If Atkeson’s predictions of the d@ae calamity to befall Governor @tephens’ administration ere ona par with the other political prognos- tiestions he has been making ever aiace he has been an agitator in this state, then the Governor's adminis testion will go down in a halo of gory. Atkeson as a prophet is as mach a failure as Atkeson the politi- ian. The suicidal mania seems to have struck the city of Nevada. Two at- Seaapts in the past ten days have been made by its citizens to shufile ef this mortal coil. Robert Irons, at one time a wealthy business man ef bhat place, but who had met fre- wosnt financial reverses. tried the piste! route. Henry Allison plunged a knife into his neck because of yoverty and domestic difterences ee Andrew Carnegie, to demonstrate iis earnestness in his fight against *zpansion, offers to pay the $20,000,- 900 promised Spain, if this country will agree to allow the Filipinos Sheir independence. When doubts are expressed that any one indiyidual would pay such a stupendous sum, Mr. Carnegie said: “I am perfectly sevious in making this offer. I will pay the money with great readiness @ my proposition is accepted. I am wot trifling, and Iam not bluffing.” The St. Louis Republic tells a sery startling story of how crows attacked a St. Clair, Ills, farmer, who had been so indiscreet as to go put to scare them off his wheat field. He shot into them a few times when ‘bey turned on him and lacerated bia-head, face and hands and pecked out one of his eyes They cama at lim in drovee, led by one big fellew, and fhizrly overwhelmed him with Sheir numbers and vicious beake, when fortunately for him two St Louis hunters arrived on the scene and bombarded the flocks, scaring shem awsy. We have heard of poli ticians eating crow, but this is the rst time that we ever heard that srows would eat farmers. The silver in circulation in St. | Clair county, which was thought to be spurious, has been proven te bs genuine. The facts in the case, as given by the Cellins Advance are sbat Mr. Ohmart dug up a lot of sil ver coin on his farm that was dated trom 1854 to 1858, and was buried! Yoere during the civil war by John Young, who lived on the place at dbat time and was killed by Robert Fisher and a few others who tried vo rob him. He died without dis- slesing the hiding place of the money. Nothing more was known o3the hidden treasure until a few years ago, when Mr. Obmart found some money and paid off the mort gage on his farm. Subsequently at two or three different times and places he unearthed smaller quanti nies of the shining metal.

Jennings has been identified as Bill Ryan, one ofthe old Younger gang, sent up pardensd out by Gov. Morehouse He was also identified as the mys terious Evans in tha Leeds robbery, and the one who got away with the swag. These robbers are now con- fined ia the jail at Springtield, Mo, and the offisials are very positive that they ean convict them. The identifieation of Ryan as Evans has bad the eftect to strengthen the State's case against young Jesse James, under indictment for com- plicity in the Leed’s robbery. The following United States Sena- tors were elected Tuesday: Francis M. Cockrell, for Missouri; Cushman K. Davis, for Minnesota; Albert J. Beveridge, for Indiana; Henry Cabot Lodge, for Massachusetts. A big fight is on in Nebraska and the result is uncertain, though the republicans have eleven majority on joint ballot.

Nelson Dingley, congressman from Maine, chairman of tha Ways and Means committee, and father of the tariff bill, died in Washington, ov last Friday night, of pneumonia superinduced by an attack of the grip. He was governor of that state in 1874 5 and in Congress from 1881 By virtue of his position on tha com mittee he was leader of the republi cans en the floor of the House. He has left his imprint on the legislation of his country and was ranked among the great statesmen of thisage. He was born in Durham, Mo., Feby. 15, 1832 and was consequently in his 67th year. He had a remarkably clean record as a polition So far as we can leara the demo. crats of Bates county are for M. V Carroll for Labor Commissioner. He is not enly a former citizen of our county, but when the republicans and middle of-the-road populists tried to forma combination against the democrats at the last election, he came to the county and threw him self into the breach. He labored earnestly for the straight democratic ticket, and how effective were his efforts the splendid results show. He did as much as any one man to cement the silver forces in this sec tion of the State.
