The people of Cass county have finally settled their bonded debt. thus saving the judges from the further pleasure of eating Kansas City jail food or the unpleasant duty of making out a pauper’s affidavit. A terrible railroad accident occur- red at Lafayette, Ind., by which ten lives were lost and many people were injured. There is a steep grade going down to the depot and while on this the air brakes refused to work and the train gained such a momentum that the engine and sev- eral cars left the track and struck the depot doing muck damage to property besides the loss of life. A few days ago while Judge Cris- man was holding court at Brookha- ven, Mississippi, an armed mob composed of one hundred white cappers, rode into town, surrounded the court house and jail, and de- manded the release of ten of their number who were being held for trial. The plucky Judge refused their demands and securing a pistol held the mob at bay until state aid was sent him by the governor. In war times such courage would have added stars on his shoulders. Thomas Fletcher Dennis,‘§ the Washington pension expert, writes in the May Forum that private pen- sion bills have recently been intro- duced in Congress to benefit “sol- diers, step-mothers, step-fathers, foster mothers, children over six- teen years of age, soldiers who Shad deserted, women not legally married to soldiers, women who had been divorced from their soldier husbands soldiers who had served less than ninety days, and soldiers not dis- abled from any cause.” Mr. Den- nis also tells of cases in which the supposed widow ofa missing sol- diers applied for a pension only to learn that her husband was still liy- ing and had already applied for pen- sion on his own account, from an address which was promptly fur- nished her!—Democrat-News, Mar- shall. | ATRESON-LAY CONTEST ENDED. | WILL NOT BE IMPORTUNED. | Judge DeArmond received a dis-| patch from the clerk of the supreme | “ iat | court Monday that the court handed | Hereafter the President Will See | down a decision in the Atkeson-Lay | ‘contest case in which the verdict of | ‘the lower court was affirmed. This leayes Judge Atkeson in the prac- | ‘ ana : jing has been issued by the President | | for publication: | tice of law, for which we are thank- We were a little bit uneasy for fear we would lose his valuable ser-} | vices to the active practice. The fact | that the full court assented does not, lof course, make the decision any | Mr. Atkeson a better opinion of the | judgment ofthe court. It is also of great importance in settling the | point of whether or not a few adhe- their own nominees placed upon an- other ticket by getting up a few names to a petition for that purpose. The methods resorted to to get Mr. Atkeson’s name upon the republican ticket after the regular republican organization had refused to place it there, were disreputable’ as well as illegal. We are glad the matter has been effectually settled by the courts. Speaking for the court Judge Brace said that candidates nominat- ed by electors are not the nominees of political parties but of individual electors nominating them and only as such are entitled to go upon the ballot. Electors may, however, des- ignate in their petition and name the party principle which the nomi nees shall represent, but they can not make such nominee the nominee of the political party whose name they may select. ———— A HOME COMPANY. The advance in rates by the in !surance companies in retaliation for the small license imposed by the city council has raised the ire of our business men and the friendly relations heretofore {ex- isting between the companies and patrons is liable to be severed. Mr. E. A Bennett, one of our leading business men, has taken the matter in hand and informs us that it is his intention to investigate and see ifa home insurance com- pany can be formed in this town for mutual protection. He said he had mentioned the matter to several ot the leading men of the city and the project had met with favorable con- sideration. - Mr. Bennett argues that upwards of forty thousand dol- lars is taken out of this town yearly by the insurance companies, that a fire has not occurred in Butler, bar- ring the opera house, for the past teu years that has exceeded ten thous- and dollars. and he feels assured that with a good system of water- works losses would not be great and that stock in a home company would within a few years be paying prop: erty. BE CLANISH.- The business men of Butler have been generous to the Tises in the way of support, aud for every dollar paid us we have endeavored to give value received with interest. But we do believe if there wasa little more in the distribution of their job work and a more fraternal spirit exist ed to give home offices a preference that it would be much better for all concerned. By doing this the money expended for this class of merchan- dise would be kept in circulation at home instead of being transferred to other places and given to parties clanishness among our business men No Office Seekers Except by Special Appointment. Washington, May 7.—The follow- “Executive Mansion, May 8.