The Exhuberant Exaggerator.

Huntington, W. Va, May s.
Wallace Messer yesterday shot and
killed his brother in law, Jacob Nc
Clellan, near the mouth Of Burning
creek, on Big Sandy river,
Messer had recently professed re-
ligiom at revival meeting conducted
by rural evangelist. Since then
he has been one of the most feryent
Of the exhorters, praying necessarily
for the conversion of sinners and re-
toicing daily in his new-found happi-
ness. He began to show deep IN
terest in the spiritual welfare Of his
brother In law, Mcclellan He o'fer-
ed special prayers and yesterday az
ternoon had a special gathering Of
the leaders In the revival movement
at his hume, In course of which
concerted petitions were offered.
Mcclellan seemed immoyable and at
last Messsr began to despair Of his
conversion
II Is said that he bro1ded over
the affair until his mind was de-
throled, and that be imagined he
had vision which bada him to slay
the brother-in-law and destroy the
body that the soul might be saved
In obsdience with ghis fancied ccm-
missIen Messer loaded a shotgun with
heavy bueksh5t and called Mcclellan
to the door Muttering what has
since been interpreted as being an
iaooherent explanation Of his mis-
slcn and its source he fired The
charge at short range into the BODY
Of the unsusp4cting mla, Mcclellan
fell to the floor mortally wounded.
It IS said that Messer cJolly re-
turned home, telling whom he met
on the way Of the vision he had
seon and OF the awful manner in
which he had fulfilled its mandates.
He was taken in caarge by the au-
thoritles. and will probably be tried
under lunacy charge Both men
We're we'll 10 do in their home
county
The eShuberant exaggerator who
expresses these extraordinary .xtra-
yaganizas to an excitable and exas-
perated and exhausted people has
again made an exhibition Of himself
For his stipend Of perhaps eleven
cents or lhereabouts he has worked
up a trivial occurrence into a case
Of murder sifted from the chafi
there Is grain or Two Of truth
Messer was fanatical on what some
people call religion. and fired at and
slightly wounded Mcclellan. That's
all But, as ii several other instan-
ces the ru,n was not blood curd-
ling, and tragedy must be evolved

SOME CHANGES IN THE
STATEHOOD BILL
How Prohibition P1a K
Bends Changes In
District.

TIE Foraker amendment merely pro-
poses that the people OF Arirona and
New Mexico shall be allowed to vote sep
arateiy as tc whether they care to como
into the union as . single state and Il
ls pretty certain that an overwhelming
majority OF the people - Arizons are
opposed TO joint statehood, the adop-
tion OF such an amendment would be
tantamount TO a defeat OF the omnibus
feature of the bill II even fourteen re-
publican senators should vote FOR this
amendment its adoption would be as
sured, for the democrats would be unan-
imously In favor OF It.
The fact seems to be that there Is Just
AZ little prospect for the passage Of the
bill In the senate as there was for the
success OF the insurrectory movement In
the house. Either the senate win adopt
the Foraker amendment or atrike out OF
the bin the part relating to New Mexico
and Arizona. The only question Is
whether the house win then accept the
amended bill. There are some who think
1t will not. The more general and
therefore the better, opinion is how
ever, that the house. the speaker and
the president himself win subdue their
pride and interpose no further opposi-
tion 30 Oklahoma and Indian Territory.
The measure In this amcDded form
win pass tae senate soon enough 10 pre-
ciude effective filibuster. The bill as II
passed tho house differs In two slight
particulars from the synopais hereto
fore printed in the Leader. the changes
having been made only last week The
more important OF these Is with respect
to the sale OF liquor. 1t provides. as was
explained before, that llcuor shall not
be sold in what is now Indian Territory,
nor In the Usage reservation, but 1t au-
thorizes the legislature 70 permit the es-
tablishment Of one agency in each town
OF 1000 -, moro people for the sale OF
liquor for medicinal purposes. II n
county have no town OF that size It
shall, nevertheless be entitled to one
such agency. These agencies shall be
permitted to sell only on the sworn
statement OF the applicant. which shall
show for what purpose the ltduor is
wanted, and 1t shall Furthermore be ac-
companied by physicians prescription.
A change was also made in the method
OF describing the congressional districts.
In the Original bin they were described
in Indian Territory in astronomical way
now they are named by recording dis
tricts. District no. Is made Of the
Chociaw nation and Recording Districts
10. -. % and &c. Congressional Dis
trict No. is TO be composed OF Greer
Roger Mills. Kiowa, Whshta. Comanche
Cleveland and Pottlwatomie counties n
Oklahoma, and Recording Districts II

Congressional District No Is to bs
composed Of the Cherokee, Creek ant

vation lying northeast Of the Cherokee
