WILD EXCITEMENT.

Meantime, the widest excitement
prevailed in the hoted lobby where the
the killing occurred and in the dining
room nearby, where about 300 guests
had been seated at dinner when the fu-
SHADE began. Men fell over each other
in frantic efforts to get to places of safe
ty, women tainted and it was several
minutes before the awful scope of the
tragedy was fully known. The dead
were left lying in pools of blood and
messengers were dispatched in every
direction for nurses to care for the
wounded.
Charles II. Julian, who was shot in
the leg, died shortly after reaching his
room, death being due to loss of blood
and the shock of his nervous system.
Captain Golden was removed to room

RESULT OF A FEUD.

Colonel David G.. Colson, who killed
Scott, and who is charged with killing
both Demaree and Julian. and with
shooting Capt. Golden, has long been a
prominent figure in Kentucky politics
He served the two terms in congress
and declined a denomination at the
hands of the republican party of the
18th district in 1898 in order to accept
the colonelcy Of the Fourth Kentucky
regiment in the Spanish war.

Exposition Finances.

1.-THE actual price of admission in
to the Paris, exposition at present"
said Mr.. Manning, sis only s cents in
American money. That all came
about from speculation or the man
ner in which the money was raised
for defraying the expenses Of the ex-
position. Exposition bonds were sold
for 20 francs "a in American money,
and attached to the bond were 20
coupon admission tickets to the expo
sition. The admission originally was
intended to be one franc. To induce
the people to buy the bonds they had
drawing every two weeks and all
bonds purchased within that time
bore numbers, duplicates of which
were thrown into wheel and grand
lottery made of it. Prizes were offer
ed, the first being 5000 francs; the
second, 1000 francs; the third, 5000
francs; the fourth, 1000 and the fifth
1000 francs.
"That was continued for several
months. Holders of the tickets be-
gan cutting the price eventually and
when we left, tickets to the exposi-
tion could be purchased as low as %
confines or cents"

NINTH ANNUAL SHOOT.
Tournament OF ottumwa Gun Club
Next Month.

Tournament OF OttumWa Gun Club
Next Month.
The arrangements are nearly COM
pleted for the ninth annual tourna-
ment of the Ottumwa Gun club which
will be held at the Athletic Park, South
Ottumwa, October 10, IL and ~. The
programs will be sent out to shooters
turnout the state in few days and the
attendance will no doubt be large. OF
| tumwa shooters have the reputation
| OF showing their guests good time in
every way, and for that reason Ottum-
wa tournaments are always well at
tended.
This years shoot is to be entirely
amateur, that is, none but amateurs
will be allowed to compete for share
of the purses, but the club will do all
in its power to assist manufacturers
agents in showing their goods. This
class of shooters will be allowed to
participate in the events for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the value of
their loads or guns, but will shoot for
| only the price of the birds, and will
not be allowed to share in the purses.
In this way the amateur and profess
sional shooters will be brought togeth-
er to their mutual benefit without the
objectionable features of an open
shoot
Ottumwa has several shooters Of no
mean ability, and they are sure to car
ry away their share of the money, but
they have powerful rivals in represent
tatives of Marshalltown, Des Moines,
Charlton and numerous other points
thruout the state. Centerville will al
so probably send delegation, whose
ability to take care of themselves has
been demonstrated.
| Shooting will begin promptly at 8
o'clock each morning, and will last un-
til dusk. Live bird and target events
will be on each days program. Din
ner will be served on the grounds, so
that no stop in the shooting will be
made at noon. The Sergeant system
of traps will be used, and American
association rules will govern all events.
Loaded shells will be kept on the
grounds. Visitors are cordially invit-
ed, whether shooters or not. The fol-
lowing program will be observed each

Our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be one Of territorial expan-
sion, or whether we are TO remain aloof
from international complications, is the
supreme question confronting our Con-
gress. The attention OF the world ia di-
rected toward us. The deliberations Of
eur Congress have come to be OF inter
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
us that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health of our
people. Catarrh has already become a
national curse. It's ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half of
the people are affected by IL. II has be-
come such a serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries of the medical
profession and become a national ques-
ton. Senators are talking about it;
Congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease, but the
possibility of fading a national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
