NOTED MURDER RECALLED.
A Man in Georgia Says He Can
Locate the Murder of Hon.
Jno. NJ. Clayton.

The memory of the most
famous crime committed in
Arkansas-the assassination of
the Hon. John M. Clayton, has
been revived by the receipt of a
letter by Governor Jones, witt
ten from Pitts, Ca, by person
signing the name of Luther
Atkins The writer Of the letter
recalls the circumstances, in>
quires about rewards and states
that he can locate the murderer
and produce proof of guilt. The
murder OF John NJ. Clayton will
be remembered by politicians
and public men all over the
United States. Clayton, was a
brother of the Hon. Powell Clay
ton, the present United States
Minister to Mexico. He was the
Republican canidate for Con-
gress in 1889, his opponent be-
ing the Hon. Clifton K. BreCh1n-
ridge, late am bassador to Russia.
The canvass was a spirited one.
Breckenridge was declared elect
ed and Clayton filed a contest.
While this contest was in pre-
gress Clayton went to Plummer>
Vile to look after his interests
there. While in his room one
night, an assassin fired a load of
buckshot through the window,
inhicting wounds from which
lie died. The Legislature at once
offered a reward of $1,000 for
the conviction of the murderer
and the reward is probably yet
in force.

Pullman Boys Have Gone To
Work.

George NJ, Pullman, j.. ard
his brother Sanger are deter
mined to win their spurs, and
SLOW to the world that there is
good stuff in them. Their faiths
er'S will cut them off with an
allowance of S. 900 a year each,
but it was given out that if they
showed to the satisfaction of the
other members Of the family
that they had business ability
and were willing to attend to
business. drop their bad habits
and make the kind of men their
father wished them to be, that
they would come in for a shal e
of the large estate.
This will has changed the
lives of the young men. They
had a long conference with Rob>
ert 7. Lincoln, who plainly told
them what was expected of
them. The result is that the
young NEIL have gone to work
for the Pullman company in
positions but little removed
from that of the laborers. They
are doing yard work at present,
and the pay is small, George
receiving about $50 per month
and Sanger s45.
They have to take things as
they come, do not have any
precedence over any other ems
ployee, 1nnst obey the rules as
we'll as the others, and will re-
ceive promotions in their turn.
They told Mr.. Lincoln that
they proposed to begin at the
bottom of the ladder and work
up, the same as other employees
of the company.-MdIanaPOh

NOT A WIDOW AS SHE
THOUGHT.
Mrs. {. c. Baily was Trying to
Collect Insurance When She
Found That Her Husband
Was Alive.

Mrs. {. c. Bailey, Of Bruins
wick. Ga. has discovered that
she IS not widow, as she sup
posed.
A few weeks ago she was in
mourning for her husband and
began proceedings to collect
$500 insurance on his life.
The proofs of death were made
out and forwarded to the agents
of the Equitable and the New
York Life Companies. Mr.. Bal
ley had policy for $4,000 in
the Equitable and one for IS 900
Ill the New York Lite. The
proofs did not satisfy the COM
panies. Two afidavits were at
tached from citizens of Bruins
wick, stating that they were out
i'll boat with Bailey; that the
boat capsized they saw him
sink and rise once. After he
sunk the second time they did
not see him again.
One weak point in the case is
that the body never came to the
surface as far as could be dis
covered. Watermen said that if
a man had been drowned where
the boat capsized the body would
be thrown upon the
shore Mrs. Bailey believed
her husband dead. and despaired
of ever hearing from him again.
But the insurance companies did
not lose hope. A few days ago
they received letters stating that
Mr.. Bailey was :alive in Chatta-
uooga, and that the claim for
the payment of the policies
would be withdrawn. TO day !
the widow writes that she has
positive information that her
husband is alive.

DOWN ON FOOTBALL.
The Governor of Arkansas De
nounces the Sport.

