He Palled Two Revolver* end Be-
gan Firing Promiscuously in
a Crowded Train.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The Note Said. "ThisDeed Was Done for
the Purpose of Example and Warning
to Negroes, So Beware."
Blubfield, W. V., Jan. 28.—
Alexander Jones, a negro despera-
do, boarded a passenger train at
Keystone last night, under the in-
fluence oi whisky, and very quar-
relsome. The negro became mush
incensed when an attempt was
made to eject him, and pulled two
revolvers and began firing pro-
miscuously through the train. W.
H. Strother, post-master at Elk-
horn, was killed. Conductor Mc-
Cullough was shot in the side, but
not seriously injured, Peter Rice,
colored, was shot through the right
breasl and probably fatally injured.
Jones was incarcerated in the Elk-
horn jail to await a train to convey
him to Huntington for safe keep-
ing. The train arrived at 2 a. m.
and the officers and prisoners board-
ed it without molestation. At
Hemphill the train was flagged and
a mob numbering one hundred men
boarded it, forced the officers to re-
lease the prisoner,and dragged Jones
to a tree, where he was swung to a
limb and his body riddled with bul-
lets. The following note was at-
tached to the body :
“This deed was done for the pur-
pose of example and warning to
negroes, so beware.”
Jones it is alleged, killed three
men prior to his last offense.
A Doable Killing.
Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 28.—
The news reached this city this
morning of a double killing at Shoft-
er’s Fake, Andrews county. Crick
Atmore and Willie Masonquarrelled
over a section of school lands that
both wanted and came to blows,
after which both went home, got
Winchesters and went on a hunt
for each other. They met on the
banks of Shofter’s Fake, and simul-
taneously fired and both shots took
effect. Atmore was shot in the
head, dying instantly. Mason was
shot in the body, dying in jess than
an hour.
him last October, a month before
the crime was committed, and sug-
gested that he knew where $500
could easily be made. Williamson
told him that he knew a woman
who held $5,000 insurance policy
on the life of Feonard and would
give $500 to the man that would
kill him.
The theory of the state has al-
ways been that Williamson con-
sented to a divorce from his wife
that she might marry Feonard and

from the National Equal Suffrage
association, who appeared before
the senate committee on woman
suffrage, to present a plea for rec-
ognition at the ballot box. Sena-
tors Call and Pfeffer were the only
members of the committee present.
The speakers were presented by
Dr. Annie Shaw.
The speakers all dwelt upon the
right of female sex to equal parti-
cipation with men in shaping legis-
lation and almost all of them refer-
red to the injustice of taxing women
with allowing them to vote.
The delegation also visited the
room of the
house. Among those who spoke
were Mrs. Francis A. Williams, the

Senator Turpie Spoke With Great
Earnestness on the Armenian
Question.
Washington, Jan. 28.—The
prayer of the senate chaplain today
referred to the appearance of an-
other star-Utah-in the constellation
of states and invoked the knitting
together ot hearts of all the people
of the union for the advancement
and glory of our beloved country.
Turpie, (Ind.) presenting a peti-
tion concerning Turkish massacres,
said that in the recent calamities judiciary committee
the Armenians were charged with
no revolt, only with being Chris-
tians. The time has come when
there should be official notification
to Turkey and the Mohammedan
church, that there has been a deca-
dence iu their power to proselyte
with the sword.
“We have already sont a mess-
age,” said the senator, refering to
the concurrent resolution, “but the
message should be followed by a
shot which would go crashing
through the grand seraglic.”
The senator urged the Christian
world might now be called upon to
take up another great crusade, driv-
ing back the rule of mohammedan-
ism and spreading the rule of Christ,
ianity,
Turpie spoke with great earnest-
ness and vigor and his remarks at-
tracted much attention. Allen,
(Neb.) gave notice of amendment
to the pending silver bond bill, de-
priving the secretary of the treasury
of the power to issue bonds unless
the authority was granted by con-
gress.

Her Search.
Although much lg Bald of the imperti-
nence of clerks In dry goods stores, there are
many models of long suffering politeness
among them, and it was one of this large
class to whose lips rose a rejoinder which
oven his diplomatic employer counted a•
excusable, If nothing better.
Whenever a special sale of any line of
goods was announoed from the store in
question, there Invariably appeared on the
next morning a woman who insisted upon
being shown every article on the shelves,
but had never been known to purchase
anything.
The store was not a large one, and It had
fallen to the lot of one clerk In particular
to wait upon this woman again and again
At last there came a day when a sale of
blankets was announced. Early the next
morning the woman appeared, and for
nearly half an hour the patient clerk dis-
played blankets until they were heaped
high before him. At last he announoed
that there were no more.
"Very well,” said the woman Indiffer-
ently, taking up her handbag. "I was
just looking for a friend."
"Madam," said the clerk in a tone of
perfect respect, “if yon think there is any
chance that your friend is among these
blankets, I will go through them again/
Undoubtedly the woman Is still pursu-
ing her search In other dlrooltons, but that
one store has known her no more sinoe
that day.—Youth’s Companion.

