Sister Kentucky, sister Missouri | has her eye on you and a good re port is expected in November. The capital removal question now before the supreme court has been advanced on the docket and a deci- sion will be rendered before Decem- ber. Ex-Governor Campbell is directly charging in his speeches that a bribe of $8,000 was paid to the late Ohio legislature for the passage of a bill to enact a new mechanics’ lien law, and he has proof to back up his as- sertion. Evidently Ohio statesmen are out for something more than railroad passes.— Post-Dispatch. In the congressional race in Georgia, the second inst.

Watson is an office seeking crank. ———E——— The Omaha World-Herald has brought suit against the Omaha Bee for $50,000 damages. Suit was brought on acceunt of a scurrilous publication in the Bee alleging that the World-Herald was in a tottering financial condition, and at any event would cease to become a democratic paper. : Indiadapolis, Indiana, the home of ex-president Harrison, tires of re publican misrule and in the city election held Tuesday in that city gave the democratic mayor a major- ity of 4,000. Itis the heaviest de- feat the republicans have sustained in the history of the city. Hurrah for Indianapolis. The Se Ge ene eee to have the Corbett-Fitzsimmone fight to come off at Hot Springs, Ark. They claim there is no legal obstacle te overcome in that state. Nevada is also bidding for the fight and San Francisco capitalists offer to put up $100,000 to have it come off at Car- son. Corbett is now in training at San Antonio, Texas. The republicans of Chicago held their primary elections Wednesday of last week and the account of the meetings almost equal the great railroad riot of last year. Accord- ing to the report in the Chicago papers the polling places in the city were turned into mobs and blood- shed, violence, intimidation, bribe giving, bribe-taking, debauchery perjury and lawlessness reigned su- preme. It required a column of epace in a Chicago paper to give a list of broken heads and noses and then the story was not half told. The Louisville Courier-Journal editorially referring to the probable Democratic nominee for President in 1896, says: “One thing seems tolerably sure: If there is no hitch in the good times that are upen us, and if the Democratic party can send its fools to the rear and bring its men tothe front, it has more than the better of it in the field of spec- lative politics which begins to spread itself before us,and Kentucky speaks for Home Rule, Henest Money,Free Trade and John Griffin Carlisle.” eee eee Father Wagner, the St. Joseph priest, notwithstanding he has mar- ried the girl he ruined, is still ina hot box and the chances for his changing his priestly robes for stripes are rot improbable. While he is almost certain to escape the two indictments returned against him by the grand jury for assault and abduction, the state is liable to catch him on the charge of embezzle- ing church funds to the amount of $2,000. The experts who examined his boeks claim they were kept in bad condition and it was almost im- possible to make anything cut of them. Since the priest has married the girl and thereby escaped crimi nal prosecution on this ceunt he has put on a bold front and has be- come extremely defiant in his words and actions. | |sult will be hard to determine until’ | the election is ever and the count of | |the ballots is made. The county) of the state and city election the re-| democrats have fused with the re-| publicans on terms of a division of the offices, and a fusion ticket has been nominated, but whether the action of the republican convention | will bind the straight republican ticket fellows remains to be seen, and it is highly probable that a bolt will be the result and the anti Platt crowd will go as you please. In case this break takes place in the republican ranks then the election} is very uncertain. The Tammany democrats, however, do not seem to be greatly alarmed and are firm in their belief that they can over- come the fusion ticket. Anyhow, the republicans of the city and state showed their weakness in sub- mitting toa fusion and division of the offices. The republican conven- tion was ruled supremely by Boss Platt, who dictated the nominations made on the ticket. The St. Louis Republic's tourists in their special car visited Butler last Thursday. The staff correspondents, J. M. Nuckolls, Jr.,formerly city ed- itor of the Kansas City Times, and R.H. Lindsay, Washington Staff Correspondent of the same paper, are gentlemen of large experience in newspaper work, and descriptive writers of ability. They were ac- companied by a sketch artist and four canvassers. They spent the day as guests of our citizens looking over the city and gathering data. Saturday's issue of the Republic contained the ‘write up,” an excel- lent article on Butler and Bates county, which is favorably comment- edon by all our people for the graphie manner in which it set forth our resources and advantages and its fairness and truthfulness. Such an article in a paper with the wide circulation of the Republic, cannot fail to be of great benefit to the town and county, and that paper is tu be commended for its enterprise in showing up Missouri’s resources. Bates County's