Mies Fannie Davenport, the noted actress, is reported to be seriously ill at her summer home in Duxbury, Maseachusetts. She is euffering from nervous prostration and heart toubles and her physicians fear death may occur at any time. Capt. Capron has the distinction of being the man who fired the first artillery shot in the battle at Santi ago. He commands Light Battery E, First Artillery, U S. A. His only son, Capt. A. K.

About 1,000 men are effected and work was stopped ona large num- ber of buildings. If an agreement is not reached ina few more days 4,000 more men will be called out. A host of democrats from all parts of the county called Monday and congratulated us upon the course of the Tives in the Judicial contest. That while it was defending Mr Graves from an unjust and unmerit- ed fight, it wasat all times courteous to his opponents, speaking only good words of them We assured them all that it was the only course the Tres would pursue in a demo cratic contest. The corporations must stamp their own biils of lading Washing- ton dispatches announce that the stamp representing the war tax on express matter must be affixed to bills of ladiog by the express com panies and not by the individual shipper. The express companies undertook to dodge this war stamp act by compelling the shipper to stamp the companies’ own receipts for packages shipped As soon as the non-combatants left the city of Santiago, the dis- patches say the Spanish soldiers began a systematic plundering of the dwellings vacated under the pretext that they were hunting something to eat. Outgoing refugees were ailowed to take away a little, but no more than could be carried on the person, so the road leading through the American lings is filled with unhappy wayfarers. Delicate women wearing their dearesi fineries and with lots of money in their pockets are fording streams and resting often by the roadside, having to beg food frem the soldiers. The Red Cross society is doing all in its power to alleviate their sufferings, but the task is a great one, as there are thousands of these people who have been driven from the fated city to escapes the fierce bombardment by the American army.

The esample and words of Captain Phillips was a magnificent sermon. men. | TO OUR ST. CLAIR BRETHREN. The democratic party of Bates county sends greeting to brother democrats of St. Clair and presents for their consideration the name of its favorite son, the Hon. W. W. Graves for Circuit Judge. The overwhelming majority he received in our ccnvention over his distin- guished opponents show the high regard entertained for him at home asa citizen and lawyer as well asa true, loyal and working democrat. He is well known to the citizens of your county, having practiced law at your bar for a number of years, and while his legal attainments have attracted your admiration, his genial manners, honorable demeanor and whole souled, generous nature has found response in the breasts of many and he claims among you his warmest friends. In urging the nomination of Mr. Graves we do not underestimate the claims of the other gentlemen, whose names will go before that conven- tior. But we claim that in legal ability he isthe peer of any lawyer in the state He possesses an ana lytical mind, is a close and hard stu dent, with clear and precise ideas and the gift of making all points clear and distinct to his auditors He possesses a judicial tempera- ment, with strong discriminating powers. He is fair, honest and hon orable and would make a judge that would be a pride to the poeple of his circuit. Weregard him as the coming man from this section of the state and predict that in time he will wear the ermine of our highest judicial office. Give Mr. Garves this nomination and the people of the circuit nor the democratic party will ever have cause to regret it. A Wife Marderer'’s Sentence, Madison, Wis., July 8.—Fred Rodman Westfield, the wife mur- derer, was brought here today to escape a mob. He was taken imme- diately before Judge Siebecker, in| whose circuit the crime was com-| mitted. Rodman pleaded guilty to} murder in the first degree and was | sentenced te imprisonment fer life. July 7, the anniversary of the crime each year, is to be spent in| solitary confinement. He will be in! Prison within thirty-four hours of of the commission of the crime When asked by the court if he had anything to say Rodman replied last advices from Admiral Dewey received here were dated July 4./ As they make no mention of trouble! with Germany, the rumor that he| fired on a German vessel is pro-| nounced baseless.

Nothing was done with the fusion question. Declared themselves the real People’s party operative mandate Adjourned sine die die The split between the two factions of the People’s party of the state of Missouri is complete. Notwithstanding the assertion of certain of the rank and file that a reconciliation may soon be effected, leaders on both sides say this is impossible It would be necessary, they assert, to make a complete change of the official rosters of both divisions before a truce could be patched up, To such a proposition, were it possible to maks one, the friends of the various leaders, it is claimed, would hardly agree The lockout at the convention hall of the Middle-of-the-Roaders by the fusionists has a tendency to widen the breach.
