Austin, Tex , Feb. 11.—The entire City Council, consisting of twenty- two Aldermen, has been ordered to appear before United States Judge McOormick here,” on February 28, and show cause why the members should not be jailed for contempt of court in refusing to carry out an order of the Federal court. The affair is causing considerable exsite- ment in municipal circles. Attorney general Crow has handed down an opinion upon the request of the state superintendent of public schools, in which he takes the posi- tion that religious worship of any kind can not be conducted in the public schools of Missouri. Read ing the Bible or repeating the Lord's prayer he considers as coming un- der that head. The opinion is based principally upon that section of our constitution which provides that “no person can be compelled to erect, support or attend any place of wor ship,” and that the tax paid for the maintainance of our public schools | ig an involuntary tax, one which the citizens are by the provisions of law | eompelled to pay. Thus he becomes “compelled to erect, support and maintain a place of worship,” if such religious worship is suffered ina public school. This opinion is far reaching in its effect, as a great many, if not the majority of public schools in the state are opened up of a morning by some form of wor- ship, The two democratic papers in Butler are divided on the question; the cen- tral committeeman from this town- ship favors a primary, and we might add, the committeeman from Osage towzship, the largest in the county, favors a primary. Now, we would like to ask of this “Bryan Democrat,” if he is really a democrat, why he went to the Free Press, a middle of-the-road populist paper, that villified Mr. Bryan throughout the campaign, and op- poses everything democratic, to con- trol our democratic central commit- tee? Possibly he is the same party who is sending marked copies of the Rockville Reflex to the commit- tee with marked articles favoring the primary system. In truth the primary advocates are getting in sorry straits when they appeal to the Free Press to champion their cause before a dem- ocratic body. We stated our position on the destroyed. The explosion shook the whole city. The windows were broken in all the houses. The cor- respondent of the Associated Press says he has conversed with several of the wounded sailors and under- stands from them that the explosion took place while they were asleep, so that they can give no particulars. The time of the senate at Wash- ington is being taken up with the Kansas Pacific railroad steal. It is estimated the government will lose by the sale of this road seven million dollars. Senator Harris, of Kansas, introduced a resolution Monday, calling on the Attorney General for an explanation of the Kansas Pacific steal, but was unable to discuss it because of the objection of Senator Chandler. Mr Harris said in connection with the resolution that the reason for its presentation at the time was that the Attorney General told him less than a week ago that he proposed to re- proposition of primary or convention very clearly a tew weeks ago. We are not opposed to the primary sys- tem of nominating candidates. Fi- nancially it is worth more to the paper to have the party hold a pri- mary. But we believe that the best interests of the party demands a convention this time. SHOULD BE REPRESENTED. In commenting upen the action of the county court in refusing to make an appropriation to have our county suitably represented at the Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha next summer, the Free Press seys: “All that was asked was two or three hundred dollars with which to pay men who should do the work of collecting, arranging, preparing and delivering for shipment a fair exhibit of the natural and manufac. tured products of Bates county, and whatever freight charges might have tobemet. *~ * * If our people properly appreciated what the Trans- Mississippi Exposition means to us, we believe that a sufficient subsorip- tion could be raised to place Bates county in the Missouri building with credit to our people and profit to our county. The drift nas been for several years, and is now, from the bleak northwest to the southward. It is flowing over and around us into Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Missie- sippi and Alabama. It is safe to say that three-fourths of the new settlers of Bates county within the last three years have come direct from the Dakotas, Iowa and Nebraska. Omaha is located in the heart of this terri- tory, and millions of people in the northwest will visit this exposition, and will investigate the exhibits of the southlands with a view of deter mining where they shall go. Asa business proposition a creditable show of Bates county produets, her resources and possibilities, at this time will be worth thousands of dol- lars to this county.” The Bates County Record says: “Capt. Allen of the Tixes, Capt. Tygard, Judge Levy ard a dozen other citizens appeared before the county court on Tuesday last and asked that body to appropriate a j}reasonable