George II. LapsIey Dead.

George H. L.apsley, who lived in
Mexico during the 70s, Is dead. He
was bookkeeper in Pollock's mill,
and was the only brother of Mrs. Chas.
w. Baker. Referring to his death the
Kansas City Journal says: George
II. Lapsley, who has been a resident
of this city since 1875, and was at one
time a merchant of some prominence,
died at the residence of his father-in-
law, DIR. j. B. Bell, at the corner OF
Twenty-sixth and Troost avenue yes
terday morning at 3 O'Clock. His
death was caused by consumption.
Mr.. Lapsley was born at Selma, Ala,
March g., 1850. He came to st. Joseph
in 1870 and from there he went to
Mexico, Mo-, in 1874. In April, 1875,
he was married to Miss Rebecca Bell,
a daughter of DR.. j. B. Bell. In the
fall of that yearhe removed to Kansas
City and went into the wholesale boot
and shoe business with his brother-in-
law, j. A. Cooper. He remained in

ago, when his failing health forced him
to retire.

Is Modesty a Lost Art?

The pictures in our daily papers, the
illustrations in I'll magazines, the
popular books, the growing familiar
ity of the sexes, the developments of
he New Woman prompt this ques-
ton.
Young people talk freely of subjects
that were once restricted to the doc
tors office. Old and young read
books that have prostitutes for hero
ines and libertines for heroes. The
most respectable people at our sea-
side resorts bathe-or rather prom
enade on the sands-publicly in cos
tunes that only differ from the fig
leaf apron OF Adam in the material
of which they are composed. Clothes
have become a superfluity in the ball
room.
In social life girls run after the
boys, plan all kinds of schemes that
they may be near them, lay all sorts
of traps and do everything save pro-
pose-and sometimes that. Young
folks make long trips together alone,
they stay out until after midnight,
aud at a fashionable dance they hug
each other, under the Intoxicating
influence of music, until early morn
ing.
Such subjects as the Breckenridge
trial, the Galloway mob, the latest
elopement, the most scandalous
episode, are given largest space in
our city papers and are talked of
unblushingly at our firesides. Full
length portraits of girls in tights and
boomers form the principal stock of
current illustration. The cigarette
picture has been enthroned.
And if any n protests he becomes
at once an old-fogy, a mossback or a
Puritan. The violet is no longer cul-
tivated; the suntiower has taken its
place.

LOUISIANA, Mo-, Sept. 5.-Dr. Lon
nergan and wife, of this place, while
crossing the river on the ferry in a
buggy yer thrown into the river.
Mrs. L and the horse were drowned
and the doctor was badly injured but
will recover. The ferry lands some
distance from the bank on the Illinois
side, and owing to the rapid rise in
the river last night the pier was COW
cred with two feet of water and they
lost their bearings and drove off into
fifteen feet of water. Some men in
skiffs saved the doctor and n man
got nearly to shore with Mrs. l. but
the burden was too great and he
abandoned her to her fate. The doc
tor had 500 in his pocket which
Heated away. They recovered her
body in a short time but too late to re-
vive her. DIR. Lonnergan and wife are
well connected here and the loss of
her life is greatly deplored.

SILVER OR DEFEAT"
''Silver Dick" Bland Predicts a $4,000
Majority Against Democracy in
Missouri on a Gold
Platform.
From the II. Louis Chronicle.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 6.-Ex-
Congressman Bland, in an interview
in a "Kaw City" paper, is made to
again reiterate his plain declaration
to The Chronicle, that he did not want
to be either Governor of Missouri or
President of the United States. He is
out of office and wants to remain out,
so that he can hereafter devote his
whole political ambition to the re-
monetization of silver.
He says the talk about Cleveland for
a third term "is newspaper gossip"
and then he adds this bold declara-
ton:
81 would not vote for Cleveland, or
such a man as Whitney, or any other
representative of the Wall Street
power"
Speaking for his W State, "Silver
Dick'' said:
"Cleveland, or any other man on a
goldbug platform, cannot carry Mis-
souri,. They would lose it by $4,000.
The people of this State do not intend
to p~erpetuate Wall Street in power
n longer. They won't have it, and
that's all there is to it."

VIOLENT SEPTEMBER STORM.
Conditions Upon Which Prof. Virgins
Bases a Prediction.

