MEMPHIS, Tenn, January 25.-The most
sensational tragedy which has occurred in
Memphis for years took place this after
noon. The victim was Miss Freda Ward
and the slayer was Miss Alice Mitchell.
Both were familiar figures in society, and
the awful affair is tonight the talk OF the
town. Miss Mitchell is the nineteen-year-
old daughter Of George Mitchell. retired
furniture-dealer. and she and Miss John
ston, in the latter's stylish " turnout, y
were familiar sight on the drives about
the city. Miss Ward Is the daughter OF
John Ward. a planter and wealthy mer-
chant Of Gold Dust. Ark. At the inquest
this evening the jury rendered verdict
charging Miss Mitchell with the killing.
and mat it was premeditated.
CAUSE OF TIE TRAGEDY.
II is alleged by several persons that Miss
Ward has made remarks of decidedly
uncomplimentary nature regarding Miss
Mitchell, and this Is supposed 10 nave
been the cause of the tragedy.
THE TRAGEDY ITSELF.
This afternoon buggy containing Miss
Mitchell and her friend, Miss Lizzie john
ston. drove up 70 the custom house.
Coming slowly along the pavement, chat
ting pleasantly, were Miss Ward, of Gold
Dust, Ark. and her sister 10. Suddenly
from her carriage bounded Miss Mitchell.
Catching Miss Ward by the neck, she
drew q razor across the throat of her vic
tim. Miss Ward sank to the pavement,
and in moment she was cold in death.
The murdered girls sister received a
trifing cut. Miss Mitchell jumped into
the buggy with the exclamation Drive
on; I've done it," and the pair drove
home, where Miss Mitchell was arrested.

The friends Of Benjamin Harrison
should not be lulled TO sleep by the ap-
parent unanimity with which he has
been endorsed by nearly every state and
district convention. The real danger OF
the situation lies in over.oonfidence and
the prevailing belief that the nomina-
tion at Minneapolis will be conceded to
him by acclamation without a struggle.
There is great significance in the bit
ter speeches recently made by the two
Colorado senators and the threat that
the Rocky mountain states would pool
issues on free silver and cast their votes
for third party candidate il Harrison
is renominated. There is manifestly to
be concerted onslaught against Harri-
son by the Pacific coast and Rocky
mountain delegations, Tremendous
pressure will be brought to bear upon
all weak -kneed delegates by the threat
that his nomination means the newt
able loss Of every elector in the silver
mining states. And If these tenderfeet
can be frightened they will be re-
inforced by the men who are masquerad-
ing for Harrison while in reality
anxious 10 have him beaten. That a
very considerable proportion Of the con-
vention will be made up Of this class of
doub e-dealing politicians must be mani
fest to every intelligent observer The
hostility to Harrison among the fol-
lowers OF Quay, Platt, Clarkson, Alger
and several dark horses, who have been
kept in tho background for prudential
reasons, will break out whenever 1t is
found safe to start stampede Instruc-
tions and pledges will be sundered like
n wisp by men who are at heart op-
posed to Harrison because they have a
fancied or real grievance.
place none but Americans on guard
tonight" was the instruction of General
Washington on the eve of one of his
battles. Place none but real Harrison
men on the delegation if you sincerely
desire to see Harrison renominated. 1t
is proper enough to instruct for him,
but it is not safe to trust any man who
is not known to be for him first, last and
all the time.

OMAHA REAL ESTATE.

There can be no question now about
Omaha's future She is sure TO become
a great city, unless the Indifference of
her citizens shall allow the natural con-
ditions to be changed and trade to be
diverted from its legitimate course.
These years of depression have not been
years of retrogr ession. Quite the con-
trary, for while speculation has not
been active, legitimate enterprises have
prospered. the population has gradually
increased and the city has steadfastly
held her ground. Real estate values
have touched bottom. The reaction
from the phenomenal activity of few
years since has reached its utmost limit.
The feeling for months has been more
confident Eastern investors have not
hesitated to accept advantageous
offers of promising lands and
lots. Real estate operators are begin
ming to withdraw from Chicago and
other booming" cities and to look
toward the great west for the best
future returns for Investments Home
building is on the increase and the out
look in every direction is encouraging.
Contributing in large measure to the
promise Of renewed activity in this
field OF advep ture are the extensive pub
lie and private improvements either al
ready partly under way or about to be
begun. The additions TO the packing
houses and the extensions of the stock
yards at South Omaha have given
strong tone to real estate in that suburb
The federal building, the street i'm
provements, the new business blocks,
the viaducts and other enterprises all
point to ain enlarged demand for labor
and consequent increase in the volume
of wages paid out to be distributed
through retail establishments. The
Manufacturers and Consumers associa-
tion by the aid of patriotic public opin
ion is placing its members upon a more
solid footing than ever before and offer
ing an encouragement to manufactures
which is more potent in its influence
than subsidies of lands or cash. The
jobbers report better trade than they
have enjoyed for years. These and
many minor elements have aided in
bringing about the improved conditions
WHlCu arc HdklHR tnSIlSolNeS lelJ III
the stronger, more confident movement
for real estate improvement and invest
ment.
For the early future investors and
owners look to the advantages certain
to accrue from the Nebraska Central
railway enterprise, the extension of the
railway line to Yankton, the probable
resumption of work upon the union
depot, good crops and the removal of
discriminating rates now operating to
the disadvantage OF our jobbing trade.
These are more or less uncertain of
course, but tho buoyant feeling which
the abundant harvests of the past year,
tho building and street Improvement
enterprises and other evidences of re-
turning prosperity have aroused, lead all
classes of citizens to anticipate the
realization Of these hopes for other and
larger undertakings, and to turn from
the slow profits of low interest rates to
the more promising outlook in the direc
tion of real estate investments.

