I believe, says Congressman-elect c, N. Clark, of Hannibal, Missouri, "that Missouri will cast her vote in 1896 for the Republican nominee for the presi- dency. The trend of the public senti- 1nent out our way is unmistakably to- ward the Republican party. That is amply proved by the fact that in the LIVth congress our State will have ten Republican representatives out of a total of fifteen, whereas in the present house only one member sits on the Re- publican side. Missouri no longer can be classed as a Democratic State. Of the various candidates mentioned in connection with the presidency, there are two who enjoy almost equal favor with Missouri Republicans, and it is hard to say which has the most follow CTS, Governor Mckinley of Ohio or Tom Reed of Maine. The general feeling is that either would make first class president, and that either can lead the party to victory"

Queen Victoria has made hard and fast rule that all the women who at tend her receptions should wear low cut gowns, but the other day a Scottish countess, who was to present her grand daughter to the queen, asked her per mission to appear in a high-cut gown and was fatly refused, so the countess had a dress made of the proper open ness and under the decollete bodice wore a heavy merino undershirt, which protected the venerable ladys neck and arms from the raw, cutting wind. The queen was angry, but the countess was warm.

A new automatic loom has appeared in the Draper mills in Hopedale, Maine, that is attracting the attention of all the cotton manufacturers in New Eng land. It is automatic in its action with several attachments that so handle the filling and so regulate the general work of the loom that one employe can run sixteen of them as easily as he now runs six or eight of the looms in present use. It is said that these looms can be start ed at morning and not shut down until night; that they can be left alone at work during the noon hour, and that they practically take care of them selves, shutting themselves down in case thread breaks or any. other thing interferes. They are to be given a thoroughgoing, practical trial in new mill, which will be fitted with them.

This is a world of change. James E. Blethen, once mayor of the city of Oak land, California, is a f1agman on the Southern Pacific railroad with a salary of $40 a month. Blethen was a pros porous mill-owner when he was elected mayor and high in the public esteem A secret meeting of the city council over which he presided bartered away the city's water front, and this brought about the mayors downfall. His old friends cut him, the public boycotted his business, and he went into bank ruptcy.

PURSUING TRAIN ROBBERS
Excitement High Over the
Union Pacific Hold-Up at
Brady.
Two Of the Bandits Seen and Off
GERS Are Closely Following
Their Trail.

BROKEN BOW, NEBR., Aug. A.-Ex-
element is running high here over the
Brady Island Union Pacific train robbery.
Two men answering the description OF the
robbers passed through Galloway early
this morning, and were seen about 6o'clock
by the night miller crossing the Loup near
the Galloway mill. One was large man
with dark complexion and dark mustache,
and the other was smaller man with
light complexion and smooth face. They
bought lunch at Galloway, which they
carried in a paper box when seen by the
miller.
Deputy Sheriff R. C. Meeker, who was
with the crowd that captured George
Ostrander Yesterday morning, arrived here
from Galloway. He found where they had
eaten their lunch in the hills near PENIS
old ranch on Spring Creek, eleven miles
northeast of Galloway, where they left the
paper box. He says the shoeprints CORE
spond exactly with those near where they
captured three horses. He lost the trail
of them in Spring Creek Valley. They
were seen this afternoon about fifteen miles
southwest of Broken Bow coming toward
the city by ex-Judge Reese and G. q.
Richards. They recognized them from
their description and tried at several farm
houses to borrow firearms with view of
attempting to capture them. Failing, they
came on 20 Broken Bow.
Sheriff Holiday with a posse and ex-
Sheriff Penn at once started in pursuit.
Since dark Holiday and his crew have
come in without getting any other clew.
A telegram has just been received here
from the United States Deputy Marshal
stating that the robbers are between Gala
way and Broken Bow. 1t is thought they
will come in here tonight with a view OF
making their way West on night train.

SHOOTING ON THE WING.
An Old Mans Prank In Memory o
BoyhoOd's Days.

