MYSTERIOUS MURDERS.
Five Bodies Found Floating
Down the Missouri River
in a Box.
Remains Supposed to Be Those
Of Missing Family at
Rulo, Mo.

ST. JOSEPH, No., March 2s.-Comp-
ton Mccoy, farmer residing few
miles south of this city, on the Missouri
river banks, was duck hunting on a
sandbar during the afternoon, when he
discovered large dry goods box float
ing with the current. He hauled the
box to the shore and breaking it open
was nearly overpowered by terrible
stencil which arose from the box. An
investigation disclosed that the box was
filed with dead bodies in an advanced
state of decomposition, the remains
being so badly decomposed that identi-
fication was impossible. Coroner Rey-
nolds made an investigation and found
the remains were those of four men and
one woman, and appearances indicate
they have been murdered, the remains
placed in the box and then set adrift.
The community is in a terrible state Of
excitement. 1t is supposed the remains
are those of a family of emigrants who
disappeared in mysterious manner
from near Rulo, 40 miles north of this
city, last fall.

Bondsmen Of Defaulter Axworthy
Make the Final Payment.
CLEVELAND, March 22.-The city of
Cleveland has relinquished all claim
against the bondsmen of w. S. AK
worthy, the defaulting city treasurer.
Axworthy's entertainments were dis
covered in 1888. The total amount that
he took from the city treasury was
about 100000. He fled to Europe
where his whereabouts were learned
and he was soon followed by the attor-
neys of his bondsmen. A compromise
was effected and, after turning his prop
erty to the bondsmen, Axwofthy re-
turned to this continent and settled in
a Canadian city. Tuesday the final
payment of the defalcation was made
to the city. It amounted in round
numbers to $3.50, 600. It is said that Ak
worthy viii now return to Cleveland.

MORGAN'S MISSION.

The Big Banker Said to Have Gone

NEW YORK, March eat is said
that J. Pierpont Morgan, who sailed on
the Majestic this morning, goes on an
important mission for the government.
1t is stated that he has been authorized
to negotiate for $50, 600, 900 in gold. The
report is apparently well founded. Mr..
Morgan was in Washington last week
and had long talk with Secretary
Carlisle. Of course neither Mr.. Nor
gan nor the secretary of the treasury
could be expected to say anything for
publication on the subject even if it
were true that Mr.. Morgan is going to
London for the purpose stated. How
ever, there are many things that seem
to confirm the report. Mr.. Morgan's
friends say that only the most impor-
tant business would take him out of the
country at this time.

WASHINGTON. March 22.-When the

NO GAG LAW IN MONTANA.

The esteemed Inter Mountain, >in n
Of its frequent spells OF nervousness,
denies the authenticity Of an interview
with Governor Richards, recently pub
lished in The INDEPENDENT. 1t appears
to think that he has no right to express
opinions without consulting the repub-
1ican triumvirate IN Butte and we pre-
sumo that upon his return the governor
will find an impudent message telling
him under no circumstances to leave
the state again without a carefully
adjusted gag. There are really no rea-
sons why the Inter Mountain should
fall into a rage and without furnishing
even a denial from the governor classify
THE INDEPENDENTS interview as a
"cooked-up u~tterance." His excellency
did not attempt to pass upon the merits
of the case; he merely gave an opinion,
based on his observations in Washing
ton, that the United States senate would
not admit the appointees. We assume
that as a free born American citizen he
has the right to express views from time
to time without being called down.
The possibility Of an extra session OF
the legislature has not been considered,
but we rise to protest when the Inter
Mountain says that ito call that body
together again would be a blow to the
good name of the state, a blow to the
republican organization Of the state and
nation" Our contemporary must re-
| member that Governor Richards is the
| official of the state of Montana and not
Of the republican party. He is not sup
posed to use the powers OF his office fol
political purposes rather than the good
of the state. Finally, he was not chosen
with the superstition that his thumbs
would 60 up whenever the "tirm" sale

THE REAL SENSATION MoNGERs.

, THE REAL SENSATION MONGERs.
The Washington News takes this OF
c~ouraging view of the business situa-
ton:
The sober good sense Of the American
business community seems to have tri-
umphed over the efforts Of a few sensation
mongers to create q panic. The business
and financial outlook for the summer ia as
satisfactory as we'll could be under our
present laws. The exports Of our own
products are likely to take the place of gold
exports, and our financial institutions have
shown that they are capable OF standing q
severe strain without breaking. The ex-
ports of our products have Put bills Of
exchange upon the market and made 1t no
longer necessary or profitable to ship gold
to settle our obligations abroad.
But who were the sensation mongers?
They we're the spectators in Wall street
who started the trouble with the crash
in Reading stock, followed it up with
the s%candalous developments OF the
cordage trust burst and created uneasi-
ness, distrust and failures in the specu-
lative centers of the country. The
money market became tight and then
the pinch extended to the channels OF
business. AS the News says, this run
OF disasters was finally stopped by the
good sense of the American people and
the certainty Of good times to follow the
present excellent outlook in commercial
and crop centers. 1t is to be noted
however, that the men who started the
trouble are the most persistent enemies
OF free coinage. They we're willing te
squeeze the country if they could scare
it into monometallism for all time
When congress meets they will be as
sembled to do their worst, but before
that time it is believed the people viii
thoroughly understand the authorship
of the panic and that our representa-
tives will not be led around with rings
in their noses because of tho causeles.
