Stone has the Kansas City Times on a regular rampage. There ie talk of an extra session of congress. The information is re- ported to have come from a member of the cabinet. so it said. W. A. Crawford, the Sedolia mer- chant who failed a short time ago, and who it was said had absconded, has returned and the slanderers of his good name are now hiding out for fear of a libel suit. The Kansas City Star has had a grudge against Gov. Stone ever since he so unmercifully beat its candi- date, Maj. Warner, for governor. Therefore, no importance is attached to this sheet’s attacks on the gover- nor. The Indiana legislature adjourned with a free for-all fight, in which almost every member took part, and blood flowed freely. One member kicked in the pit of the stomach will probably die. Such conduct on the part of legislators is most reprehen- sible. Gov. Stone, it seems in his ap- pointments in the state and especial- ly at Kansas City, made a serious mistake in not pulling off his hat to the editor ef the Kansas City Times. Had he allowed that gentleman to dictate appointments for him he could haye immortalized himself in the west end ot the state. Judge John F. Philips, defeated candidate for congress, might have given the governor some pointers along this line, bad he been so inclined. Judge DeArmond has returned home after the close of his second term in Congress. Heretofore he has acted with the majority party and took a stand among the fore- most statesmen of the day on all great questions that came before that body. His ability asa lawyer was recognized and he was given a place on the Judiciary Committee, one of the greatest compliments which can be bestowed on a lawyer in that body where there are so many rec- ognized great lawyers. It can be truthfully said of Judge DeArm. ond, and verified by any one who kas followed his course, that he has never in his vote, or his speeches on the floor of the House, or in Com- mittee work, violated a single pledge he made the people of his district on the stump or in private conversation. He has yoted and worked for his people and kept the faith he plight- ed. Cana representative do more? ‘When the people find a public ser- vant who keeps his pledges to the letter and is not always seeking ex- cuses for violating them, they are slow in turning him down. “he Times very much regrets to see the internal strife in the demo- cratic party intensified by the con- troversy between Governor Stone and the Kansas City Times. The Star dees not pretend to be a demo- cratic paper, and it severe strictures on a democratic official is not un- expected. But the K.C. Timesshould temper its criticism with moderation and fairness. We donot know any- thing of the merits or truth of either of their claims, and not having pub- lished the Truzs’ statement we will not publish the Governor's letter. We will add,however, that wehaven't any too many democratic voters in the state that we can afford to keep up 9 senseless war among the lead- ers, thereby disgusting the rank and file of the party voters. Together with factional fights, personal ambi- tions, and financial differences the democratic party is getting in a de- plorable condition. Democrats must get together, or surrender power to some other party. This is a fact patent to all, and the sooner the coming together the better it is go- ing to be. We will say to these journals and party leaders who are now using their position to further their own interest that a day of reck- oning will come for them inside the perty lines. CAPITAL, - .

These facts convey the information that the Russian wheat growers are waking up to the importance of cul- tivating their crops by the most im- | proved methods and at the least ex- pense. Ia other words, they are in the market as competitors for the trade, and the price of silver has nothing te do with the case. It is purely a matter of ability to furnish goods at the lowest price. While Russia adhered to the old methods of reaping and harvesting America had the avdantage which progress always affords. But that advantage no longer exists. These facts are referred to only for the purpose of directing the minds of the farmers, who are sen- sible thinking men, into the right channel. The silver question has nothing to do with the subject, and the political opinions of the admin- istration are equally unimportant. The price of wheat is regulated by the laws of supply and demand. and when American machinery is added to the advantages of Russian fertili- ty of soil in ucing wheat, cheap and in the prices must come down.—K.

His voice was heard by a number of democrats who were in the corridors and they ran to his assistance. An attempt was made to force open the doors, but the crowd of republicans who were bent on keeping the governor’s secretary out with his message, re- sisted with all the force they could command. The heavy oak doors were unabie to stand the pressure brought to bear upon them, and they were forced open. King, who was in front, was forced right into the crowd of republicans, who were bent on keeping him from reachiug the speaker. With one accord the men began striking at each other, | and the secretary was iu great dan- MEN FOUGHT LIKE TIGERS i “Kill him! Kill him!” cried a hun- dred voices.

Inch by inch the democrats gained ground. Many persons were knocked down and trampled under foot. Revolvers were flourished in the air, but as fast as one was drawn the man hold- ing it was knocked down. The heavy chairs were torn from the floor by the mob and desks were broken to pieces. Doors leading to other rooms were shattered by per- an entrance to the chamber. The police were powerless to check the | mob, which seemed bent on destroy- ing everything in the room At 11:57 the excitement was in- , tense; men were fighting in every part of the room and several of them were bleeding from numerous | wounds. The democrats were grad- ually forcing King toward the jcong | with annual compensation amount- ‘Pure Blood | torn from King’s hand by a man who dashed out of the crowd with it and made good his escape. This practically ended the riot. Several small fights occurred, but jthe police and others finally suc- ceeded in driving them from the chamber. No less that two dozen persons were hurt. No arrests were made. The trouble originated over jthe bill to supplant Custodian Grif- fin, a democrat, with a republican. The governor has three days in which to consider all measures. The bill was delivered to ihe governor |three nights ago. It was his scheme to hold it to the last minute, and then the legislature could not pass jit over his veto as it’s statute ad- |journment would take place at 12 joclock. The governor's secretary started with the bill within ten min- |utes time. The republicans attempt- ,ed by force to prevent his reaching the legislative halls with the bill in time.

