An Accident and Suicide.

Charleston, S. c., November &c.
Col. f. Miller BOykin, United States
marshal for this State under Cleveland
and q leading banker Of Camden, killed
himself accidentally this afternoon.
After reaching home he picked up
his gun, which had a complicated re-
versible action, and went out to shoot
| afterwards. lying dead while his gun
was found leaning on the opposite side
of the fence. The supposition is that
,, as he started to climb t::a fence he e1s
the gun over the fence at the same
time making motion to get over HIM
self, when the gun was discharged.
and such was the verdict Of the corO-
ner's jury.
He was president of the DeKalb cot
Bank and other large corporations, and
was probably the leading citizen Of the
town
He was delegate to the National
Democratic Convention which nomina-
ted Cleveland in 1884.
Charleston, s.: e.. Nov. 16.-The
suicide OF E. c. Zenp, cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of Cam
den, shocked the people of the town
tai self-destruction of Col. E. Miller
Boykin, president of the bank. Short
| ly after receiving the news of the death
of Colonel BOykin, Mr.. Zemp left his
home ostensibiy to 20 over to Mr.. Boy
kin's nearby, but instead went 20 his
barn and committed suicide, shooting
himself with a pistol through the
mouth. Few men were held in higher
esteem in Camden than Mr.. Zemp. A
dispatch to the News and Courier from
Camden says:
"If there is apy shortage in the
Banks accounts, it is not known, but
IL meeting of the directors will be held
in the morning and thorough inves-
tigation will follow. In view OF the
death of the president and cashier the
bank will necessarily be closed for q
day or 30, when it is thought its busi.
ness will be resumed as usual"

The Fashion In Dogs.

The fashion in dogs changes so
quickly nowadays that it is difficult
to know what particular breed is Gin.
Ladies are the chief movers in the
matter of canine modes, and the pro-
verbal feminine fckleness causes
much trouble to the dog dealers, who
arc suddenly called upon to supply an
unexpected demand for some hitherto
neglected breed.
A short time ago, for instance, Jap
anesc pugs were all the rage; before
then the ugly little Belgian griffons,
elbows and schipperkes. Now it has
been rumored that the fashion Of
Charles lis time Of carrying "arm
dogs" which has been derived by one
Of the leading London actresses, will
create g new demand for miniature
species. Mr.. Wilson. the we'll known
dog fsncier and dealer, however, says
that he has heard nothing about it.
"There is always good demand for
small dogs, such as Yorkshire terriers,
especially for pets for elderly ladies'
he added, "and the smaller they are
the better. But, Of course, the fash
ionable dog of the moment is without
question the French toy bulldog. I
am con stantly asked to supply these,
and sometimes I am offered practically
any sum if l can get really good dog.
''An average price for a well bred
specimen is from $50 to 910O, but the

Do not go West.

Every now and then we hear of some
body selling out and going West.
When we see men doing this our first
thought is to lay them across our ed
itorial lap and spank them until they
repent and look ct things right.
But we desist. Spanking is not
gontiemauiy, nor allowable under the
laws of the country, even If we were
able to inHict it.
People who think, however, and all
Of us have some kind Of thinker on US,
can see that there is o big wave Of de-
velopment starting in this section that
is destined to sweep US on with great
impetus. AS e cotton country there
is no prospect for us probably-noth-
ing big at least, but as manufactur-
ing field the greatest hopes are held
out. for this is the home OF the
water power and machinery cannot
long live where there is not reliable
and everlasting water power. This
development is.. hardly started we'll
enough yet to see it, but if the people
would trouble to look and inquire they
would hear Of the hundreds Of people
who are looking into the vast possibili-
ties of this ss0tion, and vino viii by
and by locate here beyond all doubt.
Do not go West. This is faT the
better section to live in, and it's COM
ing out far ahead OF the West in the
final round.up.-Tocooa Record.

