Provisions were included in the pension bills regulating the jfees and methods of examining boards.

Troes.- ter knocked Huston down and the wagon struck a rock which threw Troester out, slightly wounding him. Huston got up and drove on, escap ing into the country bleeding from his wounds. few Huston has been a desperate char- jacter. He cut his wife's throat at one time in Kansas City, shot and wounded his father in Macon several years ago and disarmed Sheriff Lyda, after being arrested for another crime in 1889, and escaped for parts unknown for some time. The repair shops opened to-day at Pullman with 150 additional men at work. This increase makes the force now employed number 800 in all, and itis expected by the company that by to-morrow there will be at least 1.600 men at work. Cleveland Indorsed. Warrensburg, Mo, August 3.— The following telegram has been sent from this place to President Cleveland, aud, coming as it does from the home of Senator Coekrell, it is significent, as the people here have never differed from him on any former occasion: “To President Cleveland: We. the business men and democrats of Jobuson county, Mo, heartily in- dorse your course in writing as you did to Chairman Wilson. The peo- ple are with you in your heroic ef- forts to save the country from ruio and the d-mocratic party from dis- grace. The dispateh is signed by about 100 persons, and evidently reflects the true sentiment of the democracy of this part of the state.
