H, HUPP, Missouri, like other states, since her adoption into the Union has had egislatures with assinine qualities well developed, but the present body at the state capitol is in « fair way to carry off the laurel wreath in that respect. They have been spending their days in wrangles of the cheap- est order, and the Lord only knows where‘they have spent their nights. They have succeeded in killing about everything that had elements of merit, and now if they would only adjourn before they get the hurry call, the end of the $5 a day term, and rush @ lot of worthless rubbish through to further burden the stat- utes, they would be deserving of some consideration of the people. It is fortunate in times like these that the executive chair is filled by an able, honest, fearless man, who is to re- view the work of the legislature and pass judgment thereon. The charges of corruption and bluff at investigation might create a drag net that would catch a whale, and especially since the grand jury for Cole county has been called to in- vestigate and pass on the evidence procurred by the investigating com- mittee. If there haa been any crook- edness affecting legislation either way, it should be ferreted out and the guilty parties made to suffer. The investigation should be thor- ough, since itis begun. A few strip- ed suits worn behind bars might have a good effect on future legisla- tures. ‘That bond burning incident and extinguishment of Missouri’s bonded debts seems to leave a very sore spot A FRANCIS BOOM Washington, March 16.—The very successful efforts of ex Gov. Francis }to enlist European support for the World's Fair at St Louis has called jattention to his availability as a |democratic candidate for the presi- dency. The Washington correspond- ent of the New York Herald tele-| graphed the following: t “Very serious consideration is be-! ing given to the availability of for-| mer Gov. David R. Francis, of Mis-| souri, as the democratic candidate forthe presidency in 1904. Astrong movement is already under way to bring out for the consideration of the democrats the advantages that the party would receive through hav- ing Mr. Francis for its standard bearer. He has more substantial friends among the solid men of the Democratic party throughout the United States than any other demo- erat living, and these friends are will- ing at the proper time to go to work and see to it that he gets delegates from all sections of the country.” Negro Actor's Wife Saves Four Hua- dred From Boredom. New York, March 16.—Society has had a new thrill. Harry Lehr has been out-Lehred, Captain John Smith has at last been overshadow- ed. Pocahontas has a rival. On Monday night of last week one of the smartest men in New York's Four Hundred deliberately led out upon thedancing floor of one of thesmart- est places in Manhattan a dashing young negro woman and, flinging hisarm around her waist, waltzed with her, while the dreamy music from the violins rippled on and the shouts and applause of two dozen of New York's most exclusive and fash- ionable men and women rang in his ears, So little was society shocked, so highly was it entertained at thisdar- ing feat—for is it not more daring to face the fire of social criticism and disapproving glance’ ‘han to face the fire which burned ice the famous John Smith?—that what was donein a moment of dare deviltry has be- come a fad. Mrs. Alda Walker now ia being re- ceived into the homes of the leaders of New York’s Four Hundred, whom she is teaching to cake-walk, and is treated asa guest. Her engagement book is constantly filled and she speaks modestly but with apparent pride of her new-found popularity with the “smart set.’’ New York society has had a great many mad freaks, but none exactly like this one. Once, at the instiga- tion of Harry Lehr, it took to play ing with rag dolls at Newport. Then it took to entertaining Newpori monkeys at dinner. Sometimes it is breeding horse- and sometimes it is making nighties for the heathen, men and women alike wielding the needle. Lots of the time it is boring itse! by giving violet teas and sitting in « box at the grand opera. Indeed, it is forced 80 much of the time to bore itself that it will wel- come any one with open arms wh -will amuse it._But_it_is as easy and precarious an undertaking to amuse New York society as to write a pop- ular novel or to perform an appen dicitis operation. Testimony before the British war commission that 349,728 horses and 53,339 mules and donkeys wert lost by the British in the Boer war, in ad- dition to 15,960 that died on the voyage to Africa. Ex-Governor Lon V. Stephens, ina strong, well written articie, advo cates ex-governor David R. Francis for the next Democratic nominee for on some Republican politicians.

