HIS BRAINS SCATTERED.
Frightfu1 Assassination of Form
Mnnnshiner in AInh.ma

Frightful Assassination of Former
Moonshiner in Alabama.
The Attorney General of the United States
has been furnished with the details of a
miserable assassination in Cleburne Coun-
ty, Ala. Lafayette Anderson, former
Illicit distiller. but latterJy an important
witness against them, was assassin ated at
his home, near Edwardsville, Cleburne
County. Wednesday night. He was sitting
at supper with his wife and children when a
donble-barreled shotgun, in the hands of an
unknown person, was thrust through the
window and two loads of buckshot poured
into Anderson's head. His brains spattered
all over the table and his head fell into the
plate, and soon the platter out of which he
had been eating was filled with his blood.
His wife and children were unhurt, but the
terrible fright threw them into con-
vulsions and rendered them powerless TO
rush out and give the alarm. BY the time
the neighbors had heard of the murder the
assassin or assassns had made secure their
retreat. 1t is not known who did the fear
full deed. 1t is wrapped in an obscurity as
dark as night itself Last September La
fayette Anderson was arrested on the
charges Of Illicit distiliing and perjury. He
was put III jefferson County Jail. and there
remained until the latter part of October.
when, upon the certificate of DR.. A. n Bal
lard OF Birmingham that he was weak
minded and siekly, his bond was reduced by
Commissioner Hunter and he was allowed
TO return home.
In the meantime it was ascertained that
Anderson knew good deal about illicit dis
tlllers and their doings in Cleburne County.
He was frequently summoned before Com
missioner Hunter. and gave testimony
against many of his former confreres. This
did not make any friends for poor Ander-
son. This, in TACT, is the theory to the cause
of his death. He was assaSsinate by moon
shiners.-Cncinnati Enquirer.

FOREIGN SYNDICATES.

The profit to be derived from the manufac-
ture of beet sugar In California, and the
wise provisions made by Government for
fostering this industry in the United States
are attracting considerable attention abroad
as well as at home. Already two
English syndieates are instituting inquiries
in Southern California with New to estab-
fishing factories there and obtaining for
their enterprise slice of Uncle Sans
bounty. and it is possible that the near
future will see liberal investment of for
eign capital in this business in San Diego
and Los Angeles counties. The farmers
down that way are also doing some talking
about establishing cooperative factories.
Que joint stock company for that purpose is
already organized, but for some reason or

a Grocer Arrested for Evading the Tax
on Oleomargarine.
Another arrest was made yesterday for a
violation of the revenues relating to the sale
of oleomargarine. This time it is Henry
Wike who falls into the meshes of the law.
Wllke is the proprietor of a grocery on the
southwest corner of Broadway and Hyde
street, and it is alleged that he has been
selling butterine over his counters without
having fortified himself with license to
show he has paid the special tax imposed by
the Government. The arrest was made by
Deputy United States Marshal Woods.
Wilke furnished the $500 bail required.
The first arrest was made about week
ago, when c. L. Morrisey was taken into
custody for not properly marking the oleo-
margarine he is said to have sold. Special
Agent Eldridge intends to tax Morrsey $3.50
for wholesalers license, as he is known to
now holds a retailers license.

for themselves the benefits of this new bust

MARINE.

The water in the great lakes is now
from foot to foot and half lower
than at any time during the last 90 years.
Two weeks ago the water in the harbor
at this place was almost foot lower than
it was last May. The Marine Review is
of the opinion that this low stage OF
water is only temporary. 1t acknowl.
edges that owners of large vessels have
suffered heavy losses on account of beng
compelled to carry short cargoes, but it
confidently looks for an improvement of
conditions.
TIE steam barge built by Burger &
Burger for Manistee parties, was launch

The weather report, as prepared by
Miss Lueps for Manitowoc and publish
ed in the repor. of Observer w. Z. Moore.
for the month of September is as follows:
Highest temperature 10th and 18th, 81
degrees. Lowest 5th, SO degrees. Mean
temperature for the month. GA degrees.
No. of Cloudless days "a; Part Cloudy, g.:
Cloudy, 0; Rainy 5; Thunder storms, d;
Precipitation, &c inches, Pre- railing wind
south. The mean temperature through
out the state was 80 degrees, the average
rainfall 1.21 inches, cloudless days, II,
rainy 4, and prevailing winds s. W. Mr..
Moore says there are now throughout
the state seventy three volunteer observ-
ers, and he speaks highly of their eff
cheney.
The average temperature throughout
the state was six degrees above the aver
age. There was not day from the 10Th
to the 25th inclusive that the tempera-
ture did not equal or exceed 80 degrees.
No such degree of heat has prevailed for
that length of time in 20 years. 1t was
due to high pressure IN the south east
ern part of the country which drove the
warm air of the Gulf up the Mississippi
valley. The deficiency in rain fall was
from to 5 inches below the normal in
certain counties one of which is Manito-
woe.
