Pour Lives Already Sacrificed in the Turncr-Sowders QuarreL Fire lives have been sacrificed in the latest Kentucky feud on Yellow Creek, in Bell county. , Leo .Turner' aid General Powders were brothers-in law and lived in sight of each other on Yellow Creek. They had some famly difficulty and Turner waylaid and shot Sowders, but not dangerously. They made up and everything went well for a while.

A warrant was taken out for Sowders, but they have never ciught him. Jim Rains was a great friend of Sowders A week or two after the 1 tter was shot Ilains dead Vbile walking along the road. J niarvey mrner. a orotner ot iee was tus slayer. The warrant sent out for the arrest of Harvey Turner brought on the next kill ing. "Tho sheriff's posse went up to Yellow Creek to make the arrest, and met Jack Tur ner, Harvey's uncle) in the road. They were not after him, but some how. in altercation came up, though no One seemed to know why. Turner road off and '-omebcxly fired at him when a hundred yards away. Turner returned the shot, and the posse set on after him. They did not go far till a crowd of the Turner faction camo out of a corn field, and the shooting began a -oin George 'lhomas, tho Marshal of Pineville, was kil.ed and this ended the fight. "Nobody thought that J ack Turner was in this last crowd, but ho came to Pineville and gave himself up. He was released on ?.",00J bail, and the Grand Jury indicted the Tur ners for the mu: der of T omas. Jack Tu. her'fctayed around for tw or three days and then went home for a day or two, when he came back, and one day as; ho was walking up the street he was shot and killed in front of the Monroe Hotel by somebody concealed in the upper window of a near building. Weveral shots were fired, and tho men who kilh-d him are supposed to be Sowders, Green lurner and Marsh turner, lhe latter mar ried Sowders sister, and is a cousin of Lee Turner, the first man killed.

Edith Turner, the dmghter of Jack Turner by his first wife, went with him, and whilo Monroe was sitting in a chair talking to Hallio Myers, after supiier, he was shot dead. The bullett came through the win dow and put out the light. Monroe was a friend of b-owders,and some say that was tho reason he was killed. "Edith Turner, who went with him lives in Kansas, but came back to get her share in her father's estate. Her father killed her mother's father a good, many years ago." EVICTIONS. IN IOWA. Au English Land Company Ousting ( Settlers from their Homes In Iowa. !

Iam 1crsonally. acquainted vith some of the evicted families." "But it cannot be truo that an English laud company is turning American citizens out, of their homes uito the .streets ?' was asked. "It certainly is tru," he answered. "Who are lhese; Englishmen, and how cid they get their title to the lands?' "Ti.ey are the old firm of' Close Bros., re organized ns tho Western Iand Company. Th y bought from the old McGregor West e n or. its assijmees. the Milwaukee and Sioux City companies, some lands granted to tho McGregor Western in 1804 but never care 1 for. When Teller was Secretary of the interior he a id the Land C- mmissiofier declare I tho lands unearned aud promised to ttpch them for settlement. - On the faith of thes.? declarations some settlers went on the lands aud bjiilt their homes. .Mr. Tellei failed to keep his promise, and the Iowa State Govern i ent was also remiss in its duty.

Iu tho case of Jfelsoh the Fame thing happened, and ho was so t; rrorized by a troop of armed men and by levies on his live stock and furniture th t he succombed and signe.l the company's lease. Others have been terrorized into do ing the same thing. In one ca.se a woman was sick abed and she was-carried out in a hard rain and in tho morning compelled to avail herself of such shelter ns the family coulu find for her These are only a few of the cas s I ersonally know, but they will do for a sample of about a hurdred that have occurred. "It was recommended that suits be brought to recover title,, and suit hns been brought in tho Sioux City cases The Milwau ee cases have rot yet been reached, but suit Mill no doubt lie brought, and the Lest law yers say the land eomiiany's title will not hold good. If this be true the company is brutally evicting settlers from land which it does not own. REFUSED A REQUISITION. i What tho Gove rnor of Xcbraskn Said to tho Governor of Tennessee.

