Jim Talbot Kills Another rlan.

Last weeks San Francisco Examiner
contains a dispatch from Ukiah, Cali
fornia, which states that while ]. D.
Sherman, alias Jim Talbot, was lying
in the Jail of this city a man by the
name of John Valleley eloped with
his wife. Talbot. did not learn this
fact until he arrived at Ukiah on his
way home. He then threatened TO
kill Valleley on sight. He learned
that the guilty couple were living at
COvelo in the mountains.
As soon as he learned just where
they were he left Ukiah. The next
that was heard from him was the
news that he had shot and instantly
killed Valleley who was himself des-
perado. 1t is not stated whether Tai.
bot had been arrested or whether any
attempt would be made to capture or
prosecute him.
Shortly after Talbot was brought to
Wellington the report eked out here
in some manner that his arrest and re-
turn to Kansas were really caused by
MS wife between whom and the sher-
i'll Of the county 10 which he lived in
California liaison was said to exist.
Credence was given to this report by
the attorneys for the prosecution and
it was even reported that when he at
tempted to take his wife's deposition
she refused to testify in his behalf
saying that she was living with anoth-
er man and did not care to help him
out Of his difficulties.
But Valleley was not the sheriff.
Moreover TalbOt'S friends and attor-
neys never believed any of the rumOrs
about his wife's dislOyalty to him.
During the time he was in jail here
he constantly received letters from
her and these letters were Of such a
character as to make it almost impOs-
sible for anyone to believe that she
was other than a true and loving wife
to him. The report about her refusal
to give her deposition seems to be un-
founded. Mr., Ivan D. Rogers, who
defended him, informs us that they
did attempt to take her dispositions
for the last trial. She had been living
at Ukiah. They accordingly gave no.
tice to take her dispositions there, but
by the time the papers got there she
had gone to San Francisco to visit
her husbands sister, not knowing her
dispositions were to be taken and as
she was not at Ukiah they were not
taken.
But whatever the real facts may be
our prophesy is that Jim Talbot will

The porter unstrapped my box, and this
animated outrage dived his fingers right
down into 1t.
"No cigars, no tobacco
"Oh, no, monsieur" said I, virtuously
shocked at such an idea.
However, he trundled my things about,
and at last espied a tin of tongue which
my mother had bestowed on me.
"Ha," In a tone Of thunder, what Is
thisf'

So he gave me little ticket, with which
had to step up to pigeophole and pay
about fourpence. Then my box was re-
locked and corded and we went to the lit
tie omnibus and started.-Temple Bar.

80 years. It now SHOWS every winter.

In Ohio over three months and usually
sleighing all winter. Ten degrees below
zero was not considered as very cold. Now
there are but few days when the thermome.

the middle states is warmer and that Of
the southern states colder than 1t was q

THE Old FELLOWS AsE STILL IN IT.

There ought to be much consolation
for men OF brains in the manner in
which recent events have brought to
the front three great living examples Of
brainy Gladstone, Bismarck and
Lii Hung Chang.
Gladstone, after sixty years of public
life, abandoned power into the hands of
an energetic. able and wise young
nobleman. No statesman's career was
ever begun under fairer auspices, and
vet, after years struggle, the young
man is broken in health and spirit,
ready to abandon the field and con-
yinced that salvation for his party rests
only in the return of Gladstone to
power.
In Germany only few years have
passed since Bismarck, the Empire
maker, was dismissed in disgrace by the
young Emperor, for whose presump-
tuous mind the world held no unsolved
problems. To-day, making an excuse
Of an affront to Bismarck by that Par.
liamentary majority which he had al
ways opposed and often oppressed, the
young Emperor rushes to the front OF
MI Germany to lead in giving unpre-
cedented honors to the Man OF Blood

Postoffice Department

The Postoffice Department an
nounces that two postoffices have been
named Trilby since that craze set in,
and the officials are afraid there will
soon be forty-four such Offices. The
name was given the Offices on the peti-
ticn of the people patronizing them.
The department does not pass on the
appropriateness of a name, but upon its
eligibility. If it does not conflict with
another Office then the certificate Of
name is usually issued. But there is a
feeling that the Postmaster General
can in some way prevent the Trilby
craze from breaking into the geogra-
phies.
