THEIR LAST CARD.
All the Men Called Out on the
Central.

New York. August 2S.-The
Knights of Labor have played their
last card against the New York Gen.
trial. All they can do now is to await
the result. Last night they called
out every man who owes them allegi-
ance and the strike will be enforced
as strongly as the organization can
enforce it. The railroad officials state
that they are laughing at the efforts
of Mr.. Powderly to tie up the road,
and they say they are managing their
business better than ever, nOtwith-
the shouting of the strikers.

The Se<ialia Fair

Clinton parties who attended the
State Fair at Sedaia pronounced it q
success in the display of farm and
garden products, cattle, horses, hogs,
sheep, etc, with the fine floral hall,
merchants displays and the aggrega-
ton of agricultural implements. Capt.
Blatt, who was invited to act as judge
in several of the races, says the speed
and performances of the horses was
highly creditable. and the fair direct
ors deserve praise for their united eff
forts in securing good horses and
making successful meeting. Miss
Peek's entertainments on the grounds
were not only g new and somewhat
novel departure, but proved to be a
feature very attractive.
In the contest for the best lady ri.
der, Miss Ada Hulen, of Tulare, Cali
fornia, neice of Capt. Blatt, was
awarded the blue ribbon. She rode
an entire strange horse, displacing the
saddle and using ortys a blanket and

LEAVING THE KNIGHTS.
The Brass Workers DESERVING
POwderly's Order for a New
One.

Pittsburg, August 26.-The brass
workers have decided to leave the
Knights of Labor. This move was
determined upon after meeting held
in New Haven, Conn. the fret week
in August of the Brass Workers Ma
tional association. Ii was made be-
cause they came to the conclusion that
the Knights were no longer the pros
porous order they once were.
The result of this was the formation
of a new union that is one of the
largest and most powerful trade bodies
ever formed in this country. The
new body is known as the lnterDa-
tionsl Brotherhood of Brass Workers.
The number Of men engaged in the
brass industries in the various cities
in this country is given as follows {:
40, 900 in New England; New York,
Brooklyn and Philidelphis, 1900 /;
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Detroit, St.
Louis and Chicago, 10000.
The new officers are: President,
Theodore Sucher, New Haven, Conn. !;
vice president, F. A. Bauer, Pitts
burg; secretary-treasurer, G. G. Nc
Glogan, Chicago. Mr.. Bauer yester.
day said
"From the tenor OF the reports of
the different delegates it was clearly
shown that unless the brass workers
formed an independent organization
and made such rules as would give
satisfaction to the trade without hav-
ing to conform to a volume of laws
all other kinds of trades,
we would never compass a perfect or
successful union"
"The knights assemblies are said to
be surrendering their charters in Dis
trict 252, the old brassworkers' body,
and join, as fast as charters can be
Issued, the new brotherhood.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
A Negro Man Cut Up-His Head
and Limbs Found i'm Diff
ferent Places.

Joplin, Mo-, August 25.-One Of
the most diabolical crimes that was
ever committed in Newton county
was reported yesterday. Conflicting
stories are told of foul murder and
the horrible butchering of a negro in
the neighborhood of Africa, settle
ment of colored people, eleven miles
southeast of this city. The report
which seems to receive the most credit
is that given by E. d. Demostus who
lives in the settlement. He was at
the home oc j. S. Reading yesterday
morning at sunrise asking f,r some
one to instruct him what to do He says
that be found one of the legs OF a col
ored person just over the field fence on
the GU side of the farm owned and
cultivated by Charley Thomas, a col
ored man, and he Immediately began
investigation. He went back to the
home OF Thomas and enlisted the
help of the Thomas family. They
went to where the limb was found,
and took a round through the bushes
c'ose by but could find nothing of the
other remains. They then went
across the field, and in a short dis
lance an arm was found. Not far
away the head was discovered, and
further on the trunk. The body was
gasbed to shreds and the face of de-
ceased was horribly cut up but not so
badly but that the features could
easily be recognized. Just how
long the remains had been
lying in the field is not known, but
as they lay exposed to the sun, and
decomposition had not set in, it is sup
posed that the man was murdered
during the night before and his re-
mains scattered about as they were by
tine perpetrator of the crime. Many
theories have been advanced; many to
the effect that the wife murdered him.
This latter seems to be the popular
theory. Officers are trying to get at
the bottom facts. The remains were
put together and buried yesterday.
Some two years ago Thomas
barn of hay vas set fire to and some
entertain the suspicion that per-
haps the man released from the peni-
Tertiary for burning the barn, has
sought revenge by numbering Thomas.
The widow of the deceased claims to
know nothing of how the crime was
committed, and says she wants the
guilty party brought to justice, but
her story is not credited by many.

This is a nervous affection Of the skin in
which the fine hlaments of nerves that are dis
tributed to the skin cause the most intoierable
itchiness. The characteristic symptoms of this
disease are an intolerable itching, causing an
uncomfortable desire to scratch. The patient
feels that he must scratch the parts or go
crazy. You can examine the skin ever so care
fully and you can find no signs of any eruption,
except that produced by scratching. This dis
ease is always worse at nights increased by
the warmth of the bed. The patient will
scratch and tear the parts, frequently causing
a free flow of blood. and after restless night
will awaken unrefreshed and mentally de-
pressed dreading the coming night again. AS
a rule this disease is worse during cold weather.
Is disease of middle life and old age. Is gen.
orally local, affecting the lower part Of the
body from the waist down, sometimes affects
the face and scalp, particularly the nose and
forehead. In some cases the patient declares
that the sensation is the same as II minute in
sects were crawling over the surface 1t ex-
lists in all degrees of severity from a
slight annoyance to miserable disease.
In some cases the skin becomes harsh, dry and
thickened. accompanied by smartIng, tingling
and burning. besides the itching. Remember
this. the nature OF the itching in this disease is
such that the desire to scratch is irresistible,
and cannot be controlled by the strongest will.
Remember also that this disease is never con-
tagious.
