There had been some bad blood between the two men for some time but nothing of so grave a character was anticipated to be the outcome. Wilhehn went to the hardware store where he and Eubanks became involved in a a difficulty, several shots were fired and the above result followed. Wilhelm was shot just below the heart and lived about 15 minutes. The exact details of the affair cannot be learned.

Was Her Bondsman SHE ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO SERVE The Citizens of the Mississippi Town Will Now be Able to Receive Their Mail at Home in the Future. Washington, Jan. 27. After violat ing for more than a year the laws that he had sworn to support, President Roosevelt has decided to reopen the post office at Indianola, Mlssiaslpl, and he has named a white man, Wm, B. Martin, for postmaster. The term of Minnie V. Cox, the negro woman, who has drawn salary as the postmas ter, though living in Alabama, having expired, the president found it neces essary to make a new nomination. The Cox woman did not desire to re turn to Indianola, and the adminis tration announces that she positively refuses to accept a reappointment un der any consideration. This state ment will probably satisfy the negro voters in the north, whose favor was courted when the office was closed and Minnie was continued on the pay-roll. Since the Indianola office was closed by direction of the president, the citi zens of the town received their mail at another town and employed a car rier of their own to take the mall to Indianola and distribute it. Although Minnie Cox has been postmaster all along, she has been doing no official business and her nomination again was out of the question. Mr. Martin, the man recommended by her, is under stood to be a Democrat, a3 ,there is no white Republican in the town, and no negro Republican could be appointed who could serve effectually.

SIMMONS SPEAKS On the Panama Treaty In the Senate. It is Not a Partisan Question A CLEAR CUT AND LOGICAL DISCOURSE The Senator Supports the Treaty But Condemns Any Improper Acts That The President Has Been Quilty of. Washington, Jan. 27. Senator Sim mons today addressed the senate on the subject of the canal treaty. His remarks were read from manuscript showing that they hid received careful preparation. The News and Observer correspondent reports in part as fol lows: Only one time was he interrupted by a question, that came from Senator Tillman, on the Democratic side. Sen ator Simmons said it had been con tended that a vote for ratification un der the circumstances, was tantamount to condoning the action of the admin lstratlon, "P I thought that, as deeply important to us as Is the construction of the canal," the senator observed "I do not think I could vote for it." Senator Tillman. "The senator is too good a lawyer, I judge, not to know that it is good law that the receiver of stolen goods, is as guilty as the man who steals them. ' ' Senator Simmons, "I do not go that far. I do not think the questfbn of stolen goods and thieverv enters into this matter at all." "What has been done inPanamahas been done and cannot be undone. I was not done by the Democratic party nenner com a mat party nave preven ted its doing, and therefore, it is in no way responsible for it. If what has been done in Panama can be undone at all by this government it cau only be undone by doing a greater wrong to Panama than has already been done to Columbia. Surely the defeat of this treaty will not either undo or rem i dy that wrong f-ll jo,a my colleagues on this side of me cnamoer in condemning whatever wrong the president and the adminis tration may have done in bringing about the independence of Panama, but in my vote upon the treaty I pro pose to recognize and act upon the fact that Panama is an independent state, possessed of equal rights and powers to make this treaty as we our selves possess, not only with our con sent, but with the unanimous consent of all the civilized nations of the world. "To my mind, you might as well say that I cannot administer on the estate of a dead man without approving of his death, as to say that I cannot act upon the admitted fact that Panama is an independent nation without approving Qfthe means by which that independ encfcwas achieved." Mr. Simmons said that he believed that the president and the secretary of state naa Deenvenevea or an cnarges of actual complicity in the Panama revolution.
