SCORE Two FOR THE "HAYsEED.'
Notorious Confidence Men Shot to Death
by COuntryman.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 16.--G. T.. Meyers
and Joseph Blum, who. with confederates.
have been operating q confidence tailor
shop in this city, were shot and instantly
killed shortly before o'clock this morning.
The killing is supposed TO have been done
by stranger. whose name is given as y.
F. Philley, a countryman, who had been en-
tced into their joint. He left the city on a
train for Omaha, ten minutes after the
double homicide. and has not yet been ap-
pretended. All the circumstances point To
him as the perpetrator. According TO the
testimony of Hugh McDermitt of Rock
Rapids. he went with Philley TO the rail-
road depot about $50 a. m. While there the
two were engaged in conversation by Mey-
ers. He invited them out TO take a drink.
Philley returned somewhat excited and out
of breath and caught the train leaving ct
a. IN. The theory IL that Meyers took the
stranger to the gangs headquarters on
Third street where Blum was on guard.
and attempted to rob him, and that he re-
sisted and shot both. at first il was sup
posed that other members of the gang were
Kid Smell. Jim Bowman. James Nc
Morris and Frank McGibbons were arrested
and are still In Jail. Tclesrams have been
sent with a View of intercepting Philley
but nothing has yet been heard of him. The
two dead men were shot through the abdo-

Honolulu is nothing but a suburb OF

Congressman believe that Willis had in
structions to proceed to measures of force
to put back the Queen, and say that he
saved Cleveland when he failed to carry
them out. To-day comes a story from the
State Department that large part of the
correspondence is missing. 1t is said to
have belonged to the Harrison administra-
ton. But IL won't do, and those who lost
it had better find it as briskly as possible.
One of the entertaining features of the
business is that some twenty Democrat
members of the House have prepared

Miss Barton has seen the effect IL has

Miss Barton placed anew the ribbon dec
