No News at Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. D.
Neither the State nor Navy Deraf-
ment had received any news this
morning indicating the capture Of
Rio de Janerio and the downfall of
President Peixoto, and at the Navy
Department the opinion was ex-
pressed that Capt. Picking would
promptly notify the Department of
such all occurrence.
The Government here, however,
for some days has inclined to the
belief that Peixoto was losing
ground, and that he was liable to
meet serious reverses in a short
time.
AT the Brazilian Legation it was
stated that no news had been re-
ceived, but the rumors of Rios CAP
ture were doubted. Ordinarily the
Legation receives advices each day,
and some delay apparently has oc-
Cured in sending cable messages to

Is BABY RUTH In DANGER?
Evidence OF Most Sensational Plot
Found at Abilene.

ABILENE, Kas., Dec. 22.-If the
statements contained in two letters
now in the hands of the police are
reliable, it would be advisable for
President Cleveland to have extra
guards about the White House to
keep Baby Ruth under constant
surveillance.
Two letters of most sensational
character were picked up on the
street here Wednesday by a country
woman and handed to the police.
One was from Minneapolis and
after abusing the "gold bugs"
roundly, said: "We have every
thing ready for the White House
and we will send Grover to hades
when the bugle sounds. We will
also get our $4,000. We start for
the White house now. We five
never failed in our job and wont
now."
The other letter is from Topeka,
dated December 10, and signed r.
F. Rock, and says: awe have
concluded to make two jobs out of
White house business. We will
take the oldest child first. We can
get her all right. Mollie will get
her and hand her over to us and
we will keep her until the reward is
offered. 1t means thousands to us
to get this child Ruth and we will
get her too in January. Address
me in Chicago. We will go right
on"
The letters bear evidence of sim
cerity and the police consider them
the work of cranks.
A queer acting individual who
was around the city early in the
week declaring that he would soon
be rich is supposed to have been
the recipient of them. He has gone
eastward and has not been located.
The authorities in Washington
have been notified of the departure
of the crank and of the contents of
the letters.
The police have been unable to
locate any one definitely and con-
slider further seach hereabouts use
less, as the parties have evidently
gone East.

The limit of debate has not yet
been decided on, but the managers
hope to have the sbill passed and

ALWAYS READY FOR A ROW.
The Washington Negro Bully Cry
ing shame TO the Nations
Capital.

Chicago Times Washington Special, Dec a.
There is a wrong being done.
Eastern papers are lying and SLAM
derlng Representative Clark of Mis-
souri,. Not because Of any evil he's
done, but because these sensitive
eastern journals didn't like Clark's
Fourth of July speech at Tammany
hall, wherein he prophesied the near
coming of western president. Last
Saturday Clark sat in restaurant at
lunch. 1t wa9 in the evening. A
coterie Of drunken negroes came in.
They We're simply a band of black
bullies, bad at all times, made worse
by Saturday night debauch. They
assaulted Clark as they would have
assaulted any other respectable white
man who might have chanced to be
present. Clark was unarmed. He
seized knife from the table and cut
the ringleader of the roughs IN the
neck. And the only deplorable fea-
ture is that he did not cut his head
plumb off.
That is all there is to the story.
Representative Clark was sober, the
negroes were drunk. Clark was
peaceable, the negroes were ruf1ians
spelling for row. And Clark s Of
fense is that he defended himself
from their lawlessness. On this GER
tain eastern papers are founding fake
and falsehood for the sole purpose of
injuring Clark, and all because his
Fourth of July speech soured their
eastern stomachs. They won't be
able to harm Clark. Missouri is not
in the habit of letting New York
hold the light while she selects her
representatives.. AS a fact Repre-
sentative Clark is an honorable,
high minded gentleman and one of
the best men in the unusually strong
delegation which Missouri sends to
the house. As a further fact there
is no place on earth where the negro
bully and brawler has such license
and such leave as right here at the
capital. The capital negro as a class
has been crying case for vigilance
committee for long and patient
time.

How Money Grows at Per Cent.
From the New York Recorder.
At the birth of his son a father
placed at interest at 6 per cent the
sum of 81, 900, and each year in
vested all the interest at the same
rate. When the boy was II years
old he found himself the possessor
of SO, ,399 Sc. Being young man
of pluck and energy and anx-
ious to try his hand in unaided
competition, be told his father to
keep the money and he would take
his chances with the poor boys of
his acquaintance. When the son
was so years old the father notified
him that his fortune had grown to
over $1S, APO, using round mum
bers. At 20 the father called his
SON S attention to his fortune of
over $59 ,OOO, and since the son had
received the rewards of his indus
try he did not still take possession
of the fortune. The father soon
afterward died, and in his will re-
quired his executors to keep the
principal and interest loaned until
the son should receive it or be re-
moved by death. The latter lived
to a good old age, and on his sons
Tooth birthday, besides the accu-
mutations of a busy and prosper
life, was encumbered with a fortune
of $3.50 300.

MIR. J. 2. Blaize, an extensive
real estate dealer in Des Moines,
Iowa, narrowly escaped one of the
severest attacks OF pneumonia while
in the northern part of that state
during a recent blizzard, says the
SdtWd q RfUicW. Mr.. Blaize had
occasion to drive several miles dur.
ing the storm and was so thorough
ly chilled that he was unable to get
warm, and inside of an hour after
his return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung
fever. Mr.. Blaize sent to the near
est drug store and got a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, of
which he had often heard, and took
a number of large doses. He says
the effect was wonderful and in a
short time he was breathing quite
easily. He kept on taking the medi-
cine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize
regards his cure as simply wonder
full. For sale by c. A, Buckner,

Taxing the Defenders.
From the St. Louis Republic

Champ Clark told truth which
ramlfies well into things when he
said in his Oklahoma speech that if
we were engaged in general foreign
war there would be more volunteer
soldiers from that Territory than
from any State in the Union, and
that one halt would be old Union
soldiers and the other half old rebel
soldiers,
Not only is that about true, but it
has an application beyond the adj
mission of new State.
Men upon whom the country re-
lies for fighting strength in times of
danger have rather stronger claim
for favoritism in taxation than men
who do not expect to fight and who
have great property interests to be
defended. We 90 along without any,
thing worth calling an army because
we trust the capacity of our citizenry
to organize quickly into fighting
force of irresistible strength if a
menacing attack is ever made upon
us. One of the chief purposes Of
government is to provide for the
common defense. The manhood
which saves the Government and the
property it protects the expense of a
vast standing army ought not to be
taxed more heavily than the pos
SCISSORS of wealth.
In proportion to population there
are far more effective fighting men
west of the Mississippi than east Of
the river. They will not grumble
tver bearing a fair share OF taxation,
but they rightly contest the contin-
ued existence of a system which
taxes their homes and lets wealth
90 scot free.

The meetings throughout the state

OF Agriculture should be allowed a
much larger appropriation than IT

cripple the Board, should furnish IL
