DEATH OF MAJOR KOUNS

Missouri. and Man of Rare Scholastic
and Literary Attachments, Dies in the
Insane Asylum at Nevada.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. "a telegram re-
ceived here last evening announced the
death, in the insane asylum at Nevada,
of Major Nathan c. kouns. The de-
ceased was native of Galloway County,
Mo-, about fifty-fve years of age, and
was one of the most brilliant writer's
and scholars of the century. He was
the author Of many works which bear
the marks of his genius. His master
piece was 'Arins, the Lybian,'' which
was published about six years
ago. and which soon acquired for
its author worldwide reputa-
ton and which is still considered
a standard work of scholars library.
For the other volumes which he pub
lished he took for their scenes and
times the fierce and self-denying ex-
element of the very early Christian
ages, and has presented to his readers
in an attractive way the learning and
habits of those heroic days. Major
Kouns served in the Confederate army,
work practiced law little. He was
the State Librarian for a number of
years until his mind gave away under
the strain of excessive study. and he
was sent to the asylum for treatment.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
A Few Pointers.
The following pointers are given for

The following pointers are given for
the benefit of candidates and voters:
The new law governing elections in cities
having 800 inhabitants and over provides
that "certificates of nomination filed with
the Secretary of State shall be filed II OF more
IMAM sixty and not less than twenty days
before the day fixed by law for the election
OF the persons nomination." The COM
ing general election Will be held on Novem-
Der 4, and these certificates must therefore
be filed between September and October
H. The law, however, applies only to all
State tickets, aud nominations in districts
Of more than county, provided su> h
district contains city of 500 inhabitants
or over. The Department of State has re-
ceived official information as to the
result of the United States census emu
meration in Missouri, but from unofficial
sources it is learned the following named
cities will be governed by the Australian
system: St Louis, Kansas City. ST. Joseph,
Springfield, Hannibal, Moberly, ST. Charles,
Nevada, Jon!in. Carthage. sedalla, Jeffer-
son CITY, Chitlicothe, Trenton and 14ouisf-
ana. Nominations made for Congress, for
the State Senate and to fill vacancies upon
the Circuit bench in districts or circuits
wherein these cities are located, provided
the districts or circuits consists OF more
than one county, must be certified to the
Secretary of State by the chairman and Sec
rotary cf the convention which made the
nominations, or the nominees can not he
voted for in the cities named.
The Big Revival at st. Louis.
Revival meetings neld by Mrs Wood
worth are attracting great attention in
st. Louis, and the large tent, seating
thousands, is crowded nightly. Many
people have been converted. One pecul
lar effect which Mrs. Woodworth's re-
ligion has on converts is to cause them
to throw up their hands, the eyes be-
coming set, the body rigid, and then the
convert falls over, and is lifted up and
laid upon the platform. Some nights
as many as twenty are thus laid out.
Mrs. Woodwork herself, it is said,
claims to be able to converse with the
Deity, and also with the saints and
prophets. The other day fiftv-four of
her converts were baptized in the Mis-
sissippi. and the scene was remarka
BILE one. And now, to cap it all, two
obscure doctors of st. Louis have begun
proceedings to cause inquiry to be made
as to the sanity of Mrs. Woodwork.
The general impression is that they
want little free advertising.
Mr.. January Left q Cold-Bccis.
Mrs. January, a wealthy widow of st.
Louis, was announced a short time ago
to be engaged to marry a well-known
English commoner But now it is stated
that the engagement is off, for it seems
that when Mr., January died a will was
left providing that if Mrs. January
should marry a second time the property
(about $500 000) should revert to his
children. This did not suit the for
eigner, who doubtless is looking for
some widow whose husband was named
June. and who didn't leave such d
"blarsted' cold-deck for second nus
band.
