Prof. B. F. Duncan, of Maryville, will go before the next state conven- tion as a candidate for school super intendent. Tf a tariff helps the farmer why is it the 25c duty per bushel put on wheat, by McKinley, has not kept the price of wheat up. Congressman Wilson, who is 89 journing in Mexico for his health, is reported to be improving rapidly from hia severe attack of typhoid fever. The democrats in the house can offer no reasonable excuse for laying up the Bland silver bill for two weeks, and then vote as they did on the passage ef the bill. The Chronicle says sixty-three murders were committed in St. Louis during the year 1893, and not one hanging took place. St. Louis, needs a law and order league. —_—_—_—— John C. Bender, a pension attorn ey at St. Joseph, has been arrested for receiving illegal fees for obtain “ing a pension, and Mrs. Cook is under arrest for perjury in securing the pension. Arthur Duestrow, the wealthy citizen of St Louis, who murdered his wife and little child a short time ago has made two unsuccessful at tempts to commit suicide in the jail. Every majority adverse to silver has been composed chiefly of Repub- licans. In every majority favorable €o silver Democrats have largely had the preponderance of members. Republican friendliness of silver consists always and only of seeking its fifth rib in order to stab it. en Charles Salyards was hanged at ‘Carlisle, Pennsylvania, March 1st, for murdering Geo. Martin a police officer, who attempted to arrest him. -Salyard was born and raised near Winchester, Virginia, and was the son of a minister. He had served several terms in the penitentiary and attempted to cheat the hangman by drinking a mixture of match heads and vinegar. The treasurer's statement, lately made, shows a million of dollars in the state treasury. No democrat in Missouri should desert his colors on -account of the management of affairs ‘of this state. The state will soon ‘be out of debt unless we meet with some unfavorable loss, now unex- pected. The republicans have quit standing up for Missouri; they have found it wholly unnecessary, after the democrats took charge of state quota for congressmen. | Globe-Democrat. j Perhaps no newspaper in the coun try gets in better licks against the, | Republican party than the St. Louis! Last Monday it) tariff bill to the full finance commit- said: “The sugar trust, which is appeal- ing to Congress that it will be ruined \if the duty be removed from refined | sugar, made, as a consequence of the duty, a profit of sevem per cent on one sort of stock last year and 12 per | cent on auotber, which is equivalent to 25 or 30 on the actual investment. This is a pretty good gain for a pan ic period, and the 65,000,000 people of the country were heavily assessed to contribute it. Tke refined sugar duty must go.” But every Republican in Congress voted against making the sugar go. Toe Republicans not ouly made the tax one-half cent a pound, but voted to keep it at that rate.—Clintou Democrat. Barboursville, Ky., March 2.—It is reported from Harlan county that Len Tye, a negro, murdered Miss annual distribution of seeds by the department of agriculture in response to personal applications, has been discontinued for the present season and hereafter distribution, will be made at the direction of the con- gressmen who still have certain quantities to their account. The de- partment this year provided for more than nine millon packages of eed, two-thirds of which were the Bryant, near Williamsburg, about a year ago, has recently visited Har- lan county, where he kidnaped a farmer's daughter and kept her secreted in the woods for some time, until a party of hunters found her. They waited for his return, when they caught and tied him and pro- ceeded to skin him alive, and before he was dead the girl built a fire on his head and he was roasted alive. It is said he confessed the murder of Miss Bryant, and that he had takeu three other victims in Ken tucky and Tennesse and kept them in the same manuer he had the Har lan county girl, where they had died for want of shelter and protection. The fact should be remembered that the Harrison administration re- ceived the government from Demo- cratic hands with a surplus of $185,- 829,190. This was squandered as a pretext for passing the McKinley act. Squandered how? By buying in $75,828,000 of bonds, most of them not due till 1907, and paying $12,000,000 in interest and $10,000,- 000 in premiums; by refunding $14,- 000,000 of direct taxes to the Statee; by increasing the annual pension ex penditures over $60,000,000; by re- ducing the internal revenue on to- bacco and doing away with the sugar tariff, causing a shrinkage of govern ment receipts of over $150,000,000; and by paying out $170,000,000 on sugar bounties. Thus was the Cleve land surplus dissipated into thin air and a deficit of over $200,000 left as a legacy to the incoming Democratic administration. When any Repub lican cries “hard times” just quote these figures.