The Illinois horse doctors, in session at
Chicago last week, settled an important
point of professional etiquette by enacting
that no one OF their profession shall fur
nish news, information or prescriptions to
the press. As many of the veterinary ex-
perts have heretofore been employed in ed
iting and preparing veterinary columns in
the agricultural and weekly newspapers,
the care for the health of live stock ind ca
ted by this action, resolves itself into a
boomerang for the horse and cattle doctors.

ADelighrfuI Wedding Custom.
"A little before 9 o'clock on Sabbath
morning the footing of a solemn horn or
the measured and funereal beating of a drum
summoned the faithful to the meeting
house. Slowly and sedately they wended
their way across the meadows, those living
at distance riding on their farm horses,
with their wives on pillion behind the sad
die. More fancifuly dressed the women
were than fits our notion of the Puritans-
with ribbons and colors and great hats.
against which sober church councils legis-
lated in vain. One delightful custom made
it "the thing" for the new bride and her
young husband, upon their first appearance
in church after their wedding, to wear their
wedding inery, and in the midst of the SER
mon to rise in their plac and circle slowly
about, affording the gratified congregation a
view from every side.

LONDON, Sept. IA Shanghai dis
patch says that the Chinese situation

thought significant by foreign residents
that commission of leading officers of
the Chinese army has been ordered to
proceed to Europe to study the English
army rifle and compare it with the
Austrian manlicher; to choose the su-
perior weapon, and order a supply of
100000, tine delivery to begin within
three months. As China already pos
sesses $4,000 rifles of the English type,
it is thought that the choice of the
English model is probable. Meantime
the Chinese government continues to
follow policy of delay, as if
waiting for the time when the
army may be in condition to
resist any ordinary assault OH the part
of Europeans. Much Indignation has
been aroused among the foreigners at
Shanghai by the discovery that, in all
probability, none of the actual rioters
were executed. 1t is not infrequent in
China when desired to spare the life of
a condemned criminal, and at the same
time give a public example, to have
some other criminal substituted for the
supposed victim and duly beheaded.
AS the crowd is kept at distance dur

vent the deception, if the authorities
are willing. 1t is claimed that in the

condemned for attacking the mission

GRAFTON, n. D., Sept. 17.-Henry
Ladde, who shot and stabbed Jesse
Gallagher yesterday near Mimic, was
brought TO Grafton. last night and
lodged in the county Jail. The follow
Ing is ladies story of the affair:
He was stacking wheat for Gallagher,
and Gallagher was pitching bundles to
him. The bundles came too fast. and
Ladde demonstrated, saying he could
not take care of them. Gallagher told
him he had pitched all his life, and that
he would pitch as he thought best. and
so continued to pile up the bundles
quite freely. Ladde got off the stack
and said he would quit. 1t was then IL
o'clock, and he went to his room over
the granary to change his clothes.
Shortly afterward Gallagher followed
him in, nOtin the best of humor. Ladde
claimed Gallagher owed HIM S7.75 for
two and half days at IS per day. Gal
lagher. however, claimed to owe him
81, which Ladde refused, saying he
would not quarrel over it, but would
leave. He afterwards said he would
stop to dinner.
The men then went down stairs to the
ground. Still talking loudly, Gallagher
picked up a plank and came toward
Iadde, as if to strike him. At this
Ladde pulled a revolver from the pocket
of his coat and shot Gallagher, Just as
the board struck his arm, the ball enter
ing Gallagher's forehead, though not
stunning him. He Immediately grabbed
Ladde by the throat, when Ladde pulled
dirk from sheath under his coat and
plunged it into his victims bowels. just
above the lower rib. Gallagher dropped,
and as the men came up from the field,
Ladde grabbed an ak and stationed
himself near a wood pile, where he
stood his ground until the arrival of the
marshal.
Laddie is sixty-two years old and was
born in Pennsylvania, but came here
from Wisconsin four weeks ago. lie
says the reason he had the dirk and re.
volver is that he was employed to watch
pine land in Wisconsin and had made
some bad enemies there. Nothing is

Spain Raising Money for Those
Ruined by the Flood.

