 It appears that the negroes ill the vicinity of Wabbaseha gave a grand festival which was largely attended cn Christmas night. After the fes- tival negro named Morgan escorted Jones' wife home, but before reach ing their destination the jealous hus- band met them, and TOW resulted. Pistols were drawn and used with telling effect, so 1t seems from subse- quent events. At the time of the af- fray, however, it was not believed

FARMER-OUT HIGHWAYS,

The railroad, by all the laws of the nations, is quite as much highway as is wagon road But instead of levying direct taxes for keeping up the rail-highways Gas do the people of Prussia, Austria, Switzerland and other cCuntries) we Americans @farm cut the power of taxation to private individuals organized as railroad corporation. The old kings farmed cut the power of ordinry taxation to their favorite barons in the same way The instrument that conveys this pow CT upon railroad company is "char- ter It gives the ra lroad company the right to operate the rail-highways and to charge a freight rate Ga tax for doing it. Railroad presidents and directors are thus by appointment made the tax collecting representa- tlves of the people. For railroads are not now and never were, private property, like farm or a grocery store. They are highways.
 The first essential of tax is that i; shall be just To establish that roint the Anglo Saxon people have shed rivers of blood; our English an- cestors revolted against the old ba- rons who taxed both unequally and ex- tortionately. Our American pregeni: tors tossed the English tea into Boston harbor and fought from Lexington to Yorktown to establish the princi- pie of fair taxation.

THE NEW EDUCATION.

"The question in regard to school hours should not be how long they can be made and the child retain it's health, but how short they can before the acquisition of knowledge which his years call for writes Dr. Grace P. Murray in the January Delineator. "In no direction of bringingq up child ren do the parents show such igno. rance as in regard to school life. Mothers should make themselves in- telligent upon all questions pertaining to school hygiene. They should know first of all that the schoolroom, in Which the children are to stay from three to five hours daily. is fit place; that the school is not OvercroWded;
 that the best authorities agree that the number of scholars to which teacher can do justice should be not more than forty, and that smaller number would be better; that each child should be allowed two hundred cubic feet of space in the schoolroom, otherwise he will not have sufficient
 air: that the temperature should be according to the thermometer 65 to GS degrees; that the light should
 fall upon the books which the child ic studying, in order to do which there should be plenty of windows in the schoolroom. Every mother should inform herself of these matters. It iA due to her children to see that their education is conducted along lines which are the most beneficial for their bodies as we'll as for their minds"

YOUNG DAV!D sLAYS A GOLIATH
Rey Kills a Seven-Foot Gnat With
 Small Stone, as in Biblical Tale.

Columbia. Mo-, Dec. 29-A stone nc larger than walnut, thrown py Henry Jonas, an 1S-year-old boy, calls- cd the death yesterday of MlcheH Shadrick, known as the Boone couh' tv giant, Shadrick was nearly seven feet in height.
 Shadr. elk had trouble with the Jon as family, and yesterday the trouble terminated in an encounter between the yicaim and two Jonas brothers, as well as several other farm hands. Shadr ok struck at one of the broth CTS, H. A. Jonas, across the top Of a fence, and Harry Jonas took up the fight in behalf of his brother.
 Jonas picked up small stone and throw if at Shadrick. The latter turned his head to dodge, but the ,,eissel struck him beh nd the left ear.
 The giant whirled about, threw up l,is hands and fell to the ground. He tried to rise, but fell back and was dead within an hour. The missile left no visible wound.
 No coffin could be found in Colum- bia long enough to contain the body of the dead man, and it was necessary for a casket to be made to order. The yictin: was considered to be the most powerful man in this section of the state, and his death is referred to as the David and Goliath combat brought up to date.

 Thursday afternoon, the dead body of George Jones was discovered near the scene Of the shooting, and he vas punctured with bullet holes. The negro Morgan disappeared the night of the shooting, and has never shown up. It is now believed that he met a fate similar to Jones', and the ne gros are now looking for his dead body. So far their efforts to locate him have been unavailing.
