Williams, of Boonville, and Peyton A. Sparks, of Clinton. The commission has been called to meet in Jefferson City on the 22nd of this month for organization. The acts which provides for the appoint- ment of the commission passed the assembly and was approved on the 17th of April, and the purpose of the act is to revise chapter 116 of the re. vised statutes of 1899 relating to revenue and assessment and collec- tion thereof.

Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 19.—Green- berry McIntosh, a 15-year-old boy, walked all the way from Perry coun- ty, away up in the mountains, to see his older brother, who is serving a four-year term in prison for an of- fense of which he is probably inno- cent. When the convict saw his little brother this afternoon he burst into tears. ‘Don’t cry,”’ said Greenberry cheerfully, “your term is most out, and mam said she wanted to hear from you, so I just walked down here to see you and cheer you up.” He carried a curious looking mu- sical instrument which he called a “dulcimo,” and said he got_to {stay all night free at several places when he played some tunes on his instru- te-diseuss the situation further tent to say that since the refusal of the state committee to call a primary election he thought this fight would be hopeless. He further declared that ifa primary had been called he was confident he would have won. He will devote himself to his congres- sional duties and such engagements on the lecture platform as will not interfere with his duties as congress: man, ‘The withdrawal of Mr. Clark will come as a complete surprise to the Missouri delegation, only two or three of whom knew it to-night. Clark has few contidents and appar- ently has consulted no member of the Missouri delegation. Mr. DeArmond, when informed that Clark had withdrawn, refused to ex- press himeelf for publication. — It is apparent that all the influences in Missouri against Stone will now con- centrate on DeArmond, and while the members of the Missouri delegation who were asked for expressions of opinien to-night would not permit their names to be used, they gave it as their opinion that DeArmond canvass and stump the state.

White House, Feb. 18, 1902.—I have received the appeal of Admiral Schley and the answer thereto from \ ie navy department. I have exum- ined both with the utmost care, as well as the preceding appeal to the secretary of the navy. I have read through all the testimony taken be- fore the court and the statements of the cousel for Admirals Sampson and Schley; have examined all the official reports of every kind in reference to the Santiago navalcampaign, copies of the logbooks and signal boeks, and the testimony before the court of claims, and have also personally had before me the four subdividing captains of the five ships, aside from those of the two admirals, which were actively engaged in Santiago. It appears that the court: of inqui- ry was unanimous in its expressions of opinion on most of its findings of fact. No appeal is made to me from the verdict of the court on these oints where it is unanimous. Ihave, owever, gone carefully over the evi- dence on these points also. I am satisfied that on the whole the court did substantial justice. C.C.C. Never sold tn bulk. of the dealer"who tries to sell “something just as good.” Mrs. Borland much credit in prepar- ing. .

How the Boy Clerk Was Killed. Chicago, Feb. 19.—According to their own confessions Frank Kolar and John Hajay, each 18 years old, killed Horace Shrodes, the boy gro- cery clerk, who was shot while defend- ing the property of his employer against robbers January 20. Kolar and Hajay have made a detailed statement describing how they fired at the boy after, as they allege, he had first shot at them. The store is at 387 Sacramento avenue and is owned by G. C Burns. The two young men said that they went to the groeery the morning of the murder ‘‘to make a little money.” They entered the store wearing masks. Shrodes was the only per- son in the store.

Climate Not Altogether Bad. Washington, Feb. 19,—Referring to the climate and health conditions efthe Philippine Islands, Governor Taft said to-day that the health of the troops there, when not engaged in campaigning, was about as good as it weuld be in the southern states. The climate is net severe, nor is it a disagreeable place in which to live. but the centinued high temperature becomes, after a time, wearing upon Americans and Europeans. It isa bad place in whieh to recu- perate. There is, he said, no malaria in Manila, but there is much of it of a malignant character in the higher altitudes. Does It Pay to Buy Cheap?
