Marshall, cashier of the de. funct Archie bank, was tried at Har- risonville last week and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The charge against bim was for receiving deposits after the bank was known to be insolvent. The negroes of Obio met the other day and ina series of resolutions denouncing mob law, recommended “grape and canister” for mobs. The best way for the negro to stop mob violence is to discontinue the cause. Senator Pettigrew suggests the iden of submitting to a vote of the people in the congressional elections of next year the question of free silver and that of popular elections of United States senators. The sug- gestion is a good one and demoerats are ready and willing to adopt it.

This enor- mous sum of money is taken from the pockets of the people in addi- tional taxes. Sugar stock went up ten points as quick as the senate had decided upon the schedule. There are still no trustworthy in- dication of that “prosperity” which its “‘adyance agent” promised.

England has served notice on the Sultan of Turkey that Great Britain will under no circumstances consent to the eession of Thesealy.

We are informed by the papers that in the make up of the faculty of the state university not a single teacher is a Missourian. This doesn’t speak well for either the university or the state.

Hampton's inveterate enemies called upon the President and pleaded that the gal- lant old soldier be retained. Mr. McKinley promptly declined their request. His refuse! is the more significant because Gen. Hampton was a leader of the gold men who left their party to elect McKivley.— Kansas City Times. K. C. Star.—One of the greatest tariff speeches on record was the following, delivered by William Pitt in the British House of Peers: “My lords and gentlemen: Te levy a di- rect tax of 7 per cent is a dangerous experiment in a free country and may incite revolt; but there is a method by which you can tax the last rag from the back and the last bit from the mouth without causing a murmur against high taxes, and that is to tax a great many articles of deily use and necessity so indi- rectly that the people will pay them and not know it; their grumbling then will be of hard times, but they will not know that the hard times are caused by taxation ~ C. A. Loomas, of Chillicothe, the republican candidate for congress in the second district, defeated by Robt. Bodine, has lost his influence in the distribution of patronage in his distzict with the Washington authorities. Mr. Loomas failed to get to Congress but it has been said that he has not failed in conducting a brokerage business in putting his “O. K.” stamp on in- dorsement papers for office-seekera, and his endorsements will not be honored in the future, unless he clears up the charges filed with the post office department at Washing- ton, charging him with eelling his patronage. The fact that Mr. Loomas has been caught dealing out post Offices in his district to the highest bidder is conclusive evidence that it was fortunate for the district and state in general that Mr. Loomas was defeated. Het Words by Senater Mills. Washington, D.C, June 9.—The Senate began to-day the debate on the sugar schedule of the Dingley bill. Following out their caucus compact the republicans will not explain nor defend the schedule. They will sit passive under demo. cratic fire. That's their game and they sre playing it on every schedule. “While the republicans may sit silent in the senate snd refuse to ex- plain or defend their tariff bill.” said Senator Mills of Texas, “we can appeal to the tribunal of ths people and we will win. There will not be @ passage left for the republicans to stand on. We will carry Ohio next fall and the next house of represen tatives will be overwhelmingly dem- ocratic. But,” said Mr. Mills, “our party ought to stand togethar. We ought not tobe stampeded by the appeals of the lumber men or the borax men or any other sort of men into any agreement for bigh duties I have been through a storm in my state, which is one of the greatest wool growing states in the Union, ever since I supported the cause of free wool, but believing that I was right, I have not wavered. Tho ef- feet of this tariff bill upon the people will be seen, however, not in this high taxation, but in the way it but- tresses and fortifies trusts of all kinds. Some of these days this eort ef legislation will have to cease or we will see a revolution in this coun- try. The people will not stand it. Driven to the wall by the combina- tions of money power, they will find a leader and we shall see another Coxey’s army—but it will be an army,’ added Senator Mills, “which will earry guns and use them with a will.” Minnesota Cyclone. Mason City, Io. June 10—At 6:50 o'clock a cyclone struck north- west of Lyle, Minn.. taking a south- easteriy course. Several people killed and a great many injured. It tore out all houses and other buildings in its course, and the ter- ritory is now bare. It is said several people were killed in the country. The storm was about haifa mile in width. All telegraph lines north are “shake up” talked of should be put | into execution. down and box cars on sidings were | smashed into kindling. WAITING FOR PROSPERITY’S WAVE. Vermont Colonel Says It Hasn’t Struck His Section Yet. | New York, June 14.