sum of money to pay for collecting and caring for an exhibit of Bates county products at the deem the first mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific and have a re- eeived appointed for the road. “We were surprised yesterday” said Mr. Harris, “to learn that the Attorney General had decided to abandon his expressed plan of re deeming the first mortgage bonds of the of the Kaneas Pacific and hav ing a receiver appointed for the road by thie deal if it be true that it hes entered into, the government will lose $6,624,107 interest due. To Contest Hanna’s Seat. Cleveland, O, Feb. 11 —Mayor McKisson, acting upon the report of the Senate bribery investigating committee, announces his intention of contesting the seat of United States Senator M. A. Hanna. Last evening he sent to the secre- tary of the United Ststes Senate formal notice of his contest. He bases his contest upon the allegation that Hanna was not legally elected, because he or his friends used ille gitimate means to s2cure the neces sary votes. The fact that the mayor bad taken the step was kept quiet, butit leaked out from an authoritative source. The law prescribes that a contest must be filed within thirty days from the date of the election, and the notice will therefore reach Washington just in the nick of time. IN A DISSECTING ROOM. Bereaved Mother Makes a Frightful Discov- ery at Columbia. Columbia, Mo., Feb 15.--A fright- fully tragic scene was enacted this evening in the dissecting room of the Missouri University. The body of a comely and sbapely girl, 17 years of age, lay on the dissecting table. About a dozen medical stu- dents were clustered around her, knives in hand. As dissecting was about to begin, loud voices were heard at the door. One of the etu- dents was heard imploring some one not to enter The next moment a frenzied womsn rushed into the dis secting rocm She took one glance atthe body and shrieked: “That's ber; that’s her! Good God, I would know the poor child enywhere.” “Who are you?” asked one of the students. “I am Anna Emmerson,” screamed the woman, “and that is Trans-Mississippi Exposition to be} jheld at Omaha, the coming summer. | the court decided it would make no} appropriation, as the law did not! permit them to do so. | Hattie, my daughter.

The students offered to deliver the body to the mother at once, and contributed to buy a coffin. She was persuaded to leave the scene, with the understanding that tbe body would be prepared for the grave and delivered to ber to mor- row. The students say the body was recently secured by them ata cost of $2 from the county poor farm. The girl, who was hopelessly ineane, died of pneumonie.

Old Friends Turn From Him as Politically Dead.—Knowing His Weakness En- emies Compass His Undoing. Washington, D. C., Feb. 14 —The appointment of Major William War- ner, as United States attorney for the Western district may be sent to the Senate to-morrow. If not made at that time it will be one day this week. Attorney General Griggs was with the president when Meesrs Haff and Smith called to-day with telegrams from Mejor Warner an- nouncing his acceptance of the prof- fered appointment. “Shall I make out the appointment to day Mr. President?” said General Griggs. “Never mind about it for the pres- ent,” was the answer. “The com- mission of the incumbent does not expire until the 19th of this month.” Major Warner's appomtment may prevent the appointment of W. L Kessinger as surveyor of the port, although Kessing«r was certain until this latest developments. Mayor Silver of Jefferson City called to learn of his condition. They will aecompany the body in a special car Sunday morning over the Wabash railway to Mexico, Mo., where it will lie in the Presbyterian church until Monday, when the Supreme court members will arrive to attend the funeral. WaS A NATIVE OF MISSOURI. Judge Macfarlane was born Jan'y 21, 1837, in Callaway county, Mo. He was educated in the common schools and at Richland academy, and was graduated from Westmin ster college, at Fulton. He taught school in his early manhood, and worked on his father’s farm in sum- mer from 1856 to 1865. He studied law and was admitted to practice by A. H. Buckner, then a circuit judge. This was in 1861, but during the troublous times of the Civil War he did not practice his profession. In 1865 he went to Mexico and began the practice of his profession, and his rise was steady. He took no part in the Civil War; voted for Bell and Everett in 1860; from that time wntil thie he has been a firm and ua compromising Democrat, and always voted the ticket straight. He was united in marriage to Miss Alice Orear of Boone county, and bada family. Judge Macfarlane was probate judge of Audrain county from 1871 to 1874, but had mever held any purely political office. He was ap- pointed supreme judge by Governor Francis November 25, 1890, and nominated and elected to that posi- tion by the democratic party in 1892 Few abler men have ever sat upon the Supreme bench of this State than Macfarlane. As a lawyer he was aman of the highest excel- lence and ability.
