A GUEST.
CALLAwAY.HAnProS:-One OF the
most pleasant and interesting
events took place at the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar l.. Hampton, 3
miles east OF Triplett. Wednesday
evening. Dec. 2sth, which was the
marriage OF their daughter, Miss
Mabel, to Mr.. c. Ed. Galloway,
Rev. Squire uniting their dsstinies.
The ceremony was very solemn and
impressive. The attendants were
Miss Kiula c. and Mr.. Ollie Hamp-
ton, sitter and brother OF the bride.
and Miss Ssl'ie .Callasay. sister of
the bridegroom, and Mr.. Joe Ballew.
Miss Mabel is an interesting young
iady and a favorite, among her
acquaintance one TO excite admira-
ton and respect. Mr.. Galloway Is
of n most excellent family, and a
charming and agreeable companion.
The marriage was OF an unpreten-
tious nature, only a few relatives
being present. A bountiful supper of
everything dainty and good was
served in honor of the event and a
number of handsome presents were
received. A reception was given

New Z. P. Officers.

At regular meeting of Launcelot
lodge. No. 245, Knights of Pythias,
keytesville, the following officers
were installed for the ensuing year
on Wednesday night:
Chancellor commander, B. II,
Smith; vice-chancellor, J. A. Collet;
prellate, John M. Mason; master of
the WORK, II. L. Sneed; keeper of
records and seal, II. C. Miller; mas
ter OF exchequer, c. F. Owen; master
alarms, D. b. Kellogg, jr.; inside
guard, j. K. Moore; outside, Thos.
Cooke. c. A. Chapman, was to have
installed master of finance, but was
not present.
The installation ceremonies were
conducted by Ed. T. Miller, district
deputy grand chancellor.
Launcelot lodge was instituted ON
the 3Oth of last June, and the va -"'
ious semi-annual reports, read W. 49, =
nesday night, showed the lodge ~.
be in prosperous condition fins
cially, and that eight new member .rr,
had been added since the lodge was :,
established.
The new officers are all Jealous
members of the order, and no doubt
a still larger increase in membership
will take place during the next six
months. The Knights of Pythias is
one OF the most desirable of secret
organization, and especially so on
account of its social features. The
order now has total membership
OF 325 900 in the United States, and
is rapidly growing.

A FRIEND.

An effort 10 being made to divide
the terms Of the circuit court, and
hold half Of them at Salisbury. We
do not believe that such q step 10 ad-
visatle for the reason that Salisbury
and Keytesville are only 8 miles
apart. and Keytesville, with her
street railway, is quite as accessible
a point as Salisbury, and besides is
more centrally located. In counties
where the county seat and larger and
more important towns are several
miles apart it isa matter of conven-
fence that terms of circuit court
should he divided, as IN Linn and
Macon counties. for instance. Lin
peus is the county seat, OF Linn
county, aud Brookheld is the.
largest town In that county,
having over 5000 inhabi-
tants. In Macon comfy Macon, the
seat. and LsPlata are about
30 miles distant. In these two coun-
ties there is some sense In dividing
the terms Of the court, but in Chair
ton there is not, and We sincerely
hope In the interests Of harmony and
good WIN ths. no division Of the
court win occnr, and that Salisbury's
viii abandon their Efforts In
that direction.

A CHECK ON PENSIONS.
The Present Bureau Authorities Make 1
More Difficult to Secure Pensions.

The Present Bureau Authorities Make II
More Difficult to Secure Pensions.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-An important
order revoking the celebrated com
pleted fled order of ex-Commissioner
of Pensions Raum has been issued by
Commissioner Lochren. The order says
that hereafter all pending claims in
each case will be taken up for consid-
Grafton in the order in which the con
sidered evidence is filed, the object
aimed at being practical return to the
method in vogue prior to 1889.
1t is calculated that under the new
administration a check is going to be
given to the rapid growth of the pen
sion list without the assistance of any
legislation. When the pension appro
priation bill was passed at the last ses.
sion of congress it was expected
that the amount appropriated
would be about s15,OOO,OOO short
OF the expenditures for the
fiscal year. 1t was anticipated
that deficiency of that amount would
have to be provided for at the coming
session. The average number of orig
inal pension cases passed on each month
is expected, however, to be about one
third what it was under the former ad
| ministration of the Office, and that, in
stead of deficiency, there will be q
surplus of about 81, 900, 600.

