Furlong, Harrison's capture
is 5nally due. Ssmuels, the deserted hus-
band, has made repeated efforts 70 find his
erin wife, but by the assistance of Har-
rison she has heretofore contrived To keep
out Of his way.
Harrison, who is now in the hands of the
officers of the law. is regaIutni as the black
sheep Of the Harrison family. His real
name is w. +. Harrison and be nephew
of j. w. Harrison, whose high standing is
referred to at the beginning of the article,
and in Whose name he operated in securing
the money on Cassidy Bros draft. He is
charged with several dIscreditable CONNER
cial trans ctions in the stock dealing line
i'm the vicinity of Lexington and is said to
have escaped serious troubles only through
the interposiiion of members OF his family.
Three years ago he went 10 Texas and was
employed on a cattle drive. While driv-
ing cattle he got into u rev with two
brothers, killed them both, and was
himself shot through the left lung He
came very near dying at the time, and has
trouble with the wound to this day. Hsr-
rison and Mrs. Annie Ssmuels have heen
together most of the time for three or four
years. while before the last escapede
they lived at Kansas City where he worked
for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe COM
pany. and very short time before the
draft episode they removed to Srreator, ILL.,.
near Long Point, where Mrs. Samuels' peo-
pie live. There he worked a little while
on ne~ railroad, then came with the
woman to st. Louis, took board at No. 1910
Carr street, and began this cattle and drsft
operations about Norborne.

and fastened her teeth in one of his fingers.
He slung her loose, and, Selling shovel,
killed her Immediately. The wound in
his finger soon healed.
Last Saturday morning, Just one week
later, the other cat suddenly showed signs
of fight, and with bristles raised ran un-
der the bed in which Mrs. Womsc was ly-

the floor, the cat bit her on the heel. Her
husband, hearing her screams, rushed in

Shut BY THE MARSHAL.
A Drunken Desperate Killed at
Grant City by an
Officer.

Grant City. Mo-, Feb. IA tragedy
was enacted in this town Sunday night
which terminated the life of one man and
resulted in the dangerous wounding of an
ether. RoIly Walton, aged shout 81 years,
was drinking yesterday, and frequently
made threats that he would kill &. Bold
ridge, city marshal, against wnom he held
a grudge. Last night about o'clock the
marshal stepped into the bar-room of the
Martin House and met Walton, and walk
ing towards him, said that he wished TO
speak to him. WaIton's brother-in-law
had previously warned the marshal to be
on the lookout as the former was armed
and looking for him.
As soon az the marshal addressed him,
Walton drew Smith & Wesson and opened
fire. The marshal returned the fire and
when hostillities ceased Walton was living
on the floor with bullet through his heart,
while the officer was untouched, but during
the shooting d. A. Martin, landlord, re-
ceived ball in his left arm near the
shoulder, shattering the arm so badly as to
necesstiate amputation.
When sober, Walton was quiet and or
derby, but when under the influence of
liquer he was d desperate, whom nearly
everybody feared.
The news of the killing spread rapidly,
and yesterday many country people were
in town viewing the corpse, which is still
lying in the sample-room of the Martin
House. Public opinion justi6es the mar
shall in killing Walton.