An Old Mans Prank in Memory of
Boyhood's Days.
Magistrate Harrison is laughing heartily
over q case that was adjusted before him
the other day. A wagon loaded with min
eral water jugs backed up to the curbstone
in front of bottling establishment last
week and the driver proceeded TO unload
his wagon by tossing the jugs, one at a
time, TO colored youth who stood on the
opposite side of the curbstone ready to
catch all that came his way.
When things were moving nicely an old
man who occupies a house next door
stepped out of his own door, threw brick
as straight as bullet and broke one of
the jugs while it was in transit from the
driver to the colored boy. He darted back
into his own domiclle before the driver
could recover himself enough to make a
protest. A few minutes later another Jug
was smashed. and again the old man dis
appeared with merry laugh. This was
kept up until about a dozen jugs had been
smashed, when the angry proprietor
stopped the fun by causing the old fellows
arrest on the charge of malicious mischief
When Judge Harrison read the charge
to him the old man laughed until the
tears rolled down his cheeks, and then adj
mitted his guilt. In making an explana-
ton he told the astonished magistrate that
he was able and willing TO pay for all the
damage he had done, and said: "l saw
those jugs flying, and l knew in my own
heart that would have thrown bricks at
them when was boy sixty years ago.
just wanted to see how it would feel
again, and couldn't help myself" The
explanation was satisfactory, and after
settling the old fellow went away still
laughing heartily. Philadelphia Record

IN THE HANDS OF JURY
The Fate of the Slayer of Agee
Has Not Yet Been De-
Cided.
CLOSING SCENES IN COURT
Insanity the Basis of the Defend
ants Plea-The Widows Story
of the Killing.

SUIsUN, CAL, Aug. 24.-The trial of
John G. Marshall, charged with the muir
der of his brother-in-law, Charles F. Agee,
near Dixon May % last, came to an end
to-day. and the fate of the accused is in
the hands of the jury, with no probability
OF a verdict being returned tonight.
The trial has consumed ten days. The
principal witness for the prosecution was
Mrs. Agee, widow of the murdered man.
The testimony of Mrs. Agee was given in a
straightforward, positive manner. She
gave in detail the events leading up to and
Including the hiring of the fatal shot She
saw her husband fall, and when she dashed
from the room heard three more shots
fired.
Her testimony as regards the number of
shots fred was corroborated by three
other witnesses, who were outside the
house and heard the shooting.
An important witness for the prosecu-
ton was Charles Starlight, who was con-
victed on August and sentenced to Fol-
som State Prison for horse-stealiug. He
occupied with the defendant the same cell
while confined in the County Jail here, and
acted as nurse for Marshall during the lat
ter's illness. After receiving his sentence
Searight made statement to District At
torney Devlln reciting what Marshall had
told him of the shooting Searicht's testi-
mony was q confederation of the state
ment of Mrs. Agee, and was given the
District Attorney voluntarily.
The defendant, Marshall, in his own be-
half said the killing of Agee was all an
accident. He said he went to the latter
house with the intention of trying to in
duce his (MaTshalPs) wife, who had left
him, TO go away with him, and failing in
this he intended to commit suicide. His
failure to induce his wife resulted in his
trying to shoot himself, and while his
brother-ln-iaw was struggling with him
trying to prevent him from accomplishing
his purpose the latter was accidentally
shot. He said he rendered having fired
but one shot, but his revolver showed four
empty chambers. He admitted having
felt bitterly toward Mrs. Agee, who, he
said, had caused his wife to leave him.
Marshall's attorneys, Reese Clark and
u. b. Gaddis, In their arguments to the
jury, urged the insanity of the prisoner,
which they said was caused by the contin-
ual brooding over the interference of the
wife of the deceased.
Miss Lena r. Bishop, one of the wit
neSses for the defense, gave testimony that
was yindication of Mrs. Agree against the
charges made against her.
During his argument to the jury Attor-
ney Clark dealt numerically with Mrs.
Agee, who sat unmoved as she listened to
the attacks made upon her. All the testi-
mony given for the prosecution was of a
character tending to show premeditated
crime. Ex-District Attorney Lamont and
Hon. Dennis Spencer, for the prosecution,
argued eloquently for conviction, and the
case vas submitted. At midnight there
seemed no possibility OF a verdict being
returned tonight.

MASON CITY, NEBB., Aug. 24.-Two
men claiming to be brothers. giving their
names as Knudson, were captured q few
miles east of this town this morning.
These men were arrested under suspicion
of being implicated ill the robbery of the
Union Pacific train near Gothensburg on

chased across the country from Galloway,
and were seen here early this morning.
The officers were appraised OF their identity
and Immediately began pursuit. They
were overhauled about five miles east of

The officers covered them with guns and
ordered them to throw up their hands,
which they did, and upon being searched
three large revolvers, large knife and
some badly torn paper money were found
on their persons. Shortly after they were
brought to town, Deputy Sheriff Hunter
and posse who had been in pursuit ar

ton. The war is over, its resentments be-
long to the past and its giories are the
heritage of all. Governor Mckinley was
