TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: ‘The Waexry Times, published every Thursday, will be sent to any address ene year, postage paid, for $1.00, President Cleveland and party ave returned from their duck shoot ing. They had a pleasant time. Ex congressman Amos Townsend of Cleveland Ohio, died at St. Au gustine, Florida, Monday. He had gone there for his health. The vote for choice for president in 1896 in the Massachusetts legis lature resulted, McKinley 32, Reed 120. Reed has said there will be no more tinkering with the tariff, Mc- Kinley says there will be. In its unceasing and never tiring fight for the removal of the state capital the people of Sedalia owe J. Went Goodwin and his Bazoo a debt of gratitude they can never pay. Tbe merchants of that town should stand by the paper to a man. Prosident Cleveland was 58 years of age Monday. There was no special services at the white house over the occasion and the president remained at his desk all day. He received a number of congratulatory telegrams from his friends, while others sent baskets of flowers. The Kansas City National Bank has voluntarily closed its doors to go into liquidation. The bank was crippled in the panic and ite last published statement not being satis- factory to its customers,the deposits of the institution began to grow less and it was decided to quit business by the officers. Statues of Frank P. Blairand Thoa. H. Benton, two of Missouri's most prominent and illustrious statesmen, will grace a place is the hall of the United States of representatives at Washington. The legislature has appropriated $12,000 for making and putting in place the statues, and it is a fitting tribute to the memory of these great men. The appropriations offered by the house to the state university, nor- mal schools, asylums, penitentiary and other state charitable institu- tions, whioh were too small for their maintainance have been increased by the senate. The house appropria- tions, if allowed to stand, in several instances would not have paid the actual and legitimate running ex- penses of these institutions. Taking the bounty from the sugar planters has not killed the industry in New Orleans it seems, as the dispatches announce that the plant- ers have perfected plans to erect a large refinery in opposition to the trust in New Orleans. One thing - sertain, removing the bounty bas not imereased the cost as predicted, as sugar is now selling in Butler cheap- -er than ever before known. The McKinley bill at best gave us 16 to ‘i7 pounds for the dollar, and the new tariff gives us 22, 23 and 24 pounds. = The resolution offered in the Sen- ate last week to locate the capital in St. Louis,made a sorry showing when a vote was reached, only two sena- tors voting for the proposition. The argument was made that it would be bad policy to submit two capital removal resolutions as the people would become confused. This was a wise conclusion as the people much prefer to vote on one propo- sition at atime. Again. if the capi- tal is to be moved, Sedalia is the most convenient and preferable place of the two. N. L. Livingston is the populist candidate for county school commis sioner. This is not the Livingston that explored Africa, neither will he discover the office of school commis- sioner. The man that fills this office should and must have experience in school work, and thedemocrats have named the man that fills the bill, andhis name is Thurman. The county has tried him for two years with the utmost eatisfaction to teachers and tha peblic in general, and a change is not desirable. ‘Thur- man is the man. ; | OF BUTLER, MO. \;OAPITAL, - «© - = > Missouri State Bank Transacts a general banking business.

CAPTAIN CROSSMAN'S STATEMENT New York, March 15.—Captein Crossman of the Alliance mailed the} following affidavit last night to See retary of State Gresham at Washing- ton: Steamship Allianea, New York, | March 14—The American steam-! ship Allianca of the Cojumbian line, running between the ports of New York, United States of America, and circle it has been understood that the employment of John W. Foster as adviser to the Chinese Govern- {ment in the peace negotiations had an immediate relation to this ques- tion of the metals in the settlement of indemnity. Mr. Foster's special business is to use all of the influence he can for the acceptance of silver money by the Japanese. If he suc- ceeds it will bea big thing for silver. Those who watch the markets know that silver has been climbing ever since Mr. Foster started for Japan. It was 62c to-day. No class is watch- ing the progress of negotiations closer than the silver men.

Russell, second officer, was officer of the deck, at his station on the bridge. Mr. Russell reported to me that there was a steamship under the land to the westward steaming to the eastward. From the bridge,with the aid of my glasses, I made her out to be # barkentine rigged steam- er, and shortly decided she was a war vessel.

I assumed that as I was en the high sea, I did not intend to stop, so he could fire away,which he did—another blank shot,about three or four minutes after the first, and shortly at intervals of a few minutes three more guns with solid shot wore fired at us. All fell short—two off the port quarter and the last astern of the starboard quarter,strik- ing the water about a quarter of a mile distant. I omitted to state that on looking at the Spaniard after hearing the first gun I found that he had altered his course again. He was heading directly for us and was steaming with his best speed. I judge that we were steaming faster than he,so I did not give any orders four wiles, owing to the fact that I had read in the Panama vewspapers that there was trouble on in Cuba, and that a Spanish gun boat was — += | to increase our speed.

San Antonio, Tex, March 10.— There is mucb excitement among the ranchmen and cow- boys living in the section below the Alpine, in the mountains of west Texas, over the appearance of a wild man, who visits their homes and jcamps during their absence and creates gesieral havoc. This strange person ie entirely nude. and flees over the precipitous cliff like a moun- tain goat when approached by any one. J. M.
