Maddened by Fear.

Phoenix, Ariz., April 21.-An in cident of peculiar sadness occurred here today, when Mrs. Chas. Bauer was committed to the insane asy- lum.
 A few months ago Charles Kin stler assaulted Mrs. Bauer. Her husband, who was expecting his ar rival at the house, was secreted in closet. He emerged and shot Kintsler dead. Bauer, though ex- onerated by the coroner's jury, was formally held to the grand jury, which exonerated him last Friday. During these months the affair preyed on Mrs. Bauer's mind till her reason was dethroned. She seems content as long as her hus- band is in her presence, and is de- voted to him. But she is Swede, unfamiliar with American customs, and the moment he leaves the room she grows hysterical and imagines her husband is to be jailed.
 En route to the court house to- day she tried unsuccessfully to throw their two children off a troll ley car. Bauer says she has threat ened to kill the children. The scene in the court room was pitiful. Each in turn wept while the other offered words of comfort

Williams Rifle Club.

Last Sunday a meeting was held for the reorganization of the Will jams Rife club. E. H. Simpson was elected captain and C. A. Neal secretary and treasurer. The club starts off with a membership of twenty-one, and an increase is promised.
 The old shooting grounds have been thoroughly overhauled and the first shoot will be held tomor- row. In order to keep up more in terest, it might not be a bad idea to consolidate the shotgun and rife clubs, in which case adjoining grounds could be used, and a large attendance would always be assured.

"A neighbor ran in with a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy when my son was suffering with severe cramps and was given up as beyond hope by my regular physician, who stands high in his profession. After ad- ministering three doses of it, my son regained consciousness and re- covered entirely within twenty-four hours" says Mrs. Mary Haller, of Mt. Crawford, Va. This Remedy is for sale by the Williams Drug Co.

KILLED BY A NEGRO.
Dock BarheId Was struck with n
Scantling.

ScantIing.
Fort Valley, Ca, Dec. 24.-Dock Bar
field, farmer living four miles from
here, in Crawford county, was killed
last night by VIII Langford. a negro.
Barfield was in a wagon being driven
by the negro and began using profane
language. The negro demonstrated as
the negro's wife was an occupant of
the wagon. To this Barfield took ex-
ception, and hot words were passed
The wagon was stopped. and as Bar
lied was getting out the negro picked
up a scantilng in the wagon and dealt
him terrific blow just over the eyes,
fracturing the skull.
After falling senseless on the ground
the pTostrate man was dealt another
heavy blow over the right ear, making
hole from which the brain oozed.
Barfield was struck at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon and died at o'clock this
morning, having never regained con-
seriousness. He leaves a wife and six
small children in almost destitute cir
cumstances. The negro heretofore
bore reputation for peacefulness. He
made good his escape, but the officers
expect to apprehend him, shortly. If
he is caught. the law will be allowed to
take its course. though the neiGhbor-
hood is much excited over the affair.

WAS TOO MUCH WHISKEY.

That was the Cause of the Shooting
of stevens.
Tallahassee, Fla, Dec. 24.-It appears
that the shooting of John A. Stevens
by Amos Alexander last Friday near
Natural Bridge came about while a
party of young men were returning
home from Tallahassee. Arriving in
the neighborhood of Natural Bridge
Stevens said he had package to de-
liver to Mr.. Horn. Alexander objected
1t seems there was too much whiskey
in the party Stevens package that
he had to deliver to Horn was whiskey
and from reports the members of the
party had been drinking pretty free
ly. The shooting resulted from Alex
ander Directing TO Stevens delivering
the whiskey to Horn and was without
any just provocation as far as can be
learned. On Monday Deputy Sheriff
Hopkins brought to town Frank Burns
Edward Hamlin and Amos Alexander
all implicated and present when the
shooting took place. Stevens wound
being likely to prove fatal, the parties
had to be held, and not giving the re-
quired bond they were taken to jail
TO be held pending the result of Stevens
wounds.
The Supreme Court has taken a re.
cess until Jan. 5.

