The Missouri press association meets in Kaneas City August 15th and 16th. If Gen. Alger will only talk he! might be able to tell a good many tales out of school. ————— The coat makers and cloakmakers of New York to the number of seve- val thousand are preparing to go out on a strike, aays the New York News. The newspapers have disposed of Alger and now they are after Otis’ sealp. If the general is not made 9? iren he had just as well threw up the sponge and come home. It is predicted the census will show seventy-seven million people in the United States in 1900 If there are not too many of these out of a job it will be a great showing. The prosperity wave has reached the Pacific coast. Every shingle millin that state has been closed. What has become of the McKinley heory for “opening the mills” in- stead of opening the mints? Gen. Funston ‘will come home with his regiment, the 20th Kansas Volunteers. General Otis says the volunteers are not discouraged and are willing to remain and fight. If this be true, what is bringing Fun- ston home. an The beef combine says prosperity is the reason beef steak is so high. Tf this be true why has not the same stroke of prosperity raised the price of beef cattle to the farmer. It's a poor rule that won't work both ways. Tom Akins, chairman of the re- publican state committee, is seeking the nomination for governor. Col. B. ©. Kerens, the party boss, does not look on his candidacy with favor, and on this account a coolness has sprung up between the two. ——o_—o_o It is said the lack of rain in usual quantities is causing much delay in waaturing crops in Cuba, partieularly that of sugar. Tobacco appears to bea drag on the market and large quantities of last season’s crop re main in the hands of buyers who have been unable to find purchasers at profitable prices. The trend of the Free Press for a Jong tims has been to direct most of it’s ammunition against the demo. eratic party. One of his apologists said it was because the democrats were in power in Bates county. But Atkeson in his Free Press thinks that the demoeratic party should be cleaned up, just wiped off the map, and after that he will attemd te republicans. It was just after the last election that he sorrowfully | buried the populists. Now we would wipe up the democrats with.

At. is a funny fellow, and you can’t always just put your finger on him, even in a school fight. Col. Charles H. Morgan, recently second in command ia the Fifth | Missouri, who has served his coun- try acceptably in two wars and in congress as well, has intimated to the president a willingness to go to the Philippines with ons of the new | volunteer regiments in case it is thought his services can be utilized to advantage. Oolenel Morgan is a patriot and a soldier whose recogni- tion southwest Missouri would ap- plaud with practical unanimity, so says the Kansas City Journal. A Substantial Victery For the People. Mexico Intelligencer. The result of the prosecution in- stituted by Attorney-General Crow and Insurance Commissioner Orear to compel the insurance companies to respect the anti-trust laws of Mis- souri 1s a substantial victory for the people of this state. There is no disposition in Missouri to harrass corporations or to impose unjust burdens upon them, but there is a widespread, healthy senti- ment in favor of teaching the in- surance combine which has ridden rough-shod over the statutes of the state and over the interests of the people, a wholesome lesson. All intelligent citizens recognize the necessity for insurance and no one wants to deprive the companies of just compensation, but their arbi- trary methods and in many instances excessive rates, together with their flagrant defiance of the plain provi- sions ef the laws of the state, have fully justified the state officials in the vigorous steps taken against the insurance combine. Under the procesdings brought by General Crow and Oommissioner Orear the seyenty-three companies in the combine must pay a five of $1,000 each or cease to do business in Missouri. Oonsiderable as this sum 1s it of smallimport to the state compared to the beneficial effect the prosecution will have on the future conduct of the companies. There has been no more defiant violator of the law in this state than the insurance combine and both Gen. Crow and Mr. Orear deserve special commendation for the cour- age and intelligence they have shown in driving the combine to re- spect the rights of the public. Their Syeapathy tor Alger. Detroit, July 24.—It was decided republicans are in power in the na- ‘tion, and At. doesn’t seem to appre: -siate that, or the above explanation is wrong. We think that personally yesterday to escort ex-Secretary Alger to the city hall on his return WHEELER SAILS FOR MANILA, The Yartar Witha Part of the Nine- teenth Left Monday Morning. San Francisco, July 24—The transpert Tartar, with Gen. Wheeler aboard, sailed for the Philippines this morning. She was to have sail- ed yesterday but was delayed by the late arrival of the Nineteenth infan- try. The first and third battallions of the Nineteenth were booked for the Tartar, and they left Camp Meade last Monday for trains, The first section containing companies G and D, met with an accident near Suisun yesterday, which caused a delay of several hours though no one was injured. The Nineteenth regiment is the largest regiment injthe United States army, having 1,800 men. It is the first to be completely recruited un- der the new organization of 128 men to a company. General Wheeler was accompanied by his daughter. Besides the regulars 175 reeruits will go on the transport. The Newport and Ohio are sched uled to sail tomorrow for Manila but it is doubtful if either will get away. All depends on tbe arrival of the Second Battalion of the Nine- teenth regiment. Besides the latter will be divided between the two steamers about 1,600 recruits ELIHU ROOT APPOINTED SECRETARY OF WAR. Washington, July 22.—Elibu Root has been appointed Secretary of War. Mr. Root has accepted the port- folio through Senator Platt. The Senator came here prepared to urge Gen. Francis V. Greene, if a military man should be desired; Root, if an attorney should be want ed. He was authorized to accept on behalf of either. The President chose Root because he wanted a man qualified to decide the questions of civic government in the colonies which will arise. No claims except those from the State of New York were at any time considered. Senator Platt of New York held a long conference with the President last night and assured the Executive that, while Gen. Francis VY. Greene was the first choice of himself, the appointment of Mr. Root would not be unwelcome. It is understood that the new Secretary will not take active charge of the purely military matters of the office, leaving these to Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn and Adjutant General Corbin, while he will con cern himself with the larger preb- lems arising on account of our new possessions Mr. Root is expected to enter on bis new duties in a very short time.

