WEEKS NEWS In THE BUSINESS WORLD.

Business during the past week has
been good generally. This is the time
for the regular fall lull, and a great
number Of the merchants and en-
ployes are taking their vacations.
The advanced fall trade has set in
with the merchant tailors but the rush
Is yet to come. The retail merchants
are buying fall and winter stuff and
the wholesale merchants report good
week in everything.
The whiskey men are doing the
usual good business, and the mills
report slight decrease in business.
Most of the summer building has been
and there are fewer houses
going up daily.

So Says the COroner's Jury in the
Charles Gordon Case Today.
A Great Deal of Light Thrown ON the
Shooting By the Inquest
Held Today.
GORDON DID NOT TESTIFY

Coroner Peal this morning recon-
vened the jury summoned Tuesday for
the inquest into the death of George
Howard, the white man shot in one of
the railroad camps near the city last
Sunday, and the investigation was
completed in the council chamber at
the city hall
Charles Gordon, alias Gardner, the
Henderson negro charged with the
killing, was present with his attorney,
and as a result of the work of County
Attorney Graves, quite a number of
witnesses were present to testify.
The evidence showed, briefly sum-
med up, that crap games were in prog
ress throughout the camp, and How
ard, the white man, who seems to
have been no better than negro, was
handling the money, when asked to
desist.
Gordon was in the crowd, and ap-
pears to have been the one who object
ed to the white mans playing with
the coin. A quarrel caused the negro
to draw his pistol. As he pulled it
out it "broke," and as he pressed il
to his arm to close it and place it in
condition to be discharged, Howard,
the white man, jumped up in alarm
or anger, and threw his arms about
his neck and swung to him, to pre-
vent his shooting, it was presumed.
1t was when they were thus clinch-
ed that the negro fired the fatal shot
and fed.
Howard, il will be repembered,
lived but little over a day. Gordon,
who declined to testify this morning,
claims that Howard was bad man,
and that he shot because he thought
his life was in danger.
The jury returned verdict at 11:so
o'clock stating that George Howard
'ame to his death from pistol wound
inflicted by Charles Gardner, and that
he act was wilful murder.
Gordon's examining trial will be
ED before Judge Sanders Monday,
nd If the evidence justifies he will be
ED over for grand jury action.
Circuit court is only q little over
ne week off.

Attorney David s. Lansden of q

Captain Il. Z. winslow, chief OF the

condition Of the river bank at Wick
life, Ky, where the Mobile and Ohio
road has an incline. The Mississippi
at that point has been cutting away
the bank badly, and prompt action is
necessary to prevent further and more
serious damage. Being most interest

should come from the government,
the railroad people preferred their re.
quest to Captain winslow. The at.
torneys were assured that the matter
would be taken up at once and given
such attention as it deserved.

BEEF MAY COME LOWER.
SWIFT'S MANAGER MAKES A
CONFIDENT PREDICTION.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 23-J. s.
Bangs, manager of Swift and 10. Is
plant at South st. Paul, said today
that Ogden Armour's statement that
the price Of beef would not be reduced
was incorrect. 1.-THE reason for the
advance in the price of beef, he con-
cluded, yves the scarcity of corn,
due to drouths in Kansas, Nebraska
and the Southwestern states. But
now the grass cattle are coming H..
and they are always cheaper than
corn-fed cattle. We pay from 8 1-s
to cents a pound for live grass fed
cattle, which we sell after removing
hide, offal, etc., for from 1-2 to 10
cents pound, while we pay from s
to cents for corn-fed cattle. The
grass cattle commence coming in about
August l and continue till about No
vember l. There is no reason why the
price or beef should not be reduced
lnder these conditions. :"

HOTELS TO TEST
They do Not Like a Provision of the
New Law.
The License Required Is Higher Than
the Regular Saloon.

Hotel proprietors over the state are
organizing for the purpose of testing
the constitutlonality Of the section Of
the new revenue law raising their Ii.
cense for the sale of spirituous, vinous
and malt liquors in hotels from $3.50
to $685..
The new license is s75 higher than
an ordinary saloon license, and is,
they claim, discrimination against
them. In several counties they have
been able 10 avoid the payment of the
increase by taking out their hotel H.
cense in one name and saloon license
n another name. A refusal to permit
this in some sections has resulted in
the organization.
Proprietor Charles Reed of the
Palmer house said he was asked to
join the movement, but as his hotel
has nothing to do with the saloon he
declined.

Telephone message was received in
Hickman Yesterday of an aggravated
trouble at Fulton, the night previous.
The trouble occurred on the Tennessee
side, and the affray, night Waterman
by the name of Tom Taylor was shot
and killed and the same man shot and
seriously wounded a Mr.. Win Lavender.
Tom Blackard Is the name of the man
who killed policeman Taylor and
wounded Lavender. BACKYARD was
arrested and placed in the lookup, and
the telephone message says that he
escaped from the lock-ud and com
mitted suicide by hanging himself
The facts appear to be that citizens took
Dlackart from the lookup and hung
him.
Blackart was drunk, had a very
bad reputation, and Mr.. Taylor the
policeman started to arrest him when
BACKYARD shot him. Taylor is said to
have been popular, clever. good citizen
and officer. Lavender though wounded

Can Democrats Come Together9

Can Democrats unite without any
sacrafice Of honest convictions. The
Courier answers, yes
The free silver issue upon which
democrats have been split since 1896. is
not and in the very nature of things
can not be a live issue.
In 1860 the slavery question was the
controlling issue and upon it democrats
split Who thinks OF making il a dlvid-
ing Issue now. IL is no compromise of
honor or conviction to let she dead bury
the dead-the past be past.
Live issues are before the country,
and political parties must deal with
them. For instance, the tariff question.
is a vital issue. Protection for protec-
ton sake is the Republican policy and
has Away been opposed by democrats.
The majority OF the American people
have always opposed it, and it has
never secured majority of the people
except when Democrats were divided
ana spIlt on Otner issues.
The Republicans are split on the
Philippine policy. The Democratic 90
sition is simply and plainly against
holding these people in State of vas
salage. Opposition to trusts or rather
the evils of certain kind of trusts, is
authoritative Democratic position.
The attitude of the Republican AID
minlstration towards Admiral Dewey,
Schley and Gen. Miles, and the new
army regulation, will force lively
issue.
The great extravaganza of theIGovern-
ment in all kinds of expenditures is
growing to be an immense issue.
These are the questions upon which
all democrats may unite.
