Worlds Fair Fund.

am in receipt of circular from the
State World Fair Commission asking the
cooperation of this county in raising
$15, 100000 to aid in making a State Ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair in 1893. This
amount has peen apportioned through the
State andIthe sum Of So, 900, 90 apportioned
to this Judicial District comprising eleven
countless of this 81 100000 is apportioned
to the county of Hughes, leaving only
100000 to be raised by the other ten
counties. This seems but small amount
to ask for considering the great benefits
the State at large and all the counties are
sure to derive from an exhibit and without
which we should feel almost ashamed to
be seen at Chicago during the time of the
fair. 1t should be distinctly understood
that this money is to remain OH deposit
until the Commission has succeeded in Sc
curing the full amount, in which event it
is to be Immediately at the disposal of the
Commission. If they fail in raising the
necessary amount all subscriptions are to

The list for subscriptions is open at the
Bank. and hope all who are able and
have the welfare of the State at heart will
call at their earliest convenience andmake
such deposit Qarge or smalD as their means
will allow.
Don't be afraid to come and leave a
small amount. the amount called for does
not require large giving by individuals,
no money is to be used for paying salaries
nothing but necessary expenses, and the
fund so raised is to be State building
Shares of stock will be issued by the Com
mission as soon as they accept the sub

"Billicn Congress. +"

How the Democrats howled last year
about the "Billion Congress presided
over by ''Czar?' It was their boast
two years ago that they could run the
government for one-half the Republi-
cans did. They are now having the op-
portunity to fulfill thatpromlse. Their
majority in congress $50, is nearly
double the Republican representation.
The "Billion Congress" as it IS term
ed appropriated $463,39s,51O.79 of
Of this amount s36,6l7, ,282.96 were
to cover deficiencies of the preceding
Democratic congress. The fifty-sec-
ond congress has not yet completed its
work, but has already appropriated
$4o6, ,804,619.82, of which only $l,O68,-
3O5,87 is for the deficiency left over
by the Republicans, which, when the
deficiencies of the 2 congresses are ta-
ken into account, amounts to nearly
| $6O, ,O00, 100000 as the sum which the
SD congress has appropriated in excess
of that OF the fifty-frst congress. 1t is
only another demonstration that the
Republican party knows how best to
take care Of this government and that
it's representatives are the purest and
wlsest Legislators s-Aberdeen News.

METHODISTS MAD.
They Feel Certain the Presi.
dent Has Snubbed Them
In Signing the Chinese ExClu-
sion Act So Soon

When They Had TeIegraphed Him They
Wore Preparing a Memorial Protesting
Against Such ActiOn-A PoIitico-Re.
lisious Cyclone Almost Sure to Result
from His Action.
OMAHA, May THE action of Presi
dent Harrison in signing the Chinese ex
clusion act within few hours of its de.
livery to him was severely criticised by
the delegates to the Methodist confer.
ence, The committee appointed Thurs
day to prepare memorial protesting
against the bill telegraphed the presi-
dent concerning the matter, and they
feel certain that the president has di-
rectly snubbed them.
One excited delegate vehemently de-
clared the presidents action to be a
dirty Irish trick" and further said
that the bill was signed 'solely to catch
the Irish vote" OF course the delegates
whose Republicanism exceeds their re-
hgion-that is the laymen-strenuously
objected to this statement being made
and it was withdrawn for the time be-
ing, thus preventing an unseemly
wrangle.
What'll the Result Be?
This action is almost sure to create a
politico religious breeze that may de-
velop into a cyclone before the month is
out. News has just come from China
that that government is making vigor-
Gus efforts to suppress the anti-foreign
sentiment there. One poor wretch was
sliced to death as penalty for badger
ing and maltreating some foreign resi-
dents.
The bill confessedly violates the terms
of the treaty of 1880, and it is to be
feared that in operation the section pro-
viding for the issue of certificates to
Cinnamon already in the country win
work hardship and injustice and drive
out of the United States Cinnamon who
have right here, especially when the
law is enforced by officers of the Pacific
coast, who really question the right of
the almond-eyed intruder to existence
any way.
Now, if the compromise bill which
congress passed happens to irritate the
Celestials, our Methodist missionaries in
the Flowery Kingdom may find it going
hard with them in their person and
property. 1t is certain that they will
get scant courtesy for their religion.
This it is which, doubtless, so disturbed
the eOuauimitV of the brethren

MOUNT STERLING, May FRIDAY
morning while John Robinson's show
parade was passing through the city and
the cashier and tellers of the Traders
Deposit bank were taking it in, man
entered the building from the rear and
went into the safe and got $4,000.
A woman in front of the bank gave a
signal, which the clerk, Roy Kerns,
caught, and looking around saw a ma
Kerns gave the alarm and ran toward
him, when a teller, Charles Grubbs,
saw and caught him, and took the
money.
An officer then ran in and put the
thief under arrest. He gave his name as
Frank Owings, of Cincinnati. The
woman darted into the crowd and made
her escape.
The prisoner was taken before Judge
Groves, and, waving examination, he
was held on bond of $4,000 to make
his appearance in the circuit court.

Excitement ran high, and, as he was
entering the Jail, crowd ran after him
calling for a rope, which made the pris-
oner tremble like leaf.
He is 5 #. in. tall, wears a heavy
moustache, weighs 1870 pounds, and is
about thirty-five years old.
He is wanted at other places.

THE NEW CHINESE LAW.

Not Thought the Chinese Minister Will
Ask for His Passport.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-,Fsui Kwo Yin
is still the accredited envoy eXtraordin-
airy and minister nlenipotentiary from
the celestial empire to the United States.
He had not up 10 a late hour Wednes-
day afternoon called at the state de-
partment, or indeed sent there for a
copy of the new Chinese law signed by
the president Thursday. Should he de-
sire it, copy of the law duly anthem
ticated and tied up in the exquisit rib
bons used by the department of state
will be furnished by him, but it was
stated that it was not usual to inform
foreign ministers officially of the passage
by congress of the laws affecting their
countries.
The Chinese minister is very much put
out over the final adoption Of the Chi
nese exclusion act which becomes a law
by the presid ant's signature at once. He
strenuo1sly objects to the registration
clause. 1t was reported few days ago
that if the bill became law the celes-
tial government would withdraw its rep
resentatives in this country and cut off
all diplomatic relations with u9. Mr.
Yin says that he does not know just
what will be done. He has cabled his
government that the bill passed congress
and has the approval of the president,
and he awaits Instructions.
At the department it is not considered
probable that the minister will ask for
his passport because of the passage of
the new Chinese law.
