The startling information reached the
city late yesterday evening that Ed.
Reed had killed Zeke and Dick
Crittendon at Wagner, I. T. The
facts as given were meagre but were In
substance that Dick and Zeke had
ridden into town drunk and began
shooting recklessly, and that Reed, In
attempting to arrest Dick, had to shoot
him, which he did. A little later Reed
walked into the telegraph Office and
began writing q message to the
marshal office here informing them Of
what had occurred. While thus en-
gagged q shot rang out and q bullet
whistled near him. It came from Zeke
Crittendon's 8 weapon on the outside.
Reed then took shot or two at him and
laid him ut.-Fort Smith Times.

In ancient times, we have read, that
men of high degree were wont to enter
tain themselves by calling before them
dancing girls, dressed In gaudy array,
who would "trip the light fantastic -
to the sound Of the cymbal, for the
pleasure Of their lord and his guests
while they sat at meat, but we had
thought that in this modern time the
custom had become obsolete. Not so,
however. On Monday afternoon Col.
Alvis Smith, with Messrs. Jack White
and Tanning Miles as guests, revived
the former custom and introduced, for
the pleasure Of his guests, the Hughes
family, who performed before these
hiRh potentates as did the dancing girls
of old, to the tune of 'Dinah g Got .

is useless to say that the entertainment
was enjoyed. Venture.

in trade of this kind brings no relief to

1T was predicted when the Chinese
Japanese war began that it's effects was
likely to be very considerable in ad-
vancing the cause of Christianity in both
empires. This prediction seems destined
to a large fulfllment. The success of
Japan makes it imperative upon China
to resort to the Western methods of
organization of its army and navy to pre-
vent similar disasters in it's future wars
with Japan or other powers. This means
a vastly increased intercourse with repre-
sentatives of Christian nations, and the
presence of many more citizens of the
latter in the Celestial kingdom. The
war cannot but have forced upon the most
conservative but intelligent Chinese mind
the fact that his country is not in many
respects the model for others which he
has been accustomed to regard it, and
that there are many things which it car
profitably initiate foreign nations in. Ot
course, all this means more tolerant
treatment for Christian foreigners as wei
as for their ideas generally, and the path
way of the missionary will become cor
respondingly easier.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-Theodore
Durant keeps his nerves under excellent
control. During his waking hours he pro.
tests his innocence and gives little sign of
trepidation, even when undergoing severe
ordeals of examination and accusation.
His calmness is characterized as cold
blooded by physicians. His slumbers,
however, are not so peaceful. Since his in
carceration he has not passed an hour in
quiet sleep. When he closes his eyes he
invariably becomes the victim Of night
mare, and groans and cries in terror. Dur
ing the inquest yesterday, though damag-
ing evidence was presented against him,
he betrayed no evidence OF weakness.