THE GRANT MONUMENT.

On Wednesday next, April 81, the
seventieth anniversary OF tho birthday
of General Grant, the corner stone of the
monument to the illustrious soldier at
Riverside park, New York city. will be
laid. After nearly seven years the
pledge given by the people of New York
to erect "A suitable memorial to General
Grant if his remains we're allowed to
repose in their city is to be redeemed,
Tho long delay in carrying out thor
promise to the family Of the great soldier
and to tho country-a promise which
prevented the erection of IL monument
in the capital of the natlon-is not cred
liable TO the generosity, the public
spirit, or the patriotism of the people of
New York That wealthy city ought to
have supplied the small sum asked for
the Grant monument at once, but it has
taken all these years and the employ
ment of various devices to raise the fund
to a point where the laying of the corner
stone can be done with the assurance
that the work will be carried forward to
completion. The people OF New York,
therefore, cannot be- congratulated upon
the fact that they have finally been
induced to do what they should have
done six years ago,
The laying of the corner stone of the
Grant monument will be memorable
occasion. The president of the United
States, members of the cabinet and OF
congress, and distinguished citizens
from all parts of the country will par
ticipate in the ceremonies The event
will revive in the minds of the whole
people the splendid military record of
the illustrious loader OF the union
armies, and the thoughts of men of
every section of tho country will dwell
for time upon his honorable service to
the country in peace as well as in war,
remembering especially his solicitude
Tor the establishment of tho fraternal
relations between the people of the north
and the south, which he believed to be
Indispensable to perfect union. 1t was
General Grant who sought TO quiet the
passions and eiface the antagonlsms OF
his countrymen by the injunction: Let
US have peace" and no weightier or
moro influential words were ever spoken
by any American.
The monument to be erected in River
side park TO perpetuate the memory of
Grant will be less imposing memoria!
to the great soldier than the American
people desire. and sooner or later a
grander monument, better typifying the
greatness of his achievements and more
Justly illustrative OF the estoom and az
fection of mis- countrymen, will be

GRADE OF LIEUTENANT GENERAL

Secretary of War Elliins is actively
supporting the effortto revive the grade
of lieutenant general, bills for this pur-
pose having been introduced into the
senate and house some time ago. Such
n measure was passed by the senate in
tho last congress, but the proposed
legislation failed owing to the fact that
the house proposed II substitute provia-
ing that the grade of lieutenant general,
to be conferred upon the present com
mander of the army, should continue
only during the continuance in Office of
that officer. The senate bill provided
for re-establishing the grade on the
broad ground of public expediency. The
house passed the personal bill which its
committee reported, and between the
two the plan fell to the ground,
The bills introduced at the present
session are similar in character to the
senate bill of last session. Tho new
senate bill provides that tho senior
major general of tho army, while com
manding the army OF the United States,
shall have the rank of u lieutenant gem
eral, and shall be entitled to the same
pay and emoluments Of that grade, and
to the selection of the same personal
staff with tho rank, pay and emoluments
rs heretofore fixed by law, and on his
retirement, by virtue of existing lave,
shall be entitled to the retired pay of n
lieutenant general. Ono of the house
bills provides that the grade of the
lieutenant general be re-established in
the army of the United States, and the
president Ia authorized to appoint. by
and with the advice and consent OF the
senate, n lieutenant general of the army
1t is also provided that the pay and
allowances of this grade shall be the
same as in former years.
These measures put the proposed leg
islation on the ground of the expediency
of placing the commanding officer of
the army in n grade superior to his sub
ordinates, and this is NJ least reason
able. Tho mistake of the last congress
was in overlooking the fact that appoint
mcnts to the 'grade of lieutenant gem
erai for war services were completed
and closed up by an express net of con-
gress moro than twenty years ago
Three officers only were selected for
that grade, Grant, Sherman and Sheri-
dan. and two officers, Grant and Sher-
man, for tho still higher grade of gem
eral. When Sherman was made gen.
eral and Sheridan lieutenant gen.
eral 1t was expressly provided that
these grades should lapse with their
tenure by these incumbents, but when
Sheridan lay on his doathbed congress
conferred upon him the rank of general,
no change being made in the law re-
gurding his vacated grade Of lieutenant
general.
The propriety of giving tho rank and
pay of lieutenant general TO the officer
commanding the army would seem to be
obvious, but it may not be possible TO make
the present house of representatives SEQ
IL, because there is involved an addi-
tional expenditure OF few thousand
dollars year. Hence the proposed re-
vival OF the grade OF lieutenant general
will probably have to wait for less pc
nurious congress than the present ono

