HIGHLY HONURED.
Congressman McCleary VIII Open
the Campaign at Canton, Ohio.

The Republican national committee
has conferred upon Congressman Nc
Cleary the highest houor in it's power.
Mr.. McCleary will be under the direc-
tion Of the committee next week, and
the committee has assigned him to
open the campaign in Ohio by a
speech at Canton. Opening the cam
paign in the state of the presidential
candidate, and at his home, is an
honor second only to opening the ma
tional campaign. The national COM
mittee has chosen well, and it is evil
dent that it has decided to make the
money question the principal issue.
Mr.. McCleary will speak during the
remaining days of the. week in In
diana, Illinois and Iowa, but no as
sigaments have yet been made.
The assignments of the popular con-
gresham for the present week, in the
Second district, are the following:
Monday night at Madelia.
Iu0Sudy ulSuU dU w luuOu.
Wednesday night at Heron Lake.
Thursday afternoon at picnic and
tent meeting at Round Lake.
Thursday night at Worthington.
Friday afternoon at the county fair
at St. Peter.
Saturday night at Good Thunder.
Congressman McCleary addressed
large audience at New Ulm Satur-
day night, and reports from'uthere
show that it was prolific of great
good to the cause of sound money.
In making up for Mr.. McCleary's
absence from the district next week,
Gen. Henderson and Congressman
Dolliver, of Iowa, have been assigned
for speeches in the Second district
during the campaign. 1t is likely
that Mr.. Dolliver will give an address
in Mankato.
Mr.. McCleary was in Mankato Mon
day and expressed complete conf
dence of his reelection by large ma
jority, to FREE PRESS reporter. He
has assurances upon which reliance
can be placed that the farmers of the
district who were at first taken by the
free silver claptrap are now realizing
where their interests lie and are COM
ing over in large numbers to the side
of honest money.

TWO SCHOOL r1ASTERS.
Both s. we fo: Possession of the
Madison Lake School Monday.

The recent school election at Madi-
son Lake deI eloped into contest be-
tween the friends and opponents of
the man who has taught the school
for four or five years past, A. A.
Campbell. The latter's friends were
in the minority, sbut before sthe old
board retired it proceeded to reflect
Mr.. Campbell as teacher. The new
board claimed that the old board had
acted contrary to custom and right,
and proceeded to elect Mr.. Davies
to 'wield the birch and teach the
young idea how to Shoot" as our
great grand fathers used to say. The
old board had the advantage of
priority in the election OF a teacher,
but the new board gained a point by
having the term begin one week
earlier than usual and a week before
Mr.. Campbell's contract began.
Mr.. Davies taught unmolested all
of last week, but the attendance was
1lShUOl usual. LIS UuOTuluR
there was trouble, and the new board
sent for Sheriff Bowen. 1t was under
stood that Mr.. Campbell would at
tempt to regain possession, and two
members of the new board were on
hand to assist Mr.. Davies. Accord
ing to program, Mr.. Campbell ap-
peared at the school house, and
when he started to exercise authority
there he was forcibly elected. The
new board locked the school house and
up to four o'clock this afternoon still
had possession, but there were fears
of coming trouble expressed. A large
crowd was gathered all day at the
school house, among them being some
of Mr.. Campbell's supporters, and it
was expected that a demonstration
in his behalf would be made. Sheriff
Bowen did not remain this afternoon
as he did not see what he could do
that the town marshall could not.
A good deal of feeling exists in re-
gard to the matter in Madison Lake.

Murderers of Sheriff Rogers at
Glencoe, Mimi, Taken From
Jail and Lynched.
Guards Were OverpoWered, the
Cell Doors Forced and the
Men Secured.
Indignation at the Jury'S Yer
dict in the Case the Cause
Of the Act.

