At that time the eldest of her Qittle girls were about 13yearsold.

After that she starred 6-two seasons, but without much success. SShe abandoned the stage for the lecture ~ ureau, but reappeared on the boards four or five years ago as Daisy Brown in "The Professor." She was a bold ~-nd dashing, rather than a beautiful awomian, and her chief accomplishment ,was perfect mastery of a horse. ,For some years she has lived in the .hoctaw Nation, and has frequently -been in Fort Smith on business and as awitness at the United States Court. After the death of her husband, Cole Younger, in Missouri, she married Sam -Starr and lived with him in the Choc Sw Nation. With her husband she - as in Fort Smith about three years ag o, and the two left for home in t.he ~evening, but on the way home Starr was killed by an old enemy named ~ West. Soon afterwards she married her late di usband's cousin, James Starr, wiho was in this city when the telegram an E nouneing her deathi was received. He is a tall, weli-formied Indian, with long --hair falting down over his sboulders. J here was bad blood in his eye when he heard the news. Without delay he saddled, his horse, provided himself with a quart of whiskey and struck out en the run for home, saying somebody was going to suffTer. Belle Starrhas figured in the United States Court here on several occasions, and was once sent to the penitentiary -or selling whiskey in the Choctaw Na tie. Dressed in -men's clothes, riding inagood saddle and armed with a brace of formidable pistols, she has raided; caroused and participated in every known form of outlawry preval ent in the Nation. She rode at a pace and with a grace that knew no equal, shot with great skill, and with it all she was a well-educated and accom plished woman. Many citizens of Fort Smith have heard her play on the piano, and she was generally recognized as thoroughly well posted in various other accomplishments. She has one daughter named Pearl Younger, a beautiful girl, possessing her mother's fire and her robber father's reckless disposition. SHOT WHILE ON HOBSEBACK WITHOUT TIME TO DRAW HER PISTOL. EUFAULA, I. T., February 5.-Belle Starr; the female terror of the Terri tory, was killed last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, at a place known as Taylor's Farm, seven miles northeast of Brook. Having eaten supper with Jack Rose, an Indian, she left on horseback and alone for home, a mile and a ihalf dis tant. She was never again seen alive. The South Canadian River was to have been crossed by her, and the ferryman at the river was waiting for her. Just at twilight a riderless horse came dashing down towards the river and the ferryman knew the .horse was the property of the notorious Belle Starr. Thinking Belle had been thrown, he retraced the horse's steps for half a mile, where he found her dead body lying in the mnd. A load of buckshot had been emptied into her breast, while a load of fine shot had struck her head. She had evidently been assasinated, for her pistol had not been drawn from her belt. She would have done dangerous work had she been boldly faced. She left a daring daughter, a nineteen-year-old half breed, by her full-blooded Indian hus band. "I WONDER IF SHE'LL THINK OF ME!" [Dedicated to the fairest, sweetest and dearest of all earthly little maidens!] "Oh day that weighs on the heart! Oh winds in the dreary pines! Does she think on me 'mid the golden hours, Past the mountain's da-k blue lines? Oh sunshine flitting and sad! Oh wind that forever sighs! The hall may be bright but my life is dark For the sunshine of her eyes." -Simm's Selections of "War .Pe try of the South.".. When the lonesome evening Zephyrs blows, And the dew-drops kiss the drooping . rose; When shadows 'cross the door-way fall, And cast their gloem upon the wall; When lost is silent reverie, I wonder if she'll think of me? When looking back upon the past, Through iecollections fading fast, Like thoughts of Erin o'er the sea, In fancy's mirror she shall see The friends with whom she used to be, -I wonder if she'll think of me? While seated in her cushion'd chair, Reposing from her daily care, Alone, while not a whisper'd werd - Upon the soft, still air is heard; When the Bible rests.upon her knee, I wonder if she'll think of me? When other light hands shall caress, With tender stroke, each auburn tress, And when some favor'd heir of bliss Those precious, rose-fringedlips shall kiss-^ When heavenly joys in turn shall be, I wonder if she'll think of me? When clasp'd in some wild lover's arms Who madly dotes upon her- charms, And promises, with solemn vow, All worldly coraforts to allow, If but his angel she will be, I wonder if she'll think of me? When spring-time comes, and flowers bloom, 'And fil1 the air with sweet perfume; When pansies raise their little heads, And violets smile in verdant beds,. Alas! I will be far away Who then will claim her fair beau .quet? And when thi flowers I loved so well, She pins upon his proud lapel The same that I have held so dear And cherish'<d as a fond souvenir Say, can she on another see Mytreasures, and not think of me? Ah! will she miss~me when I'm gone, And teel forsaken, sad and lone? Alas! too well the truth I fear, My darling will but little,.care Another lover she will find, Since "out of sight is out of mind." I heave a low and gentle sigh, For the sad-rememnber'd days gone by, When cupid's keen-edged silver dart, First pierced my young and tender heart Thus wreck'd with pain and misery, I wonder if she cares for me? And when shall come -the thought of death The final pang, the gasping breath, The unfrequented, silent grave, She seeks her precious soul to sava; When on her prayerful, bended knee, Oh God! will she remember me? God grant she may remember-ine, In prayer upon her bended knee! May her petitions e'er ascend For the p:ot:iction of her friend, And may this heart be brought as near In love to God, as 'tis to her! She is my first, my only love, More fair tban angel-forms ab"ve, Whom I shall cherish 'till heart is dead, And never a second woo or wed; Thrice green her memory e'er shall be, Whether or not she thinks of me !!!

