Chief among those who ae- -) cepted positions of honor and trust, | and acquitted themselves with credit ‘and distinction bas been Col. James |L. Pace. At the time of his appoint-| ment as warden of the Missouri penitentiary by Gov. Stcne be was | whelly kind of work, but he pussess+d brains and executive ability and his management of that great penal in- |stitution has been a gratification to | his friends and a pride to the whole |State. He bas made more substan- tial improvements at a minimum ex- | pense than any of his predecessors. His changes in the rules governing the inmates have been on the line of modern progress and humanity. Among the first of his official acts was to abolish the ancient and brutal whipping post and in its stead was adopted humane and efiicient rules for governing refractory prisoners. Even his bitterest enemies have to concede that his conduct of this in- stitution has been all that could have heen asked by the people of the State. Inthe appointment of Col Pace’s successor Governor Stephens will not be governed wholly by the spoils system idea, but will make efficiency the crucial test, while rec ogoizing his friends and supporters Col. Pace has always been a strong friend and gupporter of Mr. Steph- ens. In his race for Treasurer he visited very many cuunties in his in terest and the Stephens vete in those counties attested the effective ness of his work. He labored for Stephens’ nomination this time when others were endeavoring to encom- pass his defeat by trying to induce some to enter the race against him. At the election Col. Pace spent a week in this county trying to solidify the populist vote for Stephens, and how well he succeeded the returns show. If Col. Pace will accept a second term, the Governor could not find a better man for the place. without experience in that/ KENTUCKY’S VOTE DIVIDED. |One Bryan Elector May Sit im the Electorat College, Frankfort. Ky , Nov. 13 —Accord ling to the official returns from every | one of the 119 counties, Smith, the | Bryan and Sewall elector, whe re ceived the highest vote—217,796— jreecived more votes than the lowest | McKinley elector and it is probable that at the meeting of the state ‘electors to cast the electoral vote of ithe state he will give one vote to | Bryan and Sewall. | The total vote of the state was 445,000 in rouvd numbers = Of this Cash, the highest McKinley and Hobart elector, received 218.054. The highest Bryan and Sewall elec tor had 217,796, and thus the major ity for the republicans is placed at 258.

Perdue, a wealthy retired farmer and stockman, aged 44 was instantly killed, and his son, John, aged 22 years, fatally injured by a Missou ri, Kansas and Texas freight at the crossivg, three miles south of here, this forenoon. The father and son were driving ina two horse wagon and when they reached the railroad the horses balked. The engineer gave the danger sig nal, but it was not heard by the oc cupants of the wagon. Mr. Perdue’s neck was broken, while the son's skull was fractured and his right thigh broken. It is feared that he also sustained internal injuries. The deceased belonged tothe A O U. W. and carried insurance in different companies to the amount of $20,000 An ir quest will be held to morrow. GEORGE R- PECK INJURED. Washington, D. C., Nov 16— George R Peok, of Chicago, general solicitor of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, fell down au elevator shaft at the Shoreham hotel before midnight last night. All the the fingers of his left hand were beoken and his right arm dislocated atthe wrist. No internal injuries were discovered, and the broken bones and bruises while painful will not be fatal. He stepped to the door on the of fice floor. The door was open and as he passed in he called the eleva es Bryan’s Speeches. | The St. Louis Globe-Democrat’s latest. | The electioneering tour of Candi- | date Bryan was one of the most re imarkable features of the recent ‘campaign. He traveled uearly 19, 000 miles, and made 600 speeches, | containing about 875,000 words, in | 447 towns and cities of twenty-seven | different states, to audiences aggre | | | ing equal to this in the way of per- sova! effurt was ever before known im our polities, or in the polities of jany other country. And what was its general effect upon his fortune? This is an interesting question, and |one that eludes definite answer, for nipg Votes—but you can’t tell,’ Mr Pryan himself said to Bourke Cock rau when they met in West Virginia Then he went on to declare that he felt a good deal like the young mis sionary to some islands, who, being asked how he was getting along replied, “Very well, indeed; I draw good crowds to hear me, they pay close attention to what I say, and I feel sure that I am making converts every day; but,” he added with great seriousness, “I never stand up before a crowd of those fellows and talk to them that there was not a queer feeling run ning up my back which makes me think I’m going to be eaten up by ‘em before I get through.” The story fits the case admirably, and is applicable in a general way to all pelitical oratory. A Remarkabie Unhkeness. Kansas City Times. One of the strongest recent exam ples of the force of the proverb, “Comparisons are odious,” 18 given in Tom Watsons resurrected letter of acceptance. Tom says in that mnocert gober grabbing fashion so peculigr to him, “I can say with per- fect assurance of telling the unqual ified truth that my arrival on the field of battle has not been welcom ed as heartily as Blucher was wei comed by Wellington at Waterloo. They need Blucher troops, but they draw the line at Blucher. This ia bardly fair to Blucher or his troops, uor is it the best way to defeat Na poleon.” It should be remembered that this speciman of Watsonian modesty was written before the recent battle of the ballots was fought. The Georgia Biucher had no troops to briag up. His reserves from his own state abandoned him befors the skirmishers were driven in, and gating over 2,000,000 persons.

REPORT, ELECTED Nevada Mail—Chairman Buchanan is of the opinion that the bimetal lists ought not to stand still and drop everything because the election went for the gold standard side. He thinks there ought to be organized in Vernon county a silver club of not less than 1,000 members, who should pay an initiation fee of $1 to pay expenses of having a free silver lecturer every month. “Ido no be lieve in an agitation that will inter rupt business,” said he, “but let the people be better informed on this great question and we will win in 1900 sure.” Chairman Buchanan’s ideas are good. The cause of silver should not be allowed to die for one day, but should be kept at the forefront and the organization for the battle of 1900. Every townsbip in Bates county hasa club and these clubs should be kept together and in line and with four years of agitation and seat in the senate.

The packing houses in Kan- sas City have been discharging their men. They plead scarcity of stock as the cause The Post-Dispatch predicts that R. B. Speed, editor of the Nevada Mail,will be coal oil inspector for St. Louis. Gov. Stephens could not find a better or more suitable man in the state to fill the position. The @ppointment would particularily please the newspaper fraternity, among whom Mr. Speed is very pop- ular. Governor-elect Stephens bas ap- pointed as his private secretary his brother in-law. Paul B. Moore, of Miesissippi county. Ed T. Orear, whe has held the place as assistant state treasurer to Mr. Stephens will succeed Mr. Waddell, as insurance commissioner of the state. It is also stated that Governor Stone will be excise commissioner at St. Louis.

Wilmington, Del., Nov. 13.—Gov- | ernor Watson issued a proclamation today declaring that all of the votes cast for James G. Shaw and James G.

This will send three McKinley electors from Dela ware to the electoral college. Mr. Hicks predicts the following for the coming winter: The winter of 1896 97 will be very long and cold with much snow in all localities where snow isa factor.
