Two Dark Btltcher.ee Hato Been Un- earthed Near There. Buena V’sta, Dec. 7.—(Special.)—Tho dead bodies of two well known farmers were found Just where they were huug or shot down, near here, and naturally no lltlle excitement exists throughout this section. There Is no elne to tho murderers, nnd so far the guilty parties aro breatlt- ’ng tho air of freedom, unharmed nnd unmolested. Three or four days ago, tt Is said, the body of n farmer by the name of Ed- wants was found near his home, rid. died .with buokshot. The discovery of the dastardly crime created great ex- ederuent, but the porpetnytors of the deed left no traces beh'nd that would lend to their detection. Only a few days prior to this horrible discovery some ono found the body of toother farmer, a Mr. ‘Moore, hanging from the rafters of n bam. This might have beou a case of su’clde, but com. Ins as It did Just before the last mur der causes many n> believe that Moore was killed by the same hand guilty of tho munler of Edwards. A resident of (Marion county yester day said that one of tlie above men foiled crimes was committed Just across the line In Taylor county. These killings, like tho terrible mur der of Mr, Green IV el Is only a few weeks ago, whose dead body was found shot Into doll rags, la evMcntly the work of "regulators." though theT mo tive for crime Is unknown. Manyfth’.nk tt tho work of "tn-Kmahlnors," while others profess to believe that some po- lit cal clique Is at the bottom ot It. No effort should be spared upon the part of the autherftes to hunt down and prod-cute the perpetrators of these terrible deeds. Superior court convenes shortly and tho recent bloody affairs will doubtless ho Investigated. UP IN BUSINESS T HAT’S where we are all the year round.

CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, The Western City Is a Great Place to Meet Acquaintances In—The Towns Compared* [Special Correspondence.] Chicago, Doo. 6,—-Although loss than ono-third of the territory between tho oceans lios to tho east of Chicago, this metropolis, as its inhabitants de light to term it, is nearer the center of the population of tho United States than any other groat city. It is not surpris ing, therefore, that the visitor here who has any acquaintances to speak of in the various states, east or west, is sure to meet some one ho knows almost every time ho goes ont npon tho streets, I have not been in Chicago before for eight yoars and havo never remained here more than a few days at a time, yet I have met on tho average half a dozen persons with whom I am ac quainted, more or loss intimately, every day Binco I havo been here, I arrived early on a Sunday morning, not too wide awake, for my borth In tho sleep ing car was not coudncivo to slumber, and therefore felt n trifle bored whon I stopped ont of thobns at tho door of tho hotel by tho singular conduct of a man who blocked my way and was looking mo fixedly in tho face, A momont later, however, my nnnoynneo vanished, for the boarded face relaxed into a smilo of greeting, and from his lips thoro issued a lioarly “How aro you, old boy?” By his voice I recognized him as ono who had boon associated with mo lfi yoars bofore, whon Wo wore both strip lings, in the scrvico of nn eastern busi ness house. Ho told mo that bo had a ranch somewhere farther west and was in a fair way to booomo rich ns soon as tho improving timos enabled the’ projectors of a certain lino of rail, as yet unbuilt, to go ahond with the enter prise, for Ills ranch had been chosen for a town site. Later in tho day, npon Madison street, I was surprised by an other old timo acquaintance, -whom I had known in Omaha. Before ho and I had finished talking a Buffalo friond joined ns, and while wo three wore all talking over old times a former Cin cinnatian joined tho group. And so it has been ovory day sinco I havo boon hero. Ono peculiarity ot Chicago that strikes tho man who has for some years been accustomed only to tho largo cities of tho oast is tho provalenco of buggies on the streets. In New York’s “down town” business soction a buggy is al most rare enough to exoito comment, and tho sight of a dozen buggies stand ing in a row by tho curbs, the horses tethered, as they are to bo seen in smaller towns, would bo an unwonted spcotaclo indeed. Many of the solid business men of the town drive from thoir handsome, comfortable homes, milos removed from tlie pulsating heart of things, to business every morning. Anothet peculiarity of Chicago, or rather of Chicagoans, as compared with Now Yorkers, is their delight in point ing ont locally famous buildings and places to tbe visiting stranger. I put tho difference in this matter down to tho foot that the Chicagoan has a great deal more local pride than tho Now Yorkc-r, The latter feels serenely oonfi- dont of tho fact that Manhattanvillo is "tho greatest town on earth," nud that it onght to bo enough for tho visitor to onjoy its glorios without having them specifically pointed ont Besides, tho Now Yorker reasons, everybody knows about the interesting points of Now York without being told. Tho Chioagoan is qnite as certain about tho supremacy of his city, both as to size and attractiveness, but ho is not so snre as to whether the visitor agrees with him, and ho is desirous that ho shall. Therefore there is no sign of weariness in the matter ot showing the sights. Chicago certainly produces more of an impression of sizo in tho stranger's mind than does New York, This is dno to tho fact that nearly all ot Chioago’s streets aro long, broad and straight, whereas comparatively few of New York’s are long or broad, and many of them aro crooked. Then, again, tho smoko of tho soft coal used here renders tho vistas dim and almost mysterious, oven on tho clearest days, adding great ly to tjio apparent distance of compara tively nearby objocta. In one point Chicago is far ahead of Now York, and that is in the courtesy displayed toward customers by tho em ployees of the business houses. So far as my experience goes at lost, the sajes; men and saleswomen of tEis town are qnite a hundred timos more solicitous of pleasing a prospective purchaser than aro thoso of Now York, and I nover havo had any cansofor complaint of the latter either.
