circled it round about the links which
bind men to men and makes all part

The act of the secretary of war in
placing the department in mourning
because of the death of Gen. Belxnap
is greatly worse than an error OF
judgment. 1t is an offense to public
morality. Still worse is The decision
to grant to the body of Gen. Belknap
the honor of burial in the national
soldiers cemetery at Arlington. Gen.
Belknap WINS indeed secretary of war.
But he betrayed his trust in that of
fee. He sold post-traderships, which
was at once a shameful official NAL
feasance and an indirect robbery of
the soldiers in whose honorable COM
pany he is TO be buried. He was
driven out of Office by the discovery
of his offenses, and the mercy which
spared him from criminal prosecution
was quite all of clemency that he had
a right to expect from the country
and people.

An Unhappy Young Man.

John Mitchell, a young man from
Lamone came to Sedalia yesterday
and fell into bad company. They
filled him up on good and bad whisky
and crossed the drinks with beer and
weiner wurst. About 3 o'clock in
the afternoon he staggard up
Ohio avenue aad fell into an alley
between Third and Fourth streets.
He lay as lifeless as II he had BEEN
actually dead when Officer Carroll
found him. He was so near
being dead that he did
not even breathe. The
policeman called a hoodlum wagon
and carted him to the police station.
After Mitchell had been dumped into
a cell the first signs of animation
shown was an upheaval of the con-
tents of his stomach. He was left in
solitude and at midoight he had
sobored up and gave bonds for his
appearance in the police court to-
morrow morning. He was a much
wiser young man, yet sadder, and
promised Officer GOrrell to take his
best girl to meeting this evening.
Mitchell comes of q good family and
bis little esc.pade will cause them no
little morIi6ca alton.

The burning of our house, though

NINE. N0RDICA'S SUIT.
The Wife of the Missing Balloon
list Gets $4,000.

Providence, r. l., October 49,
The suit brought by Lillian Norton
Cover, known by the London oper-
attic stage as Mime. Nordica, for
5000, 900 against George Lewis Cow
er a Providence lawyer, has been
settled. 1t WIS dismissed by the SUI
preme court of the state of Washing
ton yesterday, Cover paying SAC, 900
to Nine. Nordica and she signing
through her attorneys q release. The
suit was begun to secure part of
the alleged estate of her husband,
Fred A. Cover, journalist, the tele-
phone expert and seron tut, who is
supposed to have lost his life while
balooring over the English channel
in 1888. He was supposed to be
worth handsome fortune through
bis association with Prof. Bell, and
his brother George went to Paris after
the fatal balloon trip to find traces of
the property. He has always said
that he found nothing. After the
alleged fruitless journey to France,
George Cover went to Tacoma,
WASH, and invested $11 900 in real
e-tate. The property is now rated at
S4OO. 900. Cover declared
emphatically that he would never
pay the big fortune which
Mime. N"rdica claimed be had appre-
priated, but he considered it about 40
reasonab'e to compromise by paying
$40, 900 as t. fight the case through
the supreme court of Washington and
the supreme court Of the United
States.
