THE CHINESE BILL.

President Arthur’s Heaitotu for Vetoing It— Full Text •< the Veto Nmea<e. The following is the full text of the President's message vetoing the anti-Chinese bill: To the Senate: After a careful consideration of Senate bill No. 71, entitled “An act to execute certain treaty stipulations relating to Chinese,” I herewith return it to the Senate, in which it originated, with my objections to its passage. A nation is justified in repudiating its treaty obligations only when they are in conflict with great paramount interests. Even then all possible reasonable means for modifying or changing these obligations by mutual agreement should be exhausted before resorting to the supreme right of refusal to comply with them. These rules have governed the United States in their past intercourse with other powers, as one of the family of nations. I am persuaded that if Congress can feel that this act violates the faith of the nation, as sdedged5 dedged to China, it will concur with me in reacting this mode of regulating Chinese immigration, and will endeavor to find another which shall meet the expectations of the people of the United States without coming in conflict with the rights of China. The present treaty relations between that power and the United States spring from an antagonism which arose between our paramount domestic interests and our previous relations. The treaty commonly Known as the Burlin?ame treaty conferred upon Chinese subsets the right of voluntary emigration to the United States for the purpose of curiosity or trade, or as permanent residents, and was in all respects reciprocal as to citizens of the United States in China. It gave to the voluntary emigrant coming to the United States the right to travel there or reside there, wfth all the privileges, immunities or exemptions enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of ths most favored nation. Under the operations of this treaty it was found the institutions of the United States and the character of its people and their means of obtaining a livelihood might be seriously affected by au unrestricted introduction of Chinese labor. Congress attempted to alleviate this condition by legislation, but the act which it passed proved to be in violation of our treaty obligations, and, being returned by the President with his objections, failed !o become a law. Diplomatic relief was then sought A new treaty was concluded with China. Without abrogating the Burlingame treaty it was agreed to modify it so far that the Government of the United States might regulate, limit or suspend the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States, or their residence therein, but that it s> mild not absolutely prohibit them, and th: l the limitation or suspension should be reasonable, and should apply only to the Chinese who might go to the United States as laborers, other classes not being included in the limitation. This treaty is umliteral not reciprocal. It is a concession from the Chinese Government to the United States, or a limitation of the rights which she was enjoying under the Burlingame treaty. It leaves' us by our own act to determine when and how we will enforce these China may therefore fairly have the right to expect that in enforcing them we will take good care not to overstep this grant, and take more than has been conceded us. It is but a year since this new treaty, under the operation of the constitution, became part of the supreme law of the land, and the present act is the first attempt at the exercise of the more enlarged powers which China relinquishes to the United States. In its first article the United States is empowered to decide whether the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States, or their residence therein, affects or threatens to affect our interests, or to endanger good order, either within the whole country or any part of it. The act recites that “in the opinion of the Government of the United States, the coming of Chinese laborers to this country endangers good order in certain localities thereof," but the act itself is much broader than the recital. It acts upon residence as well as immigration; its provisions are effective throughout the United States. I think it may fairly be accepted as an expression of the opinion of Congress that the coming of such laborers to the United States, or their residence here, affects our interests and endangers good order throughout the country. On this point I should feel it my duty to accept the views of Congress.

The first article further confers the power upon this Government to regulate, limit or suspend, but not actually prohibit the coming of such laborers to, or their residence in, the United States. The negotiators of the treaty have recorded, with unusual fullness, their understanding of the sense and meaning with which these words were used. As the class of persons to be affected by the treaty, the Americans inserted in their draft of the provisions that the words “ Chinese laborers ” signifies all immigration, other than that for teaching, trade, travel, study and curiosity. Tue Chinese objected to this, in that it operated to include artisans in a class of laborers whose emigration might be forbidden. The Americans replied that they could not consent that artisans shall be excluded from the class of Chinese laborers, for it is their very competition of ski-lled labor in cities where Chinese labor immigrants concentrate, which has caused embarrassment and popular discontent In subsequent negotiations this definition was dropped out, and does not appear in the treaty.

