The doors of the Mullanpbhy Sav ings bank, St. Louis,closed Saturday morning by state bank examiner C. © Austin. The bank has been in an ainsound condition since the panic of 1893. Since the collapse of the steel rail trust prices on rails have dropped $4 or $5 below the English mini mum. Yet we have a tariff of $7 54 @ ton to keep British rails out of the Cnited States. The Times went to press one day ahead of the inauguration of Presi dent McKinley, and for that reason we could not procure the message for this issue. It wil! appear in the Tres next week. The following complimentary no- tice about our congressman is taken from the Marshall. Mo, Democrat News: “Representative DeArmond is winning golden opinions from every Missourian. His career in con gress has given complete satisfaction and more than one traitor has fallen before his logic and withering sar- casm. Long may he serve his state!” PRESTO, CHANGE. The change will take place to-day. Grover Cleveland will return to private life and Wm McKinley will be inducted into the highest office in the gift of the people. If all re- ports sent out from Washington are true the ceremonies attending the inauguration of Mr. McKinley will be the most imposing ever wit nessed in the United States. Money has been spent lavishly, and noth ing neglected that human ingenuity could devise to add to the regal splendor of the occasion. While some criticism wiil be made of this extravagance in high official life, the more conservative will approve the expenditures for the occasion as ap” propriate in seating the president of the largest, wealthiest and most prosperous country on the face of the globe. If the inauguration of Mr. McKin- ley will usher in that wave of pros- perity which was promised us in the last campaign, then every American should and will commend the wis- dom and foresight of that party which is responsible for his election and give hearty support to his ad ministration. But we warn the new president and his party that if the present stringency in money matters continue; if prices are depressed, banks and business firms continue to failand the present hard times continue to afflict the people, his reign will be unhallowed and at the end will set in deepest darknesr, while the democratic party will | Again resume the management of the affairs of the government. Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 23.— A monument to the late ex Governor Marmaduke is assured. The House appropriations committee reported this morning in favor of allowing $1,500 for the purpose.

It is charged ‘that Boss Hanva spent from 000,600 to $5,000,000 upon Illinois | alone; and that many thousand more votes were counted in the state than are voters to cast them.

Dewey Wants to Bay Corn- Manhattan, Kan, March 1.—C. P. Dewey of Chicago began buying corn here today Heis paying 15 cents per bushel, while the market price is only 13 cents. His object is to fill hia eribs, which hold over 100,000 bushels immediately. As an extra inducement to get the corn in at once, he offers a prize of $25 for the largest load or greatest num ber of bushels hauled by any one team, and $75 for the greatest loads from any one township from Riley, Geary or Pottawatomie counties Saturday he will give a banquet to the farmers of this vicinity and to the business men of thia city. Foley Indictments Returned, Liberty, Mo., March 1.—The two indictinents which were found by the grand jury Saturday against Williams §. Foley were formally presented to the court this morning. One of them charges him with mur der in the first degree for having killed his mother, and the other isa similar one for the killing of bis sister. It is to be expected that he will be arraigned Wednesday, when his attorneys will ask for a continu ance. Foley has been very quiet ever since he’ learned that he had been indicted. He has avoided conversa tion even with his cell-mates and has acted as thougk he had at last begun to realize the gravity of his position. This morning he had a talk of an hour's duration with his attorneys, but with that exception he has not seen any one. Gift to Stevenson. Washington, D C, Feb. 27.—A silver dinner service which the Sen ate tonight presented to Vice Presi dent Stevenson was exhibited in the president's room at the capitol today. The service ccnsists of a splendid center piece, soup tureen, vegetable dishes, meat platter, large pitchers, waiters, gravy bowl, etc. entirely covered with repousse work of a most elegant character. It is in scribed as follows: To Adlai E Stevenson, Vice Pres ident of the United States,President of the Senate, 1893-1897, from mem bers of the Senate, in token of the strick impartiality, unfailing cour tesy and unsurpassed wisdom and discretion which, in the discharge of his high office, have endeared him to the Senate and earned for him the gratitude of the American people. Servant Girls May Sue Free. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 26.— {There was s bill passed by the House today which many people call the servant-girl bill. The meas laborers and servants can file suite in the justice courts without giviog any cost bond. Crisp of Jackson fought the bill of ex-Senator Buckner and wife.

Within three months six have taken their own lives and four unsuccessful attempts bave been made by others. Lack of work &cenis to be the principal cause. ‘ples.

