TERMS OF SUESCRIPTION: The Weekty Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.00, Mara, who gets $500,000 from Spain, is 80 years old. Capitalists are building an eigh- teen story building in St. Louis. A regular blizzard and snow storm prevailed in Nebraska and the west Friday. Corbett and Fitzsimmons ought to go to some uninhabited island in the sea and knock it out. It is reported that Senator Gor- man is seeking the chairmanship of the democratic national convention. Republican candidates for presi- dent will apply to Quay and Platt, bosses of the Republican party. In the twelve states which held elections Tuesday, not a thing was said about the Populist party. No mention was even made of the exist- ence of such a party. The town of Arcadia, Iowa, was wiped out of existence by fire Sun- day. The fire burned over four acres of ground and but one store was left standing in the place. The Oak Ridge Sanitarium, at Green Springs, Ohio, was destroyed by fire Sunday. There were about forty-eight guests in the building and all escaped. The loss is $40,000. In some states men were the issue and not the party. In Maryland it was Gorman; in Ohio, Brice; in New York, Hill; in Kentucky, Hardin. With the republicans it was Platt, Quay, Reed, Sherman, Harrison and Allison. Bryant, a small town eighteen miles south of Little Rock, Ark., was almost destroyed by fire Mon- day. Among the buildings burned were three stores, a newspaper office, a hotel and several residences. The loss is estimated ar $50,000. er H. H. Holmes, the man charged with many murders and tried last week at Philadelphia for the murder of B. F. Pietzel, was convicted by the jury and his punishment assessed at death. The career of Holmes is per- haps one of the most remarkable on the criminal! records of this country. Ee The best free silver or sound money democrat is the one who in- tends to stick to his party and party nominations. It required some time for the democrats to get together on the tarift question, and it may take some time to adjust the money question, but this will be accom- plished within the democratic ranks. The democrat who talks about bolt- ing ought to be kicked over the line into the republican party where he rightly belongs.—Jefferson City Tribune. On June 30 there were 969,544 pensioners on the roll of the peacea- ble Republic—more than the eom- bined army pension lists of all the fighting European pewers. The net increase during the fiscal year was 860—and this thirty years after the close of the war. The estimate for next year foots up $141,450,000. And yet wonder is sometimes ex- pressed that war taxes are still neo- essary and the revenue is insufficient. —K. C. Times. It seems wiser council has pre- vailed and the unpleasant feeling which has existed in the democratic state central committee on the prominent issues, early and late con- vention and calling the committee to meet has subsided and a most pleasant feeling exists among the members. The movement set on foot by one or two hot heads to oust Chairman Mafiit has been quell- ed and matters for the time being are allowed to drift along serenely. Secretary of State Lesueur, said, “I do not care to discuss what has been but I will say that I haye talked with a number of the new members and they are all in favor of a con servative course. None of them, with possibly one or two exceptions, wants to drive any one out of the party. If by making concessions, they can secure harmony, the con- cessions, I think, will be made.” Cole County Democrat.—‘“It is generally conceded that Col. James L Pacze, the present Warden of the penitentiary, unless the combination now being formed can induce him to withdraw on a promise of reappoint- _|ment to his present position, will be |nominated for Auditor by the Dem-| No incum-| bent of any State office will hardly | ocratic party next year be nominated to succeed himself, as it means defeat certain to the nomi nee and endangers the whole State ticket.” The Timxs can say on authority that Col. Jas. L. Pace does not ex- pect another term as Warden of the Penitentiary. With the same candor we are privileged to say that Col. Pace will be a candidate for State Auditor before the convention in 1896. In seeking the position he holds he formed no combination with others and in asking the nomi- nation for State Auditor, he will go into the convention on his own merits, his fidelity as a democrat and his qualifications to fill the position to the expectations of the party and people of the state in gen- eral. There is no deception in Col. Pace, he is open and frank to a fault, and is nota man who would go into combinations in a state con- vention for self interest. He will be the next democratic nominee for State Auditor. His $3,000,000 Gift. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 2.