It has been an open secret for months that the grossest kind of frauds upon the custom-house in the Sound district have been perpetrated almost openly, until the smugglers and their onf ederatea became so emboldened that they gtarcely tried to conceal their doin All the provisions of the Restriction act were! virtually set aside and the Chinese came littlo across the bordor in droves, with as trouble as thou . h that act hail never leen passed. --It is" a notorious fact that 1,000 cer tificates, which "were to be issued under the law to outgoing .Chinese-disappeared from theFort Townsend Custom-House. t Theso certificates -were subsequesntly preseuted by incoming Mongolians who had never before been" in the country. An immense quantity of opium h s been brought into Portland which never had tho j stamp of 'the United States custom-house stances it cahie through with the collusion of, certain customs oflieers belonging to the same district Some idea of tlte magnitude of the trade maybe gained when it :s known that in .Victoria there are eleven opium cooking - 'establishinents where " the crude opium is prepared for the American market and it reaches the United States .without a tithe of it paying duty.

Jealousy of au Ex Governor's Wifj Dis solves a Reception Committee. St. Paul, Minn, society is aghast at the action of 149 of the most prominent society ladies in the city. . ' When it was known that the presidential party would visit St. Paul the leading citi zens proposed a reception for the Chief Ex ecutive and his wife of such magnitude as would leave an everlasting impression on their minds. . One of the features of the program susges ted by the committee of arrangements was the selection of one hundred and fifty prom inent gentlemen and their wives who would act as a reception committee for the distin guished visitors. In making up this committee especial care w.'s taken that all public officials should be chosen, and among the first to be picked was United Strtes Senator and Ex-Governor C. K. Davis. When this was made known to the wives of the 14'J remaining members of the com mittee they refused to act, and it was neces sary to drop the scheme, so that -when Mrs. Cleveland arrives she will find herself in the hands of eight old ladies, all conspicuous as temperance lecturers or moral reformers. St. Paul society of the top grade has never taken the wife of United States Senator Davis into their' hearts, though that lady possesses charming qualities and beauties of face and figure that every lady might envy. But Mrs. Davis was a seamstress-when taken to wife by the senator, and ambitious mothers and succeptible daughters have never quite recovered from the shock of disappointment they received when the announcement of the marriage was made. - -I Ann Agnew was a poor girl when she be came the wife of the governor of AJinnesota, but.no one bad the temerity to publicly in sinuate that she was not an honorable girl. The governbr nas never been forgiven for reaching down and liftingup his dressmaker with nothing but a beautiful face and ex quisite form to recommend her to his favor py the li'J women wno reiusea to aci on tue committee in company with Mrs. Davis. Neither have -they forgotten how wildly the Washington correspondents raved over her.beauty when she made her debut at the capitol of the nation last winter. The green-eyed monster has taken hand in this matter now, for t ey were afraid their claims would hardly be noticeable with such a supurb beauty as Mrs. Davis in their midst. - MET- DEATH WHILE DRIVING. A. Society Toady's Fatal Lcap Fjoin - Her Carriage in I'al.'mount Park. Mrs. Julia Naylor, a young society lady, was fatally injured while driving in Fair mount Park, Philadelphia, and died before she could bo remived to a hospital. Mrs. Naylor and Mrs. Dissto.'i ct&rted out together for a morning drive in a double-team car riage belonging tMrs. Naylor. The driver was an okPand trusty coachman of the Diss tons. As the team nearel Rockland on the east drivt-r, ono of the horses, a young animal irbi;h .vj being driven for the first te, tok fright, and leaping forward hurled the driver from the box. The ladies, believing that tho driner had lost control of the team, jumped from the carr.age, Mri DLsston es caping with a f w slight bruises. Mis.

An ambulance was summoned in hich sh was removed to the German Hospital, but upon reaching there it wan 'found that she was dead. The body was removed to the residence of her husband. The frighted horse was quickly -controlled by tho coach man, and if th ladies had remained wa.U ia the carriage 2Ir. Naylor's life would have been savtid. A CONVICT'S DEVICE.
