lief. As it is now, it is so widely ac-
cepted as true that national politicians

Mr.. Harrison's opponents, who were
his supporters in his first campaign and
knew and revered Mrs. Harrison, say
the ex-President viii find the marriage
not a clever political move.
The HarrisOns are Presbyterians.
When the ex-President has been in the
city he and Mrs. DimmOck have been
regular attendants al morning service,
and have listened TO the Rev. Dr.. John
Halls sermons. Mrs. Dimmock's
friends regard the marriage as eminent
ly suitable. No one can be found
among the Harrison connection who
will deny the approaching marriage.

villagers, cornered and, when ne made
resistance, hlled with bullets, causing
his death. One Of the pursuers also
was shot.
Farmer Clapsaddle lived a mile south
of The village with his wife, daughter
and a grandchild, u years old, the son
of the murderer. Smith was a disso-
Lutte character, who spent what money
he could get for whisky. He had mar
RED the eldest daughter of the Clap
saddles, and she had separated from
HIM on account of his dissipation, and
Smith had always blamed his father
in-law for the estrangemenr. Yester-
day Smith came into the Clapsaddle
homestead, where the old man sat read
ing his paper, and, without provocat,on
drew a revolver and shot Clapsaddle
through the head. C.apsaddle died
soon after the arrival of a doctor.
"A posse was fOrmsd, with a deputy
sheriff at the head. to hunt down the

with the intention of committing an
other crime. He was armed with a re-
volver and had his pockets filled with
cartridges The posse was composed
of over half a hundred men. When
Smith saw The posse he made for the
house of a man named Brown, and as
he entered the door he turned and.

the house, when Brown, coming 10 the
door, told them that Smith was hiding
in one Of the closets. Thereupon Ell
mer Clapsadd,e, a relative Of the mur-
dered man, cried to Smith to come out
and surrender. Smith responded with
a bullet, which entered Clapsaddle's
wrist. This aroused the crowd, and
they poured the contents of their guns
through The walls of the house at short
range INTO the spot where Smith was
evidently standing. There was a sound
as of falling body which showed the
shots had taken effect Smith was
found to be fatally injured, bleeding
from dozen wounds.

Berlin. January 1.-THE quarrel be-
tween Emperor William and Prince
Frederick Leopold, OF Prussia, arising
out of the latter's treatment OF his
wife. while she was suffering from the
effects of immersion in the water, hay
ing fallen through the ice while skat-
ing. is much talked OF. The Prince
was arrested and confined under guard
in his palace but no newspaper here
dares to take the risk OF publishing all
the facts in the case.
II is stated the Prince had a violent
altsrcation wiJl the Princess and that
he even used a hOrsewhip upon her.
As the Princess IS a sister Of the En-
nress. il Is not astonishing that En-
y ror William was very angry. Prince
Frederick Leopold, who was born in
1865. and who is a major general and
commander of the Grades du Corps. Is
very unpopular. On.y when a young
officer. he narrowly escaped being tried
by court martial. He has always been
on bad terms with the Emperor and is
very wealthy.
