In the senate.

Washington June 26.--In q few min
utes yesterday the senate disposed for
this session of the omnibus statehood
question which has been pending for
several days. Mr.. Beveridge of In
diana, chairman of the committee on
territories, announced that a report on
the bin before the committee would be
made on the third day of the next ses-
sion. This was satisfactory TO Mr..
Quay of Pennsylvania, who, after Sc
curing an agreement that the COM
mittee's report should be the unfin-
ished business on and after the 10th Of
December until il was disposed of,
withdrew his motion to discharge the
committee from further consideration
of the measure.
After Mr.. McCumber of North Da-
kota had discussed the pending pure
food bill and Mr.. Gallinger OF New
Hampshire had delivered an extended
argument to show that the prosperity
of the country was due to the opera
tons of the Dingley tariff law, the
senate took UP the calendar and passed
large number of bills of minor i'm
portance.

Murder Will Out.

On the 2Sth day of January, 1870,
Antoine Mitchell, prosperous farmer
of Amite county, was foully assassin
ated and robbed. A message had been
sent to Mr.. Mitchell telling him to
come to his store prepared to purchase
100 bales of cotton. He went to his
store, but not finding any one there,
he started back toward home. On his
homeward journey he was killed and
robbed, the murderers securing 5000
in bills, $50 in gold and a fine watch.
There was great excitement over the
murder, and on suspicion j. b. Mccoy,
G. W. Mccoy and +. f. Mccoy were
arrested, tried and acquitted. During
the excitement man named WEIGH,
who was witness before the court,
attempted to get away from the officers,
for some cause, and was killed. From
this date until a short while ago the
assassination of Mr.. Mitchell was a
mystery. About month ago Wynans
Campbell, of Jackson, La, died in
West Feliciana parish, and on his
death bed told Mr.. Joe Merryman that
he, Col. Frank Powers, VIM. Weldon;
r. II. McClelland and VIM. Vallow
killed and robbed Mr.. Mitchell.
Campbell said he did the killing,
but the others were present and all
we're in the plot, Will Vallow holding
the horses. This confession was a
startling revelation to the people of
the section of country in which the
murder was committed, and which the
men lived, not one of them ever being
suspected. Since the murder of 1870
Campbell killed Weldon, Col. Powers
was found on the road dead, Vallow
was killed in Bayou Sara, McClelland
has died, and Campbell, the last one
of the gang, has just died after being
an invalid for several years. 1t seems
Gods retributive justice followed the
men during their lives, and though
they succeeded in keeping the world
deceived, they lived miserable lives
and met with a great deal of misfor-
tune.
One of the McCoys arrested still
lives in the same part of this State
and is, we hear, good citizen. This
closes tragic chapter of a third of a
century ago. The information above
has been sent to Mr.. K. Whitaker, of
our town, the husband of Mr.. Mitch
ellis daughter CentrerWe Mss JEFF
ferSOHidn.
Mr.. l. Forsythe, who is now serving
as night Waterman of Brookhaven, says
he remembers well the Mitchell muir
der and the excitement and stirring
circumstances incident to it. He was
comparatively boy at the time, not
yet grown, but was appointed one of
the guards at Liberty, where be then
lived, to prevent the escape of the Nc
Coys and keep them from being
lynched. Some of the incidents of
his vigil made very deep impression
on his youthful mind. which he has
never forgotten.

The Real Cause of Dear Meat,

During the last three years the prices
of live beeves have risen about 10 per
cent, as will be seen from the follow
ing quotations for beef steers at Chi
cago: June |, 1898, S4OO-S52O: June
1. 1899, 81 80 81. 50; June l, 1900 S4.9O-
$3.50; June 5. 1901, S.. -SG.10; June u,
1902, 81 0-SS.U0.
The price OF beef to the butchers,
and, for that matter, to the public, has
risen less than 40 per cent, much of it
less than 30. 1t is thus clear that the
actual rise in the price of beef is all in
the live cattle. In other words, it has
taken place in the hands of the cattle
raisers and feeders and not with the
packers or so-called trust
Among the beef raisers and feeders
there is no trust whatever. On the
contrary, there are few industries in
this country that have so much indie
pendent individual enterprise as cattle
raising. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
California, Nevada, Nebraska, Kansas,
Colorado and Missouri are dotted with
individual ranchers, owning from 100
to 5000 head of cattle; yet these are
the people who have received the ad-
vance in the price of beef, and they
have received it from the packers or
trust.-Gunton's Magazine for July.
