COMBATING ASSASSINS
The RelcBs'-
lag Adopts Herr Wind
thOrstss Motion

BERLIN, April 4.-The Reichstag to-day,
with only three dissenting voices, adopted
Herr Windthorst's motion, requesting Prince
Bismarck to endeavor to bring about an
agreement among the powers according
to which they will undertake to
impose penalties upon their own
subjects and foreign residents for
assassinating or attempting to assassinate
heads of State, or melting to such assassina-
tions, and deliver upon the demand of the
government of his native country any
foreigner guilty of assassination or
attempt to assassinate. Herr Wind
thorst said the motion was only
intended to serve as basis for
arrangements between the various govern
ments with view to prevent the right of
asylum being abused for fostering asssssi-
nation. The motion would derive weight
from the fact that it had not originated in
high quarters but with the representatives
of the people.

His Fifteenth Year.

L. Phillip, the s'star clothing man,"
has been in business in Mexico for
fifteen years, and has proven to be
one OF the most senterprising, go.
ahead, patriotic men in the city. He
is among the first to take hold of
anything that will be of any good to
the city and community. His success
in business is due to the fair and
honest way in which it has been con-
Quoted. Every man, woman and
child in the county knows that he
buys and sells more goods in his line
each year than any other firm in
Central Missouri. This is not all.
Phillip can sell goods cheaper than
some men can buy them. Why? Be-
cause he buys for spot cash, and In
this way be gets bottom prices, be-
sides a large "per cent. off for cash."
No man should buy until he calls and
sees Phillips stock and gets prices.
No trouble to show goods. He keeps
gentlemanly and accommodating
clerks who take pleasure in chewing
goods and giving prices. Look out
for his mammoth advertisement next
week. The ''star clothing house, is
headquarters.

Her citizens are anxiously expecting
the road, and will undoubtedly K

The mineral water is shipped from
here in quantities, and Brownville is
certain, in the near future, to be the
Saratoga of Missouri.
Higginsville is at the crossing of
the G. & A md M. P. railroads, and
its advantages as a shipping. point
are enviable, and the busy air of its
commerce recommend it as a good
location. One of our Mexico mer-
chants contemplates locating here,
