A DUEL TO THE DEATH.

State Representative jackson and Two
Bystanders KILLED by an Editor.
KosoIUsoo, Miss, March 3.-The place
was thrown into great excitement to-
day by deadly encounter between
w. p Radcliffe. editor of the Alliance
Vindicator, and S. A. Jackson, newly
elected state representative from this
county, in which the latter was killed.
Sam Russsll, a bystander, received a
stray shot in the mouth, killing him
instantly, and VIII Saunders, another
bystander, was shot through the thigh
and will die. The two latrer are Young
farmers.
The affair grew out of a reply by
Jackson in the Kosciusko Star denounc-
ing Radcliffe for publishing in his paper
that he (Jackson) voted In caucus at
the late meeting of the legislature for
Populist for United States senator.
Jackson and Ratclif met in front Of the
sheriff's office. A fight ensued in which
Radcliffe got Jackson down on the floor.
The crowd pulled Ratcliff awar, and, as
Jackson arose, two shots rang out, one,
it is thought, from jackson and one
from Ratcliff, without effect. Before
the men had time to fire again Sheriff
Love caught Radcliffe and was taking
him across the yard, when Jackson
came out and came upon the party
with Radcliffe, and then began the duel
to the death, each firing about three
shots, one of which hit Jackson In the
head, killing him instantly, and two
other shots, supposed to be from Rat
cliffe's pistol, killing young Russell and
mortally wounding Saunders

The House Is for the Coinage of
Seigniorage Silver.
REFUSE ALL AMENDMENTS
Every Pacific Northwest Congressman
Voted for the Bill-May Have to
Sack Popuiist Aid.

WASHINGTON, March 1 The long
struggle in the house is over; the Bland
bill for the coinage of silver seiguior-
age and silver bullion In the treasury
ended today by the passage of the bill
by vote of l67 to 1870. The special
order TO bring the bill to a vote was
adopted by bare quorum Immediately
after the house convened. This broke
the opposition of the hlibusterers, and
they were powerless to do anything
further. All amendments offered to the
measure by its opponents were de-
feated, the one which polled the most
votes being MIR. Odthwaite's ameud-
melt TO strike out the second section.
The bill was passed in the nature of
a substitute for the original text of the
measure. The changes do not effect
the material features of the bill, which
provide for coinage of silver seignior-
age In the treasury, issue of silver GER
erection of the secretary Of the treasury,
in advance of the coinage, and there
after the coinage of the remainder of
the bullion as fast as practicable and
the issue of silver certificates thereon
to take the place of treasury notes is
sued under the Sherman act, which are
to be retired and Cancelled as rapidly as
coinage takes place. The changes
made in the substitute are simply to
make specific the fact that the seign-
forage is to be coined and the bill shall
not effect the redemption of treasury
notes under the existing law. An an
alysis of the vote shows that 141 dem
ocrats, 10 republicans and populists,
total of 1853, voted for it; and 70 re.
publicans and so democrats, a total of
1879, voted against it.
Loud cheers and hand clapplng
greeted the final announcement of the
victory won by the advocates of the
measure. Mr.. Cummings then asked
and obtained unanimous consent for the
bill of reclamation of the United States
steamer Kearsarge and it passed. AT
$50 p. m. the house adjourned.
The detailed vote shows that every
representative from oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana lifted his voice
in the affirmative.

Charles GOetz Carried Down Deep
Canon on the Snow.
BOISE, March IA remarkable story
of ride upon an avalanche, from At
llnta, in the Sawtooth mountains, is
told. Generally when a man is caught
in a snowslide he is buried, and either
crushed or smothered to DEATH but in
this case the imperiled man actually
rode the avalanche half a mile and
came out alive. Charles Goetz was
hunting in the mountains near Atlanta,
when the snow started under his feet.
He was unable to extricate himself
from the moving mass, and in a few
moments he was being carried along
upon the breast of roaring avalanche.
The slide rushed down into a rocky,

through it alive. He was found eleven
hours afterward by a rescuing Iarty,
and though terribly bruised he is in a
fair way to recover.

tain Burton, Vests predecessor, who
recently resigned, was a member of the
American Protective Association, and
filed the company with the members of

shocked tonight by a terrible tragedy.
Albert Moss, young man aged 20, in a
frenzy of rage, attempted to annihilate
the Coleman family, and almost sue

could not be learned. Today the boy
discovered that Coleman, a neighbor,
sided with his father in the dispute.
Moss purchased revolver and tonight
went to the Coleman residence. In the
parlor he met Coieman's daughter Belle
and Mrs. Osburn. After talking a few
minutes and without the slightest warn
ing the young man drew revolver ard
began to shoot at the women. Belle
was shot through the arm and Mrs.
Osburn through the breast. Tae latter
was killed instantly.
Maddened by his work, Moss rushed
to old man Colemans room and fired
several shots at him. Two took effect,
one in each lung. The murderer ran
from the house, pursued by nelghbors
who had heard the pistol shots, and
going to vacant lot back of his own
home, committed suicide by putting a
ball in his heart. Mr.. Coleman is still
alive, but can not recover, Physians
who are attending him drew silk hand
kerchiefs throughthe holes in his body
to stop the flow of blood. He is an old
pioneer and highly respected.

A Story That the Carnegie Company Was
Basely swindIed.
PITTsBURG, March 4.-The Times to-
morrow will say: The Carnegie Steel
company has permitted itself to be
made the victim of a conspiracy. This
is true explanation of the assessing
of the $l4O, 4s9 damages or fine laid By
President Cleveland and Secretary of
the Navy Herbert against the company
for furnishing the government with
armor plate, portions of which, to quote
Secretary Herbert, were not up to the
highest possible mark of excellence.
The conspirators were four, all we'll
known workmen. The price they re-
ceived as a reward for their conspiracy
was about S35 900, or 25 per cent of the
damage assessment made by President
Cleveland. One Of the consplrators,
who got but 50 900 out of the S35, 900
reward, learning that he had gotten the
short end of the deal, gave expression
TO his feelings, aud skillful questioning
brought out the entire story. The arti-
Gle says further that the conspirators
substituted defective armor for the
first-class armor which the company in
tended should be furnished the govern

sit is surprising how many people are

and influenza"
The remark was made by a very promi-
nent professor, connected with one of the
leading New York hospitals. Continuing,
he said:
sit is not these things that are troubling
people,, but it is an advanced form of our
old enemy, the grip. People feel out of
sorts, sneeze. have pains in the muscles and
bones, have no appetite, lose all interest in
the world and wonder what is the matter.
1t is the grip, nothing else.
Nov, all such symptoms need to have
prompt. treatment. The attack must be
met and repealed at once, or it is certain to
run into something serious. / know of but
one. way to certainly avoid these troubles
which are now so common, and that is to
Immediately counterfeit them by using a
good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing of
the ordinary kind, but something pure and
scientific. For this purpose nothing has
ever equalled Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
which is acknowledged today by physicians
and scientific people to be the only pure,
medicinal malt whiskey upon the market"
The words of the professor are true, and
they carry a wonderful meaning to many
men and women who are suffering with the
first symptoms of grip, or else grip in its
advanced stages. For all such people we
offer a word Of advice, which is to take the
