AN EX-CONvICTS REVENGE
A Missouri Penitentiary officer Shot
by F. G. Norville-Lay All
Night in Ambush.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, June 5.-Om-
Ger Zera Rayburn of the Missouri PEN
itentiary was shot and probably SER
iously injured at about 5 O'Clock this
morning by F. G. Norville, a convict,
released from the penitentiary yester-
day.
For some infraction of the prison
rules, Rayburn, who has charge of the
dining hall, mad Norville punished
yesterday morning by being tied to a
post. At noon he was released from
the penitentiary. He bought a shot
gun from a gunsmith, loaded it with
No. 4 shot and hid himself nea the
house of Rayburn.
At about s O'Clock this morning, as
the officer stepped through his yard
gate to the sidewalk, Norville fired at
him. He was about sixty yards dis
tant and the shot scattered, striking
him in the head, breast and abdomen.
DIR. j. l.. Thorpe was called and
dressed the wounds. The wound in
the abdomen appears to be the most
serious and may give trouble. Nor
vile fed at once. Sheriff Some placed
his bloodhounds on the trail and Off
GERS Bruno and Starke assisted in the
search.
The hounds had some little difficulty
in following the trail, but they were
following when Stark and Bruno found
Norville, about five miles east of the
city. He made no resistance and is
now in jail. He was sent up from st.
Charles county for two years for grand
larceny, which term expired at noon
yesterday.

MISSOURI SUFFERERS ASK AID
Survivors of the Storm at Seneca Must
Have Assistance.

SENECA, Mo-, June 3.-Each day re-
veals great distress among the people
here as the result of the cloudburst,
and immediate aid is imperative. The
following appeal has been made for
assistance and a response is hoped
for:
GA personal house-to-house canvass
in the flooded district reveals eighteen
deaths by drowning and acondition of
horror that words are inadequate to
describe. In this town of 1900 inhabi-
tanrs many homes were invaded with
from two to six feet of water. In
nearly every instance the household
effects were ruined and every vestige
of the family's provisions destroyed:
Fifty-six houses were washed from
their foundations and partly or totally
wrecked, and seven out of this num-
Der went down stream with all their
contents, a total loss. No fewer than
fifty families r temporarily home
less and dependent on neighborly
charity for something to eat. One
hundred thousand dollars would be
inadequate to repair the damage. In
the light of these facts we appeal to
our more fortunate neighbors for
prompt aid, that restitution may be
relieved and an epidemic of sickness
ayerted,

compound, and it gives me great
pleasure to state that l at once began
to feel its beneficial results.

NOT GEORGE TAYLOR.
Missouri Sheriffs' Fruitless Trip to
Kentucky.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 4.-Mar-
shall j. B. Keshlear has returned from
Wilhamstown, KY, where he went
with Sheriff E. B. Allen, of Linn
County, in answer to a telegram re-
ceived by Sheriff Allen in this city
stating that George Taylor, the fugi-
tive Linn County murderer of the
Meeks family, was there.
The telegram was sent by R. F.
Lemon, an employee of a bank at Will
Jamestown.
About two weeks ago a strange
man arrived in Williamstown, 80 miles
south of Cincinnati. He was almost
penniless, and a blacksmith, taking
pity on him, loaned him some tools
with which to go to work for a man
making wicker bottoms for chairs.
The mans strange conduct was the
talk of the town, and on Thursday,
May p, Mrs. A. o. French, of Kansas
City, a visitor at Williamstown, hav-
ing become interested in him, walked
to the little shop where he was at
work. He avoided looking at her,
but she seemed anxious to get a
glimpse of his face and did not leave
without obtaining it.
That night he Left town.
By inquiry the officers found that
the man answered Taylor's descrip-
ton save that his complexion was
dark. The real Taylor has fair skin.
The counterfeit was left handed, while
Taylor is known to be right-handed.

REACHED FOR PISTOLS.
Two Exciting Episodes in the Con-
vention Hall.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June AT two
junctures in the conventions proceed
ing this morning serious personal en-
counters were threatened. In the
course of his speech against being I'M
seated, Capt. II. L. Stone, of Louis
vile, severely criticised Jack Chinn
and Jim Williams, two of Blackburn's
supporters at Frankfort last winter.
Chinn and Eph Lillard plunged to-
ward Stone and a score or more OF
Kentucky gentlemen reached for their
hip-pockets, but the police seized
Chinn and Lillard and set them down.
Stone did not cease speaking during
this excitement. When he had finish
ed Williams arose to reply to him and
called him a coward. Again a number
of Kentucky gentlemen reached for
their hip pockets. Chairman Bron-
ston adroitly checked the incipient
riot by declaring Williams out of order.
The convention then resumed bust

A GOLD WATCH
And Chain Found in a Can of Toma-
toes.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 4.-While
the family of w. s. O'Brien, of West
Indianapolis, were watching the good
wife prepare supper last evening they
we're startled by her exclamation as
she drew a handsome gold cham and
seal from a can of tomatoes which she
had just opened. Further investiga-
ton disclosed a beautiful gold watch,
evidently belonging to a lady. To-
day the watch was overhauled by a
ieweler and set running as merrily as
eve The acid of the tomatoes had
gived it the color of silver, which was
removed with difficulty, and then a
name engraved upon the lid was dis
closed.
The watch proved to be the proper
ty of Miss Cora Roberts, of North In
dianapolis, and was dropped by her
last fall while visiting the factory in
that suburb witnessing the canning
of fruit. A ring which connected the
watch with the chain had evidently
dissolved. AS the watch is a souv-
enir, its recovery is the more highly
priced,

PopuIist State Convention at Sedalia

Populist State Convention at Sedalia.
A. Rozelle, Chairman of the State
Committee of the Peoples party, has
issued the call for the State Conven-
ton, to be held July 30.
Chairman Rozelle says that he al
ready has assurances of an attendance
of over 1000 at the convention. Seven
hundred delegates will be elected and
nearly all will be present.
One feature of the convention will
be the organization of wagon tours
from various counties, not so much be-
cause of any antagonism of Populists
to railroads, as because of their natur-
al inclination toward outdoor life and
the fact that such means of tranporta-
ton is readily at hand to a majority of
the members of the party. Many will
camp out, both on the road and at Sc
dalia.
Chairman Rozelle declares that all
talk of a possible combination of Pop
| uIists and Democrats In this State is
unfounded.

my sl~eeplessness and headaches ceas-

insidious hold on me that the grip had

Physicians who rely on tPaine's
celery compound-as thousands of
the most wide-awake members of the
profession are doing, especially now
that nearly every n feels the need
of a genuine summer remedy-physi-
clans know very we'll what that
languor and that tired feeling means.
They know that debility to-day often
results in nervous p~rostration to-
morrow, unless the tired system is
quickly invigorated.
That is why all over the country to-
day Paine's celery compound is being
taken by the advice of skilled physi-
clans. 1t is the one remedy that ply
sicians al conscientiously call a
genuine summer remedy. Try it.
