New York, July 31.—Maria Viv- eexza Chiara Carrachina, whe ar- rived among the emigrants brovgbt here Monday by thesteamship Neus- tria from the Mediterranean ports, mourned in confiement yesierday ‘the loss of a large quan-ity of jewel- ty which she aitempted to bring here free of duty in a bustle, in ig nerance of he dress reform recently effected inthis country. The unusual protuberance, in connection with the fact that Itahan immigrant wo- men wear no such article of dres , attracted the attention of Anna C. Parks, a woman inspector, who took Miss Carrachina to the room set apart for examination ard caused her to be thoroughly searched. Mrs. Parks’ search brought to light five gold chains, thirty-three pairs of kid gloves, two gold mounted smelling bottles, two silver watch chains, nine gold finger rings, five gold pendants and five pairs of gold ear rings. The jewelry was confiscated and taken to the seizure room, and Maria Vir n- za Chiara was held to answer to the charge of attempt'ug smugg ‘ng. The following, credited to an ex- change is going the rounds of the Tlinois press: “The next state in which the tides of immigration will turn will be Mis- souri. Tired of the far west aud dusty California, disenchanted with drouthy Kansas, sick of fever-strick- ea Florida, dissatisfied with Dakota, the solid people are now go:ng to seek and find homes on the feitile and salubrious prairies of Missour’, among its thrifty, temperate and in- telligent people. They are coming here because there is a school house on every hilland a church in the valley; because they find a hea ty western welcome, because our s)cie- ty is of the friendliest and best, be- cause there is achance here for ev- erybody rich and poor, old and Young; because Missouri is the best and most beautiful state in the ) Rnion.” Thousands of Dollars *re Bpent every year by the poop'e Of this State for worthless medic’1es for the cure of throat and lung dis- } @ases when we knowthat if they Would only invest $1 in SANTA AB- TE, the new California discovery for consumption and kindred complaints they would in this pleasant remedy find relief.

He had been ecnvicted of forgery committed while intoxicated. Soon after Pres- ident MHarrison’s nomination he wrotea poem entitled “The Old Soldiers,” which was published in an evening paper. The poem which, described General Ha-rison’s brav- ery at the battle of Resaca, was cop- ied widely on this coast, and after Harvison’s election one of the prison- er’s friends sent it to Mrs. Havrisoa with a brief account of the convict- authors good life +1 prison. She took an interest in him aad be has been pardoned. The released convict expressed great gratitude to Mrs. Harc:son and declares that her sympathy has madeamanofhim. His rameis withheld as he has the promise of a good position. The der: nd for te “f revision ‘s becoming so strong now even inthe Republican party, that Cong ‘ess w'! fad it impossibie to shivk ‘is du‘y in relation to this matter when it again assembles. The Chicsgo Tribune, the Boston Advertiser, the Cincinnati Comme:cial Gazetie, and even the St. Louis Globe-Democrat |and the New York Tribune have awakened to the fact that prompt and vigorous steps must be taken to check the encro-shmenis 0’ -he mo- nopolies which ave fosie‘el by the present tarff system. The remedy is to establish the impost duty og such articles of genera’ consump- tion as the trusts havé co: aered, and open the doors of foreign competi- tion. Thisis coming to the the position assumed by the iauiff re- forme.s‘n the preside>tial ec ivass lest fall. It vindicates P.pesicent Cleveland and the issae upon wt* bh he went before the corntry.

