Mr. Bi yan devotes some space to the fight in Missouri, saying in part: “It seems that the Democratic nomination for Governor in Missouri bas narrowed down to Reed and Folk, or Folk and Reed, whichever | way the reader of the Commoner may desire to describe it. “Editorials and paragraphs which have appeared in the Commoner have been quoted in support of each candi- date, and sometimes an effort has been made to show that the Com- moner, or ita editor, favored the nomination of one or the other of these candidates. “Notices have appeared in this pa- per complimentary to both candi- dates. Mr. Folk’s work in the prose- vution of boodlers had been referred to and commented upon, and Mr. Reed's speech at the Nebraska State Convention was complimented and quoted from, Nothing, however, has been said or done by the Com- office Department Dismissed For Various Kinds of Grafting---The Postmaster General's Statement.

St. Louis, Oct. 24.—Dr. Willlam F.

October 24—A dispatch to the Financial News from Berlin says it is rumored that an American syndicate has concluded a loan of 400,000,000 roubles for the munici- palities of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Odessa and Warsaw. A great part of the bonds will be placed in the Ger- man and French markets. New Haven, Cont., Oct. 21.—As a climax of to-day’s hearing on the application for the probating of the late Philo 8. Bennett, accompanying which was a sealed letter which Wm. J. Bryan to-day testified was a re- quest that he accept $50,000. Judge Stoddard, Mrs. Bennett’s lawyer, de- clared that if Mr. Bryan insited upon receiving the fund she would contest the will. Mr. Bryan in reply said that not a cent of the money would he allow Hanged Twice in Alabama. either his wife or children to receive unless Mrs. Bennett were willing. He however, did intend to ask the court to decide the validity of the bequest so that in case it was declared legal he could distribute the money among educational and charitable institu- tions, Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 22.--Felix Hall, alias Henry Jackson, a negro, was hanged to-day for the murder of Norwood Clarke, a white man.

Other dismissals will follow shortly. The following is Post master Gener- al Payne’s official statement: “Michael W. Louis bas been re- moved from the office of superintend- ent of the division of supplies, be- cause the recent investigation shows that he influenced the awarding of contracts for supplies to favored bidders; that he has bren extrava- gant and wasteful in the administra- tion of his office, and that he has paid excessive prices for supplies to favored contractors, “Louis Kemper, superintendent of the registry eyatem, has been remov- moner to indicate a preference for either one or to influence the judg- ment of the Democrats of the State of Missouri. “Mr. Bryan has studiously avoided taking part in local contests, where as in this case, both the candidates are supporters of thé Kausas City platform. The Democrats of Mis- souri are the ones most interested in the result of this contest, and they are also the ones best fitted to make the selection of their candidates. “The Commoner, however, submits a word of caution. Each candidate should run upon his own merits, not upon the demorits of his opponent, and it is @ great mistake for the friends for any candidate to attack the otherin the hope of making polit- ical capital for his own choice. “The campaign ought to be cor- ducted on a high plane, and in such a way that the successful aspirant in the convention can have the hearty support of all the candidates, at the polls. Where men differ in the prin- ciples they advocate, it is not only natural, but right, that the princi ples advocated, should be thesubject of discussion and criticism, but where men represent the same principle, bitter personalities are entirely vut of place, and those who are wise will avoid them. It is some time before the convention and those who have the interest of their party at heart, however, wedded to any particular man, ought to insist upon fair play between all who aspire to the place.” Court Declares Man Dead, Who is Alive and Well. Knoxville, Tenn., October 24.—For the third time Silas Hulin, the sup posed victim of a murder, was “re surrected” and appeared alive and well in the courtroom last night, as the chief witness in the habeas cor- pus proceedings brought to have ed for incompetency; for wasteful and reckless extravagance in sending expensive manifold registration books to a large number of small fourth-class postoffices, and for vio- lating the revenue laws by a system of petty smuggling. will not talk about his case. porate greed has filched Ike a bold bighwaymen the puree of ite victim. y “The city papers that are fighting | The civilization of the Twentieth cen- me all the time have not bluffed me,” tury has stood appalled and bas said Missouri's United States sena- thought of the decadence of once tor this morning, shaking the index proud Rome, which fell a prey to civic finger of bis right hand to lendem-|qighonor.

MILLIONAIRE’S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as @ horrible example of evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far woree tortures than the million- aire unless they avail themselves ofa standard medicine like Green’s Au- gust Flower, which has been a favor ite houeehold remedy for all stomach ciates.

An appeal was prayed to the supreme court. Two years ago Peak killed a man, who was identified as Hulin. Hewas tried and sentenced.
