st. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 29.-(Special.) The
sound money people of this part of the
county, irrespective of party. had things
their way in St Joseph to-day. The city is
full Of sound money men, who are here
and participated in the great parade to-
night under the auspices of the Railroad
Mems Sound Money Club. There were
three meetings, at the Tootle and Craw-
ford theaters and Turner hall, Immediately
after the parade. At the Tootle theater,
William WEIGH, Missouri Pacific pass
enger conductor. of Kansas City, presided.
A. E. Stilwen, Of Kansas City, was the
orator of the evening. His speech was
illustrated by charts, coins and other
things necessary to make his subject more
clearly understood. The Tootle theater was

HOW TO KILL REACHES.
There Are Many Remedies Proposed,
but They Do Not FIJI the Bill.

but They Do Not Fiji the Bill.
From the New York Journal.
A topic which never fails to interest the
housewife. and one which never grows
threadbare in conversation where women
meet, Is that Of the best and surest meth
Cd or exterminating the ubiquitous cock
roach or Croton bug. Some women assert
phaf skillful trapping will thin their num-
bers, but that method, of course, involves
perpetual trouble, and the reaches are like
iy to increase faster than they are killed,
Another lady. after much patient training
bestowed upon-a cat from kittenhood to
maturity. succeeded in educating her in
telligent feline up to a taste for reaches
as an article of food. Sad to relate. how.
ever, shortly after the cats course of in
struction was completed and 1t began to
be useful, Tabby's constitution broke down
under the rich diet and she sickened and
died. Even monkeys. who can assimilate
anything from plug tobacco to lucifer
matches, became lean and slippered pam
falcons on prolonged course Of cock
roach.
There Is one case, at least, too, Of a man
whom cockroaches drove into nervous pros
tration. He secured a place on a popular
periodical, and the answering of anxious
queries in the correspondents column was
assigned to him. He said he liked the job
well enough at nrSt, until, day after day,
he was forced to tell anxious housewives a
sure way of exterminating Croton bugs
He suggested insecticide powders and car
bolic acid, separate and together, but soon
letters began to pour in saying that the
bugs thrived on these things, and asking
If he could not think of something else
which experience had not proved vain.
Driven to desperation, he began to use his
imagination and gravely recommended at
first the keeping of sparrows-for he re-
membered what miscellaneous feeders
these birds were. Several women, he after
ward said, took him at his word. and wrote
him Indignantly, after faithful trial, that
the sparrows would starve to death, rather
than feed on cockroaches, even If the lat
ter were presented to them on a bit of
buttered toast.
Then, his mind having failed slowly in
the meantime, the unfortunate man ad-
vised Anxious Mother" through the COL
umns of his paper to buy hedgehog and
keep In 1t in the basement of her house,
letting It roam about the kitchen during
the night time. He added that the hedge
hog was omAivorous. and the only thing
whose appetite could keep pace with the
fecundity OF the cockroach. The idea was
so manifestly absurd that 1t called out
many letters Of Indignant protest, and
showed such a decrease in the number of
subscribers that the unfortunate sub-ed-
itor was forced to resign and go to the
country for a long rest.

THE FIGHT ON BLAND.
1t Is Being vigorously Waged In the
Eighth Observation-Disclosures to
Lend a Hand.

Jefferson City. Oct. 2s-(Specialo The
contest on congressman in the Eighth dis
trict is getting extremely warm, and the
opposition forces hope to lay "Silver Dick"
Bland on the shelf forever. He is making
a tour of his district, making speeches for
dear life, but it does not appear that he is
gaining many votes. He spoke in this city
on Saturday last to a small audience. The
sound money Democrats are after him in
earnest and they are aiding Hubbard to
defeat him by all means in their power
Hon. Simon B. Buckner. the sound money
Democratic vice presidential nominee, will
arrive here at $3.50 p. m. Friday and deliver
an address in the hall of the house of rep
resentatives. This is to aid Hubbard to
defeat Bland because the sound money
Democrats believe that their cause will be
aided greatly if the big silver champion
can be defeated Special trains will be run
on all the railroads leading to the city
and an immense gathering is expected.

