times. when gold was $50, was the do,,s-
he wanted. To similar questions, Kearney,
whose ignorance is even more 5ense than
his speeches indicate, replied in q shutting,
evasive way, saying, I'VE had better not
talk about that" At length Kearney,
making a grand effort at dramatic effect,
turned toward the Capitol, and stretching
out both hands, said THAT Capitol is a
sinkhole of iniquity, and if you look at the
moon with a microscope, you will see the
man in the moon putting his handkerchief
up to his nose every time he passes over it."

the Sedalia Savings Bank in Concordia,

their horses and galloped off in a southerly
direction. The whole affair occupied about
ten minutes. Citizens are in hot pursuit.
News from the Yellow Fever Region.
New ORLEANS, August 30.
New cases, 169; deaths, 50.
MEMPHIS, August 80.
The wet, cool weather which has pre-
vailed since yesterday has undoubtedly
created many new cases of the fever, but
how many it is impossible to state, owing
to the fact that but two physicians had
reported to the Board of Health up to moor
to-day. Some are Indifferent to the i'm
portance Of reporting; others are too busy
attending sick calls, while one at least is
known to be in open defiance of the Board
Of Health, and has never reported q case,
claiming that the prevailing disease is not
yellow fever. The death rate, however,
will equal, if not exceed that Of 1878.
