Constantinople cablegram: A tremen
dous confiagration has visited the capital
of the Turkish empire. Six hundred
houses, the principal Greek church and
four ~synagogues were destroyed. A sDow
storm was prevailing at the time of the fire,
which added greatly to the sufferings of the
thousands made homeless. It took the
hardest efforts ofthe fire department, total
ly inadequate for al emergency of this
kind, to subdue the flames. The govern
ment is relieving the great distress of the
sufferers. The burnt district is q portion of
Stasboul. 1t is mostly inhabited by
Turks and Jews, and the houses, buils of
wood and being old, were very inhamma.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

THE SUCCESSION
AT the time when the present executive en-
tered upon his Office, his death, removal, resig-
nation or inability to discharge his duties would
have left the government without a c~onstitu-
tionaI head 1t is possible, of course,
that q similar contingency may again
arise. unless the wisdom Of congress
shall provide against its recurrence. The SEN
ate. AT it's last session, after full consideration,
passed an act relating to this subject which will
now, l trust, commend itself to the approval OF
both houses of congress-. The clauses Of the
constitution, upon which must depend any law
regulating the presidential succession, presents
also for solution other questions OF para
mount importance. These questions relate to
tho proper Interpretation OK the phrase ina
bility to discharge the powers and duties OF the
said ofice.n Our law providing, that when
the president shall suffer from such
inability, the presidential Office shall deyoiye
upon the vice president who must himself, I'M
der the circumstances give place to such ofer
as congress may by law appoint to act as
president Ineed not here set forth numerous
and interesting inquiries which are suggested
by these words of the constitution. They were
fully stated in my first communication To con-
cress. and have since been the subject of FREE
uuent deliberations in that body. IL is greatly
Ia he hoped that these momentuous questions
will find speedy solution, lest an emergency
should arse when longer delay will be impos-
s1Dle, ana any uetefmlHation, hlDelt WV "isoeS
may furnish cause for anxiety aud alarm. For
the reasons fully stated in my last annual
message, I repeat my recommendation
that congress propose an amendments to- that
provision OF the constitution which prescribed
that the formalities for the enactment OF laws,
whereby in respect to bills for the a~ppropria-
ton Of public moneys, the executive may. De

this amendment to insure members OF the

those rights, have been recently declared un-

Memorial Day. And as we lay aside the
cares of life for short period and
and again visit the graves of our silent
dead, there to strew flowers over theil

and dying amid friends and families

their less fortunate comrades. We

Warren county in the years long gone
BY, when settlements were sparse, and
the conveniences and comforts Of to-day
were unknown. His home was always
open tr his friends, and no one in need
was ever turned hungry from his hos

found shelter there.
He served the country faithfully
with such veteran men, who have gone
before him, as John G. Bond, Hiram

OBITUARY.

From the Monmouth Qll J Rcrier.
John Riggs, one of the early settlers of
Ruseville township, died of general de-
biiity at his residence near lola, Allen
county, Kansas, May IL, 1888. He was
born in Warren county, KY, February
Is, 1893, aud came to Warren county,
ILL.,, in 1914, and after living year
east of Monmouth he removed to Rose
vile township and settled on the home
farm in what is known as the ken
lucky neighborhood," where he resided
till 1876, when he..sold the farm to his
brother Jesse and moved to Kansas,
where he purchased lands and settled
his SONS upon them.
He filled many responsible positions
in the county, and always discharged
his official duties with that scrupulOus
fidelity that 50 distinguished him i'm
all the private walks of life.
Before the county was organized I'M
der township organization he was elect
en- county commissioner. When town.
ship organization was adopted he was
elected supervisor from Roseville for
many years in succession, aud served
that township for twelve years as just
ice of the peace, and number of times
was elected constable and school trust
ee.
John Riggs one OF the best and truest
men we ever knew-as true as the
needle to the pole, whose word was just
as sacred ms his bond. Calm, cool, eau
tious and discriminating, his judgment
was seldom wrong, aud his counsel and
advice were safe to follow. His hospi-
tality partoOk of that genuine, open
hearted frankness that was SO marked
a trait in the characters of the old pio-
neers who settled on the prairies of

SCHOOL LANDS.

In the year 1879, about 81, 900 worth
Of school lands were sold in this ooun-
ty, the purchasers paying the required
one tenth down, and agreeing to pay
ten per cant upon the remainder of the
purchase price until the payments
we're all made. Other buyers Of these
lands are paying seven per cent. All
such will be interested in learning that
at the last session Of the Legislature a
bill was passed reducing the interest in
all these cases to six per cent. Any
one wishing to take advantage Of this
change, may do so by applying to the
county cIerk, as provided in the fol-
lowing extract from the new law:
"Any person having heretofore pur-
chased such lan.l. and made partial
payment of the pu. chase-money, and
the purchase-money Lot being due on
the same, and who is not in default in
payment of interest due upon such
purchase, or taxes due upon the land,
may, upon surrendering the certificate
of purchase to the county clerk in the
county in which said land is situate,
take out a new certificate of purchase
under the provision aforesaid, and up
on presenting q new bond In double
the amount of the purchase-money re-
naming unpaid; said bond condition
ed the same as the bond aforemention-
ed in this section"
