WEDNESDAY APRIL, 6, 1887. So far Gov. Marmaduke has acted favorably on forty-three bills passed by the legisluture. Jas. G. Blaine was warmly wel- comed inst. Louis last week. James 8 commencing his presidential boom early. ——— A correspondent notes that nearly all the men who have made their marks in American history are de- veloped in small towns rather than in large cities. Hotel del Monte, at Monterey, California, belonging to the South- ern Pacific railroad, was totally de- stroyed by fire the 2d inst. The loss 1s placed at one million and a halt dollars. The hotel was one ot the finest-n the United States. At the tame the fire was discovered the fhouse was crowded with guests but all escaped without harm. a The Governor did right, in our bumble opinion, in vetoing the bill establishing an appellate court at Springheld. The business of these courts did not warrant this additional expense, and the Governor’s reasons for his action can not fail to impress favorably every thinking mind Goy- ernor Marmaduke is making a most excellent executive, and by his man- ly performance ot duty has gained the confidence of his people. pesca John Sherman has swung around the circle, in the regular hippodrome style, and Jim Blame 1s making a atill hunt through the west and south- west. They are a lovely pair, and either would be willing to sacrifice himself on the presidential altar, and we have no doubt but that one of them will receive their party nomi- nation. We prophesy that it will be magnetic Jim, the plumed knight, who will try another tilt with Gro- ver Cleveland, and will be unhorsed, as he was at the last grand tourna- ment. It seems that the fate ot the Czar of all the Russians 1s sealed, and so understood eyen by his staunchest adherents, and when it 1s understood that the attempt recently made on his life was by uniformed Officers, and that too at Gatschina where the the Czar is as completely in the hands of his soldiers as though he Were at army headquarters in the field, the situation becomes darkly sinister. The fight between M. DeGiers and M. Katkofé has little teterence to Bulgaria, but 1s a fight for thie control of the regency, over the prospective death ot the Czar, when the boy heir comes to the throne. Truly uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. The financial statement of Bates county can be found on another page. The statement is made clear and precise, so that a man of ordi- nary intelligence can tell just the financial condition of the county. it is trie there is an indebtedness of a little over thirty-six thousand dol- lars, but what does that amount to with as large and Wealthy a county ssBates? The statement shows that every dollar ot surplus above the legitimate expenses economicaily administered, went into substantial improvements, the most of it in iron brdges. Then wherein comes the Great cry of fraud tLe republican press is continually harping on. Bates county has nothing to be ashamed ot in her financial showing, and should be very proud of her in- ternal improvements. We now have Gne of the satest courts, in charge of the county affairs, the county ever Ahad, and we predict that before their term of office expires the county will be out ot debt, money in the treas_ . wry, and in the mean time Dublic iwprovements will go steadily on ptnom an intermission.

Rail- roads, the great trade arteries have penetrated her borders and her rich mineral deposits are being develop- ed, comfortable school houses and churches are at the very door of every farmer. Towns boasting ot a poo- ulation of thousands have sprung up where only a few short years before the buffalo and coyote held undispu- ted sway, her many water courses spanned by iron bridges and her public highways graded through low swampy places. But as wonderful as has been the transtormation the the development of the resources ot Bates county has hardly begun. Her vast coal area, representing the very finest quality ot anthracite and bituminous coal, which underlays nearly the whole ot the county. Her sink, copper, petrolum, with the finest sandstone qurries in the State, even those of Warrensburg not ex- cepted, and these almost exhaustless, we ask, with all this latent wealth does it take a prophet to tell what the future greatness ot Bates county isto be. It needs but capital to de- velop these vast resources, and that is fast flowing to the west trom an overstocked money market. Bates county should secure her portion of this surplus, but there is but one way to do it, and that is to labor, with a united effort for thatend. If we sit quietly by with folded hands, and do nothing to let our possibilities then it merest accident were capital attrac- ted which we stand so much in need ot. Let us imitate the example ot our neighbors in Kansas who have a boom, and organize an immigration society through which we can let the outsidé” world know what we have. Ithas been suggested to us that an inter-county immigration society be tormed by the counties in this con- gressional district for the Purpose of encouraging immigration to the southwest. We thick that would be a good idea and are satisfied that Bates would lend her hearty co-oper- ation to such an enterprise. But a county society should be formed at any rate and steps should betaken in that direction immediately. A littie money judiciously expended in ad- vertising the county just now would be returned an hundred fold ina very short time. Cooley Leaves for Washington. Chicago, March 29.—Judge Coo - ley will leave for Washingington to day to meet the other railroad com- mussioners appointed under the in- terstate commerce law. Betore leaving tor the east he will hand in his resignation as receiver of the Wabash railroad to Judge Gresham and wiil ask to be relieved from the duties of receiver at an early day. In a brief talk at the Sherman house yesterday Judge Cooley said he had no idea who would succeed him as receiver, but there were many com- petent persons and a selection ought not to be difficult. The first ques- tion the commission will take up tor consideration will be regarding the application by the associated roads of Kentucky, Tennessee and Alaba- ma to be allowed special rates on through traffic without affecting their local traffic on account ot com- Petition by the Ohio river and Mis- Sissippi river lines. Judge Cooley Says the commission is authorized to grant special rates in such cases if it finds water competition materially affects the throuch traffic of the rail- roads. be known would be the ——____ There is a prospect that the extra session in West Virginia will result im bnnging forward a new candidate and electing him to the senate, A HORRIBLE MYSTERY A Husband of Three Trace of his Bride After Wreck at Letoni Pittsburg, Pa., March 31—.Chief | of Police Blackmore of this city ts | | nent a Sheets eetesuspussnsssustwe< so-so onenobansnsunssnssnanennie-civsanest in receipts of a letter from Mr. Charles S.

The letter says: “She is five teet three inches in height, weighs about 126 pounds, is very dark, with black hair and eyes and fine, even teeth. She wore, I suppose, a scarlet traveling dress and a seal muff with a pocket.
