Nothing Succeeds Like Succese. The success of the Speer N. J. Wine Co., in producing an extra quality of Grape Brandy is marvel ous. They rely alone on the grape for body and flavor, and hence there isa wide and growing demand for this Brandy which rivals the old brands of Cognac, France. Nothing 1s finer or richer than Speer’s Old Climax Brandy and his Old Port, five to fifteen years old. For table use their Clarets, Sau- ternes, Burgandies and P. J. Sherry are unsurpassed. For the sick room, hospital and Sacramental purposes their Unfermented Grape Juice is recommended and used by both physicians and divines. Sold by druggists. Details of the Massacre. London, Aug. 4—A Shanghai dis patch to the Times gays the mission and sanitariam at Wha Sang, near Ku Cheng, province of Fokein, has | been attacked, and the British pub- jects killed. The Rev. Mr. Stewart, | wife and cbild, were burned in their | house. The Misses Yellow andj Marshall, two sisters named Saun- ders and two sisters named Gordon and Stettie Newcombe were mur-| dered with spears and swords. Miss | Cordington was seriously wounded about the head, and Stewart's eldest | child had a knee cap badly injured, while the youngest had an eye gouged out. The Rev. Mr. Phillipe, | with two Americans, Dr. Gregory and Miss Hartford, were both wounded, but arrived safely at Fu Chau Fu. The prefect of Cheng Fu, who was on the inquiry commis- sion, is seriously implicated in the Cheng Fu outrages. Another Fu Chau telegram re-| ceived here ssys that all the mur- dered women belonged to the church of England Zenana mission. Miss Hartford was fearfully injured and bears evidence of the fearful treat- ment and cruelty she received at the hands of the mob. Several En- glish and American children have been killed. The massacre commenced early on Cheng. The houses were fired and attorneys on both sides. He is of the opinion that the act of admission raises no bar to the removal of the State seat of goyernment and that it was necessary to the legality of the resolution for it to be read on three separate days in each branch of the General Assembly before final passage. The resolution, how- ever, carries two separate and dis- tinct propositions and seeks to amend two sections of the constitu- tion. The celebrated case of Livermore vs. West, in which the attempted remoyal of the capitol of the State of California from Sacramento to San Joes was involved and settled in favor of the latter city, was fol- lowed by Judge Shakleford in his decision. The case is exactly simi- lar to the Missouri case, and the following excerpt from the Califor- nia decision gives the grounds on which his ruling was made: The legielature was not authorized by the framers of the constitution, nor do the terms of that instrument per- mit it, to propose any amendment that will not upon its adoption by the people become an effective part of the constitution; vor is it author- ized to propose an amendment which if ratified will take effect only at the will of other people, or upon the approval by such persons of some specific act or condition. Iu other words, if the amendment proposed in Missouri should be adopted by the people it would be inoperative, depending solely upon the people of Sedalia fulfilling pro- | mises made and in which the public generally could have no hand or vote. The amendment also if adopt- ed would not chauge the seat of government, as it would simply wipe out the present seat and leave the matter unsettled. The case can hardly be passed upon by the Su- preme court before January, 1896. The appeal will doubtless be taken at once and the case docketed for the October term, and then it will be several months before the decis- ion is handed down. A Woman Sheriff. Springfield, Mo.
