President McKinley’s health, it is said, is giving way under the pres- sure of office eeckers. Goy. W. T. Thornton, of New Mexico, has resigned. His commis- sion expires on the 15th. The Wabash shops at Moberly have reduced working time to five days per week. It is said the men can hardly live on the wages received. Congressman McCall, republican of Massachusetts, took iesue against the passage of the tariff bill on the ground that the duties were entirely too high. Fitzsimmons, the champion prize fighter of the world, was in Kaneas City Monday and gave an exhibition. On the streets be attracted as much attention as a circus. Col. Fred Grant, of New York, son of Gen. U. S. Grant,has been of- fered the position of assistaut sec- retary of war. He has declined it for the reason, it is said, he would not serve under Gen. Alger. Speaker Reed says nothing further will be done in congress now until the senate gets through with the tariff bill. Many of the congressmen, rather than lay around Washington and do nothing but pay board bills, are making preparations to return to their homes. G. F. Otte Co's.carpet store Cincin- nati, was destroyed by fire Sunday The loss on the stock is estimated at $300,000. Tho fire also damaged the manufucturiog establishment of Henry Rosenbaum. The total! loss to buildings and stocks is put at $400,000. Jas. H. Aldrich, cashier and pay- master of the Kansas City, Ft. Scott and Memphis railway, was placed under arrest at Kausas City Monday, charged with embezzlement. The amount of his shortage so far as in- vestigated is $27,500 and may go to $75,000. The blizzard which prevailed in Wyoming for thre days last week over the greater portion of the state, is pronounced by stockmen to be the most severe experienced on the ranges since 1878. The loss of live stock, particularly sheep, is estimat ed to be 20 per cent, and that of cattle at 10 per cent. Railroad travel was suspended for 24 hours. Latest reports from the little town of Chandler, Oklahoma, say the work of the cyclone which visited that place last week was complete. The little city was wiped out of existence. Fourieen peopl were kill-d, eighty- two are injured and several of them will probably die. The work of re- lief for the destitue is progressing satisfactorily and also the work of rebuilding the town is gomg on. The garment wakers in St. Louis have gone ena strike. Up to the time of the election in November they were paid on the average 65 cents for each coat. They were not getting more because business was bad. But an increase in wages was sure to follow the election provided McKinley was elected. Instead of tie promised increase a reduction in wages from 65 to 50 cents has made, and a strike followed. The Columbia Herald attributes the defeat of the the University en- dowment bill to the country press. This is correct toacertain extent, but not altogether The facts are, the people of Missouri ara liberal in sustaining the schools of the State, but they are averse to giving the entire bank account to one institu. tion. The people of Columbia never seem to know when they get enough; in other words, they bave been in- dulged so much and so long by the! legislature, their hearts seem to be| broken when they cannot get their arms to the elbow in the strong box of the State Treasury, buy a stuffed elephant or senda University foot ball team to Kansas and Texas. HARRISON IN A WALK. Democrats Sweep Chicago by an Overwhelming Vote. PLURALITY IS OVER 70,000. More Votes for Harrison Than for Combined Opposition—A Victory for Silver—Labor Men Disgusted With Republican Campaign Promises. Chicago, Ill., April 6.—Carter H. Harrison, democratic candidate for Mayor, swept this city, receiving a plurality of 80,000 over Harlan, in- dependent, the second candidata in the fight, and 90,000 over Sears, republican. Harrison’s leading op- ponents were Washington Hesing, gold democrat; Judge Nathaniel Seare, regular republican nominee, and John M. Harlan, independent reform candidate, who was backed by the Civic Federation and the Municipal League. Of the thirty four Aldermen, the returns point to the election of 26 democrats, four republicans and four independents. Three of these inde pendents are democrats, who were put on the ticket by petition. — Harrison gained heavily in the banner republican wards, carrying Thirty fourth by 5,019 against 4,281 for Harlan, and 3,434 for Sears. This ward gave McKinley a majority of 6,000 last fall. The Third, Fourth and Twelfth wards, always republi- can strongholds, were also carried by Harrison. At the last Mayorality electioa Swift's vote was 143,173 against 124,294 for Water, democrat. In the Presidential election McKinley had 200,747 against 144,736 for Bryan. The overwhelming majority receiv ed by Harrison can be attributed to several causes, each of which is recognized as potent. But the fact that Harrison received a clear ma jority of the votes cast shows that the result is largely attributable to the protest against republican meth- ods anda disappointment over the failure of promised prosperity to arrive. Kansas City