One Cent-a-Day for Missions.

Ohc OcHt-a-Day IOr mlss1OnS.
Blank forms of pledges on this approved plan
of seeking contributions for State and General
Conventions are now ready for distribution. One
or more of the pledge cards will be mailed in an
swer to applications. Folding boxes will be sent
with the pledges in all cases when requests are
made for them. The pledges, by which the
promise to:give cent day for Missions is reg
istered constitute the important feature of this
plan intended to reach all of our peoples but
the boxes have value both as object lessons and
repositories. Will not pastors and friends now,
at the beginning of the year. send in their requis
itiOns for pledges and boxes? Volunteer agents
to distribute the "Cent-a-Day" pledges, and OBJ
tain signatures thereto, are desired in every
Uniyersalist parish and Sunday-school Who
will lend-a-hand in such service? 1t will be Mis-
sioDary work for Missions.

that Congress should give the country
not only the 6nancial legislation which
it needs, but other appropriate legisla
ton demanded by the best interests of
the people. Among other things it
should pass is the proposed amendment
to the Constitution for the election of
United States Senators by the people.

introduced financial bills embodying
their individual views as to what should
be done to relieve the condition Of the
Treasury, and the Senate Finance Com

it is evident that neither of those pro
positions can receive any considerable
support. A new bill will, therefore, be
introduced tomorrow by Senator Jones.

COLONEL A. B. Corr. who commanded
the militia force which fired into the
mob of would-be lynchers. at Washing
ton Court House, Ohio. recently, has
been indicted for manslaughter. The
sheriff has gone for him to Columbus, o,
Treasurer of South Dakota, will amount
to upward of s350,060.. Taylor has fled
and no trace has been found of him as
yet although he is said to have been seen
in Chicago few days ago The officers
of the National Bank of Redfeld, have
received letter from him stating that
he left matters in good shape; that he
had been trying to straighten out his
shortage to the State, but had failed, and
no one at Redfeld or Pierre would ever
see him again. Taylor's friends claim
that his property. which he has turned
over TO his bondsmen, will ultimately
pay all of his indebtedness to the State,
but this is very doubtful.
A DESPATCH from Pierre, South Da-
kota, says that information which was
made public Monday, in co lnection with
Standardization of State Treasurer w. w.
Taylor, indicates there is little ground
for the popular belief that Taylor has
b zen collecting every cent of available
Ssh. in order to pinch the State and
force compromise" 1t is known that
Taylor lost heavily through several bank
failures, and was unable to realize on the
assets turned over to him.
THERE is an active movement in Wis
consin for the taxing of church property.
The value OF the property liable to be
assessed for the proposed new tax is
S14,6l2,O61. The Catholic and Lutheran
denominations are the largest holders,
would be the heaviest sufferers, and
they are. OF course. the most earnest re-
monstrants. 1t is thought that the
final outcome will be a compromise,
which will permit church property act
ually used for purposes Of public worship
to go free, while taxing that employed
for other ecclesiastical purposes.

MIssOURrs COAL MINES.

The Decrease Of the Year Not Very Marked
Some Facts of Interest.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Nov. A.
Charles Evans, state inspector of coal
mines, has just completed his report,
which will soon be in the hands of
the public printer. It will show that
there is a marked decrease in the coal
output of the whole country during
the year covered by the report, the
decrease for the country at large be-
ing 40 per cent, while the decrease
for Missouri was but 4 2-10 per cent.
1t expresses hopeful view of the out
look for the coming year. Demand
and prices are both good.
The total product of the state for
the year was 2,2S3,Osl tons and the
money received for it was 2,G75, $50.
The average number of men employed
during the year was -,245, but owing
to the small demand for coal and the
excess of labor the wages were below
the average. During the year coal
was mined in thirty-four counties in a
total of +O2 mines. There were twelve
fatal and fifteen non-fatal accidents
big decrease, and Evans compliments
the mine owners on this evidence of
the increased safety and the greater
care displayed.

TWO LIVES WANTED.
Governor NORTH Petitloaed to Inlet The
Death Penalty.

Governor AI0Friu Petiti0aed to Infllct the
Death Penalty.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. About 500
citizens of Edwards county have asked
Governor Morrill, to order that the
sentence of death be executed upon
Carl Arnold and William Harvey, who
were on November Is. 1894, convicted
of the murder in cold blood of John F.
Marsh. mayor of the city of Kinsley.
The petition was presented Saturday
by Judge S w. Vandevert of the Ed
wards county district court, and Ed
T. Bidwell, . brother-in-law of the
murdered man. The Governor took
the case under advisement, and prom
ised to render a decision IN the near
future.
This is the first petition of the kind
ever presented to a Kansas Governor.
Under the Kansas law the death PEN
atty cannot be enforced unless the
chief executive signs the warrant. No
Governor has ever seen fit to order the
death of murderer and no legislature
has ever seen fit to change the law.
As a consequence there are now about
forty people in the penitentiary under
sentence of death. Arnold and Har.
vey of Edwards county are among the
number

while women wept Historically in ex-
element. The bailiff raped loudly
for order. but the tumult continued
for a minute before anything like
quiet could be brought out of the dis
order.
Durrant recovered his old time COM
posture as soon as he left his mother
and prepared to return to the county
Jail. With his overcoat swung care
lessly over his arm, he walked leisurely
out of the room, twirling his slight
mustache with apparently as little
concern as if he were merely a specta-
tor of. instead of the principal figure
in, the exciting scene.
The case will be appealed to the
supreme court, and it is expected that
nearly year will lapse before a de-
cision will be obtained.
