Murder Brought to Light.

DENVER, Col, March 3l.-Last De-
cember the body of girl, supposed to
be that of Edna Williamson, was
found buried in hut of the Eros
ranch, in the Big Horn basin. The
coroner, while Investigating the mat
ter last week, discovered two more
bodies, one that of a white man and
an Indian woman buried within
a few feet of where the girl was found
and the three had been murdered,
their beads being crushed with an
axe. They had evidently been dead
a year. The mystery is beyond solu-
ton by the authorities.

DEATH has entered the lists as
arbitrator and cut short the unseemly
controversy over Judge Sabin's phys
ical ability to continue in the dis
charge of his duties as Judge of the
Eastern Texas district. His death
was due to heart failure. The Judge
had been a resident Of Texas about
thirty-five years, and of Galveston
about nineteen years, holding his
position as judge of the district by
appointment under President Arthur
since 1884. Judge Sabin was widely
known throughout Texas and COM
manded the respect of all clsseas.
His death was not wholly uneXpec-
ted, as his health has been very
feeble for the past year, incapacitating
him for protracted sittings on the
bench. His wife whom he married
nearly forty years ago survives him.

0ver-Exercise Causes Heart Disease.

wv A~CANAoO NoNoOo &4CdAb Dloodbc.
In all physical exercise it is the
heart that is most directly affected,
and il is OF that organ that the con-
sequences of muscular exertion are
most telling. The tendency, when
exercise is persisted in, is for the
heart to increase in size, and in ev-
cry athlete il becomes much larger
than in the ordinary man. Consid-
er then what the result must be
when the tyro begins to take vio-
lent exercise with ut long-contin-
ued previous training suitable to
adapt the heart to its changed con-
ditiOns. Organic weakness is sure
to ensue, and the ultimate result, if
the severe exercise is continued, is
likely TO prove disastrous DR..
Patton, chief surgeon of the SOL
diers' Home, at Dayton, said the
other day that, Of the 5, 1000 soldiers
in the Dayton Home, "fully 80 per
cent are suffering from heart disease
in one form or another, due to the
forced physical exertion of their
campaigns" And he made the pre-
diction that as large a percentage of
the athletes of to-day will be found
twenty-five years from now TO be
the victims of heart disease, result
ing from the muscular strains that
they undergo.
AS for tho likelihood of exercise
to prolong life, it may be said that
according to the statistics of M. de
Solaiville there are more people liv-
ing in France to-day who have pass
ed the age of sixty than there are in
England, the home of athletic sports.
And there is probably no nation in
Europe more averse to muscular
cultivation for its own sake than the
French. Great athletes die young,
and a list of Oxford rowing men
published a few years ago showed
that a comparatively small per-
centage of them lived out the allot-
ted lifetime. DIR. Jastrow has de-
monstrated that men of thought live
on an average three and half years
longer than men in the ordinary
vocations of life, and nearly eight |
years longer than men of action;
among whom are included the
athletes. And it is a noteworthy |
fact that women, who until recent
years have taken no physical exer-
else at all, die at a more advanced
age than men. But doubtless their
in regard to tenure of
life will come to an end if they fol-
low the advice of DR.. Richardson,
who, in lecture before the Ladies'
Association OF London, is
to have declared it essen
tial, as a matter of principle, that
eight hours day should be devot-
ed to exercise. IN Y. Star.

Poorly Paid Ciergymen.

Very few preachers ever succeed in
making money. When they do the
religion generally oozes out as the dol
lars come in, and they end by giving
up ministerial work altogether. Meth
odist preachers, particularly, are poor,
and next to them in poverty are Bap-
fists. The majority of Methodist
preachers in this country receive less
than $500 year, while the constant
demands for charity greatly diminish
their incomes. Presbyterian clergy
men are better paid, while church of
England ministers, both here and in
Great Britain, roll in wealth by COM
parison.
Bishops Of the Methodist church
south have $500 salary. Those of
the church north have a little more,
but none of them lays by anything.
Bishop Warren, of the church north,
is rich, having married the widow of
q ranchman in Denver. But bishop
Hendrix of the Methodist church south
enjoys the distinction of being the
richest bishop in America, having in
herited fortune which by careful
he has greatly increased.

olent. All the other southern Metho-

The History of Mississippi.

