Sr LOUIS, Mo, May 90 AT to-day's
meeting OF the Missouri Medical asso-
citation Dr. Miller of Macon offered u
resolution requesting the president to
appoint a special committee TO con.
slider the action Of the governor in
removing the Fulton Asylum for tho
Insane from the control of the med
ical profession This was adopted
amid a storm OF enthusiastic hurrahs.
DR.. c. II. Hughes spolss at length on
the subject of the term 'allopath,
and concluded by making a motion to
the effect that 1--WE do resent the term
'allopath. -" The motion carried uan-
imously During his remarks he said
that the word "allopath" was origin
ally applied TO regular" physicians
by the homeopAths and that 1t was an
insult
DIR. f. d. Mooney censured the
clergy by charging that In his practice
he had known clergymen to be guilty
of aiding ip work that was generally
regarded as gravely wrong Details
were entered into and the charges
made SO plain as TO prevent any possi-
bility of Misunderstanding
DR. Mayheld OF St Louis asked DIR.
Mooney to make public retraetion
OF what he had said about the clergy.
Instead OF rstraeting, DR. Mooney re-

During tne last decade school Of
fiction mas been founded in the West
that has become famous because its
members wrote from the standpoint Of
the pessimist, says the Omaha World
Herald. With one or two exceptions
the stories written by the Western lite

bleak prairies," "mortgaged homes, y
''guaRt despair" "howling wolves"
and starving babies" This 10 due in
a measure to demands OF our Eastern
friends who have never been west OF
the Allegheny mountains, bu, who be-
lieve the West to be a fringe OF a
bowling wilderness, and demand that
all stories concerning it shall be
gloomy pictures instead Of the real
photograph. Octave Thanet, William
Allen White and others have written
these gloomy tales. and their success,
from literary stand oint, has inn
pelled others to take up the styl. and
and write stories that are both untrue
and unfair.
This literary school has done much
to iDjnre the West, but until new
school arises and paints life in the
West with some approach OF truth,
the West will have to suffer. There it
enough literary material in the West

West as it exists in fact, and not as II

MOUNTAIN GROVE. Mo, May 20. "A
few miles north Of this city, last
night, mob of about twenty persons
visited the home OF Iige May field and,
not finding the party there whos1 they
sought. set the house afre. Mayteld
saved his house by hard work. The
same mob then visited the house OF
John Mitchell. Finding the house
securely fasa,ned they commenced
firing at the outside. This aroused
Mitchell, his brother Dave and Jack
Coffman, their step-brother.
Mitchell, knowing the intentions OF
the mob. started to get his pistols, but
was riddled with bnllets before he
could reach them. Coffman was also
shot to death before be could get out
Of bed Dave Mitchell was shot
through the head aud arm, and es-
capped deatL only by having his broth
er Johns lifeless body between him
and the window through which the
mob was firing.
That John Mitchell's wife and chill
dren escaped death is almost miracu-
lous, as the wall behind the bed upon
which they were lying was filed with
shot OF all kinds.
II is alleged that the Mitchell
brothers and Coffman belonged 10 3
band OF thieves, and the mob took this
method OF getting rid Of them The
community is highly excited over the
affair and 1t il thought there will be
more trouble
Dave Mitchell acknowledged that he
and his brother had been taken out
and severely whipped by band OF
White Caps only few nights ago and
that they had been warned to leave
the country. Last nights work was
the result Of their not taking this ad-
vice.
The scene inside the house was re.
voting In the extreme. John Mitchell
lay full length across the floor in q
pool OF blood, aud Coffmann upon a
little narrow bed covered with blood
and CRIME, while the house presented
the appearance OF having been turned

been touched, the justices of the peace
claiming they had no authority in the
case and the coroner not having ar

bodies were becoming swollen ant

most atrocious crime that has evei

AS the horses slowly labored up the
zig-zagging road the view along the
silvery Moselle widened and extended
and at last the strong gray walls Of the
castle came into sight with the ample
gates wide open. The horsemen in front
drew up in two lines on each side of
the gates without entering and thus

band, slowly rode first under the arch

On the stone steps that led to the prin-
cipal entrance of the castle stood tall,
graceful lady with her women behind
her. She was robed in black, and the
head dress on her snowy-white hair gave
her the appearance of a dignifed abbess
at her convent door. Her serene and
placid face had undoubtedly once been
beautiful and age, which had left her
form as straight and slender as one of
her own forest pines, forgetting to place
its customary burden upon her graceful
shoulders, had touched her countenance
with "a loving hand. With all her wom-
anliness there was, nevertheless, a GER

that gave evidence of al inc of ancestry
that had not been any too deferential to
those in authority.

from the wooded sides of the opposite

the echo Of the last words Of the invita-
ton, clear and distinct, as if spoken
again by some one concealed in the for

of the fighting archbishop.

slowly. Convey to her my respectful

The leader OF the opposing host sud
denly lowered his appraised sword as if
in salute, but the motion seemed to be
preconcerted signal. for every man be-
hind him instantly whipped blade from
scabbard and stood there with naked
weapon displayed. The leader, raising
his sword once more to its former posi-
ton, repeated in the same loud and
monotonous voice, as if the archbishop
had not spoken:

down the broad stone steps, followed
by her feminine train, and, approaching

his stirrup in mute acknowledgment CT
her vassalage.

The tones were smooth and soothing
as the scarcely audible plash of a dis
tant fountain, but the incident she cited
struck OminOuSly on the archbishop's
recollection, rousing memory and caus-
ing him to dart a quick glance at the
countess, in which was blended sharp
inquiry and awakened foreboding, but
the lady, unconscious of his scrutiny,
stood with dropping head and downeast
eyes her shapely hand still on his STIR

ing herself, making no verbal reply to
his lordship's remark. She then be-
seeched the archbishop to dismount, say
ing something of his need of rest and
refreshment, begging him to allow her
to be his guide to the Ritter Saale.
When the archbishop reached the top
most step that led to the castle door, he
cast an eye, not devoid of anxiety, over
the courtyard to see how his following
had Jared. The gates were now fast
closed, and forty horses were ranged
with their tails to the wall and silent
riders ON their saddles. Rapid as was his
glance, it showed him his guard huddled
together in the center Of the court, his
own black charger with empty saddle
the only living thing among them that
showed no signs of dsmay. Between
two of the hostile horsemen stood his
captain, with doublet torn and his head
gear awry, evidently a discounted pris-
oner. The archbishop entered the
gloomy castle with a sense of defeat
Juggling down his heart to lower level
than he had ever known it to reach be-
fore, for in days gone by, when fate had
seemed to press against him, he had
been in the thick of battle and had felt
an exultation in rallying his half-dis-
couraged followers, who had never
failed to respond to the call of born
leader of men. But here he had to en-
counter silence, with semi-darkness over
his head, cold stone under foot and
