DIRT EATERS
Of St. Louis Swallow TeaspoonfuI of
 Sand Daily.

St. Louis Cor New York Times.
 Of all the peculiar sects which have recently sprung up in West St. Louis boasts the most striking-a community of dirt eaters. William Windsor, native of Wisconsin, some time lawyer, college student, student of natural science, is their Moses. Seventy-five men and wom- en form the community. Dirt eating Is their only aim and object in life so far as their existence as community Is con- cerned. They seek to make converts to their belief and practice, and Head Dirt Eater Windsor holds forth in earnest and convincing manner every night to his class at his lecture room, at Eigh- teenth and Olive streets, in the old Mer- chants League building.
 The dirt eaters take every day spoon ful of dirt. They believe that grit is nec- essary to every animal, and that many of the stomach troubles to which human flesh is heir are due simply and entirely to the absence of grit in the stomach. In support of this unique theory the dirt eaters cite the beasts of the field the fowls of the air, and the serpents which crawl, asserting triumphantly that none of these share mankinds s foolish aversion to good, pure dirt and none of them | have stomach troubles. The dirt eat CTS |
 | maintain their argument Is unanswera- l ble.
 The dirt eater, declares Leader Windsor soon becomes accustomed to his diet and craves it. The daily allowance of one teaspoonful is washed down with a half | glass of water and the dirt eater smacks his lips with relish and winks one eye, in much the same manner as the Ken lucky "Colonel does when slipping his mint julep or his morning toddy.
 MT. Windsor's disciples are epicurean in their tastes. They are very particular as 1 to the kind of dirt they eat. This article of their singular diet is technically a sand. It comes from the river bottoms and is made up of many little particles of granite, marble, quartz and flint vel rounded with age. The chief dirt eater collects the sand and sterilizes it; then it is put up in little bags and sold tc the disciples for 25 cents a bag. | Dirt eating Is six months old in St | Louis and fourishes like green bay tree The chief dirt eater Is rotund and looks happy and prosperous, the lesser dir eaters have good appetites and are en thusiastic In their faith and practice.

SELMA.

Selma, December S.-(SpeciaD- reached the city today of a cold blooded murder that occurred a few days ago near Benton in Lowndes country. The victim was Lawrence Maull a well to do negro planter and land owner and the man on whose hands Is his blood was a tenant whose name could not be learned from the party who brought the news to Selma.
 The two negroes had a quarrel early in the day and the negro tenant went off very angry. He returned about nightfall and finding Maull standing in the door deliberately fired both barrels of shot gun he had secured. The load tore the entire top of the negro's head of, death resulting instantly.
 There is an impending law suit brought about by a transaction which occurred on Friday afternoon between Marx Leva and J. c. Adler, both prominent wholesale whisky dealers and citizens of Selma. The two men for a number of years were partners in business but in disagree ment each went in business for himself and they have never spoken since.
 Mir. Adler owns half of the stock of the Adler Liquor Company, MT. r. J. Lough- lin owning the remainder. Mir. Adler wanter to retire from the liquor business and offered to sell his interest for sS5Oo. Mir. Loughlin went to see MT. Leva and the latter concluded to buy MT. Adler's interest. He accordingly drew @ check in favor of J. c. Adler for $3500 and the latter assigned his interest in the firm to Mr. Leva. This took place after banking hours Friday.
 Later in the afternoon when Mir. Lough- lin offered a key to the store to MT. Leva the latter refused to take 1t and this morning when the check was presented at the bank payment was refused upon orders from MT. Leva.
 The claim of the latter is that he was informed that there was no outstanding liabilities due by the Adler Liquor Com pany but he learned after signing the check that the company owes some three or four thousand dollars due next month. The other side claims that there was noth- ing said about any outstanding liabilities | and it is over this that the deal went | through and the law suit will result.
