Public Meeting.

The JOURNAL is requested to an
nounce that a citizens meeting will be
held IN Meats Opera House at s o'clock
Wednesday evening, April 5, to formu-
late an expression of popular hostility
to the expenditure Of any more of the
peoples money for the purpose of
driving away their home industries and
thus giving notice to the world that
others need not come.
Those who call this meeting know
that the people are in dead earnest, and
they, therefore, invite the taxpayers
of town, vicinity, and along the creek
to come and give emphasis TO their
protest against what they believe is
great wrong to the whole county,

Last Word.

The JOURNAL has little to say of
local issues tins week, feeling that it
has done its part in showing the people
that their interest lies in the direction
of something better in the way of
municipal administration than we
have had during the current year.
In pursuing its policy the Journal
has had no other aim than "the great
est good to the greatest number" no
matter what dirty and malicious pub
locations may insinuate to the con-
trary.
1t is hard to say at this writing what
shape and direction the campaign will
take. The white feather" shown by
those who engineered the primary date
next to the last moment, leaves too
little time to meet the exigency.
But, people, if you must have a
boss, please crown one to whom we
can all look up.

3s-calibre Colts revolver. Mr., Allen
was one Of tho oldest residents OF Go.
lunbus, and not until last Saturday
morning was the awful news made
known to the citizens Of this place.
Mr.. Allen had been acting queerly
for some time, and had mentioned to
bis wife that he was tired of living and
but for her, he would end all. Last
week he asked her to get some poison
at the drug store, und they would go
together. Since that time he was
closely watched BY his father.in.law
James Harrington. who had grave fears
for his daughters safety. He induced
them to give up business III town,
where Mr.. Allen had saloon, and come
and look after his cattle, In which they
were both interested. All the fire arms
on tile place were kept un der lock and
key, but Friday morning Mr.. Allen
asked for his revolver to shoot wolves,
which lie claimed were among the cat
tie. His brother-in.lnw went with him
and they returned III the afternoon az
usual. Mr.. Allen spent few minutes
talking atfeotionately with his wife and
pnrtaking Of some light refreshments
which she had prepared
About o'clock supper wRs served,
but Mr.. Allen refused TO come to the
table, saying he was unwell. A few
minutes later tho family were startled
by the report Of pistol In the bed
room. Mr., Harrington rushed to the
door and found his son.in.law's lifeless
form stretched out on the floor IN front
Of the mirror. The pistol lay on the
dresser, where 1t had dropped from the
suioide's hand. The entire forehead
aud upper part Of the face were blown
away and nearly the entire brain lay
about the dresser III handfuls or was
scattered about the room. Mr.. Her-
rington closed the door Oh the awful
spectacle, telling the family to call for
assistance, but not to enter the room.
Many friends soon arrived and took
charge Of the body.
Sunday the remains was inferred In
the family lot at Absorakee. A large
concourse Of friends and neig hbors fol.
lowed the body to the grave and on.
deavored to comfort the bereaved
family.
Mr.. Allen left a note III his pocket
asking the bank to pay all money to
his wife. He had always been Of a
melancholy disposition. but lately had
been addicted to the use OF alcoholic
stimulants, which, with business mis-.
fortune, probably led to bis suicide

The preliminary hearing Of Herman

He was standing at the moment talk

had dined by his side three different

versation, and slowly facing the door
way saw before him not ten PAGES away
the woman who was to have been his
wife, gazing straight at him as though
challenging him to look and be blinded,
as blinded by her beauty he had been
before. She was only young, imma-
ture, untaught girl then, ignorant of
her powers. Now the soft bloom was
gone, but in it's place there lurked
among the tiny threads of lines or
wrinkles just forming at the corners of
her brilliant eyes and in the witching
curves about her mobile, sensitive, ex-
quisite lips a charm beside which her
virgin graces were cold and formal.
She had been what all men called a
wonderfully pretty girl. She was now
what many women termed dangerous
~ beautiful woman, and she knew it
we'll. When we had no one especially
selected to receive" in those days, it
was sort of garrison custom for every
body to present himself or herself to
the wife of the commanding officer il
case that official was so provided. Mrs
Frazier was seated in plain view of the
queenly creature, who having advanced
few steps beyond the portals and the
loiterers there assembled now halted,
and, like some finished actress, swept
the room with her radiant eyes, as
though compelling all men, all women,
to yield to her their attention and re-
gard, and then, smiling brightly, BEAM
ingly (dutiful Brayton guided by the
pressure Of her daintily gloved hand),
moved with almost royal grace and de-
liberation to where Mrs. Frazier sat in
state, and the first lady of the garrison
rose to greet her.
Unsuitable as is the full uniform for
cavalry purposes today, it was worse in
1870, when our shoulders were decked
with wabbly epaulets and our waists
were draped with a silken sash that
few men wore properly. But whatever
might be said Of Sir Galahad's short
comings as boon companion, or of his
beverley simple and economical mode Of
life, there was no manifestation of
parsimony in his attire. No man in the
room was so we'll uniformed or wore
the garb Of his profession with better
grace. He who came in flannel shirt
and rough gray suit, with silver
watch and leather watch chain, appear

N institution at Fort Worth, yet opin-
ions were as divided and talk of him as
constant as before he came. First and
foremost, he had met Mrs. VIM, and
his demeanor on that presumably try
ing occasion had proved a distinct dis
appointment. VIM was recovering
health, if not spirits. A stageload of
officers and ladies had come from the
cantonment to spend 4S hours, and a
big dance was prescribed for their bene-
fit. Mrs. VIM danced divinely, and

suitable partner on suitable floor.