—Col. Bradley |B. Smalley, democratic national jcommitteeman from Vermont and collector of the port of Burlington, }was at the Fifth Avenue hotel yes- terday. He wason his way home from Washington, where he had been in consultation with Secretary Gage and other Treasury officiale. When questioned as to the business conditions in New England, he said: “In my own state no more deplor- able business conditions have existed since 1850. Trade is stagnant. No one appears to have any money. The farmera have no sale practically for their products. Thousands are begging for employment, with little or no hope to work at anything like living wages. The same people who demanded a change from Cleveland to McKinley are now as vigorously demanding achange from McKinley. I was a gold democrat, but Iam frank to say that were Bryan to bs nominated for the Presidency to-day he would sweep the country. “What assurance have we that the new tariff will eradicate the evils from which we euffer? While in Washington I tried to fiad out when final action would be taken on the bill. I was told that Tom Reed and his republican friends will never ac cept the Senate amendments, espe cially those affecting th3 sugar trust. I was also told that the President himeelf bas given it to be under- stood that the Dingley bill, as origin- ally framed, must ba sent to him for approval. If this be true, how long will ths deadlock between Senate and House continue? “Currency reform? I heard noth- ing about it in Washington. If they do nothing at this or next session of Congress, I predict that long before McKinley finishes his present term he will have an opportunity to pass upon a free silver bill, for the next House will be democratic. There is a free silver majozity in the Senate to-day.” TRUST WINS EASILY. Eatire Sagar Schedule Palled Through by the Senate. Washington, D. C., June 15.—The Sugar trust and all the big and little trusts have demonstrated their abso- lute control over the Republicen Senate. As drawn by the trust, the sugar echedulo was agreed to by the senate; and the Pettigrew anti trust amendment, which threatened to curtail trust activity and lessen trust profite, was promptly laid on the table. Senator McEnery of Louisiana was one democrat who voted for the sugar sckedule and against the anti- trust amendment. By the same token he is probably the only mem- ber on that side who will vote for the trust dictated measure on its final passage. The senators from the south who voted for protection to southern interests local to their state, will not vote for the tariff measure asa whole, but the trusts do not care. Their end has been gained. The senate made a great stride forward to-day by completing the consideration of the sugar sched- ule of tbe tariff bill, except the pro- vision relating to Hawaii, which went over. This schedule has been the storm center of the entire bill, and with it disposed of there is better pros pect for speedy action on the bill as awhole. The first paragraph of the sugar schedule has served to bring out all the speeches and the test votee, and when this was prased early to-day the other paragraphs of the echedule were agreed to without further opposition. As agresd to, the schedule places on sugar not above No. 16 Duteh standard 1 per cent per peund and .03 of a cent for every degree above 75; and on sugar above No. 16 Dutch standard 1.95 cents per pound, but on sugars test- ing below 87 degrees 1-10 cent per pound shall be deducted. The other provirions of the schedule relate to maple sugar, maple syrup, candy ete. Only one yea and nay vote was taken during the day, that on the amend- ment of Mr. Lindsay, of Kentucky. to make the rate 1.8 cents per pound on sugar above No. 16 Dutch stand- ord. The amendment was defeated 32 to 35. Mr. Pettigrew’s amendment re- lating to trusts was taken up and discussed at length. It developed considerable divergence of views on both sides of the chamber, the two Alabama senators, Mesers. Morgan and Pettus, joining Mr. Hoar in op- position Mr. Allison finally tested the sense of the senate by moving to table the amendment, which mo- tion prevailed, yeas 35, nays 32, democrats, Morgan and EcEnery, voting with the republicans to table, and thus turning the scale against the amendment. } ' } When a wo) man goes to a hospital for an opera- tion, she realizes at jast the mistake she has made in disregarding what she thought were trifling symptoms.