Article 1 of the treaty confers the rights, privileges, immunities and exemptions which are accorded to citizens and subjects of the most favored nation upon Chinese subjects proceeding to us as teachers, students, merchants or from curiosity. The American Commissioners report that the Chinese Government claimed that in this article they did, by exclusion, provide nobod; should be entitled to claim the benefit of the general provisions of the Burlingame treaty but those who might go to the United State's in these capacities or for these purposes. I accept this as a definition of tbe word “laborers” as used in the treaty. As to tho power of legislation respecting this class of persons, the new treaty provides: “We may not absolutely prohibit” their coming or their residence. The Chinese Commissioners gave notice in the outset that they would never agree to the prohibition of voluntary emigration. Notwithstanding thia, the United States Commissioners submitted a draft- in which it was providea the United States might “regulate, limit, suspend or prohibit” it The Chinese refused to accept this. The Americans replied they were willing to consult the wishes of the Chinese Government in preserving the principle of free intercourse between th" people *of the two countries, as establisheu by existing treaties, provided the right of tho United States Government to use its discretion in guarding against any possible evils of the immigration of Chinese laborers was distinctly recognized. Therefore, it such concession removes all difficulty on the part of the Chinese Commissioners (but only in that cause), the United States Commissioners will agree to remove the word “prohibit” from their article, and to use the words “ regulate, limit or suspend.” The Chinese reply to this can only be inferred from the fact that—in place of the agreement as proposed by our Commissioners that we might prohibit the coming or residence of Chinese laborers—there was inserted in the treaty an agreement that we might not do it The remaining words, “regulate, limit, and suspend,” first appear in the American draft. When it was submitted to the’ Chinese, they said : “We infer that of the phrases, regulate, limit, suspend or prohibit, the first is a general expression referring to the others. We are entirely ready to negotiate wth your Excellencies to the end that limitations, qithein point of time or rumbers, may bo fixed upon, of the emigration of Chinese laborers to the United States. At a subsequent interview it was understood that by “limitation of number” they meant, for example, that the United States, having, as they supposed, by record, the number of immigrations in each year, as well as the total number of Chinese now here, that no more should be allowed to go in any one year in the future than the greatest number 'which had gone in the past, or that the total number should never be allowed to exceed the number now there. As to the limitation to time, they meant, for example, that the Chinese should be allowed to go in alternate years, or every third year, or, for example, that' they should not be allowed to go for two, three or five years. At a subsequent conference the Americans said the Chinese Commissioners have in their project explicitly recognized the right of tho United States to use some discretion, and have proposed limitation as to time and number. This is the r ght to regulate, limit or suspend. In one of the conferences the Chinese asked tho Americans whether they could give them any idea of the laws which would be passed to Carry these powers into execution. The Americans answered tills could hardly be done ; that the United States Government might never deem it necessary to exercise this would depend upon circumstances. If Chinese immigration cmcentrated in cities where it threatened public order, or if it confined itself to localities where it was an injury to the interests of the American people, tho Government ot the United States would undoubtedly t-ke steps to prevent such accumulations of Chinese. If, on tho contrary, there was no larger immigration, or if there were sections of the country where such immigration was clearly beneficial, then legislation by the United States under this power would be adapted to such circumstances. For example, there might be a demand for Chinese labor in the South and a surplus of such labor in California ; then Congress might legislate in accordance with these facts. In general, the legislation would be m view of and depend upon the circumstances of the situation at the moment such legislation became necessary. The Chinese Commissioners said this explanation was satisfactory; that they had not intended to ask for a draft of any special act, but for some general idea of how the power would be exercised. What had just been said gave them an explanation of what they wanted. With this entire accord m to the meaning of th< words they were gfeout to Maploy ( <uidth«

object of the legislation which might be had in consequence, both parties signed the treaty. In article 1, in which the Government of China agrees that the Government of the United States may regulate, limit or suspend such coming or residence, but may not absolutely prohibit it, it is stated the limitation or suspension shall be reasonable, and shall apply only to Chinese who may go to the United States as laborers, other classes not being included in the limitation. The legislation taken in regard to Chinese laborers will be of such character only as is necessary to enforce the regulation, limitation or suspension of immigration. The first section of the act provides that from and after the expiration of sixty days next after the passage of this act, and until the expiration of twenty years next after the passage of this act, the coming of Chinese laborers shall be, and the same is hereby, suspended, and during such suspension it shall not be lawful for any Chinese laborer to come, or, having so come after the expiration of said sixty days, to remain in the United States. The examination which I have made of the treaty and of the declarations which its negotiators have left on record of the meaning of its language leaves no doubt in my mind that neither contracting party, in concluding the treaty of 1880, contemplated the passage of an a«t prohibiting immigration for twenty years, which is nearly a generation, or thought that such period would be a reasonable suspension or limitation, or intended to change the provisions of the Burlingame treaty to that extent I regard this provision of the act as a breach of our national faith, and, being unable to bring myself in harmony with the views of Cougress on this vital point, the honor of the country constrains me to return the act with this objection to its passage.

Deeply convinced of the necessity of some legislation on this subject, and concurring fully with Congress with any of the objects which are sought to be accomplished, I will avail myself of the opportunity to point out some other features of the act which in my opinion can be modified to advantage. The cuisses of the Chinese who still enjoy the protection of the Burlingame treaty are entitled to the privileges, immunities and exemptions accorded the citizens and subjects of the most favored nation. We have treaties with many powers which permit their citizens and subjects to reside within the United States and carry on business under the same laws and regulations which are enforced against citizens of the United States. I think it may be doubted whether the provisions requiring personal registration and the taking out of passports, which are not imposed upon natives, can be required of the Chinese. Without expressing an opinion on that point I may invite the attention of-Congress to the fact that the system of personal registration and passports is undemocratic and hostile to the spirit of our institutions. I doubt the wisdom of putting an entering wedge of this kind into our laws. A nation like the United States, jealous of the liberties of its citizens, may well hesitate before it incorporates into its policy a system which is fast disappearing in Europe before the progress of liberal institutions. Wide experience has shown how futile such precautions are, and how easily passports may be borrowed, exchanged, or even forged by persons interested. If it is, nevertheless, thought that a passport is the most convenient way for identifying the Chinese entitled to the protection of the Burlingame treaty, it may still be doubted whether they ought to be required to register. It is certainly our duty under the Burlingame treaty to make their stay in the United States and the operation of the general laws upon them as nearly like that of our own citizens as we can consistently with our right to shut out the laborers. No good purpose is served m requiring them to register.

