A Narrow Escape.

Saturday morning as the east bound
Missouri Pacific came in and just be-
fore the train reached the crossing at
MOniteau street a countryman drove
two horse wagon over the crossing.
He was a little slow and the engine
got within a few feet of the wagon
just as he drove of. The wagon con-
tanned two ladies. The spectators at
the depot held their breath as they
witnessed the affair, expecting to see
the whole party instantly killed by
the engine.

DEAR SIR.-There are two pririies

THE MIDSUMMER SALE
O; Clothing Of the St. Louis
Clothing Company.

The past has been red-letter week
with the st. Louis Clothing company.
During the last seven days this
company has disposed of more goods
of the kind than ever sold in the same
length of time in Sedalia.
They started out at the commence
ment of the week with the usual num-
Der of statesmen, and after few days
they were worked down and three adj
ditional men were employed and still
the people came and could not get
waited on promptly.
This midsummer sale is q new
feature in Sedalia and it takes.
None but the business acumen of
|. Frensdcrf would have prompted
,ch a sale.
The stacks of clothing and gents
furnishing goods that this sale has
moved, is simply enormous.
Stupendous is a better word to ex-
press the magnitude of this sale.
People have come from every quar-
ter OF the country and city-focked
there in droves, came in wagons, by
nilroad and by the electric line to
,uy the demands Of the days, as peo-
pie will have seasonable wear, especi-
ally it they can get them cheap
enough.
Such has been the experience of
the st. Louis Clothing company in
this midsummer sale.
Now for the future.
In order that all may be accom-
modated. this great sale will continue
another week, and the manager de-
clares none shall 90 away empty hand
ed if prices and quality has any bear
Ing oD their disposition to purchase.

HERE Is ANOTHER.

This gives fair sample of the COM
plant that poured in upon the board
of health at that day 1t makes no
difference how great soever the smell
of the matter complained of, nine
times out of ten, the removal of it
causes a greater stink.
The proper and faithful discharge
of the duties imposed upon board of
health, is no sinecure, by any means.
And all good citizens should aid and
not hinder them in their commenda-
BILE work.

This. certainly, is a just complaint.
But as reasonable as it may appear,

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

HOUSE DEADLOCK.
An Attempt to Report the Tucker
Bill is Strenously Resisted.

0AAA 40
The Committee on Election ON
President and Vice President met yes
terday and reported the bill to repeal
the existing federal election laws,
The Republican members Of the COM
mittee voted against a favorable re-
port and the Democrats in favor ofit,
On the proposition to take the mat
ter up on Tuesday instead Of Satur-
day two Democrats, Lawson, of
Geogia, and Stallings, of Alabama,
voted with the Republicans. Mon
day, it will be remembered, will be a
holiday there, it being the centennial
of the laying of the cornerstone Of
the capitol by George Washington,
and both houses will adjourn on that
day. Therefore these two concluded
that it would be best when the con-
sideration of the bill began to run
that there should be no break till it
was finished. The Republicans in the
house then began to filibuster, Mr.
Tucker, who has charge of the meas
ure, was instructed to report it for
consideration on Tuesday Before he
could do this The Republicans began
their filibustering. In fact they be-
gan just as soon as the minutes Of
yesterday were read. Mr.. Burrows
leading, with Mr.. Reed sitting at his
side counseling him. There were
several anti-silver men who refused to
vote Mr.. Tracey, of New York, was
one of them, and gives the excuse that
the measure was that Of Mr.. Fitch, of
New York, and that it should not be
taken up during his absence Mr.
Fitch at the last session introduced a
resolution providing for tine inyestl-
cation of the administration Of the
office of supervisor of elections Of
New York by John |. Davenport
He was placed at the head of the COM
mittee to make the investigation and
was the man selected by the commit
tee on the election of president and
vice-presldent to make the fight.
There were many democrats absent,
and the filibusters managed matters
so well that they finally forced Mr.
Tucker to content himself with the
passage Of a resolution requiring all
absentees who were not away be-
cause of sickness of themselves or in
their families to return at once. The
Republicans got first blood on this
bout. The filibustering resulted in
advising the Democrats Of the temper
of their antagonists on the propo-
sition to repeal the election laws.