C, March 9 — |Chairman Sayers of the house ap.| | Propriation con:mittee, has made a) |statement of the appropriations of | |the last congress. He presented | jin his statement tables showing ap | propriations of the three congresses | as follows: Fifty-first, $1,035,680,- | 109; fifty-second $1,027,104,527; | | fifty third, $990,338,691. Mr. Say-| lerss ‘The appropriations made by the third congress including | permanent appropriations, shows a reduction of $36,765,855, under the appropriations made by the fifty-see- ond congress and $45,361,418 under those made by the fifty-first con gress. Mr. Sayers, making a comparison | ast year, shows that there is a! increase of $5,877,320. “The| new publie buildings authorized in-} cluding one in Chicago to cost $4,-| 000,000, will not exceed in cost | $5,660,000, beyond the sums appro- | priated therefor, while the fifty-tirst | congress left to its successors more} than $8,000,000 to be appropriated | for public buildings which it author- ized.” The salaried list of the gov- ernment has been reduced by this s more than 600 persons, ing to quite $750,000, Al Todd Murdered. Unionville, Mo, March 10.—The} elopement about a year ago of Al) Todd, a negro, with the daughter of City Marshal William Clark (white) led to murder this morning. The, couple returned yesterday to the/ woman’s home to remain during her | confinement. Upon the promise that Todd would never again show himself, Clark told him to go as he did not want to give the case public- ity. Ata late hour last night, how- ever, Todd went to Clark’s house and called the latter up. Clark or-} dered him away, but instead of going he drew a revolver in a menacing, manner, when Clark shot him. He ran about a block and fell dead At the inquest held this morning the coroner's jury exonerated Clark. The voting contest conducted by the Springfield Democrat through the free silver ballots shows a healthy development of free silver sentiment in the southwest. Of 3,755 votes cast, 3,676 were for the free coinage of silver at the existing ratio and 75 against it, and io ad dition a few conditional votes —Ex. ee People should realize that the only true and rmanent cure for their condition is to be found in having Because the health of every organ and tissue of the body depends upon the purity of the blood.

Southwest City, Mo., March 9.— “Jim Cummins,” the train robber | who was wounded and captured at this place March 1, has impoved sufficiently to be able to be moved and taken by Sheriff Manlove of Lawrence County, to Mount Vernon, Mo, Where he will be given a trial for holding up train No. 1, on the Frisco, February 22. Before leaying on his trip to Mount Vernon, the young bandit made a statement in which he dis- closed his identity and gave a brief history of himself. He said his real name was Joshua Craft, was born at Briar, Tex., and would be 21 next June. He led the life of a cowboy in Tex. until last July,when he made the acqaintance of a man named Wilson at Paris, Tex.. and with him went to Claremore, I. T., where they worked for a time. After remaining in Claremore for a while, they made up their minds to go into the train robbing busi- ness. Their first hold up was on the Frisco Railroad, November 12, 1894, when they secured $2.50 and 30 watches. Their next hold-up was a Rock Island train in the Indian Ter- ritory November 23, 1894, receiving very little booty. On the 3lst of December, last, they held upatrain on the Queen and Crescent road near Livingstone, Ala., securing only $18. They held up and robbed a train on the Cotton Belt road near McNeil, Ark. January From McNeil they made their way across the State into Missouri, walking the entire distance, and on February 22 held up train No. 1, on the Frisco road near Aurora, Mo. On tke night of February 23 they entered the depot at Purdy, Mo., and secured $58 and a watch. The robbers were on their way to Texas when they were run into by the officers and the young robber captured. The other robber has not been captured yet. although a posse is still on his trail.

Lebo, a la- borer on a farm pear here, was ar- rested and lodged in jail this morn- ing charged with ussaulting his own daughter, a pretty girl of less than 10 years. Lebo has been a painter at Polo, in this county, where the crime is alleged to have been com- mitted recently He and his wife are divorced, and he is charged with repeatedly outragirg his little daug- ter, and when she made his fiendish acts known the physicians who ex- amined her found her suffering from a loathsome disease, claimed to have been communicated by her father. There is strong talk of lynching to-night, but sheriff Goldworthy has taken precautions to prevent it. Caught at a Crossing - St. Joseph, Mo., March 10.—At the crossing where Mallory and Mc- Bride were killed Thursday night. Mrs. Thomas Allen was killed out- right to-night, Gertie Allen, her 16- year-old daughter, dangerously wounded, and Martha Deacon, 11 years old, fatally injured. They were returning from church and drove upon the crossiag in time to be hit by the Missouri Pacific fast mail from the east. Mrs Allen's body was shockingly mutilated and she and her daughter were carried 300 feet on the engine pilot before it could be stopped. = KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to 's of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs.