My attention has been drawn by the Chinese Minister to the fact that the act, as it now stands, makes no provision for the transit across the United States of Chinese subjects now residing in foreig-n countries. I think this point may well claim the attention of Congress in legislating upon this subject. I have said that good faith requires us to suspend the imm.gration of Chinese laborers for a less period than twenty years. I now add that good policy points in the same direction. Our intercourse with China is of recent date. Our first treaty with that power is not yet forty years old. It is only since we acquired California and established the great seat of commerce on the Pacific that we may be said to have broken down the walls which fenced that ancient monarchy. The Burlingame treaty naturally followed, and, under the spirit which inspired it, many thousands of Chinese laborers came to the United States. No one can say the country has not profited by their work. They were largely instrumental in constructing the railways which connect the Atlantic and Pacific. The States of the Pacific are full of evidences of their industry. Enterprises profitable to the capitalists and to the laborers of Caucasian origin would have been dormant but for them. The time has now come when it is supposed they are not needed, and when it is thought by Congress and by those most acquainted with the subject that it is best to try to get along without them. There may, however, be other sections of the country where this species of labor may be advantageously employed without interfering with the laborers of our own race. It may be a part of wisdom, as well as good faith, to fix the length of the experimental period with reference to this fact. Experience has shown that the trade of the East is the key to national wealth and influence. The opening of China to the commerce of the whole world has benefited no section of it more than the States of our own Pacific slope. The State of California and its great maritime ports especially have reaped enormous advantages from this source. Blessed with an exceptional climate, enjoying an unrivaled harbor, with the riches of a great agricultural and mining State at its rear, and the wealth of- the whole Union pouring into it over its lines of railways, San Francisco has an incalculable future, if our friendly and amicable relations with Asia remain undisturbed. It needs no argument to show the policy which we now propose to adopt must have a direct tendency to repel Oriental nations from us, and drive their trade and commerce into more friendly hands. It may bo that the great and paramount interest of protection of our labor irom Asiatic competition justifies us in the permanent' adoption of this policy, but it is wiser in the first place to make a shorter experiment, with the view hereafter of maintaining permanently only such features as time and experience may commend. I transmit herewith copies of papers relating to the recent treaty, which accompanied the confidential message of President Hayes to the Senate on the 10th of January, 1881, and also a copy of the memorandum respecting the act herewith returned, which was handed to the Secretary of State by the Chinese Minister in Washington. Chester A. Abthub. Executive Mansion, Washington, April 4, 1832. OBJECTIONS SUMMARIZED—THE PRESIDENT’S NOTES. Following are the memoranda attached to the veto message: 1. The time fixed in the bill, namely, twenty years, is unreasonable. The language of Article 1, that “laborers” shall not be absolutely prohibited from coming to the United States, and that, “ suspension shall be reasonable,” as well as the negotiatons, indicate that a brief period was intended. A total prohibition of the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States for twenty years would, in my opinion, be unreasonable and a violation of the meaning and intent of the treaty. 2. The inclusion of “skilled labor” in the bill is an addition to the words and intent of the treaty. It will operate with harshness upon the class of Chinese merchants entitled to admission to the United States under the terms of the treaty. The shoe merchants and cigar merchants of China manufacture the goods they sell at their places of "business, and to shut out “skilled labor” would practically shut them out as well, since it would prevent them from carrying on their business in this country. A laundryman who keeps his shop and has a small capital with which to pros ecute his trade cannot in any just sense be termed a “ laborer.” and the merchant tailor comes in the same category. 3. The clauses of the bill relating to registration and passports are vexatious discrimination against Chinese residents and immigrations, when article 2 provides explicitly that they shall be entitled to all privileges conceded to the subjects of the most favored nation. The execution of these provisions of the bill will cause irritation, and, in case of loss of passport or certificate of registration, Chinese residents entitled to remain may be forcibly expelled from the country. 4. If the bill becomes a law it win leave an impression in China and its Government of the strangely misunderstood character of the trea y, or that Congress has violated some of its provisions, and this wfil tend to prejudice the intelligent classes against the United States Government and the people, whom they now greatly admire and respect 5. There is no provision in the bin for transit across the United States of Chinese subjects now residing in foreign countries. Large numbers of Chinese live in Cuba, Peru, and other countries, who cannot return home without crossing the territory of the United States or touching at San Francisco. To deny this privilege, it seems to me, is the violation of international law and the comity of nations, and, if the bill becomes a law it will in this respect result in great hard ship to many thousands of innocent Chinese in foreign countries.

Every man knows that one-half the stocks in the hands of speculators are bubbles, which will collapse with any sudden disaster. Suppose Gould or Vanderbilt should die, or either one or both should attempt to unload, where would be the thousands .of others who are risking their all upon margins ? It is the haste to get rich which endangers all interests by heedless speculation. Small things cease to be small when their effects ere mighty,

JESSE JAMES KILLED.

