TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: The Weexty Times, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address one year, postage paid, for $1.00. a One thousan4 four hundred Greeks left Alexandria, Egypt, Friday for Athens, Greece, to volunteer in the army. The house has passed a bill mak- ing it a penal offense to manufacture, sell or give away cigarettes in the atate of Illinois In the war between Greece and Turkey, the Lord appears to be on the side that has the biggest guns and most men. Fourteen bundred immigrants ar rived at New York a few days ago. Of these number 915 were Irish, and 600 of the Irish were girls. Japan should go slow in picking a fight with the United States. A war with Uncle Sam would be entirely different from that with the pig tail. It is eaid the tariff bill has been so amended by the senate committee as to make it almost an entire new bill. This is a reflection on the ability and wisdom of Mr Dingley. Whilé the House is doing nothing but meeting and adjourning twice a week, thousands of dollara could be waved by dispensing with useless clerks and pages. Gold shipments have heen going en for the past week and Saturday three million dollars was taken for shipment to Europe. Itis feared the withdrawals if not checked soon will result in another bond issue. It is said Geo B. Hamlet, a color ed man of Urbana, Obi’, is slated for chief postoffice inspector of the United States. He now holds the office of special agent of the pension bureau, with headquarters at Balti more. cacetanneaash iacar ingest An organization of free silver papers of Missouri wil! be effected at Meramec Highlands June 17. The movement was started by Tom Jar. boe, of the Sheldon Enterprise, and the meeting bids fair to result in a strong organization. ee Senator Peers says the state is short of fundc, and he does not see how an extra session of the legisla ture can be avoided. It is to be hoped the Governcr will find some way to bridge cover this financial crisis and save the state from the disastrous effect of an extra session of the legislature The Philadelphia, Reading & New England railroad has made a second reduction of wages of its employee, which took effect May Ist. All engi- neers and conductors are cut 25 cents a day, and brakemen 10 cents. This is one of the roads that made its men all kinds of promises of prosperity during the campaign if they would only support the gold standard. 2 a rama ANNETTE Wu. J Bryan is booked for fifteen speeches in the First Congressional the house is two months over due. Since a couple of well dreesed men have made their appearance in Eldo- rado Springs, the Sun has sprung a | sensation on the town that the long sought and much expected railroad is eure to be built. The reilroad men this time want $10,000 in cash and the right of way to Robinson creek. The people offer $7,500 and one and a quarter miles of right of way. The people are easily hoodooed when they want a railroad bad. Ex congressman Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, the largest man ufacturer of steel rails in the United States and a free trader, is the dem- ocratic candidate for governor of Obio. His only opponent thus far is Jotn R McLean, of Cincinnati, editor of the Enquirer, one of the staunchest free silver papers in the couatry. It is possible Mr. McLean will make the race for U.S senator and leave the gubernatorial field open to Mr. Johnson. The democrat; of Ohio are report- ed to be in high spirits over the recent elections held in the state in which they won so many victcries, that they now confidently hope to carry the stats this fall and elect a governor and also United States Senator. It is said John R McLean, editor of the Cin. Enquirer, and silver champion, will be the nominee for senator and Allen W. Thurman, son of the “Old Romau,” Tom L Johnson or ex-congressman Long, will ba the nominee for governor. There is general regret among the newspaper fraternity over the sad news from Lamar of the sudden death of Lee Chiswell, editor of the Lamar Democrat. He died in bed some time during Saturday night. the fact not being known until Sun- day morning. The deceased was one of the brightest and best koown newspaper men in the state. He was very popular and highly eateemad by all who knew him. The Tines is pained to learn of the death of its brother editor, and extends to the bereaved family deepest sympathy. aged 84 years, sonior divine of the Missouri diocese of the Episcopal chureb, and for forty years one cf St. Louis’ most prominent divines, lies at his home in St. Louis ina dying condition from general debility and infirmities incident to old age. Prior to locating in St. Louis Dr. Berkley was the rector of Christ church in Lexington, Ky., and while pastor of this church it was his pleasure to receive and baptiee Hen ry Clay. He was algo called upon to officiate at the tuneral of Mr. Clay J. W. Sebree, ex-state senator,died at his home ia Carrolltov, Mo, Mon day morning at 9 o'clock, after an illness of several months. Senator Sebree was born ia Stamping Ground, Ky, November 12, 1843 He was educated in Frankfort, Ky, and read law in the office of Thos. W. Linsey and Gen. G. W. Linsey, of Frankfort. He moved to Carrollton, in 1869, and became one of the lead-| ing members of the bar. He was elected to the state senate from the eighth district, composed of the coun District of Missouri. The election takes place June Ist, and with Mr Bryan’said Mr. Loyd, the democratic candidate for congress, certainly will be a sure winner. It is said the republicans will manage their part of the campaign on the still hunt and financial basis. } { i War has broken out in Warrens burg over the management of the State Normal school One side claims that the schcol is in the hands of a “ring,” while the other says it is not true. The people in that burg may scrap over the management, but when it comes to storming the legis- lature for appropriations every two years, there is perfect regularity in every beat of the pulse. Gen Miles has gone to Europe to observe the war between Greece and Turkey. From the present outlook the war will end before he gets half way over. If the General is after Pointers it would have paid him some real fighting over there occa sionally, The Greeks, it appears, are just testing the endurance of ties of Ray,Carrollton and Davies, in 1886, and re-elected in 1890. Asa legislator he gained a state reputa. tion. His death will be a great loss to the democratic party. Mrs. Mary E. Lease, in discussing the great flood at Guthrie, Okla homa, sees the hand of an angry God, and declares that the curse of the Almighty rests on that land. The people down there bad been praying for rain for weeks, but they wanted a good gentle shower and not a deluge. Mrs. Lease says, “If God had been pleased with the peo ple, would He have washed away their homes with an angry flood, when they asked in their prayers for a shower to save their crops?” If Mrs. Lease’s theory is correct in the Oklahoma disaster, then the hand of the Almighty is in the flood that is devastating the South land; the fam |ine prevailing in India; it is sustain |ing the Turks in the massacre of the | Lease has been a failure in so many | waye, we hardly believe she is the | proper person to judge the motives or intentions of the Creator.