Jo Shelby. | His commission reads for a term of |four years. Both the Missouri sena- \tors were for him. President Cleveland was immedi- j ately notified of Crenshaw’s confir }mation, and bis commission will be mailed to him to morrow. It is not expected that any changes will be made in the office force. Stephen C. Woodson was also confirmed as postmaster at St. Jo seph Woodson’s confirmation wes the surprise of the session. He was fought by both the senators from Missouri. Senator Palmer backed him, however, and he won out, to the surprise of everybody. Eugene Hagau captured one of Senator Baker’s Kanses plums by securing the confirmation of Hugh H Lourey as postmaster at Frank- fort, Kansas. The senate also made these con- firmations: W. W. Follett, to be consulting evgineer of the United States on the international (water) boundary com. mission, provided for in the conven- tion with Mexico on March 1, 1889, to fill a vacancy.

Washington, Feb. 26.—Mr. C. W. Stone (Rep.) of Pennsylvania, in the House, moved to pass under sus- pended rules the Senate bill to pro- vide for an international monetary conference Mr Quigg (Rep.), New York de nounced the monetary conference bill. He declared the fight ir the last campaign was for the gold standard and was won on that issue. Mr Hepburn (Rep.) of Iowa repu diated Mr. Quigg’s interpretation of the St. Louis platform, in a fierce speech, and Mr. Johnson (Rep.) of Indiana appealed to the Republicans to have the courage of their convic- tions and vote down this proposition | Rozelle is Ready to Fight Vandervoort. St. Louis, Feb. 26—There is a war brewivg between Labor Com missioner Arthur Rozelle, of the Missouri Reform Press asscciation, and ex President Paul Vandervoort Press association.

The debate on the post. | office bill was mainly on the question | of investigation into the cost of car-| rying the mails on the railroads | The declaration of Senator Dubois | that the Republicans could not or- ganize the next Senate disclosed a purpose that has been forming for a fusion organization of that body. It is the intention to have the three parties opposed to the Republicans, the Democrats, the Populists and silver Republicans, caucus separately and appoint representatives to con- fer for the purpose of a fusion or ganization. It will require the sup- port of all the factions opposed to the Republicans to accomplish this result, the gold Democrats as well as the silver Democrats. There is no purpose to organize to prevent a tariff bill from being considered. Thesilver Republicans would prefer that organization be deferred until such a tariff bill as the Republicans want shall be brought before the Senate and passed. It is intimated that silver men will facili tate the reporting of such a measure as the Republicans of the committee may agree upon. It is possible the silver Republicans may not yote for a tariff measure, but they could re- frain from voting and that would pass the measure Abuse for Consul Lee. Havana, Feb 28 —The Marquis de Palmerola made a scandaious personal attack on General Lee Wednesday night in the palace in the presence of several newspaper correspondents. The incident arose because the censor refused to pass a dispatch for the correspondents, which said the release of Scott had been demanded because he was both arrested and kept in prison in defi- ance of the law. “Who told you that?” shouted General Palmerola, the secretary of state for the island. “General Lee,” replied a corres pondent, calmly. “General Lee is a liar, impostor and rebel,” shouted the little Mar quis with an oath. This incident is telegraphed mere ly to show how the wind is blowing in the palace, and to let Americans see what must be the treatment and position of an ordinary citizen here, when our consul general is reviled |openly in such a manner by one of the heads of the government here. Talked of His Sweet heart. Marshall, Mo. Feb. 28.—The re | mains of Engineer Ebrit and Chas Rymal, head brakeman, and the injured fireman, Harry McClain, who were killed in the Chieago & Alton freight wreck here last even ing, were taken to Slater. Rymal’s remains were taken from the wreck in a terribly mutilated condition jabout 11 o'clock. While bis life was being crushed out between und un ider heavy timbers he conversed with conductor Raum and the injur ed fireman. He realized his condi tion and gave instructions regarding | family matters; told them to tell the young lady at Slater who was soon jto become his wife that he loved her and bid them all gocd bye. The engine and twelve box cars were ditched. Trains wil! probably be} ruuning by morning. | For Crenshaw. | Washington. D. C., Feb. 26.—The nomination of Giles Y.

These men were Francis Y Borego, Antonio Gonzalles, Lauriaso Alarid and Pet rocio Valeucio. During their trial they were de fended by Delegate Catron of N-w Mexico, who was defeated at the last election. He was their attorney and friend.
