fathers house and again at the tuner
81, at the church, which was largely
attended. There was no suspicion of
the disease until the family of the de-
ceased was attacked. Yesterday 20
cases were reported, and schools were
closed and the city was quarantined.
Tho suthoritieruroeaHin5 every PoDri
BILE ean to prevent the spread of tie
disease. A sister of the deceased, liv-
ing near Arko, is one of the victims of
the malady. No fatality is reported

WE are glad TO be able to state that
the Mexico School Board announces
that the district is out of debt and that
there will he no extra 10 per cent levy
this spring. Mexico has the very best
public schools there are in the entire
country and it is due in a large extent
to the liberality of our people and the
strong feeling which prevails here in
favor of public schools. No town can
have a better advertisement than that
its people unanimously favor liberal
ity in the education of children in the
public schools. The school tax this
year will be nearly one-half what it
has been heretofore; that is, it win be
40 cents instead of 20 cents. The mem
bers of the School Board and the tax
payers are to be congratulated on this
fact. Audrain county is out of debt,
the Mexico school district and most,
If not all of the other school districts
in the county, are out of debt and our
school taxes will he unusually light in

The New York World has intimated
and even nor than minated that
President Cleveland got a profit on
the sale of the last bonds. That news
paper has called attention to the fact
that the transaction was through Mr..
Cleveland's late law partner, MIR. Stet-
son, and with a former client. and
hence the charge.
The Sun comes out with bIisterins
rays upon the World and ~denouuces it
in the following terms in an editorial:
"The matchmaking hand of the New
York World is az quick to bury its
soiied nails in the national credit az in
the throat of a corporation or the
private life of an individual. For
ly n week the World has iptimated
hat President Clevtsland's curse in
the receD bond transaction was in
fiuenced by a consideration. 1t has
charged that he had IA dishonest. dis
honorable aud immoral motive in fix
ing the price of the bond issue. The
World is depraved. II is an ofense
against the people and the country,
and 1t should be unspeakable to all
decent men.
IL there is a name in mercantile life
that stands for high principle and UNI
blemished honor. it is that of j. Pier
pont Morgan. In respect of steadfast
probity and absolute rectitude of meth
cd, Morgan's career is looked upon
with pride by every merchant in the
United States. His share ir the trans
action whereby the treasury has ac-
quircd the gold IL NEEDED, whereby
the country's credit has been reaf-
tirmed, whereby the great banking
firms have had their lawful profit, thai
share Is unimpeachatIe. And the re-
lation thereto Of the President of the
United States is likewise beyond re-
proach. The aspersions that are cast
upon it by the World are an imputation
against the national honor"

The Great

INSURANCE COMPANY.

Such achievements ast these during a period of general financial depres-
sion and uncertainty are certainly remarkable and unprecedented.
The growth of IL financial institution in the world a equal this. The
company shows a increase in assets o V 100000 during the financial
panic Of 1894. Every dollar of the Equiabe's assets belongs to Its policy
holders, of whom all get their share of interest and dividends. The Equt-
able has the largest amount of insurance in force, writes the largest annual
business and has a larger amount of surplus than any other company in the
world. They also placed lore business in Audrain County last year than the
combined amounts of all other companies. The payments of death claims,
endowments, annuites, etc, aggregate 49, AZ, 35297, which represents the
savings of many thousands of prudent people, multiplied in the hands oft the
.s3e, 100000 of insurance applied for and which the company did not consider
desirable risks. This goes ito show that its management is conservative and
only issues policies on frstcass risks. Truly the greatest company is the

ADDRESS ISSUED BY THE ST
LOUIS CONFERENCE.
Held Dec. % and 90. 1894.

The national committee of the
Peoples party sends greeting to
its constituency throughout the
United States.
The rapid increase of our vote
in every part of the union and the
startling events of the past few
years wildly justify both the exis-
tence of and necessity for the Peo-
pies party. The contention of
the party that one of the great
needs of this country has been, and
is, an enlarged volume Of circula-
ting medium, is now practically
conceded by all parties and by the
government. The gold powers
and banking interests are insisting,
through the president and his sec
rotary, that the enlarged issue of
money supply shall be given ex-
clusively into the hands of the
banks; that silver shall be exclud-
ed, all treasury notes retired, and
that gold alone shall be a legal
tender. thus making the monetary
question an issue which must be
met at once.
Within the present year the cor
porations, grown arrogant because
of the vast possessions of wealth
and the exercise of unconstitutional
powers, have made war upon the
people and induced the federal
courts to exercise in their interest
unusual and arbitrary powers, in
duced the invasion of the states by
federal troops without the re-
quest of either the executives of
