A BRUTEfS CRIME.
Bob HepIer Arrested for Butchering Ma
Goodly and Child.

Bob HepIer Arrested Tor Butche1ng HtrS-
Goodly and Child.
LAMAR, Mo-, Jan. 81. Yesterday af-
ternoon telegram came from Kenoma,
a station seven miles east, on the Kansas
City and Memphis railroad, announcing
that a woman had been killed there and
requesting the presence of an officer, but
Marshal Moran and Constable Wilson
started through the snow storm for
Kenoma. Arriving there shortly after
Z, they found mex of the name of
Robert Hepler under %rest and strongly
guarded for the committing of one of
the most atrocious crimes known in
Missouri.
Hepler had been drinking during the
day and about 4 o'clock went to the
house of Mrs Goodly, murdered that
lady and her youngest child, boy about
years old, and left for dead her daugh-
ter, aged years. Mrs. Goodly's head
was crushed with a heavy bottomed
chair, one arm and her jaw being broken.
He assaulted the girl with a heavy iron
poker, striking her. as he supposed, fatal
blows and left her lying across her
mothers Frustrated form. The little boy
came next and his head was crushed to
jelly,
Two of Mrs. Goodly's children were
absent from home at the time, and, re-
turning shortly after, found the bodies
as above described, and, hearing some
one in the second story of the house,
FASTENED to Kenoma, half mile distant,
and gave the alarm. Citizens were soon
upon the scene, but the murderer had
fled, after ritling drawers and boxes up
stairs, going directly to his own home, a
short distance from there. The little
girl showed signs of life and the boy was
still breathing when help arrived. The
girl, upon recovering consciousness,
stated that Hepler had committed the
deed, and an examination showed his
tracks leading from the Goodly residence
to that of his own.
Hepler was captured after a desperate
Struggle and was brought to Lamar and
lodged in Jail. The only motives known
for the commission of the crime are

has made threats against the Goodly
family. Hepler is about "a years of age
and has a wife and five children i'll des
titute circumstances. He denies his
guilt, and when accused of it used the
most violent and profane language. Joe
Goodly the husband and father was
reached by IA telegram at Cheyenne
while ON his way west with carload
of horses.
A telegram from Kenoma this
morning gives the pleasing intelligence
that the little girl is improving rapidly
and has given an intelligent account OF
the horrible affair, clearly fastening the
crime upon Hepler.
This evening Hepler attempted suicide
in the Jail by hanging himself with q
rope made out of blanket. He was
discovered by prisoners in an adjoining
cell who gave the alarm, and he was cut
down, but not until he had grown black
in the face. Sheriff Garrett, fearing
that summary vengeance would bt
visited upon Hepler took him to Nevada

Height of Cruelty.

Nervous women seldom receive the
sympathy they deserve. While often
the pictures of health, they are con
stantly ailing. To withhold sympathy
from these unfortunates is the height
of cruelty. They have a weak heart,
causing shortness of breath, futtering,
pain in side, weak and hungry spells,
and finally swelling of ankles, oppres-
sion, choking, smotheriug and dropsy.
Or. Miles New Heart Cure is Just the
thing for them. For their nervous
ness, headache, weakness, ETC., his

TEXAS As A PREsIDENT-MAKER.
If Texas viii, she may exercise a
strong, possibly controlling influence
in the next Democratic national con-
vention.
1t is now a predetermined fact that
large majority of the votes of the
Northern Democratic states viii be for
David Bennett Hill. Ordinarily this
would end the matter, but the Cleve-
land, anti-silver influences of the East
are counting upon the South to decline
to accept Hill, as a punishment of New
York for her failure to indorse Cleve-
land.
In such situation, the united vote Of
one large state may be decisive. Should
Texas throw herself enthusiastically
into the fight for Hill, it is more than
likely, that to her would fall the honor
of bringing about his nomination.
1t is worth the effort of any state to
name the president, especially such a
thorough-going Democratic president
as David Bennett Hill would make.

THAT BOYCOTT.

