PENNINGTON, Mo-, August s.
-Four men killed and one fatally
wounded is the outcome of "a shooting
affair between VIM. Dooley and his
four sons on one side, and the four
Harris brothers on the other as a re-
suit of a feud at Dee Run, one of the
mining towns of ST. Francois county.
William Dooley, Wess Harris, James
Harris and John Dooley are the names
of those killed, and Frank Harris was
fatally wounded
A young girl, Mary Littrell, was
struck just above the ankle with a rifle
ball.
A few days ago the Harris boys sent
word to the Dooleys that they would
be at picnic at Dee Run and intended
to run the Dooleys off the grounds.
Just how the shooting began is not
clear, but once begun, it was deadly.
All the Harris boys, except one, Bill,
were shot. One was killed instantly.
Three of the Dooley boys who were
unhurt, came to Pennington and gave
themselves up. They are in Jail.

telegraphed back that they would be

came. Nearly 1000 people were at the

The Shanghai correspondent of

ception Of an imperial edict dated
August End, ordering Gen. Yung
Lu to select high military and
civil dignitaries, together with a
sufficient number Of picked
troops, to escort the foreign min
lister to Tien Tsin as soon as they
decided to leave Pekin. By the
terms of the edict, Gen. Lu will
be held personally responsible
for their safety, and he is given
full authority to deal summarily
with those opposing the peaceful
passage of the escort.
BY such acts concludes the
edict, do we show our good in
tentions to people from afar and
open our bosoms TO them"
Is Not Believed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The
report of the suicide of Ii Hung
Chang is wholly discredited in
official circles here, and no infor-
nation had been received regard
ing it tonight, either by our gov
eminent or at the Chinese lega-
ton. At the latter there seems
to be no reason known to the Off
Gals why the great Chinese diplo-
matist should take his own life,
which, in their minds, would be a
most deplorable event. His death
they would regard as a severe loss
to China in the present perturbed
condition of affairs existing there.
One of the officials suggested the
possibility that he has suffered
an attack of apoplexy or other sud-
den illness incident to old age, but
confidence was expressed that the
report of his suicide was untrue.
There is good reason to believe
that the imperial edict referred to
in Consul General Goodnow's
cable to the state department has
reached Minister WI, who is
spending Sunday with his family

the National Democratic Committee.
arrived here to-day for the purpose OF
eScorting Mr.. Bryan to Indianapolis.
The two went over the details OF the
proposed trip tonight, but no import
ant changes were made in the pro-
gramme. The party will leave Lincoln
at 6 O'Clock Monday evening, on the
regular train on the Burlington road.
There will be no special train. No ar
rangement has been made for speeches
on the way but it is considered not
improbable that Mr.. Bryan may be
called out at different places. He does
not expect, however, to make any for
NAL addresses during his absence ex-
cept that in accepting the nomination.
Ii other talks are made, they will be
purely informal and will not enter in
to any detail upon the discussion of the
issues of the campaign.
The party will consist of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan and their son. Col. Martin,
Governor and Mrs Charles S. Thomas.
of Colorado; Mr.. Bryan's secretary,
and a few newspaper men. They will
reach Chicago about $3.50 Tuesday
morning and will remain in that city
until 1885 in the afternoon, when they
will proceed to Indianapolis, arriving
there for dinner Tuesday evening.
At Chicago. Mr., Bryan will be taken
in charge by local committee and the
party will travel by special train from
Chicago to Indianapolis. Col. Martin
says the arrangements are complete for
a monster open air meeting in the In
dianapolis capital, and that there will
probably be $4,000 witnesses OF the no.
tification. ceremonies. The event is
intended to be the opening of the cam
paign in that State. Mr.. Bryan will
consume about an hour and twenty
minutes in delivering his speech.
