JEFFERSON City, Mo., March 31.—C. B. Seeber, of Higginsville, president of the Missouri State Association of Bankers; J. P. Huston, of Marshall, ex-president of the association, and Frank P. Hays, of Lancaster, secretary | of the association, were here and ap- peared before the state board of equal- ization for the purpose of securing, if possible, a uniform method of assessing bank stock in Missouri. It appears that there is a great difference in assessment of this kind of property in Missouri. In some counties bank stock is assessed at 40 cents on the dollar, while in some it is assessed as high as 110 cents on the dollar. The board took the matter under consideration and will do what can be done toward making the assessments uniform. MUST GO TO TRE PEN.

They were born and raised in this city, and have been in the banking business practically all their lives, having been associated with their father, who established a bank here in i858. They were highly respected and very wealthy, and their failure during the early part of 1893 caused quite a flut- ter. They were sentenced one year ago, but took an appeal to the supreme court of Illinois, which court concurred with the finding of the lower court. MISSOURI METHODISTS.

The doctor says Royce kept in his room thousands of newspa- per clippings concerning murders and murder trials, over which the unfortu- nate young man would pore for hours.

The State Supreme Court Affirms the Ver- dict of the Lower Court. JeFFeRsON City, Mo., March 31.—The state supreme court has affirmed the convictions of murder in the first de- gree of William P. and George E. ‘Tay- lor, the notorious murderers of the Meeks family, and sentenced the brothers to be hanged April 30. Among the 3i assignments in the motion for a new trial, the court says: The 17th states that the evidence is not cient to support the verdict, but this 2 seems to have been abandoned of late. tainly more cogent evidence of guilt is rarely presented in a criminal cause than the record herein furnishes. The objection presented by the defendants’ counsel that both were not present is not warranted by the instructions. Each of them required the presence of each of them in order for the conviction of both. The law required the prosecution to prove the defendants’ guilt beyont a reasonable doubt, but it did not re- quire it to prove an alibi beyond a reasonable doubt In closing the opinion says: At one time one of the jury sent for 25 cents’ worth of beer, and it was consumed by five or six of the jurors. In the absence of proof that the jurors were intoxicated by {t, nothing oc- curred which would constitute a reversable error. The game of cards played by the jury is not considered a serious affair. Having fully considered all the objection and discov- ered no substantial error in the record we firm the judgment and direct the sentence to be pronounced. The day of execution is set tor April 30. WILL 1UY A CONNECTING LINE. The Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Will Acquire the Om: & St. Louis. Kansas Crry, Mo., March 30.—The report that Chicago, Burlington & Quincy interests would acquire the Omaha & St. Louis is authoritatively denied.

The proposition has been renewed substantially as be- fore, and will be submitted to the bondholders at a meeting shortly to be called. It provides for the con- necting of the Omaha & St. Louis with the Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City by the construction of 30 miles of road be- tween Pattonsburg and Trenton, and also for the construction of 75 miles of road from Pattonsburg to Kansas City. The Kansas City & Northern Connect- ing Railway Co. will build the latter road. MR. NETTLETON’S SUCCESSOR. Vice President Washburn May be Placed at the Head of the System.

TacoMs, Wash., March 31.—It was Easter Sunday on the 29th on the Pa- cific slope, although not more than half a dozen people knew it. Those who did know it are ambitious astron- omers and mathematicians. They tind that the first full moon after the spring equinox put in an appearance on this coast shortly after ten o'clock Saturday night, and it is a fact that the first Sunday after the first full Sunday the world over. But in this pe- of the kind since the beginning of the Christian era, only this part of the Pa- cific slope has its Easter Sunday in ad- vance of the rest of the world. When the moon filled Saturday night, reck- oning by Pacific coast time, it was already Sunday in New York and Lon- don. Consequently, for the east and remainder of the world, excepting the Pacific coast, the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox will not arrive until next Sunday. FRANCE PREPARING FOR WAR. A Demonstration Against Great Britain Believed to Be Meditated.

Bayard is contem- plating resigning his post and will re- turn to this country and resume his residence in Wilmington within a few months.

They also hinted that the heavy drain upon the ambassador's private purse to maintain the dignity of his position has reached a position where it cannot conveniently stand it.
