WILSON MURDERED,
 -- THE USUAL END OF A LAWLEss
 CHARACTER. Ike Jones, q Negro, Killed John Wilson With Winchester Rife - The Mnr.
 derer Escaped.

John Wilson, ex-negro politician, ex-depnty sheriff and ex policeman, is dead Six leaden balls thrown through his body from 45-calibre Winches ter rifle, was the immediate cause of his death.
 Wilson and another negro by the name Of Ike Jones were in the em- ploy of rival ferry companies, and for some time the two men have been enemies.
 A few days ago Ike Jones was arrested and fined for violation of city ordinance. He charged Will son with being the cause of his arrest, this made Jones very bitter.
 Thursday afternoon, (yesterday about 4:3o o'clock, Wilson pulled the ferry boat across the river with one passenger, and just as the boat was landing on the opposite side, Ike Jones rode up on white horse, with Winchester rifle in his hand. He jumped from his horse, hitched the animal, and walked toward the ferry boat and called out to Wilson that he was going to kill him. Will son told him that he had done nolh- ing to be killed for. Jones leveled his weapon and advanced towards Will son, who seized his pas senger and attempted to seek sheI- ter behind him. The frightened passenger lay flat down in the bottom of the boat, and Wilson started to- wards Jones on 6 run. The latter snapped his gun at him twice. The third time the gun was discharged and the ball stuck Wilson, but he ntinued to advance, and Jones, retreatihg, fired again This shot broughtWilson to tho ground. Jones then advanced towards his pros trate foe and fired three more balls through lis body He then mount ed bis horse and made his escape, and as yet has not been captured.
 The murdered man has lately served Q term in the penitentiary for shooting 3 man at | meeting of the colored I. Q. Q. F. Lodgein this city. He has been in frequent diff faculties, and his general reputation was not good. His murderer was also bad nigger, for his name is on the books of nearly every magis trate in the city.

SILK HAT AND OvERALLs.
A Little Story OF Street Life Which
Point a Moral.

AAtl1e Story Oh street Lie "n1Cn
Points, a Moral.
Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently two men were walking
briskly. They were dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats,
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention to little things but
also comfortable income.
Both men had alert intelligent faces,
and each looked as if he might be
somebody" The younger man seemed
to be unknown to the majority of those
on the street, but in his companion pc
destrians recognized one whose reputa-
ton is national, and whose picture has
appeared at one time and another in
newspapers all over the country.
At the corner of Cedar street stood a
short, ''chunky" lad, perhaps Is years
old, dressed in overalls and Jumper"
In one hand he carried piece of lead
pipe, in the other a soiled scrap OF
paper. His smutty face had an anxious
look. - = :f:' ....-@'.s' -. s:--!
AS the two well-dressed men reached
the boy he stopped them with: "Say,
boss, kin yer tell me where dis placeis?"
and he held out the scrap OF, paper. IT
been chasin' meself all up an down de
street, an can't hit de combination"
The older man took the paper with a
pleasant smile and said: IT shall be
very glad to help you if I can"
He read the address and saw at once
that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend, waded through
the mud on the crossing, and, with the
plumbers apprentice. at his side,
searched the signs without success.
Then he took the boy to the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the names in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made a mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in overalls put upon the
right track by his distinguished guide
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused, as he turned away, to say in a
somewhat subdued tone: much
'bliged to yer, sir"
The man in the silk hat bowed cour-
teously in acknowledgment, and re-
crossed the street to his waiting friend.
"Seems to me you took good deal
of trouble to set that boy right" was
the younger mans greeting.
1T was good chance to teach him
manners" said the other "Boys like him
are quick to learn. They work hard
and get on fast in business or trade, be-
cause some one corrects them when
they make mistakes. But how can they
learn politeness? They get their man
ners from the people around them. If
everybody's rude to them they must
grow up rude themselves. It seems to
me good deal worse to be impolite to
boy like that than to be impolite to a
man in my own set.'-Youth's Com

Toilet Table NeCessarles.

A sensible girl will not keep lot of cos
me,ics and drugs on her toilet table, but
there are u few articles she would always
have in convenient place.
She should have an array of glass stop
pered bottles, containing alcohol, camphor
giycerine or vascline, alum, borax and am
monia
A little camphor and water should be used
as wash for the mouth and throat If the
breath is not sweet.
Powdered alum appli,d to fever sore
will prevent it from becoming unsightly or
noticeable.
Insect stngs or eruptions on the skin are
relieved by alcohol.
A few grains of alum in tepid water will
relieve those whose hands perspire freely
A few drops Of snlphurc acid in water are
also beneficial for this purpose, rs well as
desirable for washing the fee, when they
perspirc freely.
In addition to the soap for bathing, white
CASTLE should he kept for washing the hair
Occasionally little borax or ammonia may
be used for this purpose, but care sh'dld he
taken in their application, as they are rather
harsh in their effects.
A little fresh cold cream should be kept
on the toilet table during the cold weather
and applied to the lips and hands every
night if the skin seems at all rough o,

Sends sadness to my heart;
The chairs are tangled in maze,
The beds are torn apart

The mirrors are all cracked!

Orchard and Garden,

The time to shape the head Of the tree is
when it is young.
Keep suckers from growing around the
base of the trees
There is no necessity for any kind of shade
in the garden.
All kind of fruit trees, especially the peach
trees should be headed low.
The suds from the wash tub are good
fertilizer to use in the garden.
While sandy soil is best for the peach
it is essential that it be rich.
In selecting trees take those with smooth
hea thy looking bark, with small fibrous
roots.
Prune peach trees in the spring, cutting
off fully half of last years growth.
If trees are planted for wind break care
should be taken to have them of close
growing habit.
If not done in the earlier part of the win
ter, it is not too late yet to mulch the straw
berries. 1t will protect the fruit.
One advantage in having fruits growing
on we'll drained land is that the fruits will
come to maturity earlier.
If the trees are washed in the spring with
strong soapsuds or I've, many insect pests
will be destroyed.
With seeds that are slow to terminate in
the garden it will often be good plan to
SOW few radish seed.
