mittee, engaged on the tariff sehed-

obtained a large majority, declares
that the tariff will be revised in the
line mapped out by the Democrat
ie party, with due consideration te

She spoke without a Tongue

One of the most remarkable cases
on record was that of a woman, well
authenticated at the beginning OF
the last century, who had no tongue,
and yet spoke with perfect clearness.
She was brought to Lisbon, in
Spain, by Count d'Ericeya, from
Monsary, in the Territory of Elvas,
Portugal, and the following account
is given of by an eminent divine:
"She is II years old, but does
not look more than seven. She can
pronounce distinctly every letter in
the alphabet. She has not the least
bit of a tongue, but the teeth in both
sides of her under jaw turn very
much inward and almost meet. Her
chief difficulty is in eating, for while
others move their food with their
tongues, she is forced to use her
finger. She says that she tastes we'll.
Her voice, though very distinct, is a
little hollow and like that of old peo-
pie who have lost their teeth.

A VERY X TOWN.
Bowling Green, NO.. Suffering From
a Lack Of Water.

BOWLING GREEN, Mo-, Nov. IA
The drought in this section has
reached a stage that makes it a
most serious matter. The city wa
water supply is limited to wells and
a small spring. Of the first only a
few contain water that is fit to drink
and the rest of the citizens rely on
the water wagons that are hauling
pond water, which is so scarce that
they have to go four or five
miles out of town for it. Even the
farmers who have stock, notwith-
standing the extra preparations
made for a drought, are beginning
to feel the need of water, too. The
citizens r sinking an artesian well
but up to date nothing certain has
resulted. The electric light plant
and the city mill closed down for
lack of water this morning.

Bluffed the Kansas JayhaWker.
From the Boonevile mo ! Democrat

From the Bonneville Mo- Democrat.
During the winter Of 1888 the
editor Of the DEMOCRAT was q pas
senger on a night Wabash or North
Missouri train, bound for St. Louis.
The bloody and fratrieidal war OF
the period had already assumed i'm
mense proportions and in a frenzy
OF blood shook its fiery hair in the
heavens.
The notorious leader OF the "kan-
sas Red Legs" Jim Lane, was
also a passenger on the same train
and sat on the same seat beside us.
We personally knew him, and late
In the night as it was we were en-
gagged in conversation, and OF course
about the war. He was in a fer
oeious and denuneiatory mood and
minced not his words. He talked
ia a loud voice, and all on board
the car could hear him without
effort. He was full Of frown and
bristle and fire and birthstone
against the cd rebels and
traitors" and denounced the con-
ductor on the railroads as traitors to
their country who ought to be
hung.
Just at the moment of these
u%tterances Charley Johnson, who
first became a conductor on that
road in 1857, who is nov a con-
ductor on the Columbia branch,
and resides with his family at 1924
Lucas avenue, st. Louis, happen
ed to pass along the aisle in the
discharge of his duties. He heard
Lanes bitter and sweeping de-
nunciation of conductors and took
o~ffense at it. Stopping in the aisle,
he pronounced the charge false and
and demanded that it be retracted.
Much excitement reigned and a
scene was eminent. Lane protested
that he did not know Johnson, or
whether he was a rebel and traitor
or not. Johnson was not satisfied
and said the words must be retract-
ed or by Cd he would stop the
train, call his brakeman and put
him off in the middle of the prairie.
1t was then after midnight and the
thermometer below zero, and the
train on the long, straight stretch
between Benton City and Mex
leo. Lane arose and protested.
Johnson reached for the bell cord
and swore the charge must be re.
tracted or explained or he would
stop the train and put him off in
the snow. We sought to avert the
threatening collision and perhaps
a bloody scene by telling johnson
we thought the General did not
mean him, for he didn't know him.
johnson again grasped the bell cord
and swore be would put him off
The passengers stood up expecting
: serious trouble. Several Of the EN-.
ployes of the road backed Johnson.
Lane seeing that johnson meant
what he said assured him he die
not mean the remark for him

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Nov. IA
Tremendous excitement reigns at
Warner, a station on the Iron Noun
tain road twenty miles south OF
here, over the lynching, shooting
and burning early this morning of
a negro named Nelson, who a week
ago murdered another negro.
A mob, consisting exclusively of
colored people, broke down the
jail doors, hung Nelson to a con
venient tree, riddled his body with
bullets and set fire to it.
This morning fragments of it were
found by the Post Dispatch cor
respondent, dangling from the limb.
1t had been raining hard all night,
and the moisture saved a part OF
the body which was an almost I'M
recognizable mass of roasted flesh.

THE F. Il l.. u, of Audrain
county demanded that the Chair
man of the Audrain County Demo
cratic Committee should askGovern-
or Stone to call the Legislature to-
gether to pass a ''stay law" stay
ing the payment OF taxes and debts
for one year. Hon. c. q. Danuel,
Chairman of the Committee, was in
Mexico this week and when asked
by a representative Of the LEDGER
concerning the matter, said: There
is no occasion, in my judgement,
for calling together the people to
urge Governor Stone to call Especial
session of the Legislature to enact
legislation looking to ''stay law"
to prevent the collection of taxes
and debts for one year, or any other
period. Indeed, in my judgment
such a course on the part of the
Governor would only tend to make
matters worse rather than mend
them. The fact is, I see no reason
whatever for converting Legislature
in extraordinary session for the
purpose named, nor do I believe
any great number Of our people
see any necessity for such action.
There being no foundation in fact
for the present stringency IN money
matters, the cloud brought about
by imaginary causes will quickly
vanish and normal conditions re.
sumo full sway in the land, and in
my judgement within six months
from this date all evidences Of
s~tringency will have passed ano
the money now tied up in old stock
ings and in safety vaults will be

that there will be a plenty rather
