Girl.

Macon, Mo-, Feb. 4.-There is
considerable excitement near Barns
vile, this county, over the myster-
ious death of Miss Emma Rachels,
who was found in her fathers we'll.
She was about Is years of age. The
manner of her death shocked the
whole community. An inquest was
held and the remains inferred, but
there being some irregularity about
the proceedings, the body was e1-
humed and q second coroner's jury
was summoned and further investi.
CATION made. The verdict was that
Miss Rachels had been murdered by
parties. She had many admirers
among the young gentlemen of that
neighborhood. It is now believed
that she was outraged and thrown
in the we'll. It was learned late this
evening that two or three Of the
young men of that neighborhood
have disappeared. Suspicion points
to them as theguilty parties.

Smith BEHEADED.
tanners Last Fav0rite Ended.
The Deputy Pension Commissioner Out
OF Situation.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-The
esfficid head of Hiram Smith OF Mis-
souri, first assistant commissioner
of pensions, who was one Of the re-
rated pension officials, fell into the
basket to-day.
About noon Smith received let
1er from Secretary Noble, which
briefly stated that his resignation,
received January %, had, by direc
tion of the president; been accepted.
TO take effect March 8. That was
all. He did not read the letter, for
ne knew what its contents were.
When he finally consented a few
days ago to resign, he knew his
hold on the Office was brief one.
The official career which has thus
come to close began in June last.
When Corporal Tanner resigned at
the pension Office, MIR. Smith had al
ready enjoyed the benefit of the new
administration, for . decision OF the
former administration had just been
reversed. Under that decision his
pension had been increased from
336 to $72 per month. and the
amount of the arrearages Of pension
was about $4,000. Mr.. Smiths case
.xas one Of ten affected by a decision
.znade by Corporal Tanner, changing
the rate of pension to soldier who
aas lost two limbs. He is minus a
leg and an arm.
Shortly after receiving his rerat-
sng Smith was appointed to the po-
sition of first deputy, and after Cor
poral Tanner retired, and before
General Raum came he was the act
ing commissioner and the autocrat
of the pension Office. In this posi-
ion he attracted considerable news
paper notice. When congress con-
vened his name was not sent to the
senate and so he has never been
confirmed.
Unlike the other rerated employees
Smith, however, when asked to re
sign, complied with the request. As
. result he gets months leave o1
absence with pay.

MR.. TARSNEY AS A WAC.
He Tells a Good Story Apropos OF Mr..
Reeds Ruling.

Tarsney, the new representative
in congress from Missouri, is prov
ing one of the greatest wags In the
house. He is fuller of stories, jokes
practical and oral-and general
wit and good humor than even his
brother, who was the last in the
house. He is a heavy set man. with
a big head and overhanging brows,
which give him serious expression.
He moves among the other members
a great deal, never staying long IN
one place. He stops for a moment
near a group of members and then
passes on with a solemn look and
manner, while the group is left in a
most mirthful mood. During the
hottest of the fight in the house, at
ter Mckinley had been quoting bad
precedents of the democrats, Tars-
ney walked up to a republican and
in a solemn and confidential man
ner said: II guess your speaker
must be right in his ruling. There
is precedent for it." 'What is it,"
asked the republican eagerly. why
said the Missouri member, sssome
years ago the Missouri legislature
had an able Irishman for speaker.
There was q measure that was very
popular with the speaker, but which
had little support on the floor. The
speaker was anxious to get II
through the assembly, and one day
got it up for a vote. All those in
favor of the bill will please say yes
when their names are called, he said
Half a dozen responded. Those
against it will say naw.' Nearly a
hundred men voted no. The ayes

several members appealed from the
dicislon of the chair. Its appeal ye

will put the question. All in favor
of appealiu' from the chair will sa,

sponded. Those opposed will say
naw.' About six men voted no. The
chair looked at the house for mo

char that there aren't two-thirds oi

Shot His Elder Brother,

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 5.-About G
O'Clock last night in Monmouth
township, nine miles southeast of
Topeka, Melville Beard probably
fatally wounded his bnother, Will
sam Beard, by emptying the con-
tents of a shotgun into his abdomen.
Melville Beard is 10 and the brother
shot is %.
Melville had been cuarreling with
- younger brother when William re-
quested him to stop. This angered
Melville and he walked to the house
and picked up double-barreled
shotgun, returned to within u few
feet of where his brother stood and
deliberately shot him. He then
walked away.
His little brother ran half mile to
n neighbor's to inform them of the
tragedy. The township constable,
IS. c. Hedrick, went to arrest the
young man, who stood some dis
Ssnce from the house, still holding
she shotgun. When the constab. e
approached Beard warned him away
4hreatened to shoot if he attempted
to make an arrest. As the constable
was unarmed, he could do nothing,
and it was only when the young
mans father arrived from the city,
an hour later, that he concluded te
surrender.
When asked why he shot hi.
