The local World’s fair directors, by a vote of 22 to 7, last night de- cided to open the fair on Sundays, beginning May 21. The Mississippi river is reported to be overflowing the low lands near Burlington Iowa, and great damage is being done to farmers. Indiana republicans are so well pleased over the results of the Louis- ville convention that they say Harri- son will again lead the party in 1896. The Cunarder Campana crossed from New York to Queenstown in a fraction over five days, making the fastest Eastern record and beating the Paris. The work of the republican league at Louisville is severely criticised by leading republicans, it being the impression that several bad breaks were made. missioner had a red hot time over the resolution to “fire” music di- rector Theodore Thomas. The mat- ter went over temporarily. One of the several robbers who have been operating with a high hand in Jefferson county Missouri. has been arrested after a hard fight with a gang of three. Five men were killed in the Citi- zen coal shaft, near Lincoln, Ilis., Sunday night by gas explosion. The men were at work about fourteen thousand feet from the entrance. John Terrell, who murdered con- ductor L. F. Price, at Seymour, Ind, the other day was taken from the jail at Bedford Sunday night by amob and banged to a tree in the gail yard. About a dozen or fifteen small country banks in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the most of them connect- ed with the failed Columbia Na- tional Bank of Chicago, have sus- pended business. ‘The sudden death of a boy at Clin- ‘ton last week, who had been whipped by his teacher a few days before, caused wild rumors by gossipers. But an inquest developed the fact that the boy had died from verebro- meenengitis. —_— “The case of the city of Clinton vs. Henry county, as to which should pay for the macadam around the pub- lic square in Clinton, was decided by the court of appeals in favor of the county last week. This sticks the town for $3,000. According to the tax returns re- ceived at the state auditor's office sheep raising is dying out in Mis- souri. In June, 1882, there was re- ported 1,792,700 sheep, and in 1892 only 920,950 were reported showing a falling off inten years of 716,750. The holding of the national re- pubiican league meeting at Louis- ville, seems to have been for the the express purpose of adopting a woman suffrage resolution, At least no other business of importance seems to have been transacted. — The republican convention at Louisville singularly omitted all allusion to the tariff or the force bill. The new leaders know when they have enough if the old ones} don’t..... If there was anything tacking to show the utter demorali- @ation of the republican party, it is furnished by the alacrity with which ITS DUTY PLAIN. jof the party on the money question. | What would please the south and west would not please the east and north. So the financial question was by common cousent left in status quo For the same reason the republican party could no more lthe democratic party. So it was |with a namber of other questions |more or less sectional. But the great issue in which the |people are deeply interested, the | tariff, was made the leading one in |the campaign. There was no uncer- tainty as to the democratic idea on this issue. The national convention in adopting its platform rejected a straddle and double-meaning plank, !and spoke in no uncertain language when it said: “We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the dem | Ocratic party that the federal gov- ernment has no constitutional pow- er to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only and we demand that the collec tion of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government wher honestly and economically ad- ministered ” That was the issue up- on which the great political battle of 1892 was fought and won. It has made the course of a democratic congress plain. It has a great duty to perform and is instructed in no uncertain language just how to per- form it If it does this and relieves the burdens of an oyer-taxed_ people, then its lease of power will be indef- inite. Never did a congress meet with a clearer expression of the will of the people for its guidance. THE NEXT CONGRESS. Planning to Have It Work in| Harmo- ny With the Administration. Washington, D. C., May 13.