SCORES DROWNED IN STEAMER COLLISION. Pacific Coasting Vessel, Walla Walla, Sunk After Running Into Un- known Iron Ship. Eureka, Cal., Jan. 3.—In the dark- ness of the early hours of Thursday morning the Steamer Walla Walla, flagship of Goodsell, Perkins & Co.'s Pacific line, with 64 passengers known to have boarded the ship at San Francisco, and a crew number- ing about 74, bound for British Columbia, metin eollision at4 o’clock an unknown iron ship. The Walla Walla was sunk. This morning the steamer Dispatch arrived at Eureka with 60 persons aboard, including Captain Hall, of the ill-fated steamer. Another vessel has arrived at Trini- dad with a number of rescued per- sons, said to be seyen or more. This would make the death list 71, though it is possible that some of the rafts and boats may yet be pick- ed up. When Walla Walla left San Fran- cisco she had eight boats and four rafts, all of which were. utilized soon as they could be got away from the sinking ship. The Walla Walla sailed from San Francisco January 1, Her gross tonnage is 3,069; length, 610; breadth, 40 feet. Her engines indi- cated 1,900 horse power. She was built at Chester, Pa., in 1881 and] ~ was one of the largest boats in the coast trade. Senator Perkins is president of the company. Nebraska Bank Robbed. Columbus, Neb., January 3.—The Blue Valley bank at Bellwood, But- ler county, was robbed last night of $2,000. The vault was blown open with dynamite, and the robbers es: caped. It is supposed they were three in number, as a trio of stran- town Thursday. One carried a heavy grip on his shoulder, and the pre- sumption is that it contained the tools and dynamite used to wreck the vault. The officers have a very incomplete description of the men, and extraordinary efforts are being made to apprehend the fugitives. \ Bride Takes Her Own Life. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 3.—Susie K. Fortner, a bride of five days, to- day committed suicide by swallowing a dose of arsenic. She was driven to the deed because her husband, a day after the marriage was perform- ed, was arrested on acharge of fraud- ulent marriage and convicted. It was shown that the groom entered into the contract to escape prosecu- tion on a criminal char, as his young wife was about to becomea Mrs. Fortner took the poison, — Ef- forts to save her life were fruitless. gers were seen loafing about the Scrofula THE OFFSPRING OF HEREDITARY BLOOD TAINT. Scrofula is but a modified form of Blood Poison and Consumption. The parent who is tainted by cither will see in the child the same disease manifesting itself in the form of swollen glands of the neck and throat, catarrh, weak # eyes, offensive sores jm and abscesses and of- tentimes white swell- | ing—sure signs of 4 Scrofula. There may 4 be noexternal signs for ele | along time, for the disease develops slowly in some cases, but the poison is in the blood and will break out at the first favor- able opportunity. S.S. S, cures this wast- ing, destructive disease by first purifying and building up the }:lood and stimulating and invigorating the «sole system. J. M. Seals, 115 Public Square, Nashville, Tenn., says: ‘Ten years ago my daughter fell and cut her forehead. From this wound the glands on the side of her face becaine swollen and bursted. Seme of the best doctors here and elsewhere attended her without any benefit, We decided to try S. S. S., and a few bottles cured her en- tirely.”” Sss and is a positive an safe cure for Scrofula, It overcomes all forms of blood poison, whether inherited or acquired, and no remedy so thoroughly and effectively cleanses the blood.

Annapolis, Md., Jan, 2.—The gen- eral assembly of Maryland began its deliberations yesterday, and after a brief session adjourned for ajweek in order to make up committees. The fact that notices of contests for the seats of six Republicans in the House and one in the Senate were presented indicates that the Democrats desire a more comfortable working major- ity. The coming election of a United States Senator created little com- ment, as it is almost universally be- lieved that for senator Mr. Gormon will have no difficulty in securing the prize when the balloting begins.