—The largest donation ever made te an education- alinstitution at one time by one man today became the gift to the Chicago University, when F. T. Gates, representing John D. Rocke- feller, announced to the trustees of the institution that the eastern capi- talists had determined to add $3,- 000,000 to his already munificent donations. Mr. Gates read the fol- BD lowing communication from Mr. Rockefeller: New York, Oct. 30, 1895.—26 Broadway. To the trustees of the University of Chicago, T. W. Good- speed, secretary: GentLemEN—I will contribute to the University of Chicago $1,000,- 000 for endowment, payable Jan. 1, 1896, in cash or at my option in ap- proved interest-bearing securities at their fair market value. I will contribute in addition $2,- 000,000 for endowment or otherwise as I may desiguate, payable in cash or at{my option in approved interest bearing securities at their tair mar- ket value, but only in amount equal to the contributions otber in cash or its equivalent, not hitherto prom. ised, as the same shall be received by the university. > This pledge shall be void as to any portion ef the sum herein prom- ised which shall prove not to be payable on the above terms on or before January 1, 1900. Yours very truly, Joun D. Rockere.rer. Mr. Rockefeller had already given the institution $4,600,000 and the additional endowment announced to-day will swell the total amount to $7.460,000. Gushing Springs. Sedalia, Mo., Nov. 4.—Since the earthquake shock of last week, water has been flowing from springs in this vicinity that have been as dry as a powder horn for two or three months, and small streams south and west of the city that before the earthquake were completely dried up are now running streams of water. The reappearance of water in these streams in the abseence of rain can be accounted for in no other way than the earthquake opened up the subter. Tanean streams andpermitted a flow of water to the surface of the earth. Meet in the Dining-Room. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 1.—A special from Little Rock says: Fitzsim- mons and Corbett came together here at the Capitol hetel this after noon but no serious consequences followed. Fitzimmons was seated in the diningroom when Corbett enter- ed. To get by the Australian he had to walk within a couple of feet of him. As he neared him, Corbett poked his finger at Fitzsimmons in a derisive and insulting manner and at the same time muttering some un- intelligible sound. Everyone expect- ed to see a fight, but Fitzsimmons was not game. up, flushed and Corbett walked on. The pair to have one round, at least. He hastily looked peacefully-inclined breathed easier, while the “sporty” element collapsed. It was a chance fer the | | ANOTHER.

THE POPS COMPLETELY LOST IN THE SHUFFLE, The Kansas City Times of Wed- nesday morning sums up the elec- tion returns thusly: Returns received at the Times office up to three o'clock this morn ing indicate that the republicans captured nearly everything in sight yesterday. In Iowa returns show republican gains over two years ago to be twenty-four to a precinct, which would give the state to the republi cans by 80,000. The populists poll- ed the largest vote in their history in the state. Kansas elected Martin for supreme judge by an average majority. Down in Kentucky everything in- dicates that Bradley will have about 6,000 majority. Massachusets returns Gov. Green- halge by a plurality of 65,000. In Maryland the tidal wave oc- curred and the democratic ticket is apparently under a flood of 6,000 and upward. Nebraska polled a very small vote, the stay at home vote being very large, uence the republicans also car- ry thar. state. In New Jersy both sides elaim the election, but an unlooked for slump on both sides for the assemblymen leaves the legislative complexion ia the lower house very much in doubt. New York gives a plurality for the republiean state ticket of about 50,000, while Tammany elects its ticket in New York city by 25,000. Obi» snows Campbell under by a plurality of about 75,000, while Pennsylvania shows up about 100,- 000 for the republicans. Virginia retains it’s place in the democratic column on the legislative ticket. Utah in her first election adopts the new constitution and will prob- ably elect Cain, democrat, governor by a small plurality, the republicans capturing the remainder of the ticket including congressmen. The following is the K. C. Jour- nal’s summary: Pennsylvania—republican, 150,000 New York—republican, 70,000. Ohio—republican, 90,000. Maryland—republican, 20,000. Iowa—republiean, 66,000. Massachusetts—republican,65,000 New Jersey—republican, 15,000. Kentucky—republican. Utah—republican, 2,000. Nebraska—largely republican. Kansas—largely republican. Virginia—demecratic. Mississippi—democratic. Burned Alive. City of Mexico, Nov. 4.—It is re- ported here that by order of the Mens Mens Mens Mens Mens you big. In Underwear ‘we FOUND HERLOVER’S DEAD BODY. ] Mysterious Death of Doc Ellington | Near Lexington, Ky- Lexington, Ky., Nov. 2.