daughter of William E Tribble, the
village blacksmith, committed sui
eide about 1890 o'clock For some
weeks past the young lady had ap
peared despondeut, and to day, while
her mother was in Chillicothe, her
father was in Moberly and her two
little brothers were out hunting, she
left the room, telling her married
sister and her twin sister that she
was going to kill herself
Having threatened to take her life
before, the sisters thought nothing
of her remark. In a few minutes
the report of gun was heard aud
the twin sister running out to an
old outhouse found the girl dead on
the door with double-barreled shot
gun lying on her breat. She had
sat down on the floor, placed the
butt end of the gun on the floor.
aud, while holding the muzzle with
her left hand, placed it against her
forehead and pulled the trigger with
her right hand. A horrible looking
hole was torn in her skull, and her
brains ran out on the floor.
Deceased left note stating that
she was tired of all this world, aud
bid goodb by to all the family She
told her twin sister to tell her sweet
heart, who lived in Fort Scott, Kan,
good-by. A love affair is supposed
to have caused her to take her life.
She will be buried to morrow at

Rich Hill firm, desiring to extend
its trade over into Vernon county,

on the ground that it was not righ,
to iniure the business Of their home
merchants by advancing the interest
of foreigners. The Mail is hand

CASH GROCERY.

We have been so fairly treated by
the citizens of Butler and Bates
county during the last year in the
way of extending US their trade,
that we intend to reciprocate this
year and make cheaper prices than
was ever heard of in Bates county
before. We had large trade last
year and, while we sold goods cheap,
we intend to reduce the prices this
year by increasing our trade. The
only way that good goods can be
sold cheap is large trade and for
cash. We are large shippers OF the
farmers products, chickens, geese,
ducks, butter and eggs and will at
all times give you every cent we
possibly can for it.
You must always take into consid-
Grafton the cheap price we are selling
our goods at. Someone may at times
offer you a cent or 80 more for your
produce than We; if they do find out
before you sell to them how they are
going to sell you goods in return
for it. Remember there are two ends
to every string. Our basis of business
this year will he to sell our goods for
the very lowest price they can pos
sibly be sold at and pay the highest
price for produce that we can pcssi-
bly, pay and save ourselves: if
you can make a better trade with
your produce or make your cash go
further at any other house than you
can with us the man you trade with
will starve to death.
There are several in our city who
are trying to initiate our way of do
ing business but every person that
has traded with us in the past know
that we do business on strictly bus
mess principles, warrant every
thing we sell to be as represented
or money refunded without any par.

DEATH OF GAsKINs.
His Suicide Caused by His Divorced
Wife's Harshness.


Brunswick Ca, Sept. 13.-Cy Gaskins,
the young man who took arsenic, died
last night from the effects of the poison.
The cool manner of Gaskin's suicide, his
actions in taking the poison off the shelves
to kill himself with, and later,
walking around town, conversing
with various parties regarding his &C
ton, telling them it was for the
best, and, later lying down to die, seems
beyond reason to the average person.
Two hours after taking the arsenic, Gas
kins sat down, read over his insurance
policies ana expressed his pleasure at
their being non-conJest table Four hours
later he was dead and upon searching his
clothes, part of an ounce bottle of arsenic
was found in his pocket.
The immediate cause of Gaskin's sui
eide was the receipt of a postal card from
his divorced wife, which obtained among
others, this sentence: When | next
bear children they will have a gentleman
for father, and not such a cur as your
self. This decided him TO take his life as
the parents of Miss Daniels of Lowndes
county had compelled her to break an
engagement with him. His two children
are now with the Daniels family in
Lowndes and will get the 81 900 insurance.
His divorced wife is in Mississippi.
Gaskins was straight in his accounts and
received kind attention from Joseph
Wallace His remains were carried to
WillaCoochee tonight for burial by his
brother Bud GaSklnS.

