MIssoURI's Secretary of State must
feel cheap. He refused certificate of
election to DIR. Mclean, elected to
Congress from the Second district, and
also refused to certify as to the number
of votes cast for candidates at the same
election. Last Friday, however, Dr..
Mclean appeared before the house of
Representatives, and on the statement
Of several members as to the facts in

High School Literary Society.

The open door meeting of the socie-
~ was well attended last Friday night,
and the audience were well paid for
their trouble. The first performance
was an essay on "rhe Trials of a young
Girls Life" By Anna PickelI, and as is
usual with her essays was well writ
ten and we'll rend. The recitation by
Ida Riggs was well done. With par
ticular attention to articulation, she
will make an excellent reader. Alice
Hendricks read the old favori'e
Twenty Years Agp," with excellent
taste and cXpession. \ Duet by
Lola Smlit5er,aId Bcu!ah Rcimert fol-
lowed. This WAS the only music of
the evening; more would have been
very acceptable. The amusing reci-
tation, '.The Little Rid Hin" was re-
cited in good style by Effe Scott, and
pleased the audience greatly. The di-
alogue by Docia Young, May Ellis,
MaGdie Colb6rn, Clara WEIGH, and
Eugene Talcott was exceedingly inter-
esting. The recitation by Miss Ida
Jones was very fine. She was natural
and earnest, two qualities that some
professional clocutionists would do well
to initiate. She was perhaps little
too prod;gal Of gesture, but there is
room for difference of opinion with re-
gard to that. The paper edited by
Beulah Reimert rejoiced in the highly
original name of sour Dog" True to
promise it barked loudly but did not
bite-though some of the boys thought
it came uncernfortabiy near it. The
performances by Dee Arnold, Ollie
DUNCAN, and Title Ashford We're all
good-worthy of more extended men-
ton than We have space to give them.
We understand these meetings will be
open hereafter. You cannot spend
your Friday evenings more pleasantly
than with this society.

collecting statistics of railroad freight
charges in moving the crops. This
created considerable comment, in
which Congressman Anderson led the
forces of the supporters Of agricultural
interests on the floor of the house, in
sisting that the farmers of the country
have the right to be supplied Within
formation regarding the cost of rail-
road transportation of farm products.
The railroad men tried to defeat the
bill by raising the issue that no quo
rum was. present, but Mr.. Anderson
succeeded in procuring the attendance
of quorum, and passed the bill with
the item of appropriation retained"

FRIENDS :: You all want your chill
! drcn to do well in school-tO do their
| best, and get as great a return rs pos
sible for their time and your expense.
! Tardiness and irregular attendance are
monster evils in school management.
Will you not come to the aid of the
| teachers and. see that your children
are on time: Will you not also make
an effort to keep UP their attendance
/ to high standard? Attention to these
matters will greatly assist us.
1t is my intention hereafter, with
the consent of the Board, To hold
monthly examinations and to furnish
every pupil with a card of attendance,
| puncIuality, department and scholar
ship; and if this card is presented to
you every month for your endorse
ment, we trust you will not regard it
as burdensomc TO examine and sign it,.
We will eadeavOr to send you exact
facts as TO your child's standing In all
these points, and we hope they will be
of interest to you. F.r one, | do not
generally favor monthly examinations,
but they are practiced in large ma
jOrity of graded schools, and | believe
it will he for our advantage to use
them. The color of the card will at
once indicate the scholarship, or rath-
er the standing in examination. A
white card, 80 per cent; red, from IS to
80; blue, 60 to 10. If your child
comes home with white or red card
it is safe to assume that he is doing
well in school; if with a yellow or none
at all, it ought to be matter for in
vestigatiOn.
All in the stone building ought to
study some at home, and the higher
the grade the more study. Certainly
part of sixteen lours of home life
could profita5Iy be devoted to study.
Now, dear parents, do not misappre-
bend this suggestion it is not made
i'm any spirit of dictation, but you will
see the reasonableness and unselfish-
ness of it, trust; and if it commands
your approval and adoption, l will
guarantee you large dividends in your
children's progress, the ultimate aim
of all our efforts.

The most notable change in the
market this week is the falling off in
the price of corn and hay, the former
to % cents, the latter to $3.50. Tho
only explanation seems to be the over
stocking of the markets all over the
country. Both corn and hay have
been pushed into market as rapidly as

