WORDS FROM A MISSOURI VETERAN.
No Justice Nor Even Safety for Republican
Soldier in Mossback Counties

Mr.. James Gogen, who has been many
years @ oompositor on the Journal, ex-
chan ged some property. about the first of
the war, for $40 acres of amber land in
Shannon county. in southeastern Missouri.
about five hundred miles from here. For
years he paid taxes on the property, which
was increasing IN value. but. through the
treachery of a dishonest agent, the money
he provided for taxes was not paid over,
and, without his knowledge. the land was
sold for taxes. A few weeks ago he wrote
TO the editor of the Western Comsnche. at
Winona. Mr. j. w. Mcdonald. making in
Quiries in regard to tue course to be pur-
sued In order to get back the property
which has cost him so much. Mr.. Nc
Donald, who was q Union soldier. and
whose relatives live here and in Seymour,
made the following interesting reply:
My Dear sir-Being of the North, unless af-
courts or this county. The mob spirit runs high
against anyone who is not mossback or rebel,
and there is no law for him. only the bush. am
trouble at any time. We're il not for q little old

MIR. Mcdonald says that in shannon
county q man who was Union soldier is
made the object of abuse and contempt.
and declares from his experience that the
spirit of the old south against Unionism
makes the campaign the same fight in
Missouri as that of 1861"

BETTING ON THE RESULT.

IL Took n Lively Turn Yrstorday-Even Har-
ri.on Money with No Takers.
The betting took on an increasing inter
est yesterday and last night was exceeding
ly brisk. About the Denison House bill
iard-room, where the bets were posted,
there was q strong sentiment upon the
part of Republicans to back Harrison. and
upon the part of Democrats to say as little
about the national ticket on general results
as possible. They took only so many
Harrison bets as they could not avoid and
keep mp appearances. One $500 even bet on
Harrison stood at the head of the list with
ont takers most of the day. and If any ven-
turons Democrat covered It. up 1t would

The congressional contest excited lively
betting. Friends of Charles L. Henry
were able To get the advantage of ma
jority of 1900, which the friends of Bynum
must have to win their money. While
Bynum had the call on the general result,
Henry had the call on carrying his own
county. which has been heavily Demo-
cratic in the past.

The offer was evidently made to see how

the offer. having been more of n taunt than

continued TO offer odds on the State and
county. Their confidence was evidently
based on the heavy Democratic maj0rities
of 1890 in the State and county. There

$500 that Holt beats Shlel for county
treasurer. Odds were offered that Bob En-

At Tron's there was much tho
same status in the betting The
wsgers on New York became even,
having previously been favorable to Cleve-
land carrying the State. Harrison money
was offered even without takers. The bot
ting closed with the offer of 500 even still

offered and taken: 500 even Harrison

ECCENTRIC MRS. COLES,
She Wouldn't Have the Carpets Swept for
Fear of Wearing Them Out

She Wouldn't Have the Carpets Swept for
Fear of Wearing Them Out.
The varied eccentricities Of Mrs. Elizabeth
e. Coles of New York. who left q fortune Of
$4,000 600 and entirely ignored her brother Ed
ward. for whom, il is said, she had great affec-
ton, are now being aired in the contest pend
ing before Surrogate Ransom over her will and
two codicils.
A number Of servants testified yesterday that
the deceased was of most penurious habits. She
kept close watch on the food and coal and the
domestics were half starved. She did not want
the carpets swept for fear Of wearing them out
neither did she want the mirrors cleaned for
the same reason.
A piece of statuary entitled Venus was re-
ferred to by two of the witnesses. 1t appears
that for long time Mrs. Cole was ashamed Of
it and said it was not a fit thing for sny gentle
man to see. She said her son was always look
ing at it and she dressed II in several yards Of
silk and sash. 1t remained in this wav for six
or seven weeks, when Mrs. Coles was told that
1t simply represented nature, when she took the
drapery off.
John Collins, who had been butler in the
family some twenty years ago, when Mrs. Coles
lived at No. 20 East 22d street, stated he was
in Mrs. Coles employ two years. She liked his
appearance and had employed him for that
reason.
one tOld MIN tnat sne DID not like her other
butler because he had large stomach Collins
thought that Mrs. Coles was q very peculiar
woman. She thought it was vulgar for people
to eat enough or eat too much, and constantly
imagined that every one was robbing her.
One time he brought her pair OF chickens
from the country. One of them was cooked for
her dinner. but she refused to eat it, saving
that it was slippery, bad food, and that she did
not want to be killed. She had u terrible tenn
per, the witness said
While in the city Collins used TO ride out in
her carriage with her and sit beside her. She
thought the ashman was in the habit of stealing
her coal, but Collins said that such thing was
impossible, because there was no coal in the
house.
How about the food2'
at was wretched," replied the Witness
when went out to one butchers to get better
meat she would refuse to eat II because 1t was
too dear. She would rather 60 to Washington
market and buy cornod beef for FIVE cents
pound"
Arthur Mailer, who was butler and waiter in
Mrs. Coles house in 1881. testified Mrs. Coles
did not care anything about society, did not
want to 60 into society and didn't care for the
Goulds Vanderbilts or any others Of the 400 -
because, she said, they were not good enough
for her. Among other duties devolving upon
him Was that Of remaining BY the front door,
and in case anybody came he was 10 open the
door and send them away.

Philadelphia Students Intend to Defy the
Police Prohibition.
There is \ movement on foot at the various
colleges in Philadelphia to test the legality Of
Superintendent Liuden's order forbidding the
students to march upon the streets and give
their college cries. Secret mass meetings have
been held and arrangements have been per-
fected to turn out tomorrow night 1, 500 strong
and yell themselves hOarse. They will form upon
Penn square march south on Broad street to the
Union League, countermsrch to Chestnut street.
east on Chestnut to 9Th. to Market street. west
on Market street to 18th street, where they will
disband.
The leaders in the movement at the various
colleges have issued the following statement as
the number Of men each college will have in
line: jefferson, 800; University. 600; Medico-
Chirurgical and Philadelphia Dental College.
800; Hahnemann, $50: Pennsylvania Dental
College, 200; College of Pharmacy, 100.
The college having right Of line viii be the
first to give their cry. which will be followed by
the other colleges in order along the line
The movement is well organized and strong
effort will be made TO prove the illegaity Of the
| superintendent order. Never before has o
subject aroused such excitement as now pre-
walls among the Philadelphia students. Indig-
nant groups Of students can be seen at all the
colleges discussing the order in an emphatic
way.
Some Of the promoters OF the movement have
even gone so far as to procure bondsmen in
case of trouble. A number Of the students
when interviewed yesterday SAID that il the
officers interfered with them in any way or ar
| rested any Of their men they would carry it to
the courts and make test case Of it,
We'll see II we are to be muzzled like dogs
and not be permitted to give our college cav in
the streets" said Jefferson student yester-
day.
Said university man: "If we have become
a nuisance, as Superintendent LINDEN saws,
through our marching in body as college men
and giving our cries. why does the superintend-
ent not arrest US when on the street and prove
that We are q nuisance, instead Of sending word
to the different faculties in that solemn way, re-
questing them to advise Us that we are not to
parade on the streets or give our cries''

edge Of weaving. They we're then allowed to
tAke with them Q weaving machine and do the
weaving at home. Some months sfterward it
was found that each apprentice could manufac-
ture more than twenty pieces of cloth every
month The yiceroy appropriated a certain
amount OF public funds for the expense OF the
niil-. and the gentry also assisted in raising
capital BY selling shares.
