Cleveland Not u Candidate.
NN. l.. WILSON SAYS He HAS NO
PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRATIONS.
The West Virginia Congressman is Posi-.
tive IN His Statement That the Pres.
ent Occupant of the White House
Does Net Want Another
Term

LONDON, Sept. 14.-A representa-
| tive of the press had an interview to-
day with Mr.. Wilson, the distinguish.
ed Congressman from West Virginia,
whose tariff measure has attracted so
much attention in Europe. Mr.. Will
son said that his trip across the At
iantic had greatly improved his
health. Unless his programme is
changed Mr.. Wilson will sail for
home September 20.
Referring to the recent election in
the State of Maine, the gentleman
from West Virginia said that he didn't
consider the Republican victory as
pronounced criticism of the tariff leg
fslation of Congress. According to
Mr.. Wilson, some of the Democrats of
Maine are temporarily angered at GER
tain tariff reductions, and especially
at the reduction ofthe duty on lum-
ber, but he added: "AIaine's situation
prevents that State from being an in
dex of the political currents of the
United States"
Mr.. Wilson decidedly stated that
President Cleveland had no thoughts
of again being a candidate for the
Presidency.
Messrs. Reed and Mckinley were, in
his opinion, candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination. but he thought the
Republican party would probably Sc
lect tariff conservative like Allison.
The United States, Mr.. Wilson also
said, would never revert to "McKin-
Ieyism, or to blind, greedy, selfish
protection. The tariff will not be at
tackled, and when Congress meets, its
errors, which are in detail only, will
be corrected"

Deceased had been Ill fer some

The Yellow Garter.


Someone has lately suggested
that it would be good idea if
women would dress in such way as
to show whether they are married or
single, and to carry the idea further
there might be special costumes for
Divorces. One form of the idea is
found in the yellow garters so many
silly young woman at Atlantic City,
Asbury Park and other seaside re :
sorts are wearing around one knee
with their bathing suits. There is a
superstition that if a girl wears a
yellow garter constantly and never
takes it off she will be married with.
in the year. Hence it is worn with
the bathing suit. Some of the fun.
loving youths also wear yellow gar
ters around their bare knees at the
bathing beach as a sort of take off.

Sending Message Round the World.
One day recently telegram was
put into the hands of the chief en-
gineer of the British Pos tai Ser.
vice, w. H. Preece, writes a
London newspaper correspond.
ent, with the request that he
would say whether i, could be sent
around the world by 4 certain route,
and if 80 what time it would take
and what it would cost per word.
When the writer of this article went
few days later to look after the
progress of his telegram, the chief
shook his head. s'The whole For
eign Department are at it," he said,
"and they are tearing their hair and
protesting, but you shall have it
soon.'
The route planned was rather err
ratio. 1t asked that a message be
sent by circuit which would take
in the entire telegraphic field ofthe
world, touching at the most remote
points, but never leaving the land
line or the cable; that is. never be-
ing transferred by post or messenger
from one point to another. Starting
at San Francisco, the route ran
across the continent to New York
by Vancouver and Montreal. From
New York it followed the worlds
northern telegraphic boundaries
through England, Norway, Sweden,
Russia and Siberia. Going south,
it touched at Nagasaki in Japan,
Hong Kong in China, Singapore,
Java and Sumatra, crossed Australia
and landed in New Zealand. Re-
turning to Singapore, it crossed to
Bombay, made detour to Ceylon,
then on to Alden, rounded the Cape
of Good Hope, leaving the line at
Zanzibar to call at Seychelles and
Mauritius, mounted the West Afri-
can coast to st. Louis in Senegal,
crossed the south Atlantic to Per-
nambuco, traversed South America
from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso;
and then went north through Mex.
leo to New York.
In few days, true to his prom
Use, Mr.. Preece had the answer
ready The telegram could be sent.
1t would require about fifty-six
hours, and would cost about go
francs ($1S) per word.

MISSING HRS. BROOKS.
From WeIlsyiiie IL Sill Un-
explained.

WELLsyILLE, Mo-, Sept. 13.-
Mrs. Lizzie Brooks. whose disap-
pearance on July q is stnl a mys.
terry has not yet been heard of.
No trace of her has been found. She
had threatened suicide On several
occasions, and it is feared that if her
disappearance is ever accounted for,
it will be when her dead body is
found in one of the numerous ponds
which abound in this vicinity.
Some suggestions of an zelopement
have been made, but are without
| foundation, and come from no re-
liable source. No man is missing
from the vicinity, and there is no
one suspected as pasaner in her
| flight. Mrs. Brooks Character was
above reproach, and in her daily
life there was no act that could be
construed into breach of morals.
Her father, ]. w. Siavens, of
Troy, is Baptist preacher and a
man of good standing. She has a
sister in Washington, but nothing
has been heard from her. Domes-
tic disagreements are said to be the
cause of her leaving her family, but
an interview with her servant con-
tradicts this story. She leaves
three children. She had been mar
ried abou! twelve years, and at one
time the family were in good cir
cumstances, but recently they have
met with heavy losses. This and
Ter husbands continued illness
may have unbalanced her mind.
Mrs. Brooks left home on the
evening of July 27, to sit up at the
house Of a neighbor whose infant
child had died, and where she had
passed the greater part of the day.
Not returning in the morning, in
quiry developed the fact that she
had not been at the neighbours
during the night. No one had seen
her at any time after she had left
home.

c. E. Foley, of Eufaula, /. T.,

to the Lewis Mercantile Co., of Ex-
celsior Springs for $4,000. Mr..
Shelton, of the above firm, is now in
Mexico in charge of the store, which
is open for business again. Mr..
Shelton will likely move the stock
away from here between now and
Jan. 1st. 1t is hoped that Mr.. Shell
ton will decide to remain, for the
mercantile firm which he represents
is composed of lively business men

their stay in the city. L. c. Cove

Stop That Boy!
From the Auxvasse (Mo. Review

From the Auxvasse tMo.) Review.
Stop that boyl A cigar in his
mouth, a swagger in bis walk, i'm
pudence in his face, a care-fo--
nothingness in his manner. Judging
from his demeanor he is older than
his father, wiser than his teacher,
more honored than the President !;
stop him, he is going too fast. He
don't know his speed. Stop him ere
tobacco chokes his nerves, ere pride
ruins his character, ere good ambi'
ton and manly strength give way to
low pursuits and british aims. Stop
all such boys! They are legion, the
shame of their families, the disgrace
of their towns, the sad and solemn
reproach of their parents.
