Special to the Gazette
DALLAS, TEX, March 5.-Between and
3 O'Clock this evening the news was turned
in at the Central station that man had
been shot and killed on Ross avenue at the
Central crossing. Soon that street was
thronged thoroughfare with every manner
of vehicle going to the scene of
among the number. On reaching the spot,
there lay the body of Isaac n. Elan, dead,
though still warm and limp, just as he
had fallen with a great hole in
his right side by load Of
shot, from which portruded his entrails
1t appears the shooting commenced in front
Of Owens feed store on the south side OF
Ross and east of the Central railroad track
forty or fifty feet, and people in the neigh
borhood claim that there were five or six
shots fired rapidly, and evidence of the by
ISLANDERS is more or less conflict
ing, some claiming, that both par
ties were firing at each other, young
Owens following Elan up toward the rail
road track TO within ten feet or so of it,
when he fired the fatal shot from double
barreled shotgun. Elan ran or staggered
over the track into Leo Waelder's meat
market, then out again on the walk
falling just east of the market.
He only lived about ten minutes after he
fell, and was not able to utter word.
1t appears from a statement made by
young Owens father that his son had
rented house of Elan, near Elam's little
house on the corler of Ross avenue and
Hall street, and that the chimney smoked
and had been fixed by Elan,
who came this morning and war ed Owens
to pay his rent. That Owens objected be-
cause he said the chimney still smoked and
Elan got very angry and cursed him and
pulled a pistol, but went away. Again
about O'Clock he came around to the feed
store on Ross avenue and demanded
his rent. when young Owens
told him the chimney still smoked and he
did not want the house. At this he cursed
and swore, when young Owens pulled his
gun and commenced firing, which was re-
turned BY Elan.
Owens gave himself up and was taken to
jail By the officers.
Elan had been at work for Assessor
Witt, making assessments. Mr.. Witt says
ne was a sober, steady man.
Two negro men were seriously carved up

CORRESPONDENTS are advised that
THE GAZETTE does not want guber-
material ceususes of the tape-worm
pattern. There are over 400, coo voters
in the state, and when it comes to vot-
ing each man counts as much as any
other man. 1t would be easy to fill a
paper with inte rviews in favor of any
gentleman that has been or may be
mentioned fer governor, but THE GA
zETTE announced some time ago that
it is not in the business of making a
governor. It will print the news, pure
and simple, and leave to the organs
the work of molding public sentiment
by the old-time methods.

AMAGNArE,s REVENGE

A New York newspaper that appears
to have got at therock bottom facts, fur
nishes an explanation of the failure
last fall of Deacon White & Co., of
New York, and of Field, Lindley &
Weichers, bankers of the same city.
John D. Rockefeller and his set are said
to have been the cause of the collapse
in both instances. Rocket eller had
employed White & Co. to run grain
deal for him. White did some 'tail-
ing on" for himself which led Rookie
Teller to suspect that he was giving
more attention to his own interests
than to those he was employed to man
age. To punish White L Co, Rocka-
Teller permitted them to capture the
whole deal aud then withdrew his sup
port The brokers were Of course heav-
lily overloaded and went broke" for d
million.
In the same manner Rockefeller who
had done business through the ban king
firm OF Field, Lindley & Weichers, had
employed-them to manipulate deal
for his company. He lost confidence in
their ability or fidelity. knowing that
they, too, were falling for them

THE PROFIr.sHARING PLAN.

PRESIDENT NJ. Il. INGALLS, of the
"Big -Four" and Chesapeake and Ohio
railroads, In his annual report advised
the shareholders to adopt the following
plan ns n settlement of labor troubles:
"a large portion OF the timo of your
6ficors aud managers is takon up meet
ing and consulting and discussing with
the organized bodies of labor on the road
the question Of wages, eic, Your direc.
tors would recommend 10 tho siockhold-
ors to consider tho plan Of establishing a
community orin,erost with the employees.
II tho company has arrived nj financial
position, ~ your directors think Il has.
when 1t can safely be expected To earn it's
fixed charges and a surplus, they would
recommend that tho surplus bo equally
divided with the employees. For instance,
II your capital is sGO,0O0,0OO and the
wages Of the employees In n year amount
to 5000 900, lot that 10 tho rate OF dlvi-
sion. II your surplus earnings arc $780,
600 year, 1t would bo per cent for the
stockholders and per cent for the en-.
ployes. As tho earnings OF the company
increase tho por oontago will bo still
larger. In any ovont, tho employees
would still receive regular compensation
and would also share TO some extent in
whatever prosperity the company had"
Mr. ingalls, says the plan has been
tried successfully on one Of the French
railroads.

THE REFORM OF HUMANITY.

A GREAT many well.meanlng
thoughtful people are mentally dis
turbed over the increasing crimlnality
shown by current publications. They
arc casting about for remedies, but
are unable to fix upon anything feasi.
BILE, except II DO 10 recommend, under
the mistaken idea that 1t Is new, some
plan that has been tried times without
number.
We have received n circular from
the Worlds AdvaHoed Thought, Of Port
land, Oregon, which proposes to deal
with the question OF the reformation
OF humRuity--A wide as we'll rs impor-
tant subject. The Introductory por.
ton OF the leailet is devoted to state
ment OF belief that this reform must be
brought about largely by individual
self.reform. IL seems to be unnecessary
10 lay down such proposition ~ this,
because its correctness IL nelf.evldent.
Apart from individual efforts reform is
nm impossi bility. To reason otherwise
would amount to an assumption that
man IL mere machine which can be
changed and operated by outward
operations exclusively. In the work OF
Improvement external influences are
unsvailing unless they meet with a
response from within.
After the preamble part OF the cir.
cular comes the following set OF resolu.
tions;
"Rosolved, That we, the undersigned,
constitute Ourselves into Society tor
Self-Reform, 70 try TO live in harmony
with all life.
'IesolVod, That wo shall ondeavor to
40 guard our thoughts, that We shall only
evolve good ones that wo will neither
think nor speak ~ Of another, no matter
how great tho provoca,loni and that we
will strive persistonily to be the ombodi-
mont of love and good viii.
.Rosolvcd, That M far as lies within
our power wo will not leave any effort
uptrIod, nor lot an opportunity pass to
help our follow beings"
II will be observed that although In
dividual effort is insisted upon rs the
chief factor In human reform, external
assistance il recognized rs necessary
part Of the process, this latter being
aimed Mt by the formation Of societies
the members tot which have a mu.
tual object. BY association they are
placed In q position to aid each other to
attain the end In view.
We hope the projectors Of this move.
ment DO not claim that their pro osi-
ton has any novel feature connected
with it. Christianity is neither more
nor less than system which brings
into play internal individual forces
and external influences 10 produce
human reformation, Aud beside /.

THE IDAHO TEST CASE.

THE Idaho politicians seem to be in
earnest about breaking down the
barrier which Is in the way Of tho
"Momon" citizens Of that State TO the
polls. Flrst, the Republican State
Convention resolved to move for tue
repeal OF the obnoxious test cath at the
next session OF the Legislature. Then
the Democratic State Convention
adopted similar resolution and, fur
Their pronounced the test oath uncon-
stltutional and declared In favor OF
testing the matter In the courts. On
Saturday Republicans ut Paris, Bear
Lake County, took the initiative by
making test case with view TO the
immediate determination Of the issue.
A "Mormon" citizen applied for
registration, was rendered the test
oath, and refused TO take 80 much OF II
as was added TO the provision OF the
