In the Fall of 1898 a son of Il. A.
Mcfarland, prominent merchant of
Live Oak, Suffer CO., Cal, was taken
with very bad co d. The pains in
his chest was so severe that he had
spasms and was threatened with pneu-
monia. His father gave him several
large doses of Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy which broke up the cough
and cured him. Mr. Mcfarland says
whenever his children have Group he
invariably gives them Chamberlain
Cough remedy and it always cures
them. He considers it the best cough
remedy in the market. For sale by

organization of the University. Should
all the students who participated in
the disturbance be dismissed, only
about 200 will remain, and this number
would be composed almost entirely of
girl students.
Copies of the pledge for the students
to sign were issued from the office. of
President Jesse. The faculty, who
have since the first disturbance posi-
lively declined to be interviewed on
the subject, expressed themselves
perfectly willing to answer all ques-
tons this morning.
An interview was obtained from
Profs. William Manley and Isador
Loeb, who were found together IN the
office of the latter.
They first stated that they desired an
untrue statement regarding the fac
ulty to be corrected. The statement
was that the faculty had at one time
offered to compromise with the stu
dents and promised hat none of them
would be punished if they would
adopt certain resolutions submitted by
the faculty. The professors this morn
ing stated emphatically that the fac
ulty did not submit this proposition to
the students, but that the students
themselves drew up the resolutions
and asked the advice of the faculty in
regard to the matter.
"The mistake" said Prof. ManIey,
sis very injurious to the University, as
it implies lack of dignity on the part
ofthe faculty. We positively did not

THEY WILL BE ARRESTED.
Sworn Out Against George
Lewis and George Reynolds for
Disturbing the Salvation
Army Meeting.

Capt. Bernard, of the Salvation
Army, this morning swore out warrants
against George Lewis and George
REYNOLDS, the men who 80 Disgrace
fully disturbed the meeting at the
Salvation Army on Saturday evening,
charging them with maliciously dis
turbing worship and using profane
language in the meeting place of a
religious body. The men will be placed
under arrest and tried, and there is
not much doubt about their being con-
victed, as there is some strong V
denoe against them.
When seen by a reporter o the
LEDGER, Capt. Bernard said in regard
to this matter: "Personally, I have
nothing at all against the men, but
want to show all such people that they
cannot misbehave in our hall any
more than in any church. l have con-
suited many law abiding citizens, ali
of whom deplore the affair which
happened on last Saturday evening. l
think we shall have no trouble in find
ing evidence enough to convict both
of them.n

HE HAS NOT DESERTED SILVER.
Vest Is For Free Coinage as Strongly
as Before-Not a Delegate
Candidate.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 24.-PoIice
Commissioner James Bannerman has
received a letter from Senator Vest in
which he says he does not want to be
a delegate to Chicago. The letter also
says: 'If any newspaper or individual
has stated or intimated that / have at
any time favored any adjustment or
compromise which surrendered the
free and unlimited coinage of silver as
standard money of redemption, the
statement or intimation is false. l
have no doubt that a large number of
silver Democrats would be satisfied
with a declaration in the national plat
form for the free and unlimited COIN
age of gold and silver as a standard
money of the redemption, the ratio to
be fixed by Congress, this declaration
to be accompanied by another against
the exercise of the veto power as to
a measure passed by Congress and ad-
mitted to be constitutional. While !
am u~nalterably in favor of bimetallism,
I am not prepared to leave the Demo-
cratic party because 1 am beaten in the
national convention On that issue. /
believe that the delegates in Chicago
should faithfully represent the opin-
ions of the Democrats in Missouri, and
they should obey the instructions Civ
en- them by the State convention. No
delegate should be sent who will re-
fuse to obey the party's wiil.n

Call of the Dogs.


The attacks upon Auditor j. NJ. Sci
bert in connection with his reported
candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor r unfair and unde-
served. If Mr.. Seibert desires to make
the race it is his privilege. He would
make a lively competitor for the nom
nation, be elected if nominated, and
give the State a splendid administra-
ton. If he contemplated entering the
race it was the natural and proper
thing to consult with leading Demo-
Gratis of all shades and opinions re-
garding his candidacy. We can see
nothing criminal in the fact that he
discussed the political situation with
prominent gold standard Democrats.
Can it be possible that our free silver
friends do not desire them to support
the party candidates? Surely no Mis-
souri, Democrat has gone so far daft as
to wish votes only from Democrats of
this or that monetary belief. If this
policy is pursued it will be suicidal.
Mr.. Seibert is worthy the confidence
of all Democrats, whatever their be-
lief regarding silver. He is a loyal
Democrat in sympathy with the ma
jority of his party on the silver ques-
ton. He docs not merit rebuke for
his efforts to restore harmony. He
| deserves rather commentator. Call
| off the dogs.

