According to a general understand
ing, Dennis Flynn was expected in
his speech yesterday at Jefferson, to
declare war on the whole territorial
administration, including Secretary
Jenkins and Judge Scott, of the Perry
land Office. 1t is said the recent semi
secret circular sent out by Charley
Filson contained in its folds a hidden
dagger intended to pierce Flynu's po-
litical vitals, though so adroitly con-
cealed in platitudes as TO escape the
eye of the unsuspecting. This, with
other things IL is said has aroused the
ire of the delegate TO congress. and
that from this on the war is to be car
ried into Africa and the bridges burned
in the rear. This opens up the fight
in this territory with more venom
and bitterness than ever before, and
nothing will now bridge the chasm
but the downfall Of either Barnes or
Flynn. Their motto is, that one
must walk aud the other ride" but
which will do the riding act, is the
question:

Killing at Dexter,

Arkansas City. Aug. 1s-A report comes
to this city Of a killing at Dexter yes
terday The victim Is an old soldied nam
ed johnson Burns. He Is well known to
4. J. wcGulre, proprietor OF the Midland
hotel. and stayed at the hotel for several
days untl yesterday morning when he
went to Winfield and then to Dexter o.
the Missouri Pacific.
The killing seems to have occurred m
this way. Burns was drinking In a joint
and got a little noisy when the town
marshal started to arrest him. He made
a motion to reach for a gun and the 1t-
fcer shot him through the right breast.
He was alive last night. but there "a
absolutely no chance forhl recovery
The shooting seems to have been un-
necessary as Burns IS an old man and
any ordinary sized boy could have pre-
vented him from doing harm even " he
had gun. Burns has lived in Chautau-
Qua county since 1886 and is well known
10 Mcclure who says he never heard OF
ham having any trouble before. He recent
ly moved 20 a place near Dexter and
came over here about a week ago.
Burns had made application for admit
tance TO the Soldiers Home at Leaven-
worth and was at the time Of his death
going 70 Dexter to fix up his business so
he would be all ready to go next week.
Mcclure feels almost as badly as II he
had been Z member OF his own family
and condemns the marshal for his action.
A coroner's inquest was held last night
and verdict returned Of justihable hom-
icide. II was shown that Burns had made
threats against the marshal and had tried
to secure knife and revolver TO go after
him with.

FRANCIS JOSEPH OF AUSTRIA.

1t seems the bounden duty of the en-

be always marrying off in prospective
the single or widowed royalty of Eu-
rope.

don paper now claims that Emperor
francis Joseph, in the hope of securing
the throne for his descendants in direct
line, will marry again and that he has
chosen as his future bride the young
Princess Marie Isabella, the 20-year-old
sister of the Duke of Orleans
FRANCIS Joseph has always had the
habit of doings things as ne saw fit. His
first marriage was a proof of this. His
mother had intended that he should
wed Princess Helena, the eldest daugh-
ter of the Bavarian Duke Max, and the
match was fully negotiated. One day
Francis Joseph set out for Duke Max's
castle to cOrSummate the formal be-
trothal- On his way through the park
before reaching the castle doors he
CHANGED to see a young girl strolling
through the shrubbery. With that girl
he fell in love at first sight. He found
that she was Princess Elizabeth
sister Of his intended bride. He re-
fused to marry the woman of his moth
er's choice and was finally welded to
the beautiful Princess Elizabeth
Now, by his second marriage. En-
percr Francis Joseph will effect COM

STORY OF HENRY CLAY.

Once when Henry Clay had invaded
Kentucky to make a speech a tough
looking representative of the blue
grass region, overcome with good
''moonshine." stepped up through the
crowd and slapped the great orator on
the back.
"Howdy. friend Clay?" he roared.
Clay looked surprised. BE kind
enough to turn your head that may
see your profile"
The man averted his face while the
Pickering torchlights enabled the OBJ
server to study him closely for several
seconds.
Twenty years ago." said Mr., Clay,
you had not begun to grow that long
beard and were smooth faced, eh?''
That's right
"Ah. Then you sat on a jury before
which pleaded case, and your name

THE MILL BOY OF THE sLAsHEs.

On the 18th of April 122 years ago wa.
born one of the greatest men of our
country. This man was Henry Clay.
and the humble homestead where he
first saw the light of day was among
the low marshy swamps of Hanover
county, Va. He was the seventh of
family of eight children that came to
bless the household of the poor but de-
vout Rev. John Clay. whose entire con-
gregation were so impecunious that
they could not even afford a church and
were forced to take their gospel in the
open air.
When Henry was but 4 years old, his
father died, leaving the orator in en-
bryo and his mother to struggle as best
they could for their daily bread. Henry
and his brothers and sisters, however.
were fortunately not allowed to remain
away from school. Henry. on account
of his numerous errandS to a neighbour
ing mill, was nicknamed "the Mill Boy
of the Slashes," and years later when
that once barefooted, mother loving lit
tie boy was nominated to the presidency
of the United States the phrase became
one of endearment and pride to those
hundreds of thousands of people who
had come to look up to Henry Clay as
the embodiment of all that is best in
American citizenship.