Death and misery walk band in hand) Among these people there are several Americans. Yellow fever, small-pox and other diseases are prevalent. All this is the result of Gen. Weyler’s inhuman policy. Aid for the sufferers should prompt- ly come from the United States.” Other reports of a similar charac- ter have been received from the reg- vlarly accredited agents of the United States and have been placed before President McKinley. At Last, Hungry One, Wasbingtovr. D. C, May 4— Webster Davis caught a falling per | Simamon to-day. The President sent in his nomiea- tion for an office to the Senate this atternoon. After two months’ of waiting and much friction be tween Major Warner and Colonel Kerens over his selection, the ex- Mayor is now second assistant Sec retary of the Interior department, pendiog confirmation. The place is an important and responsible one It pays $4,500 per year, and the in cumben: has almost sole control of the 2 important divisions of the inte rior department—pensions and pat ents. His decisions in pension cases are promulgated officially and his signature must go to all letters of patent. Davis is the youngest man ever appointed to this position. Looking for Deficit. Waskington, D ©., May 3 —Sen ator Chandler introduced a bill today which looks as though tho republi cans were preparing to meet an in evitable deficit in the revenue through the failure of the Diogley bill to produce adequat> revenue. It provides that the secretary of the treasury may issue fifty millions of treasury ccertificater, payable in three years. and bearing 3 per cent interest They are to be used to pay current obligations. Fire and Panic. Paris, May 4.—Fire broke out at 4 o'clock this afternoon in a crowd- ed charitable bazar in the Rue Jean Coujon, at which the Duches d’Uzes and other well known patronesses were present. Many people were burned to death and there wasa terrible panic, during which a num- ber of persons were injured. Thirty bodies have been recover ed. Thirty-five injured people sare being cared for by physicians and many are reported missing. Gladness Comes Wit a better understanding of the transient nature of the many 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 o* 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 on} remedy with millionsof families, andis everywhere esteemed s0 highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness ‘without 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, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, | and the system is regniar, laxat:ves or afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most veneral satisfaction. cial instractions to all the consular} jtial report irom Matanzas, United} other remedies are then not needed.

A Fiend’s Work. St. Paul, Minn., May 1.—A tpecial from Larimore, N. D, says: & double murder took place at the residence of Kuute Hillstead, a prom inent farmer, residing eight miles west, at 1 o'clock this morning, August Norman, a young man well kuown in this section, who had been making bis home at Hillstead’s off and on, came there yesterday after. noon. Mr. Hillstead being absent, he wanted to stay all night. About 1 o'clock Normen went to Mrs. Hill: stead’s room and demanded admis. sion She locked the door and he said he would kill all the family if’ she did not give into him The lady | refused and Norman procured 6 ruzor, went upstairs and cut the throat of Peter K. Hillstead, aged 15 He then went down stairs and tried to get into Mra. Hillstead’s room again but ehe had blocked the door. He then proceeded to carve the 13 months old son Thomas, after which he cut the throats of Ado!ph and Oscar, aged 11 and 3. He then forced bis way into Mrs. Hilletead’s bedroom and assaulted her, promis- ing not to kill ber and the two little 4 girls if she would give in to him. She did so and thus raved her life and the life of ber two daughters. The two oldest sons are atill alive with but little hopes cf recovery. § Afterwards, the murderer stole one & of the horees and is still at large. cure Liver His; take, to operate, me SILVER IN OHIO. A Well Organized Plan to Gather Together All the Silver Republicans in Mc- Kinley's State. Cleveland, O, May 1 —Ttere isa project on foot in this State Icoking toward the organization of the Free Silver Republicans. The head of the locs] organization is J. C. Heald, editor of the Bi Metellic Standard. He bad been a republican all bis life upto the Jate campaign. The southern part of the state is being organized by A. A. Brown of Cincin- nati. He is a free silver republican aud is expected here early in the week for a conference with Mr. Heald. ; The cbjects and present status of the organization, according to Mr. Heald, are as fo'lowe: “The reason fcr organiziog is to give all republicans who believe in free silver, and who do rot des're to leave their party, a chance to secure recognition. If the republican party will give us no recognition, we will | form a coalition with the demccrate — and populiste, dividing a'l offices and committees evenly and mekiogs combined figbt for free silver, esch party sinking ite ideas for the time § being for free silver. 5 “The republican organization in Ohio was taken out of ths bends of the masses It is dominated by the § Plutocrats The demucratic party affords us no better home. The or- ganization is controlled by the Hills avd Brices and men of that class. | We have therefore decided to form | § a state organization and force recog- © nition. Our sole object is to attain | the free coinage of silver at the ratio®. |of 16 to 1. : Mr. Brown writes that be bas me* with success in organizing free silw republicans in the southern sectigy of the State. Itis understood tem there will be a conference in thi city early next week to take steps. toward perfecting the organization. ”