More Crevasses Made In the Levees In Ar
kansas and louisiana.
VIcKsBURe, Miss, May 15.-Messages
by telephone confirm the report of q
second crevasse at Brooks Mills, Ark,
on W. G. Kigers plantation, about seven
miles below Locl1port. 1t was fifty
feet long when discovered ct 8 o'clock
this morning. The water will also
flow into the Tensas basin, and taken
in connection with the first crcvasse is
expected to put it generally under
water.
The crevasses last year easily accom-
plished this result. Its effects will be
felt from Kiger's plantation, very
large one, to the mouth of the Red
river. 1t has been beloved by persons
who know the Tensas basin country
well that the Lakeport crevasse water
would have been carried off by Macon
and other bayous with but little injury
to the country, but with the additional
influx from Brooks mill this is impos-
sible.
The destruction OF crops Will he enor-
nous, as the entire country from the
Arkansas liae southwark is thickly set
tied and well improved. Opinions here
differ as to the extent to which this
crevasse will affect East and West Car
rol parishes, Louisiana. The river here
rose three inches in the twenty-four
hours ending at & p. m, now 47.7 on the
gauge. .a....
A crevasse occurred on Bayou La
Fourche, near Raceland, La, half q
mile above La Fourche crossing on the
west side; the break is 80 feet wide and
90 feet deep. Arcadia plantation is af-
fected The bayou has fallen six inches
in the last twelve hours No effort has
vet been made to close the break.

MADRID, May 1S.-The cortes has
Just finished the fifty-fourth hour OF
continuous sitting. Members and min

This evening the discussion continued
on a motion to give the govern

of municipal elections Republicans
and Carlists display apparently un-
broken stubborness; nevertheless it is
believed shortly after midnight the mo-

nearly a quarter Of 4 century secretary
of the missionary boaH 8ftiie Method
ist Episcopal church, Which has large
moneyed interests, III China, said yes.
terday that he had positive informar
tion from dignitaries Of 1.-THE Chinese
government and from shis own Chinese
missionaries that II the Chinese sexclu-
sion act Is carried into. effect and
Chinese are shipped from this county
TO China, deported simply because they
|are here without having taken out cer-
|,tificates, that Americans in China will
be likewise deported from that country
TO the United States. SO ~, g. l;Sa,
III the law is declared constitutional
by the supreme court, be said, Il an
.tieipate that there will be . speedy ex-
odus both Of missionaries and mer-
chants from China in retaliation for our
sending home Chinese from the United
States. Several years ago this course
was urged upon the Chinese government
by one Of the censors who was support
ed in his memorial by number Of
prominent officials. Ii Hung Chang,
at present viceroy of Chun-Le and
Shang Tung provinces, the great states
man OF China, whom Gen. Grant 80
heartily admired, has been very slow
to come to this view of the case
and very unwilling to relinquish his
marked friendship for the United
States. But there is strong ground for
believing that this great statesman has
at last come to the conclusion tharthe
only way to defend the honor and dig
nifty of his own nation, in view of these
expected acts of oppressive legislation
on our part and in view of the failure Of
diplomatic action to produce any rem
edy, is to enter upon course of re-
taliation and treat Americans in China
as Chinese are treated in America.
"1his is the most pcrilous time In the
relation of China to the United States
that has yet been encountered. 1t is
probable that the Methodist church will
make an appeal to the Chinese autheri-
ties in case the deportation is decided
upon in behalf of the Methodist mis-
sionaries now stationed in all of the
provinces.
WASHINGTON, May 15,-Returns OF
Chinese registration from thirty-five
out of the sixty-three internal districts
in the United States show that 8, l6o
Chinese have complied with the law.
The districts most densely populated
by Chinese have not yet made their re-
turns 1t is estimated that there are
ITO, 900 Chinese in the United States.
