weight and Fails.
WASHINGTON April 29.-George Dixon,
colored, the featherweight champion pugi-
list, and his manager, Tom O'Rourke of
Boston, were mobbed at Kernan's theatre
last night, where the formers troupe is
playing.
Dixon had agreed to knock out Billy
Young, a well-known welterweight. in
four rounds, or forfeit $50. The fight
began at 1890, and Dixon not only did not
knock out his man, but was getting ''done
up" In the fourth round Young dealt
Dixon vicious blow on the jaw, which
sent him reeling against the ropes.
O'Rourke leaped into the ring and seized
Young. The house held 20O0 friends of
the latter. A wild shout went up, and
several men leaped 'out of the boxes upon
the stage and attacked Dixon and his
manager.
The stage hands went to their relief, aud
general melee ensued. The shouting i'm
the theater could be heard block away,
The police were sent for, and the curtain
was lowered Dixon was severely beaten.
The rioters were arrested.

the proportion is $4,000 to the square

There are twelve down with the
loathsome disease, while two other

Objections to the Cherokee Strip Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Sc
The friends of the Cherokee Strip
bill are receiving u constant stream
of kicks on their bill as recently
passed in the House.
Principal kickers are from Kan
sas and Oklahoma but some from
all over the country.
The feature that most concerns
them is the provision not allowing
anyone to have more than $4,000
worth of personal or real estate
who settles on the land.
This is regarded as too much OF Il
pauper provision and that it would
result in the country being settled
up by poor class and that it is not
especially acceptable to the fellows
now in Oklahoma.
There is a general dissatisfaction
expressed also over the provision
to sell the land for more than S1.5o
per acre. In f; ct there are MANY
letters objecting to every feature.
There will be an effort to have
some changes made, but no one
hopes to be able to meet the re-
quests for changes.

Business in Arkansas.

The annual circular of r. G.. Dun
& Co., for 1892 shows that the num-
ber of persons engaged in business
in Arkansas was 1862, failures
I'll. Thus is in round mum bers one
failure to every fifty engaged in
business. A comparison with othe,
States of the South reveals the fact
that we are doing business on quite
as safe basis, as our height bors, and
in number of intances on a safer
basis. For instance, Texas shows
one failure for every forty-sx trad
ers; Mississippi shows one failure
tor every thirty-six traders; Ala
bama shows one failure for every
torty-five traders; Tennessee shows
one taitaro for every torty-eight
traders.
The average Of the whole country
for 1892 is one failure to 1I3 trad-
ers. Thus while we are moi up with
the average, by any means, il is
some consolation to know that other
States have Jared worse. While we
rask below Virginia and South
Carolina, it is Il satisfaction to know
that we have had fewer failures to
the number Of trad ers than Ala
bama, Tennessee, Texas, and Miss
issippi. But there is foo' for thought
in these figures, and 1t may be prot
table to inquire to what extent bad
laws are responsible tor these fre-
quent failures.-L. r. Democlat.

KilleG Her Mother

Whisky has added another name G
to its already long list of victims.
Sally Grant, who was reported fro-
zen to death, afew day ago, in
Tennessee, was not frozen, but mur-
dered, and, as a consequence, her
daughter, Eva King, Notan Fair,
and Mark Crawford are now occa-
pying felon's cells.
The murder was most brutal
and inhuman one. After having
her neck broken she was dragged
for a quarter of mile over logs
and rocks, thrown over a cliff, and
her body, which was still warm,
left TO freeze in snow two feet
deep.
To think that q daughter assisted
by drunken men, would do moth
er this way is almost beyond hu-
man conception; but it seems to be a
terrible story Of retribution. The
story is that shortly after the war

LAMENTATIONS OF THE REREAVED HuS-
RANDCF iRsMA McMORRlS.
BY MAMIE WALKER.

Farewell, my.sweet and loving wife,
What is this world to me;
At morn and eve, noon and night,
My lone heart calls for thee,
miss the music of thy voice,
They bright and happy smile;
There's nothing here oh earth fiId,
My sorrows to beguile.
My love was like some tender flower,-
SO bright and brief her stay
Yes, like the flower with charms so sweet
Yet withers in day.
How long and weary is tie road
That l may tread through life?
No more to hear the soothing VIC rds
OF my fair, gentle wife,
So short, SO very short, the time,
My darling with me stayed!
How soon was changed the bridal robes
For the shroud and Deaths dark shade!
That soft, white hand she gave to me,
Which made my warm heart thrill,
Now lies upon hersgentle breast
All lifeless, cold aud still.
Although my weary heart my ache,
She'll cheer me here no more;
But a gentle hand will becor me
10 heavens peaceful shore.
Whatever ills betideth me,
My loved one is at rest;
And while sigh in anguish here
She's roaming with the blest.
Her loving eyes may watch o'er me
When snares around my path beset,
And cords oflove will lead me on
To meet my darling yet.
When have crossed the chilly tide,
That waiteth all mankind,
In land where parting is no more
My darling wife Pll find,
Irena, darling, thy sweet maine
Is ongraven on my heart,
And precious vision from my side
Will never more depart.
My earthly angel was TOO good
To suffer here below,
To fill the shining courts above
Irena was called to go.
