not only possible, but are actual,
and boldly committed, it is eviden
that the public safety imperativel,
requires such changes in the law a
will not only terminate existin,
abuses, but prevent their repetition
In future.
This Is a question which affects the
rights and interests Of the people oi
the entire state almost as yitally at
1t does the people of the cities i'm
mediately concerned. When we re
fleet that about one-fourth of the
total population of the state reside
in st. Louis and Kansas City, and
consider the tremendous influence
which those cities can exert in the
election of national and state officials
and on the legislative policies of tho
ststn, - s..vug nuruI or patriotic citi-
zen can be obvious or Indifferent to
the paramount Importance Of vigil
antly guarding the ballot box against
every description of fraud and crime.
Therefore in view OF the premises,
and by virtue of authority in me
vested by the constitution of the
Missouri, 1, William ]. Stone, gov
ernor of the State OF Missouri, do
hereby convene the thirty eighth
general assembly of the State of
Missouri in extra session, and I do
hereby call upon the senators and
representatives Of the general
assembly aforesaid to meet in their
respective places in the capitol, in
the city Of jefferson, at the hour OF
IL o'clock noon on Tuesday, the Esd
day Of April, A. D. 1895, for the
following purposes:
First-To enact such legislation as
may be necessary and expedient to
properly define the relations between
the different classes Of employees of
railroad corporations in this state,
and also the proper relations between
all such employees and the railroad
corporations employing them, and to
define and fl, the legal liability
between the different employees
themselves, and also between such
employees and the said railroad cor
porations, for injuries done or received
by one such employe as the result
of the culpable negligence of another
such employe while engaged in the
service OF such corporations.
Second-To provide such legisla-
tive enactments as may be necessary
and expedient to prevent the main
tenance of an organized lobby at the
capital Of the State, either to OBJ
struct or promote any legislative or
executive act; and also to regulate
the manner of presenting any ques-
tion affecting legislation by persons
interested therein before the General
Assembly or any committee thereof.
Tbird-To enact such laws as may
be necessary and expedient to pre-
vent fraud against the elective fran
chise and to secure honest elections
in all cities having 100000 inhab-
itants.
Fourth-To consider any other sub
ject that may be submitted by special
message during said extra session.
Fifth-To make an appropriation
for the expenses of this extra session
OF the General Assembly.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the State Of
Missouri.
Done at the City of Jefferson, this
third day of April, A. d. 1896.

NERVOUS DISEASES.

Julius Althaus. NJ. D., NJ. r. G. p, in the
Humanitarian, London.
| investigated this subject some
time ago by analyzing the annual
reports of the registrar general for
a period of thirty years. The fire.
quency with which they occur, the
place they occupy in the general
mortality of the nation, the age at
which they are most murderous, and
the peculiar influence of sex upon
their development were then shown
to follow certain definite and simple
laws, into the working of which
chance does not enter. There is no
question that certain functional
net roses, more especially failure of
brain power, hysteria, hypochon :.
driasis and similar affections have
been for some time past on the
increase owing to the fact that the
struggle of life is keener, the COM
petition more intense, the work
heavier and the anxiety more
absorbing than used to be the case
in previous periods OF the history of
mankind, more especially in the
large centers of population. The
nervous system is therefore more
liable to break down by exhaustion
than was the case in former times.
This, however, does not apply to the
really organic or structural diseases
of the brain and spinal cord, such as
tumor, softening, inflammation, etc,
nor to epilepsy and insanity, which
continue to occur in about the same
ratio now as they have done before.
The general results of my investi-
cations, based on nearly a quarter of
Il million cases, may be summed up
in the following five propositions:
/. The rate at which diseases of
the nervous system prove fatal to
the population of this country is a
steady one, and subject to a definite
law, to which there are not any or
only apparent exceptions. This rate
does not appear to vary perceptibly
from time to time, and amounts to
about twelve per cent. of the entire
mortality from all causes.
2. Diseases of the nervous system
occupy the fourth rank among the
maladies destructive of human life,
being only surpassed in fatality by
zymotic, tuberculor and respiratory
diseases.
3. Nervous diseases are not, as is
commonly asserted, more frequent,
but, on the contrary, less numerous
in large towns than in the country
and it is probable that their occur
renee is powerful ly influenced by
race.
4. Sex has considerable infiu
ence on the productions of nervous
diseases; for although in this
country the population of females
exceeds that of males, the deaths ol
males from nervous affections pre-
ponderate constantly over those oI
females, the male death rate being
12. .94 and the female 11.62 per cent
8. Age has even a more powerful
influence on the production of nerv'
GUS diseases than sex; for these NAL
aides attain an immense maximum il
the first year of life, owing to thu
great prevalence of infantile convul
sions. They are much less frequen
in youth and middle age, and atuail
a second maximum in old age-tha
is, after seventy-owing to tn
prevalence of apoplexy and paraly
sis; but the second maximum
amounts to only about the tenth par
of the first maximum attained durin
infant life.

