Chicago, Ill., May 4.—Women’s clubs have started a crusade against the wearing of corsets. Members of several organizations will dispense with all restraining articles of cloth- ing and adopt the Grecian costume.

We invite a careful inspection of the official statement of the receipts Times. It shows a balance in the treasury of the snug sum of $43,- 783 96. It shows that the receipts from all seurces were $40,121.43; the amount expended $32,881.20 ora net saving for the year of $7,240.23. It shows that the finances of Bates county, under democratic officials and a democratic court, have been managed wisely, judicieusly and economieally. While our sister coun- ties are laboring under debts, their warrants goisg to protest andina bad shape generally, the Bates county treasury is overflowing and a nice balance being added each year We say the democratie party of Bates county has a right to be proud of this showing, and we feel like congratulating the members of the old court, Judges Graves, Kem. per and Coleman, in performing their duties well, faithfully and economically, and the splendid be gioning of the new court which has had charge since the first of January last. In making this saving the court has not been niggardly in the care The Northwester Plow Manufac- turers association met at Chicage Monday and unanimously voted to advance the selling price of plows 15 per cent. The farmers alone use plows and the farmers will foet the bill. Jefferson City, May 5—Governor Stephens yesterday issued a cattle quarantine proclamation in order te protect the cattle industry of the state. No cattle from Texas, North- ern Arkansas and many other South- ern and Western states will be per- mitted to enter this state! The republican trusts have in- creased the prices of your cut nails, barbed wire, picks, axes, shovels, stoves and in fact nearly everything in the hardware line. Republican newspapers say it is all right—you ought to pay it. They believe ina rich government and a poor people. —Casaville Demoernt. eo The House at Jefferssn City has adopted the following resolution: “Resolved, that we will adjourn when we get through with the work we wore sent here to do, regardless of the behest of any man er set of men.” If the house adheres to it, the legislature will not adjourn until the work of revision shall be com- pleted, which will be abeut the last of the month Topeka, Kas , May 6.—A compila- tion made to-day by the Adjutant General of the Kansas Militia shows that just 5 per cent of the yolunteers of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment have lost their lives in the Philip- pine campaign. Of the 1,100 men who joined the regiment, fifty five have died either in battle or by dis ease. The list includes a captain and twe lieutenants, all of whom were killed in action. The St. Clair County Democrat wants the office to seek the man, and among the gentlemen mentioned who would fill the bill it mentions Judge W. W. Graves. Judge Graves would make a most excellent gover- nor, there is no denying that fact, but he is just now serving the people of its insane and paupers, and in keeping in repair and building bridges and in keeping up the roads, as the expenditures on these funds will show. During the year a general election was held, which is always expensive. The democratic pariy is entitled to the contidence of the people so leng as they continue to manage affairs in this manner. In a delegate convention held in the opera house in Osceola, 175 rep- resentatives of the taxpayers in eyery township decided by a vote of 93 to 83 te permit their county judges to submit the question of compromise of the debt to a vote of the people. This proposition pro- vides that the question to be voted upen shall be this: Shall the railroad bond debt be ccmpromised for $231,000? The eonventien was called to order by Marvey McKinley, a first cousin of President McKinley, a populist, and for years a bitter opponent of tke holders of the coumty bonds. He was ready to eempromise to day how He stated the case as fol- lows: “St. Clair county veted bonds to the amount of $250,000 in 1870 to aid the building ef a branch of the Tebo and Neosho railroad from Clintomn to Osceola. Afterward the county redeemed $19,000 of the bonds, leaving $231,000 outstand- ing. The company that got the bonds went broke and never built the road. You see then that we don’t owe a cert, but we are getting tired of having our county ceurt hiding out in the brush and paying them $2a day for dodgiag United States marshals. The bondholders want $1,500,000, ceunting interest. Judge Philips says we ought to settle fer $400,000, but nobody in this county will pay more than the face value of the old bonds.” The report and findings of the military court appointed to investi- gate the charges made by Major Gen. Miles, that the beef supplied to the army during the war with Spain was unfit for the use of the troops, has been made publie, and of this judicial district as judge, and | in substance is as follows: they could not spare him. When the time comes for his further premo- tiov, the supreme bench will be about his size and, in fact, bis friends are already mentiening his name for that office. We are in receipt of an invitation to attend the Anti-Trust Free Silver Democratic dinner, to be given by the democrats of St. Louis under the auspices of the Jefferson Club, in the Coliseum ef the exposition building on Thursday evening, May 25,1899. Hon. William J. Bryan national note will enunciate the un- yieldiag principles of the democratic party. Covers will be laid for 1200 guesis. The invitation is signed by Lon V. Stephens, chairman; E.

Kirksville Mystery Solved, Kirksville, Mo, May 5.—The por- tion of a woman’s scalp which was found in a gunny sack in Bear Creek, three miles from Kirksville, yester- day, has been identified as that of Mrs. Panshott, who was killed in the tornado of Thursday, April 27 The children's clothing, which was also found in the sack, is said to have belonged to the children of Mrs. Panshott, and were torn from their dead bodies by the force of the wind. The mangled bodies were placed in asxck and prepared for burial, say the relatives of Mre. Panshott, but somebody stole the ghastly package. Finding the contents worse than worthiess, the thief evidently dropped his load into the creek, where it was found by movers. Sheriff Blackledge is convinced that this is the solution of the mys- tery, and the investigation has been dropped.
