The statutes provides that in ‘adopting the law, three notices | must be posted up in each township | before the election and three notices }in each township after the election | proclaiming the result. Judge Lay | held that procf sufficiently strong | was not presented to show that these |notices had ever been posted up. | The court didu't pretend to decide | But simply that the proof was not | sufficient in the case in question that | the required procedure was proper ly conformed to for its adoption. It would be a great hardship to a large number of our farmers who have neglected their fences and in some cases removed them entirely, under the impression that they were being protected by a stock law, to now have the courts delare that the law was not legally adopted. Neverthe- less if that is true and the stock law now in force in Bates county will not hold, the people should know it and have another opportunity to vote on the question. There is no doubt but what a great majority of our people are inclined to ob- serve the present conditions of the law and live up to its provisions un til it can be re-submitted and voted on by the people. Keek your stock up and observe the provisions of the stock Jaw until the matter is defi nitely settled. DR. BRIGGS A HERETIV It is well for Dr. Briggs that he lives in the 19th century It is all very wellto be a heretic and get lots of free advertising and much notoriety when it doesn’t cost any- thing. But when it comes to being a martyr to one’s views and having the torch (live burning fire) applied to the cuticle it isa different matter. Dr. Briggs repudiated some of the dogmas of the church and is punish- ed by expulsion. The laws and customs of the age alone prevents the same punishment being meted out to him as was to heretics a hun- dred years or so ago There is no doubt the prosecution wasas_ bitter and unchristianlike in the Briggs case as it was when heretics were burned. Dr. Briggs is convicted of being heterodox, which means that his higher education and well train- ed mind refuses io accept unques- tioned all dogmas of his creed hand- ed down from generation to genera- tion. The Presbyterian church is orthodox enough to expel Dr Briggs for being heterodox, but when the Doctor builds up another creed, under another name he will Presbyterian assembly, will continue to teach at Union Theological sem- apary. —___—— It was Denmark’s day at the Fair. The personal exhibits of Queens Victoria of England and Margherita of Italy have reached the World’s Fair. The Anti-Trust Convention, called by Governor Nelson of Minnesota, cand with representatives from nearly cali the 34 States, is meeting at Chi- cago. Two widows claimed the remains of W. H. Livingston, a rich merch- ant at Sioux City, and the funeral was conducted under an injunction from the court. The Merchants’ National bank ¥ort Worth has been put in charge -of a national examiner by request of its officers, who are disturbed by in- ternal dissensions. Gen. McMahan and ‘Gen. Slocum say one third of the money paid for pensions is fraudulently obtained. ‘There is no longer any doubt of the truth of the statement. The republican party is feeling something easier. Mahone and For- aker have annouced that henceforth they are out of politics. Clarkson ought to follow suit.

The Presbyterian church by such actions is not offering a very great induce- ment for the educated and thinking young men of this age to enter its pulpit. Hon. John B. Henderson, repre- senting the great bulk of the old railrcad bonds against St. Clair county, has made an offer to com promise for 50 cents on the dollar, and take new bonds to draw 4 per cent. to run for 20 years, payable in 5, 10 and 15 years. Other counties that were cursed with this indebted- ness, have compromised and got it in such a shape that it isno longer a burden on the people. St. Clair county's judges are now lying in the Kansas City jail because they refuse to make a levy to pay off the judg- ments now held against the county. People will never settle in that county and develop its resources so long as this debt hangs over it. Dis- regarding the methods used to sad- dle these bonds upon the county, the very best and wisest thing for the people to do is to vote a reason- able compromise and forever settle the matter. They can never hope for peace and prosperity in St. Clair until these bonds are taken up and canceled. N. J. Wollard has resigned as a member of the Executiye commit- tee of the Farmers’ and Laborer’s union of Missouri. He gives as the reason for his action the attempt of the other members of the committee to drag the order into politica. The Union intimates that it was because of the pecuniary interests the Trvges had in publishing a de- tailed statement, that it called atten-! } tion to the abbreviated condition of | {the one furnished by the county | clerk last week. Two years ‘the contract to | Times had the followiug to say be- cause it was not made out according to law: court violating the clear provisions of the law in order to save a few dol- lars. The law provides that the tax- payers shall have the benefit of a de- tailed or itemized statement of the expenditures, and the court has no lright to abridge the report or any part of it.” And again: “The county court violated the law when it failed to make out and pub- lish a detatled statement of the re- ceipts and expenses for the past year. The ction and jury fund, publish- ed in the twin organs, is not in detail but an abstract of the monies spent on that fund. This is a clear viola- tion of sections 3187 and 3188 Revised Statutes of 1889.” We also called attention to the law in the following: “Sections 3187 and 3188, article IV. of the Revised Statutes, 1889, provides that a detailed statement of the re- ceipts and expenditures of the county for the preceding year shall be made out by the court and published, as thus made out, ina county newspa- per. Section 3204 of the same article reads: ‘Any county judge or county clerk violating axy of the provisions of this article shall be guilty of a mis- demeanor, and shall be punished ac- cordingly, and upon conviction shall, in addition to the punishment pro- vided by law, be removed from of- fice.” of th: Mason and Dixon line and that t.o for the same offense they avetiu.. le to dance onair in the south Will those northern ex- chan, » which have been such . howl on the negro outrage, pleas tak+ rote of this.

