snappers Of New York and was an ardent
supporter and friend of Mr.. Cleveland.
These things recommended him to the
President, ard as he was not positively
unfit for the position, the President Sc
leeted him. 1t was largely political
choice. Hill and Murphy undoub tedly
took the right view of it, when they
construed it as an indirect attack upon
them. made purposely and with a view to
crippling their influence in New York
State. Their determination to fight it
was about the only one they could come
to unless they were prepared to abjectiy
surrender Tie President challenged
them and they accepted the challenge,
and came off victorious. The meaning
of the result is that the Democratic
mem bers of the Senate are not inclined
to bow down to Mr.. Cleveland and blind
ly do his bidding. 1t is a notification to
him that in filing the offices in the
various States he will not be permitted
to ignore the wishes of the Democratic
Senators from those States, or to con-
suit only q favored few of the cuckoo"
order. 1t is a notification to him that he
must abridge his self sufficiency or there
will be trouble. No more bossism of the
offensive kind which he has INDUCED in
since he was inaugurated is to be toler-
ated. The prerogatives of the Senators or
what they regard as their prerogatives,
are going to be defended. Whether there
will bepeace and harmony between the ap-
pointing and the consenting powers of the
government hereafter will depend upon
how well Mr.. Cleveland has comprehend
ed and taken to heart the lesson which
the Senate has administered to him.

makes delicious biscuit. If you squeeze it,
you will obtain a valuable oil, resembling

This oil also enters largely into the manu-

kernels are also used in the manufacture Of

was IS feet feet of water in the new pit
At this time they made the discovery
that the water was salt and rose and

hcial channel suggested itself, and they
searched the shore and, building Golfer
dam at suspicious spot, they found the
sand and beach gravel replaced by rocks,
and on removing them they found five
Well-constructed drains converging into
one main channel. A high tide carried
the dam away and they went in some
distance from the shore to sink shaft
and strike the channel, as they could not
afford to rebuild the dam. The first pit
missed the channel but on digging the
second one they encountered a large
boulder at a depth of 35 feet, which,
when pried up, was followed by rush
Of water which filled the pit to tide level
They tried driving spiles but as the ap-
planes at hand were very crude the
effort was failure. Shortly after an
other shaft was sunk on the south side
of the money pit to the depth of 118 feet,
and they tunneiled directly under the
money pit, and while lat dinner a ire

The New York Post says Mr.. Dole was
perfectly right when he told our govern
ment that it had TO right to interfere
with him. Then it follows that all
this attempted interference with him on
the part Of the President was perfectly
wrong. and all the arguments that the
Post and other administrative organs
have been making in support of it were
perfectly wrong also. The Post now
confesses, though tardily, that the Presi-
dent has been meddling with what was
none of his business.

Augusta is now having its row with

pany Undertook to l-eep their tracks
open. whereupon, on the plea that the
streets were being made inconvenient
and dangerous for teams, the Mayor Or
dered the tracks to be covered again with
snow. T,..is was done, and to make the
snow stick water was poured on to it
from hydrant. A cold snap ensuing,
the snow froze up solid, and the COM
pany had to employ gang of men to
pick out their tracks. They have notified
the city that they shall expect it to pay
for this work, and probably it will
have to. The final upshot of the matter
will be, as it has been everywhere else,
that the tracks will be kept open, the
streets kept safe by cooperation between
the. city and the company, and everybody
be opnvenienced. Experience has proved
that 1T is perfectly feasible to keep the
tracks open and still keep the streets in
a condition safe for ordinary travel.

A DEFEAT FOR TIE PRESIDENT.

of the Supreme Court is Il severe defeat
for the President and triumph for Sen.

of Hornblower was not Il conspicuously

While fairly good lawyer and man of
good character, he had not won posi-

A decision of great Importance to all
pensioners was rendered last Saturday
by Judge Bradley of the District Su-
preme Court of Washin gton, DC. 1t
sustained the contention of Judge Long of
Michigan that the commissioner Of pen
sions had no right to deprive him of his
pension without due notice and hear
ing. The ground taken by the learned
judge was that the rating given for
permanent and total disability by one
commissioner was not subject to review
or reversal by a successor. Further ex-
animation to determine affixed status is
unwarranted by law. If the power to
withdraw or withhold a pension does
not exist the power to suspend its pay
ment as step toward withdrawal does
NOT. If the power to suspend payment
exists and is unlimited save by officials
discretion, the requirements of notice
Of hearing and testimony as TO with
drawa1 are of no value to the pensioner,
for the suspension at discretion might
continue during life and amount to
withdrawal" The law was that in cases
Of fraud names could not be stricken
from the rolls except upon satisfactory
proof. and under the act of June q -s79.
prescribing the method of purging the
pension roll pensions could not pc
Withdrawn or reduced except upon
notice to the pensioner and sworn
testimony. As Judge Long had been
restored to the rolls since the action
was begun it would not be neces-
sary for the writ of mandamus asked for
to issue, but judgment would be entered
against the commissioner of pensions,

F0RHUsil SENTENCED,

MoBERLY, No., Sept. 27.-Rea
son Forbush, colored, who was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree for killing Granville Hayes
in Howard County in 1892. was to-
day sentenced by Judge Hockaday
to be hanged at Huntsville on Nov.
81 next.
The death sentence was short, moi
occupying more than five minutes
in its delivery. 1t was solemn and
impressive, the Judge and specta-
tors being visibly effected.
The doomed man was the coolest
and most self-possessed person IN
the courtroom. He held cigar in
his mouth during the entire sen.
tence. While the Judges voice
was clear, it trembled at times.
The prisoner signed his applica-
ton for an appeal without any emo
ton. In fact, throughout the en-
tire trial he has shown the utmost
indifference, only saying ne would
like to get a chance to kill six or
seven of the witnesses against him.
He was allowed 40 days in which to
file bill of exceptions.

