The national bank of Kansas City, closed during the panic, opened for business Monday. The creamery at Marshall valued at $4,000, was destroyed by fire the other day. The magnificent floats used in the Priest of Pallas parade at Kansas City, were taken to Chicago for ex hibition. City boards of trade do not speak for the farming community, and sen ators Vest and Cockrell are aware of this fact. It is always better to settle difter- ences in our own party than get mad because all don’t see as we do and run off after false gods. The papers say Neal, the demo- cratic candidate for governor of Ohio, is making a noble fight, and his chances of election are good. H. W. Curry, ussistant prorecut- ing attorney of Jasper county has had Jesse Cook, editor of the Webb City Register arrested for criminal libel. Senator Cockrell took the floor Monday and began a speech defend- ing silver. Evidently this speech is tobe the effort of his life in the halls of congress’ The Mis- souri representatives are standing firm for the white metal. The ministers at Tocoma, Wash- ington, are on a strike says an ex- change. They won't conduct funer- als at the grave, but will do so only atthe homes. This saves time, and the Tacoma ministers are rushed. The republicans ofthe Tenth Kan- sas district, made no nomination for circuit judge, and will support Judge John T. Burris, the democrat- ic nominee over the populist nomi- nation. E. W. Sinclair, secretary of the east St. Louis jockey club, was held up in his office in the Globe-Demo- crat building Saturday and robbed of $785.55. The thief after a long chase was captured, and proved to be Frederick Haddock, a railroad en- gineer out of a job. Suppose Van Allen did contribute ‘350,000 to the national campaign fund and that he was appointed em bassador to Italy. What of it? Pious John Waramaker contributed $200, 000 to the national republican cam- paign fund and Mr. Harrison pre- sented him with a cabinet position, didn’t he? Mr. Ingalls says the next repub- lican candidate to be successful should be selected not for what he is, but for what the people think he is. That policy kept Mr. Ingalls in the senate a long time, but when the people learned that he was not what they believed him to be they made him what he is.—Republic. ‘Governor Tillman in his St. Louis sapeech had a foundation of facts and built up his arguments of sophistry. Because all members of the demo- cratic party from the different sec- tions, do not see as he does, he would disrupt the party and form a new one, not based upon principles for the best interests of the whole union, but he would draw sectional lines and array one section against another. This cannot possibly be done and continue as 34 dissoluble states with different and diversified interests united. Governor Tillman’s ideas were attempted to be enforced in 1860, and the same result would inevitably follow from an effort to sectionalize this country. The gov- ernor is a very strong man and the sectional cry, always dangerous, is especially a dangerous weapon in hands such as his. U.S. senator and a millionaire, has his old days he is penniless. The ed his every talent and ambition on fraud and he lost.” his plans there will be a continuous session of the senate dating from yesterday until the bill repealing the Sherman act is settled one way or the other. The friends of repeal are confident that a quorum can be mai-tained uatil a vote is forced while the silver adyocates are equal ly confident that they can prevent a compromise. Physical endurance can not last long and it is only a question of a very short time when the matter will be settled one way or the other. The St. Clair county bank at Osce- ola, closed up shop one day last week. Its liabilities were $225,000 available assets $16,000. It was the depository for the county funds, and all the school funds, amounting to over $6,000 are unavailable for immediate use. There must have been bad management on the part of the bank officers. Mr. Landes has been cashier of this bank for 22 years Of the one hundred and fourteen counties in the state in point of wealth and population Bates ranks as the eleventh county. The soil of this county is black and very rich, and grows all the small grain in abundance, wheat, corn, rye, oats, flax, ete ; small fruits and berries of all kinds also do well’ when seasona ble Land ranges iu prices from $20 10 $40 per acre according to improvements. Coal land, of which this is the leading county in the state, ranges much higher. The man who desires a location in the west and wishes to engage in farming cannot find a better home than Bates county. Taxes are light, a school house dots every 16th section,we are well supplied with churches Our citizenship is of the very best, and the laws of the land are du!y ob- served. Soif you are thinking of changing location come to Bates; you can’t do better in the state of Missouri. The republicans are not making any democratic converts to their plan to pospone the action on the bill to repeal the federal election laws. Now is the time for the dem- ocrats to act as there 1s no telling what will happen in the future. Fvery vestige of law authorizing United States deputy marshals to iu terfere with elections should be re- moved without unnecessary delay. The people are able to manage their elections without the aid of the fed- eral government. While it is true that the republicans deserve a dose of their own medicire and the demo- crats are in a position to force them to take it yet the law is sorepugnant that it ought not to remain in force aday longer than what timé was necessary to occomplish its repeal.— Jeff. City Tribune. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is laboring hard to prove that Senators Vest and Cockrell do not represent the sentiment of the people of the state. The facts are, that the Post- Dispatch does not know the senti- ment of the people, and is trying to find out what itis by sending out reporters to interview the people. That is not necessary; look at the returns from last election. Look at the record of our congressmen; they were pledged to the people: their views were well known and it was on account of their views, so freely expressed, that they were elected. Senators Vest and Cockrell are per- fectly familiar with the sentiments of the people of this state-—Lamar Democrat. Rewards For Law-Breakers. Gov. Stone to-day offered a reward of $200 for the arrest and delivery of Oliver Hernor to the sheriff of Clinton county. Hernor is under sentence of five years for burglary and escaped from the Clinton jail in September. The Governor also offered a re ward of $800 for the arrest and con- viction of the unknown parties who misplaced the switch at Lyman’s Switch on the St. Louis and San Francisco railway causing the death of an engineer and fireman.

We thank them in the name of American liberty, and we hold in undyicg coutempt those who seek to betray us and make this country a financial dependency on Great Britain. The report was unanimous ly adopted.

The total number now pend ing is 16,800—an increase of 2,299 over the number July 1, the begin ning of the present fiscal year. At that time the number of special ex aminers in the field was 160 and the number has now been increased to 219. The work of investigating pension cases is steadily increasing. This is due to the fact that each year the claims become more difficult to e - tablish because of the death of wit nesses or failure to recall faets or uncertaiaty about them. The number of field examiners has been greatly reduced during the past four years. At the beginning of the fiscal year i889 the number | was 254, in 1890, 230: 1891, 198; in 1892 114; 1893, 129; 1894160. Du.) ring this period the number of cases | for special investigation July 1 of each year, was as follows; 1889, 15- | 506 cases and $415,000; 1890, 10,534 | cases aud $415,000 appropriation, | 1891, 3,517 cases and 415.000 appro priation; 1892 5,967 cases and $215, 000 appropriation and 1893, 14,515 cases and $225,000 appropriation The present appropaiation is qeliev- | to be utterly inadequate for the; work of disposing of the great vol | ume of pending cases | | Murderous Assault. \ Topeka, Kav.

It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, 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 o! fered.
