FARnERs WANT LEGISLATION.
An Extra Session Of the Missouri Gen
eraI Assembly Asked For.

CARTHAGE, Mo-, October IA
meeting Of farmers was held to-day
in this city for the purpose Of dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of petition
ing Gov. Stone to convene the Leg.
islature that a stay law may be
passed, to enable the people, and
especially the farmers, to tide over
the present financial stringency.
Editor Milhellan of the Western
Critic suggested the propriety Of
having similar meetings in every
county in the State. A committee
was appointed to formulate an
appeal and to obtain a larger at
tendance. An adjournment was
taken for three weeks to await the
action of the Farmers Alliance
The farmers present intimated that
owing to the low prices received for
crops, as we'll as shortage, it will be
impossible to meet taxes and in
tsrest and maintain homes, and
therefore such action as was at
tempted to-day was imperative.

DOWN 90 THE T
The Rush to Chicago Will Reach
High Water Mark.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-While it is
not expected that the Worlds Fair
rush will be quite so great as it was
the three days preceding Chicago
Day, the traffic will be far above the
nominal, multitudes of people hav-
ing determined to avail themselves
of the cheap rates who otherwise
would not have come to the Fair at
all. Passenger rates between a num-
Der of different points in the West
we're materially reduced on account
of the reductions to the Chicago
Worlds Fair. The combinations Of
locals with the reduced rates to Chi
cago bring about three additional
reductions. From St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Kansas City the rate
until November Is will be $11.4O.
This rate will be available only on
the direct lines by which short line
one-way regular standard rates are
probably applied. Arate or 5000
from st. Louis to st. Paul and Min
neapolis will be available. This
rate will apply in both directions.
The rate from St. Louis to Duluth,
effective from October Is until Oct.
81, will be $12.

MARIAN, TEXAS, Oct. 16.-I am

LEDGER last week that Mr.. J. A.

he came from. It is a shame to let
such a good horse leave Missouri.
We are here with some of our
stock yet. Times are harder here
than we expected to see them. The
cotton crop is not as good as the peo-
pie thought it would be. It will
average one-half a bale to the acre

The first Lodge Of the Ancient
Order OF United Workmen was in-
stituted on the night OF October ~,
1868, by John Jordan upohurch
and thirteen others. At the close OF
the Year 1892 it embraced 4,6ls
lodges and sos ,b75 members. Up to
that date it had paid benefits to the
amount Of s44 $40, 93S, so, and had
distributed relief to the extent OF
81, 1919, 126 "a, besides incidental re-
lief that it is not necessary to speak
of.
Such a record entities it to public
confidence, and should inspire every
member with zeal and devotion.
On the first of August, 1898, it
embraced 323, lat members, which
implies a liability on beneficiary ac-
counts of $646, 274 900. But three
life insurance companies in the
world exceed this amount in CORE
spending liability, which fact places
it in the front rank of associations
of all kinds which pay death indem.

of the responsibility to those who

The history of this order in Mis-

Since its introduction in this state
its membership has grown to 25,'
272, and it has distributed benefits
to widows and orphans to the amount
of 81, 273, 993, and is now paying
benefits at the rate of $642,25S PEE

raE ELECTRIC LIaar MATTER.
Councilman Jne. N. Davis Gives His
Reasons for Shutting OF the
Electric Lights.

the Editor of the Ledger,
BoosvILLE, NO., October i6.-l
Believing the proper way to get the
electric lighting question before the
citizens Of our town properly is to
agitate it, ! herewith submit some
points of interest. / was induced
to offer the resolution in the Council
at the last meeting, making the
peremptory order to shut off the
lights, for the reasons:
First. The town has very poor
service and owing to the present dis
tribution Of lights, is virtually in
the dark.
Second. The Council, after it
had read the ordinance the second
time, submitting to vote the prop
osition which was agreed to by the
Council and the Electric Light Com
pany, became convinced from ex-
pressions on the street that it would
not carry, and abandoned it.
Third. The Council was unan-
imous in deciding that we were
paying too much for our present
system OF lighting, and that the
money could be used TO better adj
vantage in street improvement,
thereby giving employment to the
host of laboring men who would
otherwise be unable to support
themselves and their families through
the coming winter.
AS to the best plan for supply
ing the city with cheap lighting,
am as yet undecided, but am per-
suaded the committee is pursuing
the proper course in securing in
formation that will be Of service to
them in adjusting this very knotty
question. Have received letters
from Albany, Macon, Marshall,
Kirksville, Fayette, Pierce City and
st. Charles and expect many others
on the subject, which will be put
in the form of an abstract and sub.
mitted to the people at the proper
time.
l don't think I am called on as
representative of the people of the
Second Ward to consider the claims
of the gentlemen who compose the
Electric Light Company for a mo.
ment. 1 have the highest regard
for their enterprise, and am dispos'
ed, as my record will show, to give
them every opportunity to prose
cute their work in our town. Blu
when l find the same company
charging us $84 per year ane
Marshall $50 for arc lights, wher
the conditions are in favor of Mexi
co on account of cheap fuel, l an
constrained to ask why is this thus
1 hope by the next meeting of thu
Council we may arrive to som'
definite and intelligent conclusion
in the matter. J. NJ. DAVIS.

