WOODS MURDERERs.
\ Letter from His Wife duplicating
IsrnmInenf Mon

Topeka, Kan, June 29.-Mrs. S.
\. Wood has written a letter to one OF
the newspapers here, giving an ac-
count of the murder of her husband at
Hugoton, Stevens county, last Tues
day Mrs. Woods version of the kill
ing comedies with other reliable re
ports in SO far as it shows that the at
tack upon her husband was made
while his back was turned and that all
of the wounds we're In his back and
side. Mrs. Wood gave long circum-
stantial account of the murder and
states that she has evidence in her
possession that the death of her hus-
band was the result OF Il conspiracy by
his enemies to get him out of the way.
She accuses Judge Botkins of the Stew
ems county district court against
whom Wood caused impeachment pro-
ceedings to be brought in the state
Legislature, and County Attorney
O'Connor. whose election Wood was
contesting in the state supreme court
with being the chief cOnspirators.
James Brennan the murderer, she
says. was only their willing tool. In
support of her theory Of tho eonspir-
acy Mrs. Wood cited the following in
cident: a little son of ex-Judge
Nash said in the presence of Mrs.
Fleming OF Ulysses as we drove into
town: There goes Sam Wood and
they're going to kill him to-day. A
girl quickly told him to keep sill;
that he was talking too much. In
conclusion Mrs. Wood says: i have
not the slightest hope that any
OF these murderers. whether in
official or unofficial stations. will
ever be brought 10 justice,
but do know and thank God that his
eternal justice never fails. l shall try
to be patient and strong. can only
hope that the time may fly swiftly and
that We shall not be sundered long

THERE is an old as well as new fash

fashion dictates some remarkable
changes in the Christian names o

is not always for the better. The de

The total population of India Is
given at 2S5, OOo, 600, or 90, 600, O0o
more than in 1881. Pesilence and
famine are not carrying 50 many of
as formerly Each hour 600 souls &c
into eternity from India and 800 are
brought into life. The opium trade
in that country, thanks to improved
notions of governmental morality and
responsibility is said to be doomed.
The British government will also need
to reform in the matter Of encouraging
the drink habit in India. Before the
British excise laws were instituted
the country was comparatively sober.

heather faiths discourage intemper-

posedly christian, alone promotes it.

As A rule in life there is but little OF
what IS called ''lucki" and, if the cases
Of individual success or failure in life
are carefully studied. it will be found
in most Of them that neither good nor
bad luck had anything to do with them,
but that intelligence. ambition. energy,
application. and courage made the sue
cessful man, and the lack of all OF
some Of these things was responsible
for the failure Of the unsuccessful one.

OUTRAGED NEGROES.
Great Distress Among Those who Have
Been Deluded to oklahoma.

ST.. Louis, March pa special from
Oklahoma City says: The race question is
assuminga serious phase in Oklahoma ter
ritOry, and the continued agitation which
the subject is raising. is more than likely
to result in Il collision between the whites
and blacks. When this territory was
thrown open to settlement, Il large num-
Der Of negroes settled in Guthrie, but
their coming excited no serious comment
During the last six weeks, however, the
negroes from the south have swarmcd in
to Oklahoma by the hundreds in response
to the inducements thrown out in gilt
tering prospectus which was scattered
broadcast in the communities thickly set
tied by the blacks.
The main mover in this grand colonial
tcn scheme is said to be Z. p. McCabc,
ex-auditov of the State Of Kansas, in con-
junction with two white men. One hun
drcd and sixty acres Of ground were
purchased nine miles north Of Guthrie,
and a mythical town laid out y glowing

invested their small saving in the ''promis
ed land"
A gentleman arriving from Guthrie this
evening describes the scene rs pitiful.
The negroes are leaving by hundreds and
in condition that is little worse than
destitute. They are cncamped about its
Santa Ec depot, and their sutterings from
the recent cold weather, in addition to the
pangs Of hunger, arc intense; but the
worst feature and the particular one that
has aroused the Guthrie newspapers to a
realization Of the situation is the fact that
the new arrivals have brought smallpox
with them. The people of Guthrie AT
first suppressed the fact that the disease
existed, for fear the town would be injured,
but since il is found that the smallpox is
spreading the newspapers have come out
and openly declared in favor of nstitu-
ting quarantine against the blacks.

ular pitched battle was fought by num-

participants is dead and three others and
a spectator are badly wounded.
When the men met all were armed with
Winchester rifles. But few words were
spoken when Garrett Southern and Hugh
Johnson, ii is said, opened fire on Moses
and. Shelby Gibson. Something like
twenty shots were fired before all the men
had fallen to the Garth, one dead and

not recover. Shelby Gibson was shot
through the leg. Garrett Southern was
shot through the arm, thigh and back.
His wounds are dangerous. \ by-stander
named John Owens was struck in the
breast by stray bullet and may die. The
fight grew out Of an old fucd between
Southern and Johnson on the one side
and the Gibson brothers en- the other.

Mcssrs. Clyde, Scott aid Swami, in their
visit to this immediate section, is the con-
solidation Of the South Atlantic q Ohio
railroad with the Bristol, Elzabethton
e. North Carolina road. They are
largely interested in the coal mines at Big
Stone Gap; in the South Atlantic & Ohio
railroad, in the Bristol Land Company and
in the Doe Mountain Iron Company, of
Johnson county. If they take hold of the
Bristol, Ellzabethton & North Carolina
railroad, the coal anu iron will be brought

of large steel ana ion plants and other
manufactures.
The gentlemen were highly pleased with
their property at Big Stone Gap. And
we'll they may be. If they will develop it
and put the road from Bristol to Big Stone
Gap in good condition, the coke and coal
can be poured into the South by shorter
haul than it takes to get the output of the
Pocahontas regions to market. There
are millions in it,
The gentlemen are more than pleased
with their trip so far. They were aston
ishcd at the coal developments at Big
Stone Gap in Wise county. One of them
said he believed there was more coal in
Wise county than there Ras ut Connclls
willie, Pa. Another answered that he
thought the company to which they be-
longed owned more than there was at Con-
