lison and Hatfield, participants in
the Hatfield-McCoy feud, in iail now
IN kentucky, have confessed to facts
concerning the murder of the three
McCoys and the murders Of 1albert,
Farley and Randolph. The Hat
fields captured them, tied them to a
tree and gave them time to say their
prayers. John Hatfield then shot
Farley, Anse Hatfield killed Talbert,
and Alex Musser killed Randolph.
All the Others also emptied their,wea-
pons into the bodies of the victims.
Then Wall Hatfield made all the
band swear to take the life of the
first man who divulged the names
of those who were along. Hatfield
further said that he and Tom Wal
lace killed JEFF Mccoy and gave the
particulars of the brutal murder of
Alfera and Alven Mccoy in 1880.
The Hatfield gang surrounded the
house, which they fired. They shot
q girl while she was trying to extin-
gulsh the flames. Both Ellison and
John Hatfield claimed to have shot

TERRIBLE STORM IN VIRGINIA.
New YORK, April S.-The following
dispatch was filed for the associated
press on last Saturday and was re-
celved this morning:
HARRISBURG, Va, April 6.-The
worst snow storm OF the season is
raging-a perfect blizzard. Snow is
from eight to ten inches deep and
badly drifted. 1t is blowing a perfect
hurricane, fifty miles an hour. The
wires are down and we have been cut
off from the outside world for the
last thirty-six hours.
MORE STORM.
STAUNToN, Va, April S.-The Sc
verest snow storm prevailed on Sat
urday known here in thirty six years.
Twenty inches of snow fell very rap
idly. The streams are swelling.
TROUBLE WITH SETTLERS.
Fort DODGE, April S.-A posse OF
twenty-five men will arrive from Des
Moines this evening to assist the
United States marshal in evictions,
which will take place as soon as the
rain ceases. The settlers say that if
the coming investigation sustains the
claimant. immediate possession will
be given without the necessity for re-
course to eviction. President Boyn-
ton, of the Settlers Union, disclaims
responsibility for acts of violence to-
ward evictions. He says they are the
work of individuals driven to desper-
alton by their wrongs.

A NEWSPAPER, if it has any brains,
conscience or muscle back of it, says
an exchange, must continually decide
between doing its duty and injuring
its pocket. In any position but that
of editor the public is able to separate
the individual home from the citizen.
But if the editor does not please them,
its his pocket they aim at. Thus it
is that newspapers learn who their
friends are. The man who re ads a
newspaper and admires it all the year
round, yet gives his business support
to other concern whose principles he
detests, is not a friend of the former
paper. Admiration will not run a
newspaper. Sooner or later such ad-
mirers will find that the object of
their affections has become welded to
other ways that they do not admire
in other words, newspaper is COM
PEELED, in order to live, to seek the
friendship Of those who are not SO
platonic i'll their love, but unite that
practical esteem with sentiment that
blends mutual admiration in other
professions. There are too many men
who expect an editor to slave in de-
fense Of their pet notions and hobbies,
advocate their views against the
strongest opposition and coolly with
hold the business support by which
alone a small newspaper can live.
Talk about a paper having a public
duty to perform, and an editor having
to labor for his principles, is cheap
while others stand back and, while ex-
tending luke-warm neutrality with
one hand, are filling their pockets
with the other hand as a result OF the
editors labors for his principles,
which they admire but do not sup
port.