main hall in the academic building was
thronged with students reading the
notice on the bulletin board and con-
versing in low tones. They were un-
usually quiet. No one laughed or
made reckless comments on the action
of the faculty. The unexpected and
decisive move apparently staggered
them, and these words wer heard on
all sides, "This is no joke.''
Since the first outbreak the students
have had things pretty much their
own way, held many meetings, both
private and public, had parades and
have in a general way conducted
themselves in a joyful and careless
manner, and treated the whole affair
as a huge joke on the faculty. This
morning, however, when the faculty
went to the bat and had their innings
the students tor the first time realized
the full gravity of the situation, and
their conduct at once became less
careless.
A number of students have signified
their intention OF signing the pledge,
but others are more defiant. A secret
meeting was held this afternoon by a
number of the students, and as a re:
suit a telegram was sent to the Kansas
State University asking if this institu-
ton could accommodate $50 more stu
dents, thus signifying their intention
of leaving the Missouri University.
Still it is the general opinion that a
majority if not all of the students will
remain, and will sign the pledge be-
fore D O'Clock tomorrow afternoon.

x E LATEST SCHEME.
He Would Force Cities and States to
Employ Idle Men at Good
Wages.

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 22.-Populist
editors and politicians r here from
all parts of the country. The National
Reform Press Association and the
Texas Reform Association are holding
annual conventions. Jacob s. Coxey
of commonweal army and keep OFF
the Grass fame, said this evening:
"Legislating on finance simply to de-
of keeping up a gold reserve is not
what is needed for the relief of the
people. Something must be done to
rid the country of idleness. We e a
surplus of products piled up on n
side and hundreds of thousands of idle
men on the other. Work for men
who are willing to work is what is
needed. A bill to provide for public
improvements and the employment
of citizens of the United States should
be enacted into law by Congress"
Coxey has a bill which he thinks
should be passed. He proposes that
municipal, county OF State govern
ments be permitted to deposit bonds
with the United States government
to procure money for the employment
of labor and the making of public i'm
provements. The final section reads:
"That after the passage of this act it
shall be compulsory upon every in
corporated town or village, munich
pality, township, county, State or
territory to give employment to any
idle men applying for work, and that
the rate be not less than S1.50 per day
for common labor and $3.50 per day
for team and labor, and that eight
hours per day shall constitute a days
labor under the provisions of this act"
H. E. Taubeneck, chairman of the
Populist national committee, said:EeThe
New York Herald, n of the staunch-
est advocates of the gold standard in
America, gives the Populists 200 cleo
tors as a result of next falls elections.
We will not be satisfied with this. We
want at least 224, or enough to elect
our nominee. There are s million
voters in America who believe in the
principles of the Populist party, and 1
think they can and will be united in
the coming campaign. There is Nc
one mentioned in connection with the
nomination for the Presidency by our
party. AS to myself, L have no prefer
ence. The situation was never so
cheerful as now for a grand Populist
victory.

THE STUDENTS WEAKENED.
They Pledge Themselves to Preserve
Law and Order at the State
University.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 25.1The stu
dents rebellion at the State Universi-
ty Is at an end and the authorities
have won. AS predicted in yester-
days dispatches, the students who
have been engaged in the recent
troubles weakened, and to-day gladly
accepted the ultimatum of the council
in signing the required pledge. AT
the mass meeting last night there
raj considerable buster but no action
was taken.
At about 4:30 this afternoon,
half hour before the time expired
when these pledges could be signed
and received, some of the students
began to assemble in the lowers halls
OF the University, in front of the
presidents office. All knew that the
office would be closed promptly at 5
O'Clock. Some suggested that all
unite in singing BLESSED be the tie

OF making some sort of demonstration,
but when the bell sounded and the
presidents office was closed, there
were to be heard only a few faint
cheers from the 100 students. who
then dispersed.
In an interview with DR.. Jesse this
afternoon, after the difficulty had
been settled, he stated, in answer to
the question as to how the parents of
the students regarded the affair, that
ne a not received a single letter that
did not indorse the stand of the
faculty and was not in favor of discip-

PASSING OF BILL" NYE.
Surrounded by His Family, the Great
Humorist Calmly Breathes
His Last.