A Short Cotton Crop.

MEMPHIS, September 15.-Letters
received by the Secretary of the Cot

show that the cotton crop has been
seriously damaged and cut short.

Charleston Cotton Exchange writes
that this years crop will be cut 40
per cent as compared with the 9,OOO,-

be there before it can be distributed,
in my opinion there is no greater OBJ
stacle to the creation of wealth than
an unjust measure of value. An ap-
probation measure of value checks in
dustry, stiles enterprise and robs the
industrious classes, while the bond
holder, aunuitant and money lender
thrives on the artificial cheapness. |
believe the guantitative theory of
money to be indisputable. l believe
the evil of restricting the currency
and causing an artificial fall in prices
to be indisputable, and l believe that
the fact that the present depression,
agricultural and commercial is main
ly caused by alterations that have
taken place in the currency laws is
also indisputable. | also believe that
if England had not refused to cooper
ate with other countries at the recent
conferences, owing to wrong, selfish
and utterly mistaken policy, we should
have escaped, and other countries
would have escaped the misery, suffer-
ing and despair which have been so
prevalent during the past twenty
years owing to the fatal policy of con-
tracing the currency of the world.

The Nash Barnett Case.

The second hearing Of the celcbrat-
ed case Of Nash and Barnett, charged
with the killing of John McCart, in
December last began in the criminal
court at Shreveport, La, yesterday.
On April 2, 1898, Nash was found
guilty as charged and Barnett guilty
without capital punishment. On
May l3, 1898, Kid Nash was sem
fenced to be hanged and Barnett was
sentenced to imprisonment for life.
An appeal to the supreme court was
granted each defendant. The verdict
was assailed on the ground that Juror
Perry was uot 21 years Of age when
serving az juror trying the accused,
At che term Of the supreme court
held at Monroe the decision Of Judge
S. l., Taylor was sustained, but when
the courts attention was called to the
point involving Juror Perry's age, a
new hearing was granted, and the
court in session at Opelousas ordered
new trial.
Accordingly, both men were
arralgned in court yesterday for trial
anew, for their crime. The defense
asked for and obtained u severance,
and the work of impanelling a jury
to try Nash, is now IN progress

READY FOR THE RACE.

KIOwA, KAN, Sept. 15.-Every-
thing is ready for the opening of the
strip tomorrow. Thousands OF pee
pie are massed here, and there are
crowds at Arkansas City, Orlando and
other points. Scenes occur which are
beyond the power of description. 1t
is estimated that between 10000 and
10000 people will make the run to-
morrow
At Arkansas City there is growing
feeling that the work of registration
should be stopped, as with the con-
slant new arrivals it will be practically
impossible to register everybody. 1t
is settled that all who apply for certI-
ticates and fail to get them will go in
to the territory anyhow, locate claims,
make their filings at the land Office
and defend their title in the courts.
The lawyers will reap the greatest
harvest in the territory next year.
The interior department VIII not
abandon registration, but Secretary
Smith wired orders that two more
booths shall be opened for registra-
ton.
There is much suffering on account
of scarcity Of water and it is feared
that many, among the eager and ex-
cited thousands, will experience the

Caught IN the Tolls

OF that lurking foe, chills and fever,
we often struggle vainly to free our
selves from its clutch Palllatives
there are without number, but if you
want real remedy, as Of course you
do if afflicted with this abominable
malady, hasten to buy and persistently
use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. If
you follow this suggestion permanent
restoration to health will reward you,
Every form of malarial disease is per-
manently eradicated by the Bitters,
which is likewise a reliable safeguard
against maladies Of this type. Not
alone on tins continent, but through
out the tropics, it is justly regarded as
a complete antidote to miasma poison
in air or water. No less effective is ii
for disorders of the stomach, liver aud
bowels, rheumatism, kidney COM
plants and nervousness. No one So
journipg in a malarious region, or
who is subjected to outdoor exposure
in rough weather. or to excessive men
tai or physical strain, should be with
out this fine defensive tonic.
