REUNION NOTES.

Joplin News. Sept. |: Baxter is en-
loving one OF the largest and most IN
lei eslinm reunions this year ever be-
fore known in her history. The Bax-
ter reunion is and always has been a
Success, aud the occasion Is looked tor
ward to year after year with antlclpa-
,ipno OF much pleasure, not only by the
old veterans, but the people in general.
The one being held this year appears
to outdc the former ones both IN NUM-
bers and splendor, and far exceeds the
expectations Of the managers, but the
| old comrades love 10 get together once
wear aud the hard times. and scarcity
of money this year does not keep them
separated, but ON the other hand
draws them together that they may
exchange greetings and talk over the
"davs of trouble" The number OF
people that attended Yesterday was
estimated at from 10000 TO $4,000. aud
| il il thought there were fully 4O,OO0
today. The fact is every grove and
park, street and alley in and around
the beautiful little city, is filled with
people. The topic Of conversation to-
dav is Sen ator JohnJ. ingalls,, who is
expected to arrive at D O'Clock this
evening and address the people to-
night. aud thousands will remain over
night 10 hear the eloquent speaker.
Tie officers of the day are doing all in
their power to make the visitors feel
glad they attended; all apparently en-
loving the occasion hugely. There
have been few disturbances, and con-
sidering the number of people present,
il seems wonderful thai no accidents
have occurred. The only real draw.
back TO the occasion Is the dust, which
has reached such a depth that low cut
shoes are "strictly in it," and "out OF
sight" 4 e Gardner IL Smith are

| his Willingness 10 do so and they
boarded the car, making the round
trip TO the Troupe mines and return.
We made it convenient to sit near
them and listen 10 their comments
concerning Webb City and the coun-
try generally. We appreciated the
benefit of the road before the trip was
over and thought: If this road came
TO Galena, how many just such cases
would occur. How many strangers,
capitalists and others, would take adj
vantage of the opportunity to run over
to Galena, vino perhaps, would other

ness prosperity; the opportunities Tor

renls that might find their way 10 Jop-
hin through shoppers? This Joplin
shopping is something of a myth at
any rate. We took especial pains to
Investigate this feature, which Webb
City raised MS an objection to the road.
aud Of the many who were ell route
from Joplin TO Webb, we found mono
with huudles. or anything else To indi-
cate that they had been shopping in
joplin, but on the contrary we noticed'
that two couples stopped at Webb City
and took supper, thAs shifting the
shoe to the other foot. A few trips on
the Inter. Urban changed our opinion
OF matters greatly and we advise all
who do not wish TO. become converts
TO the belief that the road would be q.
biz thing for Galena, to stay away
from it. Keep out of sight or you Will
be convinced against your will. Prob
ably no citizen is greater crank on
supporting home, than .ourself; we
have always preached it--always prac-'
ticed it, and we are right Oh the same
line, squarely in the middle of the road
when we say: No better stroke in be-
half of home and home interests could
be made than to induce the Inter Ur-
han to extend their line TO Galena.
This cannot be done at present AS they
intend 10 finish the east end first amt
may not again consider the question
of building west, but. il they do let us
not stand iip our own light by oppos-
ing 1t. Do as we did. Go over the
road investigate the matter and yea
will agree with us. Galena could do
no greater thing than to secure this
Eroad. Webb City felt as we did at
first. hut she wouldn't take farm for
the Inter- Urban today.

bondholder could be paid In gold.

POOR OLD SPAIN.
ONCE AGAIN THE ANARCHIST ELE.
MENr Is AT WORK IN MADRID.
The Residence Of the Late Prime Minister
Blown Up With Dynamite-The Shock
Caused the Ceiling Of an Adjacent
Thestsr Building TO Fall.

MADRID, Jnne 2l.-Last night the
blowing up with dynamite OF the resi-
dence of Senior Canovas del CASTILLO,
late prime minister, caused the death
one person, the fatal injury of one,
and wounding of several. At a theater
short distance from the residence of
CASTILLO, the shock was so great it
caused part OF the ceiling over stalls
occupied by party of mobiles to crash
down upon the occupants. People
were panic stricken and made rush
for the exits.
A grandson of Marquis Havana was
struck on the head by the falling cell.
ing and sustained fatal injuries. A son
of Marquis Guadalest was trampled to
death. Seven other persons were
trampled by the crowd and seriously
injured while larg Q number sustained
painful but not dangerous injuries.
1t is generally believed that the ex-
plosion was the work of anarchists.
Prior to the explosion gentleman
and two workmen were seen near the
house of Senior CASTILLO. The gentle
man disappeared before the explosion
occurred.
1t is believed that the workma
killed by the explosion carried num-
Der of bombs charged with dynamite
and large bullets, and it was his in.
tention to distribute them in different
parts of the city. That the bombs
contained bullets was evil
denced by the fact that several build,
ings show where lead fiattened
itself against the walls. 1t is conjec
tured that the fuse of the bomb ex'
ploded burned more rapidly than the
conspirators calculated and the ex'
plosion caused the bombs carried by
the workman to explode, blowing his
body into fragments. The dead mar

and documents belonging to a well
known anorchist named Ernesto AL

other than Alvarez. Several anarch
ist printers have been arrested on sus
picion of being implicated in the plot

