The powers do not doubt that the
humanitarian and purely disinter-
ested character of this representa-
ton will be fully recognized and
appreciated by the American ma

Notorious Desperate Of the Southwest
Shot Down by Officers.
Dick West, member of the Jennings
gang of outlaws and one Of the most no
torious desperadoes Of the Southwest, was
killed south of Guthrie, O. Il. Officers
had been on the watch for him for some
time and located him in camp one recent
night. At daylight a lively battle en-
sued, and he was shot a dozen times be-
fore he gave up. West was formerly
cowboy and Indian scout, then became
member of the Doolin gang, Joined the
Dick Wyatt gang, and after Wyatts
death he helped organize the Jennings
gang. He was an expert horse thief and
highwayman and engineered the hold-up
of the Santa Fe train at Edmond last
summer and the Rock Island at Chicasha,
as we'll as scores of ordinary hold-ups and
town raids. Rewards aggregatlng $2,lOU
were outstanding for his capture dead or
alive. He has been hunted longer than
any other outlaw in the Southwest, had
been in q dozen battles with officers, but

Outlaw, Dick West, Shot by Officers.
Trade as Seen by Dun.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says: 'When everybody is asking
whether it is to be war OF peace the state
of business is not easy to judge. Since
nobody can judge just how wise bankers
may be in an emergency, there is some
uncertainty, but thus far scarcely any
stoppage wha tever of manufacturing con-
Germs appears nor any indications that tie
producing force is likely to be diminished,
nor is any such symptom to be seen In
business reports Disasters in trade shown
this week by separate branches of bust
ness for the month of March and also
the first quarter Of 1893 make the best
report that has been possible for five
years. 1t is interesting to note that near
1y all branches of business show surprts-
ing movement. Meanwhile banks are
extremely cautious, and commercial loans
are but 10 per cent Of their aggregate.
The belief that quick expansion in all
branches would follow greater liberaHty
and patriotism by the banks Is not wholly
unfounded, and the heavy receipts of gold
from Europe count for little compared
with the greater or less liberaity in loans
by banks. Disturbance does not yet APP
pear, however, and failures for the week
have been 232 in the United States,
against 252 last year, and 80 in Canada,
against SO last year"

In an official note presented to the State

requests for peace in behalf of his govern

offered Cuba was without conditions and
contained assurances that the island
would be granted home rule similar to
that enjoyed by Canada. 1t also urged
that neutral inquiry be had into the
Maine disaster, with the condition that
both Spain Nnd the United States agree
to abide by the verdict.

THOS. J. JACKSON'S MOTHERS
GRAVE.

Ansted is mining town ct about
1000 inhabitants, on the old James
river and Kanawha turnpike, 10 miles
east of the great Kanawha Falls, in
Fayette county, W. Va. On hill over
looking the town is the grave of the
mother of Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall)
Jackson. The grave is marked by
plain marble slab, inscribed as follows:
"Here lies Julia Beckwith Neale,
born Feb. %, 1898, in Loudoun county,
Va; married, first, Jonathan Jackson;
second, Blake B. Woodson; died, Sep
TENDER, 1S31."-"To the mother OF
sStonewall Jackson this tribute by one
Of his old brigade"
The grave remained unmarked and
unknown except to few who helped
inter the body until after the son won
distinction in the civil war. Its loca-
ton is accounted for by the TACT that at
the formation of Fayette county, in
1881, the Govern or Of Virginia appoint
d Blake B. Woodson clerk of the coun-
ty court at the new county seat then
being at Mountain Cove, two miles
east Of the present town of Ansted.
Another old landmark in the history
Of the country, which is still plainly
observable at various points near An
sted, where the primitive forest has
not been disturbed, is the old "Indian
trail" leading from Virginia to the
Northwest Territory, and which was
by Washington and other
characters distinguished in American
history.

THE ATTRACTIVE WOMAN.

That superabundant brains and sur
passing beauty may but seldom be com,
bined yet it does not follow that al
women of good sense and sharp intel
lect are necessarily plain.
That bright thoughts enliven the
most ordinary face until the reflection
Of the mind shining out in all its radl-
ance makes one forget that the features
are not pune Grecian, and leads us to
believe that such woman is in reality
great beauty.
That the vivacious creature of vary
ing modes and quaint fancies is The
one TO charm. A man forgets all the
type of beauty she may or may not
pose g so interested does he become in
the pleasing study of mind that rem
ders her face ever winning, irresistible
and pleasing, because, like the surface
of lake, there comes o change with
every varying emotion.
That the attractive woman should
cultivate the mind, for a grace of soul
and education of spirit count for more
than limpid eyer, rosebud mouth and
a dimpled chin.
That she should be ever teachable,
for there is not one iota of lovableness
in the man or woman who thinks he or

BRIDEGROOM LOST HIS NERVE.

A minister in Columbus, o., says
that women have more nerve thln men,
as a rule. This, h says, Is especially
the case when it comes to marrying.
Sometime since he was called to marry
q young couple in what might be call
the arts ocratic circle. The young man
was very much excited, but was trying
to put on bold face for tie emer-
gency To show that he was not
fright ned in the least, he concluded to
ask the m:nisttr if it was customary t.
kiss the bride. After suffering for
some time, he finally broke out: "Is
cussing visionary ?" The minister
kindly informed him that it was not,
under the circumstances, and the young
man was led to the altar like a lamb.