They Planned a Little Surprise and Were
Surprised Themselves.
It was a common thing In Virginia City
in the early days fora number of people to
get together and present somo public man
with a testimonial in the shape of a gold
watch or a silver service. Asa rule, the
testimonials were presented to the poople
who could well afford to buy such luxuries
by impocunious persons, who could ill af-
ford to pay even a fractional part of the
value. The poor giving to tho rich 1
Some years ago the superintendent of
- mine became very popular, and a
number of his friends concluded that it
would bo the oorrect thing to present him
with a gold watch and ohnln. They raised
$860 among the minors who worked under
him. The miners did not recolvo the Idea
of a testimonial with acclamation, but
somehow thought It unwise to refuse to
subscribe. The friends of the superin
tendent thought It would bo well to make
tho affair as much of a surprise as possible.
It was to come off In tho office of the min-
ing company, and in order to make the
surprise more complete it was determined
to make tho presentation as much as pos-
sible like an investigation of official cor-
ruption np to tho moment that the watch
should be flashed In sight.
Tho following note was accordingly sent
to tho superintendent by the jokers:
Mr.--: Sir—You aro ordered to ap-
pear in person this evening at the office of
the--Mining company, at 7:30 o'clock,
to answer to certain gravo charges which
have been made against your official con-
duct in connection with tho superintend-
enoy of tho mine. Promptness on your
part will greatly facilitate mattors. Yours,
etc., The Trustees.
At 7 o clock about 100 of the superin-
tendent’s friends were on hand to take
part In the festivities. Several baskets of
wine were in sight, and tho party selected
to make tho presentaton speech had a funny
one learned by heart. At 7:30, however,
there was no superintendent. Eight
o’olook came, and he was not there. Half
an hour lator some friends wont to his
room to see If ho had receivod tho note.
He had received It and jumped the town.

Where the Joke Came In.
The appreciation of a Jest Is not possible
to every one, and those persons who lack
the power of perceiving a joko are often
funnier, unintentionally, than are the In-
tentional jesters. On a European steamor
was a Scotch gentleman oomlng to Amer-
ica, who was soon distinguished among
his follow passengers for his disability in
the matter of appreciating humor, and
several Americans set to work to see If
they could not tell him some story of which
he would see the fun.
All sorts of anecdotes, good and bad,
were tried, spine true and some apocryphal,
and at length when the supply was nearly
OZuAUltod tli© Scotchman was as nn*
moved as ever one of the Americans told
this whimsical and absurd story.
He said that a man and his bride started
on their bridal tour on an ocean steamer
and were taken violently 111 almost as soon
as the boat started.
The voyage was exceedingly rough, and
both bride and groom became so danger-
ously ill that it was found nocossary to put
them In separate staterooms. Neither mani-
fested any especial interest in the other, so
deathly sick were they both. At last the
steward went to the stateroom of the hus-
band and said to him, "I am very sorry,
but I have come to tell you that your wife
is dead. ” 1 ‘ That’s good,' ’ the seasick hus-
band returned feebly. "I wish I was.”
The story, suoh as It was, of oourse
turned upon the old joke about seasick-
ness. The Scotchman listened to It in pro-
found Bllenco, and when it was finished
he heaved a melancholy sigh.
"Ah,” he commented. "Very sad, I’m
sure. What was the name of the parties?”
And after that they gave up all attempts
to make him see a joke.—Youth’s Com-
panion.

The reputation of El Paso as a
health resort Is already firmly estab-
lished. Thousands of Invalids have
found here the relief which they have
sought vainly elsewhere. Especially
Is this true In all cases of pulmonary
disease, and there are today living In
El Paso hundreds of people, in good
health, engaged in business and en-
vying life, who declare that had
they not come to this genial clime
they would either have died long ago
or continued to drag out a miserable
existence. There is not a winter but
oumerous Invalids who have sought
other health resorts come on to El
Paso by advice of the physicians at
those resorts. They come from Col-
orado and Northern New Mexico be-
cause It Is too cool there and they
come from Southern California be-
cause It Is too damp there. Here they
find a dry, warm, sunny climate, with
its latitude 42 degrees north, the lon-
gitude being the same as that of Santa
Fe, N. M., and the latitude the same
as that of Savannah, Ga., and San
Diego, CaL It is 340 miles south of
Santa Fe, constituting the soutinn
terminus of the Atchison, top. „

The mountain ranges of New Mexico
and old Mexico abutting on the river at
this point give variety and beauty to
the landscape and contribute that ex-
hilerating quality of “mountain air”
which, combined with the mild tem-
perature of the winter season, consti-
tutes the charm of the El Paso climate.
The altitude is 3760 feet above the
sea level—high enough to be pure and
bracing, and yet not high enough to
embarrass the heart’s action and in-
crease the dyspnoea of those affected
with pulmonary complaints. I found
It true with regard to myself while
suffering from a severe attack of bron-
chitis, and also with regard to others
w hom I met that whereas at Las Vegas
and Santa Fe (at an altitude respec
tlvely of 6700 and 7100 feet) we suf-
fered from dyspnoea and had to walk
slowly, like confirmed Invalids, the de-
scent to El Paso enabled us to walk
briskly and soon made us feel equal
to running a foot race.