—It has become apparent after two months experience that the rules |” heretofore promulgated regulating interveiws with the President have wholly failed in operation. The time which under these rules was set for the reception of the Senators and Representatives has been almost en- tirely spent in listening to applica- tions for office which have been bewildering in volume, perplexing and exhausting in their iteration and impossible of rememberance. “A due regard for public duty which must be neglected if present conditions continue and an observ- ance of the limitations placed upon human endurance oblige me to de cline from and after this date, all personal interviews with those seek- ing appointments to effice, except as I, on my own motion, may especially invite them. The same considera tion makes it impossible for me to receive those who merely want to pay their respects except on the dey and during the hours especially designated for that purpose. “I request Senators and Repre- sentatives to aid me in securing for them uninterrupted interviews by declining to introduce their constit- uents and friends when visiting the Executive mausion during the hours desiguated for their reception. Ap- plicants for office will only prejudice their prospects by repeated impor- tuity and by remaining at Washing- ton to await results. “The Extra Session. We notice that there is a disposi- tion in some quarters to feign doubt whether an extra session of Congress will be called and it is suggested that “good Democrats” are warning the President to beware of bringiug on the battle sooner than may be neces- | Ab KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Z Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- Ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties ofa perfect lax- ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ced permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to milKions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- geys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug- gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered. JONES’ FINANCIAL PLAN. lieve the Situation. ‘The Republic Bureau, Cor. Mth St. Pen y Washington, D. of the Director of the Mint upon silver. He was there to-day. He has just been in New York. He talked some about the ruction that is going on in Wall street. noon, ‘that I gould not see why they should complain because there was so little money when the money was gold money. That's the kind of money they are calling for all the sary. This isa mistake. Good demo- crats do not talk that way, but only men who are at heart hostile to the causes which the democratic party has pledged itself to promote, or are cowards in the fight. Grover Cleveland is not one of them. Because heis President there will be an extra session. It will not be the least of its useful services to smoke out the spurious and faint hearted Cemocrats if there are any such in Congress. The extra session that must be had will not be culled too soon if it assem- bles in September, as expected. The democratic party has a great task before it. ‘The most important part of it should be accomplished so that the reforms that were promised can be in full operation some time be- fore the next elections. The longer they are in operation the better. To fail in this particular is to put a club into the enemy’s hands. The duty is to get to work and force the fighting. —N. Y. World. A Duel in the Dark. Fresnilo, Mex.. May 8.—Jacobo Valdez, a wealthy young merchant, and Plutoago Margro, a young attor- ney, who had been suitors for the hand of a young woman for several months, quarreled Saturday about time and the only kind that they are willing to have. And yet they com- plain that their troubles are due to scarcity of money. I suggested a plan to them. Isaid as there was not euough money in the country to carry on the business, why not di- vide up aud Jet the east have the money for six montbs iu the year and do its business and let the west take it for the other six months for its purposes. As there is not money enough in the country this seems to me to bea plan that ought to be met with favor by the god gentle- men, who want more money but will have none but gold money. I made a few remarks, toc, about Australia. Australia, as you know, has been having an awful time financially, and yet Australia is a good country. “Some how or other,” continued the senator, with a laugh, “my re- marks did not seem to be at all well received.”” A DEPLORABL - TRAGEDY.

Boston Transcript. It is time for the G. A. R. to cease from allowing its organizition to be used as a rallying-place for pension | sharks. The question has become one of vital moment because the im- mense expenditure it is causirg has | very much to do with the proper ad-/ justment of the new tariff schedules | that are expected. The public mot-| to of honest men is, millions for pensions to disabled veterans, but not a cent to those who skulkingly would cheat the federal government | by claims which timid politicians! have heretofore app:oved from fear of party consequences. In other | words, political cowardice is respon- | sible for millions upon millions of | pension expenditures. | His Crime Expiated. Sing Sing, N. Y, May 8.—Carlyle W.
