TWO SLAIN IN DUEL
Two Boone County Farmers Engage
 in Duel and Both are Killed

Harrison, July 19.-Poor fences, al- lowing one mans stock to trespass upon the property of another. is be- lie9ed to be the immediate cause of the death. of two citizens of the Bear Creek neighborhood, in this county, Thomas Crawford dying late yesterday afternoon, while Thomas Cox passed away this morning, following difficult ty yesterday.
 The details of the tragedy are some what meagre, but it appears that there has been an i'll feeling between the men for some time, resulting from poor fences around the property Of Craw- ford, allowing livestock belonging to Cox to enter Grawford's $ fields Cox and Crawford, the former accompanied by his son, met yesterday afternoon and renewed the trouble, in which Crawford fired charge from a shot gun. Cox was no near that he seized the gun in an effort to protect himself The charge of shot tore away one of Cox's hands and part of the lead lodged in his breast. But Cox, aided by his son. oyerpowered Crawford, took the gun from him, and emptied the other barrel into his head, killing him instantly. In additdn to shooting Crawford in the head, Cox is said to have beat his antagonist over the head with the gun.
 At the time of the difficulty it was not believed that Coxs injures were serious, but he died at 10 o'clock this morning.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE

The country school house should not become neglected and permitted to get into bad repair. Young people do not like to spend day after in an illy- swept, oor-arranged building, even though it is devoted to the cause of education. If the on-coming genera tion is to obtain all the benefit natur- ally arising from education the temple of learning must be an attractive building and must be comfortable. Too little attention too often is given to the school house, and but little thought is given of the health and com fort of the children receiving their ed ucation in the country school house. Remember, these youths are to rule the land later in life.

engages in this industry. Anordinary family can be independent by judicious- ly handling few acres. All of our hill land can be converted into small fruit farms, and thereby support teeming population.
 Every business man should be inter- ested in this movement, for it means more people for our rural districts, and without the people, a town will die. Already a great many people have gone away from both town and coun- try around ns, and this movement, if carried out, will bring them back.
 It is q laudable movement, and believe if engaged in with earnest pur- pose and zeal, will bring to both farm CT and business man, much prosperity, comfort and pleasure, when fully con- sumated. Respectfully,

THE SHEATH. GOWN"
 Is COMING HERE

Perhaps the forerunner of dread epidemic. possibly a revolutiontzing agent Tn the customs of the city, the much heralded sheath gown is on It's way to Montgomery. Surrounding Miss Blanche Aldrach. who will sing at the Orpheum this week. the garment will be exhibited this week to the greedy gaze of the curious.
 The peculiar type of gown to which the name :sheath" has been applied is a contraption of the Parisian brain. forever fertile in conception and execu- tion, in fact from descriptions of the article of dress which have been ob- tained. the term appears to be some what inappropriate. The sheath gown does not sheathe the form as complete Iy as the mother hubbard and other commonplace garments which have achieved no distinction whatsoever. The startling characteristic of the sheath" is said to lie in a deficiency located on the left side, the deficiency being created by lack of cloth at that par l ticular juncture.
 The lady who will wear the sheath" Is Miss Blanche Aldrach who has con- siderable reputation as a singer and comedienne. She Is described as tall and stately, has a beautiful face, a wealth of luxurious hair and a grace fuT figure. In addition to her person. al charms. Miss Aldrach is said to be an artist
 For the past several weeks, Miss Aldrach has been doing vaudeville The unusual feature of her performances are that she is unassisted by anything or anybody--except the sheath gown That is declared to be sufficient for the popularity of the actress.
 Beginning Monday night, Mss Aid rach will appear at the orpheum in the sheath gown, her act being declar- ed sensational and highly entertaInInw. Another act of great merit has been se- cured by the Orpheum management. but the strong feature of their bill will undoubtedly be the lady and the gown.
