COUNTERFEIT SILVER DOLLARS.

at WarrensburE, Mo.
Warrensburg, Mo-, Oct. 2s-(SpecIal.)
Counterfeit silver dollars have circulated
freely in Warrensburg the past week. and
a number have turned up at the banks.
Inquiry developes that almost every mer-
chant in the city has accepted one or more
pieces of the spurious coins. The coun-
terfeit is dated 1886, and is ITO grains short
in weight. 1t is almost perfectly milled
and can be detected from the genuine only
by it's weight. From the number in cir
culation. it is thought that the coins are
made near WarrenSburg.

A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
The Experience of Western Pioneer
Among the Wild Rocks of Montana.

The Experience of a Western Pioneer
Among the Wild Rocks of Montana.
Here is thrilling adventure which a
western pioneer experienced some time
ago among the wild rocks of Montana.
he was travelling on narrow trail above
the falls of the raging Grande Rhone
river when he came to a landslide about
twenty feet across, which left no trail on
the smooth, precipitous rock. He was
trapped. The trail was so narrow that
the horse could not possibly turn back.
Above the break in the trail was sharp
crag of rock. On his saddle bow was a
strong rope sixty feet long, in the use of
which as lasso he was quite an expert.
He steadied himself upon the saddle,
swung the rope over his head and hurl-
ed 1t high in the air. 1t was settled
firmly over the crag. He tried it care
fully. 1t was firm. His saddle was a
new and strong one, with double cinch-
es. Around the horn he wound the
rope. He urged his horse on the edge
of the preclpice.
The faithful beast stood firm. He
| would not step over, but the rider drew
up the slack and pulled with all his pow
er. Inch by inch he drew the straining
horse forward, till his feet slipped and
he swung over the chasm. The rider
held his breath as he looked at the river
below and the slender rope above, but
he was across the gap. He sprung up
the trail and tugged at the reins to help
his horse in gaming his feet. Hepulled
and the horse lunged up into the trail
with the chasm behind them. He rode
away and left the rope dangling for the
use of the next wayfarer who CHANGED to
come that way.

THE NEGRO DELEGATE.
INTERESTING INTERVIEWS WITH
HIM AT ST. LOUIS.
He Knew All About the Money Question
and Talked Readily to Newspapers
Representatives.
REPRESENTATIVE

A correspondent of a New York news
paper at ST. Louis was cruel enough to
interview number of the negro dele
gates to the republican convention on the
currency question and to print what they
said. These interviews must have prov
ed instructive to the northern republi-
can readers as to the men and methods
by which the candidates of their party
are selected and its policies determined.
One of she negro delegates replied
when asked for his views as to the free
coinage of silver: 81 am for sound
money if am treated right; otherwise,
am a free lance" In other words, he
was in the market for bidder for
his vote, and not at all reluctant
to let .ha fact be known. Another ne
gro delegate explained: "Whatever the
majority calls sound money I call sound
money" He did not even pretend TO
have an opinion of his own. The most
amusing of the interviews, however,
was that given to the reporter by a dele
gate who is described as "Mr Stevens of
Alabama" To the usual question Mr..
Stevens replied: eve ought to have a
sound currency, an honest dollar, three
in one and one in three. I favor both
gold and silver, with malice toward none
and good will toward all mankind. We
ought to have a far ramifying employ
ment of The minteral wealth of our ar
gent occident so far as is cons stent with
conscientious regard for ultima'e valua-
tons and coordinate circumstances bas-
ically considered and gently, firmly
treated, If our platform shall declare
some simple potent principle as this the
ticket will elect itself without anybody
voting for it,
This report of the interview with Mr..
Stevens of Alabama bears truth on it's
face. No white man alive could have
invented it. The picture it presents of
an Ignorant negro, prominent in his
church, perhaps a preacher, who is fur
Their swelled with selfimpOrtance by a
literal knowledge of lab0riously spelled
out by words of the existence of which
he was recently unaware, and still more
inflated by being selected as a political
leader, is perfectly true to life. The
mystery of the Trinity and of the ratio
we're evidently on parity in Mr.. Stew
ems mind, and it no doubt seemed to
aim just as easy to explain either of
them as to demonstrate that the republi-
can candidates can easily be elected
without anyone voting for them. Mr.
Stevens of Alabam is the kind # man
that the republican managers of con-
ventions find very useful.

A DEAD MAN AT THE THROTTLE.
A Fast Mail Has Narrow Escape From
Plunging into the River.