BLOOMING GROVE, NAVARRO COUNTY, TEX,
February II, 1892.
Editor Gazette:
A falsehood has crept into publicity rela-
tive to boycott being organized in or
around our town against The GAZETTE.
Tue report originated entirely outside of
our town and was given publicity by the
CourierO Observer of Corsicana unbeknow-
ing to any of us. Whether they published
1t for malicious purposes, or otherwise, we
are unable to say, but it cast q reflection
upon our town that is an injustice to any
civilized people; therefore, since you have
copied from them and given the matter pub
hcity throughout the state, we. sincerely
ask that you correct the statement and as
sure the people that we are people whose
principles soar above such degradation as
the alleged boycott system. We admit that
there are many warm advocates of Col.
Mills IN this community, but they are
highly respected citizens and have not for
a single time even intimated at boycott.
Unless the report is corrected our people
will consider that it was given publicity
for two purposes, i. e., to injure Col. Mills
in his present campaign and to reflect dis
credit upon our town. B. E. PROCTOR.
The report of the boycott of THE
GAZETTE by a meeting of Mr.. Mills
friends in Blooming Grove was first
published by the Corsicana Courier
Observer, in the same county, and
warm supporter of Mr.. Mills. 1t was
copied into THE GAZETTE as authentic
news because of the repute OF the
Courier, which certainly had no
malicious" purpose towards Mr.. Mills,
being one of his staunchest friends. It
will, very likely, be eble to showdiffer-
ent cause for the publication than that
imputed by our correspondent.

EMPEROR WILLIAM has decided to
abolish beheading as the mode of capt.
tai punishment in Germany, and is de-
batting between electrocution and the
garrote as a substitute. If the practical
emperor will mildly experiment with
the two methods, there is no doubt that
he will give electricity the preference.
When killing is made as easy as kodak
ing, there should be no question about
the mode of it.

OUTSIDE TESTIMONY.


In the current mum Der of Belfords
there is to be found world of cheer in
symposium of writer's on The New
South" The three writing represent
three sections, and not one of them
from the extreme South.
The first paper notes the progress
made in the South during the last dec
ade. In this the writer opens the
way to conviction by evincing a
thorough understanding OF the en-
barrassments that have hindered
progress in the South. The facts of
an uprooted and destroyed industrial
system and annihilated values con-
fronted the Southern people at the
close of the war and it is little wonder
that the difficulties appalled, them.
Ten years was short time to restore
confidence, to rekindle hope and to di-
vert energies into new channels. and
it was not until 1875 that Northern
capital came in to supply the great
need of the South. From 1880 to 1890
the increase of business and the devel-
opment of enterprises have been I'M
precedented. Not to multiply figures,
it is enough to state that Sc represents
the percentage of increase in bank
ing capital, and 4SO9O that of progress
in iron manufacture, that of railroads
119, and of agricultural products IS
percentage increase
According to this writer, the late
financial panic has been felt more
seriously in the South because. being
in stage of development, harm has
come to new enterprises because of a
withdrawal of confidence and a CORE
spending Withholding of capital.
These writer's agree in the superior
advantages of the South in climate.
diversity of soil. its mineral and lumber
wealth, and that manufacturing as
well as agriculture can be carried on
here at less cost and with better results
than in the North and West. In the
negro they see cheap and desirable
labor, and what is more surprising,
recognize the necessity of white mems
brain to direct that labor.
In enumerating the possibilities of
the South, Texas is not overlooked.
The vast herding grounds are spoken
of as means of wealth, having only
the disadvantage of long transporta-
ton to overcome. The diversity of the
agricultural products Of the state is re-
garded as an unfailing source Of reve-
nue., and that untold treasures are hid
den in her mines is freely admitted. In
proof of the last, writer is quoted as
that there are areas in Texas
which viii produce 100000 tons of
iron to the square mile.
This trio of writer's agree in the be-
lief that the South, and particularly
the Southwest. by virtue of climate,
soil, products and vacant lands, is the
land of promise to the agriculturist,
the manufacturer and the capitalist.
They also agree that this section has
from jealousy in the West and
rom lack of confidence at the East. as
well as a general ignorance regarding
/, and unite in expressing the belief
hat land so richly endowed must
emerge into the sunlight Of prosperity
whenever the causes that have re-
arded its progress are dispersed.
