Sam Levy & Co. ——— SEE President Cleveland at Buzzard’s Bay, pressed the electric button at 6:66 p. m. Wednesday of the 18th, and set the ponderous machinery in motion at the Cotton States and International exposition, Atlanta, Georgia. The oity was full of vis- itors to the great show. Cholera is raging in Japan. On the 10th inst., 662 cases of choiera and 476 deaths were reported. Up to September 6th, 48,928 cases and 25,756 deaths had occurred since the outbreak of the plague. The members of the First Pres byterian church of Washington City have voted to extend a call to Dr. Talmage to become their pastor. President Cleveland and wife are members of this church. Disbarment proceedings have been begun in the circuit eourt at Chilli- cothe, Mo, against Chas. A. Loomis @ prominent attorney and a member of the law firm of Davis, Loomis & Davis, and late republican candidate for congress in the second district The charge on which he is being tried is attempted perjury. The proceedings have caused a big sen- sation in legal circles in that section. The appointment of Gen. Milton Moore, to be a member of the elec- tion board of Kansas City, has been accepted by the people of that city asa most excellent selection. This is gratifying indeed to the outside world that read the city papers, that they are not to be treated toa tirade of abuse of the governor for the next thirty days. The Kentucky democrats have settled their differences, and the in- dications all point to a sweeping democratic victory. It was all non- sense in the first place for democrats to fall out in a state election over the money question. State officers can not change the monetary system of the country. The national eon- vention is the place to settle this question. The thirty-fourth anniversary of the battle of Lexington, Mo., took place Friday. Fully 10,000 people were on the grounds, the business houses were handsomely decorated, and four bands of music enlivened the occasion. Veterans of both sides met, shook hands, and talked over old times. Speeches were made by Hon. Alex Graves, Col. Van Horn, of Kansas City, Mayor Hastain, ef Sedalia and Col. John T. Crisp. Left Bound and Bleeding. We are glad to note that the Kan- sas City Times, for; the first time in a number of years, has a reliable and consistent democrat in charge. On last Saturday that paper passed into the hands of Wiley O. Cox as re- ceiver appointed by the court. Mr. Cox announced immediately that the paper would be reliably democratic. In order for Mr. C. to make good his pledge he should see that it’s columns are free from abuse of good democrates,and especially the officials whom the democratic party of the state has put on guard. Let the paper support the party administra- tion and not attempt,as it has in the past, to use it’s power to force dem- ocratic officials to conform their acts to it's views. The K. C. Times in the past few years has contributed it’s full quota to what democratic dis- cord that exists in the state. We look for better results from it under Mr. Cox’s management. ‘ Eldon, Miller county, a pretty little station on the Jefferson City, Leba. non and Southwestern road, a bold outrage was perpetrated at 1 o'clock this morning. The house of Samuel Newton, a prosperous miller, was entered by four men, who bound ard gagged him. They evidently supposed that there was a large sum they found but $6 in change they beat their victim with a club, injur- of the family were on the second floor of the house and could render him no assistance, unti! finally one of them, a young girl, jumped from a second-story window. She aroused some of the neighbors, but when they reached the house the robbers had fled, leaving Mr. Newton bound and bleeding. This is the second outrage of the kind that has occurred in the same neighborhood recently. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 20.—At of money in the house, and when | ing him severely. Other members | Betrayed By Hunger, Nevada, Mo., September 23.—The man who criminally assaulted Miss Frame, a school teacher near Liberal, last Friday, was caught yesterday | about eight miles northwest of Lib- |eral by a farmer. He gave his name as Davis, and when taken before his victim, he was fully identified by her. His capture was effected by a farmer. The young woman is 19 years old and well comnected. She was on her way to a pasture after a |cow, when the man jumped out of | some bushes by the roadside, seized jher by the throat and choked her into submission. As soon 4s the facts became known bloodhounds were put on the hunt of the mis |creant and rewards to the amount | of $400 were offered for his appre- hension. The fellow when appre- |hended had stopped at the farm house to ask for something to eat. The farmer had read the description | of the man as given by Miss Frame, and at once took him into custody. Liberal is a small town, just over the Barton and Vernon county line on the Nevada and Minden and Fort Scott and Memphis railroads, and is settled almost entirely by Spiritual- ists. Davis is a stranger in the community. Thanks to the Wilson Bill. Editerials in Kansas City Packer. More than 1,000,000 workmen have had their wages advanced 10 or more per cent during the past three moaths when the summer dullness generally prevails. This means that their buying power has been largely increased. Cotton is 66 per cent higher than last year and there are more than 3,- 000,000 bales of last season’s crop to be marketed, so that the South has more cotton to sell than ever before at much higher price than last year. Twenty-seven new cotton mills are soon to be erected in the South, | with an aggregate of 300,000 spin- | dles, which, added to the 500,000 | spindles to be placed in mills already built will give a total of 800,000 spindles to be added before May 1 to the number now in operation,and represent an investment of $15,000,- 000. Evidently the South is making a degree of progress that will cause the West to hump itself to keep up — the procession. After Being Shot at. Mexico, Mo., Sept. 19.—Shannon Jarman was indicted to-day by the grand jury on a charge of assaulting Miss Ollie Crawford. The young woman is about 21 years of age, and it is claimed that her character has always been above reproach. Last March she started with Jarman toa party. It is charged that on the road there he gave her some candy, after eating which it is alleged she became unconscious and was assault- ed by him. Tuesday Miss Crawford met Jar- man at the depot in Centralia. She shot athim twice. He rataliuted. Bystanders interfered and both came out of the battle without in- jury.
