The World's fair management bow to religious demaads and hereafter will close the fair on the Sabbath day. Charlie Mitcheil will now have to find some excuse for not fighting Corbett. Corbett has signed articles to fight at Coney Island, the winner to take all the purse. The Kentucky legislature which adjourned afew days ago, was in session 531 days and about the best thing it accomplished was to limit suture sessions to sixty days. ‘The work of reform in the admin istration of the government still gces on. The Interior department has decided to abolish twenty land of- fices by consolidating them with other offices. The World's Fair management has come to the conclusion that Sun- day opening is a failure, and the dic- tum has gone forth that there will be no more show on the Sabbath day. Just now it is a tussel between the bank president and the Starr gang as to which is the biggest ras- cal. The law, however, is taking a hand and the robbers are being brought to justice. Reports from every source indicate that the corn-cob pipe industry of Missouri will not be handicapped for want cf raw material this year. If we can't eat white bread we can take a hoe cake and smoke. Even more hopeful. This good piece of news comes from New York in regard to the financial outlook. The west is thankful for the infor- mation, but would rather feel the substantial results than live in hope. Many of the citizens of Jackson county‘are not pleased with the county covrt,s action removing the .counties insane patients from the asylums at Nevada and St. Joe, to the county poor farm, and a protest is being raised. The Chicago people and World’s fair management are doing the hand- some thing toward the families of the brave firemen who lost their lives in extinguishing the fire ocea- sioned by the burning of the cold storage house at the fair. The county court of St. Clair county has ordered an election to be held August 19, when tke propo- sition to compromise the bonded indebtedness of the ccunty which amounts to $900,000, will be sub- mitted toa vote. The proposition is on a basis of 50c on the dollar. Asa rule the pension boards throughout the country are more to blame than the pensioner for the al- lowance of thousands of fraudulent claims. These boards are composed of physicians and they are not ignor- ant of the merits of the man asking _ |doing. This NO CAUSE FOR M It is pretty in this age tl coguized ment is avery un criterion. In times of u become wi © excitement people their heads and rush pell mell into action that a ought to reasoning Cr ashamed of moments the f jrun on the National Bank of Kansas | City, one of the very strongest insti- jit was forced to temporarily close its doors. This Bank was murdered in cold blood. It plus far in excess of that prescribed by law and and business had taught was sufficient on which to do a safe, conservative business. It presented in its unequal ov hand a sur- a magnficent spectac fight for life by two and one-half as many months toa mob of unrea- soning beings who took that vast yaying out over yng million dollars in amount of money from the channels of trade and stowed it away where it could do no one auy goed = This bank had assets of over two dollars to one of its liabilities, yet the de- positors would not let them realize on their securities. Now who is hurt worse, while the bank has its large business swept away, the de- positors have their money tied up and it will be some time before they can get it. Almost any bank in the country could be forced to close its doors if all of its depositors should demand their money at one time. Banks are not organized and operated to hoard the money which come to them, but rather to keep it in circulation. If a bank should keep on hand its cap- ital and the money of its depositors it would never have any money to loan, would be profitless to its stockholders, valueless to the public, and consequently there would be no banks. Without these institutions of exchange and convenience what would the general public do? What would be the condition of the farm- er who has a few hundred dollars for which he has no immediate use, if he could not bring it to town and place it behind steel doors and time locks. We in the west are a borrowivg class and when iu need of a few do'- lars to conduct our legitimate busi- ness we naturally turn to these insti- tutions. As a tule the banks of this country are backed by men of means, are solvent institutions and command the respect and confidence of the general public, and itis only in times of great financial disturbances like the past few months, when people lose their heads that banks injured and foreed to are close their doors in order to protect themselves | against the sudden aud unexpected demands of excited creditors. Carefat Pension Reform. Washington, July 13.—Commis sioner of pensions Lochren said yes- terday that the pension bureau was not dropping the names of any pen sioners from the rolls simply because the proof of their right to draw a pension was deemed insufiicient. If in the opinion of the board of revi- sion a pension has been improperly grauted the person was notified and given sixty days to file additional proof of the justice of his claims. government aid. If the miners of Missouri who have no grievance and are making good wages, listen to the walking ‘delegate and heed his appeals to strike, and thereby get in the same ‘starving condition as the Kansas aniner is at present, then they should ask no sympathy ofthe public. They should not allow this sympathy dodge to warp their judgment and deplete their pocket-books, to assist or punish auybody. Acall fora mass meetirg of the democrats of the county has been called to meet at Macon, Mo., Sat- urday, July 29th, for the purpose of considering the silver question and to instruct the Missouri repre- sentatives in congress on the subject. It is anticipated the meeting will be This explained why there had been apparently so small a number of pensioners dropped. The boerd of revision, while it had been in erist- ence for five or six weeks, began active and constant work about a week ago, and not until September would removals be svufficiently nu- merous, in the opinion of the com- missioner, to deserve special atten- tion. By that time the work of cleaiing the list of illegal pensioners would be in full swing. Mr. Shaw, chief of the finance dc- partment, is authority for the state- ment that while the removals have simply been for causes obtaining in the disposition of such cases in the years past, the moment a man comes under investigation payment of his pension was suspended and remain- ed so until he should file the addi- experience | largely attended.