A Companion Amaminatea Him in His Home at St. Joseph* Mo.-Pro-tenna Excitement Threu«nout the Region Which Gloried in His needs. Jesse James, the famous outlaw, before whom the deeds of Fra Diavolo, Dick Turpin and Don Joaquin dwindle into insignificance, was killed at St Joseph, Mo., on the 3d inst His slayer was a mere boy of 20 years, a cousin by marriage. The affair created the most intense excitement at St Joseph, and 10,000 people assembled at the inquest The dead bandit was fully identified, and the body was forwarded to Kansas City by order of Gov. Crittenden. There has been a standing reward of <50,000 for Jesse James, dead or alive, which was offered by the Governor of Missouri in connection with the railroad authorities several months ago. which will in all probability be turned over to the youth who put an end to his earthly existence. Tue following account of the killing of the notorious robber, sent out from Rr. Jo«or>h. w P he read with i’lferest: There fs little doubt that the killing was the result of a premeditated plan formed by Robert and Charles Ford several months ago. Charles had been an accomplice of Jesse James since the 3d of last November, and entirely possessed his confidence. Robert, his brother, joined Jesse near Mrs. Samuels’ house, mother of the lames boys, last Friday a week ago, and accompanied Jesse and Charles to this city Sunday, March 23. Jesse, his wife, and two children removed from Kansas City, where they had lived several months, until they feared their whereabouts would be suspected, in a wagon to this city, arriving here Nov. 1,1881, accompanied by Charles Ford, and rented a house on the corner of Lafayette and Twentyfirst streets, where they stayed two months, when thev secured the house numbered 1318 on Lafayette street, formerly the property of Councilman Aylesbury, paying <l4 a month for it, and giving the name of Thomas Howard, •j.ue house is a one-story cottage, painted white, with green shutters, and romantically situated on the brow of a lofty eminence, east of the city, commanding a fine view of die principal portion of the city, the river and railroads, and alapted as by nature for the perilous and desperate calling of James. Just east of the house is a deep gulch-like ravine, and beyond a broad expanse of open country, backed by a belt of timber. The house, except from the west aide, can be seen for several miles. There is a large yard attached to the cottage and stable where Jesse had been keeping two horses, which were found there this morning.

Charles and Itobert Ford have been occupying one of the rooms in the rear of the dwelling, and have secretly had an understanding to kill Jesse ever since last fall. A short time ago, before Robert joined James, the latter proposed to rob the bank at Platte City. He said the Burgess murder trial would commence there to-day, and his plan was, if they could get another companion, to take a view of the situation of the Platte City Bink, and, while arguments were being heard in the murder case, which would engage the attention of citizens, boldly execute one of his favorite raids. Charles Ford apKsd of the plan, and suggested his brother rt as a comuanion worthy of sharing the enterprise with them. Jesse had met the boy at the latter’s house, near Richmond, three years ago, and consented to see him. The two inen accordingly went to where Robert was ; and arranged to have him accompanj them to Platte City. As stated, all three came to St Joe a week ago Sunday. They remained at the house all the week. Jesse thought it best that Robert should not exhibit himself on the premises, lest the presence of three able-bodied men who were doing nothing should excite suspicion. They bad fixed upon to night to go to Platte City. Ever since the boys had been with Jesse they had watched for an opportunity to shoot him, but he was always so heavily armed that it was impossible to draw a weapon without him seeing it. They declare they had no idea of taking him alive, considering the undertaking suicidal. The opportunity they had long wished for came this morning. Breakfast was over. Charles Ford and Jesse James had been in the stable currying the horses preparatory to their night ride. On returning to the room where Robert Ford was, Jesse said: “It’s an awfully hot day.” He pulled off his coat and vest and tossed them on the bed. Then he said: “I «uesß I’ll take off my pistols for fear somebody will see them if I walk in the yard.” He unbuckled the belt, in which he carried two forty-five-caliber revolvers, one a Smith & Wesson and the other a Colt, and laid them on the bed with his coat and vest He then picked up a dusting-brush with the intention of dusting some pictures which hung on tho wall. To do this he got on the cnair. .His back was now turned to the brothers, who silently stepped between Jesse and his revolvers, and at a motion from Charley both drew their guns. Robert was the quickest of the two. In one second he had the tong weapon to a level with his eye, with the muzzle no more than four feet from the back of the outlaw’s head. Even in that motion, though quick as thought, there was something that did not escape the acute ears of the hunted man. He made a motion as if to turn his head to ascertain the cause of that suspicious sound, but too late. A nervous pressure on the trigger, a quick flash, a sharp report and a well-directed ball crashed through the outlaw’s skull. There was no outcry, just a swaying of the body, and it fell heavily back upon the carpet The shot had been fatal, and all the bullets in the chamber of Charley’s revolver, still directed at Jesse’s head, could not more effectually have decided the fate of the greatest bandit and freebooter that ever figured in the pages of tbe country’s history. The ball had entered the base of the skull, and made its way Out through the forehead, over the left eye. It had been fired out of a Colt’s 45, improved pattern, silver mounted and pearl bandied, presented by the dead man to his slayer only a few days ago.

