Farmer Killed Another.

Mountain Grove, Mo, Dec. %
Pete Sanders shot ard killed James
Y. Lowe this morning about half q
mile southeast of this place. Bad
blood has been existing between
these two men for some four or FIVE
years Lowe was very quarrelsome
and was considered dangerous
man. He had tried at two or three
differ ent times to kill Sanders who,
up to the killing, had been stunning
Lowe to avoid trouble. Both men
were farmers and lived near each
other and their trouble originated
over some trivial matter.
Sardors never thought anything
of it until soma time afterwards,
when Lowe shot at him from am
bush They met in the public road,
this morning, when Lowe renewed
hostilities by shooting at Sanders.
Missing him, Lowe went to town,
bought new Winchester rifle and
started back to settle the matter.
Thereupon Sanders shot and killed
him. Squire II. E Needham Of this
place is holding an inquest.

Proud To Be An American,

Mrs Davis, wife of Senator Davis,
one OF the Peace Commissioners and
who accompanied her husband to
Paris, is a true American. On her
return home she had the following
to say to q Globe-Democrat repre-,
sentative: ooh, l am so proud
prouder than King or Queen could
be-to be an American. Why, the
grandest sight that has met my
vision since we sailed for Paris was
New York harbor, with its great
ships flying the dear old flag When
I saw the Goddess of Liberty l just
took off nay hat and waved it. And
our American men. Well, | always
knew they were far superior to men
of other nations; but l come back
with reverence for American man
hood which nothing but the devel
opments which attended the sittings
Of the peace commission could iu-
cite"
When asked how the Spanish
commission impressed her Mrs.
Davis said:
"As the most courteous gentle
men, particularly Gen. Rios An
other thing which greatly impressed
me was the mutual respect of the
American and Spanish commissions,
The articles of the treaty were de-
bated sharply and bitterly, but tbs
most delightful spirit of courtesy
prevailed.

missioned, mounting four guns and in
charge of lieutenant commander of the
United States navy. has just arrived here
from Manila, having on board the captain
Of the first class cruiser Olympia, flagship
of Rear Admiral Dewey and two officers
who have been invalided The situation
at Manila is unchanged. The insurgents

FROM SIMPSONS REPORT.

Washington, May 27.-The following
bulletin was posted at the navy departs
ment today: The following is copy of
report made by Rear Admiral Sampson
concerning the action of San Juan de
Porto Rico. Upon approaching San Juan
it was seen that none of the Spanish ves-
sells were in the harbor. 1t was therefore
considerably in doubt whether they had
reached San Juan and again departed for
some unknown destination, OF whether
they had not arrived. AS their capture
was the object of the expedition, and as
1t was essential that they should not pass
to the westward, / determined to attack
the batteries defending the port in order
to develope their positions and strength
and then without waiting to reduce the
city or subject it to regular lombard
ment, which would require due notice,
turn to the westward.
l commenced the attack MS soon rs it
was day. This lasted about three hours
when the signal was made to discontinue
the firing aud the squadron stood to the
northeast until out of sight Of Juan,
when the course was laid to the west
ward, with the view of communicating
with the department at Port Plata and
learn if the department had obtained in
formation as to the movements of tho
Spanish vessels
AT Cape Haytien received word from
the department that the Spanish vessels
had been sighted off Curacao on the 18th
inst.
AS stated in my telegram, no serious
injury was done to any of the ships and
only one man was killed, and seven
wounded slightly.

1t Is conceded that Derr Fritz is the
most gifted healer now living, and that
he has made more remarkable cures than
any man in the world.
His cures are made by simply passing
his hands over the body and limbs of the
patient. Hundreds have come to him
in this city who were sick and in pain
and were cured. Many who had beer
crippled for years have left his office
throwing away their canes and crutches
entirely restored by only one treatment.
He is the man who cured Mr.. j. II.

Henry had been cripple for IA years.
R. f. Hennesy was told that he ha6

Fritz in two weeks.
Derr Fritz has made hundreds of cures
in public and privately. He has restored
thousands to health. Every day he is
making the deaf hear and the crippled to
walk.
1t seems that this power leaves no dis
ease nor affection impossible to cure and
its wonderful efficacy is at this day no
longer doubted. 1t is the one blessing

EXCITEMENT AT FORT TAYLOR.
Men Supposed to Be spaniards Fired Up
on.

Key West, Fla, May 27.-s.S5 a. M
A sergeant OF artillery on duty at NOR
tar battery near Fort Taylor was fred up
on early this morning by three unknown
men, who. he says, he knows were Span
iards. The fire was promptly returned
but the men escaped.
The affair, whichT.is involved in good
deal of mystery, began yesterday after
noon, when three swarthy men, who
looked like Spaniards, even if they were
not natives Of Spain, made an attempt to
enter the gate of the reservation, but were
summarily turned off by the sentry
No further attention was given to the
incident until last night, when, between
ten and eleven o'clock, the sergeant OF the
artillery guard near the mortar battery
disoerned the figures of three men few
yards ahead of him. Almost simultane-
ously with the discovery they opened fire
on him with pistols. Three bullets
whizzed harmlessly past the sergeant put
fourth struck the aeshy part OF his left
arm, just below the elbow.
The sergeant dropped his raised rifle
and as he did so, the men tnrned and fled
out Of range.
He sent several shots after them and
then went for the guard. A sharp look
out was kept for the strangers and soon at
ter midnight suspicious noise was heard
outside the gate, near where the mortar
battery is located. An investigation re-
suited in the discovered of carriage in
the street, Just outside the gate. The SER
geant gave orders to fire and volley was
sent at the vehicle. A moment later, 1t
appears, three men were seen running up
the street and the fire of the soldiers was
directed upon them without effect, the
suspects escaping apparently unframed.
The sergeant declares that on the occa-
sion Of the last visit of the strangers one
of the latter carried suspicious looking
package about three feet long. The SER
geant, who was the principal in the ad-
venture with the strangers, is Charles w.
Richards, battery B, first artillery.

If mothers would cast aside foolish prud.
cry, and 1rnpart to their daughters the

quired by years of suffering, they would be

A woman who suffers from weakness,