A MILLION FOREIGNERS
Added Annually to the Population Of the
United States.

il million foreigners added annual
ly to the population Of the United
States.
That extraordinary increase is one
Of the greatest problems that concern
American citizenship to-day. 1t
is beyond all records, beyond all
expectations, and yet it seems GER
tain from the recent figures of i'm
migration. During the las. fiscal
year-we use the statistics OF the
national bureau of immigration-857-
046 immigrants were landed in this
country, an increase of 32 per cent
over the number received during the
previous year. Less than the sane
increase during the current twelve
months will carry the total above the
million mark.
No wonder tho subject gathers new
gravity with each stage of its discus
sion. Here are the races of the world
hurrying to these shores, bringing
little and thinking that they arc to
realize riches without the toll which
burdens their lives in another hemis
phere.
From standpoint of geography
there would seem to be slight objec-
tion. Millions of acres Of land in the
United States arc still uncultivated
and are waiting the touch of the hoe
TO laugh in the harvest. There is q
cry for hell on the farms all the way
from New England to the Gulf, from
the rice fields of the Carolinas to the
vineyards Of southern California But
tho trouble is that these people do
not 60 to the fields and the forests.
They do not flock to the agricultural
opportunities or seek production
which will add to the real wealth Of
the country.
Most Of them stay in the cities and
thus inevitably make worse the prob
lens Of living, of overcrowding and
of vice, which affiiot all our munici
paiities.
In the first part of the last century
comparatively few of tho people lived
in the cities. To-day Of every hun
drcd Americans thirty seven live in
cities Of over four thousand popula-
tion, and while the drift towards the
city was little less during the last
ten years than during the previous de-
cade it is quite certain that before
many yo6Ts oao-haif of ouf peopie vii,
be living in oities.
Already some Of our cities have in
certain sections tLe most crowded
populations in the world, and the
constant work Of the police and health
departmentsis necessary. It is i'm
possible for the right sort of oiti.
zenship to be born under these con-
ditions.
Most Of the immigrants come to us
With barely enough money to meet
tho regulations of admission. In
ehort time they are without meane,
and as few Of them are skilled labor

BURNED THE FACTORY.
McIntire Brothers Suffer a Loss

cotton was a stack of excelsior, clear 10
the ceiling. The rest of the room was
filed with mattresses In the basement,
directly under the FIRE, there are nun
dred thousand pounds of excelsior. The
basement is literally damned with the
inflammable stuff. It was an 0ppoI-
tunity for a destructive blaze such az
seldom occurs.
1t happened, however that hardly had
the fire started when it was discovered
by two policemen, who turned in an
alarm. Two streams of water were
turned into the building, and soon the
ire was under control, but it was two
hours until all the smOuldering cotton
and excelsior was quenched. The fire
did not have time TO burn through the
floor into the basement full of excelsior.
II was one of the best stops which the
Topeka department ever made.
Five minutes more said Chief VIII

would have burned through the floor,

OIL NEAR TOPEKA.
People On North Side Take
Steps to Find 1t.

A meeting of the business men of
North Topeka was held at fire station
No. l last evening. The meeting seems
to have had double purpose. and the
First WaId was well represented
AIR. y J. Hathaway presided, and T.
?. fillmore was elected secretary. Mr.
Hathaway stated that an evident Ge-
sire exists 10 know more of the secrets
lying oonccaied below the surface Of
northern Shawnee county, and called
upon Dir. Muliln to state some facts that
he had lean ed.
Mr. AIullin sid he had sunk 4 well
aias found SO much oil in the water that
II could not be used. and the well had
been abandoned Mr. Moody reported
practically the same condition. Mr.. H
M Steele called attention to the fact
that at times Of low water all alons
the banks of Soldier creek springs might
be seen sending out water unfit for use
and strongly impregnated with gas and
oleaginous matter; that all such liquid
If gathered and left standing for any
length of time would contain a large
percentage of such dark and highly
colOred mater.
1t was generally agreed that while
these conditions did not prove the ex-
istence Of oil or gas in quantities they
certainly did afford indications of oil
in the vicinity. either near or remote. It
appeared to be the consensus of opinion
that these indications would warrant
an effort to learn more OF their true
cause
On motion of J. B. Billiard two commit
tees We're appointed one consisting OF
A. NJ Baird, Mr.. Billiard declining to act
as chairman, Mr.. Billiard. and ]. B.
Belts. This committee is to make a can

raised in order to prospect for oil or gas
and to learn the probable cost of a

cation. Of business mems club, whose
object shall be to advance the material
interests of that part of the city and

held that the peculiar advantages Of
North Topeka have never received the
attention they deserve, ana that by spe-
ciaI efforts much may be done to add to
the Industries Of the city Various mat
ters were discussed more or less per
tlnent by several persons. and the meet
