THAT SCHOOL TEACHER,
She Was quite A Literary Lady and
Delighted in Poetry.

The trunks, the property of Miss
Russell, the school teacher, adven-
turess and slick citizen generally, al
luded to yesterday, were looked into
last evening and nearly all the goods
gotten from the merchants were
found. M. A. Stratton found ali four
pairs of his fine shoes she had Sc
cured. They were beauties. Two
pairs of French kid street shoes and
two pairs of oxford slippers, different
styles, were about what she wanted,
and she would have had them if her
trunks had been shipped. They are
safe and sound, however, and STRAIT
ton is joyful. Hodgson 4 Mcguire
were also victimized by the woman
and their goods were also found in
the trunks. From the fancy tinted
paper and plush box she purchased
of owen d Moore, and never paid
for, it would appear that she is some.
what of a writer. In fact she told
several parties she was newspaper
reporter, and judging from the sta
tionery she must have represented
some high toned society journal.
This was likewise found in the
trunks bearing Owen q Moore's
stamp and will be returned to the
owners. The goods she got from n.
V. Gerhart & Sons were not found,
neither were DIR. RudoIph's false
teeth.
When the literary drawer of the
trunks was examined the first thing
that came to light was a copy of
Lord Alfred Tennyson's poems She
borrowed this book from Addie
Oldham, colored, aad left in too
great a hurry to return it. There
were also found four books in that
same trunk the property of Mrs.
Merry, cOlOred, and also great etfu-
sion of spring poetry. There were
many letters in the trunk also, and
they were addressed to several differ
ent parties, leaving the impression
that she was not only an adventures
of the first water but that she sailed
under false colors. The greater part
of the letters were addressed to Mrs.
Jno. Van Austen, Chicago, and if a
newspaper man could lie found with
cheek enough to go into them and
read them something rich no doubt
would be found.

Late Tobacco Planting This Year.

J. Mat Rudolph, one of the leading
tobacco raisers of the county, and
always an "early Bird" was in town
this morning and reports the early
SOW ing of tobacco plants just coming
up, and says the plants this season
are the best he ever knew. He has
taken the usual good care of bis
plants, fertilizing the bed, sowing
early and Canvassing and thinks now
his plants will not come in before
June, and will be small and tender
at that. This is in a neighbOrhood
where they always plant early and
raise fine tobacco, and nobody is
better off in that particular than Mr..
Rudolph. Some claimed to have
had plants up when the hard freeze
came some weeks ago, but if they did
the last one was killed, and only the
covered beds are showing any plants
now, and they are quite small, with
only two leaves. This situation
renders the next planting very unccr
tain. The long continued spring
rains indicate dry May and June,
and if this natural result follows, it
will be difficult to plant "A full crop or
make fine tobacco, as the late plant

FALSE PRETENSE.
An Interesting Case Before Squire
Caldwell.

w. f. Evans was arrested yester-
day and brought before Squire Cald-
well on charge of obtaining his note
for $50 under false pretense, and the
case was set for tomorrow. The cir.
cumstances are as follows: Evans
owed the Franklin Bank a note of
$50, with his mother as security.
Mrs. Evans had a certificate of de-
post in the same bank for $72, and
some cents, which she turned over
to her son to offset the note as far as
it would go. The note was given
out to Officer Mercer West for col
lection West called on Evans and
presented the note. Evans remarked
that he was not ready to settle it
and asked the officer to let him see
the note, which was handed him.
Evans put the note in his pocket
and gave West the certificate
and 81 in money. The Of
ficer replied that he was not
authorized to settle that way and de-
handed the return of the note, which
Evans refused to do, claiming that ii
was proper settlement. West find
ing himself at the end of the row,
could do nothing more, and returned
the certificate to the bank trustees,
Poindexter and Merritt, who author
lied the issuance of a writ, as above
stated. 1t becomes an interesting
question whether Evans has tn
right to off set the note with the Ger.
tifcate, and if not, then the question
of criminality in obtaining the note
in the way he did.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Two Clarksville Negroes Found Dead
At Bowling Green.

The report reached the city about
noon to-day that Eugene Dobson and
Randle Eaton, two GAINESVILLE ne
groes, had been found on the side of
the railroad track two miles south of
Memphis Junction with their heads
split open.
Eugene Dobson was negro who
came here from Paducah about three
weeks ago, and had been doing odd
jobs about the city since that time.
He was an industrious man, it is
said, and has a wife living here.
Eaton, the other negro, was from
Nashville and was recommended to
w. r. Bringhurst, by VIM.
Fisher, about month ago,
who employed him as a
waiter. The Franklin House guests
will remember him as the large vel
low man who has been in the dining
room about a month. He was a good
waiter and gave satisfaction to the
landlord and the guests.
The couple had secured employ
ment in Louisville and left here last
night on the 7 o'clock train for that
city. They purchased through tick
cts, expecting to arrive in Louisville
and go to work this morning.

the killing here the LEAF-CHRONI-

any particulars. An examination of

SUDDEN DEATH.
Hon. Geo w. Duval Found Dead in Hi
Bed at Princeton.