—The Star has this: “The democratic lead ers in congress and the administra- tion are trying to come to an under standing as to the policy of the next congress by which they can avoid the danger of a split in the party on the money question and secure unit ed action oy several important ques- tions which will present themselves. It is believed by those who have been most active in the matter that an agreement will be reached on the much-dreaded money question. In fact, the programme of the congress has been laid out with considerable detail and great hopes are entertain- ed that the administration and con- gress will dwell together in harmony. Itis the present understanding thata compromise proposition to dispose of the silver question by ac companying the repeal of the Sher man law with the repepl of the 10 per cent tax on state bank currency will receive the sanction of the ad- ministration, and that the men in congress who are fighting against any contraction of the currency will be satisfied to let go of silver if they can get the state currency. It is designed also to levy an in- come tax, and it is believed that Mr. Cleveland will favor this. Briefly, there are four things which it is the desire of the party leaders that the coming congress should dispose of as speedily as possible, and it is be- lieved that Mr. Cleveland will dwell upon all of them in the first message. They are the repeal of the federal election laws, the levy of an income tax, the repeal of the Sherman law and of the tax on state bank curren- | cy and complete revision of the tariff, making a decided reduction of duties all along the line.” In Barton county on the line of Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf road, it is claimed that about 60 la- borers went on a strike, one refused to join them and he was sewed up in asack and ducked in the river. The prosecuting attorney is inyesti- gating the case and if he can identify the parties will have some whole. sale arrests.—Vernon Co. Republi- can. Last week Gov. Stone issued par- dons to Will Davis, sentenced from Jackson county for burglary, and George Drain, sentenced from How- jafford to take a positive stand than | PENSION REFORM. Commissioner Lochren Takes an im- portant Step in that Direction. Washington, D. C., May 13.—An| important order revoking the cele-| brated “completed files” order of ex- | Commissioner Raum has been issued | | by Commissioner Lochren. The or- der says that hereafter all pending | claims in each class will be taker up | for consideration in the order in | which the considered evidence is fil- | ed the object aimed at being a prac-| |tical return to the method in vogue prior to 1889. Wheneyer any evi- dence shall be received in any case, such evidence will be strapped to ; the case and the file card will be at once placed at the top of the file box of the examiner in whose charge the case may be. Whenever any exam- iner shall have disposed of all the cases on his desk addititional cases presented by the file cards at the bottom of such examiner's file box shall be placed on his desk for con- sideration and action, and the prop- er call for evidence shall be made,or pending inquiries answered, or the case, if found to be complete, shall at once be submitted to the board of Review for final adjudication. It is calculated that under the new administration a check is going to be given to the rapid growth of the pension list even without the as- sistance of any legislation. When the pension appropriation bill was passed at the last session of congress it was expected that the amount ap- propriated would be about $15,000,- 000 short of the expenditures for this fiscal year. It was anticipated that a deficiency of that amount woul: have to be provided for at the coming session. The average num- ber of original pension cases passed oneach month is expected, however, to be but about one third what it was underthe former administra tion of the office and instead of a de ficiency there will bea suplus of about $6,000,000. DASHED TO ATOMS. Ten Men Fall 3,000 Feet Sheer ina Mine Shaft. Houghton, Mich. May 14.—Ten timbermen were dashed to pieces in the Red Jacket perpendicular shaft of the Calumet and Hecla mine at noon to-day. The miners were com- ing up in the cage to dinner and the engineer hoisted the cage against the timbers of the shaft. The coupling-pin broke and the men were dashed downward, over 3,000 feet to the bottom. There was no way of reaching the | bottom nor getting the dead men out except by going through anoth er shaft half a mile away, so that it was nearly three hours before the true state ot affairs could be ascer- tained and it will be morning before the bodies can be brought to the surface. It is necessary to hoist them 550 feet by ropes to reach the level of the next shaft, then carry them nearly half a mile through the drifts and then hoist them by the man car. Damages for the Loss of an Arm. Sedalia, Mo., May 10.—The su- preme court has affirmed the decis- ion of the Pettis county circuit courtin awarding George J. Brill a judgment for $4,000 damages against the Missouri, Kansas & Tex- as railway for the loss of an arm. Plaintiff was a boy of 14 years, and was hanging on a moving train. A company watchman appeared, fright- ened the boy so that he fell beneath the wheels and hisarm was mangled. Donnelly Sued tor $25,000. St. Paul, Minn.. May 12.—Dr. Ev- erett W. Fish, editor of the Great West, an alliance state paper, this evening brought suit for $25,000 against Senator Ignatius Donnelly? Ina letter published in a paper here this afternoon Mr. Donnelly, over his own signature, stated that 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.