OTTAWA, ONT, Sept. 6.-Prof E.
Stone Virgins, who predicted the
great storm that passed over the At
lantic and Pacific in March, 1883, pre-
diets a storm of equal violence be-
tween the 18th and 21st of the present
month. Asked to-day his reasons for
predicting the storms of 1888 and the
he promises for this month, he
said:
"My reasons are these: The sun and
100 were in the same arc. of right
ascension, almost in the same spot in
the heavens, and were near the celes-
tial equator and at the moment when
our Northern Pacific was turned to-
ward the sun. Their united force was
increased by the moons perigee being
at her nearest orbital point to the
earth. Furthermore, she was in con-
junction with Venus March 5, with
Mercury March 6, and with Mars
March Z. On looking over my calcu-
lations of the March storm of 1883,
made in September, 1882, | find refer
ence to q sister storm on September
81, 1895. On the 18th of the present
month the moon Will pass over the
SUMS disk a few degrees west of San
Francisco, leaving a solar eclipse, the
moon herself being III perigee and two
hours later on the-celestral equator.
Mars and Venus will both be in con-
junction with her on that day. A
great storm will, therefore, sweep the
shores of all continents from the
equator to the poles as the 18th inst,
but on the east coast of North .Ameri-
ca will reach its climax with high tides
by the afternoon of Saturday, the 21st
inst. There is danger of volcanic up
heavals or the meridian of Japan and
of earthquakes in South America and

From the Moberly Monitor.

From the MObefiy monitor
The bank at Salisbury, OF which
Major Fink was cashier, and that fail
ed for about $40, 000,as near as the ex-
aminers can make out, has been I'M
der the scrutiny of a st. Louis expert
for two weeks. He has gone all over
the books, showing a record of the
bank since its establishment. He
finds the records correct and the
shortage just as the State Examiners
found it. AS the directors failed to
hold regular meetings they became
personally responsible, and have as.
sessed themselves each $4,000. De-
post certificates are quoted on the
streets at So cents on the dollar, which
is equivalent to saying they will be
paid in full by somebody.

A Negro Man Stripped and Whipped
by a Negro Mob for Ravishing a
Negro Girl IN Broad Daylight
in the Northwest Part of
Fulton Thursday.
Ernm the Fulton Gazette.

|. About 10 O'Clock Thursday night
in northwest Fulton, came down town
and reported that a rape had been
committed by Warren Shide on Ella
B~ranham, alias "Red Ellen" who is a
half witted mulatto girl about IA years
old, with red eyes, red face and red
hair, who lives with her aunt, Mrs.
Harrison Scott. Sheriff Windsor sent
Deputy VIII Nichols and night watch
man Rodgers out to arrest Shide.
The Deputy Sheriff and nightwatch
found Browns house in northeast Full
ton near the water works surrounded
by a negro mob of 40 or SO e
Shide was in the second story and
swore he would kill the first man that
attempted to take him out. One of
the officers entered the front door and
one the rear door and told Shide to
come down. AT first Brown said if
Shide was in his house he did not
know it. The officers said they were
going to arrest Shide and if he was not
brought down they would go up and
bring him down dead or alive. Shide
then came down and the officers start
ed with him to Jail. After proceeding
about a hundred yards two negro men
sprang out of the weeds and grabbed
the prisoner. At this moment a shot
was fired right under the hat brim of
the deputy when the prisoner clasped
the deputy around the waist and beg
ged for protection, but just then about
90 shots were fired all around them
and when the excitement was over
the mob had ran off with Shide.
STRIPPED AND WHIPPED.
The mob took shide over in the ID.
& ID. Institute pasture, not far from
the brick carding mill. Here they
stripped Shide entirely naked, blind
folded him and tied a strip of cloth
over his mouth. They then made him
hug a small tree and wrapped him
tight to it with a rope and held a
meeting as to how many stripes they
should give him. Some of the moi
wanted to hit him 100 ticks, others 80,
but they finally agreed upon 25. A
large buggy whip vas produced and
great big black man began laying it or
while another counted out loud. Shide
never WINGED until six stripes were
laid on when he began to pray an6
plead for mercy. He begged them to
kill him but the IS stripes q laid or
as regular as a clock striking without
paying any attention to Shide's sup
plications. He tainted a couple Of
times while under the lash. After
giving Shide a few words of advice
about governing his passions they un-
tied him and left him.
The officers went down and found
him loose from the tree. His back
was fearfully ~lacerated and the blood
flowed freely. The officers took him
to Browns house and left him. Moth
ing more was heard of the mob until
it appeared at the Jail.
NEGRO ARRESTED AT FAIR GROUNDS.
A negro boy by the name of King
was arrested at the fair grounds Tues
day and jailed for crawling around the
ladies' department. The mob went to
the Jail to get this negro out. The
leader said they wanted to whip him.
Sheriff Windsor finally persuaded
them to let the boy alone.