Some years ago Dr. Alfred S.1 lie folly to summer In El Paso, and yet
Houghton of Chicago wrote that after the dryness of the atmosphere is such
a thorough examination and careful
study of the subject, he found El
Paso and San Diego, Cal., the two
places most favorable to all persons
afflicted with pulmonary diseases.
Following Is a portion of a table of
statistics of "annual climatic changes”
which Dr. Houghton prepared, and
upon which he based his conclusions:
that a temperature of 100 to 105 de-
grees In the shade Is more endurable
than that of 70 and 85 degrees In Phil-
adelphia. Sunstroke Is unknown, In
spite of a maximum temperature of
110 degrees In summer, and those
who are compelled to remain there do

• Degree.
In his report Dr. Houghton uses the
following language:
“The number of Inches of rain and
snow will give corroborative testi-
mony as to the dryness, etc. In a
place where the air Is dry and the
sunshine clear and steady, wide range
of dally temperature or sudden
changes of heat are not only not un-
pleasant nor injurious, but often
agreeable and beneficial from the
stimulation they create, while moder-
ate variation of equability In a damp,
muggy climate Is debilitating In the
extreme.
“The dew point In El Paso is 11 de-
grees below the mean of minimum
temperature, and 27 degrees below the
mean of annual temperature, while at
San Diego It is only 3 degrees below
the mean of minimum temperature,
and 10 degrees below the mean of
annual temperature.
“At El Paso the mean of relative
and absolute humidity Is also much
lesB than at San Diego, while Jack-
sonville Is behind not only both of
these places, but also Denver.
“The average rainfall Is 36 Inches.
At El Paso It is 11 inches. The aver-
age between dew point and mean of
minimum temperature is 5% degrees.
At El Paso It is 11 degrees. The aver-
age mean annual temperature Is 66
degrees. At El Paso It Is 64 degrees,
but the seasonal average at El Paso
Is 66 degrees.
"In every particular, except spring
winds, El Paso shows a better record
than San Diego, and far better than
Jacksonville or Savannah: The only
place on the Atlantic coast that ap-
proaches El Paso is Asheville, N. O.,
and for that place 1 have no seasonal
figures.”
Dr. Houghton further states that
the altitude of El Paso Is 3760 feet,
while that of San Diego Is 67 feet
only, El Paso being neither too high
nor too low.
EL PASO’S PURE AIR.
To the American Climatological asso-
ciation Dr. E. W. Schauffler, of Kansas
City, made the following report:
El Paso Is situated at the extreme
western boundary of Texas, in that
tongue of land which Is bounded on
the north and wdst by New Mexico
and on the south by the Rio Grande.
Its longitude Is 106 degrees west, and
tants of Eastern cities.
But It is the winter temperature to
which I wish to call attention, as well
ns the small amount of rainfall and
the small number of cloudy days, these
conditions combining to constitute the
charm of the winter, during which
season the Invalid can walk, or even
sit out of doors, almost every day.
Combined with the mild temperature
there is, as 1 have before remarked,
a bracing tonic quality to the air, due,
perhaps, In part, to its rarity and dry-
ness, which I have failed to find In
the air of Florida, of the Gulf, or even
of San Antonio, Texas.
In view of Its mild winter climate,
its altitude, the great dryness of the
atmosphere and soil, and the remark-
able preponderance of clear and fair
days, especially during the winter and
spring months, I think It must be con-
ceded that El Paso presents many of
the requisites of a winter resort for
persons suffering from pulmonary
complaints. Nor Is this merely a theo-
retical conclusion. It Is confirmed by
the experience of a considerable num.
her of asthmatic, bronchitic, and phth-
isical patients who have already tested
the virtues of this climate. Some of
these 1 met myself during a stay
some weeks last February and March,
and with regard to others I was In-
formed by the physicians of that place
and the army officers of Fort Bliss.
This testimony was the same that Is
usually obtained at such places—viz:
that the patient soon begins to loose
his cough, to Improve In appetite, and
to gain in weight and strength.
Notwithstanding the newness of the
place, the accommodations of El Paso
are very fair. There are several quite
large and respectable hotels, there is a
good market, and the price of living Is
not high. Although in Texas, It is a
very wide awake Yankee town, with
an elegant court house, public school
building, numerous churches, etc. One
great charm to the visitor or sojourner
Is the proximity of Old Mexico, just
across the Rio Grande, where within
an easy walk or drive, he finds the
city of Paso del Norte, surrounded by
a well Irrigated and cultivated coun-
try, teeming with a kindly and Indus-
trious population. For myself, I
never wearied of watching their
strange seventeenth century methods
of living and working.
