Browning’s name is mentioned as fit material for an ex- cellent representative. ee Every Republican congressman from Missouri, including Hall, Tars- ney and Cobb, democrats, voted against free coinage of silver. From present indications it is vir tually conceded that Col. Jas L. Pace will receive the nomination for state auditor without opposition. a When DeArmond got through with Hall the floor of the House of Representatives had been thorough- ly wiped up.—Post Dispatch. The silver substitute te the bond bill sent to the house was voted on Saturday. ‘he vote resulted 90 for the free coinage amendment to 125 against. The tariff bill sent over to the sen- ate for confirmation by the house, is a dead duck. The vote to consid- er the bill resulted 21 for to 29 against the measure. Giles Filley, of St. Leuis, who recently paid security debts to the amount of $1,400,000 by the failure of the Excelsior manufacturing com- elected him over Charley Morgan. Saturday the judge was given an opportunity to place himself on tbe record on the money question, and he did so by voting against it. Judge, of course will have a plaus- able excuse when he returns to his district for re-nomination and will explain matters satisfactorily to his republican silver supporters. Congressman Tarsney has been given another chance to hold his seat. Congresemau Taylor, ef Ohio, has dissented from the action of the republican members of his commit- tee recommending that Van Horn be seated. Conscience stricken he thinks that action on the present evidence would constitute a dangerous prece dent. A rump congressional com mittee will be sent to Kansas City to investigate the charges of fraud made by both Tarsney and Van Horn. The Sedalia and Jefferson City papers ought to let up fighting and black-guarding each other. It looks like the capital removal fight has re solved itself into a persoual slander harangue between the editors of the two towns. As the court has settled the constitutiona! ques tion and a vote is to be taken, the factional figkt of the editors is con trary to public decency, and will cut pany, is left without a dollar at the age of 81. Seventy medical students attend- ing the State university, at Iowa City, Iowa, were suspended from achool Saturday, by the faculty for infraction of the rules. will not stand as a candidate for delegate at large from this state to the national convention. Judge DeArmond would fill bill admirably. the See The silver amendment to the bond bill returned to the house by the senate. has gone up salt creek, and the vote to concur in committee of the whole, shows the republican con- gressmen to be almost unanimous against the free coinage of silver. If the chairman of republican county committees constitute the republican party of the state then the Missouri’s delegation to the na- tional republican convention at St. Louis will vote for McKinley. Gov. Stone announces that he will not be a candidate for any oftice after the expiration of his present term. The governor, however, will not lose interest in the campaign and will be found battling for the party whenever and wherever called. The contest over the management and control of the St. Louis Post- Dispatch, between Col. C. H. Jones and the Pulitzer Publishing Co., has been decided in favor of Col. Jones. The Pulitzer Publishing Co., being restrained from interfering with the management and control of the paper during the life of the con- tract. State Auditor Seibert 1s getting numerous complimentary notices from the country press, pressing him to become a candidate for gov- ernor. Mr. Seibert is personally very. popular all over the state. He has made a most excellant auditor of the state and no doubt he would prove equally as competent as gov- ernor. Why is it all populist papers wear a patent out or inside. These pat- ents are printed in Kansas City, St. Louis er Chicago, and the contents amount to about as near no reading matter as it is possible to print. The editor that prints a patent and boasts about the size thereof, whea the patent print is furnished him at acost slightly above the price of blank paper. is displaying a good deal of gall instead of offering sym- pathy to the tortured subscribers. no figure in the vote. The long and short of it is if the editors do not bottle up their bad blood we will vote to take the capital away from both towns, and locate itina more religious and moral place. Osceola Demo:>rat.—Entries for the congressional race are now be- ing made. Bates county bas pre sented the name of DeArmond and Henry that of Dickinson. Cass and Johnson will put forward favorite sons and Cedar, Dade and St Clair are “figgerin’.” It promises to bea very pretty fight, with the best man to win. There can be no objection raised to gentlemen in other counties be- coming candidates for congress in this district, but the nominee of the convention will be Judge DeAr mond. The people have tried him thoroughly and have not been de- ceived in his ability to ably repre sent them, and we are of the opinion that they will be content to let well enough alone. Noah was the first man to adver- tise. He advertised the flood and eame through it all right. The fel- lows who laughed at advertising got drowned, and it served them right.

Nevada, Mo, Feb. 18.—Conklin Bros.’ bank at Richards, in this county, was robbed at 2 o'clock this morning by three highwaymen. The safe was blown open by dynamite. The building was badly wrecked and $900 in cash was stolen. The build. ing was set afire by the explosion, but the robbers coolly carried water and put it out. The explosion aroused the town. The robbers were seen, but no effort was made to capture them. They walked away in the darkness and made their es jcape. Theowners of the robbed k havea bank in this city, and one at Sheldon. They sent currency to Richards this morning, will order a new safe at once and Open up their bank at once. There is no clue to the thieves and no particular effort is being made to capture them.

Superintendent Paul Blount of the Consolidated closed down his mine and sent his men to the rescue but they could do nothing on ac- count of the escaping smoke and gas. They have now procured wet sponges and will make an effort to reach the interior. The scene at the mine is one of the wildest confusion. Wives and children of the victims are rushing widly to an fro, tearing their hair and rending the air in the deep an- guish which such a calamity brings. To night dozen of homes are deso late because of some loved one— father, husband, brother or son— who this morning left their homes with not a thought of danger or the awful death that so cruelly awaited them, and are now lying dead at the bottom of the Vulcan slope. All business is pratically suspend. ed; everyone is dazed at the awfull ness of the sudden disaster. No warning was given the peaceful vil- agers until a sudden report, as from a 100 cunnon, resounded throughout the valley, making the earth tremble. People rushed out of homes and places of business to see what bad happened, and one look toward the Vulcan was sufficient, for a dense cloud of smoke issuing from the mouth of the slope met the eyes of gazers and told the tale of death. DeArmond’s Course Indorsed, Nevada, Mo, Feb. 15.—Ata meet- ing of the Vernon county democratic central committee to-day, Dr. J. R Buchanan was elected chairman to succeed Judge J. C. Murray, re- signed, and Douglass Wight was elected secretary. Democratic pre cinct conventions were called to meet April 3 to select delegates to a county convention to be held in this city April 4, to select seventy five delegates to the Gubernatorial con vention at Sedalia.

Governor William J. Stone; second choice, any other good man whose views are similar to the the views of Governor Stone.

Washington, Feb. 14.—In expla- nation of the votes of Senators Car- ter, Mantle, Dubois Teller against the proposition to take up the tariff bill, it is said that it 1s formal notice to the Reed men that and hurried through at their will. Reed's managers lave been working to force an early adjournment. Senator Al- heon also wants it, but the anti Reed ferces propose to have plenty of time to consider every proposition.
