kill ng Of WilIiam Lindsay, of CASTOR coun-
", n. c., by George NJ. Collier, young
map, have been received. The killing seems
to have been justifaole. II appears that
Lindsay, who was man Of very little char.
acter, went to neighbours residence and
grossly iusul!ed the lady of the house. The
lady picked up big stick and ran him out
OF the house The ecoundrel then went
over to Golfers house, and rs there was no
one at home but MrF. Collier he offered the
same insult to that lady. Mrs. Collier
screamed for help end some one ran off for
her husband. Before Collier reached home,
however, Lindsay had left aud gone. Col
Iier go. hs pistol and went off 10 look for
Lindsay and found him sitting Oh barrel
ir store in the neighborhood. Without
any parleyiog Collier pulled cut his pistol
and shot Lindsay twice in the breast before
be could rise from the barrel. Before the
third shot was fred Lindsay got up ex-
claiming, 'Oh, my God," aud started out,
when Collier shot him twice more snd be
fell. Collier then went close up to him and
shot the last shot he had into his body.
Collier is now in Jail.

JACKSON ITEMS.
JACKSON JAKE.1

Wheat, rye, oats and barley are look
ing fine.
We have had several fine rains the
past week.
Grain is getting SO heavy that it is
pushing the roots down in the ground.
We are afraid of the result.
Barley is long enough to bind Oh
this side this year which it has not
been for the past five years.
Mr.. James Burns and family left
for Hutchinson last week where they
intend making their future home.
Mr.. Julius Westphal bought the
property of Mr.. James Burns, which
he intends to move on his place.
Mr. Wogen Jensen purchased a
Deering binder with which he intends
to cut 200 acres Of grain.
A dance was had at the resi-
dence of Peter Fox last Friday night
IN honor of his mothers birth day.
An enjoyable time was had by all
present, after dancing until daylight
the ladies were escorted to their respec-
tive homes by the young men OF the
neighbOrho0d.
A certain young man of this town
ship says he would like to correspond
with some young lady now as he is
well fixed. He has got coffee mill
and a broom. We advise the young
man to take one of Doctor Prices liver
pills and wait until he can buy baby
carriage and cradle, then proceed.

11R.PAYsoN.s ADHESION.

Mr.. Payson is republican member
of Congress from Illinois. He repre-
sents an agricultural people whose in
terests are opposed to monopoly prices
whether promoted by the artifice of
protection or the single gold standard
as the basis of American money. He
found the Republican caucus silver
bill to be unsatisfactory in treating
silver as a comOdity instead of an in
tegral part of the monetary system of
the country. He said that he is op-
posed to this discrimination, and that
his constituents are opposed to it..
But Mr.. Payson is Republican, and
he voted for the caucus silver bill Just
the same.
Mr.. Payson ought to sooth his con-
science and justify himself before the
people in this inconsistent course by
declaring that he had positive assur-
ances that the bill would be amended
in the Senate to comport with the views
held by himself and his constituents.
When some impertinent Democrats
suggested that he might be mistaken
in this, and that the Republicans
might be controlled as he (PaySon) was,
he replied: but they can not be;
there is no previous question and no
special order there" What he meant
was that he did not believe the caucus
had the same supreme power in the
Senate, that the party machinery was
not in such good working order, and
that the Senate had no ''boss'' like Mr..
Tom Reed to discipline refractory mem
bers of the party, to count majOrities
or fn rofrfcn 70 S0rifiaa
igency may require, and otherwise to
enforce party mandates and railroad
party measures through the House
without regard to protests.
What humiliating admission for a
member of Congress to make! If the
statement had been made in a manly
way for the purpose of defying the
caucus, and if MIR. Payson had follow
ed it by voting against the bill which
neither he nor his constituents approx
ed, he would have acquired some claim
| to respect. But he confessed in the
most abject way for himself, and many
of his colleagues that they have sub
mitted supinely to party dictation and
have pledged their faith to stand by
their party organization in any and
every measure which the party caucus
may outline. Mr.. Butterworth of
Ohio made substantially the same con-
fession when he voted for the McKin-
ley bill after declaring himself opposed
to it, and many other Republicans In
the House are in the same attitude of
submission though they have refrained
from openly proclaiming it.
It is hoped for the credit of Ameri-
can citizenship, that ''the gentleman
at the other end of the Capitol'' may
develop more independence and self
respect. If they do not, it may be
| assumed that the Republican poll
ticians have agreed upon a final and
desperate struggle for party supremacy,
| which will be none the less humiliat-
ing because it viii prove to be futile.
No party can continue to control the
destinies of this country which at
tempts to drag the car of Juggernaut
over all who cry out against its abuses.