1t Is Having a Very Rapid Growth.
Thomasville, Ca, Sept 12.-J. Nee
Tharin, president of the Cores Cigar
Company, has just returned from an ex-
tensive trip through the western states in
the interests of his factory. This COM
pany makes the Jefferson brand of cigars,
and Mr. Tharin says he was more than
gratihed at his success IN placing orders
His sales were larger than expected. On
being questioned as to the outlook by the
News correspondent, Mr.. Tharin said
"Since the settlement of the tariff ques-
ton there has been a very marked i'm
provement in the demand for our goods
We are extending our facilities and our
trade constantly. The superintendent of
the Guiana Cigar Company is now in
Cuba, laying in large stock of tobacco,
to be used by that factory in filing big
western orders.
Mr.. MacIntyre, president of the Thorn
asville Exchange and Banking Company,
which owns Guiana City, recently left
for Havana with the view of increasing
the force of men at work in the factories
here, but he writes me that he would be
quarantined, and that he will not leave
Tampa Mr.. Corces, however, will run
the vicissitudes of the quarantine regu-
lations and will leave for Cuba in a few
days to push our interests there.
Guiana City is an assured success. It

are now building two 2-story stores and a

PART OF A PLAN.
Ida Wells Crusade Intended to Bene-
fit Western Land Sharks.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 13.-Gov. NOrthen
has received a great many letters com
mending him for the manner in which he
replied to the proposed investigation and
denunciation of the south by the commit
tee Of Englishmen.
This foreign interference has aroused
strong feeling of resentment throughout
the south. and some of the letters TO the
governor indicate that if the committee
should take it into its head 70 visit this
section the reception they would receive
would go far toward curing them OF their
meddlesome impertinenCe.
Gov. Northen, however, does not be-
Geve that the alleged committee has
any legitimate relationship with the En-
glish people.
Gov Northen is in possession Of in
formation that convinces him she was the
hired agent of western land sharks and
mortgage holders who are seeking to pre-
vent the development Of the south by APP
pealing TO the preiudices and fears of
capitalists and hOme-builderS who are
beginning 10 realize the mOckery of
Horace Greely's advice, 60 west, young
man"
The steadiness with which the south
has passed through the ordeal of disaster
of the past eighteen months has had
telling effect in directing attention this
way To the detriment of the west.
The governor believes that Ida Wells
began her slanderOus crusade against the
south as part of a scheme and that this
English committed is simply another step
in the same plot to injure the south IN
the eyes of investors and homeseekers.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 13.-Charles
Abrahams, president of the Life Benefit
Association of Arkansas, was convicted
by Judge Robbins to-day of obtaining
money under false pretenses, and given
one year in jail and a fine of
500. He appealed the case, and, in
default of bail, was sent to Jail.
Abrahams in his own testimony
virtually admitted that the association
was myth and existed in name only, his
Victims about 300 in number, were poor,
unsuspecting, ignorant negroes. His
scheme was to get people to join the So
clety, each Of whom was to pay him so
cents week. In return he promised SO
per week in case of sickness and 800
when member died. Twenty demands
were recently made upon him by his
victims, but he failed to keep his
promise in every instance. Investigation
developed that he and his daughter were
the only hackers of the association. In
fling the articles of incorporation, he
forged the names of ten mythical persons
as incorporators, ana when asked 10

FREE ALCOHOL IN THE ARTS.
The Secretary of the Treasury Gives
Hearing to Druggists.

The Secretary of the Treasury Gives
a Hearing to Druggists.
Washington, Sept 13.-Secretary Car
Isle and Commissioner Miller to-day gave
a further hearing to wholesale druggists,
manufacturers of medicinal preparations,
retail druggists and others as to the ma
ture of the regulations TO be issued by the
treasury department in case the Secre-
tary of the Treasury decides that he can
issue any regulations at all to carry
into effect the provisions of sec
ton 81 of the new tariff law,
pertaining to the free Importation
Of alcohol for use in the arts and in medi-
cal preparations. Some twenty gentlemen
were present ana the most divergent
views were advanced. Some of the whole
sale manufacturers desired that they be
permitted TO manufacture their goods
from pure alcohol in bonded warehouses.
This was opposed by the smaller drug
gists as too expensive for them. The
statement was made during the general
discussion that as high as "a per cent. of
alcohol was used in some medicinal prepa-
ratiOns.
Pending preparations to carry into
effect the provisions of section 81 of the
new tariff law regarding the free impor-
tation of alcohol, Commissioner Miller
mas instructed collectors or internal reVe-
nue., and similar instructions have been
sent to customs officials, that imported
alcohol used in the arts or in the prepara-
ton of medicinal compounds, from Aug
Is TO the issuance of the regulations, will
not be entitled to the rebate provided in
the law
Secretary Carlisle announced that he
would take into consideration all the
views and papers, and announce his de-
cision in the matter at the earliest posi-
BILE time. 1t can be stated that though
the difficulties in the way of carrying the
law into effect are almost insuperable.
Secretary Carlisle will endeavor to form
regulations to do so, and at least give the
matter trial
