The mine is owned by St. Louis parties. With a little less Topeka and a little more Missouri, an improve- ment could be made in the Kansas City Times under the new manage- ment. {t is said a democratic campaign fund of $500,000 has been raised ia Ohio. If this be true look out, you will heer something drop in Novem- ber. Prof Louis Pasteur one of the greatest scientists of the age, died at his home in Paris, Saturday. He was 72 years of age and his death was due to a paralytic stroke. Miss Consuello Vanderbilt and the Duke {of Marlborough, are to be married Nov. 14th. This wedding is hkely to be most important affair of the kind that has ever taken place in the United States. Senator Peffer is making ready to take his exit from Washington. He has bought controlling interest, in paper at Topeka, Kan. No one but the sugar trust will mies him when he leaves the senate. The officials about the state capi- tal were treated to a genuine sur- price Monday to learn that attorney general R. A. Walker had slipped away to New York and married Mrs. S. J. Percy, of that city, Sunday. The Farmers and Citizens bank at Pawnee, Oklahoma. failed Saturday and a strong effort was made by the enraged citizens to mob the cashier. When the sheriff took charge of the bank he found assets to the amount of $25. The other day Steve Elkins, re publican senator from West, Va, was thrown from his wheel. The fact was telegraphed all over the country and the city dailies came out next morning with flaming head lines giving the important news that Senator Elkins had met witha mis- hap while riding his bicycle and skin- ed his knee. It is something after all to be a big man. The citizens of Chicago are show- ing their sympathy for the Cubian people by their works. Monday two big meetings were held in that city, Mayor Geo. B. Swift presiding at one and the thousands of people in attendance shout themselves hoarse in approbation of a series of resolu- tions in which the United States government is asked to recognize the Cubans as belligerents.

The eyes of the state and nation are on Mr. Bland and he cannot be too guarded. The retirement of Hon. John T. Heard, of Sedalia, after a long serv- ice in congress has precipitated a fight in the district by a number of gentlemen for the place, and almost every county in the district will furnish a candidate. The candidates mentioned so far are Judge James Coney and Van Court Yantis, of Saline; State Senator C. E. Yeater, of Sedalia, and Col. E. C. Moore, of Boone. The seat is now occupied by Col. J. P. Traccy, republican, of Springfield. The demonstration of fourteen of England’s big war ships, forces China to bow down and make amends for riots against the mis- sionaries. The imperial decree issued to satisfy England’s demands places the responsibility for Cze Chuen riots with officials, and Vice- roy Lui is deprived of office never to be re-employed. Other officials are to be punished. Until the de- mands of England were made China has attempted to shift the responsi- bility of the riots onto the heads of afew poor ignorant coolies, and shield the offieials, the instigators and responsible parties. Maud Steidel, the missing St. Joseph girl has been found in a west end convent Chieago. She was taken there by Albert Elandt, broth- er-in-law of Father Wagner, the St. Joseph priest. Elandt was locked up on the :charge of abduction and later Father Wagner of St. Joseph was arrested and put in jail and his bond was fixed at $1,500 which he has not yet given. Elandt makes the statement that he was induced to take the girl to Chicago by Fath- er Wagner and that he is innocent and ignorant of wrong doing. It is said Father Wagner had shipped furniture to Chicago, and intended fitting up rooms for the girl, and then resign his priesthood and mar- ry her. The prospects are now pret- ty good for his serving a termin the penitentiary for- abduction as the girl was only 15 years of age. Boyd Winchester, formerly con gressman from from Kentucky and recently minister to Switzerland, has come out in a long letter, (which is published with relish by republican papers,) bolting the nomination of Gen. Hardin, democratic nominee for governor of Kentucky. Mr. Winchester is am uncompromising gold standard democrat and in his letter opposing the election of Gen. Hardin uses this argument: “If Gen. Hardin is elected it insures beyond tolerated:in Texas, and to prevent doubt the choice of a free silver the Corbett-Fitzeummons mill from coming off in that state has convened the legislature in extra session to pass a law prohibiting these brutal exhibitions from taking place.

