B. Bush, deputy sheriff of that vicinity. The information was received here by Sheriff Amos Jar man, and the details of the tragedy are decidedly meager.
 Barksdale, 1t Is alleged, was drink Ing heavily and when the officer ac- costed him and placed him under ar rest. at the same time demanding his run. the former replied by open1ns fire upon him. Two shots were sent in rapid succession toward Deput, Bash. who, realizing his life was '' danger, drew his own revolver and re' turned the shots, the latter's fire prov ing effective.
 The case, according to the informa tion received here, was one Of put' self defense, Barksdale firing twie mon the officer before the latter ever lrew his gun.
 The dead man was farmer, and ! ls understood has family. He Wa aleo known in this city, where h. came frequently and did the greais part of his trading.

 A special from Newport Wednesdav morning states that there Is absolute ly no basis for the Halliday story, so far as the criminal records of Jach- son county are concerned. There have been several persons by that name re- siding In the county at various times, but none has ever been tried for murder. A telegram from the sheriff at Charleston, to the Jackson county sheriff, inquiring about the ease, was answered to the above effect. The impression in Jackson county Is that the man who Is eported under arrest at Char eltop, M ss., must be men, tally unbalanced.

RUSSIA STRIKES
 A DIRECT BLOW
Duma Would Exclude American ff.- brewS Entirely From That
 Country.

St. Petersburg. Dec 27.-A suppa~ v mentary legislative proposal of 3 frankly prohibitive character was in- troduced by the nationalists into the Duma today. It is aimed dir ctly ii the United States.
 According to the terms of the pro- posed enactmt mt, American citizens O Jewish religion are to be totally eX- cluded from Russia, and in the second place customs duties are to be raised 100 per cent unless the Russian nor nal schedule is lower than the Ameri can, In that case duty equaling tn American duty will be collected.
 The author of the bill states lI.,t. the last provision is IT. cessary in or der to deal with the import of Ameri- can agricultural machinery.
 The remaining points of the propos- ed bill correspond in virtually every particular with the bill introduced on December 22 by ex-President Gueh- kofl, providing for tariff sch dulas applicable to the United States at the expiration of the Russo American conl- merce and navigation treaty of 1892

THE POSTAL BANK.

Few persons in Columbia realize
the opportunity for small savings
which has been opened by the es-
tablishment of a postal savings
bank. The poor man, the widow
even the children, now have a place
in which to lay aside a small sur
plus when times are good.
The postal bank fills a distinct
need. The ordinary state and nation
a. banks of the city have their places
as the machines of credit among the
business houses and well-tO-dO cit
liens. The savings banks furnish q
depository for those who are able to
save in quantities sufficient to war
rant taking out an account. The
pcstal banks are an incentive to
economy among those who never
before believed they could save.

Tigers Need New Blankets.

Editor the MissOurian: The stu
dents who saw the Missouri-Rolla
game last Saturday also may have
noticed the men on the sidelines try
iEg to keep warm with strips of
blankets. 1t is time that the Tigers
had set of new blankets.
Games are soon to be played on
other grounds and our representa-
tres should make good appear
ance.. The blankets are also neces-
sary for the protection of the team.
These should be procured before
the Ames game. 1t would, in a small
measure. show our appreciation of
the work of the team and coach.
1t would only require a contribu-
tion of 5 or 10 cents each student
This should be done at once.

Plays That Made
Football History

Plof. C. L. Brewer tells how a
combination of circumstances tied
the sin-Northwestern football
game in 1896.
1T was terrible day." said Mr.
Brewer" The game was played in
rain, sleet and snow. Both ball and
field were slippery. Until the game
was nearly over the only score was
touchdown by Northwestern" when
the ball was in Northwestern S
possession on their 25-yard line the
fullback dropped back to kick it
out of danger. The ball slipped
through his hands and over his
head. l was playing end for Wiscon-
sin and ran around and fell on the
ball, the Wisconsin fullback falling
on top of me.
1.-The ball, being wet and very
slippery. shot out from under me
and fell behind Northwestern's line.
Both of us scrambled up and ran
for it. This time the Northwestern
fullback fell on the ball and, as with
me, it shot out from under him. l
then succeeded in getting it and
making a touchdown, tying the
score"

A NEW CRAZE.

Has work other than studying be-
come a fad at the University of Mis-
scuri? The employment bureau OF
the Y. NJ. C. A. says it has. 1t should
know
This seems an absurd statement
but it is easily accounted for. Most
students find it hard to live within
the limits of the monthly check. A
few dollars made on the side will
just buy this or that. Yet there is
TO reason for such student to
work. The home folks are only
trying to train him in branches other
than book knowledge.
On the other hand there is a fair
sized class of students who must
earn part or all of their expenses.
1t is not right that work should be
taken from those who must have it
to stay in school, merely to give it
to the over ambitious.

CHILDREN READ TOO SOON:

Educational Psychology Class is In.
vestigating Conditions.
At what age should children learn
to read and write?
The class in educational psychOl-
ogy which is investigating the ques-
tion is agreed that these essen
tials are taught too early.
Some authorities say that read
ing and writing should not
be taught before children are ten
years old. The class does not agree
with this extreme method, but it has
decided that reading and writing
should not be taught before the sec
ond or third year. These first years
should be devoted to such exercises
as would not overtax the young
muscles. they say. Children's mus
cles are not far enough developed to
stand the strain usually required of
them on entering school.
81 am sure that the mechanics of
crowding into the earlier years too
much reading and writing is all
wrong" said Prof. w. H. Pyle. ma
ture studies, stories and games
should be taught.

where students rowed in summer
and skated in winter. This was
called Saint Mary's Lake in honor