INTIMIDATED NON.UNIONIsIS.
striking Miners Visit Lab0rers Who
Would Not Join Them.

MACON, Mo-, Oct. 16.-A delega-
ton of 100 coal miners from Bevier,
Ardmore, Huntsville and Higbee,
visited mine No. 46, owned by the
Kansas and Texas Coal Co. near
Bevier this morning to persuade the
eight-day men working at the mine
to join them in their demands for
increase in wages. The company
was going to put in twelve more
this morning who wanted to work.
The presence of the big delegation,
while no threats were made, fright
ened the twelve additional men so
they did not go to work.
Sheriff White arrived from Ard
more and ordered the whole delega-
ton off the Coal Co.'s property.
Deputy Sheriffs will be stationed at
Bevier to prevent any disturbance
if there is any to take place.
The Superintendent of the Kan
sas and Texas Coal Co. is now in
Macon consulting the legal authori-
ties and wholesale arrests will most
likely follow. While the miners
delegation, which visited Mine 46
this morning, consider they did
nothing to cause them to be arrest
ed, nevertheless they are alarmed
over the prospect of it.
The coal company claims that
the presence of the Sheriff only pre-
vented the delegation from inter-
fering with the day men.

conservative Democrats were very
anxious for a compromise. Especial

who favored silver were very anxious
to have it coined at such a ratio as
to make 1t honest money and have
plenty of it. At that time extreme
silver men were "unalterably OPP

iikely-How The Action
May be Taken.

WARRINGTON, Oct. lit need
not surprise the country if this week
or the next the end Of this extra SEES
sion Of Congress should come. The
possibility Of SO speedy an adjourn
mont may surprise many, but there
is much more than an even chance
that the adjournment will come and
that in the meantime Congress will
continue its do nothing policy.
The situation to-day is this: If
it lies within the power Of the friends
of the administration in Congress
to bring to an end this anomalous
situation, 1t will speedily be done.
Speaker Crisp has already told his
especial friends in the House that
they must hustle to a conclusion be-
fore Saturday any legislation in
which they are nightly interested.
No other note of alarm has been
sounded. If the administration can
hold in line enough of the House
repealers to carry a motion fixing an
immediate date for adjournment it
will be done before Saturday. The
resolution, if adopted, will be sent
to the Senate where it becomes a
question of the highest privilege fol-
neither House can adjourn for more
than three days without the consent
of the other. There is no question
but that the senate would refuse as.
sent to such a proposition. In that
event section 3 of article 2 of the
constitution which provides that IL
case of disagreement between the
houses with respect to the time o
adjournment the President may ad'
liourn them to such time as he may
see fit becomes operative and it ii

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-It seems
now certain that the President and

In referring to the financial stu.
alton the st. Louis Republic, edi.
torially urging haste, says: "1f we
wait for international agreement,
free coinage will wait a long time.
If we wait until the country is ready
to make the jump from a single
gold standard to a single silver
standard, free coinage will be de-
layed quite as long.
a blmetallic currency and a BIZ
metallic standard are two distinct
things. England has a bimetallie
currency. Every country has that
when it uses the two metals as cur
reney. We have had it for years
without getting any nearer to a BIZ
metallic standard. A Senatorial
compromise on a new style of bi.
metallic currency with no reform of
the standard will leave US where we
are.
Neither House is willing to vote
for a single silver standard of Is to 1.
Good politics, good business and
good sense combine to urge all par
ties to a repeal of the Sherman act.
If a repeal cannot be effected under
the Senatorial rules, give u the
compromise and let us get along
with our botched currency AZ best
we may. Business ought to be nd
of the legislative fight. If the best
cannot be obtained, we would better

WAUsAU, Wis.,, Oct. 12.-Dear
Mr.. Hagedorn: The letter found
on Mr.. Kieffaber's body and pub

for me a grievious astonishment.
You have never said to me a rebuk-
ing word about him, only words of
kindness and friendship, and now
he closed his life with such an am
biguous letter. l am inclined to
think Mr.. Kieffaber insane when he
wrote this letter and when he killed
himself, because an honest man, as
he seemed to be, would never have
written such slanderous antiquities
with a sane mind. Even his men,
ton of that note you have in pos
session as my agent, is a token OF
insanity, as you and l know that we
talked about it when | was there
last September. There has nothing
been said about collecting said note /;
it was only mentioned that be owes
it. l am very sorry that out of your
agency leaks such absurdities. But
no honest man will believe them
and l hope yourself will not feel
afflicted because our compassion
with the dead man must stihe all
hard feelings.
Hoping you have buried with MIR.

man has brought upon you, 1 re-

county are, as a general rule, in a
prosperous condition and are prompt

the country people and the business
men is most happy. Our business
men sell a large amount of goods on
credit but the creditors are of the
very best class and appreciate the
courtesies extended by our business