Times. THE TIDE BEGINS TO TURN. Monday’s elections are full of cheer to democrats. They were held throughout Ohio and Michigan. The returns show that in every city, vil. lage and hamlet throughout these two states the democrats have made remarkable gains. From Cincinnati and Detroit the triumphs won by the democratic party are particularly marked. In the former city Gus Tafel, a staunch democrat, was elected mayor by a majority of 7,320 and the ticket he headed was elected without a break. When itis considered that McKinley's plurality of 20,000 was overcome by the above vote it will be seen that the democratic gain in Cincinnati made during the past four months has been nearly 14,000. CHILD ROASTED. ‘The Little Daughter of Fayette Bell the Unfortunate, | | | PERISHED IN VIEW OF HER PARENTS. The Little Village of Sprague the Scene of Another Conflagration—An Appall- ing Calamity. Rich Hill Review. Friday night at 9:45 o'clock, after Mr. Fayette Bell and family, who reside in the extreme southwest part of town had gone to bed and were asleep, they were awakened by neighbors crying fire. Mr. and Mre Bell and two of their children were sleeping upstarrs, the house being a story auda half high. Mr. Bell sprang from his bed, and was hor ror stricken to find the entire eastern portion of his home on fire. By this time the wife and children who were down stairs were at his side and they had scarcely time to leave their bed chambers with only tneir night clothing on before the entire building was enveloped in flames. No thought had been given tothe three daughters who were up stairs until this moment, avd then it was found that all escape by the stairway was cut off by the flames. The gi:ls had been awaken ed by the noise however, and soon made their appearance at an up stairs window. ‘They were called to to jump and, raising the window, two of them obeyed and leaped to the ground. ‘The third daugater, Cora, aged 11 years, seemed crazed with fright, and instead of jumping, ran back into the house She made her appearance twice at the window, and tuen ran and leaped onto the bed, which was ablaze The house went up like a flash, and a few mo- ments later the clurred body of the child was raked out of the smoul dering eubers. Both legs were en- tirely buried cff at the knees and the blackened object, we are told, could scarcely be recognized as the body of a human being The pareats and othe: relatives were driven almost wild with grief. The Bell family has resided in Sprayue for several years past and is wel koown in that section and in Ricn Hill There were seven children in the family, one son, Will Bell, being married and residing in Foster. Another child, a boy of 11, we are told, came to his death in a somewhat similar mannar two years ago. He had ben sent on an er- rand to an unclee, not far away. As he did not return at the expected time, search was instituted, which revealed the dead body of the child in the shallow well cf a stock pas- ture. T.L. Robinson who wasin town with Geo. Vansant of the stricken neighborhood this morning tells us the tire broke out in the kitchen which was located in the southwest part of the house and it Pure Blood means sound health.

Three Caught at Walker and Taken to Rockville. Nevada Mail, 2nd. Yesterday afteraoon a man resid- ing at Rockville was here in search of some men wanted at his town for passing counterfeit money. He hunt ed up Chief of Police W. W. Hill, to whom ke stated that three men had worked business men at Rockville on raised bills. Tho scheme was to change a one dollar bill to a five. This was done by erasing the figure one and pasting a figure five over it The men, whose name Mr. Hill could not recall, had one of the counterfeit bills. but close iuspection showed where the figure had been erased. Yesterday afternoon three strange men appeared at Walker. One of them excited suspicion by walking into the bank and asking fer twenty two dollar bills. He was given all the bills of that denomination on band, but he was also watched. He was seen to be joined by two other men, and the trio proceeded toward Nevada. City Marshal Wade of Walker fol- lowed them to.a haystack on the Joe Davis farm and arrested them. A search of the haystack revealed a bottle of oxalic acid, a small phial of government printing ink used in printing bank notes, and some other paraphanalia necessary to the work of counterfeiting. The men with their outfit were at cuce taken to Rockville and turned over to the St. Clair county authori- ties. MEDICAL MEN GET TOGETHER. They Listen to Papers on Various Dis- euses.

Gladness Comes Wit a better understanding of the | transient nature of the mary phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort ir the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness “vithout debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- | ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- | cle, whichis manufactured by the Ca | fornia F rup Co. only and sold | allreputa’ druggists. | If in the en} of good health, and the system cular, laxatives or | other remedies are then not needed.
