WEALTHY RANCHMAN SHOT
David H. Graavrr Fatally w"uni,i bY Charles
liffor', an Fx-ru :ilist, Now a
travelling Nun.

Special to the Gazette.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 6.-David
II. Greever, the wall known anj wealthy
cnttleman, was shot and fnialiy wounded
this afternoon by Charles Clifford, al
ex-pugilist from san Francisco and
travelling man from New York. Clifford
and his wife have been living at the
hotel Andrews tor some time and he has
been of the opinion that all was not we'll.
This afternoon he left the hotel Saving
that he was going down town. but he
was only out long enough to give Greever
time to fall into the trap uni
when be went back 10 his rooms he found
the door locked ana Greever inside. He
could not break open the door, so he
went around aud crawled through the
window In the veranda, but Greever had
opened the door AMI was running down
the hallway. Clifford followed and shot
four times at the fleeing man, hitting
him twice in the side both wounds being
suflicient to cause death. Mrs. Clifford
says that after Mr.. Clifford left the
house Greever came to her room and
asked to be let in. but she refused and
he forced the door open and made inde-
cent proposals to her.
She Indignantly refused him and he at
tempted to drag her into back room,
when her husband returned in time to
save her. Greever has been removed to Il
hospital aud the physicians say that he
cannot live. Clifford is in jail. but posi-
lively refuses to talk about the case.
Greever has been here for about three
months. He came from Medicine Lodge,
Kan. About three months ago his wife
instituted suit for divorce against him
alleging cruel treatment on his part.
Greever is wealthy; being worth about
Sl0O 900. He is an extensive raucher in
Texas.
DEPUTY Coroner Collins took Greever's
anti-mortem statement as follows: |
walked up to the Hotel Andrews and
called for Mrs. Ball. proprietress, with
the intention of paying my board bill.
Just before going l ordered a lv-
eryman to hitch up team
to buggy. The liveryman is across
the street. l said that | would be back
IN five minutes. When l went 10 20 see
Mrs. Ball she was gone and Mrs. Clifford
was there and asked me into her bed
room, saying she would get Mrs. Ball.
She talked with me there for a few
minutes, when l said that my time was
up and l would have to go. just as
arose to go Clifford jumped In through
an open window and said, Throw up
your hands, with vile epi;heis. l said
would not throw them up under such
circumstances and started to walk out
of the door. Mr.. Clifford shot me in the
back. the first shot taking effect. He
fired four shots afterwards, but they ell
missed me.
Subsequently to a reporter Greever
said he thought the scheme of the Clif-
fords WAS TO black mail him. He said If
be had a revolver it would not have
happened

A correspondent of the London Truth
sends the following: "A few days ago |
was standing by an American gentleman,
when l expressed wish to know which
point was the north. He ut once epullrd
out his watch, looked Ut II, and pointed
10 the north. asked him whether he
had n compass attached to his watch.
'A.l watches. he replied, ARE COM
passes. Then he explained to me how
this was. Point the hour hand to the
sun, and the south is exactly half way
between the hour ana the figure XII, on
the watch. For instance, suppose that
il ia o clock. Point the hand indica-
ting to the sun and ii on the watch is
exactly south. Suppose that it is s
o clock, point the hand indicating s to
the sun, and the figure X on the watch is
due south. My American friend was
quite surprised that l did not know this
Thinking that very possibly was igno-
rant of q thing that every one else knew
and happening TO meet Mr.. Stanley,
asked that eminent traveller whether he
was aware of this simple mode of dis
covering the points of the compass. Re
said that he had never heard of it. l

The Negrom Great Adxnntara.

A. ID. Mayo in the November Forum.
From his appearance IN this country
the negro has been in the direct line Of
| Anglo Saxon training for self help.
Under the providence of God the two
hundred years spent by the African in
the United States previous to 1865, was
| the most effective application OF COM
pulsory education in the fundamentals of
civilized life to which any barbarous
people was ever subjected. This train
ing, on its negative side at least, had the
merit of holding the pupil well in hand,
and of defending him in several wavs
from his lower self. Distributed over a
vast territory; among the superior fam
lilies of the country; protected against
ills that have harried every European
people on its upward march, notably
from "sword, pestilence and famine, -
the negro was found farther out of the
woods of African barbarisn In 1865 than
any other people after five hundred years
of the old-time European training. That
this was ccomplished with less wear and
tear than III the ordinary upward move
ment toward civilization, was shown by
the wonderful spectacle of the five mil
lion slaves caring for the home life of
eleven states in rebellion against the ma
ton, while fully conscious OF the meac-
ing of the awful tumult amid which they
waited patiently for delive-ance. A
considerable class was, on emancipation,
found completely qualified for 8 'lf-help.
The agent of the great Davis estate on
the islands OF the Mississippi river was
colored man, declared by Bishop Green
to be one of the best men in Mississippi,
and for time was owner Of q portion OF
the estate. The mechanics of the South
were largely slaves.

Good Results of Farmers. Alliance.

Washington GLADDEN. in the November Forum
How long the farmers will hold to-
eether in their alliances Is difficult to
predict. 1t may be that the discussions
in which they must take part will show
them that some of the measures of
direct relief on which they are chiefly
depending are Impracticable; and 1t Is
conceivable that this discovery will
tend to dem0ralize them. That they
can become a permanent political force
is not likely, for parties which represent
only glasses cannot live in a republic.
But several Results, by no means uude-
sirable, may be looked for rs the out
come OF this farmers uprising.
l. They will secure a thorough discus.
sion of some important economical ques-
tons. They will force the people to
consider carefully the problem OF the
stale ownership Of the great public
highways. If the farmers can stick to-
gether AMI stick to their text long
enough to get this business thoroughly
ventilated, they will do good service.
2. They are loosening the bands of
partisanship and opening the way for
rational cooperation of citizens for all
desirable purposes. II is not Improbable
that it will lead to reconstruction Of
parties.
8. They are helping to make an end Of
the sectionaiism which has been large
part OF the capital of a certain class Of
politicians. ''Scurcely q vesiige,' they
saw, ''of the old sectional prejudice of
few years ago 10 now visible within their
ranks" The South and the West are
coming into fraternal relation. 'The
demagogue politician who now attempts
to array sectional prejudice in order that
he may keep farmer equally divided on
important questions, 10 admonished that
he 10 about to confront "a superior In
selliReuce that will soon convince him
that his occupation l. gone. - The farm
era movement IL not. probably, the
deluge, but IL will prove 60 be something
OF q shower-in some quarters q cyclone
and Il will clear the atmosphere.
