Paine's celery compound taken during

Hon. CHAMP CLARK has received q
most cordial invitation to address the
voters of st. Charles. Mr.. Clark will
accept this invitation and will make
one of the very best speeches of the
campaign. The prospect now is that
Mr. Clark will get the largest vote
ever polled for any Democrat in this
district. The Bryan and Sewall DEM
ocratic club of st. Charles at its last
meeting unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolped, That the Hon. Champ
Clark be invited to address the Bryan
and Sewall Free Silver Club and citi-
zens of st. Charles at such time before
the election as may suit his conven-
ience and that he be requested to
make two speeches on said occasion,
one at the fire hall in the Fourth
Ward from to O'Clock ,and the other
at the Opera House after the con-
clusion of his speech in the Fourth
Ward, and be it
Resolued, That a committee of nine
be appointed to make the necessary
arrangements for the reception and
entertainment of Mr.. Clark; that the
chairman of this meeting and the vice.
presidents Of each of the four wards
be ex-officio members of said com
mittee and one other member to be

LARGE INCREASE IN VOTE.
Democratic Plurality Win be at Least
50, 900 Tom Watson Knocked Out
in the First Round.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. S.-Indications
this morning are that the Democratic
ticket has carried Georgia by no less
than 5000 majority, this being the
majority OF Atkinson over Wright for
Governor, while the majority for the
remainder of the State ticket will
probably be not less than 5000. At
kinson runs somewhat behind the 9TH
er Democratic nominees on account
of the vigorous efforts Of his Papulist
opponents and appeals of unfounded
prejudice against him His majority
of IS, 900 10 1900 more than his ma
jority over the Populists two years
ago.
Returns received by the Constitution
indicate q large increase In the Demo-
cratic vote throughout the State.
Many Democratic counties lost two
years ago give large majorities for
Atkinson, and other counties which
gave majorities of from 300 to 500 then
viii give Atkinson from 500 to 1000
majority now.
In the tenth district, which 10 the
residence OF Hon. Thomas E. Watson,
the Populist nominee for vice-Presi-
dent, the aggregate vote is larger than
that of the Populists.
The legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic, the indications being that
the Populists viii not have as many
members IN the next legislature as In
the present, In which they have nearly
forty members. The probability ID
that the Populists wiil'have less than
twenty i've members in the next gen.

WILL BLACKBURN CHALLENGE.
Prospects For Q Duel Between the
Kentucky Senator and the Sec
retary's Son.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Rumors are
in the air to the effect that Senator
Blackburn may challenge Logan Car
Isle to fight q duel because OF the lat
ter's recently printed card, in which
he declared 1t would be more honor to
hold a joint debate on the financial
question with negro than with Black
burn.
But so far as can be learned here no
challenge has been received. The Sem
ator left town Saturday and has not
been heard from since, and the offlci-
ais at headquarters are greatly an
noyed because of his failure to keep
engagements. His departure seems
to be enveloped in mystery. The
theory advanced here is that Senator
Blackburn is consulting with friends
preparatory to challenging Logan Car
Isle, although Carlisle's friends ridi-
cule this idea and he himself is not
disturbed by the prospect that he may
be called upon to pose as a living
target.
At the same time Blackburn's friends
severely condemn Carlisle's card AND
think the invidious comparison be-
tween the Senator and the colored man
was unnecessary.
On the other hand, Carlisle's friends
assert that the reference was called
forth by frequent insinuations said to
have been aimed by Blackburn at
both Logan Carlisle and the Secretary.
These were made in private CONVEX
sation, but it was considered expedi-
ent to warn the Senator in some way
that there should be no repetition of
that offense.

A WOMAN KILLED BY A YOUTH.
The Confession of q Missouri Murder
Which May Lead to Lynching.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. s.-Recently
Ezra Pasco, aged 18, went to the house
of Mrs. Baumiy, of Arkoe, for a pail
of water and quarreled with the
woman, who ordered him out. She
was frightened and when he had gone
locked the doors and ran upstairs with
her babe. Soon he returned, forced
an entrance and attacked her with
stove leg. She resisted desperately,
but was killed at length.
Young Pasco has confessed and is in
jail at Maryville and lynching is ap-
pretended.
Pasco was brought here to- day by
Sheriff Pixler, of Nodaway county,
and placed in jail. He is slender and
understood, but still insists that he
com mitted the murder alone. He
said he went to the Baumly home last
Friday afternoon and stood in the
door while talking to the woman. A
churn was near the door and he asked
her where she got it. She replied
tartly: "what is that to your" They
quarreied and he threw fatiron at
the woman. She pushed him through
the door and locked it. Then he broke
the window with a rock, and following
her into an upstairs room, where she
fed for safety, decided that he would
better finish the work he had begun.
The fight was desperate one, and
the woman was beaten to death with
a part of the stove she had placed
against the door to keep him out.
After killing her he went home,
changed his clothes and gave the
alarm. He said he was unable to tell
what induced him to commit the muir
der, except that after he had hit Mrs.
Baumly with rock and broken her
jaw he thought he could escape detec-
tion by killing her.