Special to the Leaf-Chroncle.
PRINCETON, KY, March b.
Hon. George w. Duval was found
dead in his room this morning, lying
upon the floor in pool OF blood,
where he had evidently fallen ard
bruised his face badly.
He has been drinking heavily for
some time past and had been
taking chloraI since last Friday
to sober up. Last night
he bought sixty grains Of chloraI
and very little Of it was found this
morning. 1t is the general supposi-
ton that he had taken portion OF
the drug, and becoming restless dur
ing the night, had gotten up to take
another dose.
Every indication goes to show that
he died from heart disease. There is
nothing to show suicidal intent, and
the coroner's jury rendered verdict
of death from heart failure, superin-
duced by an overdose of chloral.

THE DIRECT Ta X.
Senator Harris Discovers Some Inter
esting Facts.

The bill which passed Congress, re-
funding the direct tax collected from
the people on property has raised sew
eral questions wanting explanation.
One is how are those who have lost
their receipts, to make proof of the
claim; and then there was an income
tax collected also. The question is,
the income tax included also? This
we are not able to fully an
swer, but judge not, as the
income tax was a tax of so much
on all incomes over 81 600, while the
direct tax was levied on land and
other property just as any other tax.
This tax was paid out of the State
Treasury by many States, but in this
State Gov. BrownlOw levied the tax
and collected ii directly off of the
people. Senator Harris has been in
Vestigating the matter. A Washing
ton special to the Nashville Banner,
March 30, says: "Senator Harris to
day visited the Treasury Department
and made inquiries as to whether
there are records on file by which
parties who paid direct tax in a State
can be ascertained. He found the
records of the department very full
on the subject and that it will be en-
tirely practicable for States to return
money to people who paid it, if they

A ROASTING.
WYOmIns's Senators Get Straight Talk
From a Republican Source.

Magic City Record.I -
The Record last week took occasion to
remark in its report of the closing scenes
in the legislature hat the Republican
party needed some reorganization. and we
desire to reiterate that remark, with
much added emphasis. this week, the
emphasis being made necessary by the
late political developments at the national
capital.
In this connection we desire it plainly
understood that the Record is Repub-
hean and will always support the prin-
ciples of that party, unless the party is
being used to further the ambition of pri-
yate individuals, IN which case we shall
claim the exercise and right to object, and
lust now the time has arrived to exercise
that right.
If ever any two men were pledged to
their CONSTITUENCIES on any national issue
those two men are Senators Warren and
Carey on the question OF free coinage of
silver, aud any attempt BY either of them
to shift the responsibility OF their vote on
that important question on last Tuesday
must only result in causing the people to
believe that they are represented in the
United States senate by fools or knaves.
Fools If both did not know that the 'senti.
ment5 oil the entire people Of the state
they tmis represent, without regard to
party, was overwhelmingly aud unalter-
ably in favor of the passage OF the bill;
and knaves, ifknowinR this, they deliber-
ately trampled upon the will of the people
and voted against what they must have
known was aud must be the salvation of
their people from a financial point OF
view.
Let them take either horn OF the dilem
ma aud it is plain hat the tender of their
designations would be the most acceptable
official act they could perform at this
time.
Senator Warren is made to say in a re-
cent interview published in a Washington
paper. in which he attempts to explain
his vote, that he is for free coinage OF
American silver and talks a lot OF slush
about not wishing to make this the
dumping ground Of the world" think
ing in this way to pull the wool over the
eyes of his people, when almost every
schoolboy knows that the price of silver
in the United States controls the market
of the world. New York is the weather,
and the rest of the world is the barome-
ter so far as silver is concerned, and will
continue to be as long as three -fifths OF
the output of the world is dug from the
mountains of this country. Senator Ca
rey Is also explaining, and some of the
would-be Republican papers of the state,
who are not sure that they are alive, rave
been ~assiduously engaged in %apoiogizing
for these same men ever since they went
to Washington.
We say now that if We can't find men
in the party who are opponents of the
will of the people to n sufficient extent
that in three months service one single
act cannot be pointed out, of which the
party may be proud, that we ought TO
import some, and the sooner we do it the
longer will the Republican party exist in
Wyoming.
We may be insignificant" as one of our
esteemed contemporaries elegantly puts
it, but no one has any strings on us
