A SHOCKING LOVE TRAGEDY.
Man shoots Himself and His Sweetheart
Takes Poison.

Senior Clodomiro May torena, "a widely
known and popular young man residing
in the capital of Sonora, Mexico, had
been engaged some time TO Senorita
Amparo Ynigo, the daughter of an
equally aristocratic and wealthy family.
Another sutton began paying attention
to the young woman, and the new as
pirant for her hand found greater favor
in the eyes of her stepmother than did
young Maytorena, and the latter was
notified to cease paying his visits. The
young woman then took to meeting him
at the residence of a mutual friend.
The stepmother, learning this, locked
her up at home. The young man then
called upon the stepmother and gave her
severe lecture. The stepmother then
laid the matter before mutual friend,
who is prominent official, and he
called at the residence of young May
torena's father and called the young
man to account.
The latter listened patiently to what
his censor had to say and then said to
him that, being under his own roof, he
would not violate the laws of hospitality
by resenting there what had been said
| to him, but that he should certainly do
so whenever he met him ON the street.
The same evening he met the man and
made good his word. The man with
whom young Maytorena had this diff
Guilty took steps toward having him ar
rested.
Maytorena went home and informed
his father of the situation, who advised
him to submit to the arrest, promising
to secure his immunity from punish
nent. The following morning police
men presented themselves at the May
torena mansion to carry out the orders
of arrest The head of the house went
to his son. room, told he was wanted,
advising him to go and cautioning him
against doing anything rash. The father
left the room, and the next instant ht
heard two shots. Turning back, hi
found his son in death agony ON the
floor. He had taken two pistols, one IL
each hand, pressed each to his temple
and fired, the balls crossing the cours'
of each other in his brain. When thu

AFTER TWELVE YEARS.
A Spanish Statesman Has an Imposing
Funeral.

A Spanish Statesman Has an Imposing
Funeral.
Spain is indeed a queer country with
regard to the burial of its great person
ages. Thus the famous Field Marshal
Serano, duke de la Tore, who, after
being prime minister Of Queen Isabella,
became president of the Spanish repub-
lie, regent of the kingdom after the
abdication of King Amadeus and then
once more prime minister of King Al
fonso, whom he practically placed on
the throne, has only recently been bur-
led, and that with considerable military
pomp and ceremony, as befitted his
rank. Yet he died % years ago, within
few hours of the late King Alfonso,
who is almost universally believed to
have been his son, and who bore to
him most striking resemblance.
Had it not been for the practically
simultaneous death of King Alfonso
Serano would have received at the
time a magnificent state funeral. But
as it was his corpse was merely tempo
rarily placed in the vaults of one of the
Madrilene churches without any fuss
whatsoever, the obsequies OF the king
monopolizing all public attention. Peo-
pie are quickly forgotten nowadays,
and the embalmed corpse of the mar
shall was permitted to remain thus I'M
buried without any of the ceremonies
of the church having been performed
over it until the other day, when the
queen regent attention having by mere
chance been called to the matter she at
once issued a royal decree ordering a
magnificent state funeral for the mar
shall. Chicago Record.

Shower Of Frnga.

A traveller from Fort Ogden declared
he passed through an avalanche frogs
yesterday, 1t had been raining terri
bly, for three days and the day before
yesterday there was almost a cloudburst
in this county, the rain coming down
for four days in almost solid sheets.
This man started out and on the way he
passed through section where for two
miles the frogs literally covered the
ground. The road was covered and the
ground in the woods as far as could be
seen on either side, They were crush
ed beneath his horses feet as he rode
along,
There were three kinds or sizes, most
of them being the green so-called stree
frogs" so abundant here. The small
ones were about an inch long. the 9TH
ers being two and three inches. There
were millions of them and the noise
they made was deafening.
1t is the general opinion that the
cloud-burst brought them. This is the
first time that this thing has ever hap
pened in this section and the people az,
greatly excited oyer it.-JacksonviIlt

New York Fashion Letter

Up to this time we have had great
deal of color in our gowns and combi-
nations which heretofore were consid-
cred far too gay for street wear. Vic
let and red has perhaps been the most
odd combination, white blue and green,
ceries and purple, black and gold, have
attracted their own share of notice,
Now that the weather has settled and
become permanently warm, such com
binations as these are almost entirely
abandoned and drove gray and yellow,
slate gray aud pale pink, blue and
white lavender and corn color hold
sway in the soft materials for extreme
ly warm weather. A large variety Of
shades in green are worn, sometimes
two or three shades in one gown, and
often one shade combined with cream,
white or linen.
Almost all of thin balistes, dimities
lawns, swiss and linens are made over
colored slips, trimmed with ribbons
the same color as the slip or contrasting
shade. AS silk is rather expensive FOL
these summer gowns, the stores art
showing large variety of lawns il
solid colors, which make cool ant
durable lining. Some skirts have thu
outside materials cut away to max,
curved or pointed yoke effects, leaving
the plain lining for the yoke. This i
often outlined with a band of lace, in
sertion, or two inch wide ribbon gath
cred in the center to make a doubl
ruffie.
The skirts are trimmed around tn
bottom quite little. Three and fou
narrow ruffles, either double or single
, with lace at both edges, make a prett
finish for thin dresses. The travelling
gowns are sometimes trimmed with bi
as bands of the goods. Some of thes
are graduated, the narrow ones bein
near the top, while others use inc
wide bands altogether.

Five men formed themselves into a
lynching party and strung up negro
who had stolen horse, In their haste
they failed to tie. his hands, and, hear
ing noise as of a party approaching,
they decamped and left the negro
swinging.
That swinging motion brought him
in close proximity to the tree, which he
encirculed with his arms, climbed tc
the limb from which he was suspended,
cut himself down and went home tc
supper. He subsequently said to his
wife:

The Country Printer.

1t is mistake that the country print
or was ever born. He is useless en-
cumberer Of the ground and he ought
to be called upon to give an excuse for
living. He publishes resolutions of
coincidence, obituary poetry, gives 81
worth of local notices for two % cent
festival tickets, and in return is con-
sidered dead beat. He takes abuse
by the cord and seldom talks back. He
writes feeling tributes to the dead, ele-
Yates man of Office, booms everything
that booms in town, leaves his own
business to look after the business OF
the public. Is a pail bearer at funerals,
is groomsman at weddings, writes the
marriage notice free, while the preacher
is paid; works for his party late and
early. When he wants a postofice they
put head on him. When the cry of
economy is raised he is the first to get
it in the neck. If times are hard stop
the paper but keep the tobacco supply
up. If state is in debt, by having
appropriated too much money at some
other time, knock the prices on the
sherifSs sales and original notices.
Spare the lawyer, the preacher, the
doctor, the carpenter, the shoemaker,
the shoveler, but carve the country
publisher. His business was invented
by the devil, he has no business to live,
no right to hope for reward. His re-
ward may be in heaven, it is certainly
not here; it's his business to make 9TH