Fortunately for the state of Texas it has a man for governor and not a woman. Kentucky democracy to consider, is that Mr. Winchester, since his re- jenlargement of the bump of self esteem, and if we are not mistaken in the temper of Kentucky demo- crats, the arguments used to influ- ence demecrats to desert the ticket will have the opposite effect.

I believe the free silver democrats may reasonably hope for the votes of the following states in national convention: Alabama 22 votes, Arkansas 16, California 18, Colorado 8, Florida 8, Georgia 26, Idaho 6, Illinois 48, Indiana 30, Kansas 20, Missouri 34, Montana 6, Nebraska 16, Nevada 6, North Carolina 22, North Dakota 6, Oregon 8, South Carolina 18, South Dakota 8, Tennessee 24, Texas 30, Utah 6, Virginia 24, Washington 8, Wyoming 6. Total 458. Count for the other side the fol- lowing: Counecticut 12 votes, Dela- sachusetts 30 New Hampshire 8, New Jersey 20, New York 72, Ohio 46, Pennsylvania 64, Rhode Island 8, Vermont 8, West Virginia 12, Wisconsin 25. Total 338. Doubtful—Iowa 26, Kentucky 26, | Mich:yan 28, Minnesota 18. Total 98. ‘Total in convention exclusive of territories, 894. The territories may be expected to send free silver representatives to the convention, but leaving them out of the count (all of them except Utah, which will be a state when the next election is held), we have by the rough estimate given a clear free silver majority, with the four states listed-as doubtful voting with the opposition. 1f California, Indiana, Oregon and Washington, whose 64 vetes have been placed in the free silver column be considered doubtful, then Ohio and West Virginia, whose 58 votes have been counted on the other side may also be regarded as doubtful. Throwing these six states into the doubtful column, the free silver men would have 394 votes in con- vention, their opponents 280, and 220 votes would be uncertain. Less thana fourth of these doubtful votes would be required to give the free silver men a majority of the delegates, while more than three fourths of 220 votes would have to go the other way to put the opposi tion in the majority. The free silver democrats may confidently hope to have in the na- tional convention of the party two votes or more from democratic states to every vote of the opposition from democratic states The hopes cf the opposition center in the dele gates from republican states. If the states which may be called demo- cratic could make the platform and name the candidates free silver would surely win in the convention. If the states that will surely go re- publican make the platform and the the ticket the hopes of the party in the democratic states, where alone is wntten for the edification of the! turn from Switzerland, bas had an/| there can be a prospect of securing democratic electers, will not be bright. Considering that the strength of the opposition, within the party, to free silver coinage is in the republi can rather than the democratic states, one finds forced upon him the query, what have the democrats of the democratic states west and south to hope for from the northern jloud two weeks in October in making speeches for the democratic ticket. He has been booked for five speeches, and the Ohio state com- mittee expects vo arrange for him to make ten in all. It is thought here |that about the time the governor goes to Ohio, political friends will begin to do some work toward se- curing for him the nomination for president next year. One of the governor's intimate friends said to- day: “The goyernor’s chances are improving every day, and those who ware 6, Maine 12, Maryland 16, Mas-/| know of what is being done will be surprised if he is not the democratic nominee for president.” The men who are looking out for the govern- or are already doing a good deal of corresponding with the democratic leaders in other states on their own responsibility. Two Banks Closed. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 30 — The bank of Monett and the bank of Purdy, both Bary county banks, have been closed by Secre- tary of State Lesueur upon notifica- tion of the State bank examiner of their insolvent and rotten condition and are in the hands of receivers. This makes thirteen banks closed by the Secretary of State since the exe- cution of the new bank examination law began on July 1, besides some half dozen others that anticipated the examination by making assign- ment. The secretary's exsminers, Messrs. Austin and Jones, ure evi- dently the right menin the right place, rnd are doing a great work in the interest of honest banking. Brave Sheriff. Nashville, Tenn. Sept. 28.—At Lewisburg a mob of masked men assembled at the Fair Grounds near the town with the intention of taking anego prisoner fromthe jail and lynching him Sheriff Menifee promptly collect & posse and started forthe mob. On the road they met fourteen coming to town and capture ed the squad, all being young cour- trymen. Great excitement prevailed, but all the law abiding citizens are in their praise of the brave Sheriff. demoeracy? What real tie is there to bind the democrats south of the Potomac and west of the Allegheny mountains to the democrats who have their habitat north of that river and east of those mountains? The fact is that the great question of the coming campaign is one which has already made its marked divi- sion upon sectional lines. The northeast, without distinction of party, is against the west and south, without distinction of party. The northeast is united in its opposition to the west and the south. Will the west and south oppose union with union? If they do the yictory is ours. Is it not then, standpoint, the highest duty of west- ern and southern democrats, the loftiest patriotism on their part to hopefully fight the battle for bi- metallism, inviting the co operation }of men of all parties in our own great sections of the eountry, being convinced that we have nothing to hope for from the northeast? In the approaching contest the votes of New York and Massachu setts will surely go against free sil- ver coinage.