The Springfield Leader suggests that if Mr. Foster will tender 600,000 silver dollars to his creditors he will be thanked, and the evidences «of his indebtedness will be handed him with alacrity and delight. There are no flies on the silver dollar. A saloon keeper at Canton, Ills, used arubber stamp to print his name and business on every bill that came ivto his possession. The gov- ernment got hoid of him for mutilat- ing money and it cost him one hun- dred dollars. Moral: Don’t monkey with Uncle Sam. Attorney General Little of Kansas has informed State Bank Com- missioner Breidenthal that the An- buity Loan and Savings Association of St. Louis must comply with Kan- sas banking laws or cease business in that state. The Union has a special spite at U.S. Hall. That gentleman seems to survive it, however. He has suc- ceeded in getting into congress while the fellows who insisted on running the alliance into politics are in the soup. The Globe Democrat is disposed to poke considerable fun at Governor Stone for seeing seven robbers where there was only one. The governor had been to St. Leuis, but we are loth to believe that any treatment he received in that city could have so magnified his vision. Nor was the Governor afraid, we scorn such an imputation. Didn't he ask the lady next to him if she hada _revol- ver handy? The Governor explains it all when he says he had the tooth ache. If any power on earth will magnify the visions even fold it is the jumping tooth ache. Greenville, Miss.,June 2.—Thelit- tle town of Eudora, Ark., 30 miles southwest of Greenville, was de- stroyed by a cyclone yesterday. E. Freidlander, the leading merchant of the village, was killed outright, lis store having been blown down upon him. About 20 dwellings were destroyed, one negro child be- ing killed and several negroes in- jured.

ALL KINDS OF MACHINE OILS. CLEVELAND SPEAKS UP. There is No Mystery, He Says, About His Financial Policy. Washington, D. C , June 5.—Pres- ident Cleveland said this evening in reply to a direct question by a rep- resentative of the associated press, he intended to call an extra session of congress not earlier than the 15, of September unless unexpected contingencies should necessitate an earlier meeting. The president fur- ther said: “While there bas been no mystery nor secrecy in regard to my inten- tion in this matter, I think it not amiss that our people should be ing formed authoritatively that the time is at hand when their representatives in congress will be called upon to deal with a financial condition which is the only menace to their country’s welfare aud prosperity. It is well for the people to take up the sub- ject for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions as to the mer- its of a tinancial policy which obliges us to purchase silver bullion with gold taken from our reserve. One does not need the eye ofa financier to see that this gold thus subtracted from the government's stock is eagerly siezed by other na tions for the purpose of strengthen- ing their credit at our expense. It does not need the art of states manship to detect the danger that awaits upon the eontinuance of this operation. Already the timidity of capital is painfully apparent, and none of us can fail to see that fear and apprehension in monetary circles will untimately bring suffering to the-very humblest home in the land. I think that between now and the meeting of congress, much depends upon those engaged in financial op- erations and business enterprises. Our vast uational resources and credit are abundeutly sufficient to justify them in the utmost confi- dence. Instead of being frightened they are conservative, and if, instead of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster, they contribute their part of hope and steadiness they will perform a patriotic duty, and at the same time protect their own interest. Things just now needed are coolness and calmness in financial circles, and study and reflection among our peo- ple.” Will Be Lynched. Laurel, Del., June 2.—John Den- nis, colored, got on a big spree yes- terday. Reaching home his father upbraided him. Taking his gun he said he would leave home for good. His wife followed him, begging him jto return. He shot and mortally wounded her. His mother denounc- ed him for the crime and he tried to kill her but she escaped. His father interfered and he shot his father dead. He then fled to the woods. The sheriff at the head ofa posse located him and the desperate negro shot the sheriff dead and es- BENNETT-WHEELER MERC.

Kansas Farmers Robbed. | Topeka, Kan., June 2—If the statements of Jones. the state grain inspector, are true, the inspection of grain by the Kansas City Board of Trade is a big steal. Inspector Jones has induced Attorney General Little to get after the board. He charged that wheat isinspected and turned in ata lower grade than it really is, and when the consignee wishes to sell another inspection is | had, and itis reported as being a} better grade, which enhances its} value from 3 to 8 cents a bushel. A suit in quo warranto will be com- menced by the state in the supreme | court in a few days to ascertain the rights of the board of trade and also the authority of the state iuspector. This steal on the part of the board of trade has cost the farmers of the state large sums annually, and their methods of inspection will be chang- ed if they can be under the law. Safely Across The Sea. Londor, June 5.—A party of fire- men from Kansas City, Mo, U. S. A, head by George U. Hale, inven- tor of the Hale water tower, arrived here today to take part in the grent fireman’s tournament. They came over on the City of Rome, and have with them a valuable team of horses, said to be the most perfectly tramed in the United States. During their | stay here the Americans will give | exhibitions with their tower aud their scaling ladders. They are a fine looking body of young men. The recent pension order issued by Secretary Smith is merely a| return to the law of 1890, which | was superceded by Commissioner Raum’s famous order.

Atchison, Kansas, June 2.—About midmght last night deputy sheriffs Smith and Donelson arrested a stranger giving his name as Geo. W. Davis, for the theft of two grips some time ago. Davis is in a bad way. Hehas four bullet wounds in his person, any one of which would have killed an ordinary per- son. He has been shot through the back and lungs, through the shoul- der, through the thigh and through the face. Davis, who had been drinking, when asked how he came by his wounds, said he was in the Dalton fight at Coffeyville. It is believed by the officers that they have cap- tured the missing participant in the famous Dalton raid at Coffeyville last fall, as he tallies with the de- scriptive card received shortly after the fatal raid. The fruit crop will be light. The sound fruit has developed to a form sufficient to tell what the yield will be. Much that was blighted by the frosts several weeks ago has dropped off. The better varieties of cherries such as May and Early Richmond will not be more than a fourth of a crop. Apples will be about one- third of a crop. Peaches nearly one- half a crop. Stawberries half a crop, and other small fruit in proportion. There will be but little fruit for shipment from this section this sea- son.—Belton (Cass Co ) Leader.
