DENIED WIFE A KISS.
Forthwith Mrs. Sarah Bostic Slew Her Husband at Charlottesville, Mo-
 Held for Murder.

Charlottesville, Mo-, Sept. 15.-Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Bostic shot and killed her husband, Thomas A. Bostic, last night about 12 o'clock.
 The tragedy occurred at their resi- dence in this city. Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Bostic sent for a physician and the police. Dr. Grove and Policeman Kelley responded. The officer and physician found the woman standing over her husband bathing his head. Sbe said, "Doctor, do all you can for him; save his life if pos sible.n
 Bostic was lying on cot He was shot with 38-calibre pistol, the ball entering the back of his head and coming out over the right eye Pow der burns were around the wound in the back of his head. He could not have moved after being shot, although it was three hours later when he ceased to breathe
 This looks like bad case,' said Policeman Kelley.
 "Yes," responded the woman, ''but 1 had to do it. My husband came home mad tonight. I got up and opened the door for him. He un- dressed and lay down on the cot. asked him if he would make up and kiss me good night. He said that he wanted none of my kisses and that he would end it all. He then started to get up. l thought he intended to kill me, as he often said he would. 1 was standing near the head of my bed, about six feet from where my husband lay. l reached under my pillow and got the pistol and shot him before he could rise. He was not drinking.''
 Mrs. Bostic and her two sons, Auria and Joseph Marlborough, II and Is years of age, were arrested and locked in the county jail.

INDICATIONS POINT
 TO COTTON SHORTAGE.

Following is the weather bureaus weekly bulletin on crops in Arkansas for the week ending September IA:
 The temperature was nearly sea- sonal with copious and fairly we'll dis tributed showers on the 10th; rain is still needed, however, over the state for fall blowing. Cotton has made no improvement and in some sections has lost ground and indications point to a short crop. However, rain and a late fall would improve the general prospects. There is still some com plaint of shedding and rust, and boil worms and sharp shooters are iniur- ing it in some sections; it is beginning to open and picking has begun, but it is not general.
 Late corn is suffering from lack of moisture and does not promise to make full crop; early corn is made and is an average crop. Having and fodder pulling are nearly completed; good yields of excellent quality were secured. Late potatoes and turnips are coming up, but are not doing very well, owing to continued dry weather. Sweet potatoes, field peas, sorghum and cane are good crops, and sweet potatoes are being harvested. As rule pastures continue good. The late apple crop will be short, and the quality inferior; peaches are almost failure and pears are scarce.

ma odlous PolI rax.

The collection Of the poll tax yes
terday resulted in the payment by
119 persons, the receipts aggregating
1857. Street Commissioner Griswold
stated that these polls e all paid
in the old wards Of the city that none
were collected In the new wards. He
stated that some OF the citizens Of
Salem were sore" at him because he
had collected the tax. and he thought
that he really ought to be thanked for
accommodating the people by placing
= man at n polls. where they could
pay the tax they were anxious to
liquidate. In most cases this tax was
put up" by campaign committees and
interested candidates. and there were
not many cases where the voters paid
che tax themselves.
