BURNT MILLS.

Mr.. w. c. Bonsal who recently purchas-
ed a tract of land at this place, has moved
into his residence.
short time ago the fact was published
in The Star that Mr.. and Mrs Bonsal were
about to settle in the neighborhood of
Burnt Mills, and a short narrative was
given of his experience at Winchester dur
ing the late rebellion. In relation to this
item of suburban news, 1t may be interest
ing to state that Mrs. Bonsal formerly
Rebecca Wright, who resided in Winches-
ter, Va, in the sixties, was the daughter
of Cnionist who was captured and sent
to Libby prison, after which he shortly
died. To support the family her mother
established boarding house at Winches-
ter, during which time an officer of Gen.
Early's army, who was stopping in an
adjoining house, became acquainted with
Miss Wright. This officer, who was con-
versant with the movements of the con-
federate forces incautouSly divulged the
plans of Gen. Early to Miss Rebecca. She
being a sympathizer with the north, i'm
mediately upon the advent of the Union
troops into the town informed Gen. Sheri-
dan of what she learned from the southern
officer Upon this information Gen. Sheri-
dan won the battle of Opequan. Mrs.
Bonsal has in her possession letters from
Gen. Phil Sheridan, dated September 15.
1854, and July 4, 1851, the latter commenda-
tory and thanking her for services in the
Union cause
Mr. VIM E. Mannakee is having con-
structed an addition to his house which

Quently heard in that district |. e., that
the ex-governor personally knows every
democratic voter in the district, and nearly
all the republicans. 1t can at least be said
that repeated campaigning in the district,
added to the ordinary advantage coming
from a life spent on the ground, have made
Mr.. Campbell perfectly familiar with the

the result awaited as a harbinger of what

Congressman Outhwaite's Plans.
Politicians here are waiting for some
word from Congressman Outhwaite as to
whether he will stand for Congress again
this fall Several publications have been
made here to the effect that he has deter
mined to retire, but these are known TO be
unreliable. He has not made up his mind
yet He is receiving letters from his
friends here upon the advisability of max
Ing the race again. A decision from him
Is expected before the end of this month.
A small faction of the democrats here, who
interested themselves in the candidacy of
John l.. Trauger for the post Office ap-
pointment, are making a vigorous kick
since Trauger was not appointed, but it is
only fair to state that by his recommended
ton in the matter Mr.. Outhwaite has re-
talned the respect of the great majority of
the people of both parties here, and should
he desire to run again he could at least
secure the nomination with ease.

The Topeka Capital is the farmers
paper that is, we mean the farmers
do the work and the Capital collects
the proceeds for the railroads and
other capitalistic conceans. The
Capital is very profuse in it's advice
to farmers, and as friendly as the
the spider that invited the fly to
walk into its parlor. There are
some farmers who won't walk, and
hence are source Of great solicit
tude to the Capital. Over those
farmers the Capital yearns, and in
it's yearning, it lost it's grip on the
right end of the string. There was
blunder somehow. Some weeks
since the Capital advised the farmers
to sow less wheat-wheat don't
pay. "Oyer-production !" Now, La
Dor Commissioner Todd has proven
that Kansas farmers are selling
wheat at loss, and the Capital is
mad, and is proving that farmers are
making money raising wheat. If
farmers cannot obtain consolation
elsewhere, let them 60 to the Capt.

Coxey's peace army is in Mary
land, gradually nearing Washington.
Meantime, thousands of men in
various parts of the country are on
their way to join the army, or pre-
pairing to start in time to reach the
national capital by May LIST. Those
who at first made sport of the move
ment now regard it as a serious
matter. So far, all efforts to turn
these brave men from their purpose,
or to overcome or discourage them,
have proved unavailing.

IT is gratifying to see that the
Odd Fellows of this city are going
to have the courage to give "dry"
banquet. 1t takes good nerve to
do that sort of thing in these days,
and yet it should not. There is no
special reason why banquet should
be "wet." The liquor does not aid
the digestion it only fuddles the
brain. At "dry" banquet it takes
a brighter joke to bring laugh, and
the headache of the following day is
not so assertive. Over in Kansas,
"dry" banquets are the rule; man
who puts wine upon his table is look
ed upon with suspicion because the
people really believe that it is a bad
thing physically. They are a fairly
intelligent people over in Kansas,
and there is no reason to laugh at
them or at any one else who decides
upon what they regard as sensible
course. The Odd Fellows should be
given credit for their courage

Nothing in This World

Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether 1t be
measured by the cost Of its production or BY its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an american, metropolitan, daily paper Of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. 1t prints all the real news of
the world- the news you care tor-euery day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a days
work too. 1t is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the faint of party
bias In word-H's complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the

By q Woman Whom He Would
No Longer Support
EXCITING SCENE IN TACOMA.


Tacoma, Dec. 13-Frank o. Meeker
was shot tonight by Mrs Louisa De
Witt. widow OF Frank De Witt who
was murdered here thirteen years ago
by E c. Spencer, a sewing machine
agent Mrs. Dewitt had possession Of
a letter which Meeker says was bust
ness letter. They quarreled about its
possession. and after Meeker had left
Mrs. Dewitt's house she followed and
shot him, and then tainted.
On leaving her he said he would not
support her FURTHER. and she became an
ragged She has a child aged / year. OF
which she will not deny nor affirm that
Meeker Is the father. Meeker claims
that he supported her because he had
adopted her daugter. now aged H. The
event caused much excitement. IL being
first reported mat two robbers had
held up and shot the proprietor OF
hotel located ACROSS the street from
Mrs. DeWftt's house.
Two years ago at Puyallup, Meeker
was surprised under compromising cir
cumstances with Anna Knox, Ezra
Meeker's book-keeper. She was dis
charged and went to Portland. Although
there was talk then OF Mrs. Meeker se-
curing divorce. she was with her hus-
band tonight after the surgeons probed
for and took the bullet out OF Meeker's
leg at the Fife hotel. She seemed
weighed down with grief. While Mrs.
De Witt says Spencer shot her husband
without provocation. the jury acquitted
him.
Meeker says he and the woman quar-
relied. He also claims that he told her
he would not return again IL she did
not give him the letter which caused
the trouble, and she retorted that she
would make trouble for him If he did
not give her money for house rent and
more bedclothes. He wrenched the re-
volver from her and she tainted, and
tainted again. with child in her arms.
on reaching the police station Neither
will confirm or deny that the letter was
discriminating for him. Her 1S-year-old
daughter is with her in Jail. Meeker
was once concerned in the management
of the Tacoma-Puyaliup railroad, and
prominent in real estate deals. He is
now practicing law here.