the way up Conductor Ben Petty had
two difficulties with him while trying
to keep him quiet. AS the train was

reached for his pistol, when Petty shot
him through the breast, from which
he died at Blichton soon afterwards.
Just after the shooting another ne
gro jumped off the train and shot at
the conductor.
This morning Sheriff Kendrick of
this county went down with the train,
out everything was quiet. The negro
was troublesome fellow.
A young man named John Swain,
from Morristown, on the Brewton and
Plneora route, was put off the Brew

Manahan of the Americas paid de-

markable one for a city of Americas

nowadays. particularly the young per-
son. The young person takes a very
gloomy view of life, and chooses his lit
| erature accordingly. At eighteen a
youth is too serious minded to find a
humorous book palatable; it is only
when he becomes a man of, say forty
eight, that he can see or appreciate the
| light side of things. I have no Stats
tics handy, but I should say that there
are more people under the age of forty
eight than over it, consequently your
humorous writer has to be content
with comparatively moderate circu-
lation.
Now, the mission of all writer's"
continued Mr. Jerome, sis to represent
| life as it is. Life has it's comedy as
we'll as its tragedy. Humor is only an
other word for common sense It is a
part of life. You cannot ignoreh umor
! If you would take an intelligent view
| of existence. Yet the serious writer
manages to do so, and seemingly
| thrives upon it. This is a world Of
| complications.
The visitor reminded Mr.. Jerome of
| the rumor that he proposed to enter
parliament. He fought shy of any def
infte statement on the point, although
he admitted that he had lately adj
dressed several political meetings. Mr..
Jerome is not unacquainted with par
liamentary procedure. In his young
days he frequented the reporters gal
lery.
EST. Stephens is regarded as dull
place, Mr. Jerome. Did you ever find
any humor there?'
Never" he replied. ''The parlia-
| mentarian knows better than to in
dulge in humor. 1t has deprived this
country of more than one capable
statesman-Sir Wilfrid Lawson, for ex-
| ample. A shrewd clever man, he
would have been cabinet minister
had he not acted contrary to the adj
vice of his friends and persisted in
making humorous speeches. The habit
killed him politically, and the same
fate awaits Mr.. Tommy Bowles I'M
less he mends his ways. The public
imagines that a statesman with a sense
of hunor must necessarilyta Ike a flip
pant view of things-even of an educa-
ton bill. If statesman discovers that
he is possessed of vein of humor he
would do well to reveal it only to his
most trustworthy friends. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill realized the value of
this discretion. He was naturally a
brilliant humorist, but in the house he
repressed himself with obvious care
TN addressing the political meetings
which I attended," proceeded Mr.. Je-
rome, II always found that it was ex-
ceedingly easy to provoke loud laugh
ter A little humor goes long way
with the voter. Therefore, if I have an
anecdote to tell ] tone it down consid-
erably. If I go to st. Stephens I shall
be as solemn as the most portentious
member of the house."
"In short, Mr.. Jerome, both asp oliti-
clan and writer, you desire to be taken
serious1y?"
''In the former capacity certainly; in
the latter-well, there are obvious quail
ifications. philadelphia Press.

MAYOR LOVES DIFFICULTIES.

the benefits Of the eight-hour law are
enjoyed by Seth Low. He is no sshirk.
He has municipal matters for break
fast, dinner and supper with more than
an occasional repast when others are
asleep. To put it bindly, he is making
good. To put it ornamentally, he is es-
tablishing a standard likely to be allu-
ded to long after cares of any sort have
ceased to trouble him. To use an ugly
term, there was almost universal off,
cial rottenness when he took the reins.
1t is reasonably certain that the city is
now receiving as near dollars worth
for a dollar as municipal corporation
can secure. That is almost a revolu-
ton. Also that will probably come to
be regarded as an essential, as an off
set to petty exactions, as something
worth paying for at even the price of
patience. Mr.. Low has made up his
mind that he will have had enough of
it year hence. He is under no obliga-
lions to make a bid for a renewal Of
the contract now in process of tireiess
fuIflment. AT the end of his term the
obligations will be all the other way.
The city will be his Extraordinarily
Union.