Capital. Editorial in Republic. Butler is one of Missouri’s young cities, but, asthe Republic’s story of the town to day fully explains, it is among the most prosperous and attractive. In Butler—and the Republic is proud to say that the same incident ig conspicuous as its score of cor- respondents enters each Missouri town—the liberality of the public school system is a prominent feature. Commodious buildings and a univer- sal public interest in facilities for education assure all new comers that their children will enjoy the best privileges. Butler is a growing trade center, because Bates county is one of the most favored agricultural sections of the great central state. It is near large markets and has excellent rail- roads. It is a story full of interest for the practical man—how a flourish- ing town has grown up ina few years and keeps on growing. A BIG DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. Republicans in the Capital City of Indiana are Buried. The Home of ex-President Harrison Tires of iis- rule and its Citizens Elect Tom Taggart mayor by 4,000 Plurality— Remainder of the Ticket by 3,200. A Tremendous Landslide. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. §.—The republicans of Indianapolis suffered the heaviest defeat in the history of the city in the municipal election to-day. Fairly eomplete returns at 10 o'clock show that Thomas Tag- gart, democrat, is elected mayor by about 4,000 plurality, aud the rest of the democratic ticket by about 3,200. Two years ago the republicans carried the city by 3,100 and last year the city went republican by 2,479 on the state ticket. Father Wagner Weds Her. St. Joseph, Mo., October 5.—At 10 o'clock to-night Father Wagner was taken by Sheriff Andreano and a deputy to the home of Maud Steidel, where the priest was married tothe girl. Justice Fitton officiat- ing. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the officers, the girl's mother and uncle and news- paper men. The priest repeatedly kissed his bride before he was led hack to a cell in the county jail, where he will remain until the case against him is disposed of. It is probable that he will be prosecuted for embezzlement of church funds.

President Cleyeland Decides to Stand by Venezuela. ENGLAND CALLED TO TIME. Secretary Olney Sends a Vigorous Dts- patch to Bayard. Washington, D. C, Oct. 4.—A\| correspondent of the New York Herald telegraphs his paper the fol- | lowing: “The great international question of the hour is the Venezu- | elan boundary dispute. Secretary | Olney has prepared a dispatch to Ambassador Bayard which will soon | bring the matter to an issue. This | dispacth is of a most positive and unequivocal nature. As soon as it shall be placed bafore the British ) government it will raise an issue which can be settled only by the retreat of one or the other of the governments. The stand taken by the U.ited States in this dispatch is | one that involves the oldest and/| most sacred traditions of the Mon- roe doctrine. “Secretary Olney’s dispatch isa declaration in the most positive lan- guage that the United States will never consent to British occupation of the disputed territory in Venezu. | ela unless that nation’s right thereto | is determined by arbitration This declaration is substantially the same as that which was made some months | ago, and to which the British for- eign office replied with a statement | that, while English right to part) of the territory in question could be | submitted to arbitration, the right | to another part could not be) submitted to such adjudication. | When Great Britain took this| ground the question which President | Cleveland and his advisers had to! decide was whether the United) States was bound by the Monroe | doctrine and by her dignity to in-| sist that all the territory in dispute, should be submitted to arbitration, ' or whether, by conceding England's ‘ contention, we should virtually abandon the field and leave Venezu- ela to fight it out alone. “Few more eerious questions have | presented themselves to an American administration within recent years. | The decision of the President and | his Cabinet advisers, after careful | discussion and painstaking investi- | gation, is that the bold and consist- | ent policy shall be adopted, and this | policy has been formulated in the | dispatch to Ambassador Bayard. | The dispatch meets England's re- | joinder with a reaffirmation of the principles of the original contention, | expressed in phrases which leave no | possibility of doubt as to the mean- ing of the earnestness ef the United States. “It does more. In polite but firm and signifieant words Secretary Ol ney declares it to be the belief of | the United States government that | the territorial claims which Great Britain has set up in Venezuela are | in the nature of an attempt to seize | territory om the American continent | to which she has no legal right. | “The Secretary points out two) horns to the dilemma, leaving En- | gland to choose which it will accept. | First—If the quarrel with Venezuela | is an ordinary boundary dispute, | having it’s origin in faulty descrip. tions, imperfect surveys or other misunderstanding, a refusal to arbi- trate the same is contrary to the/ precedents set by Great Britain