OVER THE STATE.
inc Palace OF Products.

Judging from the way those who have
the matter in charge are talking the
palace of Products" scheme will mott be
pushed through. Its chief projectors
have become discouraged, and say they
do not propose to force something upon
people who do not want it. L. o. Jones
said yesterday that with the present out
look he was not willing to proceed any
further. when such men," he contin-
ued, 'as Kitchen, of the Paxton, say, i
would not give 81 towards the enterprise
il it were to bring a million of people
here, there is no use worrying ourselves
in this hot weather. Others, merchants,
bankers and business men generally
have been visited by the committee, but
they seem to be Indifferent about the
matter. A few, of course, subscribed
and were enthusiastic, but we met too
many who wanted time to think about
it. We could not afford to go back after
men who are so short sighted that they
must take q week to make up their
minds" He told about having met one
of this kind yesterday who stopped and
asked him how the scheme was getting
along. When informed that 1t had been
dropped, the fellow expressed great sur
prise, and said he was sorry, for it had
been his hope that they would go on
with it. Said Nh. Jones, L am not In
favor of q few men bearing all the DUR
den for the benefit of the many, there
fore we will have to do without a "Pal-
ace of Products" this year.-Omas> IN

Asking the Governor TO Intercs,v.

Jefferson City (Mo.) special: Mrs.
Hannah Brooks and Miss Annie Brooks,
mother and sister of Maxwell, arrived
from st. Louis at 1 o'clock last night and
have taken up quarters at tho Madison
house. They were accompanied by Mr..
p. W. FauntlerOy. Mrs. Brooks and her
daughter remained secluded in their
rooms, except at meal hours, until 3 p.
m, when they left the hotel and went to
the executive mansion. The governor
had Just returned from Southeast Mis-
souri,. but as soon as he had partaken of
his dinner he repaired to has office at the
capitol. Upon being informed of this
the ladies left the mansion and walked
over to the capitol. Their interview
with the governor lasted q quarter of IN
hour, and only once did Mrs. Brooks
mention the objectO { her visit here, and
then said that she hoped the governor
would ''spare her boy pain"
Hon. q. W. Allen, of st. LOuis, and
Private Secretary Yantis were the only
persons present at the interview, as Mr..
FauntlerOy being busy with the records
i'll the office of the clerk of the supreme
court, could not accompany them. At
ter leaving the capitol, Mrs. Brooks and
her daughter returned to the hotel. The
formal hearing of the plea for the com
mutation of the death penalty to Il life
sentence in the penitentiary will be
made at Q o'clock tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Martin, Mr.. Fauntleroy's partner,
will arrive tonight.
The latter has been busy all day, and
will have to work nearly all night upon
the records in the case, which cover
over 800 pages of typewriter copy, and
Mr.. FauntlerOy is making notation Of
the parts which he will call the attention
of the governor to tomorrow.
Mrs. Brooks and her daughter have
made a most favorable impression, and
have excited the sympathies of all. 1t
is impossible to foreshadow what will
be the action of the governor in the
case, and it is not likely that he will
make his determination known to-mor-
row. For many weeks past, petitions
have been received at the executive of
fee urging a Communication of the sen
tence, and the mails have also brought
many letters of remonstrance against
such action and advising the governor
to let the law take IFS course.

The Sa1acity OF a Horse.

VINCENNEs, Ind, July IA story Of
a horses sagacity comes from Vanderburg
county. A day or two ago a horse
was standing tied to a fence in the
yards Of the Sunnyside Coal COM
AMY in that county. A drunken
man was staggering around that neighbor-
hood, and in a moment Of frenzy took out
his pocket knife, and, seeing no one around
on whom to vent his spleen. he walked up
to the horse and deliberately plunged the
blade into the dumb brute's neck. The
cash was a long one and quite severe,
and the blood flowed from the wound
profusely. The horse in its struggles
broke the hitchin9 rein and ran out of the
lot. 1t kept up its speed down the road
until it came to 4 drug store on Fulton
street owned by Jenkins & Kyle. The
animal staIked into the store deliberately
and went az far back as the prescription
case, when it set up a most pitiful neigh
ing. The clerk was alarmed, but spoke
gently TO the animal, and taking a sponge
bathed the ugly wound II cold water, much
to the relief of the brute. The proprietor,
Mr.. Kyle, then sewed up the wound and
tied a band around the animals neck.
The horse was then led back to the mines,
seemingly happy and cOntented. MIR.
Kyle is positive in the assertion that this 10
the ncatest case of brute sagacity on record,
and points to the blood spots On the floor Of
his store as proof Of the tale.

TOLD BRIEFLY BY LIE WIRE.

The commissioner of Indian affairs
has granted permission to fifty Indians
from Rosebud agency to attend a reun-
ion at Norfolk, Neb. With four com
panies of infantry and fifty Indians,
they will be quite an attraction there.
Edward A. Deacon, who murdered
Mrs. Ada Stone, August is, 1887, was
hanged at Rochester, n. Y. on the 10th,
his neck being broken by the fall.
Deacon, who was q tramp, committed
the crime because Mrs. Stone refused
to give him food.
The trunk line passenger agents have
fixed special rates of one fare for q
round trip to all clubs of twenty per-
sons or over who come to New York
city to welcome James G. Blaine on his
return to America on July 81. A great
demonstration is looked for.
Arguments before Governor More
house, of Missouri, for the reprieve of
Brooks, the murderer of Preller, were
heard on the 18th, and the case contin-
ued one day. 1t is generally believed
that if the governor refuses to interfere
with the sentence of the court, that he
will grant Brooks a respite of perhaps
thirty days.
Mrs. Elizabeth Simon on the 10th
shot and instantly killed William Dow
ling at Bury's ranch near Douglas, Wy
oming. 1t was the act of a furious and
distracted mother, who had but a few
moments before caught Bowling in the
act of ravishing her eight-year-old
daughter. Mrs. Simon wa given a pre-
liminary examination at once and dis
charged amid cheers that were heard a
mile.
Senators Paddock and Henderson ap-
peared before the senate committee on
appropriations on the 10th, and made
arguments in support of the amendment
to the sundry civil bill providing for the
completion of Forts Robinson and Mo
brara, in Nebraska. The committee
agreed to allow 800, 900 for these pur-
poses, which is the sum asked for. Also
at the request of Senator Paddock an
amendment of $40, 900 was added to the
bill for pavement and other improve
ments around the government building
at Lincoln.
In an interview Parnell says he be-
lieves that home rule government will
result in the establishment Of q special
parliament in which England. ireland,
Scotland, Wales, and The colonies, will
be represented. Each country will
have a separate legislature to manage
the local affairs. The imperial parlia-
ment, he thinks. will supplant the house
of lords. Parnell does not believe the
next election will result in the return
to the house of commons of q majority
OF less than one hundred and twenty