Our townsman, Mr.. Martin, kindly
permits the Rcveille to publish the fo'-
lowing letter, which deals with a mat
ter Of general interest. We suggest
that those of our older citizens, who
may have knowledge Of facts bearing
on tho early history of the county,
should write at once to Gen. Lowry or
Maj. McCardle. Such cooperation
would bring to light many interesting
bits Of history, and greatly assist these
gentlemen in this patriotic work.

MY DEAR SIR:-It may be known
to you that Col. VIM. III. McCardle and
myself are engaged in preparing the
"Ilistory of Mississippi from its set
Element by the French to the death of
Jefferson Davis In order to make II
what ii should be we are compelled t.
appeal to our friends in the various
counties TO furnish us with material
that will be literally invaluable in our
proposed work. Ii is our desire to
rescue from oblivion the names and
memory Of as noble n race Of men ana
women as have ever adorned the an
mails Of any country. For this purpose
we ask that you furnish us the names
of the early settlers of youi county
the men who founded settlements-in
what was then a wilderness. beg
that you give me also the names Of the
towns, railroads and streams IN the
county.
Awaiting your reply for which /
now thank you, am

The Wind and Stream.

A brook came stealing from she ground;
You scarcely saw its silvery gleam
Among the herbs that hung around
The borders Of the winding stream,
The pretty stream, the placid stream,
The softly-gliding, bashful stream.
A breeze came wandering from ths sky,
Light as the whispers Of a dream
He put the o'erhAnging grasses BY,
And softly stopped to kiss the stream,
Tho pretty stream, the fattered stream,
The shy, yet unreluctant stream.
The water, as the wind passed DER,
Shot upward many glancing beam.
Dimpled and quivered more and more,
And tripped along livener stream,
The hattered stream, the simpering stream,
The fond, delighted, silly stream.
Away the airy wAnderer flow
To where the fields with blossoms TEEN;
To sparkling springs and rivers blue,
And left alone that little stream,
The fattered stream, the cheated stream,
The sad, forssken, lonely stream.
That careless wind came never back;
He wanders yet the fields, I deem,
But, on Its melancholy track,
Complaining went that little stream,
The cheated stream, the hopeless stream,
The eyer-murmuring, mourning stream.

Mr.. NOll deserves a vote of thanks for
having afforded so much pleasure, as

TO appreciate more fully this de-
lightful branch of art.
TO Dir. and Mrs. Person and their
charming daughters, too many thanks
cannot be given, tor the delightful
manner in which they entertained the
guests.
The managers hope that every one
will help TO make their undertaking a
success. They are certain there arc
many in p. q. who can afford both
pleasure and instruction by lecturing
or reading; others who have large
halls can help by throwing open thcic
houses TO them, with the assurance that
their hospitality will be appreciated.

The County School Book Adoptions.

The teachers and school officers have
adopted, in the past, the most popular
and meritorious school books publish
ed. The books in use are, with rare
exceptions, standard and improved, and
are in satisfactory use i'm the schools.
The pupils are supplied with them,and
they are paid for. Obviously they
ought to be retained. First, because,
according to the verdict of the teachs
ers, they are the BEST and second, be-
cause it will involve the least expendi-
ture.
According TO the state superintend-
ent's report there are 272,682 educable
children in the state. If each child
has only one dollars worth of books,
there are now in the hands of pupils
S272,6S2 worth of school books. To
change all these books would be to
cause our citizens to throw away over
quarter of a million dollars worth of
good books already paid for, and then
TO require them to expend another
quarter of million to replace them
with others. Amy intelligent person
can readily see that this large expen-
diturc can be saved by simply adopt
ing the books In use.
This would doubtless be done spon-
taneously and unanimously, but for
the interference of agents of publish
ing houses who are seeking to have
their books adopted to displaee those
in use.
AS an excuse for this action they
have adroitly set in motion the charge
that certain publishers have organized
a trust, hoping that the sentiment a.
gainst these combinations will help
them 10 foist their books on the peo-
pic. The special object of these at-
tacks seems to be the American Book
Company, for the reason we presume
that this company publishes large
number OF the books now in use in
tho Mississippi schools.
AS the result of an investigation in
quarters where the facts are known,
we have found that the American
Book Company Is duly Incorporated
aud straightforward business enter
prise, Is not trust or trustee for 9th
err parties, but owns outright its
plants and copyrights, and publishes
