He Kills Two Regulators Who Were Beat
ing His Father.
DoNIPHAN, Mo-, April 16.-Particu-
lars have reached here to-day of trag-
edy in which two men lost their lives
on Saturday night, near Warm Springs,
Randolph County. Ark, about twenty
miles southwest of here. For two or
three years a small band of Ku-Klux
regulators has existed in that neighbor-
hood, and their mission appears to have
been to intimidate and whip citizens
who were not in sympathy with them.
and who opposed their lawless methods
of wreaking vengeance. Some six
months ago a man named Holland
was whipped, but this did not
silence him. and Saturday night
four of the regulators, headed by
Ed Gillian, Jr., and Alex Gatewood,
two rough characters went to Hollands
house. took him from his bed and were
beating him numerically, when Hol-
lands fourteen-year-olds son took hand
in the melee, armed with a double.
barreled shotgun. The first shot the
boy fred killed Gillian. Gatewood then
attempted to shoot the boy, but his gun
snapped and before he could recock the
boy emptied the other barrel of his gun
into Gatewood and killed him. The re-
naming man then ran to where fourth
man was holding the horses of the
crowd and the two escaped. Up to last
accounts the boy had not been arrested.

GIRL LIFE IN INDIA.
An Existence Miserable rs to he Be-
yOnd Our Comprehension.


On the day of her marriage. the East
Indian girl is put into a palanquin. shut
up tight. and carried to her husbands
house. Hitherto she has been the spoil
ed pet of her mother: now she is to be
the little slave of her mother-in-law,
upon whom she is to wait, whose COM
mands she is implicitly to obey. and
who teaches her what she is to do to
please her husband-what dishes he
likes best and how to cook them.
If the mother-in-law is kind, she will
let the girl go home occasionally to visit
her mother. OF her husband she sees
little or nothing. She is of no more ac-
count to him than little cat or dog
would be. There is seldom or never any
love between them, and. no matter how
cruelty she may be treated. she can
never complain to her husband of any
thing his mother may do, for he would
never take his wife's part.
Her husband sends to her daily the
portion of food that is to be cooked for
her, himself and the children. When
it is prepared, she places it on one large
brass platter, and it is sent to her hus-
bands room. He eats what he wishes,
and then the platter is sent back with
what is left for her and her children.
They sit together on the ground and eat
the remainder. having neither knives,
forks. nor spoons.
While she is young. she is never al
lowed to go anywhere. The little girls
are married as young as three years of age
and, should the boy to whom such child
is married die the next day. She is called
q widow. and is from hencefOrth doomed
to perpetual widowhood: she can never
marry again. As a widow, she must
never wear any jewelry. never dress her
hair. never sleep on bed-nothing but
piece of mating spread on the hard
brick floor, and sometimes, in fact, not
even that between her and the cold
bricks: and. no matter how cold tho
night might be. she must have no other
covering than the thin garment she has
worn during the day.
She must eat but one meal a day, and
that of the cOarSest kind of food, and
once in two weeks she must fast twenty
four hours: then not a Bit of food nor a
drop of water or medicine must pass her
lips, not even if she were dying. She
must never sit down nor speak in the
presence of her mother-in-law, unless
commanded to do so. Her food must be
cooked and eaten apart from the other
women's She is disgraced and de-
graded woman. She may never even
look on at any of the marriage cere-
monies or festivals. 1t would be an evil
omen for her TO do SO.
She may have been high-caste
Brahminic woman. but on her becoming
. widow, any, even the lowest servants
may order her to do what they do not
like to do. No woman in the house
must ever speak one word of love or pity
to her. for it is supposed that if woman
shows the slightest commiseration to a
widow she will Immediately become .
widow herself.-N. Y. Ledger

THE VALUE OF ALASKA.
Whist tho Opening of the New Country
Means to Americans.

Whist tho Opening of the New Country
Means to Americans.
Americans are just beginning to learn
something of the value of Alaska. Fur
seals and icebergs are not its only pro-
ductions. The gold mines are valuable.
though they have not developed as rich
ly as was expected, but it seems that
the fisheries will outrank all other in
dustries of Importance, not excepting
gold-mining and seal-taking.. 1t is now
known that the rivers of Alaska are fill
ed with the finest salmon. The guam
titles are SO vast that constant capture
can not diminish them. On the small
island Americans have invested a capi-
tai of 1000, 900 and take and cure 81. .OOO,
900 worth of salmon annually. Sim
liar establishments are found in other
parts of Alaska, and it is said that there
is enough salmon in the Territory to
supply the world for generations.
Travellers have recently been pouring
into Alaska, and they say that in the
southern part of the Territory vast re-
gions are habitable. that the climate is
tolerable. the soil fertile. and that the
conditions upon which the comfort of man
depends are better than in many northern
countries of Europe which possess con-
siderable population. We must allow
something for travellers tales. but it is
nevertheless fact that the climate on
our Pacific coast is much warmer than
that of the Atlantic of the same lati-
tude.
While it is not probable that Alaska
will ever receive more than slight immi-
grafton. at least, not until the world is
crowded, if that day ever arrives, that
country may become, nOtwithstand-
ing the lack Of people, an important
source of supply. For fish and furs it will
be unrivalled. and these are two cOmmO-
dities very important to the civilized
world. What it's mineral wealth is no
one can tell. 1t may possess more gold
than ever Australia or California had,
but that is for the future. We only
speak Of the treasures already revealed.
There can be no longer any doubt of
the great value of Alaska. Secretary

habeas corpus case wa!

gust, to prevent him from killing JUS
tice Field. After the shooting Neagle
was arrested at Stockton, Cal, by the
State officers, but was released on a
writ of habeas corpus, based on the
ground that Neagle, who was acting un-
der instructions. had merely performed
his duty as an officer of the United
States. The case came before the Su-
preme Court here OIL an appeal from this
order.
The opinion Of the court was deliv-
cred by Justice Miller. 1t states that
the evidence before the Circuit Court in
the habeas corpus case produced the
conviction of settled purpose on the
part Of Terry and his wife, amounting
to conspiracy to murder Justice Field,
and adds that if Neagle had been a
friend of Justice Field travelling with
him, and aware of the previous rela-
tions of Terry to the Judge-as he was
-he would have been justified in what
he did in defense of Fields life and
possibly of his own. After long dis
cussiOn Of the questions of law and fact
involved in the case, the opinion con-
cludes as follows:
The result to which we have arrived upon
this examination that in the protection OF
the person and the life of Mr.. Justice Field
while In the discharge of his official duties,
Neagle was authorized to resist the attack
OF Terry upon that eminent judicial officer.
That he was justified in the belief that with.
out instant action on his part the assault Of
Terry upon the Judge would have ended in
the death of the latter. That such being his
well-fOunded belief. he was justified in tax.
ing the life of Terry as the only means OF
preventing the death Of the rnan who was
intended to be his victim. That in taking
tho life of Terry under the circum.
stances, he was acting under the authority
of the law of the United States, and was
justified in so doing, and that be is not liza
BILE to answer for murder to the courts OF
California on account of his part in the
transaction. We therefore affirm the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court authorizing his
discharge from the custody OF the sheriff Of
San joaquin County.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice La
mar dissented from the decision. JUS
tice Field did not take any part in the
decision.

"fOr The further purpose OF inducing thg
farmers of the country to believe that they
can and will derive some benefit from the

products which il is we'll known could not