—Clinton Democrat. _What the Cincinnati Enquirer says: Notwithstanding the high temperature there were two good audiences at Harris's theater, and everyene there was ready to vote that “Just Landed” was far better than even the advance notices had promised. Itis not a great melo- drama, it is not a blood curdling tragedy, but it is a musical farce comedy that has quite enough plot to put together a number of excel- lent specialties and dialect dialogues that take off in pungent style nation- al characteristics that always briog down the house. Our friend Fritz and his sister Lena, with the mem ber from Italy and his sister,togeth- er with the Irishman and the China- man, land at Castle Garden. After Con has fallen in love with Lena, and Fritz with the daughter of Italy the American (Perkins D. Fisher) makes things very lively for them at Castle Garden, but at the end of the month the Irishman is a policeman and the German has a flourishing beer garden. At the end of the next month the German is a justice of the peace and the Irishman a law- yer, with Fritz wishing to marry Manola and Con's heart set on Lena. With the American hall in love with both, and the Chinaman around at times, there is enough of a plot to make the incidents effective and up- roariously funny. The cast is a clever one. Missouri has a right to feel proud of her representation at Washington. Serators and Congressmen have done just as they pledged themselves They have worked early and late to bring about those things that ‘the people desired. They are nation- to do. ‘al characters, and their actions meet with hearty approval the west.—Lamar Demge throughout Hitl Delays Action. Washington, D. C., March 5.— Again the presentation of the the has been delayed through the dogged determination of some of the certain democratic senators to have it suit their particular ideas. It isa matter of current cumor to night that senator Hill has an agree ment with a dozen democratic sena- tors to delay all action on the tariff bill until the various concessions are granted. This story the New York senators denied, claiming that the effort to change the bill was individ- ual. Tammany hall is believed to be behind the opposition of Hill. Crok- er has fought the bill as it passed the House, so bitterly that its pas- sage in the present form, would be a rebuke to the New York machine aud once more the whole country is made to suffer because of the local necessities of the New York politi- cians. It must be admitted that the tariff outlook is not bright. The stand taken by the Louisiana Sena- tors and this disposition of the sub committee to conciliate them, has emboldened other senators to make a stand for local protection. Tributesto Mr. Cleveland. Savanah, Ga, Feb. 28 —At a din- ner given by Dr. C. W. White of the state university tv Hoke Smith Sec- retary of the Interior, the latter re- sponded to a toast in the course of which he paid the following high tribute to President Cleveland: I ad- mire his firmness I admire his truth- fulness. I would say to you nowI am more of a Cleveland man to day than I was last November one year ago when I cast my vote for Grover Cleveluud. There are many who say he shuuld do this, that or the other thing; while he should not do things he does. I tell many of these people they know not what they say, and these very people at the close of the next three years will realize their error, for then results wi!l show him to be our friend still and our Demo- cratic President. Nine Slain. The first two months of the year 1894 will go down on the criminal annals of St. Louis as the red letter period. Almost every murder com mited so far this year have been characterized by extreme ferocity on the part of the slayer. Nine persons met yiolent death’s ¢ince Jan. 1. One tragedy was a double one, while 1n two other cases three friends participated in the homicide. Seven red handed murderers are at large, menacing the lives of citi- zens, three are in jail and one is in the city hospital, guarded as he should be, and two are out on bond and one ended his own worthles existence. The Tariff Bill. Private telegrams received on Change Monday morning say: “Washington, D. C, March 5.— Senator MePherson says this morn- ing that none of the controverted points in the tariff have been settled beyond the point where revision is possible.” “New York, March 5.—J. Pier- pont Morgan and H. O. Havermeyer were in Washington yesterday and held several important conferences. Private advices from Washington bill goes to the senate before Friday if then.” Gladstone Retires.