Mrs. Jumes was in the kitchen when the shooting was done, divided from the room in which the bloody tragedy occurred by the diningroom. She heard the shot, and, dropping her household duties, ran into the front room. Bhe saw her husband lying on his back and his slayers each holding his revolver in hand, making for the fence in the rear of the house. Robert had reached the inclosure and was in the act of scaling it when she stepped to tho door and called to him, “Robert, you have done this; come bacK.” Robert answered, “ I swear to God I did not.” They then returned to where she stood. Mrs. James ran to the side of her husband and lilted up his head. Life was not extinct, and when asked if he was hurt, it seemed to her that he wanted to Bay something but could not She tried to wash away the blood that was coursing over his face from the hole in his forehead, but it seemed to her “ that the blood would come faster than she could wash it away,” and in her hands Jesse James died. Mrs. James was greatly affected by the tragedy, and heartrending moans and expressions of grief were sorrowful evidence of the lovejshe bore the desperado.

The Outlaw’s Exploits. Jesse James was born in Olay county, Mo., in 1845. He is the son of the Rev. Dr. James. He has had little education. When 16 years of age he joined Quantrell’s band of guerrillas, and participated in the butchery at Centralia, Mo., and tho sacking and burning of Lawrence, Kan.* He was also connected with other events of the war of like nature. In 1866 he made his first robbery, which was at the bank of Liberty, Mo. In 1867 he robbed the Russellville (Ky.) Bank, and m 1868 the Huntington (Va.) B ink. Daring 1866 and 1868 he was connected with stage robberies in Texas. Frank James and Jesse, in 1869, robbed the Gallatin (Mo.) Bank and killed the cashier. In" 1872 he robbed the Kansas City Fair office, in broad daylight, of SIO,OOO. In 1873 St. Genevieve Bank was robbed, and in 1874 the Muncie (Kan.) Bank. In that year he robbed a stage at Hot Springs, and also Earticipated in his first train robbery on the ■on Mountain road. In 1876 the Minnesota Bank was robbed, at Northfield, Minn., and the cashier killed by three of Jesse’s gang. The Glendale train robbery occurred in 1867 ; the Winston and Blue Cut train robberies last year. Since then cfficers have been in pursuit of the desperado. He yas aided m all of his exploits by a gang rrom ms own neighborhood, it is estimated that his robberies amount to nearly $1,060,000.

The Mother of the Dead Bandit Appears on the Scene. A St Joseph telegram of the sth inst., says: “The mother of Jesse James reached here yesterday, and had an affecting meeting with the widow and children of the bandit After viewing the corpse with streaming eyes, she was taken to the Coroner’s inquest. H. H. Craig, Police Commissioner of Kansas City, testified that Robert Ford acted under his instructions, but Charles was not commissioned. The jury held Robert Ford for killing Jesse James, and charged Charles with complicity. Mrs. Samuels, the mother of the outlaw, created a sensation by a vigorous denunciation of Dick Little as a traitor. The remains will be handed over to her for interment. Rpbert Fojd engaged as a detective in July last, and secured his brother’s assistance. Bugler, one of the James gang now on trial at Independence, Mo., savg that the* Fords were in the Winston robbery. Gov. Crittenden has sent five men to identify Jesse’s body, when he will divide <50,000 reward between the Fords and some officers who have worked up the destruction of the bandit”

The Body of the Freebooter Turned Over to the Kelatives. St. Joseph, Mo., April 6. The body of Jesse James was shipped from this city yesterday evening in custody of Marshal Craig, of this city, and the family of the dead desperado, consisting of L. W. James, cousin of Jesse, B. T. Minims, the widow’s brother, Mrs. James, Mrs. Samuels and the two children. It wm tjtken tp Kearney Clay

county, Mo., and buried on the James Homestead. There has been considerable of a wrangle over the remains between fL H. Craig. Police Commissioner of Kansas City, Sheriff Timberlake, of Clay county, and the local authorities, who insisted upon seeing the body placed in the keeping of the relatives instead of being taken to Kansas City. The body was officially turned over to Mrs. James by Coroner Heddens on an order from the Grand Jury of Buchanan county and the dispatch of Gov. Crittenden. The jam on the depot platform, as the relatives stepped from their conveyance to take tbe train, .was tremendous. Mrs. Samuels was the most conspicuous personage in the throng. She insisted on having an official escort from the citv, fearing that an attempt would be made to take the body from the train at Kansas City. TheFordboys are close prisoners at the county jail, and when interviewed this morning they betrayed a nervous anxiety about their fate. Up to within twelve hours ago they did not seem to realize the gravity of their situation, but to-day Robert confessed to a reporter that if he had known that he would be thrown into a dingy cell he would not have killed Jesse. The arms and jewelry found in the outlaw's home are in the hands of the police, who refuse to surrender them until the question of their ownership has been fully determined. The households effects will be sold to the highest bidder. Capt E. Ford, a brother of Robert and Charles, arrived here yesterday. In an interview he said: “ I have been in this thing since last fall, and tried for several months to get Charley and Bob into it Jesse has said that it •nv of us wont back on him he would kill *u. We thought he was after us, and for that reason went into it. I knew the boys had him located, but I did not know just where they were. It was only a question of who should shoot first, Jessie or us. We tried to get him to our house, and he did come there twice, but I was not at home either time, and nothing was done. I know where Frank James is, but don’t propose to tell, just now at least. He is somewhere East Frank will revenge Jesse’s death, and somebody connected with the affair will undoubtedly be killed. This matter is not yet ended.”

