Schneider, the murder- er of his wife and her brother, was hanged at Washington,D. C. Friday a A shortage of $100,000 in a branch of the Mexico Nations! Bank has caused alarm in business circles of the Republic. The woman’s relief corps of Illi- nois had a tremendous row over the election of officers and some scan- dalous charges were made. The Chinese of Wyoming claim to receive orders from China to cow- ply with the registration law of the United States. Carlyle Harris, the wife murderer was resentenced at New York to die by electricity in the week beginning May 1. Rumors of a shortage have led the Randolph County (Missouri) Court to begin an investigation of the books of County Treasurer Matlock of that county, The negro arrested at Greeley Col. giving the name of Neill Thompson has been positively identified as the brute Davis, who outraged Mrs. Taylor of Sedalia Mo., in the pres- ence of her husband whom he had bound. husband of a white woman assaulted by negro Massey, drew a knife as he entered court to testity and made a furious assault on the prisoner. The Minnesota legislature, in de- fiance of law, has published letters from John Rhodes’ letter book, forci- bly seized, showing the existence of a big coal ring with iron-clad rule, in the state. Prof. Virchow, 4 son of the emi- nent cholera expert of Germany, who is in this country, said in an inter- view on cholera that the principal precaution was to observe care in what is eaten. Ewing Cockrell, son of Senator Cockrell, captured tke Bowdoin prize of $100 at Harvard university. This is the highest intellectual com- pliment that the great Harvard can confer upon a student. Squire Abingdon Baird, the Eng- lish patron of sport and backer of Charley Mitchell in his coming fight with Corbett, died at New Orleaus Sunday. He had been on a protract- ed spree from the time he reached this country. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell, who will now wield the ax, called on Vice-President Stevenson Tuesday and the two de- termined that on the basis of the most rapid movements not more than 3,500 postmasters a month could be decapitated. Jules Ferry, president of the French senate, died of heart disease last Friday. It is thought the af- fection of the heart was due to the effects of a bullet striking a rib near the base of the heart at the time he was attacked by the maniac, Auder- tin in 1887. He was one of the most eminent French statesmen of recent years. The school tax for this district has been reduced by the board from 65 to 60 cents on the $100 valuation. They figured to reduce the tax still lower but could not do so and con- tinue the schools for rine montns. As the bonds are paid the extra tax levy will be reduced each year. The board has a sinking fund provided and when money enough has accu- mulated a bond is taken up,and in a few more years the entire debt will be lifted and no extra tax will then be asked. As it now stands the pub lic will have to vote the extra levy or cut the school year down to five or six months. Of course this would not do and the people will as here- tofore vote for the levy almost unanimously. TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION STANDS rogative by vetoing the bill passed by both houses to abolish township organization The governor basis jhis reasons for this action on con- stitutional grounds and further that such action is unwarranted in view of the fact the counties now operat ing under that law are satisfied with workings and have their business in such a shape that such and act would greatly diseommode aud inconvenience them. While the editor of the Tres is opposed to the system and has been for years—his opposition being bas- ed upon its practical workings from a personal observation and expe- rience—still we are inclined to be- lieve with Governor Stone that the question of its retention might best be left with the people them We firmly believe that it is only a question of time when all of the,sixteen counties in the state now operating under the law will vote it down. This would be a much bet- ter and more satisfactory solution of the difficulty. One thing to be regretted about the governor's veto is that his act spoils all of the whereases and resolutions adopted by the union labor conven tions of the different townships con- demning the democratic party be- cause of the act of the legislature in repealing the law. These will have to be saved up and worked over on some other occasion. We will work under the township organization law as at the present for’ several years to come. its selves. The Planet flouring mills of Keh- lor Bros., at Litchfield, Ills., said to to be the largest single flour making establishment in the world, took fire Tuesday morning at 3:15 and an ex- plosion followed which wrecked al- most every business house in the town. Many persons were badly in- jured and several were killed. The report says the shock of the explo- sion was felt for fifty miles. Win- dow glass was broken ard chimneys blown down in towns ten miles dis- tant. The capacity of the mill was 2,000 barrels of flour daily, and fur- nished employment to 150 men. The loss on the mill is estimated to be one million dollars. The large ele- vator on the Wabash track contained @ quarter million bushels of wheat was burned. ‘Ten or twelve cars of wheat standing on the track near the mill was also burned. ly respected citizen of Vernon coun- ty committed suicide by shooting himself with a pistol at the residence of J. O. Morrison, a couple of miles west of Walker station.Friday morn- ing where the deceased had been making his home for several months. It is supposed that continued ill health had unsettled the old gentle man’s mind and caused him to com- mit the act. SHELBY SLATED. The Popular Old General the Unani- mous Choice of the Missouri Dele- gation. Wahington, D. C., March 21.