The Governor OF Arkansas Is
the first chief magistrate to dis
approve of the game at football.
In letter 10 J. L. buchanan, OF
the State University ut Fayette
vile, Governor Jones takes the
recent game between the Fort
Smith and State University
teams as his text, and strongly
condemns the Sport as brutal
and recommends that there be a
stop put altogether to the
playing Of the game by the stu
dents of the State University.
The Governor is ex-ofiicio Pres
ident Of the State University
board of trustees. In his letter
to Mr. Buchanan, Gov. Jones
says:
II think the game Of football,
as DOW played, is brutal sport,
fraught with much danger to
those playing it, and altogether
out of harmony with a proper
educational system. III tact, it
has been so notoriously so that
bills have been introduced in
the Legislature of several states
and passed by at least one of
them, to make it unlawful.
"In my opinion, the higher
civilization which we profess,
is entirely inconsistent with the
liberation of such a game, and
therefore, it being expedient to
call a meeting of the board of
trustees, | deem 1t my duty to
call your attention to this mat
-er, and respectfully suggest
that you put stop altogether
20 the playing of this game by
he students of the State Uni.
1ersity. The best interests Of
he University. / think, clearly
demand this, and | hope you
will take this matter at once in
@ serious consideration"

Purity of Speech.

Nothing SO strongly indicate.
the man of pure and Wholesome
thoughts as habitual purity o
speech. ~ his conversation
among his own kiud. YOU may
always accurately tolm IN opin.
ION as to the moral worth of q
man. II Is there. where on res,
traint is supposed to be placed
upon his words, that you discover
his true nature. If he be given
to looseness of discourse, or his
mind wauders to the discussion
subjects prescribed in mixed
company or respectable society,
you may justly mark him as one
with whom association is un-
desirable.
The individual whose mouth
is ever full Of indelica:e illusions
or whose tongue is ever ready
tripping to give a good round
oath, is by no means a person TO
value as a friend.
If man reflect, after vomiting
forth an-obscene expression or
disgusting blasphemy, he must
feel his self-respect shocked, if
habitual profanity or obscenity
have not already destroyed it
entirely. An observing person
cannot fail to note with feelings
akin to horror the prevalence of
the vice that We condemn among
not only grown persons, but the
youth in Our thoroughfares and
on our street corners, often with
i'll the hearing of the most SELL
sitive and refined females, some
times even levelled at the ears
of young ladies and young girls
on their way to and from school
and other places,
Another of the causes, and a
most potent cause, of the growth
and extent of this evil, is the
introduction in magazine articles
OF newspaper reports, Opportunity
and the careless habits of authors
and actors in stage plays, where
they aim to give strength or
emphasis to their intrinsically
weak creations or conditions by
coarse OK profane epithets, inter-
iections or illusions.
These violat ons of decency
and sense, added to the polluting
pictorials that are shamclessly
displayed and sold from every
newsvender's shop Or stall, are
exerting an influence on the
thoughts and passions of our
people, young and old, whose
are i'll the highest
degree deleterious to the growth
of those qualities which make
good men and women i'll society,
as we'll as good citizens in civil
life.

factory was burned last Wednesday after
noon. 1t was Il small building separated

draw off some OF the cement from a barrel
and lit match to see if his can was full.
Instantly there was an explosion. Remick
escaped with burned hand and singed
eyebrows.
The building was soon in flames
There were stored in it four barrels OF
cement and quantity of oil and napht ha
The barrels burst, and the burning oil
made very stubborn fire for he fremen
They succeeded in contning the fire to

The loss on building and contents
principally on the cement, which is
quite expensive is estimated at 1900.

Greatly to the regret of the meeting,
Mr.. Yale said he would be obliged to de-
cline serving as president, but assured
every body that while his heart was in the
work, his time was so occupied that it
would be impossible for him to serve.

dent
Mr.. Hunt gave an outline ef what the
managers of the festival expected OF the
chorus. 1t was voted to adjourn subject
to the call Of the executive committee,
