At Law Courte a sleigh, in j whioh thoro wero two mou, ono of whom was dressed as a workman, went quickly ' ahead of the Grand Duke's carriage. ' .The sleigh then slowed down to allow . 4l?he carriage to pass, and at that momont a bomb was thrown beneath the oarriage. ? The force of tho explosion broke all the ( windows of Law Courts and the report was hoard outside tho city. The car riage was blown to pieooB, nothing but four wheolB remaining. The horses were ' not hurt and bolted. The Grand Duke 1 was instantly killed. His hoad was ' blown off, actually separated from his J body, whioh was horribly manglod. The coachman was also killed, hoing so ' frightfully burned by tho explosive with which tho bomb was chargod that he died while being taken to tho hospital, t On the arrest of the murderors, neither , ?f whom was known to tho police, one of ] jem coolly said :> "I don't care; I bavo , ono my job."

W. Price, lu Columbia Record.] Washington, February 17.-"Back me up fluanoially and I will. send the boll weevil into every cotton prodaoing com munity In tho South, and you, myself and the boll weevil will bull the market this yoar, your firm and myself dividing the proceeds of the resultant high prices." Such was substantially the offer of a prominent citizen of Dallas, Texas, to one of tho biggest cotton brokerage firms in the city of Kow York. And. that is why a bill has been introduced 'i Con gress to prohibit tho railroads from car rying boll weevils aud other pestiferous inseots, aud to provont them from being carried in tho mails. The tale that hangs thereby is this: A responsible though unscrupulous mau in Dallas thought out a plan to bull tho cot ton market, and to make a fortune. So ho wrote to tho New York brokers and outlined bis plan. De would scatter tho boll weevil iuto every oommuuity in tho South where cotton grows. The presence of tho insect would be sure to drive cot ton prices to high water mark. Kuowing this fact they could buy all tho ootton in the market at presont prices with a doad B?ro ciuch on a round advauce, which would insure a fortuno to them. If they would back him up financially and "divy" with him in tho matter of profits ho would ship the boll woevil arouud all rieht. And then he was abso lutely sure that the boll weevill would oarry out tho contract he had made for them as their proxy. But the ootton brokers wore not so mercenary as the Texas man and they immediately took steps to prevent any such action as proposed. They referred his letter to RepreBontutivo Lovering, of Massachusetts, who immediately intro duced a bill to prohibit transportation of all insect posts from one stat e to an other, and the use of the mails for such purposes. It provides that any porson, company or corporation who shall know ingly violate its provisions shall bo fined $5,000 or imprisoned for live years, or both. Tho Dopartmont of Agriculture took the matter up and sent a detective to Dallas to investigate. They found tho man to bo prominont and flnanoially well iixod, instead of a crank, as was reasona ble to suppose they would. They have I dooided to suppress his name for reasons | of thoir own. Congress will take aotion on 'tb - mat ter at once. The House committee on agriculture has reported tho Lovering bill favorably to the 1 ! ouse, and it will likely bo passed at onoe, so as to forestall ?ny such scheme. It is difficult to Imagine what a great injury 'to ootton growing tho oarrving into effect of such % soborne would bring .about. It would acive the boll weevil such a firm bold on tho South as to make his extermination practically an impossibility, lt would make tho cotton growing industry of tho South practically coaso to bo a paying proposition, and would be the groatost block that section ever had unless tho Civil war bo excoptod. Representative Lover, as a member of tho House committco on agriculture, was particularly aggressive in. tho aotion of tho committoe, realizing that South Carolina interests were, at stake. It ?S MI his authority that those facts aro pub lished. TO l l Ki: A < OB I? IN OM DAY. Tako LAXATIVK BUOMO QI'ININK Tablets. A ll druggists refund tho money if it fails | to cure. E. W.