When a hundred bottles of sarsapa rilla or other pretentious specifics fail to eradicate in-born scrofula or conta gious blood poison, remember that B. B. B. (BQtanic Blood BaJm) has gained many thousand victories, in as many seemingly incurable instances. Send to the Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for "Book of Wonders," and be convinced. It is the only true blood purifier. G. WV. Messer, Howell's X Roads,Ga. writes: "I was afflicted nine years with sores. All the medicine I could take did me no good. I then tried B. B. B., and 8 bot tles cured me sound." Mrs. S M.Wilson, Round Mountain, Texas~ writes: "A lady friend of mine was troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck. She took three bottles of B. B. B., and her skin got soft and smooth, pimples disappeared, and her health improved greatly." Jas. L. Bosworth, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "Some years ago I contracted blood poison. I had no appetite, my di gestion was ruined, rheumatism drew up my limbs so I could hardly walk, my throat was cauterized five times. Hot Springs gave me no benefit, and my life was one of torture until I gave B. B. B. a trial, and, surprising as it may seem, the use of five bottles cured me." - 1m .4 No other medicine is so reliable |as Ayer's Cherr'y Pectoral, for the cure of coughs, colds, and-all derangements of the respiratory organs.

W. Grady in Philadelphia Weekly b Times.] ti Some of the bloodiest duels on record were fought in Florida. The Seminole war, in 1837, brought to the front a lot t< of .reckless young blue bloods that were full of fire and sparkle. Gay livers for the most part, they headed care- e. lessly through the world and carried the whole defense of their lives in their u pistol-fingers. A pressure of the trigger was the answer they gave to protest of cl deprecation. The brush they had with A Osceola and his yellow devils warmed tl them up sharply, and when Prince Murat settled upon their coast with a colony of Frenchmen, challenges flew thick and fast. The Frenchman,. of cl necessity and with pleasure, fought u, their way through, and very soon the tt already turbulent society of Florida 01 had received a deeper tinge from the splendid drilling of the cut and thrust w followers of "the Prince." It was in h Florida that the feud began in which d the Alstons, Willis and Augustus, lost their lives. I was sitting one night in Brown's hotel-a famous old rendez- b vous of forty years' standing-pickling tc myself in orange brandy and munch ing soaked biscuit, when a shuffling old d fellow approached me. I. recognized L him as Mr. Zabran, a ragged postscript a to the life of a gentlemen, engaged at the time in the humble but respectable to business of washing dishes at the hotel. re "Do you see that'ragged hole up there bi over the furder fly brush?" asked the old man. Upon my replying to the question, which really did not require cl an answer, but was tnrown out by the cl crafty old gabbler as a lasso, with its interrogatory loop at the end, he re- ci flectively wound his cup-towel about him, and sitting down, remarked: tl "Well, sir, if all the blood that was shed in the quarrel in which that hole was made smeared on these walls it would redden up this whole room, I can tell you." The sanguinary seduc- b tion that the old fellow had put into fi his story, and pushing him a glass of w brandy, I asked him to tell me all m about it. Then and there, in that h musty and half-ruined hotel, full of its te wild and riotous memories, the old fel- A low told me a story that for fierce gal- R lantry and recklessness puts fiction to a! shame. The actors in it, of sunny and pi heroic temper, of large wealth and il- tt lustrious lineage, are dead. Their de- w scendants yet live and stand high d among the highest. Of course, it is im- fi possible to avouch the particular cor- si rectness of the details of this story, or d] the most of those that follow, but the re general points are believed to be just as i written. a em A DUEL OF THE SEMINOLE WAR. "In the Seminole wvar," said Mr. Zabran, ev'dently ambling down a til wellworn groove of conversation, M "Governor Call of this State, com- in manded a crack regiment. One morn- i ing he received a note announcing that R is wife was quite ill. He at. once re- p paired to her bedside. During his ab sence a battle was fought. Shortly af- c terward an article appeared in the- as Chronicle and Sentinel, of Augusta, in-p sinuatmng that Governor Call had pur- at posely absented himself from the bat- g te. The paper containing this cruel ar article reached the camp and was at to once the subject of comment. Lieu t enant Augustus Alston deternu.ned, in t the absence of his Colonel, to protect rc his honor,. mounted a horse and plung- hi ed through the woods for Augusta. 