One of coming events is the
vote on the proposed constitu-
tional amendment, admitting
women to right of suffrage. This
is a novelty, but we will have to
say yea" or may" Yes, ''just
like little men," we shall have
to walk up to the polls and speak
out. May be our best girl, dres-
sed in her best bib and tucker,
will drive up to our prospect
with lively team, and in her
sweetest, daintiest manner, ask
for the honor of conveying us to
the polls. How could we say,
no ? Isn't she the hope of our
life-the pride of our apple orch
ard Of course we would spring
into the drag, jumper, gum boots
and all, and when she asked, if
we really did not believe women
should vote, we might hold our
breath for an instant, but be-
meath the beauteous smiles and
beaming eyes we'd say, ''indeed
| do, and then we would march
up and vote that way.
In order to cast a successful
vote on that proposition, IAN
educational campaign" will have
to be made. Many of us will
know things then, better than
we do now. The Legislature
victimized us into such q scheme,
and we are in all probability
overwhelmed. --AUaIanche.

LONDON, Aug. THE correspondent
Of the Times at Shanghai says the
missionaries killed at Ku Cheng were
murdered by an organized band of
~vegetarians. The correspondent says:
"The ladies begged for their lives,
promising to yield their property and
valuables, but the leader Of the band
shouted out his orders to kill them
outright.
The Chinese magistrates at Ku Cheng
waited for the completion of the mas
sacre before appearing upon the
Gene. There are a thousand soldiers
at Ku Cheng. It is, therefore, absurd
to say the authorities could not have
stopped the massacre. which was EVIL

,The American mission at Shashi,

The Americans desire a special COM
mission under United States Consul
Jernigan to inquire into the ~outrages
in Szechuen. British Minister O'Connor
has assented to this.
A strong feeling has been created in
British political circles that decisive
measures are imperative to prevent a
recurrence OF these barbarities. The
missionary societies have never sue
ceeded in obtaining adequate, or in.
deed, any substantial reparation for
the attacks made on them.

ors of the ku Cheng massacre declared

not taken suddenly i'll but on the con-

when 1t began. The first symptoms
We're pains in my back and restless

experience during the last thirteen years
proved that to be h case. I
was of course a child and

In store for me. I complained to

Senator Hill Says Eastern Democrats
Must he If They Expect to Win.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lift the Dem
ocrats intend to continue in business
in New York state, we must nominate
a Western man for president"
This remark was made by David b.
Hill in New York a few days ago in
the presence OF number Of politicians,
while discussing the prospects OF pres
idential candidates. 1t is believed to
have peculiar significance at this time.
It is said that Mr.. Hill explained his
remark with the statement that a
Western man is necessary for the rea-
son that it would be impossible under
existing conditions, to select a candi-
date from New York who could draw
out the entire Democratic vote of the
Empire state.
The claim is made that the factions
OF the Democracy in New York are in
such a state of antagonism to each
other that there is no presidential
timber in sight in the East to unity
party and swing them into line, to
pICSCNG III uAOIohCu l1O11U y ~ w CAC-
my. 1t is said Mr.. Hill is convinced
that neither he nor Mr.. Whitney could
do this thing, and as for himself, he
has made up his mind to abandon all
hope of the nomination in 1896 and to
bide his time. With this realization of.
the situation in mind, Nh. Hill is said
to have reached the conclusion that q
Western man is the only solution of
the problem of turning out the full
and undivided Democratic vote in his
state.
The statement is further made that
Mr.. Hill is favorable to the candidacy
of Mr.. William r. Morrison Of Illinois
for the presidential nomination. This
is asserted upon the authority of one
of Mr.. Morrison's warmest friends and
supporters, and who keeps in touch
with all the details of the campaign
which is now progressing III favor Of
his nomination.
