The Centralia Couriers Criticism.
From the Paris Msrcury-
The Centralis Courier criticisesSher-
III Nelson for the manner IN which, 1t
is said, be spirited Jester out OF Okla
homa and says the Doodle Of Million
ARE Gates IL behind 1t. This is carry
ing plntophobia to extremes. Sheriff
Nelson did net transcend his duty as
an officer. Alexander Jester stands
indicted for murder in the great state
Of Missouri and should be made to an
swer to the charge. Whether the
conhding boy who was his victim was
. pauper or by fate the brother of 8
man who has subsequently, become 3
millionaire and trust msgnate makes
little difference. The law, in It's tru-
est sense and majesty, knows neither
riches nor poverty, but rich and poor
alike may come to 1t for the redress of
their grievances and vengeance for
their wrongs. The blood Of Gilbert
Gates cries ont from beneath the
ground, and the brother, be be MIL
lionaire ten times over, has the right
Of the humblest citizen to demand of
society the life OF Alexander Jester as
stonement for that blood. To deny
him this would be anarchistic, to say
the least.

FOR A FARMERS CARNIVAL.

Proposed to Hold Various Winter Agri-
cultural Meetings at One Time.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 18.-At q business
meeting the advisability Of making the
annual sessions midwinter carnival
for the Agricultural classes was dis
cussed. The suggestion was advanced
that by changing tho date of the State
Poultry association to the date of the
meeting of the Agricultural association
. strong feature would be added. It Is
also suggested that the local manufac-
turers be invited to make display at
the next meeting. Thus would assem-
BILE at one time tho State Agricultural
society. the Stock Breeders association,
the State Poultry exhibition, the state
manufacturers and kindred interests,
and the Territorial Pioneers.
A general carnival is also suggested
for the week Of these meetings.
The second day of the meeting brought
out the fact that the society will ask the
legislature for an appropriation Of &c.
OOO for the purpose of erecting an agri-
cultural building and live stock amphi-
theater at the fair grounds. This mat
ter will be urged with persistency and
will represent to the legislature that it
is a prime necessity to the farmers of
Minnesota. Several interesting papers
were read.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Jan. ia great
battle has been fought in the Yemen
division of Arabia.
The Turkish troops captured the in
surgent position at Shanel, on Nov. 30.
About 1000 insurgents and 1000 Turks
were killed aud wounded.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-Special dispatches
from Constantinople say that after the
battle at Shanel a further Turkish ad-
vance was ordered. Abdullan Pasha,
commanding the Turkish troops, was
directed to capture Sasbeh, the head
quarters of an important insurgent
leader, $50 miles north of Sana. All the
commanding positions in that vicinity
are occupied by rebels, and as the Turk
ish troops are DESERVING the operations
are likely to be prolonged and difficult.
The trouble in Yemen is one of old
standing, and the rebellion against
Turkish rule has spread throughout
