STATEHOOD BILLS.


1t is likely three territories will be
admitted to statehood in a short
time. Senator Hill has informed
Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico,
that it is his intention to report to
the senate, and to have considered
at as nearly the same time as possi-
BILE, the three bills to admit Utah,
Arizona and New Mexico. Senator
Hill thinks this will be better way
than to put the three states in one
bill, or to let them go to the White
House at different tines. The pres
ident has expressed himself on sew
eral occasions as in doubt about the
expediency of admitting any more
states at present. The advocates Of
statehood think they will stand a
better chance if the three bills can
be sent to the president at prac-
tically the same time, so the whole
pressure can be brought to bear at
once

PROF. l.. Il. WOLFE.
The following resolution, unani-
mously passed by the Missouri State
Teachers Association, shows the
high appreciation in which State
Supt. Wolfe and his work is held by
tbe teachers of Missouri: GAS the
present state superintendent of
public schools will have retired from
office before the next session of the
State Teachers Association, we
point with pride to the splendid
record, self sacrificing efforts and
valuable services of that official, the
Hon. L. f. Wolfe, and we regard
his honesty of purpose, superior
administrative ability and progress
sive policy as marking an educational
epoch in the history of Missouri"
The Journal Democrat of Warrens-
burg has the following very compli-
mentary notice of his address before
the state association: "The principal
address of the evening was by State
Supt. l.. e. Wolfe. He made
splendid effort, one that entertained
the audience and held the closest
attention to the end. Prof. Wolfe
is fluent speaker, but his effort last
night was probably the best ever
heard by the teachers"

Mayor Hastain, of Sedalia, has
received letter from Cashier
Thompson, who is now in Old Mexico,
stating that when charges shall have
been preferred he will return to
stand trial. The letter was largely n
plea for sympathy and gave asserted
explanations of his action in fleeing
from Sedalia. Thompson says he
left under an intense strain and
did not know when he started where
he was going, neither did his family
or other relatives. He admits the
embezzlement of funds, but claims
that all money taken was put back
into the bank in other forms to
save it from failure.

The Mccain Grocery Company

We call the attention of our read CTS to the advertisement which ap- pears in this issue for the Mccain Grocery Company. The company is composed of Messrs. John M. Me- Cain; Asa Mccain and John H. Me Cain, with Mr. John NJ. Mccain as manager. Their store is located at No 300 Main street, in the new store room recently erected by MT. Thos. $. James, at the corner of Main Street and Ehird avenue, and their stock consists of all kinds of staple and fancy groceries, canned goods, meat, four country produce, etc. The busi- ness will be conducted on a strictly cash basis, but goods will be deliv- cred free of charge to any part of the city. Through the columns of the GRAPHIC the company extends q cor dial invitation to all, city and coun- try, to call and examine their stock of goods and obtain their prices be- fore making purchases. By selling for cash they are enabled to give their customers the very lowest prices to he found in the market, and the public, wien in need of anything in the grocery line, will do well to give the Mccain Grocery Company a call
 Sometime ago the GRAPHIC referred to the Boy Bankers" in St. Louis. Now we can call attention to the Boy Grocers" in Pine Bluff, for, with 1 the exception of Mir. John NJ, Nc. Cain, the company is composed oi entirely young men. The mere fact however. that MT. John NJ. Mccain is behind the enterprise is a sure guarantee of it's success. He is one of the best known business men il this city, having been connected il the past with several of our leading business firms, and is q conservative business man whose ability is uni yersally recognized.
 We wish the new company sue cess.

 It is now said that Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt is coming to New York to open the Fifth avenue house and will give at least one big ball to introduce her daughter Consuela to New York so- ciety.
 What will poor Willie do then2
 It Is known among his friends that he intends to come home this winter.
 It is also known that he does not in- tend to live with Mrs Willie.
 Must the master of many houses go, then, to hotel, like an ordinary trav- eler?
 I don't attach much importance to the town house story, and Mrs. Van. derbilt is certainly not foolish enough to introduce q very young girl to society when she herself is under cloud and people are saying that her husband s family won't speak to her.
 That last is another statement that won't hold water.
 Mrs. Willie K. hasn't done anything to deserve a snubbing from the Wander bilts of all people.
 It was her husband who left her and not she him. All the influences of the Vanderbilts have been directed toward 8 reconciliation, and certainly to snut the injured would not be conciliatory.
 As a matter of fact, nobody knows anything about this couples plans for the best of reasons. They don't know themselves.