The Funeral of the Desperado. The funeral of Jesse James, the dead trainrobber, took place at Kearney, the home of Mrs. Samuels, mother of the James boys, and was attended by a vast number of people, many of whom had known the outlaw from his boyhood days. The services took place in a little Baptist church, where Jesse was converted, in 1866, through the influence of MissMimms, his own cousin, who afterward became his wife. The funeral party left the hotel at 2:10 p. m. First came the wagon with the corpse and next the family, next mounted officers, and last a wagon with tho reporters. An immense crowd, on horseback, on foot and in wagons followed. The pall-bearers were Sneriff Timberlake, Deputy Reed, Charley Scott, J. B. Henderson. J. D. Ford, Ben Flanders and James Vaughan. On the hill around the church was a big crowd. After the body was carried into the church, the services began with the. hymn, “ What a friend I have in Jesus.” The Rev. Jones followed in prayqr, after which the hymn, “ Where shall rest be found ? ” was sung. The Rev. J. M. Martin followed with the funeral sermon. After the Rev. Martin had concluded his remarks, which were full of comfort ror me mourners, and in which he dwelt on the for-, bearance and willingness to forgive of Christ, the procession started for the farm in the same order in which it went from the hotel to the church. It was followed by an immense irowd. The services at the church were very dramatic, as Mrs. Samuels raved and made herself so obnoxious that many persons left She denounced the slayers of her son as cowards and murderers, and invoked the vengeance of Heaven upon their heads. The body was taken to the Samuels home, about four miles from the town, and buried in the dooryard of the house where as a boy he had played boyish pranks, and as a man driven off detectives and officials scores of times.

A HUMAN BAROMETER.

The Real Relation Between the Human Hotly and the Weather Scientifically Explained. [From the Scientific American.] One of the most valuable developments of modern science along the line of human necessity is the National Weather Bureau at Washington. Experience has shown that 86 per cent, of the predictions of the signal service are accurate; and these predictions are unquestionably of the greatest advantage to the seaman, the agriculturist and the entire commercial world. The service has proven its necessity by its usefulness, for in past times the facilities for foretelling atmospheric changes were meager indeed. The only indications our fathers had of coming changes in the weather were aching limbs, twinging joints or painful corns. These “ indications,”, though crude, wete usually correct, and* hence naturally suggest the inquiry as to the relation between the human system and the weather. The body is unquestionably an excellent barometer. It foretells changes in the atmosphere long before they occur, and this fact has been taken advantage of by physicians who, when all other agencies fail, prescribe a change of air, thus hoping the body may find an atmospheric condition better suited to its needs. And yet the real relation between the human body and the weather has never been fully understood, nor has there ever been, uutil now, a correct explanation of what rheumatism (which seems in league with the atmosphere) really is. It was originally thought by many to be a trouble in the joints, and as such was treated in the most strange, not to say ridiculous, manner. This theory became dispelled when the same trouble attacked the muscles, and the feeling then prevailed that it was purely a muscular disorder. But this idea was found to be too narrow, and now it is universally conceded that rheumatism is a blood disease. And what a terrible disease it is. It often comes without warning and prostrates the system with agony, .Again its beginning is gradual, and its growth slow. In its acute form it manifests itself in every conceivable shape and always accompanied by intense pain. At one time it is inflammatory, at another neuralgic. Sometimes it assumes the form of gout, and again that of pleurisy or lumbago ; but in whatever manner it appears it is terribly painful and always to be dreaded. The pain and annoyance of rheumatism are increased by its great danger, for it is liable to attack the brain or heart at apy moment, thereby causing instant death. Indeed, nearly every case of heart disease with all its dreadful suddenness which has ever occurred can be traced- more or less directly to rheumatic causes. In its chronic form it stiffens the joints, contracts the muscles, undermines the health and ruins the life. It frequently attacks men and women who are apparently in perfect health. Indeed, it is as greatly to be dreaded as any possible form of physical woe. But, however severe its effects may be, the exact cause of this blood trouble has been an undecided question, and it is only within the past year that any. decision upon the subject has been reached. In order to fully determine what the cause of rheumatic diserders really was, certain authorities sent letters of inquiry from Washington to the leading practicing physicians of tbe land, and these inquiries were responded to quite generally, thus furnishing data of great value to science and mankind. The views held by the doctors are of a varied nature, but so overwhelming a proportion hold to one belief as to leave but little doubt that it is the correct one. This belief, briefly stated, is that uric acid in the blood causes rheumatism, and that it is only by removing this poisonous acid that rheumatic or neuralgic troubles in all their terrible forms can be cured. This being true, the important question arises : ■ “How does this poisonous uric acid get into the blood, and how can it best be removed ’? ” Uric acid is a waste material of the body which the kidneys should carry out, but because they are weakened they cannot throw it from the system. Restore the kidneys and you restore tue power that will force the uric acid from the system and thus banish the rheumatic agonies which it causes. This is reason ;it is science. No one whose kidneys are In a perfect condition was ever troubled with rheumatism, and no rheumatic sufferer, however slight tbe pain may be, has perfect kidneys. The conclusion of this truth is inevitable ; perfect kidnevs mean freedom from rheuma'ism. When rheumatism has manifested itself in any special part of the body, attempts have usually been made to treat that part of the body. As a result, the pain has departed but the disease has remained, lying subtly concealed and ready to break out at some unexpected moment. Checking the pain in any single locality only scatters the disease through the system, when, if the seat of the disorder, which are the kidneys, were reached, a complete cure would be the result. The way, therefore, to expel this rank and poisonous acid before it assumes an inflammatory or chronic form is by keeping tho kidneys in absolute health. This is no easy thing to do, and no means has, until within the past few years, been known which would successfully reach and affect these great organs. At last, however, soientists have discovered that the leaves of a tropical plant, previously but little known to science and unknown to medicine. possessed marvelous qualities adapted for the kidneys. These leaves have been skillfully combined in the remedy now known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. It is, up to the present time, the only known preparation that acts so directly upon the kidnevs as to effectually cure the various dangerous terms of kidney disease, and hence to remove all urio acid from the blood. As a result, the cures it has been the means of performing are really very remarkable. Indeed, there are thousands of persons in America to-day who owe their restoration to health and entire freedom from rheumatism to this simple yet powerful remedy, which is known universally, mauufac tired in Rochester, N. T.. and sold in every dru“ store in the laud. From tbe doctors in the various cities of tue Vnited States who h»ve certified over Umr owu