—It is now understood that Gen. Joe Shelby will get the marshalship, if the two senators and the balance of the delegation can get it for him, and if any doubt now exists in his affairs it is a white house doubt and which all the Missouri congressmen will do their very best to remove. In addition to Shelby, so amicably slated for the marshalship, the Hon. Joe Finks of Chariton seems to be on the Cockrell-Vest list for collect or of internal revenue. This being agreed on Vest today had a talk with J. R. Waddill, who desires the United States attorneyship and sug- gested that be go in for one of the Indian commission places, of which there are three under the recent In- dian bil!. Senator Dawes will be re-| ° publican member of the commission and as Senator Vest framed the clause which provides for the commis sion he will undoubtedly be asked by Mr. Cleveland to name one of the two democrats himself, and expects Senator Vest will name Waddill and that move is probably agreed to right now. Livingston of West Plains will probably be the attorney. Who Can Beat It? Denison Texas, Dispatch. A man named Stone out in New Mexico the other day fell from a ledge of rock in the mountains and rolled the distance of one hundred feet before there was a cessation of gravity’s volition. When he arose both pockets were filled with gravel and in emptying them found he had gathered 4 hundred dollars gold nug- gets, having rolled down an embank- ment which -had never.been dese crated with the foot of man and dis- lodged a rich paying vein of ore which will make him a ten-million aire. ‘This find hits the old prov- erb, ‘a rolling stone never gathers moss,’ a lick under the belt and shelves it as a back number. Governor Stone has used his pre-| | | sth chesness, | GRAND AKMY BUSSISM. Secretary Lamont’s Bold Stand Against it Creates a Sensation The Republic Bureau, ) Cor. 1th St. Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, D. U.,March 17 iss3.j The refusal of Secretay Lamont to either receive Porter or be bull- dozed by his stocked committee yes-! terday made a sensation in Wasb- | ington. The Grand Army Bulldoz | ing Committee, as it might be prop- erly termed, but which is usually designated as the Grand Army In- fluence Committee, has been held in such terror by the lowest officials of the government up to the cabinet officers and the president himself that the bold declaration of inde- pendence made by the secretary of war is the dawn of a new era. It is in facta new declaration of independence. The walking dele- gates of the Grand Army of the Re- public have bulldozed the adminis tration for years. They have insist- ed upon the employment and pro motion of worthless fellows because they had Grand Army endorsements No matter how worthless, how drunken, how debased a clerk in the} department might be if he had the Grand Army button on his collar | the Influence Committee had the power to go about and demand his reinstatement if he was dismissed. Potter was one of the most influ ential of the Grand Army fellows here. He had led the grand army procession a hundred times to differ ent departments and bulldozed of- ficials from the president down. Now he has been flipped himself and is using his old tactics to try to get back. Secretary Lamont has in- foriaed him that he cannot get back; that he cannot even get a hearing; that he is already* familiar with his case, his charactaristics, his habits, his methods and his attitudes. Potter is gone for good. With him goes the power o! the graud army ux that has so long beenswing ing over the heads of the chief of- ficials of the administration here. It is not only the end of Potter but the end of grand army bossism. The secret potitical society that has so long musqueraded under the guise of being a purely beneficial organi- zation for old soldiers will have tu get out of the blackmailing business or confess that blackmailing is its object in life. The grand army has blackmailed every administraticn that has con ducted the government of the Unit- ed States since 1872. At last its power is broken; notice has been served on it that it has reached tbe end of its tether. The grand army walking delegation will not be receiv- ed any more by the chief officials of the government and every fellow will have to stand on his own merits whether he is a grand army man or not. This is the healthiest piece of information that has been sent out of this town in mauy a day. INTERES? REDUCED. The Missouri State Bank has aj large amount of money to be ioaned ou Real Estate and is making loans at very low rates and allowing bor- rowers to pay all or part at any time and stop interest. Parties wanting to borrow are in- vited to call at Bank and get terms. The postoffice election at this place came off last Saturday. There were no disturbances and a goodly number of the democratic patrons of the office turned out. The result was as follows: R. M. Morgan, 94; W. E. Middleton, 66; Addie Hayter. 20.
