Our school has been. saddened
by the loss of one of its scholars,
Clara Kocher, aged IL years, and
a step-daughter of John I. Brown.
She departed this life at her home
last Thursday, after one weeks
illness. The scholars and many
friends of the family followed her

lowing day. Obituary will appear

Bob White Interviewed.
From To-day's Republican.

FROM Io-days Republican.
R. M. White, editor of the Mex
leo, Mo-, LEDGER, said to a Repub-
liean reporter at the Laclede yes
terday: "Morehouse claims Au-
drain county, and regards it as a
stronghold. The fact is that the
county is very close between More
house and Francis. While More
house has visited the county sew
eral times, Francis has not appear
ed except to pass through one
morning and eat breakfast there.
If Francis should come around
there once in a while and show
that he really wants the county, he
would get it. If he shows no dis
position to work there, he won't
carry it; that is all. There is a
strong Claiborne faction in the
county. Maj. Rucker is u neigh
Dor, and will carry the county for
Secretary of State. Capt. Les
ueur ranks next in the class.
Nolan for Treasurer and Seibert for
Auditor will have no opposition
at all. Judge Ellison is the favor
tie for the Kansas City Court of Ap-
peals. The fight for Register of
Lands lies principally between
Jamison and McCulloch. Dick
Love, of Independence, will get a
good vote. Judge Robinson will
cary the county beyond all doubt
in the Seventh district Congress
ional fight"

Francis Not Responsible.

VIZ
The fact that Francis is not re-
sponsible for the calling of con-
ventions by the counties at a date
earlier than that recommended by
the State Central Committee ought
to be apparent when it is consider
ed that among these "rebellious''
counties are Montgomery, which
is a Morehouse stronghold, and
Warren, a small county that has
always been carried around in the
pocket of Charley Peers, who was
appointed Judge of the G66rt of
Appeals here by-me Governor.
Among these also are Barry and
Oregon counties, in the south
west, which are supposed to be and
which probably may be controlled
by the chairman ofthe State Com
mittee, John o'Day. Among these
also is Cape Girardeau, the home
of Jas. M. Seibert, and which
county will go. to the convention
demanding no one but Seibert.
The cry gotten up against Francis
on this point is even more silly
than the story that he voted for
Garfield or that he has turned his
administration over to the Repub-
iicans..

The Mills Bill.

10 the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, May 14.-What
articles are placed upon the free list
by the Mills Bill, and how does it
affect the rate of the present tariff
READER.
The Mills Bill adds to the free
list flax, hemp, jute, salt, tin plate,
wool and a few other articles. It
proposes to cut off, in round num-
bers, s7S, 900 900 of the surplus
revenue. OF this amount s54, O0o,-
900 is taken from the tariff and
$24, 0O0.0 600 from internal taxes on
tobacco. The present average rate
of the tariff on dutiable goods is
10 per cent. The Mills Bill
would leave it at 40 per cent. The
present average rate on articles
affected by the bill is 54.16 per
cent. The proposed rate would
leave it on these articles at 1886
per cent. It leaves the average
duty 10 per cent. higher than it
was under the Morrill, Tariff of
1852, and within two points of
what the average was in 1881. The
schedules of luxuries in the pres
ent tariff are left untouched. All
the reductions are made on the es-
sentials of manufactures or the
necessities Of the people.

his late purchase an event of con-
