KILLING AT SHEFFIELD
NJ. II. REEDER SLAIN BY J. B.
LAGoMARsINo.
The Latter One Of the wealthiest Men
Of the Town-Billiard Hall
the Scene Of the
Trouble.

Tuscumhia, Jan. 1e.-(Speciai.)-A trag-
edy was enacted at Sheffield Saturday
night, which resulted In the death of Miles
H. Reeder. q well known citizen resid-
ing a half mile from Tuscumbia, and
midway. between this city and Sheffield
at the hands of j. b. Lagomorsino, one
Of the most prominent and wealthy citi-
gems Of the latter place.
The facts as gathered by The Adver-
tiser correspondent are that Lagomarsino
and friend were engaged In game Of
billiards in ]. b. Gambilrs billiard par
lor and among the spectators was Reed
or The latter. who knew Lagomarsino
well, remarked in q friendly way. that so
and so, calling the name Of some one
present, could beat him. 1t is said that
this anRered Lagomarsino. who called
Reeder a d. lie. Reeder upbraided him
Tor the insult and one word brought on
another when suddenly Lagomarsino
dealt Reeder 3 heavy blow. telling him
to the floor.
Friends interfered and Reeder was as
sisted TO his feet and walked to a drug
store on the opposite side Of the street.
when a physician was hastily summoned.
but before he arrived Reeder died.
LaRomarsino IL q giant physically,
weighing over 800 pounds and fully six
feet tall, and the blow he dealt Is said to
have ruptured an artery in Reeder's neck.
II is further said that Lagomarsino
struck him over the heart and that Reed
or. affiicted with some organic heart trout
BILE. could not survive the shock. Lago-
marsino was arrested and readily gave
bond for his appearance at preliminary
hearing.
It is the general sentiment that Lago-
marsino had no intention OF killing Reed
er. and that no one regrets II more than
he.
The dead man was buried in Oakwood
Cemetery here Sunday afternoon. He
was an employe of the Southern RAN
way at the new shops near Tuscumbia
and sheffield, and was held In high es-
tenn. He was about IS years of age. and
leaves a wife and several children. among
the latter being two grown sons.
Lagomarsino Is an italian by birtn ana
also has a wife and children. He came
to sheffieId a number OF years ago where
he has amassed a fortune. For several
years he operated the shedieid Hotel
one Of the handsomest buildings IN the
state and enjoys wide acquaintance
with the travelling public. He has invest.
cd a large amount Of money In shefield
property, and is considered one OF the
wealthIest citizens OF that city.

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make It the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of ill health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, ~drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition of
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and com.
Plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
Hyodr dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.
1t makes and keeps the children well.

Yankton's School Troubles.

We notice by the Yankton papers
that their school trouble is still IN
settled. Some charges have been
made against the Superintendent of
the city schools, but not in any par
ticuIar specified form, and a portion
of the citizens cannot understand
why the board Of education does not
take cognizance of the reports that
are being cirulated around town for
sufficient basis to release the super
intendent. The president Of the
board has taken the wisest possible
course by calling a meeting of the
board for next week. At this meet
ing the public is given the right to
present charges in writing and with
the signature Of the person who is
prepared to s~ubstantiate the charges.
The chances are that there will be
no charges preferred, and that the
meeting will have little TO do in in
vestigating what is common property
around the town. People are prone
to talk among themselves about this
and that with reference to the
managers Of the schools, but wien it
comes to substantiating the charges
and standing sponsor for them, in
diyiduals, as a general rule. do not
care to press the charges. Yankton
has been in the throes of this trouble
for some time and the school board
has got at the right thing to put a
stop to it, and nothing Will do it any
quicker than to ask.some person or
persons to sign a statement with the
charges preferred over their names.
