1t is reported that some Of the racetrack gam
blers In this city propose 10 use improper IN
fuences at Albany to defeat the bill which has
already passed the Assembly 10 put tax OF
per cent on the gross receipts OF all the jockey
clubs. 1t would be an extremely unwise thing
for the racetracks 10 attempt to defeat this BILL
1t is a just. fair and proper measure IT the
jockey clubs should endeavor to prevent the
passage Of this bill they will invite trouble. 1t
would be extremely injudicious for them to stir
up a hostile public sentiment, which might bring
about the adoption OF extremely rigorous meas
ures Of repression at Albany.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Trip to Missouri.

/ left Cincinnati on the evening
OF June llth and ate breakfast in
st. Louis. A short run from there
brought me to the Missouri river,
that notably muddy stream. IL
was very high nj the time, the wat
er almost reaching the railroad
tract. A person who sees the Mis-
souri, river the first time Is sur
prised at the amount Of territory
It's waters cover. Some places look
to be y 10 3 miles wide. The nv
er Is full Of Islands and from its
appearance the water is continu-
ally changing its course. The own
er Of one Of those rich river bot
toms has no assurance as TO how
long he will he able to keepit.
think the finest wheat and corn
] ever saw grow Is on the Missouri
river bottom farms. These lands
are wonderfully rich. Crops of
corn and wheat generally look well
from st. Louis TO Webb City, Mo.
A portion OF the corn In Indiana
and Illinois does not look so we'll.
The oats cropis not an average and
the hay crop is short everywhere |
went. The fruit crop with few ex-
ceptions is very short. Southwest
Missouri Is usually blessed with
plenty Of fruit Of all kinds, but this
year the crop is failure.
Arriving at Webb City ! found
that il had improved considera bly,
since | was there nearly three
years ago. Many new mines were
opened, while many that were
then running with profit were
closed --sOme because the erich
dirt had played out and others on
account Of being flooded with wat
er. Many new buildings have
been erected and others are in pro-
cess and contemplation. One Of
the grandest Improvements is an
electric railroad from Webb City
Joplin, ten miles.
Carthage is building a 100000
court house and Joplin $4,000
court house. Business in Webb
City and among the mines is reas-
onably active, and except among
the very poor people one would
hardly know that times were hard.
one thing ! want TO say in praise
Of Webb City and Carthage Is that
the people are very charitable and
look after the worthy poor and sick.
A number Of ladies whose hus-
bands are wealthy go ont and
hunt up tho poor and administer
TO their wants. don't think our
old Kentucky people excel those
people; in fact, many of bhem are
Kentucky and Virginia natives.
In conversation with q wealthy
miner Of Webb City ! learned that
a party living somewhere in Ken

with very good sample OF zine
and lead, which they claimed was
found in abundance in Kentucky.

a letter from Mr.. Sink Roberts,
who removed a few years ago from

of the unprecedented flood in the
Columbia river, caused by the
melting Of the snow on the Rocky
and Cascade mountains. The riv-
or is not expected to get back into
the channel before some time In
August. Kalama, as we'll AS all
the towns and cities along the river,
is submerged and incalculable in-
jury is resulting. All the bottom
ranches which produce most Of the
potato, hay and hop crops are now
10 feet under water. Many Of the
tributaries OF the Columbia arose

FATAL FAMILY FRAcAs.
Six Cousins Engage in a Small
war.

over on Mill Creek, in Wayne
county, W. Va, Pearl Thompson
was shot and killed by his cousin
Sam Thompson last Wednesday
evening. Also, Wade Thompson,
Jr,, was shot In the arm. The dead
mans brother escaped injury by
fleeing from the scene.
The difficulty was the result of a
fcud which originated at a dance
about six months ago when sam
Thompson was severely stabbed
In the course of general row. He
thought Drew Thompson did the
stabblng but learned few days
ago that II was done by Pearl.
Upon learning this he swore he
would kill Pearl at first sight and
he made his threat good,
On one side were Sam and John
Thompson, brothers, and Jim HUFF,
a cousin. On the other side, Pearl
Thompson and brother, and their
cousin Wade Thompson, Jr. They
were all young men, someof them
in their teens, and all cousins TO
each other. Sam killed Pearl and
John shot Wado in the arm. The
others came out OF the fracas nm
hurt.
The participants in this affair are
mem ers Of families having bad
fighting record. Sam and John
are sons OF Wade Thompson, who
was implicated in several killings
and who was limselfkilled few
wears AGO by Sam Pratt.