1g Reaching that city he made his way to g the Chronicle office and demanded to n know the author of the offensive article, hi It turned out that it was Governor sl Reed, of Florida, for a long time a bit ter political enemy of Call's. Lieuten- tc ant Alston at once sent him a peremp- m tory challenge. Governor Reed re plied that he would be happy to accom-k modate Lieutenant Alston with satis faction as soon as he had concluded an affair with Lieutenant Williams, of Call's staff, who had already favored I him with a note upon the same sub- t~ ect. Alston thereupon had to co'ntent tI his soul in patience until the affair with seC Williams was over. He did not have em to wait long. A meeting was soon ar- t ranged between Reed and Williams, t~ the conditions of,which were that they 1o were to fight with bowie-knives, until "" ne or the other should be cut down. At the meeting the men came upon the ground, stripped to their shirts. They advanced until they met each ther. They then clasped their left ands together in a firm and dead ame grasp, standing toe to toe. The een and shining knives were then placed in their right hands. At a sig nal they were dropped perpendicularly along their legs. At the next word they were raised into the air, and then the terrible fencing began. It was a >rief, strenuous struggle. The long nives cut and gashed and wheezed through the flesh of the ccmbatants nd clashed and sparkled agains each other, now buried in vital tissue and now whipped out with a dim, bluish oisture veiling the blades, until at length Lieutenant Williams fell, hack d almost to pieces. Governor Reed scaped without disabling injury. A BROTHER'S REvENGE. "He then turned his attention to Lieutenant Alston. Being the chal lenged party, he had the choice of weapons. He selected a murderous wveapon, now happily obsolete, but then of common use, and known as a yager. It wa a broad-mouthed, fun nel-shaped smooth-bore gun that car ried a handful of shot andl was warrant ed to hit everything in the neighbor hood of its adi. The duel wa:s a most unfortunate one in its direct anid re miote results. Captain Ke'non was Lieutenant Alstoni's seond. The prin :ipals were posted with their backs to each other. As the word~ 'wheel' was 1 called it is claimed that Aistoni slipped ] and stumbled: The command, 'Fire ne-two-three!' followed almost im mediately, and before he could recover his gun went off into the air. Gover nor Reed took cool aim, fired prompt-! ly at the ward,-and Lieutenr.et Alston dropped dead. Thus two gallant young j fel~'s had already fallen im.~ defense of te honor of an absent comrade. But ie cruel feud was hardly opened. olonel Willis Alston, then living in ouisiana, heard of his brother's death, id became impressed with the idea at he had not been fairly killed. He aimed that Governor Reed should ve withheld his fire when he saw his ,other's gun spring aimlessly toward e sky. Indeed, it is said that a sister Lieutenant Alston had the lead ken from her brother's body and a w bullet moulded, which she sent to Colonel Willis Alston, and demand [that he should come and avenge eir brother's death. Colonel Alston me as fast as possible to this hotel. overnor Brown met him as he rode p to the piazza, and at once divined s purpose. 'You have come here to, iallenge Reed?' he asked. Colonel lston assented. Governor Brown Len begged him to he very deliberate pL td cool and quiet about it. On the Ci ,ry night he got here, (he was sitting ch ?ar the fire-place yonder, with a large fe: oak around him, and his head bowed m: >on his hand. He had been sitting de ere only a few moments when some M ie brushed past him rather roughly. ar aising his head he discove;ed that it V as Governor Reed. the ve -y man he hii td traveled so far to challenge to th adly combat. In an instant he was w< )laze, with excitement, and rising, A claimed. 'You have murdered my TI other, sir, and now do you presume fiu insult me? Draw and defend your- an If, sir.' As quick as thought Reed ew a six-barreled pistol and fired, bu aring away Alston's third finger, en st as the latter poured a broadside wi to him from a horseman's pistol, fo ph dging a ball in his side. The fire was pe peated, each man receiving another m< ilet. Colonel Alston was then out of th; nmunition, having only two horse- h an's pistols. Throwing back his long pi, oak, however, he krew his bowie and ea osed with his antagonist. In a few ething strokes Governor Reed was it to the floor, and his -opponent sank Hi a fainting fit. It was in that melee se at that bullet hole was made up m ere. bo hi A DEADLY MEETING. -a "The two men were taken to their ds, and for several weeks were con ied to their rooms.

He was very N uch embittered .by the contest that in: td taken place, and said that he in aded to kill Governor Reed on sight. few days afterward he met Governor eed on the street. He went home idloaded a double-barreled shot-gun, .tting in one of the barrels, it is said, th :e bullet that his sister had moulded f ith the lead taken from his brother's m ad body. Seeking Reed again, he re 'ed at him on sight, tearing away his .oulder 'ith the first barrel and rid ing his heart with the second. This neontre created the intensest excite ent and led to some legal proceeding ainst Colonel Alston, which, how er, did not result in anything. Colo 1l Alston shortly after this wvent to ~xas. He had been there but a short ne when he heard that Dr. John MNeil Stewart, a man of prominence Brazoria, had commented dispareg gly upon his affair with Governor' sed.
