The Board of Fund Commissioners
met to day and ordered warrants
drawn for S99,44 to pay the inter-
est due July l on the outstanding
bonded debt of the state, and $780,
923. 95 to pay the interest due en-
the school seminary certificates Of

The board also ordered a warrant
drawn for $337,000 to pay off and
retire 337 of the old Hannibal and
St. Joseph bonds maturing July l.
With this payment there will remain
but eleven of the 6 per cent bonds
outstanding against the state. They
mature in July, 1897, but there is
money now in the treasury to pay
them, and al effor. is beng made to
procure and retire them in advance
of their maturity. With those elev-
en- bonds of $1,000 each paid. all
the bonds of the state then out
standing will be the 81 per cent and
the public debt will amount to only

There were heavy, dark circles under
his eyes and he would breathe labo-
riously, like a man SO completely

Very few of the republican lead.
ers think that Teller has any chancs
of capturing the democratic nomina-
ton. Many of them are surprised
that he should allow his friends to
use his name as they did to-day.
This is because of the effort they
made in the convention yesterday to
advertise that he is a republican in
all things until it comes to the ques
tion of finances. He knew that his
way and that OF the republican party
must part, but he fingered as long
as possible. He was one of those
who made the fight to have the vote
upon the adoption of the financial
plank of the platform taken sepa
rately from that on the rest of the
platform. This privilege was grant
ed, and he and the other free silver
delegates voted for the rest of the
platform.
II he intended to become a candi-
date upon the democratic ticket, it
is argued it would have been more
consistent for him not to have asked
for division Of the platform, and
for himself and followers to have
voted agaidst it's adoption in its en-
tirety, as he has by his vote declared
himself in favor of many principles
which will not be the principles the
platform will advocate. Many be-
lieve, Notwithstanding the manifesto
issued to day, that Senator Teller
will not allow his name to go before
the Chicago convention, but that he
will be there to urge the nomination
of Bland or some other free silver
democrat

night Senator Teller told one of the
leading democratic politicians Of
Missouri that he was for Bland for

men who followed him when he

a manifesto placing him before the
democratic party as a candidate for
the nomination. Teller himself does
not take much stock in his own

The building came down with an
awful crash and the structure was IN
a moment a mass of kindling wood.
There were large number Of people
in the building at the time. Two
laborers, Michael Howard and James
Daley, at work on the building, state
that the accident was caused by the
fact that the jackscrews supporting
the building were much higher On

a man. Across his body was large
beam. He cried piteoualy for help.
/ After working half an hour the res.

to the receiving hospital.

to the horror the debris caught FIRE

smoke blinded the rescuers. The
engines commenced to play stream

For the Missouri Room .

Maj. H. W. Salmon has sent
handsomely framed copy of Bing-
hams famous picture, General Or
der No. H., to the ex Confederate
Association, to be placed in the Mis-
ssuri room, at the coming reunion
at Richmond. The picture is q
wonderfully perfect delineation of
the desolation caused by the enforce.
ment of this famous order of Cen
eraI Ewing, and was painted by the
greatest Missouri artist, James c..
Bingham. When Ewing contem-
plated issuing this order, which was
/" utterly devastate Bates, Cass and
jackson counties with fire and sword
he was urged to be merciful by
Bingham who was his chief of staff.
Convinced of the cruelty and utter
uselessness of the order, Bing ham
was urgent il his appeals, but find
ing the general deaf to all his en-
treaties, he told him that if he en-.
forced it, he would "Damn Him to
Everlasting Fame" The order was
enforced and the result WAS the
painting of this, the most famous Of
all Bingham's pictures, and one o1
the most terrible and pathetic of itt
kind. The central figure, an officer
in the foreground, on whom all eyes
are turned in duplication or hate
has been given the features and
dress OF Ewing, and the picture has
indeed seemed to keep him svel
prominently before the public-se
faithfully indeed was the likeness
drawn that last year when the gen
eral died. his picture in the painting
could be distinguished by the cut:
in the papers 1t is peculiarly ap
propriate that the picture should b.
sent from the section which suffered
from the execution of the order
