Francis H. Weeks, the erstwhile New York millionaire, now a fugitive from justice, has been located on the Windward Islands. The Colorada Supreme Court has decided that maneater Packer, who killed five men in 1874 and ate part of the bodies, must serve the cumu- lative sentences imposed for each murder. K. C. Star 19.—Rattlesnakes are becoming numerous in Howard county again, owing, says the Glas gow Missourian, to “the indiscrim- inate and senseless slaughter of the blacksnake—harmless to man, but the inveterate foe of the deadly rep- tiles.” Gov. Stone ended the agony and surprised the St. Louis politicians by making the following appoint ments for that city Friday: , To be Coal Oil Inspector at St. Louis—Capt. F. P. Bronaugh. To be Excise Commissioner for St. Louis—Nicholas M. Bell. To be Police Comissioners—Jere Fruin and John A. Lee. To be Tobacco Inspector at St Louis E. S. Brooks, of Monroe County. John Buettner, was named for coal oil inspector of Kansas City. It is announced that the Populists have orators slated for Fourth of July orations in nearly all the coun- ties in Kansas that gave small Re- publican majorites and that they will improve the opportunity for politi- cal purposes. A populist has very little regard for patriotism when it comes to embracing an opportunity for teaching their anarchistic doc- trines. We never had but one po- litical 4th July speech in Butler and that was delivered by Mr. T. J. Hen- driekson. The friends of General Shelby have the greatest confidence that he will be appointed marshal for the western district of Missouri. The Kansas City Times published a re- port sent out from Washington City that Attorney General Olney was against him, but that can not be ver- ified and it is believed to be without foundation. Senators Vest and Cockrell and a majority of Missouri congressmen are for General Shelby and he will be appointed sure. ‘The people of Butler would not "pe greatly surprised if the Ford dis- aster at Washington should be re- peated on a smaller scale in Butler. ‘Lhe court house building is in an unsafe condition and a slight jar might send the whole structure to ‘the ground. If anything of the kind should happen and a number of lives lost, who would be to blame, aye who would be held accountable before God and man for the taking of human life? Is it enough for the county court to have some one to 4ook at the crumbling walls, and ad- journ from time totime without taking action to repair this menace to human life? The building as it now stands is notoriously unsafe and it és positively dangerous for alarge crowd to go into the court room. a Kansas City Times: The most dan- gerous man of the day is the gossip. The man who tells you or your neigh- bors this or that financial institu- tion that is in trouble is either malic- ious or reckons not of the disaster his words may cause. Asa rule he lies. Within the past few days false re- ports have been put in circulation regarding half the financial concerns Irreparable injury may thus be done to an institution now wholly solvent. Credit is a del- icate thing. It must be guarded and pretected as a woman's reputa- of Kansas City. tion. Only the severest censure, yes, actual punishment, should be the portion of the scandal monger. __| deny, nor will he, the THAT INSURANCE TRUST- We are taken to account for our editorial views ou the fire insurance question by G. W. Clardy in an able article, from p standpoint, in the Democrat. While, no doubt, Mr. Clardy’s figures are correct in regard to the net protits of the diffe: companies in the Insurance com- ny at Wednesday, willbe sent to any address | the state, be does not attempt to) Ford's Theater disaster. alient points | | of our editorial, i.e. that the insur-| ance companies doing business in| | the state have entered into a poo! or tendent Covert and Engineer Sasse | | trust, and that this is especially no-| Clardy very frankly admits that “the | rate now in force in the city of But | ler was established last August bya Board of Commissioners of Insur- ance Adjustore, se/ected frem the different companies doing business in Butler.” The question mignt be} pertinently asked if the Insurance| companies have not formed a trust, why did not each one form its own rate based upon its past business experience in Butler and the state? Mr. Clardy is the very personifi- cation of frankness in his open man- ly letter. He not only admits that the Board to adjust the rates is} made up from one representative from each company, but, while in- sisting that the rate established for Butler is fair and equitable, admits that the trust thus formed has add- ed fifteen per cent. tothe rate thus established in revenge for the raising of insurance license by the city coun- cil. Mr. Clardy says: “Now I want to say one more word regarding the 15 per cent. added to the present} rate on account of the $21 license! placed on the companies that the! merchants, business men and prop | erty owners took the right view of| this matter and petitioned the city} council to place it back where it 36, and get the rates reduced per cent., which the companies all agree to do and we would, in my opinion, have established rates that would never be raised.” The Times took the position that the Insurance companies doing business in Butler had formed a trust, con- trary to the laws of the state, and the Insurance companies, through their defender, Mr. Clardy, admits that they have formed a trust but justify their flagrant violation of the law by pleading some adverse action of the city council to their interests. Attorney General Walker should be placed in possession of these | facts, and we don't believe there would be much trouble in proviag that the insurance companies have formed a trust in this state. Lizzie Borden, the young lady tried for ner life at Bedford Mass. for the murder of her father and step-mother, was acquitted. The case was given to the jury Tuesday afternoon and in one hour and a half the verdict was rendered. This was one of the most noted criminal cases of the day, made doubly iuteresting by the atrocity of the crime and the high standing, refined and educated lady on trial for the murder. The state made a very weak case and the policemen, the principal witnesses against the defendant, made them-} selves conspicious by their evident desire to fasten the guilt around this young lady. The decision was received with demonstrations of ap- proval. State Treasurer Lon V. Stephens, in referring to his experience on the Missouri Pacific train which was held up by lone highwayman Wii- son, said: “Some one might be in- quisitive enough to know what I was doing about this time. A man doen't have to criminate himself, but I expect I made as many differ- ent kinds of a fool of myself as any- body on the train, save, perhaps, the detective—but there was a kind of afoolI didn’t make of myself; that is, I didn’t bother the robbers (robber) while they were attend- ing to their business. I hadn’t lost any train robbers, nor was I a stock- holder in the corporation—and I re- mained in my car taking care of Sam Highleyman, Gov. Stone, the detective and others, who appeared a little frightened.” No Sates For Vagrancy. Jefferson City, Mo., June 19.—The supreme court this morning declared the statute respecting the sale of persons for vagrancy unconstitution- al. Joe Thompson, a negro boy in Andrew county, was a vagrant with- out visible means and was taken up and sold undera statute which has been in force many years. Hesought relief by the habeas corpus act with the above result. ‘to-day THE FORD HORROR. Four Men Hela Coroner’s Accountable by the Jury gtor, D.

