Il Results In the Probable Murder OF One
of the Participants.

of the Participants.
MITCHELL, IND, August 22.-Henry Tows,
trustee Of Marion township, and his brother
Bud Towe, who was recently wounded in the
shooting affray on the train near Green
Castle, started from here yesterday 10 go
to the home Of Henry Towe, six miles
west Of this place. 1t has been thought for
some time that the enmity between the Toves
and Basses. which has been existing for two
years, would cause a murder before many days
passed. When the two brothers reached the
gate of Henry Towe' home some person hid
den behind the brush fired on lowe. The lat
ter at once drew his revolver to return IT, Five
or six shots were fired, Towe receiving wound
in the head which will probably result fatally.
II is not definitely known who was the hidden
assailant but Curt Bass has been arrested Much
excitement was occasioned here by the news Of
the shooting and il is feared by soms that .
mob will be organized by friends OF 1ows.

GEN. MILES DIsAPPRovKA
He Does Not Believe in Nationalized Militia
in This Country,

CHICAGO, August 22.-Gen. n. A. Miles, when
questioned in regard to the scheme to consoli-
date the state troops and place them under the
control Of the Secretary Of War, as outlined in
a dispatch from ST. Louis said: Il do not be-
heye in consolidating the state troops and
forming them into practically a standing army
of 100000 men and placing them under the
Such measure. in my opinion, would be ILL
advised and dangerous.
This statement is too absurd to be believed
After making a careful comparison of the
standing army of the United States with those
of other countries they had concluded something
must be done to dignity the militia forces of
this country. These officers are acting entirely
on their own responsibility or assurance and are
not warranted in taking this step. They are not
speaking under authority, but only expressing
their opinions"

DISTRESS IN RUSSIA
Almost Incredible Stories Of the Misery Of ths
Poor.

Poor.
LONDON, August 22.-The stories Of misery
received from Russia are almost incredible.
In Besarabia parents are actually offering
their children fo- sale in order to buy
food, and dealers at Constantinople. hear
ing of this have purchased through agents
in the Russian villages O considerable number
of female children. Many deaths have been
caused through famine. and iamiiies may bs
found actually peri-hing from hunger and hud-
ding together in their common misery The
stewards of crown lands aud forests have been
instructed TO allow the peasantry Tree pasture
and to freelygather mushrooms, which are
largely consumed among the lower classes OF
Russians, and TO gather wild frults IN the for
ests and woods of the state. This, however,
does not answer the demand for substantial
food The famine cripples also the finances of
Russia and it is believed that for thIs reason
there will be no war for many months.
The collection of state and local taxes in az
least twenty provinces will fall considerably
behind the usual amount Besides large sums
are required to prevent whole populstions
from perishing Of starvation. The govern
ment authorities being nov aroused, are ex-
erting themselves and the distribution OF relied