That period of Republican ascendancy was characterized by profligacy, corruption and partisan intolerance unexampled in the history of our country, save—alone in-the shameful carpetvag reign which for many years hung as a pall over the Southern States. This period of Republican misrule in Missouri was distinctly a period of exorbitant taxation, both State and local. The enormous revenues ex- torted from the people, instead of be- ing wisely used in the building of the State, were wasted in reckless expen- ditures. Not only were the ordinary revenues thus wasted, but school moneys provided for the education of the children of the State, and securi- ties held to indemnify the State against obligations it had assumed in developing the resources of the Commonwealth, also fell prey to the corrupting greed and extravagance of those evil days. This indictment would not be com- plete if we did not state here the rec- orded fact that during this period of high taxation not one dollar was levied upon the “public-service cor- porations” of the State, but the en- tire burden was put upon theindivid- ual citizen. ‘ When at last this odious epoch was terminated by the restoration of the Democratic party to power the cred- it of the State was so debased that the State's securities were hawked aboutat a ruinous discount, and not asingle monument of progress could be found that the moneys of the peo- ple had been wisely or honestly ex- pended. Not only so, but this wretched period of extravagance and misrule was characterized by partisan bigotry and intolerance without parallel, when for partisan reasons and partisan advantage prescriptive laws were enacted which denied to citizens the right to follow honorable vocations and which placed the elec- tion machinery of the entire State in the hands of the party in power, denying to’ Democrats any repre: and which power was used with a brutality that shocked the conscience of every hon- Sst Ma in-the-State——_—__—_-— In striking contrast to this inde- fensible record of the Republican par- ty we peint with proud satisfaction to the splendid record of the Missouri Democracy. We have lightened the burden of taxation until the rate now levied is only one-half what it was during Re- publican maladministration, and now is the lowest tax rate imposed by any State in the Union. The enormous bonded debt piled annually returned to the people one- third of the revenue collected for State purposes, to be used in the sup- reducing the burden of local taxation for that purpose. While recognizing the principle of just and equal taxation, and while it has always been the policy of the Democratic party to encourage the investment of capital in the develop- ment of the State, yet, believing that every property interest should bear its just proportion of the public bur- den, we have imposed taxation upon all corporations, many of the most important of which had theretofore wholly escaped taxation under Re- publican rule, And in this connec- tion wecall attention to the pertinent fact that, while striving always to be fair, the taxable valuation laid on corporations in Missouri is material- ly larger than that of any of the sur- rounding States. During the entire period of Demo- cratic control, within whieh time mil- lions have been collected and disburs- ed, the proud fact stands to ourcred- it that no one can truthfully point to the loss or dishonest use of a single dollar of public money. Theeducational, eleemosynary and penal institutions of the State have been multiplied, enlarged and per- fected to meet the growing demands of the State, until to-day'no State in the Union is better equipped in public institutions, and none ia more judi- ciously oreconomically administered. Under the wise, just and liberal policy of the Democratic party the substantial progress of the State has been phenomenal, and it has risen in dignity and importance until to-day it stands as the fifth State in the Un- ion, and the greatest of all the States west of the Mississippi River; and this marvelous progress will be fittingly celebrated by the World’s Greatest Exposition to be held in the metropo- lis of our State in 1903, racy, we heartily commend and ap- plaud our Democratic administra- tions, both past and present. and stand more than ready to upheld the hands of the present and future Demo- cratic administration in itsendeavor tocarry out the principles of true Democracy and promote the welfare of the State. And we indignantly resent the malignant and mendacious attacks made upon individual Demo- erats and upon the Democratic or- ganization of the State by the ene- mies of the Democratic party; led by an unscrupulous partisan journal 1 | | | | | | | | | Reviewing the records of splendid | Sampson’s malady prog ‘hievements of the Missouri Demoe- | but very steadily toward the end.

Boston, Mass., January 3.—Infor- mationfrom Washington shows that Capt: Richard P. Leary, United States navy, who died at Chelsea re- cently, died a rear admiral, without being conscious of the fact. It wasa promotion which he had looked for, and it is said to have been the one thing which troubled him in his last moments. ‘the appointment was made the day before he died, but it was only when his brother-in-law, Dr. Fairfax Irwin, returned from his funeral at Annapolis to Chelsea that the appointment was found.

New York, Jan. 1.—Miner’s Eighth Avenue Theater was burned to the ground early to-day. One fireman was badly hurt. The building and its contents were valued at $150,000, on which there was full insurance. The fire was started by the drop- ping of a lighted cigarette in one of the dressing reoms after the close of last night’s performance. There were many women in the theater re- hearsing when the fire was discover- ed. All got to the street in safety. One Ground for Divorce.

The credit of the State, which had been so debased that 6 and 7 per cent bonds were begging markets at a discount of 20 per cent, has been restored and exalted until to-day Missouri 3% per eent call bonds will sellin any market at a premium, and the credit of the State is substantial- ly at par with that of the national Government. Without adding to the burdens of taxation, the Democracy has steadily increased the school fund, held asa sacred trust for the education of our children, until now it is the largest of any State in the Union, and wisely invested in the securities of the State itself, and thus placed beyond the chance of, despoilation or depletion.