Fast Mail Has Narrow Escape From
Plunging into the River.
The fact that a fireman happened to
notice the failure to signal the draw
keeper on the big bridge across the
Mississippi river at Burlington, Iowa, is
all that saved the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy fast mail from going to the
bottom of the RIVER a day or two ago.
The train was going at the rate of mile
minute, with Eugineer V. B. GoldIngs
dead at his position, where he could not
be readily seen by the fireman, when
the bridge was approached. The draw
was open and had the train been a min
ute sooner or had the fireman not MOTTO
ed the failure to whistle it would have
gone through the draw, or dashed iato
the train on the other side.
Goldings had a horrible cash in his
head and was dead, but how he met his
death is mystery.

FOUR YEARS GETTING WOOD.
An Incident in the Life of an Eccentric
Man Recalled at His Death.

Man Recalled at His Death.
From the Louisville Post.
Robert VIM, and old and eccentric
character, died at his home on Harris
creek, this county, yesterday. "Uncle
Bob," as he was Familiarity called, lived
to bury two wives, and, not wishing to
slight either, on his dying BED he asked
that his remains be buried by the side Of
his faithful dog that had but few DAYS
ago preceded him. The request was
granted.
The death of "Uncle Bob recalls an
incident in his life that is decidedly out
OF the ordinary. During the opening
scenes of the late war "Uncle Bob was
anxious to join the confederate army.
His wife was opposed to his doing
so, and used every argument and effort
within her power to prevent it. One
cold winter morning, after "Uncle Bob''
had abandoned the idea, as, Mrs. VIM
supposed, of joining the army, she ask
ed "Uncle Bob'' to 60 to the wood yard
and gather some wood with which to re-
kindle the fire. "Uncle Bob started.
but instead of gathering wood" he
walked to the Mississippi and Joined the
army, and for four long years fought for
the cause of the confederacy. At the
close of the war he returned to the home
he had suddenly deserted. Entering by
way of the wood yard, he gathered up
an armful of wood and, entering the
room, he found his faithful wife, who
had continued to remain at the old
home. Walking up to the fireplace he
carelessly threw down his armful of
wood, and, looking into the face of his
now dumbfounded wife, cooDy remark
ed: "Here's your wood after which
he proceeded to make himself at home
as of yore.

HuNeARYs MILLENNIUM.
Some Facts About the Exposition Now
Being Held In Budapest.

Some Facts About the Exposition Now
Being Held In Budapest.
One thousand years ago, after long
and painful wanderings, the Hungarians
established themselves as a distinct Eu-
ropean nation, and it is to commemorate
the great event of 500 in the national
life that the present exhibition is being
held.
The exposition, which, it is estimated,
has cost, in round figures, about 4, S00,-
900 forms, comprises two principal Sec
tions-one devoted to historical docu-
ments and relics, either original or re-
produced, and the other devoted to
modern arts and sciences as they are
found today in Hungary. In this latter
section special display will be made
of everything relating to education,
modern Hungarian literature and sci
enoe, hygiene, commerce, finances, ag-
riculture, forestry, mining, machinery,
shipping, architecture, woodwork, pot
terry, glass, textile industries, printing,
working in gold and silver, chemical
products. food, ethnography and the
military service.
There is in the exposition great va
riety of buildings, and almost all of
them are well worth seeing. To the for
eigner they will be especially attractive,
since they will tell him more in one day
about Hungarian life and customs than
he could learn by months of travelling
or years of study. Hungary and, above
all, Hungarian village life, are full of
interest, and nowhere in the exposition
will the scholar as well as the dilettante
find quite as much pleasure as he will
in these quaint and curious buildings.
The principal idea Of the exhibition
is to show the history of Hungary for
the past 1, 900 years. There is no other
European country which has gone
through more vicissitudes and changes
than the land of Magyars in that long
period, so that the survey can hardly
fail to be interesting to all nations. In
the grounds are buildings of every style

vania, being copies of castles, palaces,

ings, each of them of full dimensions
with the original decorations They
furnish an architectural study in the
styles of the different centuries, espe-
cially the last five, such as no other ex-
hibition up to the present time has ever
afforded.
Among these structures may be men
toned the exact reproduction of the
castle of Vaida Hunyad in Pennsylvania
erected in the fourteenth century, which
vies with the palace of the time of
Maria Theresa and with the Abbey of
ST. Jaak, the oldest Romanesque church
in Hungary. The historical building is
filed with art treasures, not only in
gold and other metals, but in glass,
wood and stone, from the chief churches,
monasteries and palaces of Hungary,
and thus presents unique opportunity
for studying the influence Of eastern up