AsHEvILLE, n. c., Feb. 22.-Edgar
w. Nye died this afternoon at his
home at Buck Shoals. He remained
unconscious throughout all last night,
and during the day it was seen that
he was gradually sinking, and his
death was hourly expected. All the
members of his family and most of
his intimate relatives, including his
grandmother, were with him as he
breathed his last. His death was
peaceful. He lay pale and wan in
the bed, beside which sat his faithful
wife and loving children. He breathed
calmly, but over slower and slower,
until his heart ceased to beat, and he
passed from life to death like a sleep
ing child. His wife, mother and two
daughters are FRUSTRATED with grief.
Mr.. Nye first became known as a
humorist of great promise about
sixteen years ago, when it was dis
covered that he was the writer of
certain capital sketches published in
a Western paper, which was totally
unknown except for his work. Since
that time he has been one of the fore
most humorists in American journal
ism. He was born in Maine. 1t is
contended that he is the man whom
Bret Harte mentions in the "Heathen
Chinee."

"Three years ago we had a beautiful
boy born to us. At the age of eleven
months he breathed his last, a victim
to impure blood. On August 4, 1891,
another boy was born, who at the age
of two months became afflicted with
the same disease. We believed the
trouble was constitutional, and not
common sore mouth. I procured q
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
commenced to give it regularly to
both mother and baby. Improvement
began at once. We have succeeded
in Graduating the scrofulous blood
from the system and to-day we are
blessed with a nice, fat baby boy, Is
months old-the very picture of health,
all life and full of mischief -athanks to

Wonderful Cures of the Mexico, Mo,
Schrader at Springfield, Ill.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb. 22.-Dr.
August Schrader, who styles himself
the Divine Healer, reached here last
night, and to-day opened his office to
the public. The powers of the man
we're demonstrated upon a number of
well known cases. The attendance to-
day, in spite of the falling rain, was
wonderful. Two thousand five hun
dred people of all classes were treated
by the doctor this afternoon alone.
Among those who were made well
by the touch of DIR. Schrader were the
following important ones:
Mrs. Manning was relieved of a
cancer on her side; Mrs. Connors, al
most blind, went from the room see
ing quite well; Mr.. Gutzwiler was
cured of a catarrhal trouble; one lady
went into the room on crutches and
came out walking, a across the
street and hoped on a street car; a
small boy came with crutches, suffer-
ing from paralysis, and walked to his
home many blocks distant.
Other equally as interesting
were treated. The doctor sayshe will
remain here until his work has been
accomplished-relief of the sick and
afflicted. He accepts no money nor
contributions. He claims that persons
must have faith before being treated.
He treats the person by passing his
hand across the forehead, breast,
stomach and limbs, shakes their hand
and turns to the next. He also ''bless-
es" handkerchiefs and other pieces of
clothing sent him for that purpose.
He claims to have no religious be-
lief nor creed. He is "a years old and
affects a garb like that the Savior
wore, and resembles Christ in looks.
People are coming here from many
places to be treated. Traffic was
blockaded in front of his office, and
police had to clear the way for cars,
carriages and pedestrians so great was
the crowd who desired to be treated
to-day.

CARD FROM MR.. cAUTHoRN.
He Endorses the Call of the County
Committee for an Early
Primary.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, No, Feb. 24.-Pernlit me,
MIR. Editor, to humbly add my hearty
endorsement to the action of the
County Democratic Central Commit
tee in fixing an early primary in this
county. 1t think in doing so I express
the sentiments of most of the county
candidates and of nine-tenths of those
who are not candidates. There are a
great many good men asking for the
places to be filed at the next election.
They can't all get there; too many
pigs for the teats. Some will neces-
sarily sibe Left and the sooner they
find it out the better. The time given
is ample for the candidates to visit all
parts of the county and see the dear
people, and when they have done that
they viii be better able to appreciate
the good old Methodist hymn, which
goes something like this:
l would not live always,
ask not to stay,
Where storm after storm rises,
Dark DER the way.
AS l see it, Mr.. Editor, the early
convention is best for many more
reasons, which I can't ask valuable
space in your paper to mention. The
county candidates canvass will bring
out more votes than will come out
any other time. More, l dare say,
than will come out from our party at
the general election next November.
Then why not, at the same primary,
express our choice for Congressman?
The two candidates who will contest
for the votes OF Audrain r both well
and f%avorably known here. They
need no introduction to an Audrain
County audience. Both are gentle
men-honest and able-and if the can
vass was to last six months the peo-
pie would be no better prepared to
vote then than now. The people of
Audrain are all politicians. All read
and think for themselves. They wear
no mans collar and will vote as they
think right, not caring for a long
canvass stirring up bitterness among
ourselves and thereby helping our
political opponents. L think no one
denies that the proceedings of the
County Central Committee were reg
ular; that the committee for years
back mad ordered delegates chosen to
both the congressional and county
conventions at the same time, as in
this case. Then why object now? The
time to have had things different, if it
was desired to have them SO, was be-
fore the committee acted. Now is
the time to acquiesce in what has been
done and to preach harmony. Har-
mony is what we want and lots of it,
else when the ides of November come
we won't know what has hurt us.
B. K. CAUTHoRN.
