for it for sometime.

by the firing Of a gun in their vicinity
about IL O'Clock last night, but upon in

rapid fusilsde at an animal
which was freed near him. Dave Dodge
with a courage bern of desperation, rejolv-

belonged and disdaining the shotgun,
which George urged upon him, mounted
the tree and shook il with such force as to
dislodge the animal, which fell to the
ground and was speedily Dispatch
ed by a stick which Ira Hinsdale vigor-
ously welded. IL proved to be a coon
weighing about fifty pounds and had prob

The best medical

The best medical writers claim
that the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be non-irritating, easy of APP
pIication, and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and III
cerated surfaces. The history Of the ef-
forts to treat catarrh during the past few
years obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these condi-
tions, aud that is E'y's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
bob physicians and patients freely con-
cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.

SOUTHWESTERN PATRIOTS.
McGinnis Knocked off his Pins
by the President Minor
Notes.

To-day's st. Louis Rep ublic con-
tains the following:
The southwestern patriots are not
as numerous in town now as they were
a couple of weeks ago. Many of them
have gone bone completely discour-
aged and heartily cursing Harrison.
In fact it is much easier TO hear curses
than prayer for Harrison in Washing
ton at present among republicans. 1t
develOpes to-day that when Senator
McGinnis of st. Louis had his final
interview with the president in adj
vocacy of Capt. Bridges of Sedalia
for consul general to Mexico he
president confronted him with an in
dorsement of the republican members
Of the legislature in favor of SamGsl
A. Hoover for the same
place. McGinnis came on here
as the special envoy of the re-
publican members of the legislature
to Arkansas for Bridges appointment
as consul-general to Mexico. He was
received very courteously by both the
president and the secretary of state
the day after his arrival, and both
promised him that they would seri-
Ously consider what he had TO say
about Capt. Bridges. Among other
things that McGinnis said of Bridges
was that he was the most popular re-
publican in Missouri, and that be ran
only 5000 votes behind Gov. Francis
at the last election, when he Bridges
was a candidate on the republican
ticket for encouragement. Just before
leaving Washington, McGinnis
made another call on the presi-
dent, when he was surprised
to find that not only he, himself,
but every other republican member of
the legislature had previously in
dOrsed Mr.. Hoover. This somewhat
knocked McGinnis eff his pins and he
could not satisfactorily explain his ac-
ton and that of his republican asso-
ciates In the legislature, except that
the movement in favor Of Bridges was
after more mature consideration. |
the feeling is abroad here
that if Hoover could be Withdrawn
and the united support of Missouri
given to Bridges he would stand
good chance OF getting the Mex
lean consul generalship. The repub-
lican congressman, however, re-
fuse to indorse him believing
that the Endorsement of any
person else for place in the diplO-
matte or consular service would have !
a tendency to weaken the indorse- |
ments they have already made.
Bridges has a good many friends here,
and all of them are doing what they
can to advance his interests.
Joe Upton of the Sixth Missouri
district, who has been here for some !
days beheading democratic postmas- |
lers. has Endorsed Ed Crawford, editor
of the Sedalia Sentinel, for the post |
office at SedaIis. No change will be
made in this office, however, for near

swIsDLiNG TaE FARMERS.
An old Dodge OF the Fraternity
Slightly Altered.

Huntington pal special says: A new
and ingenious swfndle II being successfully
worked on the farmers in the lover end OF
this county. A versatile, well-dressed fellow
drives IN 10 a farmers house with two or
more OF the cheaper kinds Of hay-forks. The
stranger asks the privilege OF temporarily
storing the forks In the farmers barn
and the accommodating farmer usually
grants permission. When the forks have
been stored away the sharper remarks thai
they are the last OF large lot that he has
been selling through the neighboring county,
and az he is anxious 10 close out the con.
alignment n the farmer will sell them while
thew remain on his premises be shall have 80
per cent. commission on the sale. The otter
l. tempting one aud the unsuspicious
farmer generally accepts.
He is then requested, merely as business
form and as evidence OF good faith, to ailiX
his signature to paper specifying the terms
on which the forks are stored on his prem
ises. The document Is a printed one aud
very lengthy, and IN q majority OF instances
the farmer signs it without reading It or
comprehending its contents. Its signif-
canoe is made very clear to bin.
however. when at the end OF thirty
DAYS he 10 called upon by con-
iederate OF the first sharper TO pay out
right an extravagant price for the forks. II
he demonstrates he IL shown his signature

AS Near the Pole as Possible.

As might have been expected the organi-
cation at Hamburg, Germany, OF an expe-
dition for exploration within the antarctic
circle has reawskeued interest In the ques-
ton OF Arctic research Now II Is learned
that movement has been started 10 Nor.

Should this expedition succeed In
getting further North than did LOCKWOOD oil
the GREEDY circumpolsr station party,
snatch the blue fIboon aud return in safety,
II Is justidsble TO assume that II will mark
the beginning OF another series OF North

will never be satisfied so long as the
region OF eternal ice holds lockea~in
secret II is possible for human
daring 70 make 1t give up. Already The
public mind has reacted in measure from
the condition Of opposition to Polar research
produced by The terrible stories OF the
jeanette and Cape Sabine, and 1t would only
require one successful Arctic expedition to
history OF North Polar voyages is review
ed and the casualties are summed up IL
- found that tho latter have not been as
great by any means as has been generally
believed. Though the details OF what the
proposed Norwegian expedition ia expected
10 accomplish have not transpred, the fair
presumption Is that the objects OF the voyage
will tie scientific investigation, and the
making OF such observations as were made
at the various circumpolsr stations. The
"northwest passage to far Catbay,
which lured so many intrepid spirits
into the Arctic circle from the days OF the
CABoTs until within q comparatively recent
date, is no longer regarded as practicable,
although NORDEYsEJoLD did succeed In &C
comprising the northeast passage, and most
OF the recent Polar expeditions have been
for the purpose OF studying the winds
and currents and gathering astronoml-
cal, geographical, and other information
which the world Graves. The Nor.
weglsns seem 10 be especially well
adapted for the work Of Arctic research,
and, taking the record OF the retreats (saye
GREELY's) from the circumpolsr stations,
there seems to be no reason why the expe-
dtiOn OF next year should not prove sue
cessiu in the matter OF adding largely TO the
worlds knowledge OF Arctic conditions.
II will start out with a better knowledge OF
Arctic winds, currents, &c, and Of what is
necessary for a protracted soiourn In the
polar regions than any expedition that has
precededit.

be stated that there are two sets OF sppii-
cants for the Federal offices, representing
the two wings OF the Republican party. In
the matter OF the Petersburg postmastership
there are three candidates representing the
Malone wing OF the party and one repre-
senting the anti-Mahone wing. The latter