DISHONOR AND DEATH. The Man Who Robbed Petty’s Store Seeks Death by Drown. ing. Geo. W. LaSbull, a farmer who re- sides a mile or so south of Metz com- mitted suicide Saturday by jumping into the Little Osage river. The par- ticulars in the case as run down bya Review reporter are as follows: Several days ago the general store of Dr. Petty at Metz was robbed ofa wagon load of goods of various kinds and the thief escaped until Saturday when some men in searching for him found the goods near the Osage riv er. It is believed when LaShull saw the men coming, he became frighten- ed and fearing the law, attempted to either swim the river or drown him- self—the latter being the general sup- position. The river was dragged yesterday evening and the body re- covered. On his person was found $1 90, allin pennies which were iden- tified as money he had stolen from the postoffice. A coroner's jury re- turned a verdict in accordance with the above. Deceased had resided in the neighborhood about a month.— R. H. Review A HORRIBLE CASUALTY. Molten Zine Poured Upon a Workman in a Smelter. Nevada, Mo., May 13.—One of those awful accidents which, it seems the most careful forethought cannot always prevent occurred at the Lan- you smelter at 4 o'clock this morning While drawing a pot of metal at block No. 8, the huge ladel, contain- ing 125 pounds of zine prematurely overturned, spilling about 75 pounds of its molten contents upon Charles Marmont. The molten stream struck him fairly up on the chest just below the throat and deluged the entire front of his person, the white hiss- ing fluid burning its way through the quivering flesh and along every inch of his body from his throat to his thighs. His breast. arms and abdomen were literally cooked aud along his limbs great flakes of flesh were burned to a crisp from his thighs to his feet. The poor fellows body presented a distressing sight. The light clothing that he had worn hung in cnarred remnants only half concealing the buraed and trembling flesh beneath. All of the skin upon the breast, arms and ab- domen swelled in livid streaks or stood in crisp little rolls, where the fiery torrent had burned its course. In hundrees of places the burning metal had burrowed into the flesh Dr. Fish had during the last cam- paign, accepted thousands of dollars from the republican state committee and that he would appear in any court on summons and prove his charge. like red hot knife blades and cooled there and long spikes of zine were imbedded in doctor picked out a hundred or more such pieces.

St. Petersburg, May 14.—A small ferryboat on the River Mests, neer rod became unmanageable in mid stream to-day and was swept from her course by the current. The pas- sengers who filled her deck were panic stricken. The surging of the crowd made the boat lurch and sev eral passengers jumped overboard. Others launched a boat which was at once overcrowded and swamped. Dozens of persous are known to are missing. About a fifth of the the boat and were saved.

Co. BUTLER, MO. | ~ clncus DAY. Ringting Brothers’ World-Famed Ag- | gregation Almost Here. | “Are you going to the circus?” is the question that everybody is asking everybody else these days; and the | answer is invariably in the affirma- tive. No circus aggregation that ever visited Butler ever aroused the preliminary enthusiasm that has marked the announcement that the Ringling Brothers’ World’s Greatest Shows would exhibit in this place May 24. In view of the fact that this won- | derfal zoological ethnologic, arenic, equine and hippodromic exhibition is the largest tented amusement in the world—that it employs more | people, runs more trains, has more | horser, elephants, camels and wild | animals, and exhibits under the larg- jest tents ever constructed—this feeling of enthusiastic anticipation can be easily understood. We sug- gest to rural people the advisability of getting to town as early as possi- ble, soas not to miss the grand | Street procession, which moves promptly at 10 o'clock, rain or shine. The maguitficent tableau of Moscow's Kremlin Tower with its chiming bells, the golden steam calliope, the long caravan of ghttering chariots and superbly carved dens, the rare and curious wild beasts openly ex- hibited in cages of scintillating spien- dor; the cavalcades of knights and | fair ladies, and the great herds of elephants are alone worth coming miles to see, and, after all, they are only preliminary tothe most remark- able exhibition of arenic and hippo- dromic marvels that man’s ingenuity ever brought together.
