J. NJ. SEIBERT.

In recent interview, when asked
if the reports were true that he was
to be the candidate of the sound
money faction of the Democratic
party, State Auditor Seibert rtreplied:
81 have noticed the publication of
that statement, and I desire to say,
emphatically, that it is as false as it
is malicious. That charge is pur-
posely made to prejudice my free
silver friends against me in advance
of my supposed candidacy. I am in
accord with the majority of the Mis-
souri, Democracy on the financial is
sue. am true bimetallist, in fav-
or of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold ct the ratio of 16
to l, thus making both gold and sill
yer standard money of redemption
without discriminating against either
metal" "
''If l decide to enter the race for
any Office on the State ticket I will
do so as Democrat, not as the rep
resentative of any other man or set
of men, or of any faction or particu-
lar element of the party. I am the
tool of no man and wear no man S
collar. If / determine to become a
candidate I shall frankly make my
announcement and clearly define my
position on all public questions at
the proper time, and shall hope to
receive support from all elements of
the party"

A Weii-Planned Elopemcnt.

A runaway couple were married
on o railway train near Shclbyville,
Ind, recently. The girls parents
opposed the match, and watched her
closely to prevent her giving them
the slip and getting married. The
young man learned that the squire
was to travel by a certain train one
day last week, and arranged withthe
girl to meet him ut the station. He
went to Columbus and got the
license, met the girl at the station as
the train came in, and the pair
boarded it and wers married by the
squire before the train had gone
many miles and before any stop was
made where they could be inter

THEY WANT "PIE.'

Since the accident of two years ago
which sent N. A. Motley to Congress
from this district, every Republican
politician has been kicking himself
for refusing the supposed "empty
honor" of the Republican nomination
for Congress.
But they don't propose to get left
this time. Everywhere Republican
candidates are bobbing up. N. A.
Motley, of Stoddard; Seth Barnes, of
New Madrid, and ]. A. Snider, of
Cape county, have already announced,
and there are yet fourteen counties
to hear from.
The Republicans of this section are
getting themselves into a pretty
mess. B. B. Cahu.on is their choice
for governor. He is a good man and
an advocate of free silver. Motley
and John Snyder are goldbues, while
Seth Barnes is for free silver but
don't want it mentioned. He says
it is ''minor ISSUE" The platform
which these fellows fix up will, in all
probability, be novelty.

SENATOR VEsT's term will expire

on foot to elect his successor (Which,

the legislature. We favor this move
and only hope it will be adopted by
all the different States of the Union.
The Illinois Taubeneck affair and the

in favor of popular vote from Pres

HAVING A BIG TINE.


Growers Venezuelan Commission,
appointed by the President for the
purpose of locating the boundary line
between Venezuela and the British
claim, in South America, is having
q high old time at public expense.
About three or four months ago Con-
gress appropriated s100, 900 to pay
the expense of this commission, and
now comes the news that this amount
has almost been absorbed and that
as little is known about the boundary
line as when the work was first be-
gun.
According to the Christian A7ro-
cate this commission is having high
old time at the expense of the peo-
pie. Their quarters are furnished in
handsome style, with polished oak
desk, book cases and dressing cases,
and the numerous lounges, Sofas and
chairs are richly upholstered in leath-
er. The Secretary and each memberof
the Commission has separate room,
and each room is provided with
every comfort, including a solid sill
yer pitcher and salver. There is q
large force of assistants, including
stenographers, translators, clerks,
typewriters and messengers, and the
allowances for salaries and expenses
are said to be extremely liberal. A
sumptuous luncheon is served to the
Commission during the progress Of
each days session.
But the funny part of it all is that
now, since the appropriation has
about been absorbed, comes the fur
ther intelligence ''that the diplomats
of Great Britain and Venezuela have
consented to come together and dis
cuss the various phases of the diff
Guilty between the two countries with
regard to the boundary dispute. "
Why could not this have been done
before Grover got out his tin war
trumpets and toy guns, and before
800, 900 of the peoples money was
expended? 1t is the old, old story
anything to fool the people. The
NEwsDoY can truthfully say, eve
told you so. D."

