A GENUINE SENSATION.
Two High Railway officials Charged
with Murder.

Fort Smith, Ark, Nov. 2T.-Fort
Smith was treated to genuine sensa-
ton by the arrest of two high railroad
officials for the crime of murder
They are w. J. Mckee, superintend-
ent of the Missouri Pacific, and Train
master Walsh
With them were also arrested for the
same crime, Jacob Barker. a colored
porter, and jerry Mans, cook on Super
intendent McKee's private car. War
rants are also out for the porter on
NcNee'S car and an unknown gentle
man who was in company witt Mckee
and Walsh the night of the tragedy.
These men are charged with the muir
der of Pullman Conductor John Brown,
on the morning of November 49, at q
few minutes past O'Clock. Brown was
q new conductor on the territory run
and seems to have had some Fremont
ton of his fate, as he said that night if
he ever reached Kansas City alive, ne
would never go out again
Before reaching Fort Smith the train
was notified that a hold-up was ex-
pected at Hanlon, or Mckay. Guarda
We're placed on the train at Fort Smith

o'clock Monday morning. At 40 Nc,

leaving Fort Smith, in a berth in the
rear end of the sleeper. Behind was a
special car containing Mckee and
Walsh, a third gentleman and the SER
wants. The conductor of the train
passed through the sleeper at this
point and Brown got up from tha
berth and, standing in the aisle, asked
what was the matter. The conductor,
seeing that he was nervous. responded:
"Oh, nothing The conductor saw
Brown no more. When the train
reached Mckay, Shot was heard in
the end of the train, but no attention
was paid to it except by Conductor
Morgan, who. after the train had start
ed, went back and examined the pistol
belonging to Pullman Porter Barker
and found it loaded all around. Two
citizens of Mckay say they saw the
body of Brown thrown off the train
after the shot was fired The SUPPOSE
ton is that the Pullman conductor was
shot when standing on the platform
between the special and sleeper and
that it was stray bullet The cook
and porter are in the United States

AFTER .LIyING PICTUREs.n
w. c. n. U. People Propose to Make
Deadly War Upon Them.

New York, Nov "a crusade for
reforming the Music hall and other
stages of this city is, it is alleged to be
inaugurated Immediately by Miss Fran
ces Willard and the ladies of the w. G..
T. u. Lady Somerset said to a re-
porter today:
Miss Willard and her associates in
this movement are very rcluca in earn
est. They feel that the living pictures
as exhibited at present in the the2ters
of this city are terrible menace to
young men and tend to encourage i'm
morality and evil thinking and are also
an outrage on women. am told the
living pictures are worse here than they
are in England, and that is saying a
good deal. That such things are per-
mitted here is due to the fact that the
women have not awakened to the deadly
and blighting influence of this new de-
parture in our Uheaters."

out by the citizens tomorrow to search
for him. He has a large number of

decision as to the best course to pur-
sue in the matter. kilograms have
been sent in every direction. The
large sum of money on his person
makes it possible that he has been
foully dealt with.

that the New York Central and all

PUSHING TRADE IN AMERICA.
Many Tricks ResOrted to by European
Dealers in Wines and Liquors.

Many Tricks ResOrted to by European
Dealers in Wines and Liquors.
There is a trick in the champagne,
and in fact in all wine and liquor
trades, known as ''pushing." A French
house while h casts envious eyes on the
American market has to push" it's
wine to get it sold here. The agents
resort to all manner of eXpedients to
sell their wine. They give prizes to
head bartenders, stewards, etc. They
create q fictitious demand by asking
for a certain brand in hotels and res.
tarrants where that particular brand
is not in stock. They employ their
men to make the rounds" and do the
same thing. When they are with "a
crowd they order their own brand. paw
for it and make the rest of the pal y
drink it. Then, of course, the next
man who orders calls for the same
wine. This pushing" of wines makes
1t Impossible to judge of the American
taste for any one particular cham
payne. One brand may be pushed"
INTO demand one year and allowed to
TALL from grace in the next. The idea,
according to the New York Tribune.
is to spend a great deal of money one
year in getting a wine before the pub
lie and then to make large profit on
succeeding years. 1t is living on ones
reputation. So that if the sale of a
lew brands increases from year to year
that is not a fair estimate from which
to draw conclusions, and the same
holds true if the sale of a few brands
decreases. But when we take twenty
three American agents and compare
their sales for two years we get good
idea of the whole trade in this country.
Outside of those twenty-three houses
all other agents in this country
brought here in 1892 only 9.s66 cases.
Last year ''all other agents imported
1927. The imports for 1892 of twenty
three agents and all others were $50.
622 cases, but last year they fell off to
27S,520. This is a decrease of 72.1O2
eases, representing wine which would
cost the consumer over s., zoo. 900. But
a consumption of 21S.52O cases. most
people will say who have not the finan.
cial taste for champagne, is a very
great deal.
