TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weexty Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.00, The following is a bit of “mighty interesting history.” It comes in good season, now that the “boom ison. It’s the chronology of the tariff: Paste it in your scrap book. 1890—McKinley bill enacted. 1891—Panie. 1892—Panic. 1893—Panic. 1894— Wilson bill passed. 1895—Mills opening. Wages re- stored. Call For Democratic Convention. Pursant to instructions from the central committee the Democrats of the several townships are hereby requested to meet at their respective voting places Saturday July 27th and select delegates to a county convention to be held at Butler, Sat- urday August 3rd, 1895, which con- vention will elect a set of delegates to attend the State Monetary Con- vention to be held at Pertle Springs, Warrensburg, August 6th, 1895. Representation for townships will be same as heretofore. 'T. K. Listx, Chairman. At the recent conventions in Mis- sissippi every county in the state went for free silver. ‘Texas follow- ed suit. At the democratic primaries in Boone county last week, out of a vete of 1,200 but 14 votes were cast against free silver nominees. It is said an alfalfa field in Linn county, Mo., showed a growth of twenty-four inches in twenty days after it had been cut. For pasturage this grass can’t be beat. It is said Chicago is reaching out after Missouri’s trade more actively than ever before. Missouri has two prosperious cities, Kansas City and St. Louis, and they must not be neglected by our citizens for an Illinois town. Missourians should stand by Missouri, first, last and all the time. The dispatches say Senator Black- burn has already secured three- fourths of the democratic nominees fer the legislature in Kentuoky which will elect » U.S. Senator. If this be the case Blackburn will be his @wn successor, in case the demo- oratic titket is successful, and there is little doubt of that fact. ee The bank of Archie, capital stock $10,000, failed to pass muster when examined by the state bank examin er, and the institution, by order of the secretary of State, passed into the hands of a receiver one day last week. The state examiners are do- ing good work. There is nothing more essential to a county than sound banks. At is reported that Dr. Laws, for many years president of the State University of this State, but lately president of a college somewhere in the south, has recently lost his mind. Dr. Laws was a man of great ability, ‘and massed a fortune but lost it all in the collapse of the Kansas City boom. The people of this State will be sorry to learn of the calamity which has befallen this learned man. When wages went down in steel business it was under the Wilson bill. This may convince some that the tariff does not give every work ingman a brussels carpet and a pi ano. Professor Harrison of Indiana used to have a theory of that sort. Perhaps he will revise it now. A good many other people are revising it at any rate.—New York World. There were cyclones in three states Saturday. Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. Several people were killed, It is given out as a fact that this few more years and Missouri will The notice of an increase of wages posted in all the cotton mills of | Lowell Friday was not intended as a free-trade document, but Ohio Napo- -|leons of Calamity will fell just as imuch insulted by it as if it were.— | New York World. J. Whitman, formerly a millionaire jtence for forgery iv the Superior however, for one week. The assertion of the secretary of the Republican National league that the republicans will endeavor in 1896 to carry Missouri, Kentucky, Ten- nesse and West Virginia, is proba- bly cerrect, but making assertions and doing the job is another thing. The Governor of Texas has issued a proclamation prohibiting prize fighting in any part of the state. This is sufficient to say that the brutal Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will not come offin Texas, and with all decent people estimation of the governor of that state has been raised. The barbarism of prize fight- ing must be stamped out. The state ho ral society will place Missouri fruits on exhibition at the St. Louis fair. As the crop in this county is very fine the society of this county should see that Bates is properly represented. Asan in ducement to home seekers a good exhibition of fruits at the fair would beat all the Missouri on Wheels en- terprises yet suggested. It is said that Mark Twain has lost all his fortune and is today bank- rupt. He has probaby made more meney than any American author of late years but in an evil hour he in- vested in a publishing house which lost money continuously. He is now getting eld and is troubled with gout and it is not likely that he will ever make another fortune.—Jeff. City Tribune. The socialists of St. Louis, have writter aletter to Governor Stone,to find out how he stands on the labor question.