The expenses of the special ex amination division for the months of May and June last, in the investiga- tion of prima facie merit claims and other matters pertaining to the work of the division, amounted to $86,- 859, leaving a net saving to the Government of $113,384. To this amount may be added $3,504, which was recovered in cash by special ex aminers and covered into the Treas- ury. making the total net savings to the Government of $116,888. Bandits ina Kansas Town. Coffeyville, Kas., July 13.—The Bank of Mound Valley, owned by C. M. Condon of Oswego, was robbed 12:30 o'clock to day by three men who :vde into town, and, entering the bauk, tied and gagged the cash- ier, J. O. Wilson, and secured the money in sight, which amounted to $600. Befure Mr. Wilson could give the alarm the rubbers had made their escape and were on their way to the territory, twenty miles south. As soon as the news was received here several posses started out to in tercet them and as they passed two miles east of Angola at 1:30 it is possible they will succeed. Mound Valley is a little town of about 1,000 peop!e eighteen miles northeast of here in Labette connty at the cross ivg of the Frise» and Katy railroads. This was the only bank in the town. Its capital stock is $15,000, but on account of its proximity to Oswego but little money is kept in the bank in town. The robbers were white men and young. No one from Mound Valley isin pursuit, but the country be tween here and Edna is aroused aud their capture is probable above Neath of Captain Maloney of the Penitentiary Staff.

He came to the penitentiary from the St. Louis dectective force in 1876 and has been in charge of the night guard for the past fifteen years without a break or searcely a day’s vacation in all that time.

Wili Not Vote ForRepeal. Little Rock, Ark., July 17—Not withstanding the fact that all the leading cou mercial organizations of Arkansas have declared in favor of the unconditional repeal of the Sher- man law, the delegation in Congress from Arkar as will, with possibly One exception, vote agaiust its re- peal.

Two hours later when on the train en route to St. Louis, he said he would not vote for the repeal It is well known views. The one exception is Con gressman W. L.

Wagner of Kansas City, vice president; Robert Rutledge of St. Louis, secretary, and William Ran- dolph of St. Louis, treasurer. his death leaves a vacancy at the penitentiary which it will be difficult to fill.

Can't Save Him. Fort Smith, Ark., July 15—Henry Starr, the bank robber, train robber and general desperado, arrived to day and was met by 500 people who bad a morbid curiosity to see bim. Deputy Marshals A. W. Brown of Denver and W. C. Smith of this city who brought Starr safely through, report a similar curiosity all through Kansas, and despite their best efiorts every station was notified of their missioner to the Columbian exposi- tion, arrived here today to consult with Prof. Suow of the atate univer- sity on his chinch bug experiments. Prof. Williams is a delegate of the Russian department of agriculture and is a professcr in the agricultu- ral academy at Moscow. coming and met them with large crowds. At Rogers the party was met by the officials of the Bentonville Bank who identified both Starr and Wilson as participants in the Bentonville robbery.