SENATOR CARTER, chairman of the
Republican National Committee, and
Western man, has this to say about
the Eastern wing of his party: ''The
Eastern Republican opposition to sill
yer legislation is unseemingly and
unwise. 1t has become fashion
able, apparently, to abuse
silver Republican Senators and
silver Republican States, and
thoughtless Republicans have injudi-
ciously announced that Western
States may take up their traps and
leave the Republican party-that
their votes are not needed. Happily
the invitation lacks commanding
authority. 1t is important that Re-
publicans should understand that
this thoughtless chatter, this mali.
cious and unjustitied abuse, if not
tempered by the better sense of the
Republicans who meet in National
convention, will inevitably lead to a
decree forever forbidding the Repub-
lican party from placing another law
on the statute books of this Nation
To conceal the gravity of the situa'
tion will serve no useful purpose.

PAST THE CENTURY MARK.
History Of Man One Hundred and
Twenty-Five Years Old.


Cases OF the ''oldest man living"
are constantly turning up, and the
world grows more and more doubtful
about the truth OF stories about very
aged people. However, what seems
to be well authenticated case of
man 1876 years old comes from Red
Bud, Ill. Bazyl La Chappelle, half
breed Kaskaskia Indian, died near
there last week ut that advanced
age.
He was the son Of Langlois La
Chappelle, o French officer stationed
ut Fort Chartres. In 1865 his father
married Kaskaskia Indian maiden,
who had become Christian and left
her tribe to become his wife. Dur
ing the year of their marriage Fort
Chartres was captured by an English
regiment under Col. Gowry and the
French garrison of 81 men fled to
Kaskaskia, and with them went La
Chappelle and his young Indian
bride.
The French possessions east Of the
Mississippi were ceded to Great
Britain the same year La Chappelle
and his wife, with o number Of
French families from the same place,
who were determined never again to
live on English soil, left Kaskaskia
for Fort Genevie, where Bazyl was
born on August 16, ITO. After liv-
ing in St. Genevie for two years
Bazyl's mother fed from her hus-
band and civilization to rejoin her
tribe, and La Chappelle, heartbroken,
concluded to return to Fort Chart
res and live under the old English
rule.
Bazyl's father died at Fort Chart
res in 1774, and is buried In the ST.
Philippe cemetery, near the old fort.
The boy had become favorite with
the English soldiers and was adopted
by one of the officers. In 1776 an
overflow Of the Mississippi cut away
the southeast angle Of the fort and
the garrison was removed to Fort
Gaze, opposite Kaskaskia, where
Bazyl was cared for by the English
until the capture Of the settlement
by company Of rangers under Capt
Clark in 1779, when Father Bro
bisquet, Catholic priest, took the
boy and cared for him.
When young La Chappcllc was 1a
years of age band of Kakaskia In
} dians came to the village to barter
furs, and among them was Bazyrs
mother. Learning that her son was
still alive, she went to him and in.
duccd him to leave his home and &C
, with her. The Lad soon forgot his
religious training, and, liking the
wild life of his ancestors, remained
with the tribe until the death of his
: mother, which occurred in 1889. Ht
then returned to Kaskaskia and be
/ came trapper and guide in the en-
ploy of ON Indian trader named Men
ard. He conducted trading partie:

years he bought q small farm be
tween Kaskaskia and Prairie d,
Rocher, where be lived until hi
' death. He was q light eater, neve1

At the time of his death he ha.

ABOUT THEIR HONOR (?).

The gold standard wing of the
Democratic party never tires of re-
minding the masses that they must
be, honorable and abide by any
scheme they may succeed in saddling
upon the people. In order to secure
something in the nature of pledge
from the people of this State the
Francis organ of St. Louis sent to
the different newspaper men of this
State q telegram asking if, in their
opinion, the members of the party
were in honor bound to support the
nominees of convention. The NEW
BOY replied as follows:
''When a convention is honorably
conducted, and the people are honest
ly represented, then the participants
are in honor bound by its action"
Quite number of the cuckoo varie-
ty answered briefly, EYES," Ger
tainly,' ETC., but it was a noticeable
fact that the colder heads demanded
that the will of the people should
rule, and not the machine. The
time has past when people will swal-
low any and everything that is sad
died upon them. A few men can no
longer control q county or State by
questionable methods and then de-
mand that it is the duty of everyone
to abide by the result. The people
demand a little fairness even in pcli-
tics.
But the goldbugs refuse to prac-
tice what they preach. They only
want the common people to stand by
them when they are successful, and
intimate that it would be dishonor-
able in the highest degree not to do
so, but when the gold gamblers are
turned down they feel that in order
to maintain their ''honor" (gold) they
must break away from the free sill.