WAR IN EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, September 5.-Mahmoud
Fehmy has written report, addressed
to the Khedive, with plans revealing
the positions and strength of the enc
my. A translation will be sent to Gen.
WOlseley. From internal evidence it is
believed its statements are correct.
1t is stated that General WOlseley is
in high spirits and confident of success.
1t will be considered almost miracle
if Arab Pasha succeeds in holding Tel
el-Kebir.
The man who murdered two English
men, Richardson and Dob on, and who
is to be executed Thursday, has con-
fessed his guilt. He will be hanged in
the native quarter. A placard in Arabic
and English, stating the cause of the
execution, will be attached to the gal
lows.
MahmOud Fehmy denies that he was
captured by British troops. He says he
surrendered. He accuses many of those
composing the entourage of the Khe-
dive. including Cheriff Pasha, Prime
Minister, of having communicated with
Arab Pasha. KadTi Pasha has arrived
as representative of the Sultan.
RAID OF MARINES.
A body of one hundred marines to-day
made a raid upon the villages between
Alexandria and Meks, and arrested all
persons who were unable to give an ac-
count of themselves. The authorities
are taking stringent measures to pre-
vent the indiscriminate landing of per-
sons without means or employment.
One hundred and fifty such persons,
who landed yesterday, have been sent to
the arsenal, pending decision as to
whether or not they shall be compelled
to return on board the vessels from
which they disembarked. Four Bedou-
ins, caught looting in Ramleh, have
been sentenced to death.
THE sULTAN's PROCLAMATION.
The Sultan's firman to the Egypt
ians has been issued. 1t declares Arabi
Pasha rebel for disobeying orders of
the Khedive and Dervisch Pasha, and
thereby provoking the Intervention of
England. 1t states that the decoration
conferred upon Arabi Pasha was bestOw-
ed at the instance of Dervi ch Pasha,
in consequence of Arabi's psOtestations
of fidelity. In conclusion the procla-
nation exhorts all Egyptians to obey
the Khedive.

DENIsoN, TEX, September 4.-News
from Indian territory says Dave Kemp
and his nephew, Henry Kemg, got into
dispute at ball at Bloomfield Acade-
my, Monday night, and shot each other
to death. Dave was about twenty-five
years old, and Henry was seventeen
years. Henry fell dead in his place,
while Dave walked some distance and
fell dead in clump of bushes. One was
pierced seven times and the other once.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, September 5.-The
election in this county (Pulaski,) on the
county ticket, is still undecided, but the
by Democrats and Independent Repub-
licans, is claimed by its supporters,
though Republicans also claim small
majority. The result will be determined
by a few isolated townships unrepOrtPd.
Slack, Republican nominee for Cover
nor. who resides here and is popular
parsonage, has carried the county. He
will doubtless lead the Republican ticket
in the State 1900 votes. Returns show
increased Democratic majOrities on the
State ticket, and the majority will be
larger than anticipated. The Green
back vote was small.
DUBLIN, September A woman died
to day from injuries received in the
charge made by the military, Saturday.
One OF the soldiers was arrested.
Two special cOnstables have been
sentenced, one to six months and the
other to three months imprisonment
for assaulting the military.
At meeting of the corporation to-day
Lord Mayor Dawson said special con-
stables were simply targets and causes
of disturbance. Co.,.
Special constables have ceased wear
ing badges in order not to attract
marked attention. A proclamation has
been issued by the Lord Mayor thanking
citizens for their hearty response to the
appeal for aid and for special cOnstables,
and giving notice that there is no ne
cessity for the appointment of any more
cOnstables.

Why He Went.

' Do not go, darling"-and as she
spoke the words, spoke them in low, ten.
der tones that thrilled him from main
truck to keelson, Gwendolen Mahaffy
laid her soft, white cheeks On Plutarch
Rioran's shoulder and gave him look
with her lustrous. dovelike eyes that
would make his head swim.
Il can't stay" he replied, kissing the
peachy red lips as he spoke. and feeling
wistfully in his overcoat pocket for plug
of tobacco, II must go now, right away" "
But the girl placed her arm around his
neck-arms whose soft, rounded curves
and pink-tinted skin would have made
an anchroite throw up his job, and
pleaded with him to stay little longer.
Il can not, he again said, looking at
her tenderly.
Can not:"repeated the girl, a shade of
anger tinging the tone in which the
word was uttered. "And pray, sir, what
is it that so imperatively calls you hcnce?"
Bending over her with q careless grace
that artfully concealed the slight Daggi-
ness at the knees of his pants, Plutarch
said in low bitter tones that were terrible
in their intensity.
Il have broken my suspender!"

A Living Lie,

In the great city it is the easiest thing
imaginable to live two lives. New York
is particularly fitted for this sort of de-
ception. Not only names, but employ
ment and character, are concealed in
facile manner. Many of the splendid
gentlemen boarding at our best hotels
are first-class gamblers, but they sue
ceed in palming themselves off as down
town lawyers, brokers, and sometimes
as members of the army of returned
Californians, with plenty of money. The
same remark includes even houses
whose real character may long be held
in concealment. A recent instance of
this is as follows: A respectable look
ing woman was recently arrested for
keeping disorderly house, the proof
being offered by man who had been
robbed there. The defendant indignant
ly denied the charge, and called upon
her pastor to sustain her reputation.
The latter appeared in court, and gave
his name and that of the church under
his charge. He testified that the woman
was communicate in good standing,
and that he had perfect confidence in
her worth. He had often visited the
house on pastoral duty, and had never
seen anything of suspicious character
The police, however, said that the house
had long borne bad name, and the
prisoner was convicted. The clergy
man thus learned that for years he had
been under skilful deception, and no
doubt this pious fraud was practiced
solely in order to use him as a witness
in case of complaint. Such are some of
the phases of life.
