The Two Kansas Citys Struck By ~
Ep dsmic OF Crime.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 27.-Crime
was rampant in the two Kansas Citys
early last evening. Across the state
line a cold blooded murder was COM
mitted when Henry jackson shot and
xii led his wife. At Eighth and Della
ware streets. this city, Elmer Easter
cut Marion Davis throat, and at Eighth
and Wyoming streets Barney Allen
made desperate attempt to kill Moses
Bray. All the participants save Easter
were colored.
1t was shortly after s o'clock when
Henry Jackson, a colored brakeman on
the Northwestern railroad, dragged
his wife, Hannah jackson, out of the
house in which she lived by the hair
and then held her while he shot her to
death.
He was arrested by Q colored citizen
and taken to the police station. but
was subsequently turned over to the
state authorities and lodged in the
county Jail According to all witnesses
it was a most cold blooded murder.
Elmer Easter. white engineer at the
American bank building, came very
near putting an end to the life OF
Marion Davis, colored janitor at the
Whitney building, last night He cut
q cash four inches long in Davis
throat, opened up one side of his head
and viciously slashed him about the
arms and breast. The row resulted
over bucket of beer which Davis
bought and. Easter drank.
Nose Bray, Q young colored man,
was shot last evening near the corner
of Eighth and Wyoming streets by
Barney Allen. better known IS Butch"
Allen, another colored man, but for
tunally was not much injured.
Jealousy over the attention of a
dusky bell of the west bottoms was
the cause.

discoveries have been made at Fort
Mckinney. Keiser, soldier under ar:

two sticks of giant powder and the va
cant place was filed with cotton sat
urated with oil
Keiser says he was paid SIS in adj
vance and was promised $3.50 upon
completion of the job. 1t was to be
fred by an electric friction tube, but
he pulled the wire too sharply and it
came away without igniting the
charge.

ship company, arrived here from New
York last evening having on board the

Vanderbilt, George De Forest, Louis
Webb, Winfield Scott White and Frank

Early yesterday morning thick
fog set in and it became SO dense that
Captain Morrison deemed it irnprudent
to run further, as the vessel was then
in the track of coasting vessels.
Whistles and horns were blown at
frequent intervals and every pos
sible precaution taken to warn
other vessels of the where
abouts of the Alva. The owner
and his guests were all sleeping in
their berths when at a few minutes
past they We're aroused BY a heavy
crash. accompanied by the tearing Of
the plates of their vessel. William
Vanderbilt was the first on deck, close
ly followed by Mr.. Riggs
Captain COlman, of the Dimocx,
after receiving an affirmative answer
to the question whether the boats re-
manned intact. told the people on the
yacht that he would lay by until they
could be transferred to his vessel A
steam launch, four row boats and
naptha launch, were then lowered
from the Alva, and passengers, with
the crew of twelve men, were soon
afioat and rapidly pulling away from
their doomed craft.
Their exit was none too soon, for
when they were about a cables length
from their vessel she made a violent
keel to port and righting again,
plunged down bow first and nothing
but the three masts sticking out of the
water indicated the presence of the
magnificent ocean rover they had SO
lately deserted.
The party were all safely landed on
board the Dimock, which anchored
and remained until about LAO o'clock
in the afternoon, when the fog lifted
and course was set for Boston, ar
irving at the dock of India wharf
about o'clock last evening.

Champ Clark For Congress.

The announcements of Hon. Champ
Clark as a candidate for the Demo-
nomination for Congress from
the Ninth Congressional District will
be found in this issue.
Mr.. Clark has long been known
as m Of the boldest champions OF
Democracy. His voice has been
heard above the din of many a hard
political battle cheering on the Dem,
ocratic hosts and inspiring them
with new life and energy. His cam
paigns in this and other States hes
given him a national reputation and
his name a household word through
out Missouri.
If earnest, efficient party service
counts for anything, then no man
in this broad State can present
stronger claims for recognition by
the Democratic party than Champ
Clark Of Pike county.
But it is not because OF his past
services to the party that we advo-
cate his nomination. Public office
should not be given Is a reward for
party service. We place our support
of him upon broader and higher
ground. We believe he will repre-
sent the wishes of the people of the
district because he is in line with
them.
Champ Clark is essentially a man
of the people. He is popular with
the masses because he knows their
wants; is in sympathy with them
and has the courage to stand by
them. He is a western man, ex-
actlv in line with western thought
and sentiment, and in full accord
with the south and west on the
question of tariff and financial re-
form.
His Democracy is unquestioned
and springs from his very nature.
He was born and reared a Democrat,
with Democratic associations and
Democratic education, but would
have been a Democrat in spite of
circumstances had they been other
wise.
Champ Clark is a man of incor-
rrptible honesty, a high EMS OF
honor and generous to a fault.
If elected to Congress his ready
wit, his cultured intellect and his
earnest enthusiasm will place him at
once among the leaders of the House.
Our district now has an oppor-
tunity to send a representative to
Congress whose record is unsullied
and whose abilities can command
the attention of the country.

BEAN CREEK, April 12.-As a
taxpayer of Audsain county, I en-
dorse all Messrs. Sims, Roby and
Robinson have to say regard to dogs
VS.. sheep. In 1888, Major Whit
comb and myself went out of the
sheep business in one night-were
let out of it by dogs. My loss was
small, but it was all I had. The
Major had went to a great expense
in securing the finest strains OF
blood to bred from, and had as fine
a flock as | ever looked at, and this
flock was all killed in one night,
including mine, by, as Mr.. Sims
says, ''the only unrestrained animal
the worthless cur" and in some
cages the owners of these worthless
dogs are as worthless as the dogs.
An efficient dog law would be OF
more Importance to the farmers
than the kite-shape track or another
college at Mexico or who should be
our next United States Senator.
Candidates for Representatives
should be interviewed and unless
We have their promise to work for
such a law they should be given

a small scale in the sheep business
again and am standing guard over
them with a double barreled shot
gun, and as for sheep killing and
dog killing, | am ahead to date in
numbers. MTTT HENDRIX.

DIR. I. J. Turner, State Veterinar'
ian, was in Mexico to-day introduc,
ing to his friends DR.. Ramsey, who
will locate in Mexico permanently.
DIR. Ramsey is a veterinary surgeon
and comes to Mexico highly recon-
mended. He will have his office
with Hopkins & Ricketts, in rooms
formerly occupied by DR.. Turner.
Audrain county is one of the largest
stock growing counties in the State
and literally patronizes a first-class
surgeon of this character. We take
great pleasure in welcoming DIR.
Ramsey to Mexico and are sure he
will like our people.
