CLAYTON
MURDER.
A Sensational Letter Recalling Are
kansas Celebrated Case.
DECLARES he CAN PROVE GUILT
A Man Signing Himself Luther Atkins
Writes to Governor Jones Declaring
He Can Locate the Assassin Of
Hon. John M. Clayton.

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 1s.-The mem
oryof the most famous crime committed
in Arkansas-the assassination of Hon.
John NJ. ~Clayton-has been revived by
the receipt of a letter by Governor Jones
from Pits, Ga, from a person signing
the name of Luther Atkins. The writer
of the letter recalls the circumstances,
inquiries about rewards and states that
he a locate the murderer and produce
proof Of guilt.
The murder Of John NJ. Clayton win
be remembered by politicians and pub
lie men all over the United states.
Clayton was a brother Of Hon. Powell
Clayton, the present UPited States min
lister to Mexico. He was the Republic
can candidate for congress in 1889, his
opponent being Hon. Clifton S. Breck-
inridge, late ambassador to Russia.
The canvas was a spirited one, and
the contest was bitter. Breckenridge
was declared elected, and Clayton filed
a contest. While this contest was in
progress Mr.. Clayton went to Plum
merville to look after his interests
there. While in his room one night
just before preparing to retire an as
sassin crept up i'm the dark and fired
a load of buckshot through the window
Of his room, ynhicting wounds from
which he died.
The murder created a sensation all
over the United States. Detectives were
employed and worked diligently on the
case, many persons were suspected of
the crime, but the murderer went un-
punished. Many times since then the
memory of the crime has been revived
by the discovery Of some new clew, but
the assassination had almost been for
gotten when the letter from Atkins once
more brought the terrible affair into
public notice. The legislature nice Of
fered a reward Of 5000 for the con
viction of the murderer, and the reward
is probably vet i'm force.

Neal Dow.

49,
General Neal Dow, ''The father of
proh,b.,ion," died at his home in Port.
laud, Maine, Saturday, October 9, in the
ninety fourth year of his age. His last
words we're, Il am very weary; l long to
be free"
His entire life has been devoted to the
cause Of temperance and prohibition,
which he espoused when Intoxicating
liquor was deemed Us Indispensable to
the health and happiness of man as
-four, aud when st was as much a mat
ter of course for employers Of labor to
furnish it to their employees as to pay
them wages, and the town bell was rung
twice daily, at eleven q. M, ard four p.
NJ, as a notice to laborers to take their
DRAM"
The task Neal Dow set himself vas to
reverse pablo opinion, founded in the
custom of centuries, and to crystalline
his new sentiment into the law of the
land.
Miss Willard says: His work is
more appreciated by the temperance
people Ut England than it has yet come
to be by his own countrymen. "The
United Kingdom Alliance" which is the
greatest temperance power on the other
side, WAS founded as the result of his
devoted labors. He visited England
twice, and gave hundreds OF lectures in
all parts Of the country, making no
charge whatever for his services aad
wearing himself out 10 such q degree
that in spite OF his splendid physique
and robust health, Re was obliged to
seek rest in the famous water cure at
Malvern.
1.-THE world will appreciate its debt to
him when his figure is seen the more
clearly in the perfection Of time. He
was one of the few soldiers of Goo whose
heroic battles will render the century
illustrious.
III he had turned his intellectual acu
men and rare sagacity into the channels
Of a merely political life, he undoubtedly

TRIED TO KILL SMITH.
Dynamite Outrage at the NATIONAL

Dynamite Outrage at the National
Soldiers Home mt LeavenvOrth.
LeavanWOrth, Kan, June PA dia-
bolical attempt was made upon the
life Of Gov. Andrew J. Smith, of the
national soldiers home, and his wife
and daughter, by some bastard who is
yet unknown. Dynamite was en-
ployed in the outrage, and the ex-
plosion. which all but demolished the
governors beautiful residence, aroused
the residents of the city, and houses
trembled as if undergoing an earth
quake shock. Mrs. Smith had a mi
raculous escape from death, the base
Of the explosion being directly under
her bed chamber. Beside being cut
and bruised by broken glasses and
furniture, she was completely pros
trated by the frightful shock, and is
now in a precarious condition. Gov.
Smith and his daughter, Miss Daisy.
occupied rooms on the second floor,
and were far enough removed from
the explosion to escape the serious con-
sequences suffered by Mrs. Smith.
Joseph W. Oliver, a dishororably
discharged veteran, has been arrested
by the police. Evidence against him
is strong. He had just come to- his
room after being out all night. His
clothes were bedraggled, and he said
he was sorry the explosion had not
killed the governor, as he deserved
such a fate. Oliver bears a rough rep
utatiOn.
