condition that is exceedingly serious.
1t was stated on good authority to-day
that this Government is very much dissat;s-
fed with the attitude Of the Venezuelan
Federal authorities generally. and President
Castro particularly. Their conduct in the
recent troubles in the asphalt region and
in cases of. alleged petty persecution Of
Americans residing in Venezuela is regarded
as u%nfriendly. They have. it is explained.
shown no disposition to meet the United
States halfway in the settlement of pend
ing disputes and have assumed an attitude
of defiance.
From what has been said in official quar-
tiers, it is apparent that the Government
has concluded that the Castro administra-
ton must be dealt with severely to secure
respect for American interests. 1t is not
probable, however. that any decision as to
a course of action will be reached until
after Minister Loomis gets here.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Rolla, Mo-, March 3.-Friday night a man
who gave his name as John Stinnett, while
attempting to enter the store of +. 1.
Brewster at Macedonia. in this county, was
shot and killed by a gun that had been fixed
to kill possible intruders.
About two years ago Mr.. Brewster's
store had been burglarized and the author
tiles were unable to find any clue leading
to the arrest of the guilty parties; so
Brewster determined that he would fix some
arrangement to injure or scare any one that
ever made the attempt again.
He fixed a shotgun on a rack on the
counter, directing 1t toward the window, so
that when the lower sash was raised to its
full height a string was drawn, tightening
the lever which discharged the gun.
The whole thing worked as was planned.
Stinnett was shot in the side, just below
his heart. He lived for four hours. Medi-
cal aid was summoned. but he was dead be-

 "The renewal of the bridges on this line with iron structures in place of wood, which has been in progress and has been previously noted. is still con- tinued by the erection of two iron structures at Lakeville, and over the Housatonic river, completed since our last inspection. The new and heavy steel rails recently laid the entire length of the line and the numerous iron bridges substituted for wood have made a marked improvement in the condition of the road, which is deserv ing of special mentiom'
