Dockery is making Missouri one of the best governors the state has ever had, says the Mexico Intelli- gencer, His administration has been business-like, clean and popular with | allexcept sore heads. The affairs of the state are in better fix than ever before and Missouri is forging nearer | and nearer to the front each year in every line of advancement and prog- | ress, All the coyotes ou Goy, Dock- ery’s trail and hyena journals of the opposition party have not had the | slightest effect upon the Governor's | actions nor lowered him one notchin the high regard and esteem in which he is held by the honest, fair-minded | citizens of the state. That good old majority of over 44,000 tel's the tale without any further comment from the Intelligencer. The prided com- monwealth of grand old Missouri is still in good hands. A Boy's Battle With Robbers. La Porte, Ind., Nov. 30.—Wesley Reynolds, 16 years old, employed as clerk in the bank at Westville, in this county, was shot and killed this moruing by robbers who had broken into the place and were about to blow open the safe. The men escap- edina stolen rig. Adolph Koontz early this morning discovered a broken window, and called to Rey- nolds, but received no response. He reported the circumstance to E. E. Smith, owner of the bank, who in- vestigated, finding his clerk dead in @ pool of blood on the floor. At his side were an empty revolver and an- other partly empty. Examination showed evidence of a desperate bat- tle. More than twenty shots had been exchanged. From the trail of blood left by the robbers it is believ ed one of the men was wounded. Negie s Sold in Keatucky, Lancaster, Ky., Nov. 28 —Sheriff Lawson attracted a large crowd be- fore the court house door to-day by the sale of three , two wo- menandaman.

Stockholm, Nov. 30.—The famine is spreading throughout the extreme | north of thecountry. Seventy thous- and people are starving or on the | verge of starvation. Heavy and pro- tracted rainfalls have inundated the fields and meadows and flooded , many houses. Much of the live stock | has been isolated on the hills, which are barren of pasture, and is likely to perish. In numerouslocalities the | inhabitants are xilling their flocks | and herds and even their milk cows: or selling them at ruinous prices. | Cows bring only $5 and sheep 50 cents. Even in districts where the famine has been comparatively slight the} savings of the people, which are de- rived chiefly from stock raising, are generally exhausted. Birch bark and seed grain ground together is the common article of diet. It is almost impossible for farmers to get work and they cannot mortgage their farme, which the floods have tempo- rarily rendered worthless. In certain districts the outlook is exceedingly gloomy. The people will have to depend on very light crops—less thun hali the previous minimum of ex- tremely poor quality. These distressing conditions are to be found throughout the whole stretch of country between the sixty- seventh degrees of north latitude and from the gulf of Bothnia and the Russian border far into the interior. Southern Sweden has contributed $100,000 in money and 1,000 car loads of fodder and provisions. The municipalists in the starving area have been supplied with $75,000 five year loans without interest. Never- theless it is feared that all resources of the famine stricken district will be exhausted not later than the montl of March. Summer in those regions, which are mostly ubove the Arctic circle, does not begin until June or July. The winters are char- acterized by polar severity and Egyptian darknese, relieved only by the northern lights.

Omaha, Nov. 29.—President Roosevelt says he will send a regi- ment of cavalry to Nebraeka ifneces- sary to have the illegal fenceserected by the cattlemen torn down, and the ‘ands opened for settlement, and that if one regiment is not sufficient, more will be sent,” said Colonel John 8S. Mosby, the ex-Confederate cavalry leader, to-day. “President Roosevelt,” continued Colonel Movby, “has assured me that the fences would be removed. He said: “This thing must> stop or there will be bloodshed over it.’ And President Roosevelt knows just as much about this Western land question as apy one in the country, tuo, for he lived in the West a num- ber of years. Just as soon asl get through this grand jury work here, I will go out to Alliance and look after the Standard Cattle company. That firm probably has more land fenced in Nebraska than any two other peo- ple and I must look into it.” Colonel Mosby is now special agent for the general land office of the gov- ernment, and to him has been in- trusted the task of removing the il- legal fencing, by which. millions of acres of grazing lands have been used by the cattlemen.