erected at the nations capital There
need be no hurry TO do this. There is
no danger that the fame Of Grant will
be dimmed by time or that the Ameri-
can people will cease to cherish his
memory. Without tho aid OF marble or
bronze these would live on, because
they are an imperishable part OF the his
tory of the nation from which it de-
rives much OF its honor and glory. But
there is need that the whole people
shall properly and adequately attest
their homage for the first OF American
soldiers, the sincere patriot and the
true citizeu-illustriou in war and faith
full to every duty in poace-and this they
can do by erecting at the seat of gov
ernment monument worthy of tho man
and of the nation.

III mas become custom among doctors
who stand high in their calling to
accept free use OF Office rooms at the
hands OF druggists, and in some cases
doctors enjoying extensive practice
have had their Office rent paid outright
by druggists whose prescription blanks
they use. This mutual exchange OF
favors might not be discreditable we're
IL not for the fact that some, IL not
most OF these doctors purposely pre-
scribe enormous doses of medicine
when they know that the greater part
is not TO be used. These double and
treble doses of costly compounds are
not only an imposition for the benefit OF
druggists and doctors, but they often
cause great hardship and absolute dis
tress to people of limited means
afflicted with diseases. Many poor men
and women in distress have to pawn
their furniture and clothing to pay
inflated drug bills on the top OF doctors
bills, which in themselves would be
burdeusome enough.
A similar and equally indefensible
practice has grown up among attorneys.
Every capable lawyer whose advice and
services are in demand is entitled to re-
ceive liberal pay for his time and skill.
But no lawyer who makes any pretense
TO professional pride should take ad-
vantage oil his client and exact from him
one dime more for any outlay connected
with his suit than he has actually paid
out for him. And yet some of our most
prominent lawyers are constantly guilty
OF species of imposture, If not petit
larceny, alike dishonest and dishonor
able. We refcr TO the practice of ac-
cepting rebates from publishers for legal
advertising and pocketing the difference
between the price fixed by law and the
price actually paid. This is not the
worst feature The object of legal ad-
vertising is the widest publicity in
papers of established circulation that
reach the masses. But such papers can
not afford to accept less than legal rates
for their space. In any event, they
cannot give 20 or % per cent discount to
lawyers and make out fraudulent bills
for the full legal rate against their
clients.
What is the result2 Mortgage fore
closures, sheriif's sales and notices to
nonresident property owners are in
serted in papers which circulate only
among lawyers and a few mortgage
sharks and sharps looking for a chance
to secure property at forced sales where
nobody is bidding. Thus the interests
OF people who have been driven to the
wall by creditors, and widows and or.
phans whose heritage is to be parti-
toned and disposed of, are sacrificed to
the greed of attorneys. People arc sold
out of house and home before they know
it,just rs people are often divorced by the
same process of advertising in reader
less sheets. This malpractice is be-
coming more scandalous from day to
day. 1t has extended from lawyers to
court officials and furnishes striking
illustration of the debasing influence
which petty brite can exert in an
honorable profession.

UNPRoFEsSmyAL PRACTICES.

There is code of unwritten ethics
which no honorable member OF tho legal
or medical profession should violate.
No doctor or lawyer who has any pride
IN his calling would either directly or
indirectly take advantage of his clients
or patients for mercenary ends. The
fees which reputable men IN these pro-
fessions exact for their services are sup
posed TO be ample. They are not arbi-
trarily fixed by law or even by competi-
tion. Every lawyer and every doctor
fixes his charges according to the esti-
mate he has of his own ability To COM
mand patronage
A hagrant abuse of popular confidence,
If not a downright imposture has,
however, been tolerated at the hands
of professional men in this city. which
tends to lower the professions in the
estimate Of all honest, thinking people.

must have digestive apparatus made of

cite instances it could repeat names

even now would nauseate every honest