—Miss | ter of William O. Crouch, a promi. nent Bourbon county farmer, was walking in her father’s orchard last evening, when she suddenly struck her feet against the dead body of a man, lying in the weeds, and fell over it. She was struck with horror when she recognized the face as that of her lover Doe Ellington. A few days ago Ellington had a difficulty with her father, and the old gentleman had ordered him off the premises and not to come to see his daughter again. They met again when Ellington was talking town judge ten persons accused of being heretics were borned alive at Texcapa, a small place inhabited by Indians and half-breeds. The judge it is said, claims he was acting ac- cording to.the will of God. manifest- ed to him in an extraordinary vision aceompanied by certain indications of divine wrath against heretics and people leading immoral lives. As soon as the news reached Mo- longo, the principal town in the dis- trict, the municipal president and minor officials, with an escort of over sixty men, armed with rifles, went to Texcapa, where they found every- body in the public square executing grotesque dances in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe, around the ruins of the jail, in which on the previous Saturday Nicolas Her- nandes, Martin Santiago, Jose Man- uel, Casper Hernandez, Juan Tomas, IL., Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria Conception and infant child had been imprisoned and burned. Twenty-one arrests were made, although the fanatical mcb threat- ened death to the authorities. The prisoners securely bound around the arms and chained together, were marched to Molongo, where a | jedicial investigation will take place. across the fence to Miss Alma. The girl's father attempted vio lence to the boy, when he drew a pistol and fired at the old gentleman striking him in the leg. He was put to bed, and is thought not to have been out of his room since. The body of the young man showed that life had been extinct for some time. Both eyes were blown out, the killing having been done with a double barrelled shotgun Fully forty shot had lodged in his face and head. There was no gun near, thus disposing of the theory of suicide- The sheriff of Bourbon county visit- ed the scene but no arrests were made. Crouch is in bed, and a family say he has not moved from his room since the shooting a few | days ago,which has been kept quiet. | Miss Alma will not talk. She faint- | ed after a series of screams, caused | by her fright, and was picked up by | some farm hands and taken to the{ house. The neighbors believe that | some of the boys working on the} place are implicated in the killing, but since they proved to the satis | faction of the sheriff that they had not been on the farm fora week he | did not arrest any of them. The dead man is.a brother of the wife of T.C. Angling, the veteran trotting Americans toward the old country | ton and placed in horse breeder of this city.

Smith’s Groye, Ky., Nov. 4—As the members of the Young Men’s Democratic Club left the school house at Oak Grove, 5 miles west of here, after adjourning the meeting held there last Saturday night, they were attacked by republicans. The president of the club W. O. Hall fell shot through the head and a dozen men set upon him with clubs and badly beat him. His friendsran to to his rescue and a terrible battle was fought. The democrats were | unarmed and could do practically nothing to defend tkemselves. J M. Harvey was shot in the bowels and will die, and John G. Franklin was Durrant Most Hang. San Francisco,'Cal. Nov. 1.—Theo- dore Durrant, assistant superinten- dent of Emanuel Baptist Sunday School, was to-day convicted for the murder of Blanche Lamont, for which he had been on trial since July 22 last. The jury was out 20 min- utesand arrived at the verdict on the first ballot. As there was no plea for mercy the punishment was fixed at death. He will be sentenced to die next Friday. | | Negro Assaults a Higginsville Young Lady. Higgineville, Mo., Nov. 1-—Miss j beaten into insensibility. Many others were left with broken noses | and limbs and nearly every demo-; crat was prostrated. Many warrants were sworn out and further trouble; is looked for. Alyina Hefter, daughter of Jobn Hefter, a prominent business man of this city, was assaulted bya negro while on her way home about 7:30 Thursday evening. The scoundrel failed to accom. plieh his purpose. The brate grabbed | the girl as she attempted to pass, dragged her into an alley, placed a | revolver to her forehead and threat. ened to shoot if she uttered a word. She screamed and the villain fled. She rushed home, gavea minute description of the negro and search was at onee instituted. This resulted in the arrest of Thad Gilmore,whom the girl positively indentified im- mediately after his arrest. Gilmore was hastened to Lexing- jail to avoid lynch- Paris, Nov. 4 —The Figari to day commenting upon the Venezuelan affair, says: “The dispute between England and Venezuela is worth watching on account of the proxim- ity of the British and American fleets.
