The body lay in state inthe captol, Indianapolis, Ind., from 9 to 1 o'clock and was viewed by over 10,000 people. The funeral procession was over a mile long and is said to be the largest ever held in that city. The boiler of the regular passen- ger train which left Denver, Colora- do, at 8 o'clock Sunday morning exploded within half mile of the Georgetown depot at 12:10, and the ears were hurled from the track and quite a number of passengers were badly injured. Francis O. Edwards, of St. Charles, Mo., committed suicide by shooting himself at the Hillman house, Washington City, Monday. He was 22 years old. His father is an employee of the senate and has been in Washington for twenty yeare.

The mining camps at Cripple Creek, Colorado, accerding to reli- able newspaper reports, are over- stocked with laborers, work is scarce and living high, and if any of our young men contemplate venturing out there to increase their wealth, we would advise to take them along a well loaded pocket book. Mrs. Lizzie Bishop has brought suit in the Vernon county circuit court against the Mo. Pacific rail- road for $5,000 damages for the death of her husband.

State Bank Academy Banquet, A most delightful banquet was given at the Academy building last Friday night by the Heuse of York, one of the literary societies of the institution, in honor of the House of Lancaster. The music was very fine, the solos were excellent, while the recitations were far above the average. After the exercises the guests were invited to the chapel where a most bountiful supper was provided. At the closeof the feast Ed Dearmond of the House of York, acted in the capacity of toast- master, acquitting himself with honor. The replies were quite spicy and full of wit. It was near twelve o'clock when tbe merry crowd dis- persed, all testifying to the enjoya- bleness of the occasion. Saies-Agents Wanted For Made to Measure and Ready | Made Clothing’ by sample.
