SHOT BY A BOY.

A dispatch from Carson, New, says
The entire State was startled and shock.
ed at the murder, late yesterday AFTER
noon, of Charles A. Jones, United
States district attorney, by Julian Gui-
nsn, the sixteen year.old son OF well
known local physician.
The statement of the youth, who is
now in jail, is to the effect that imme.
diately prior to the shooting he had OBJ.
served his sister talking to Jones, with
whom his father had forbidden associa
ton, when he saw DR.. Guinan ap.
preaching. Believing trouble to be in
evitable when the two men should meet,
the boy procured Winchester rifle,
and stationed himself at window, for
the purpose, as he says, of protecting
his father.
Upon encountering Jones, DR.. Gui-
nan said: "This is the last time
| shall ever warn you against
keeping company with my daugh-
ter" Jones jeered at the doctor in
comment upon his warning, and slipped
his hand into his right hand pocket.
Julian states that, having often heard
his father threaten to kill Jones, and
having been informed that the district
attorney always carried a revolver,
which he believed, from Jones' motion,
was about to be drawn, the boy fred at
Jones, in anticipation of an attack up.
on his father. Jones fell forward dead,
the bullet from the rifle having entered
above bis right eye and passed out the
neck behind. Miss Guinan, seeing Jones
fall, threw herself upon him and EN-
braced the dead body. When the coro-
ner took charge of the remains Jones's
hand was still in his pocket, but no
weapon was found.
Jones was about thirty.tbree years
old, was married, aud left a widow and
child at his home, in Reno, whence
he came yesterday morning on official
business. He was necessarily in Carson
a part of his time, and while there his
attentions to the girl occasioned so
much talk that DR.. Guinan had been
aggravated into making threats against
Jones, which indirectly led to the muir.
der by the Doctors son.

THE RECENT democratic victories
seem to have melted the Northern
South.haters to fresh attacks upon
Southern school histories, because these
books don't teach the children of this
section that their grsndfathers did not
take up arms to defend their fresides
and the rights guaranteed them by
the Constitution, framed and adopted
by their ancestors, and were not traitors
and rebels against the "best govern
ment on earth" Intelligent and IN
preiudiced men of all the States, even
those of the North, now conceive
that the South, though possibly unwise,
was perfectly justified by the Constitu-
ton in the part it took during the war
between the States, and the Northern
South. haters referred to may rest as
sured that Southern school histories
will always teach the children of the
South that their grandfathers knew
their rights, and had the courage to de
fend them to the death.

WHILE the use Of tobacco is I'm.
questionably disagreeable to many o.
those who do not Use it, it has become
so common now that is has ceased to
be looked upon as vice, and with q
large number of people is necessary.
OF all forms in which it is consumed,
certainly that of the cigarette is the
least Objectionable to the non-consum.

THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. IL 1897
AT THE meeting of the national
"Sound Money League" in New York

AT THE meeting of the national
"sound Money League" in New York
last Tuesday, the letters and reports re-
c,iyed, and the speeches made, were to
the general effect that prosperity has
arrived, but that should "any thing un-
fortunate happen, silver would regain
its old time strength very rapldly.'
Why people should attempt to deceive
Others, having just as good sense as
themselves, in such matter as this,
is wondrous strange. Every intelll'
gent man, with open eyes, knows that
prosperity has not been revived, but
that, on the contrary, times are even
"harder" now than they have been
values have deprecated, work is scarcer,
ard money more difficult to obtain, and
the result of the elections last week
proves conclusively, to every dislnter'
ested and unparalleled mind, that the
feeling in favor of silver is stronger
now than it ever was before. Because
some men with money want the pur
chasing power thereof increased, is
certainly not a good reason for max.
ing themselves ridiculous.

AS GENERAL WALKER is as much, if
not more, opposed to the four other
members of the executive committee OF
his party, than Colonel Lamb ever was,
it would not be at all surprising if the
majority of that committee were to
treat him as they did Colonel Lamb
remove him and appoint less recalci-
traut member in his place. The Gen.
eral was kicker when a member of
the democratic party. and those who
know him do not wonder that he OBJ