gignatnreg to the scientific statement thatnrie acid in the blood ia the cause of rheumatism, are a large number of Chicago and St. Louis physicians, among them being Dr. Adolph Uhlenieyer, Dr. Wm. Webb, Dr. John M. Frank, Dr. Edwin T. Webster, Dr. Benjamin F. Whitmore, Dr. William T. Richardson, Dr. Robert T. Atkinson, Dr. Thos. F. Humbold, Dr. William M. McPheeters, Dr. William Johnson.

Woodbury, Dr. Alfred H. Hiatt, Dr. Horman Hahn, Dr. Calvin M. Fitch and Dr. John D. M. Carr. , J The theory of the doctors as above explained finds its confirmation in the fact that when the kidneys have been cured, rheumatism is completely removed. This is not, of course, always accomplished instantly, for, in a disease so subtle, the cure is often very slow, but under no other plan can any hope of pernfanent rehef ever be found. There are hundreds of cases on record during the present winter of persons afflicted with rheumatic troubles of the wont order who have been entirely cured by following the theory above stated and using the remedy mentioned. Many of these persons had the very worst possible symptoms. Vague aches in different portions of the body were followed by agonies the most intense in some particular spot. Acute and throbbing pains succeeded each other and the coursing poisonous acid inflamed all the veins. Troubles which began with slight disorders increased to derangements the most serious. It is sad to think that all this suffering was endured when it could have been so easily relieved. Acting upon the theory and using the remedy above mentioned the kidneys could have been restored to their usual vigor, the uric poison expelled from the system, the inflammation removed and the pain entirely banished. These are some of the real and scientific f acts regarding rheumatism, attested by the highest authority, and they are, beyond question, the only correct ones ever brought forth. We are aware they are advanced ideas, but ten years hence they will be the accepted belief and practice of the world. If people suffer from rheumatic troubles in the future and with these plain truths before tnem, they certainly can blame no one but themselves.

Leaving a Man in the Lurch.

It was on a street car. A man with a very hoarse voice looked across the aisle at a man with a country satchel between his feet, and said : “ Wintry day, isn’t it?” “ Hey ?” called the other as he put his hand to his ear. “Seems like winter, doesn’t it?” shouted the man with the hoarse voice. “ Hey ? hey?” asked the deaf man. “He says,” began a man who was standing up, “he says it seems like winter.” At this moment the hoarse-voiced man rose up and slid out of the car. As he did so the deaf man rose up, laid two parcels on the seat, and called out: “ Speak louder—l’m deaf !” “He says it seems like winter!” bawled the man standing up. “Who says so?” He turned around to the hoarse-voiced man, but that person had skipped. “ Who. says so?” demanded the deaf man. “ I—l—why, I say so.” “Well, what of it? Haven’t I sense enough to know that this is winter weather ? Don’t try any of your guys on me or I’ll knock the top of your head off!” Then the deaf man sat down and the “middleman” sneaked out and dropped off the car and said he would spend the rest of his life looking for the hoarsevoiced man.

The lowa Butter and Cheese Association held their Sixth Annual Convention in this city recently, and the attendance was very large indeed, and great interest manifested. We have attended the last two National and State conventions and noticed this fact, that the dairymen of lowa are very rapidly adopting the Fairlamb system of gathering cream. Mr. Fairlamb, of Davis & Fairlamb, manufacturers of dairy supplies at 170 Lake street, Chicago, is the original inventor of this system. This is absolutely true, that the great dairy interest is solely indebted to Mr. Fairlamb for the system which has already been worth millions of dollars to lowa farmers, and which is now revolutionizing the business in the entire Northwest, and greatly to the furtherance of the best interests of the agricultural and dairy people. There has been a determined effort made to have the cream-gathering system called by some other name than the Fairlamb system, but without avail, for it is too great an invention and of too much value to the people to ment anything but the loudest praise. The Fairlamb system will be about the only system in use within two years if not sooner, judging at the rate that the dairymen are adopting it. We would suggest that all who are interested in this business write Messrs. Davis & Fairlamb, 170 Lake street, Chica-' go, for circulars giving full information. We visited them while in Chicago lately, and were surprised at the magnitude and extent of their business. They have a very extensive manufactory, and are hard pushed to meet the great and increasing demand for go ods throughout the country. They are a prompt, reliable, squaredealing firm.— Cedar Rapids Journal,

Something to Bring the Stars Nearer.