her- self and contrary to the practice of all civilized nations. Second—lIf on the other hand, as H appéars to be the case, and is the} belief of the President of the United | States, the dispute as to the — | PIM’: of aboundary line is a mere disguise under which Great Britain is at- tempting by superior force to ex- tend her territory in America; this is directly violative of the Mouroe doctrine and will never be submitted to by the United States. “This is the substance of the dis- patch, which in all probability will | soon become one of the most famous dispatches ever sent out from the State department It is a direct, | positive and practical application of the Monroe doctrine in it’s broadest aspect to the quarrel between Great Britain and Venezuela. It commits |the United States to a position which must be adhered to.” Overmyer Selected. Topeka, Kan, Oct. 4—David Overmyer has been appointed to be a member of the national committee of the Free Silver Democracy. The appointment was announced in a let- ter to Mr. Overmyer from Governor Stone of Missouri. The objeet of the oganization is to commit the Democratic party to free silver. Mr. Mr. Overmyer stated to The Times’ correspondent to day that he regarded the appointment as a great honor, and it would afford him pleasure to do all in his power | to carry out the purpose of the Free Silver Democracy. “The Democratic party,” he de- clared, “has always been the people's | party, and the friend of silver. It is our intention to maintain these old principles of the party now. If the | gentlemen east of the Allegheny mountains don't like it, they would better go with the Republicans.” Huns in the Mines- Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 5.—Presi- dent Judge Woodward to day re- ceived the report of the mine inspec- tor of the second anthracite district, and it reveals how completely the mining and laboring hereabouts bas during the past few years, passed into the hands of the Polish and Hungarian element. Out of 823 men employed in the second district wut 154 are naturalized. Out of the 587 examined for certificates of compe- tency during the past year only 184 were citizens. Well informed coal men say this proportion will hold good throughout the anthracite region.

Oct. 5 —A mob of 250 men forced the guards at the Cole City (Ga) stockade to} surrender Convict Neal Smith, a! colored “trusty,” and tortured and killed the prisoner. Smith had beat- en into insensibility and then crimi- nally assaulted Miss Maggie Hender- son, daughter of Colonel W. A. Henderson, a farmer, residing near Carpenter's Station, who was visiting the family of her uncle at Vole City, Ga. The girl’s:injuries are so serious | that she can hardly recover. Smith was taken from the stock- ade by a mob of 250 men. The Sheriff and Jailor with several men were on guard, but the crowd refus- ed to listen to reason and threatened to tear down the stockade and burn it unless Smith was delivered. Smith was then turned over to the crowd, who led him to a pond near where! the assault was committed. He confessed his guilt and was then treated to torture which is unparal- | elled in history. | | After being mutilated in a fearful | manner by the tather, Wm. Hender- | son, who subsequently cut off the | negro’s ears, he was seized and held, | while one of the crowd pounded his | fingers, joint by joint, one finger at 8 time, until the hand was a shape- less mass of bloody jelly. This was; because in the struggle to subdue Miss Henderson he had bitten off | one of her fingers. Each man in the| crowd then took a turn at sbocting | at him, until he must have had four | or five pounds of lead him. He was | literally shot to pieces, and the bloody pulp, which only an hour before had been Neal Smith, was thrown into a hastily prepared pile| of brush wood and burned until not a scrap of bone remained. Wilson For Congress. Wasbington, Oct. 5.—Postmaster General Wileon will be the demo- cratic candidate for congress this fall iu the second West Virgi:.ia dis- trict, which he represented for six consecutiye terms, to be defeated in the landslide of 1893. The authority | for this statement is one of his prin- cipal lieutenants and eupporters, | prosecuting attorney Forrest Brown of Jefferson county. Mr. Brown} saye that the democrats of the sec- ond district will never get over the bumiliation of Wilson’s defeat until | they have retrieved it by putting him back in congress. The post- master general himself, it is said, is | touch in the same mind and is not lunwilling to make the race if it | should be the decree of his constit- juente. No other idea than the re-/| | covery of bis old seat can be imputed | to Mr. Wilson at the present time, | although a not improbable future promotion to the senate might na- } | turally be regarded. | andon or before the third Jay Gould's Estate. New York, Oct. 4—Surrogate Fitzgerald has returned to David McClure appraiser of the Jay Gould estate, his reports on its value in order that the collateral inheritance tax may be levied. The report values the personal property of the estate at $80,934,580, and the real estate at 2 million dollars. The residuary estate amounts to $72,- 224,547. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used.