Morgan sent the following re- plies to query of the New York Times as to their standing in the repeal of the Sherman law: Butler, Mo, June 10.—Am for act repealing Sherman law and pro- viding for free coinage of silver; also for issuing more greenbacks and against issuing bouds. Davin A. DeAronp. Lamar, Mo., June 11.—To the Editor of the New York Times: We are now engaged in paying debts and not in borrowing more money. We do not need cheap money from London when times are good, and when times are hard we cannot get it. I favor the repeal of the Sher man law and in its place the full re- monetization of silver and its free and unlimited coinage. I favor the like use of gold and. silver coin in payment by the treasury of govern ment obligations wot expressly by law made payable in gold alone, such as silver certificates, pension war rants, military and naval pay rolls, civil vices lists,-ete A> to the plan of currency issue favor-d by me, I hold to the use of both gold and silver as the stand ard m>-ey of the country and to the coina_+ of both gold and _ silver with ut discrimination against eith er me al. avd further believe chat if the Pi stand Mr. Carlisle carry this out su sar as not to conflict with the Sherman law and fearlessly employ the use of gold and _ silver coin is all payments by the govern ment. the condition of the treasury | woul ! be relieved and times improve throughout the country. The basis of my conduct on all political meas- ures shall be the democratic plat- form of 1892, upon which the presi- dent and all the democratic con- gressmen were elected. It will be the duty of the present congress to keep inviolate pledge of the democratic platform, and in the dis charge of thi red trust anticipate and demand the support of the ad ministration Cuartes H. Morgay. All of the Missouri congresmen hold similar views to those express ed above with the exceptions of those from St Louis and they fayor an unconditional repeal of the Sher- law. Most of the expressions from eastern congressmen favor uncondi tional repeal. < Nine Millions For Sugar Bounty Washington, D. C., June 17.— Commissioner Miller has prepared a statement which shows that the total sugar bounty for the fiscal year end- ing June 30 will be $9,403,989. The amount actually paid is as follows: On eane sugar, $8, 607,994; on beet sugar $531.36 n sorgum sugar, $19,817; cn maple sugar, $60,119 to tal $9,309,293.

It is almost universally conceded that the wide tire is better than the narrow for general - The ‘heavy self-binder roug’ the fields when the that | same would mire down.

It is not unfrequently the case that teams and hands are idle in the spring, when with broad tires the manure could hauled out, | summer wood brought up, and n uch jother work done.

The otber class |contends that where the tire is suf ficiently wide, the whee! wiil roll on top of the ground and will not gath er mud. The way to settle the ques tion is to testit by experiment. How often it 1s the case in the spring of the year that itis mext to impossi- ble to get a wagon to town or to mill. If the roads were graded and well drained, and nothing but wide tires were in use on the roads, there would be no deep ruts such as char- acterize the roads of today. The | wide tires would keep the roads rolled down, and there being no ruts tu hold the water the roads would stay solider and there would be no chance for the wagon wheels to load up with mud as they do when the wheels sink several inches into the ground instead of rolling on top. We would like to hear from our readers who have had experience with wide tires Test the matter on the soft roads and see if the wide wheel loads up badly with mud The New Missourt Bushel.
