KILL. LISTERS sUITOR.
The Slayer Says He MistoOk the
Victim for a Burglar.

Huntsville, Mo-, June 28.-
Thomas j. Bagby, 20 years OLD,
was shot and killed near here last
night while standing outside the
window to the room of his sweet
heart, II years old, whose brother
had forbidden him the premises.
E. J. Carter, Jr., the girls
brother, who is held pending the
inquest, admits he shot Bsgby,
but declares he mistook him for a
burglar, and did not know he had
killed his sisters suitor until he
struck a light and looked at the
dead youths face.
The Carriers and Bagbys are
neighbors, and respected, we'll
to- do Randolph county farmers.
They live five miles south of
Huntsville, and the two families
were on friendly terms until
young Bagby began paying at.
tention to his neighbor's pretty
daughter.
Young Carter did not favor
Bagby as suitor for his sisters
hand, and forbid him to see her
or come to the place. Through
friends the boy and girl heard
from each other and arranged a
meeting. Bagby went to the
Carter. home at 9 O'Clock last
night and signalled to the girl.
Carter heard the signal, and
from his window could see the
form of man skulking about
the lawn near the house. He
procured his shotgun and went
to the door, from where he called
to the intruder. Receiving no
answer he fired. His sister
screamed. The figure at the
window swsyed and was brought
to the ground by q second shot.
| Carter struck a match and went
to the prostrate form on the
ground and by the Pickering
glare saw that the man was
Thomas Bagby, his sisters suitor.
Other members of the family
Iwere aroused by the shots and
ran outside. In the excitement
mo one noticed that the girl was
mot present, and not until the
jhead of the family went back in
Ito the house to telephone the
news of the tragedy to town did
lit occur to look for her.
| She was found unconscious on
the floor of her room, where she
had fallen when her brother fired.

| Bsgby's friends declare that
he received a note yesterday
morning calling him to the Carter
home. He is said to have in.
formed his mother of this, but the
note is missing and the identity
of the writer is a mystery.

for dinner the editors were taken
over the city in automobiles and
were given fine opportunity to
see Kirksville at it's best. 1t is q
place of 5000 inhabitants and
has many beautiful homes and
fine business houses, but it's
chief attractions are the Kinks

Perfect tho Umbrella.

How rich I'd be-" said one UNI
brella salesman to another IF l had
patented the umbrella" you might
as we'll talk Of a patent on cooking"
said his friend. Umbrellas appear
to have existed always. Indeed, wher-
ever excavations have been made-at
Babylon, Nineveh, Nippur-traces OF
the umbrella have been found. The
article is coeval with mankind. The
English didn't begin to use 1t until
100. Shakespeare with all his genius
had no umbrella to protect him from
the rain. What you might do would
be to patent some new sort of UNI
brella-some rain shield built on bet
ter lines. We have proof that the
umbrella has existed for 10000 years
and yet in all that time 1t has not
once been improved. To-day, as 1t
did two or three hundred years ago,
it turns inside out with strong gust
Of wind and 1t only protects the head
and shoulders from the rain. Change
all that. I want an umbrella that is
complete rain shield. Then you will
be a millionaire in six months."

TO the storekeeper severely:

Why should you have had 1880

Japanese Villagers United In curss"s
Robber to Death.

This bit of local color 10 from the
Japan Times: AT Shinokubc, q small
village in Soshu, consisting OF only
10 houses, several cases Of robbery
have lately occurred to the great
alarm Of the villagers. A diligent
search instituted by them for the Of
fender proved an utter failure. The
community consequently held mass
meeting and unanimously agreed upon
cursing the robber to death. A vir-
tuous priest Of the locality was ac-
cordingly applied to for the purpose.
He, however, declined to curse the
robber to death, an act too cruel for
a holy man like him to resort to, but
promised that he would paralyze the
robber by his powerful prayers, so as
to disable him and lead him to repent
ance. Thus the priest commenced his
incantations. But, behold, the robber
continued his subtle operations to the
indignation OF the entire community
The priest has been condemned as a
worthless fellow, and the villagers
have taken upon themselves the task
of repairing every day to the village
temple by twos and threes to Offer
horrible prayers by which the robber
is doomed to an early and fearful
death"