Smith Wrecked by Dynamite. Leavenworth, Kas. June 11.—A dynamite bomb was exploded in the residence of Gov. Andrew J. Smith of the National Soldiers’ Hcms here at 4 o'clock this morning, and asa result Mrs. Smith is seriously injur- ed, and had a miraculous escape from death. The explosion all but demolished the Governor's beautiful residence, aroused the residents of the city end houeces trembled as if undergoing an earthquake shock. The explosion was directly beneath Mrs. Smith's bed chamber. Berides being cut and bru'sed by broken glaes and pieces of flying bric a brac and furniture, ahe was completely prostrated by the feightful shock, and is now in a precsrious condition. Gov. Smith and their daughter, Miss Daisy, oxcupied roems on the second floor, and were far enough ramoved from the explosion to escape tho ser- ious consquences suffered by Mrs. Smith. RESIDENCE WRECKED. The residence is a scene of wreck- age. The brick walls are torn and cracked, one side being almost com- pletely blown out. The windows are ehattered and the debris scattar- ed over the ground for a distance of several rods. The interior is ascene of confusion and destruction, with broken brie a-brac and furnishings utterly wreeked. The report of the explosion was distinctly heard in this city, three tailes away, and many residents were areused by the shock, which was not unlike the trambling produced by an earthquake. Veterans in the bar- recks were trown from their cots and [a panie was with difficuity prevented. OME MAN ABRESTED. Gov. Smith attributes the attempt on his lifa and that of his family as direct result of the persecution that hes been waged against him during the past five or six years. The vet- erans at the home are sta-ding by him mapfally and swear they will lynch the wretch if he is caught. Joseph W. Oliver, a dishanorbly disebarged veteran, has been arrest- ed by the police of this city. Cir- cumstantial evidence agains: him is strong. He had just come to his room after being out all night. His clothes were bedraggled und he said he was sorry the explosion had not killed the Goveracr, as be deserved such a fate. Oliver bears a. rough reputation. The Archie Murderer in Jail. E. B Soper, the man who murder- ed his wife and children in Archie, Cass county, six years ago and fled, bas been returned to the scene of his crime and is now safely locked up in the jail at Harriscnvils. Of- ficer Lowe said when he arrested Soper in Oregon, and putting a pistol in his face called to him to throw up his hands, Soper almost fell and exclaimed, “My God, ater -| called him Sandy. = {oare for myself. all these years at last I am found out.” He made no attempt to deny his identity and said that he was willing |to coms baek. It was a long, weary tive daya’ journey. Lowe handcuffed | himself to his prisoner and gave him | no opportunity to escape. He arrived in Kansas City with him yesterday }forenoon and turned him over to | Sheriff Woolridge here this evening. This Soper is a most insignificant looking villain, and, like Byron's Corsair, is the mildest-mannered man that ever scuttled ship. He is under sized, homely, and the rims that border his cruel blue eyes are red. Hie hair is light and his mus- tache is red. In the West everyone During tbe trip he cried at timee, but most of the time was perfectly composed and as -|ready to laugh at little things as anyone. Stli he expects to hang. He says so. At Kansas City Mason Gardiner of Clay county heppened to meet! him. “Hello, Bates; they’re bringing you back,” ssid Gardiner, who has known Soper from childhood. “What | are they going to do with you?” “Hang me, { guess,” said Soper. “Tam almost glad I was captured after all,” he said on thetrain to day. “It has been horrible the life I have led. When I would shut my eyes at night I could see the whole scene acted over again. I thought after I got married I would be happy again, but it was just the same. I do not I would just as soon they would hang me as not, only 1 know 1t would break my poor old mother’s heart, and would be hard on my other relatives.” Soper talks about the probability of hie being huvg with almost as much unconcern as though he was talking about a stranger. He does not want to hang, howeyer. Quite naturally, he is not over anxious to dangle on arope. He said that he intended to get a lawyer and try in every way to get off with a life sen- tence. While Soper talks freely upoa al- most every other subject there is one thing concerning which he will not say a word, that is in regard to the fate of his 2-yearold child, which he stole from its mother eight weeks ago. Nothing has been heard of it since he took it away, and it is almost certain that he killed it He dces not deny that it is dead, but refuses to make any explanation. There is every reason te believe that these are not all the victims of the little red-eyed monster. It is almost certain that his first crime was the murdar of bis tather when he was a young man, living upon the family farm in Clay county. He and his father quarreled one day and that night he was assassinated. Suspicion pointed strongly to the son, but he was not arrested for the crime. That be might not get away however, he was charged with horse stealing and made Ji:tle defense for this Heserved two years in the penitentiary. He said today that ha did not steal the horse Soper seems to have vented his murderous instinct only on bis rela tives. He is a man without any small vices, and is always industri- ous. He talks fairly wel’, and be bas read a little. He isa believer in spiritualism. Soper is not erazy. He asked eagerly to-day about the term of court and the probability of a special grand jury, snd has care- fully weighed every possible chance in his favor.

Londoa, June 11.—Advices from Constantinople say that Sir Philip Currie, the British ¢mbassador, has served notice on the Sultan that Great Britian will under no cireum- stances consent io the cession of Thessaly. This does not represent the sentiment ofall the powers, as Germany is entirely willing that Turkey should keep the conquered province. Russia stands with Ger- many on this point. Should Turkey decide to defy Great Briticn, relying on the eupport of the Drel Kalser- bund, the castern question will as- sume an acute phas».
