GatIing Gun Inventor Dead.

Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor
of the Gatling gun, died at the
home of his son-in-law, Hugh O.
Pentecost, in New York on Feb.
70, 'o3. Mr.. Gatling, the inventor
of the famous gun, resided at Hart
ford, Conn, and was IS years old.
He was born in North Carolina,
and while a boy assisted his father
in perfecting a machine for sowing
corn seed and another for turning
out cotton plants, and subsequently
invented one for sowing rice. He
was anticipated by Ericsson in the
discovery of screw propulsion,
but his ingenuity was successfully
rshown in devising machine fo
sowing wheat in drills. This was
in 1874.
Three years later he took up the
study of medicine in Connecticut,
but subsequently removed to
indianapolis, where he engaged in
railroad enterprises and real estate
speculations. 1850 he invented a
double acting hempweaver, and in
1861 produced his masterpiece, a
mitrailleuse or repeating machine
gun. AT his first trial the Gatling
gun fired 200 shots minute, but
he has gone on celebrating it ever
since, until now it fires something
like thousands of shots in the same
space of time.

Husband Should Pay Wife's
Funeral Expenses.

Macon, MO-, FEBRUARY I'd
When Morgan Williams of LaPlata
presented claims for doctors SER
vices and funeral expenses against
his deceased wife's estate in the
probate court to-day, and recon-
mended their allowance, Captain
Ben Eli Guthrie, representative of
the dead woman's relatives,
protested on the ground that the
husband was the proper party to
liquidate obligations, and said that
if the dministrator-Mr. Williams
allowed them out of his wife's
estate he would sue him on his
bond.
IF a man isn't able to bury
a woman he shouldn't marry her,
aid Captain Guthrie, in his
argument before Probate Judge
c. q. Buster. THE law says the
husband shall provide for his wife
food and raiment, pay her doctor
bills and furnish funeral expenses
when she dies. That is the con-
tract he assumed when he married
her. He has got to pay for the
coffin to put her in, hire man to
dig the grave and put nice tomb
stone at the head of it if he is a
good husband, and if he attempts to
allow one of these claims out of
her estate we will sue him on his
bond" Mrs. Williams died the
early part of the winter. Some
time previous, as business move
Mr.. Williams put his property in
his wife's name. He said the
estate was really his and that is
why he recommended the allowance
of the claims out of it. The pro-
testing heirs claim the property
belonged to the dead woman. The
bills amount to several hundred
dollars. Owing to the peculiar
complications in the case the
probate Judge asked for further
time to consider it. Williams wa:
at one time a wealthy and Influential
business man of La Plata.

MURDER IN MOBERLY.
Ode Coates Killed by Barbara
Brown.

Moberly had cold blooded muir
der last Sunday morning when Ode
Coates was shot and killed by Bar
bara Brown, wife of Hade Brown,
who conducts a restaurant and
gambling dive on West Coates street
in Moberly. Coates was about 80
years of age, and the nephew of
Hade Brown, husband of the wo-
man who shot him. The report is
that Coates was under the influence
of liquor and entered the restaurant
where the Brown woman was and
engaged in a dispute with her and
was finally ordered by her to leave
the house, but insisted on remain
ing when the woman drew a 3S re-

fled from the restaurant when the
woman firing shot which struck

DOES NOT ASK WIVES TO
OBEY.
A Missouri Judge Refuses to
Include Question in
Ceremonies.

Macon, Mo-, Feb. 2S.-In his
first marriage ceremony Judge n.
M. Shelton of the second judicial
circuit called the attention of the
bride to the fact that he had not
obligated her to obey her husband.
II noticed that you didn't" said
the young woman, "and l think
it real nice of you. ! don't think
there ought to be any boss" in
matter like this.
The young benedict was SO
happy in hearing her say yes"
that he didn't care what was
done about the other words in the
ceremony.
Judge Shelton gave his reasons
thus for disregarding the pledge
of obedience in the marriage
ceremony: "If man is worthy
woman's love and obedience she
accords them to him instinctively.
If he is brute to her he forfeits
all claim to her loyalty and affection
in justice, and should in law. This
pledge of obedience till death do
part is pretty serious. Suppose
he gets drunk and beats her?
Would anyone say she should get
down on her knees and let him
order her aroundf My experience
is that the average woman is far
better than the average man, and
that most of the time she gets the
worst of it when she marrics him.
To be real candid about it, | often
wonder that such nice woman as
| Mrs. Shelton married me. But she
did it-God bless her and it is
about the only thing | ever
questioned her judgment about.
Seriously, the obey pledge is use
less. Husband and wife is part
nership concern, lasting for all
time. Their interests are mutual.
If the marriage is congenial
obedience to each others wishes
follows as matter of course. If
they are mismated, no law can make
them love and obey"

that it was possible is entirely owing