Takes on the Form of a Cyclone In The South Part of the County and does Consid- erable Damage. House Demolished ana Inmates Suffer More or Less Injuries. The rainand hail storm of Sunday night was far more severe in this county than most people in this sec tion were aware. In the south part of the county the storm was very heavy and took on the form of a small sized cyclone and considerable damage was done to dwellings, fencing and hay ricke. From Dr. W.H Allen, of Rich Hill, who was in the city Monday, we learn that the fine residence of Marion Burris, in south of Sprague, was unroofed and otherwise damag ed, and the barn a short distance from the house, a large one, was al- most totally demolished. The wreck will die. So far as the dector knew the family of Mr. Burris escaped without injury. Of the storm in the immediate neighborhood of Rich Hill, the Review has this to say: “Jobn Dunn, Mr. Burris'son iu-law, age injured a fine horse so badly it), BENNETT-WHEELER MERC.

Harold Brown's house (in Vernon) one mile south, was unroofed and the porch blown down. Ed McCoy’s house, one mile and a half north of Burris’ (in Bates) was moved off the foundation Mr. Phegley’s house, near’ there, had a porch badly damaged. George Arnold’s house, one mile northeast of Burris’s was blown partly off its foundation. On Pryor Creek, west of Charley Falor’s, three houses were blown off their foundations, overturned. Some men driving towards Rich Hill had hard work to stay on top. Their horses were lifted almost bodi- ly off their feet and blown into a ditch near by. Charley Falor’s “feeders,” one of them 1,000 feet long, were blown down. A number of trees and much fencing in that neighborhood were blown down At Jas. K. DeJarnett’s place, 3 miles west of town, the storm struck an implement house aud ruined a cultivator, besides damaging the building It also destroyed a new corn crib, just built last fall, and tore up one bay stack auda straw stack. The storm missed the house about 30 or 40 yards, or, Mr. De Jarnett believes, it would bave de- molished that. while one was In Rich Hill the damage done was of minor importance. A flue and a part of the fire wall, as well us sone of the roofing on the Talmage“houre was dislocated.

The epitaph on many a tombstone is “heart failure.” No wonder, when we con- sider the immense strain which is put on that smallorgan. Marvelous as it is, beating 100,000 times and exerting a force equal to 5,184,000 pounds daily, it has its limit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So common are diseases of the heart—though often for a considerable time without the suspicions of the afflicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that one person in four has a bad heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., has for years made a special study of all diseases of the heart, and his remarkable success has made his name a familiar one in all parts of our land. He has found the most common symptoms of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender- ness in the chest, , stomach, bowels, icft shoulder and arm, shortness of breath, smother- ing spells, fainti Mr. George Heart Cure has worked wonderfull; peed ond body 80 Erodirfisk parched feel ten years younger ai in affaires I had shortness of tation, pain under left shoulder bl side.

From Dr. Boulware, who was call ed Monday morning to assist Drs Whipple and Donehoe, in dressing the severe wounds of the Jasper Smith family,we learn of the storm's work jn that neighborhood. The doctor said he found the Smith family all more or less injur Mr. Smith was suffering from a fracture of the upper and lower jaw bones, nose badly mashed, long and deep gash in top.of head and forehead and teeth’ loosened. Mrs. Smith had quite a gash cut in fore- head and was otherwise bruised Their little son was bruised about the face, but not seriously hurt. Their little daugbter was seriously burt about the head and the side of her face had the appearance of being burnt. She was unconscious when the doctor arrived and had not eome to herself when he left. Her case is preearious and the physictins had fears for her recovery. A young man stopping over night at the Smith home was not hurt. The house occupied bv the Smith family was a frame structure one and a half stories. The wind picked up the dwelling and set is down gain a few feet from its foundation. It was then taken up again lifted over arow of fence poste and carried ; ; about fifty yards anddrcpped. The roof was carried away and the sides | bene’ of the building careened. A part of the family bad retired to bed and all were carried with the house. The doctor said about half mile west of theSmith home, the house of Geo. Norris was blown to atoms not a plank of the structure being left Mr. Norris was carried about 75 yarde and landed against a hedge fence, but -escaped i i juries.