The Senators chosen this year will participate in the election of a Senator of the United States to succeed John W. Daniel, Democrat. Why, it Won’t Wool. The suggestion of Senator Dubois that “the restoration of wool to the dutiable list is the thing in which the West is most interested,” and that this should be done likewise as a revenue measure, is received with euthusiasm by the New York Trib une. That journal reminds the Western Senator that wool duties cannot be restored without a restor- tion of the McKinley taxes on wool- len manufactures, and that this is likely to prove a difficult task. Not only difficult but impossible for two years to come, with the Sen ate coustituted as it will be and with President Cleveland in the White House. The attempt to increase revenue by raising the taxes on the clothing of the people will not be successful at present, if ever agair. There are economic as well as po- litical reasons for this. The short experience we have had with free wool has proved it to be for the ad vantage alike of the growers of wool, the manufactures and the people. We are getting more clothing, bet- ter clothing and cheaper clothing— with excellence and durability as the test. The price of domestic wool is advancing at the same time with need to ask such a silley question. If governor Stone is not a friend to the laboring classes then they have no friends in this state. His every act in and out of office has fully demon- strated this fact. Arthur Duestrow the millionaire St. Louis, wife and child murderer, is being tried at Union, Mo. The defense have set up insanity as an defense and the case promises to be one of the hardest fought trials ever known in the state. It has been more than a year now since Dues- trow killed his wife and baby and his attorneys have stoved the trial eff from one time to another on this and that pretext. The man who speaks flippantly of taking the life of a fellow being has a lesson to learn. Wm. W. Thorn- ton killed a fellow student named Handy while attending the Missouri University. He was acquitted of the murder but the spectre of his victim followed him through life and wrecked it. He has just killed him- self by taking morphine, dying on the steps of his old home at Shelby- ville, Illinois. Though onee wealthy he died in poverty.—Neyada Post. Autumn Elections. Baltimore Sun. Qn November 5 next, elections will ke held in twelve states as fol- lows: Towa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississip- pi, Nebraska, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and territory of Utah, which will by that time have about complied with all the conditions required of it to make it a state. also a lot of stock and houses, barns, fences and crops were level- ed to the ground and scattered over the country.

The canvass) 3 for theee offices probably drew very a ood Ss the wages of woollen mill operatives. This very practical object-les- son will not be lost on the people. The political shepherds of Ohio will not be able to “pull the wool over their eyes” again, especially as they remember that the price of wool de- clined 40 per cent. during the four years of McKinley law. The McKinley taxes of 44 per cent. on wools and 98 per cent. upon woollen good were among the most barbarous taxes ever imposed. They will not be re enacted.—New York World. Closed Its Doors. Salisbury, Mo., July 30.—Bank of Salisbury closed its doors this morning; Its condition is unknown. J. H. Fink was cashier and P. B. Branham, assistant. Kansas City Times. The news of the failure of the Bank of Salisbury Mo. yesterday was considerable of a surpise to many people in Kansas City. Major J. H. Fink, president of the bank is one of the best known man in the state and until recently was considered quite wealthy. The ex- act condition of the bank ceuld not be learned last night but it is under- tain. he was a candidate for collector of internal revenue for the Western stood to be unfortunate for Major Fink, who is said to owe the institu- tion $20,000. Whether the failure will involve others it is yet uwneer- MET DIVERS CONFESSES, EM and Murdered Mrs. Cain, St. Louis, Mo., July 30 —Emmet the colored man who was | brought here several days ago from | Hannibal, Mo., to escape lynching >| for the assault and murder of Mrs - W. Cain near Fulton last Tues- day, has confessed He said he jassaulted her and then cut her | throat eight times. Divers went jinto the bloody details of hisjcrime | | without any emotion, other than to | smile at times. He related the fol- lowing story: left home about » o'clock in ; the morning to look for work. I jreached the Cain bouse abeut an jhour later. The door was oper, | jand I walked in. The woman was pieces. I asked her if there was| | anybody there but her. She said no. | Iasked ber te give me the ring she| had on her finger. She said she did not want me to have it. I then started te take it away from her,| and got it off her finger. It drop-| ped to the floor. I then knocked | her down with my fist. She started te getup. Isaw a rope lying on a chair, and tied her right hand to | keep her from fighting me. I then put the rope around her neck, and drew it as tight as I could. She) kept trying to fight me, and I cut her throat,” It was only after persistent ques-| tioning that he confessed to having | assaulted his victim. Divers realizes that he has but a short time to liye, and desires to see his wife, and Sher- iff Windsor of Fulton. He fears death at the hands of a mob if taken back to Fulton, and requests that he be hanged in St. Louis jail. No more fiendish crime of the kind every occured in Missouri. The) victim of the negroe’s lust was a fine | looking young woman, only 18 years | ofage. She was married to J. W.| Caim, a prosperious young farmer living five miles from Fulten, Mo., | only last May. The negro entered the house when the young woman was alone, as related in his confes sion, felled her to the floor with his fist, tied her right hand and neck | with a rope, assaulted her, murdered | her and walked coolly away. News of tke tragedy reached Ful- ten at noon. Sheriff Windsor and his deputies and a posse were soon on a trail that led to the capture of Divers in the afternoon at a fatm house two miles from where the erime was committed. He was taken to Fulton immediately after his cap- ture, and was hurried out of there at night to avoid a mob and taken to Mexico, Mo From tnere he was transferred to other towns in suc- cession, and was finally brought to St. Louis.

Westmoreland, Kan., July 26.—At 11 o'lock last night four masked men took Rev. T. S. Rooks, the baptist minister of this place from his home five miles in the country and tarred and feathered him. They kicked him and beat him in a most brutal man- ner, and he-is lying at a farmer's house outside the town in « critical condition. Mrs Rooks went along with her husband and says she knows the white caps. She will swear out warrants for them to- morrow. Excitement over the affair runs high.