Papiavilie Items. Perhaps a few words of cheer [form the ancient county seat would be of interest to your readers. Papinville notwithstanding the hard times is anticipating a boom. Messrs F. Pierce and G. W. Watson of Kansas City were in our town last woek investigating the real estate in | this part of the county and seemed highly pleased. Mr. Henri, of the firm of Henri & Bennett, has sold his interest in the Papinville mill. Thenew firm, Ben- nett, Son & Summy, are having the mill fitted up with rollers. When this is done Papinville will have one of the best—if not the best mill in Bates county. Your correspondent saw G. W. Roberts, our enterprising merchant, conducting a gentleman around, who, we were told was the chief engineer of the M. K. & T. railroad. His ob- ject being to locate a branch of that road to this place. The company de- sire to reach the heavy timber in our bottoms, and rich coal fields and magnificent stone quarreis, fer- tile farms and beautiful orchards. The engineer thinks the road will be built soon, this we know to be more reliable than the usual railroad gos- sip. We desire to say that there is no finer lands in Missour: than the beautiful rolling prairies, and heavy timbered bottoms which surround Papinville. This place is certain to develop. We have every natural ad- vantge to make a thriving little town no richer coel mines can be found than those surrounding this place. We also have one of the finest rock quarrys in the state, it is of a supe- rior quality and is from six to seven feet in thickness. Our farming land cannot be surpassed, this year we have abundant yield of wheat, flax and oats, the corn evop is prom‘sing anenormous yield. Fiuits of all kinds do well here. Besides ou: river is lined with very fine pecan and walnut timber. A railroad is all we need to develop, and that we are going to have soon. Iria zER.

There are sev- era! miles of the old grade which will be ut‘tized 1d but Jittle work will be required other than put ‘n the bridges to complete almost nine miles of the road.—Foster News.

Amos Hughes after his Tiwzs Thursday eve. Geo. Price atthe shop this morning. Says he never saw the bumblebees so thick as they are this harvest. We can hear the whistle and see the smoke of steam threshers all around us, but so far have not been able to get one te come into this neighborhood; have the promise eftwo in ten days. Guess M L. Embree intends starting a foun- dry from the numberof old machines we see him handle, hence shall expect one good bind- er next season. L. C. Armstrong has his diploma from Prof. Burke, and is a good one considering he has not looked into a school book for 13 years. F. M. Fort stacked his oats Tuesday. Weuld you have thought it, listen! Mr. S. W. Price pitched hay all one evening, and its all due to the treatment of the K. C. doctor. By the way, Uncle Sam is much better. Mrs. Board and her daughter called to see Dr. Mc. this morning, as all good people do who sre in need of medicine, in this communi ty, that is, those that do not go to the Kansas City doctor or some other place; M. D’s, are thick. Elder Carpenter preached two excellent ser- mons Sunday at Oak Hill, to an appreciative audience. Dr. Choate and lady were there.

Sam Kiersey sold this week te a Jackson county man, his 35head of mules for a good ruand price, seems to us, and to-day (Friday) has gone to deliverthem. Sam isa mule man, sure, as he makes them bring good money. The thresher is threshing that big hay crop on Dixie Haggard’s farm, we hear. Mr. Tyre, of Mingo township, gave us a pleasant and substantia! call one day this week, hope his son is much better. A child of Arbuckle’s received a kick from a colt, which let a mark above his eye. W. W. Moshier and wife went to Montrose with a load of caickens to-day. with a load of Montrose flour. S. W. Price and M. L. Embree in Montrose to-day after a load of floar. Why is it all our men go to Montrose instead of Butler for flour, whe Butler has three flour mills? A wrong somewhere, Mont.ose is the town fer the farmers, claimed to be the best in this section ofthe county. As for us, we are for our Co. seat all the time, and would ke glad to see all Bates county stick to Butler, hence hope the business men of Butler will awaken to their interest and look a .er the farmers. Sam Kiezsey gone to Jackson county with his mules, to-day. The village was full of neighbors yesterday evening, and after playing marbles until tired of that, repaired to the ball ground where all engaged in a lively game of base ball for a cou- ple of hours.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 2.—A new and somewhat serious cattle disease has broken out in two or three herds near this city. It is spreading. It begins by aswelling of the eyes, which becomes so thoroughly ‘nflam- ed that blindness follows in a few days. The gatherings break,leaving a small round pimple on the eyeball and the beast is totally blind. A fever accompanies the disease and the milk of the cow is unfit for use. The cattle owners of this vicinity are greatly alarmed, and the utmost precautions are being taken to pre- vent the further spread of the dis- ease.