GALVESTON, June 21.-Today the

of the oldest and most renowned insti-

the graduates and suh-graduates were

Rev. Bishop Gallagher, the clergy OF
the diocese, and the board of trustees.
In the afternoon crowns and diplomas
were conferred upon the two gradu-

corded. 1t was regretted that the
magnificent building of the Ursulines
now nearing completion, was not fin

THE POPE's LETTER.
Cardinal Gibbons Makes Known the Contents
Of the Pope's Letter as to Schools.


Of the Pope's Letter as to Schools.
BALTIMORE, June 21.-Cardinal
Gibbons today gave out the much dis
cussed letter from the pope on the
school question.
The pope eulogizes Satolli and EN-.
dorses his position on the school ques-
tion as explained to the archbishops
in New York. The letter is to be
printed and sent to all bishops OF the
United States.
After speaking in the highest terms
of Satolli and expressing pontifical
qualification at the cordially of his
reception here, and saying it is desir-
ed that the bonds of mutual relation
ship between the pope and his
children here be made closer, the
letter goes on to say that
Satolli was sent here to use
all endeavors for the extirpation
of all germs of dissention developed
in the we'll known controversies con-
cerning\ the proper instruction OF
Catholic youths. Satolli's action be-
fore the bishops at New York on the
school question is with great pleasure
confirmed. Propositions of ALLOCATE,
however, having been inopportunely
made, the public minds were at once
excited and controversies started
atresh, and through malignant impu'
tation scattered abroad. At this stage
letters touching the controversy were
invited by his holiness from each
prelate in America. In some of these
letters was manifest strong disap-
prevail of propositions, which it was
alleged would prove detrimental
to Catholic schools and abrogate dis
ciplinary law enacted by the council
of Baltimore. The pope says he is
convinced these latter interpretations
were wrong, the principal propositions
were drawn from DEGREES of the third
plenary council of Baltimore, and es-
pecially declare that Catholic schools
are to be promoted, aud that it is left
to the Judgment and condolences OF
the ordinary to decide when it is law
full and unlawful to attend public
schools. While public schools are not
condemned an endeavor should be
made to multiply Catholic schools.
The pope declares the DEGREES of the
Baltimore council should be steadfast-
ly observed.

LELAND STANFORD DEAD.
THE PACIFIC SLOPE SENATOR PASSES
QUIETLY AWAY.
His Death Unexpected Although in no way
surprising-Retires Tuesday Night in
His Usual Health and Is Found
Dead by His Valet at Midnight.
BULLETIN.

MEMO PARK, Cal. June 2l.-Uniteu
States Senator Leland Stanford died
al II O'Clock last night. He passed
away peacefully at his residence In
Palo Alto.
Senator Stanford was in the best o.
spirits yesterday. He took a drive
around his stock farm and seemed as
we'll as ever. He retired shortly after
ten O'Clock and about midnight
his valet, going into the Sena,
TORS bedroom, discovered that he
was dead. 1t has been evil
dent for sometime that Senator
StanfJrd's demise was a question OF
but a short time. His symptoms were
apoplectic, and his weight was in
cveasing alarmingly. There was
stiffness about his limbs that made
locomotion an exceedingly difficult
task. His body was fast becoming toe
heavy for his limbs to support. He
could lake only the slightest exercise
DR.. Curtis of San francisco prescribed
heroic treatment but the senator was
not ready to undergo drastic meVnous
for the reduction of fl ssh and the re-
storatiop of bis waning strength. HIS
apopletic symptoms increased and his
situation became such as to cause SER
ious alarm. About six weeks
ago it was found necessary to
impose severely plain diet upon the
senator and since that time his sole
food has consisted of fried mashed
meal, with hot water as the only
liquid accompaniment. The senator
rigidly adhered to the severe require.
ments of the physicians and it seemed
for time that its results were most
beneficial and might possibly effect
permanent Gu re. Senator Stanford
expressed himself as mucf
encouraged and looked forward
hopefully to the time when he coulc
devote himself with renewed energy
to public affairs and to the completion
of certain educational and other be
nevolent enterprises that were very
dear to his heart, but his strength was
not sufficiently great to respond to the
demands upon it. Its fundamental
weakness suddenly manifested itsel
and he passed quietly away.

Slick Express Robbery

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 23.-When
the Rock Island westbound train last
night reached Virginia, Neb., a man
asked United States Express Messen-
ger Spear il man named Tompkins
was in the car. Spear said he was not
and the man stepped into the car to
write a note to Tompkins. When the
train began to move out Spear looked
into the muzzle of revolver in the
strangers hands. Searching the
messenger the robber found the key to
a small safe which he opened and from
which he secured $3.50. When the
train slowed up at the Union Pacific
crossing he escaped.