C., Sept. 30.—Ex- Senator Mahone of Virginia suffered a stroke of paralysis at an early hour this morning at his room at the Chamberlin hotel. His physicians, Drs. Wales and Baker, have been in consultation threughout the after- noon 'and think his chances of re- covery very doubtful. The relatives of the ex Senator have been sum- moned by telegraph. The entire right side ia paralyzed, including the right arm and leg. He is unable to speak, except a few articulate sounds. He has maintained con sciousness, however, and seeks as best he can to assist those who are ministering to his comfort. The exact time General Mahone was stricken is in doubt. He retired at 12 o'clock last night, and up to that time was in excellent health and spirits, and had given no intimation of feeling unwell. No sound was heard from his room after he retired. At 10 o'clock thia morning Mr. Long, manager of the hotel, went to the general's room to call him. He found that he had been vomiting and was unable to speak. This last fea ture was attributed to exhaustion incident to the vomiting, and fora time no significance was attached to the general’s failure to talk. Dr. Walee, ex surgeon general of the navy and a long-time friend of General Mahone, was sent for, but could not be found. In the mean- time it became evident that the gen- eral’s illness was serious, and Dr. Baker was called in. He at once pronounced it a case of paralysis. Dr. Wales arrived sbortly after- ward, and with Dr. Baker took charge of the case Gencral Mahone appeared to be suffering no pain. By motions of his hand and a few sounds he made his desires known. Mr. Edmund Waddill, the Senator's secretary, was with him, attended to bis requests and notified the mem- bers of his family to come. Ex Senator Mahone was very low at midnight and bis physicians fear ed that he might not survive the! night.

Monrovia, Cal., Sept. 29.—An ac- cident occurred here yesterday which resulted in the instant death of Nellie W. Hagel, wife of F. G. Hagel, the aeronaut. The couple have been trayeling through the State making balloon ascensions and parachute jumps. Mrs. Hagel made an ascent, and when at the height of 1,000 feet,she pulled the rope which cut the parachute loose. She shot downward about 100 feet like a flash. The air caught the parachute and it commenced to open, but suddenly it became apparent that she was full- ing She came down like a cannon ball. She struck on ber back, her head coming in contact with the ground first. Her skull was crushed. Deceased was 33 years of age and a native of Illinois. Preparing for Cleveland’s Return. Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.— Preparations for the return of the President and family are in active progress at the Executive Mansion. The carpets haye been relaid, the furniture has been cleaved, polished and put in place, curtains are being hung and ina few days everything will be in readiness for the reoccu- pation of the mansionfor the winter. The various employes have returned from their vacations and are all on duty. Indications point to an early return of the President's family, but none of the employes will admit that any date has been fixed. The reno- vation of the building bas been quite extensive this summer, and it is now in better condition than for several years. a KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. 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 ls of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the | remedy, Syrup of Figs.
