Death of Edward Eyre.

Edward J. Eyre. once the most de-
nounccd man in England. and often re-
ferred e. as the second Warren Hastings
died a few days ago at his rural home in
Devoushire For twenty-five years his
name had been forgotten by the public
bu. when, in 1865, he was Governor Of
Jamaica, his severe methods In suppress
ing a little rioting that was diguiied with
the name OF rebellion caused a great out
burst of public disapproyal and long
trial that resulted in nothing.
Governor Eyre had easily suppressed
some incipieut rioting in Kingston, and
then started on a career Of hanging,
shooting, and logging in many sections OF
the island under the guise OF court mar
tial sentences. He executed i39 persons,
nio.tly colored. nogged GOO more and
burned ! 600 houses.
His case assumed greater Importance IN
Eagland because John Stuart Mil led the
faction that denounced him as muir
derer while Thomas Carlyle championed
his cause as hero who by promptness
and yalor saved q colony to the Empire.

SMALL Pox.
No Need for ANY Scare, But ALI
Should be Vaocinated and be as
Careful as Possible.

There is going to be a great deal Of
small pox in Missouri this winter as
there was last. 1t is of a very mild
form. 1t may be in this city any time.
A little fever, a slight eruption Of the
skin, not at all dangerous. Some OF
the doctors even claim that it is
not small pox. Some call it Cuban
itch, as it has been prevalent all over
the United States since we have had
so much to do with Cuba. The LED
GER is Of the opinion that it is small
pox In a very mild form. Everybody
should be vaccinated, be careful about
being exposed to the disease as much
as possible. The proper authorities
will do everything in their power to
enforce strict quarantine. Every case
fhould be q%uarantlned, and everybody
should be yaccinated,
