Some idea of the rapid strides we are making in the way of expendi- tures may be obtained when it is known that during the year 1897, preceding the Spanish-American war, ‘our appropriations, aside from the Jexpenses of the postoftice, amounted to $302,786, 386 Aside from the postofficve expenses and appropriations made for the }Panama canal, the appropriations made by the congress recently ad- *}journed amounted to more than SG00, 000 000 The policy of imperialism comes and they thatter themselves that they have the ability to convince the peo- ple that public interests require the maaintenance of that poliey.—Joplin Globe Senator Hanna's Prophecy Nobody has ever necused Senator Hanna of a lack of political shrewd- ness.

The amount is a big increase over the sum appor- tioned lust year, whieh was an in- crease over the previous year, The state this year will have $1,170,- 31148 to divide among the counties as compared with $1,085 020.21 dis- tributed last year. It can not yet be determined how much each cougty will receive until the state superin- tendent has received the reports from each county giving the enrollment in the counties, The schools of the state get one- third of the money received into the state revenne fund from July 1 to duly 1 of each year, During the year just closed there were $2,949,- 964.44 received into the revenue fund one-third of which amounts to $088,521.48 and interest on the school certificates amounts to $186,- 00.making a total of $1,170, 311.48, This is a grand showing for the schools of the state under theadmin- istration of Democrats. Governor Dockery, commenting Saturday upon the inereased appor- tionment of state school moneys, “Oh, yes,” the Governor said, “we are still ‘looting’ the school fund. The apportionment of state taxes for the education of our children and the maintenance of the publie school system forthecurrent yearis$1,170,- §11.48—being in round numbers an increase of $85,000 over any previ- ous year in the history of the state, The increased apportionment last year over the preceding year was nearly $100,000, “In the face of such apportion- ments as these the Republican howl about ‘looting’ the school fund de- generatesiuto a ‘farce comedy.’ Un- der this apportionment of school moneys there are several Republican counties that will receive from the state for the edacation of their chil- dren more money than they pay into the state treasury for all purposes. “Yes, the ‘looting’ will go on, and Missouri's magnificent educational system will continue to be impregna- ble against all malicious Republican assaults.” Kansas City Ww orld, 9: —July corn in Chicago, whic ‘+h advanced 7 cents a bushell yesterday, scored an addi- tional gain of 6 cents ‘to-day and touched 90 cents, The rise is solely due to the “corner” held by Harris, Gates & Co., of Chicago, supposedly for Jolin W.

Hence they are being squeezed by the clique which did the buying. The fie- titious price of July is evidenced by the fact that Septembercorn is worth only 62 csnts. The cash grain, ex- cept that the grade subject to deliv- ery on speculative contracts is far below the July price, it is said that unless the shorts ask for private set- tlements, July corn may go to $1 or over Dying of Spanish Fever. Joplin, Mo., July 5.—Cattle in thie section are dying in great numbers of what is known as Spanish fever. The disease is extremely contagious and is spreading all over the coun- try, and unless immediate steps are taken to prevent a farther spread the loss will be considerable. In this city during the past few days milk cows have died by the store from the disease. Bringing infested cattle here from Arkansas is the cause for the spread of the malady.

Eldorado, Kan, July &.—Miss Jessie Morrisen, who was found guilty by a jury last week of second degree murder for killing Mrs, Olin Castle with a razor, was sentenced to-day to twenty-five years in the Kansas yenitentiury. The laws o » state make the punishment for second de gree murder between ten years in the penitentiary and a life sentence, The judge uses his discretion, Miss Mor- rison was tPied three times. The jury hung the first time. Thesecond time the verdict was second degree manslaughter. Her punishment was fixed at ten years. She served two months in prison and then was grant- ed a new trial. As the judge told Miss Morrison to stand up and asked her if she had any legal cause why judgment should not be passed upon her profound silence prevailed in the court room and the crowd rose to its feet. Miss Morrison stood up in front of the judge with her back to the crowd, but refused to say a word. She did noteven look at the judge. Judge Aikman said: “Itisa sad thing to find an intelligent woman like you in this condition, but such is the case; it isto be regretted by every- body, but [have my duty to per form, L feel sorry for you, and al- though | have a range of from ten Years to lifeimprisonment that I can give you, and although I would be justified in giving you a life sentence Iwill not. The judgment of this court is that you be confined at close confinement and hard labor in the state penitentiary at Lansing for a period of twenty-five years aud pay the costs of prosecution.” Miss Morrison sat down without saying aword or shedding a tear and was cool and self possessed, al- though a little pale and trembling. Jessie Morrison and Clara Wiley Castle fought with a razor. Mrs. Castle was cut in her arms, breast and throat. Miss Morrison also was cut about the arms aud breast. The quarrel took place intheCastle home eight days after Miss Wiley had been married to Olin Castle, with whom both women had been in love. Ina death bed statement Mrs. Castle said that Miss Morfison bad first attack- ed her, and the theory of the state has been that Miss Morrison, in a spirit of revenge, armed herself with # razor and went to Mrs. Custle’s home intent on killing her.

Wagner killed Mayes at the request of his own wife, who claimed that Mayee had been harrassing her with his attentions, and the killing took place at Wagner's home, where Mayes was trying to gain an inter- view with a woman.

L, July 5.—It has | been ascertained that the president's erence to trust questions was merely the forerunner of a determined effort by him to have congress take up that subject and enact definite legislation | at next session for the control and supervision of trusts. Recently the president und Attor-. ney General Knox held a conference ; and Representative Littletielu, of Maine, whose knowledge of constitu- tional law is admitted, was invited to prepare a bill for the regulation | and control of the trusts that will go | before congress with theendorsement andinfluence back of it. The bill will be submitted at the beginning of the next session, but before this is done the president, Attorney General Knox and Mr. Littletield will have frequent conferences as to the details, In addition to this proposed action the president is going to talk upon the trust question a good deal on the several trips to be madeé by him in | the fall. He has announced to his friends that the question is a vital one and that he proposes to push it vigorously until there is some action taken by congress.
