''The ST. Louis Republican Con-

son, emphatically, in answer to the
query of a local reporter.
"Who will be the nominee of the

"Allison, replied the Iowan. NC
Kinley will receive the most votes on
the first ballot, but will never secure
sufficient to insure his nomination.
Allison will be nominated on the last

or Republicans, are anxious for a re-
turn of good times, and this desider-
atum can only be attained bya change
of Administration"
Mr.. Clarkson was accompanied by
Maj. E. N. Ford, prominent New

ator Andrews, Of Philadelphia, and
B. A, Barnes, of New York, and the

Yes, sir. | fought with Stonewall,

AS he galloped To the sea:
But if this here Uunion goes to war,

Round Stonewall Jackson's way,
And many IA time this sword of mine

But If this old Union goes TO war,

IsIacJIon to every friend sf euuCatIUn
to contemplate the results That will
surely follow from their lnfiuence.
Under the law OF lS9J every town
must eject Il Board OF brary Trustees,
whether 1t has free public library or
not, and small assessment is made
compulsory unless the town votes that
it us lneXpedlent TO establish Ii
brary." But this action must be
taken each year, the evident purpose
of the law being thai the subject OF a
free public library shall be brought
annually to the attention of every
town in the State. In towns where
there is no public library the assess
ment is to form fund, in the care of
the Trustees, until such time as a Ii
brary is established.
1t was not lntened by the law that
the compulsory assessment should be
a sufficient support for the library,
and it is to be hoped that each town
will make an additional appropriation,
in order that its library may be con
stantly increasing and be maintained
at a high standard of efficiency. There
can be no better investment in any
town-after the schools have been
provided for-than the Judicious ex-
penditure OF money for the purchase
of books that shall be free and in the
reach of every citizen. 1t is d matter
to be thought about, and talked about,
and acted upon when the voters come

While Duck Hunting at Dutch
town.

Monday afternoon John a. Snider,
Henry. Wagner. Jas. r. Jenkins and
John Macke, of Jackson, went down
to Dutchtown to spend the night shoot
ing ducks On the big pond just west of
Dutchtown. At the pond they separ-
ated when night come on and all went
to work to hunt their game. John
Macke and Henry Wagner were some
to or three hundred yards apart,
bat nei her one knew the whereabouts
of the other. The night was dark
and the hunters had to shoot by guess.
1t seems that Macke was wading
through the pond and when near Wag-
ner he made little noise in the water.
Wagner heard the noise and thinking
it wa made by flock of ducks he
took aim at where he thought the
noise was and fired. The whole load
of duckshot struck Macke in the legs
Just above the knees. Macke managed
to get out of the pond, but he was
dangerously hurt. The shooting wa,
accidental. The men could not SEA-
each other when the the shooting Oc-
Icoured. Macke was taken to his homr.

4 Mystery in sound.

In the delta of the Ganges a myster-
ious sounds heard, to which the name
of "Barisal Guns" is given, because
of its resemblance to the dull report
of distant artillery. Similar noises
are we'll knownto to the lighthouse keep
ers and fishermen of Ostend and Bou-
logne, who call them the ''mist pouf-
fers," or fog dissipators, and gen.
orally hear them on the evening of a
hot day in summer. Although the
sounds arecompared to thedetonations
OF guns, they are not very like these,
and they occur at irregular intervals.
Their origin is enveloped in mystery,
but some physicists regard them as
electrical detonatons, such as might
be produced by flashes of ordinary
lightning or the explosion of globe
lightning, while others refer them TO
the shocks OF fluid matter i'll the bowels
OF the earth or the rumbIing of sligh
earthq uakes. Public Opinion.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March IL
The last General Assembly apprO-
priated $3.50, 900 for the pay of criminal
costs: $4,000 of this amount was for a
deficiency carried over from 1894, but
OF the $500, 900 appropriated for the
years 1866 there remains to-day in
the Treasury of the State only $500.
All the rest has been expended and
conservative estimate is that there will
be a deficiency Of at least $3.50, 900 for
the next General Assembly to meet.
This will have to he carried by the
various sheriffs, Circlit Clerks, Clerr S

THANKS TO THE RlCYLCLE.
II Has Accomplished Wonders in
Teaching Women How to Dress.

w ho~ ~ hIeSb.
Winter cycling has done one good
thing for women; it has revolutionized
their ideas in regard to underwear.
The countTyman who came to town
and remarked, on seeing nothing on
the bed set aside for him by his rich
host but one light blanket and an ei-
derdown quilt well, I'll oe gol-
darnedl alters told Nancy that half
the women folks died of freezing, and
now they want to freeze me, to, was
not so very far wrong. For many
years physicians and dress reformers
have coniended that the majority of
women hurt their health by not dress
ing warmly enough, and now they are
saying that the bicycle is rapidly
changing this bad habit This is es-
pecially true of those wOmen.who make
a Practice of riding in cold weather.
The dress adopted by the ave, a-e
woman is lightweight but all-wool
union suit, WOODEN stockings, heavy
woolen tights and sweater, in ad-
ditien to the cycling suit, which is
made of winter material. Clothed in
this way they should suffer very lit
tie from the cold.

said one girl, and the mud quite i'm
passable, but outside of those TWO
elements the day can't come cold
enough to keep rapid spin from

Men have always been more Sc si-
BILE than women ia the matter of under
wear, and this is probably due to the
fact that convention in dress with
them does not fnd warm fannels in
the way. They claim that the only
additional garment a man requires
tor winter cycling is heavy sweater.
However all this may BE-, one thIng IS

Death oi .,,ar.ia Exgimann.

When Saturday evenings sun had
hid behind the pale-green wheattields
and Morpheus had gently spread her
covers, the family of Mr.. Jacob Eggi-
mann knew their deepest sorrow.
Martin, a dutiful son, and loving
brother, departed this life to meet 'he
Father whom he has worshipped and
spend his days of eternity with angels.
He was nineteen years of age. To
him, life was dear, life was sweet, but
he heard the voice of God calling him
and expressed himself willing to go.
His dying words were these: 'They
who seek me early shall find me.
Father, l have sought the and now
am ready to meet thee, receive me in
thy loving embrace"
With his talent, perseverance,, ,integ-
rity success was never more plain
ly mapped out in the life of young
man. He was the idolized star of an
affectionate family, loved by host q
friends and never knew an enemy.
He was an energetic student at the
Normal and was praised for his per-
severnce and probity by both teachers
and schoolmates.
With nineteen days work he would
have closed one of the most successful
terms of school ever taught in Need
more District. Never was a teacher
more loved by his pupils. Such a
life is hard to leave, but our Heavenly
Father knoweth best.