A Georgian of scientific attainments, residing at Darien, has discovered that lenses for telescopes can be manufactured from the virgin drip of rosin. The largest lens made of glass is only thirty inches in diameter. The magnitude can be greatly increased by the new method, and, consequently, there is no telling what wonderful astronomical results may flow from its adoption. The main difficulty is in securing a favorable opinion at headquarters here. My Darien correspondent is unfortunately not situated for pushing his discovery, and I can only aid him with my pen and tongue. He reminds me, and I repeat it for public edification, that no less a person than Mr. Calhoun stood in the way of Professor Morse’s electric telegraph, and Mr. Stephens says that he was the only Southern Congressman who stood by Morse through thick and thin. Gentlemen who are conversant with science assure me that the Darien discovery is worthy of a thorough test.— Washington Letter in the Augusta Chronicle.

A German painter once obtained permission to paint some great court ceremony in which the Emperor William and his son Fritz were the ceiftral figures. The Emperor asked the artist to show him the sketch of his picture. On examining it he noticed that the Crown Prince was represented standing with one foot on the steps of the throne dais. He at once asked a bystander for a pencil, and altered the sketch, which was returned to the audacious artist with the significant words “not yet” written under the figure of the Prince.

Save Your Wives.

When a man has been so fortunate as to wed a bright-eyed, joyous, happy-faced girl, he should be especially careful of her health. An invalid wife or mother is greatly to bo pitied ; and yet, sometimes, in spite of love, and care, and tenderness, our women-folks do get sick. Beginnings with irregularities and dyspepsia, the general health begins to fail, and weakness, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, etc., make life miserable. The cheeks become pale, the eyes grow listless, the heart’s action enfeebled, the pulse weak, and decay of the pulmonary, digestive and urinary organs is the result. For restoring sickly women to health and strength, Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, excels all other medicines. It is a true tonic. Its principal ingredients are Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Celery ana Calasaya Bark. It builds up the female system, and will positively cure falling of the womb, irregularities, female weakness, dyspepsia, etc. The largest of all New England’s financial corporations is the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, whose assets now reach $50,258,785. The position of this single institution, in comparison with Hartford’s banks and fire-insurance companies, is, that its assets now are more than six times the combined aggregate caiptal of the national and State banks and trust companies of that city, and nearly five times the combined capital of Hartford’s fire companies.

Mb. Abthub B. Cohens, of Newport, Ky., writes : “ I wish to speak a good word for Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. My wife suffered greatly from a complication of diseases, ending in a miscarriage, which for months confined her to her bed. She had never fully recovered, and at times complained severely of a feeling of bearing down, while her periods were very irregular and gave her great pain. Her physician seemed to be doing her no good whatever. A friend recommended Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. From the first dose she began to improve, and is now as healthy and strong as a young girl. I think it the best medicine in the world.” A recent article in one of our exchanges is entitled “ The Oyster War.” Few would believe that the oyster, under any circumstances, would be combative, and yet such seems to be the case. The oyster, as he -lies on our plate, looks calm and unimpassioned. He seems cool, collected, and reserved, and yet when the tocsin of war is sounded, he rubs a little cayenne pepper on his back and nerves himself for the combat. In times of peace he is taciturn and undemonstrative, but when wars and rude alarms disturb the air, he crawls out of the can and makes Rome howl.—Laramie Boomerang.

Charleston, 8. C. : Db. Holman : It affords me great pleasure to add my testimony for the benefit I have received from the use of the Holman Pad and Plasters. For oyer forty years I have eiftftired the misery growing out of a torpid liver and dyspepsia, accompanied with violent headaches, and have tried various remedies and change of climate without receiving permanent relief. I have worn one of Holman’s Pads about one month with wonderful results, and can say that I feel better than I have done for years, and I believe will be permanently cured. From the benefit I have received, I am convinced of the virtue of the Pad and recommend it to suffering humanity. Every Home should contain EilerCs Extract of Tar and Wild Cherry.

Men first made books in Babylon, where they fashioned them out of clay, and baked them like bricks, and they have been at it ever since all over the world, until the accumulated knowledge of ages has reached dimensions that are simply stupendous. Only 1,300 years ago there were but nine books in all England. They were the great and sacred treasures of the monks of Canterbury, and they were the germ of the first English library. There are nearly a million and a quarter of books in the British Museum, and during the last twenty years the great store houses of literature among civilized nations have nearly doubled their contents. “Jane,” he said, “I think if you lifted your feet from the fire We might have some heat in the room.” And they had not been married long.