VETERANS FOR M'KINLEY.
Kansas VIII Vote for
Their COmrade.

Topeka. Kas. Oct. 29-(Special) secre-
tary Coulter. of the Veterans Patriotic
League, of Kansas, has almost completed
an enrolment Of the ex-soldiers of the
state. Reports have been received from
eighty-four counties, and SO far 81, s,a2e have
been enrolled. This does not include the
soldiers living in the six large cities. The
secretary. in making the enrolment, also
took occasion to find out the politics of
each old veteran. The footings obtained
first show that there were 3,0g who
claimed to be Democrats, 4,239 silver Re-
publicans and $40 Populists. The balance
were for Mckinley. Upon the second poll
of the same counties. the change to the
Republican tickets. both national and state,
from the Democratic party was $50; silver
Republicans, 5.4ss: Populsts, 3.s4S, or a to-
tai change of s.s11. This only leaves few
over 5000 who have not signified their in
tention to vote for Mckinley, and the sec
retary says that many of that number will
change before election day.

AN ocToGENAR1AN scoRcHER.
Claims to BE the Oldest Wheelwomal
on the Pacific Coast.

Claims to BE the Oldest Wheelwoman
on the Pacific Coast.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Miss Christina E. Yates claims the dis
tinction of being the oldest wheelwoman
in the state. She is proud Of the record
she has made awheel. and stands ready
to meet any woman Of her age on the
coast, either In contest Of skillful riding
or as a matter of endurance. Miss Yates
is so years old. She says that age does not
count when it comes to riding bicycle.
She can wheel her way over the roughest
roads and seldom gets weary.
Miss Yates resides at $50 Grove street,
Oakland, where she can be seen almost
any day going out for her exercise. She
gave an exhibition of riding yesterday
morning in Jefferson park, Oakland, In the
presence Of a number of people. The way
she sailed around the paths and cut the
figure eight with the wheel was revela-
ton to few young damsels who had been
inclined to make some fun of the aged
cycler. But Miss Yates does not fear the
smiles of the younger members Of her sex.
On the contrary, she enjoys attracting
some attention, and is pleased to be recog-
nized as the champion old lady rider.
Miss Yates had for an escort yesterday
E. G. Wilbur, the man who can stand on
his head while riding wheel. Sometimes
by way of change. Mr.. Wilbur takes
trip into the country. riding on single
railroad rail in order to astonish the ma
tives. 1t was under the care of Mr.. Will
bur that Miss Yates first learned to ride a
wheel. She has made such a success that
he will now teach her how to become q
trick rider. The old lady has never been
timed on any of her trips. and consequent
ly has not established time record. but
she will do so before long.
Miss Yates does not like boomers. She
does not believe they are just the proper
thing, and SO refuses to wear them. Ex-
perience has taught her, she says, that
light skirt does very well.
81 believe am the oldest woman bicycle
rider on the coast" said Miss Yates, after
giving an exhibition Of her riding and pos
ing for her picture. II am proud of it,
and intend to hold the record. I do not
believe there Is woman Of my age in the
state who can outdo me in ordinary or
trick riding. It was queer the way
learned to ride. I saw lot of these old
gray-headed men around town sailing
along on wheels, and came to the conclu-
sion that there must be something good in
1t. said to myself, II an old man can
ride wheel surely an old woman can
equal him. So I got wheel and COM
menced to ride, and now here I am,
maiden lady Of so years, and the champion
rider of my sex as to age. In short time
1 am going back to my home to astonish
the natives Won't the boys open their
eyes when they see Christina coming into
town on a wheel and cutting figure eight
on the way"
Wonderful old woman" said Mr.. Will
bur- after he had scorched around the
track with the old lady. "I'll challenge her
against anybody of her age in the state
either as a distance or trick rider. I
don't believe there is any old man Of 80
who can beat her."
