Special! TO the Register.

Wolfe, pastor OF the First PresDy-
terian church, preached a ringing
sermon to his flock on The Evil
influence OF Dancing"
Pictures in the shape of cartoons
and caricatures, drawn by his own
hand, were used to illustrate the
most telling points, and according
to the theory therein propounded,
the terpsichorean art was respon-
sible for most of the evils that flesh
is heir to.
The leaders of the Cotillion Club
were up in arms and one Of their
leaders, Hon. David S. Stokes, in
some way secured one of the charts
and thereby gave an additional
whirl to the local social world.
Running across the minister, he
told him for a little he would make
his ministerial back resemble a
pen and ink sketch, but nothing
came of it, and friends supposed
that it was merely a bit of pleas
antry, but evidently the iron rank
led in Mr.. Wohles breast.
Stokes, who is one of the most
prominent lawyers in Mingo coun-
ty, left his Office this afternoon i'm
mediately after dinner, and pleas
antly greeting friends on the way,
walked with quick and firm step
in the direction of the house occu-
pied by Mr.. Wolfe and his house
keeper, Mrs. Levine, Mr.. Wohle's
family being in kentucky.
Mr.. Stokes stopped at the gate to
talk with Mrs. Levine, who stood
in the doorway Within a few min
utes the minister came out of the
house. He seemed to be greatly ex-
cited, and said to Mrs. Levine as
he passed her at the door:
You would be much better at
present in the house"
She laughingly replied that the
day was far too pretty to be en-
tirely spent within doors, and Mr..
Stokes interrupted by remarking:
Eyes, don't think of leaving us
for the house"
Quick as flash Mr.. Wolfe turn
ed and, addressing Mr.. Stokes,
said:
Leave the premises"
An alteration followed. Both
men ran to the sidewalk. directly
In front of the house. Something
was said, almost indistinguishable
that drew from Rev. Wolfe the
sharp retort: You are liar" and
in an instant the report of revolt
yer was heard
Stokes stumbled, tried to regain
his feet, but fell in the street.
Wounded as he was, he drew his
revolver and covered the minis
ter now within ten feet of his fall
en- foe. Again Wolfe fired, and sim
ultaneously with that shot, the gun
in the sinking hand of Stokes
spoke. When the smoke cleared
away, two men lay in their own
blood upon the sidewalk. A crowd
ran to the scene. Rev. Wolfe was
dead. Chance had carried the bullet
from Stokes pistol through the
head o. the minister, killing him
as he fell.
The bullet had entered Stokes
side below the heart and passed
entirely through his body.
In the hall of the minister's
home, facing the fearful duel to
the death, fallen across the door
way, was found Mrs. Levine 1t
was at first thought she was dead.
and had probably been shot but an
investigation showed that she had
only tainted from the fright.
Up to late hour this evening,
Mr.. Stokes has refused to say any,
thing concerning the terrible trag-
edy. and Mrs. Lavine is in too much
of a state of excitement to talk.
Rev. Wolfe was recognized as

ills q Big Question
le San Francisco Bulletin

On this Porto Rico bill there Is room
for an honest difference OF opinion.
The question whether distant posses
sions should be placed on the same
footing as American territory occupied
by Americans should never have been
made party question. II is not based
on any principle upon which parties In
the United States have been divided.
1t is new question which should be
discussed dispessiopately. There is
certainly force in the argument that as
the constitution requires revenue
duties to be uniform all over
the United States, no duties
should be levied on the products
of Porto Rico entering American ports.
There is also force in the argument
that the union was framed for
free and independent states On the
American continent. Our departure
from the American continent brings
up for onsider alton the question
whether distant possessions occupied
by alien races have the same claim TO
place in the family of states that ter
ritories on the American continent
have. An issue of this character
should not be made to turn upon the
resolutions of party platforms which
are dominated by such minor issues as
the free coinage of silver, the issuance
OF currency by the government or by
banks, whether the protective or reve-
nue. features of tariff should Itrol
our tariff policy, or whether trusts
should b. regulated by federal or state
laws, or both. These sre important
issues, and are proper subjects for dis
cussion IN party platforms, but they
are temporary and superficial compar
ed with the proposition to incorporate
Cd World territory into the American
Union.

A Tall Corn Story

A Pennsylvania man travelling
through Kansas recently heard q great
many tall corn stories, and thought he
would tell some OF them in a letter
home. This was how ne did it:
''Most of the streets are paved, the
grains of corns being ussd for cobble-
stones, while the cobs are followed out
and used for sewer pipe. The husk
whe taken off whole aud stood on end
makes q ME tent for the children to
play In. It sounds queer to hear the
feed man tell the driver to take a
dozen grains of horse feed over to
Jackson's livery stable. If it were not
for soft, deep soil here. I don't see how
they ever would harvest the corn, as
the stalks would grow up in the air as
high as a Methodist church steeple.
However, when the. ears get too heavy
their weight presses the stalk down in
the ground on an average Of 80 feet:
this brings the ear near enough to the
ground to be chopped off with an ak"

Nevertheless, the subject is too i'm

local press, but by all FL Pasoans who