The Funeral OF Mrs. Clarion.

The funeral of Mrs. E. H. Clayton
at the Presbyterian Church Friday
morning was largely attended. The
services were conducted by Rev. A.
A. Wallace, pastor of the church.
The pallbearsrs were TIL. Marshall,
r. L. Morris, DIR. Z. S. Cave, J. g.
Trimble, Wood Trimble and r. M.
White. The first four were ushers
at the marriage of the deceased,
which took place in this city about
five years ago. Mrs. Clayton, while
she had not had good health for the
last two or three years, was only
sick about twenty minutes at the
time of her death. She had retired
in her usual health and got up to
see how the children were. On
going back to bed she told her hus-
band that she had trouble in getting
her breath. Before a physician
could be summoned she was dead.
She leaves a husband and two little
girls, one two and a half and the
other four years old. Her husband
is well known in Mexico, having
travelled through here for one of the
largest hardware firms in st. Louis,
although he had just given up his
position in order TO be at home with
his family. This community ex-
tends its sincerest sympathy to the
relatives in this their hour of trouble.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
q. y. iiast's Marrow Escape.


q. Y. Bast, of Vandslia, and his
cousin, A. F. Davault, had quite an
exciting adventure on tteMississippi
River at Louisiana few weeks ago.
Mr.. Bast had constructed a pleasure
boat, propelled by gasoline engine.
and he and his cousin were making
a trial trip, when some gasoline
which had been spilled became ig-
nited, and despite the Efforts of the
crew could not be extinguished. The
boys took to the water and were res,
cued by some parties in a skiff. The
boat was so badly burned as to be
rendered unfit for further service.
Fortunately, it did not sink and the
machinery was saved. Mr.. Bast
says he intends to try i! again, and
will yet own and run the handsomest
pleasure boat on the Mississippi
River.
Mr.. Bast is the son OF G. A. Bast,
of Mexico, formerly a resident of
our county, and has many friends
here who will be glad tt, learn that
he escaped without injury and, be-
yond good ducking, was not in
convenieuced by the accident.

The Sugar Planters.

from the LOUISVILLE Courier journal
The Louisiana sugar planters who
have deserted the Democratic party
and gone over to the Republicans
because Democratic Congress
abolished the sugar bounty, say that
they were opposed to the sugar
bounty, but having been forced on
them, they are opposed to any
party that would take it away from
them. In other words, they were
horrified at the idea of being de-
bauched, but having been debauch-
ed they turn their backs on any
party which won't debauch them
and flee to the only party which
has ever debauched them. The
more people of this kind the Demo-
cratic party loses the worthier it is
of public confidence.

Baptist Association.

The Audrain County Baptist AS
sociation met at Sailing on Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week and
transacted some important business.
j. A. Guthrie, of this city, was re-
elected Moderator and J. E. Jesse
re elected Clerk. All denomina-
tional interests were discussed, and
the special matter of district mis-
sions was talked upon. An execu.
tive board of ten members was
elected. The next meeting will be
held at Benton City on the first
Tuesday after the fourth Sunday in
September, 1895.
Rev. J. S. Conner, of Vandalia,
preached the annual sermon this
year. Rev. w. r. Craig will preach
the annual sermon next year.
The cash and pledges for the COM
ing year amounted to about 500.
All the Baptist churches in the
county were represented and Gilead
church was added to the association.
The entertainment at Sailing was all
that could be desired. 1t was one oi
the most profitable meetings evel
held.
This association meets every year
The object is to aid country churches
of poor finance in paying their sala
ried pastors, to place bibles in the
homes of those who cannot afford
them, and to attend to the genera
interest OF all the churches in the
association. A county missionary
is also appointed to look after the
Sunday School interests. 1t is
profitable organization and has done
much good.

Dr. iiearna and the Widow of amos
Stiiweil Ramarried-The Mur-
der OF the Millionaire Pack
er Recalled.

A dispatch from San Diego, Cal. :,
under date of September "a, says:
1.-The utmost astonishment is felt
in the city on account Of fresh de-
velopments in the Hearne -Stilwell
case, interest in which was lately
revived by the divorce of Mrs. Still
we'll from her hus band, DIR. J. C.
Hearne. Last Saturday morning at
10 O'Clock DR.. Hearne and Mrs.
Stilwell met by previous appoint
ment at Judge Pierce's chambers.
There were present but two wines
ses. The contracting parties were
asked "if they wanted to be mar,
ried," and they with one voice re-
piled, "we do"
They were directed to stand up,
and the Judge, in solemn cadence,
repeated, "As the heart panteth for
the water brook" etc., and by vir'
tue of authority in him vested pro-
nounced them husband and wife.
The divorce was granted on the
ground of cruelty and failure to pro-
vide, in opposition to Hearne's
wishes, Mrs. Hearne being allowed
to resume her former name, but
Hearne, a few days before, it is
said, had threatened that if the case
was prosecuted he would charge his
wife with the murder of her former
husband, Amos J. Stilwell, the
millionaire pork packer of Hanni-
bal, Mo-, whose taking away early
in the winter of 1888 was never sat
isfactorily explained.
AS Mrs. Hearne was very bitter in
the denunciation of her husband be-
fore and after securing the divorce,
her complete change of front is
causing great amount of gossip.
Thus far the contracting parties to
the marriage have not resumed
marital relations but continue to re-
side apart.
