One Block North Post Office, Butler, Mo. TD. W. Drummona IS BLAND FOR GOVERNOR. Silver Dick Urged to Make the Race ia 1896. Washington, D. C., Nov. 26.— Congressman Bland is being urged to become a candidate for Governor of Missouri in 1896. Lively corre- spondence looking to this end is going on between Washingion and Missouri. It is deemed highly im- portant by Mr. Bland’s friends that he authorize an announcement of his intentions at once. Such action, it is argued, will give the apostle of free silver aclear field. The only other candidate likely to be before the Convention is Judge Gibson, of Kansas City. If Mr. Bland will con- sent to let it be known now that he is a candidate, his friends are assur- ing him that he will have to make no canvass previous to the nominat- ing Convention. If Mr. Bland delays, his friends fear the situation will be complicated by the appearance of Congressman Hatch and Congress man Fyan as candidates. At least one of the Missouri Senators is like- ly to look with favor upon the plan to bring out Mr. Bland at once, and to rally the party in Missouri with his personality on a free silver issue. This is not uot the first time Mr. Bland has beer urged to become a candidate for Governor. Up to the time of his defeat for Congress, he w ‘‘d not listen to it. Now it is claimed that he is giving the matter serious c.usideration. Pension igures Settled. Washington, D. ©., Noy. 23.—The sub-committee of the House commit tee on pensions met to day, and after listening for an hour to Commis sioner Lochten’s explanation of the requirements of his office, virtually decided to the report of a bill pro viding for appropriations recom mended by the commissioner in his estimate, heretofore furnished,except in the one item of fees for examining surgeons. The original estimate was that $1,000,000 would be required to pay these fees, but Mr. Lochren told the committee today he thought $800,000 would be suffici- ent, and that figure wat decided upon. The pension appropriations as decided upon by the sub committee, will, therefore, be: For pensions, $140,000,000; for surgeons’ fees, $800,000; for clerk hire at pension agencies, $150.000; miscellaneous, $131,570. Total, $141,381,570. Mr. Lochren stated to the commit- tee that be did not believe a smaller sum could be safely relied upon to meet the requirements of the service. He said the expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, had approximated $140,000,000 and he expressed the opinion that with no additional legislation, the figures would be about the same for the next two years. After that he thought there would be a gradual decline. The subcommittee will meet again on Monday, Dec. 3, but it is not probable that there will be any change in the decision reach- by the committee to-day. In case there is no change the bill will be reported to the full committee so as to get it promptly betore the House. Bank Closes Its Dvor. Grand Island, Neb., Nov. 27.— The Security National bank closed its doors at 11 o'clock today. It is held on good authority not to be so much of a failure as a disagreement between the officers of the bank. It has a capital stock of $200,000. The deposits are as low as $50,000, of which $20,000 are couoty funds. United . States . Senator George G. Vest of Missouri, who is largely in- terested, has arrived and a directors meeting is now being held. A S. Vest is cashier. H. W. Palmer, county treasurer, is president. It is altogether unlikely that depositors will sustain any loss. ; capa H Destitation in Nebraska. | Omaha, Neb, Nov, 25 —The des titution in those western Nebraska counties devastated by the drouth is | | growing daily, notwithstanding ef \forts to aid the suffering farmers The following appeal was issued by ! Mayor Bemis, of Omaha today: “Information bas come to me with- lin the past few days from the most |reliable sources—from geutlemen of ‘integrity who speak from actua! ob- | servation—that the suffering jamor g} | oe | t,e farmers in the drouth stricken | districts of our State is exceeding- ily severe. Familes are on the verge | x | of starvation; mothers have nothing have no clothing for themselves, ex- }cept dresses made from gunny sack- ing; underwear and shose are almost unknown, and fuel is a luxury only to be dreamed of. A clergyman, in forms me that he bag partaken of meals among these farmers where the greens of potato tops and moldy bread constituted the only food. I am fully aware that there is a great deal of suffering among our own people, but I believe that our citi- zens should make a special effort to extend all possible assistance to the suffers in our State outside the city. It would be a fitting manner of giv- ing thanks for the blessiugs we bave received for ovr citizens to con- tribute towards relieving sufferings of these people. What is needed is clothing of all kinds and descrip- tions, and food of all sorts.” An appeal has also beeu issued by the Grand Army of tke Republic of Nebraska for contributious to re- lieve destitution among old soldiers in the western part of the State. waResuit of a Cattle Deal. Flemingsburg, Ky., Nov. 28. John Jones, a well-known cattle dealer, claiming to hail from Cincin- nati, is in jail here on the charge of obtaining money under false pre- tenses. Jones has swindled the farmers in this county out of $12,000 to $15,000. The game he worked was a shrewd one Several weeks ago he came here and bought up all the cattle on the market. He gave good prices, and succeeded in pur- chasing $15,000 worth In payment he gave his check, dated thirty days ahead. After the cattle were deliv- ered to him, Jones would put them on the cars and ship them to Cincin- nati. Once there he soon found buyers, aud pocketed the money. Today the check drawn by Jones became due. When the farmers began to present them at the Ex- change Bank, of this city, they were told that Jones had no money to his credit, and that he had defrauded the bank out of $800. A warrant was at once sworn out for Jones’ arrest. He was located on a farm near town and arrested. Jones re- fuses to teil what became of the money he sold the cattle for, and swears that he will kill any man who says that he has been guilty of any- thing criminal.

Nov. 29.—A. W. Little, who has been on trial for his life in the District court of this county since the 12th of this month for the killing of Lawyer B. E. Jobn- son in Kansas City, Kao,, July 18, 1883, was found not guilty by the jury at 9 o'clock this morning, where upon Judge Burris at once said: “Mr. Little, you are discharged.” Mr. Little was firmly awaiting the verdict, surrounded by his wife and three children, with Judge Little, his brother, ef Kentucky near by. No sooner had the words “not guil- ty” fallen from the lips of the clerk than Mrs. Little threw her around her husband and, and with her children cried for joy. At his home, 630 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kan.,last even- ing, Little told ;a Times reporter that he would resume at once the practice of law in Armourdale. There were no demodstrations of enthusiasm in Kansas City, Kan, over the result of the trial. The verdict, however was not surprising to those who had watched the case. Lucias’P.
