NEGRO KILLED AT A MEETING.
Homicide Near Preston Occurs on
Sunday.

Sunday.
Information reached Americas yes
terday OF a homicide occurring near
Preston on Sunday evening, wherein
Joe Phillips, we'll known negro, was
shot to death by Bill Ellis, alias Bill
Sheppard. The shooting, it is said,
was without cause.
The homicide occurred at a big ne
gro campmeeting.
After shooting his victim dead, Ellis
waved his pistol about his head and
walked away. Later, at the advice of q
white citizen of the county, he came
in and gave up.
Particular interest attaches to the
killing of Joe Phillips.
At the April term of court he was an
important witness for the state IN the
case of Henry Morgan and Sid Harrell,
the white men charged with burning
the town of Preston in April last
Henry Morgan was convicted and is

Harrells trial, presumably, will take
place at the October term of Webster
superior court, The dead negro testi-
fed against Morgan. But he cannot
now testify against Harrell.
The slayer, Bill Ellis, lives on the
farm of one of the Harrell's, 1t was said
here yesterday.
Many negroes saw Ellis shoot Phil
lips at the meeting Sunday. One re-
port is that he called Phillips aside,
struck him with an umbrella and then
shot him through the brain. AS Phil
lips fell, Ellis is said to have pat sec.
ond bullet into him.
The negro killed was unsrmed, il
is said. Sensational Developments are
rather expected.

LOOK AT THE uypRAST AND VOTE

Year after year st. Louis had a hope but not an
expectation that the day of clear water was near.
Attached TO the hope was belief that Qualification
would cost in tie original investment, from $1,-
100000 10 Si0.OO0.000 or mOre and it was on ac-
count of the condition that the people, in desiring
clear water. never felt Il certainty.
The Wells administration took hold of the prob
lem in quiet. businesslke way. Just prior to the
opening of the Worlds Fair houscholders stood in
amazement beside their bathtubs and wondered
whether they still dreaming about pelIucid
springs out in the wildwOods whether this liquid
which they looked upon real water from the
real Mississippi. They touched the liquid. tasted
it, wet their eyes with it, and began the days work
with elevating meditations about good government
and purity in public office.
st. Louis has not had TO pay S400O0.0OO for clear
water 1t has not had to change the source of sup
ply. 1t has not had to build enormous impounding
reservoirs 1t has not had 10 condemn towns for
conduit right of way. Ii has not had to purchase
acres of land. Ii has not had TO dispose of prop
erty worth millions of dollars. 1t has not had 10 go
into debt. 1t has not had to reconstruct the service
system. 1t has not been obliged to raise questions
about the possibility of any scandal 1t has not
had 10 wait years perhaps years indefinite 10 get
clear water. II has had 10 bother with technic
al and financial discussions 1t got clear water in
the middle of the Wells administration; got cenr
water without any shouting, with little initial ex-
pense. at current expense comparatively insigniti-
cant: got clear water without knowing about the
plans until the work was finished.
The clear water is practical argument for the
pure vote. The Wells administration promised to
provide clear water when it promised to give good
government. 1t went TO work in businesslike
way completed the plans. made experiments quiet
ly. looked for economy. improved the plans and
then. minus any effort for cheers from the gallery.
turned clear water into the mains. This an
other demonstration of good government
Citizens rightly take this Improvement as prac-
teal real argument Why repudiate good govern
ment?. Why repudiate profitable economical gov
ernment: Why repudate clear water? Why have
any kindly feeling for the gang and for spolsism:
If good government. means the punishment of GRIM
inals, the establishment Of administrative standards
and complete reform, it is good government that
the citizens must approre-for civic. selfish and
moral reasons. In looking ut the clear water think
of the results of good government

COURTHOUSE PAINTINGS
MAY SOON BE RESTORED.
Councils Inquiry as to Cause of Idle
Appropriation Probably Will
Bring About Renovation.

The inquiry of the City Council as to
why the Courthouse had not been re-
painted and repaired and the oil paintings
In the dome restored probably will lead to
some near action being taken to use the
money which was appropriated last April
FOR those purposes
In all $500 has been waiting in the
Somptroller's Office for the renovation Of
the Courthouse. but conflicting schemes
as TO how the work should be done has
caused delay. Building Commissioner
Heimberger's proposed method Of cleaning
and painting. it Is said, would have been
IN excess Of the amount appropriated. The
amouht set aside for painting and CLEAN
ing the exterior and restoring the paint-
ihes or Wimar in the dome was 600.
Appropriations were also made for paint
ing and decorating the interior and erect
Ing me necessary scaffolding. 1t was said
that the appropriated amount for ali of the
proposed expenditures was sufficient TAX
ing previous paintings as basis
But Building Commissioner Heimbereer
u IS SAID proposed a method of cleaning
ana painting which would require q 8.0I1
put which would insure a more tlloroupf,

RECENT COMMENT.
rncome una Family Protection.

The Independent.
Let that the young thirty years old;
that he has wife of the age; that they have
one child and propose to have not exceed more
three children being Tong family Ito use the Devon
shire phrase) according to the modern scale Let us
suppose further that the has n permanent place
and is receiving salary of 5000 year.
First, then. what does such need as protection
agas unfavorable contingencies life and death for
himself and his family ana what share of his income
would 1t take to provide this needfuI protection?
The planest chance against which a provision Is
needed is the chance that the young may and
leave his wife a widow. The husband will admit if
pressed that In that his wife ought secured
an income for as long she lives OF at least $50 a
month. Or $40 life insurance company could
be found which would this obligation for an an
nual payment OF 1882 This Is the lowest price at which
this obligation could be purchased arrangement
would return nothing the husband in case the wife
should die first The annual payment would be merely
so much money spent every out of the mans in
cone-spent. may say. for the comfort of mind of
himself and his wife in knowing that her future ve
hood was certain 1t be objected that there is no
need OF securing to the possible widow an income aso-
lutey for life, since she may very likely marry again
This Is true. and II insurance company could he
found which would sell future income the wife tn
begin only In case she became widow and to continue
only az long as she remained a widow, fer a lower
price than the income to continue life then no
doubt the lower-prced article would fill the REQUIRE
ment. There is, however no life insurance co,nn.ny
which would sell this kind OF contract and even IL there
were the statistics OF remdrrage of widows that
1t would not be safe. theoretically to deduct more
than 10 cent from the price In consideration of ta
cessation at remarrage. Practically, therefore in or
der TO meet the reasonable need the wife that .o
should not. II she becomes a widow he placed n III.
position where she must marry for living the con-
tract We have proposed is necessary.