After viewing these facts Gov. Dockery ‘id: “Iftthis loss had resulted from mere -rrors in judgment the darkest finan- - ial chapter of the Republican domi- ation of that period would never have been written. The squander- ing of the State’s securities, however, was due to @ corrupt action of the Republican legislature. All of the shameful transactions by which the State was defrauded of ite railroad urities and the more than $25,- 000,000 of bonded indebtedness im- posed upon the people, occurred un- der acts approved March 17, 1868, except the release of the lien upon the Missouri Pacific, which was ap- proved on the 31st of March, 1868.” Only extreme and unreasonable nship would prevent any tax- payer from rejoicing in the liquida- tion of the state debt, and weare HBIES ON FIRE With Itching, Burning, Scaly Humours Find Instant Relief and Speedy Cure In Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment When All Other Remedies and the Best Physicians Fail, Instant relief and refreshing sleep for skin-tortured babies and rest for tired mothers in warm baths with Cuticura Soap and gentlé\anointings with Cuticura Ointment, the great skin cure, and purest of emollients, to be followed in severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. ‘This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, per- manent and economical treatment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, sealy, crusted and pimply skin and scalp humours, eczemas, rashes and irritations, with loss of hair, of infants and children, as well as adults, and is sure to succeed when all other remedies and physicians fail.

Flour guaranteed strictly soft wheat Everything seems to be booming yl wheat and as down there. I never saw such @ marked air of prosperity. I would advise young men witha littlemoney to go there to make their fortunes, The soil is extremely fertileand farm- ing land can be bought for $5 and $10 an acre upon which can be raised three crops of corn a year. The cultivation of tobacco, which is adapted to the soil in a greater degree than anything else, would be a great investment for aspiring young planters.” Mr. Sampson was also impressed with the number of small public parks, “One can scurcely turn around without running into a park,” said he, “and they are greatly appreciated by the citizens.” Mr, Sampson was surprised te find the Spaniards in Cuba more friendly to Americans than the native Cubans. The former he says are for annexa- tion, while the latter are decidedly against any such measure, “The wreck of the ill-fated battle- ship Maine,” continued Mr. Samp- son, “is still visible in the harbor, I did not get to Havana in time to be prevent at the memorial eervices which took place February 14. The harbor was decorated with American flags which were still flying from the ship's rigging when we departed.” Mr. Vest in His Usual Health. THE LEVEES HAVE BROKEN. A Crevasse Three-Quarters of a Mile Long Above Memphis. Memphis, Tenn., March 16.—The St. Francis levee gave away late this afternoon at Trice’s Landing, Ark., twenty miles north of the city, and to-night the waters of the Mississippi river are rushing through a three- quarter mile crevasse in the embank- ment with a roar that can be heard for miles. This is the first break that has been made in the vicinity of Mem- his, but the water is still rising at a rapid rate and three other points on the Arkansas levee north of Memphis is in a dangerous condition. At Peean Point, Fogleams Land- ing, the flood is abreast of the crown of the levees and hundreds of men at each place are working by lantern light to save the embankments. So rapid is the advance of the river to- uight that reports from those plaves are awaited with dread. The river at Memphis is rising rap- idly to night and shows 39.7 feet on the gauge. Thisisan advance ofa foot and two-tenths in twelve hours or an inch an hour, which is an ex- treme increase with the river spread over 80 much country. SHIPS AS RESCUERS. In the city to night the situation is the worst that so far has been reach ed. Innorth and south Memphis many homes and business houses have been flooded Street car traffic has been practically suspended in North Memphis. The tracks of the Illinois Central along Wolf river are under water. Appeals for aid are pouring into the city from all direc- tions from those who have taken refuge on the high points along the river and who are now surrounded by the water. All local packets have gone into the rescue business, but their te oars f is overtaxed and they are unable to respond toall demands that are received. All day cargos of refugees and their property have been discharged at the wharf here, and to-night there are several hundred destitute persons in the city who are being cared for by charity. Those acquainted with Kentucky politics assert that the republican party in that state never nominates a candidate for any office unless he has a criminal record. In view of W. 8. Taylor’s nominationfor governor, se — is easy to believe.—Joplin lobe. Col. W. C. Breckinridge, who pros- tituted himelef and his brilliant talent in 1896 hy. following the Cleveland- ites out of the Democratic party, has returned. He is now as enthusiastic a believer in and advocate of bimet- allism as there is in the country.— Joplia Globe. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: “The country will observe that the Republican party is once more car- rying out its promises,” to which the Loi Courier Journal very apt- ily : “Ona shutter.” Washington, March 16,—There is nochange in Senator Vest’s condi- tion. /He is in the same health asfor the last few months. A wild report was sent out fiom here last night to the effect that Mr. Vest had suffered a serious sinking spell. School Election Notice.