Waterloo, Ia, July 25 —Ex-Gov- ernor Boies, who 1s in the city, was asked for his opinion regarding the proper man for the demgeratic here and to give him a reception, followed by a meeting, probably in standard bearer for next year.

Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, Javora sending Gen. Miles to the Philippines and recalling Gen. Otis. He says there is a strong feeling among the people that Gen. Otis has not pushed the campaign in the Philppines as vigorously as he should, that the people would like te see Gen. Miles sent to the Philip- pines and placed in command, as there is general confidence in his abilities as a soldier and campaigner. Mr. Bryan has written a strong letter urging Kentucky democrats to stand by their nominee for gov- ernor. He points out that Mr Goebel supported the Chicago plat- form and ticket and adds that to de- feat him would be bat to encourage the republicans in that state, possi- bly give them a United States senator | and that nothing could be done for currency reform or against trusts so long as the senate remained republi ean.

Pingree during yesterday's meeting, favored the idea of holding & genuine “indignation” meeting fol- lowing the public reeeption. Mayor Mayburg raised the questien whether such expressions would net embarrass and displease General Alger rather than etherwise, but the vailed. Sick Seldiers Return. San Francisco, Cal, July 24.— The transport Morgan City, which has been converted into a hospital ship, arriyed teday from Manila, having en board 473 sick and eon- valescent soldiers. The vessel start- ed with 476, but three died on the voyage. Thess succumbed to dys- entery, the disease with which most of them are sfilicted. All of those on board were ill jwhen the steamer left Manila, but the departure from the tropicai eli- |mate and the sea air so benefited the invalids that on arrival here only ‘twenty-two were unable to leave “What, in your opinion, should be the cardinal plank in the demo- cratic platform of 1900?” was asked. “The money qaestion will un- doubtedly be the main issue in the coming eampaign. To win the dem- ocrats must come together on some basis on the money question, and being united on this and opposing a continuance of the slaughter that is now being carried on in the Phil- ippines. we will certainly carry the governor's mass meeting idea pre-} day. I shudder when my mind turns to those poer Filipinos, who we went to meet as friends and are now shooting down like degs. ¥am confident that the Ameriean people will never tolerats any such outrage and such disgrace if the matter be fairly put before them. Perbaps the coming congress will catch the drift of public sentiment and pass such measures as will grant to the Philippine islands independ- ence as seen asa suitable form of government can be framed. In that event one form of the coming campaign will be materially changed. As it now stands, how- ever, we are going directly opposite to the broad principles upon which our government was founded and |must be maintained. Ican not see |aey great obstacle in the way of an independent government. Again be- their berths.

Txompson. “National Committeman from Ne- braska.” Appended is a statement signed by “Coin” Harvey: The national committee meeting was Satisfactory. Its organization is in the hands of Mr. Bryan and the/ cause he represents. W. H. Harvey.” Net tor Working Men, It seems to be the opinion of most men who haye been to the Philippines that the islands will not} prove to be an inviting field for im- migration, at least from the United States. The population already there is sufficient for such work as is likely to be undertaken whenever peace and order are restored. There is so mueh competition that wages are very low, were low under Spanish rule, and will always be low. There may ba opportunity for capitalists to invest money, but they will be apt to employ native workmen for the most part Reports from Japan say that large numbers of Japanese are preparing to go to the Philippines when peace comes. They, perhaps, may succeed. Thousands of them have flocked to Hawaii. Few workmen of this coun- try can compete with Orientals in an Orienial climate. No workman who has a living job here will be wise to throw it up and seek another in Luzon.—Boston Herald. See a ShOW Storm in Summer? We never did; but we have seen the clothing at this time of the year so covered with dandruff that it looked as if it had been out ina regular snow- storm. No_need of this snowstorm. As the summer sun would melt the falling snow so will Ayer’s Hair Vigor melt these flakes of dandruff in the scalp. It goes further than this: it prevents their formation. It has still other properties: it will restore color to gray hair in just ten times out of every ten cases. And it does even more: it feeds and nourishes the roots of the hair. Thin hair becomes thick hair; and short hair be- comes long hair. We have a book on the Hair and Scalp. It is yours, for the asking. e benefits the Vigor, bout it.

But Ingersoll was also great in of polities. of the United States; an orator who had no superior and few equals in the world; a leading famed as the man who nominated James G. Blaine for the Presidency and always high in party councils. Rebert G. Ingersoll was born Aug. 24, 1833, in Dryden, Gates county, New York.

Both Fell ina Duel, Poplar Bluff, Mo., July 23.—Alex. Knight and Bill O’Brien fought a duel to the death at Fisk, eleven miles east, at 6 o'clock this morning It is eaid that O'Brien had staked Knight ina game of chance. This morning O’Brien asked him to return the money, and Knight refused, whereupon O’Brien took the money from him. Koight then claimed that O’Brien had robbedhim. This angered O'Brien, who drew a pistol and asked Knight if he had a “gun on him.” Knight claimed he had net, but could get one. O’Brien said “Get it, for I meun to kill you.” Knight got a revolver. Shortly afterward the two met in a saleon and began firing at short range. Both were killed. Their bodies were buried tkis evening at Ash Hill, Mo. Both were strangers in the county. Knight was married. Lynched Five Stalians. New Orleans, July 21.—A dis patch from Tallulab, La, saye: Five Italians were lynched there last night. The names are and John Ceranao.