MADRID, Sept. 1.-THE municipal
authorities of Almeria, capital of the
province of that name, estimate that it
will require 100000 psetas to repair
the streets and buildings damaged by
the recent floods. There was a~renewal
yesterday evening of the storms and
floods in the province of Toledo, and
more damage has been done. The In
fanta Isabella, the young king of Spain
and Don Francis d'Assise have each sent
$1,000 psetas to the national fund being
raised for the relief of the sufferers.
The queen regent has given an addi-
tiOnal sum of $4,000 towards the ma
tional fund being collected for the flood
sufferers. The queen regent was de-
sirOus of personally visiting the ruined
town of Consuegra, but she was dis
shaded from so doing at the present
time by her ministers. The latter rep
resented to the queen that it would be
extremely difficult for her to reach

to these representations, but insists

LAREDO, Tex, Sept. l7.-Last night
while pazas in this city in Neva La

party unknown distributed among the

called "a Plan of Revolution" 1t Sc t
forth that Mexico was i'll the tolls

mixed up in politics on this side of the

the circular referred TO, Il man named
Benzonia, foreman Of Garcia's paper,
was arrested OH the plaza here, as he is

discredited here by all people who

KING MUST HANG.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 17.-Unless the SUI

half, Col. ii. Clay King will be hanged
in this city OH Nov. g next for the muir
der of David II. Poster March 10 last.
The chapJer in the life Of Col. King, SO
far as the criminal court of Shelby
county is concerned, was closed to-day,
when Judge j. J. Dubose, of the crmi-
nal court, after lengthy opinion, said:
Let the motion be OYerrulcd." The
crime for which Ii. Clay King stands
convicted is too fresh in the minds
of the people to need rehearsing in
detail. Between 10 and IL O'Clock on
the morning Of the 10th of March Col.
King stepped from doorway on Main
street opposite Court square and shot
down Lawyer David ii. PostOn, who
was hurrying to the court house Oh inn
portant business. He died a few hours
later. King at once gave himself up
and was committed to Jail without bail
and trial. A few months thereafter in
a trial lasting thirty-twO days, the long
est and most celebrated criminal trial
III the history of the county, the jury,
after two days elaboration, brought IN
verdict of murder. A new trial was
applied for and this morning Judge
Dubose delivered his opinion, oVerrul-
ing the motion.
Every exception in the prisoners be-
half was overruled. There was brief
pause and a death-like silence for more
than minute after the judge had fin
ished King sat perfectly stolid. Judge
Greer arose and i'll few words said the
prisoner excepted to the judgment of
the court in OYerruling the motion.
Thare was another pause of minute,
when Judge DubOSe, looking up from
the manuscript he had been arranging,
said, LET the prisoner come forward"
Instantly Col. King rose from his
chair, and. with nervous step but fixed
and immovable countenance, stepped Il
few PAGES toward the bench and looked
straight at the court. In distinct
voice the judge in effect said:
1T is the judgment Of this court that
you, H. Clay King, shall be committed
TO the county Jail and there safely be
kept by the sheriff until the 9th day of
November, 1891, when, between the
hours of 10 a. III. and p. m, the sheriff
Shall. within the Jail or an Enclosure
adjacent to the jail, take you to gal
lows therein constructed and hang you
by the neck until you are dead"
The prisoner stood as statue
through the dread ordeal, and when the
court had finished he turned on his heel
and walked firmly back to his chair.
Mai. Weatherford then arose and said
to the court that an appeal would be
taken to the supreme court. Col. King,
between two deputies, was taken back
10 jail, and the crowd, which thrOnged
the court room, passed out into the
bright sunshine.

DeYoung Says California Wants a
Cabinet Place.


WASHINGTON, Sept. I'm. H. De-
Young. editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, and a member of the Nation
al Republican executive committee, ar
rived here last night from New York,
in company with Gen. Clarkson. To a
Post reporter, Mr. De Young said: THE
executive committee will shortly call a
meeting of the National committee,
which Will determine the time and
place of holding our National conven-
ton. The convention will be held
within six months of the meeting of the
National committee, so as to avoid the
extreme summer heat which worried
US so badly last time at Chicago. The
committee will doubtless convene here
in November, so the convention
Will take place some time
during the month of May, 1892.
l have been often quoted In the papers
OF the country as saying that California
was for this man for president, or the
other. Such stories nave been manu-
featured from the cloth in its entirety.
No declaration of our preference has
been given out. At the right time we
will speak, but, first OF all, there must
be distinct understanding on the mat
ter. California insists on and means to
have one member of the cabinet. When
the present one was constructed we
hoped for the recognition we were en-
titled to. but were ignored. There will
be a vacancy soon, but 1 can't tell
whether one of our citizens will be
selected. In 1892 there will be an ex-
plicit understanding that the Pacific
coast is not to be diSregarded. My
country Is a peculiar section that has
Glg--
the rest of the country. No Eastern
man can understand our wants, and
hence we will insist on direct repre-
SentatiOn."