THE GAY COUNT.
His Brilliant Career Cut Short by ErpuI.
 sion From His Chosen Field.


 The Italian newspapers have lately been largely occupied with the case of Count Tscharnadieff, who, after me. teoric career i'll Turin, has been ignomin- iously expelled from Italy by order of the minister of the interior. His real identity has not yet been fully estab- lished He arrived at Turin four months ago, took fine house in suburb and installed therein beautiful young woman, who passed IS the countess. The mansion was superbly furnished There were f2 domestics, and in the stables were ii horses. The pair drove about Turin i'll an open landau drawn by six horses and naturally attracted attention, although the local aristocraey suspected them from the first and would have nothing to do with them. The count gave charity with lavish hand and was always at home to poor people.
 He finally began to dabble in anarch- ism and socialism. He was elected an honorary member of % workmen asso- citations and announced his intention to become a candidate for the chamber of deputies, By this time he had attracted the attention of the central authorities at Rome, who decided that he was too dazzling and too mysterious person for quiet going Italy, and he was ignomin- iously bundled off to tho frontier with the so called countess.
 It is estimated that during his stay in Turin the count spent at least half million francs, and he left very few debts behind. This apparent honesty, however, is evidently due to the sud denness of his expulsion, which upset the counts plans The police say he has lived, and lived well, by his wits for years and is known as dangerous and daring swindler in every European cap ital. The young woman is as much q mystery as the count himself. Nobody has been able to specify her nationality, for she speaks with fuency French, Spanish, Italian and Russian. Tschar- nadieff bore a curious resemblance to Arton of Panama scandal fame and was for some time watched by French de- tectiYes.

ROBBERS CAPTURED AND NEARLY ALL THE MONEY RE
 COVERED. Peter and James Moore Arrested fer Stealing &G,6oO from
 Mrs. Shultz,

Last Tuesday the DAILY GRAPHIC gave an account exclusively of the robbery of the residence of Mrs. Tol- bert Schultz, in Grant county, yes terday one week ago, at which time over $6,600 in money was stolen from her home while she and her family were absent attending church.
 On yesterday, one week exactly from the time of the robbery, De- tectiye w A. Clay arrested the rob. bers and recovered the booty, only ESQ of the entire amount not being recovered.
 The robbers were Peter Moore and his son, James, who live on Mrs, Schultz's place. Their mysterious conduct immediately after the rob bery directed suspicion toward them.
 It also developed that Peter Moore had stated to parties i'll Rison scy- eral days before the robbery was committed, that he intended to leave the place because he had heard that the robbery of Mrs. Shultz was con l templated. After the robbery Peter Moore and his son turned over the money to F. l.. Mcconnell for safe keeping; Mcconnell lived about Il mile from the place of the robbery and took the money and buried it in alarge tin bucket in Darysaw bot tom. It seems that Mcconnell could not keep the secret and he communi- cated it to friend who told the de tective.
 Peter Moore, his son, James, and Mcconnell were then arrested. Me. Connell at once confessed and took the detective and Willie Schultz, Mrs ShultZ's son, to the place where the money was buried. As before stated the money was buried in tin bucket about two feet under ground, and the fresh dirt covered over witt leaves. When the money was ex humed and counted it was founG that only about $S0 was missing.
 This morning Detective Clay and Mir. Shultz came to town with tho money in sack swung across the back of a horse, and profitting by their experience, Mir. Schultz depos ited the money in the Merchants Planters Bank. There were $500 il silver, s 500 in gold and the remain der in greenbacks.
 Peter and James Moore and Me Cornell were arrested and are now in the hands of the officers of Gran county.
 Detective Clay and Mrs. Shultz anG family are to be congratulated upoI the recovery of the money, whicl represents long life of hard work close economy and strict irugality
 The robbers should be given tn full extent of the law for thei I dastaPdly deed