GLENCOE, Mimi, Sept. 7.-Dorman
Musgrove and Henry A. Cinqmars,
who shot and killed Sheriff Rogers
while resisting arrest less than three
months ago, were taken from the Jail
by mob shortly after midnight and
hanged to bridge across the Buffalo
river. Disappointment at what seemed
miscarriage of justice was the cause of
the mob's action.
Musgrove had been found guilty Sat-
urday by jury representing the best
manhood of the surrounding country,
and their verdict left him no hope but
to spend the remainder of his life Ii
imprisonment !; the other had secured a
change of venue, on account Of the diff
Guilty of securing jury for his trial at
the scene of his crime. Such was the
Indignation of many of the citizens at
what they believed to be the mildness
of the punishment to be meted out to
the one, when tried within the very
pale of popular indignation, that they
fancied that trial at remote point
would but too likely end in what would
seem to them a total miscarriage of
Justice.

GYPSY WOMAN MEETS DEATH.
Murdered in St. Louis by the Man
With Whom She Eloped Ten
Years Ago.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 5.-Infamed
by jealousy Andrew Werten, gypsy
horse trader, murdered his wife,
Louisa, this morning in room on the
third floor of the lodging house at 91s
North Broadway. The killing seems
to have been premeditated and was
carried out with brutal ferocity and
careful deliberation. The weapon used
was a razor, and with 1t the woman's
throat was cut In the most awful man
ner. Mrs. Werten was in the city
hospital some weeks ago. While there
she claimed she had been deserted by
her husband. He was a gypsy, she
said, and they had been married ten
years. They first met in New York
and she fell in love with him at once.
He called at her mothers house, but
was denied admittance. She met him
clandestinely and they eloped. For
years they led wandering life, stop
ping for a time at Washington and
drifting ultimately to Little Rock.
Here they separated, their two chill
dren remaining with the mother.

WEYLER'S NEW POLICY.
No More Proclamations to Be Is
sued by Him.

NEW YORK, March "A special to
the World from Havana says: The
state of public feeling in the United
States on the Cuban question and the
general indignation excited by Gem
eral Weyler's first announcement of
new plans, no doubt explains the nom
appearance of another proclamation,
which was to have been issued late in
February. General Weyler was ad-
vised from Washington that the an
nouncement of his plans had excited
much sympathy forCuba and that an
other proclamation would be likely to
hasten action by the American Con-
gress. Genera, Weyler has apparent
ly acted upon this advice, and, while
he has not deviated from the policy
he first announced, he has given up
conducting his campaign by procla-
nations.
Captain General Weyler said yes
terday: 81 have no information from
the government at Madrid upon its
views, and l will therefore not discuss
a subject of such extremely delicate
diplomatic Importance. I cannot un-
derstand the sentiments which lead
the United States Congress to do what
it has done. If recognition of bellig-
erency is formally declared, American
property will lose the legal rights oi
protection by my soldiers 1t now en-
joys. There are extensive American
interests here, and if the United States
recognizes the rebels, that relieves my
government and myself from respons.

TO VISIT OUR SCHOOLS.
A Committee of Three Prominent
State Educators We're Here To-
Day TO Visit the High
School and the Two
Colleges.

Three distinguished State educators
were in Mexico Friday to visit the
High School, and, having some time
left after their visit to this institution,
they spent short time at Hardin
College and the Military Academy.
They were President Richard II. Jesse,
of the State University at Columbia;
President W. H. Black, of the Mis-
souri, Valley College at Marshall, and
State Superintendent of Schools John
r. Kirk. The object of their visit to
this city Ia best explained In the words
of Superintendent Kirk, who said to
a reporter for the LEDGER this morn
ing:
"We are in your city especially to
visit your high school and shall also
spend a short time at the two colleges
situated here. Some time ago COM
mittee of nine educators in various
parts of the State were appointed to
visit some of the leading high schools
of the State and make report, de-
fining the difference between a high
school and college and recommend
proper courses of study for high
schools throughout the State. We
are members of this committee ap-
pointed by the State Teachers Asso-
citation to look into this matter, and
have been visiting high schools and
colleges all this week. On Monday
we visited the high school and acad-
emy in Sedalia, and spent Tuesday in
Warrensburg visiting the State Nor
NAL School. Wednesday morning we
visited the Cameron High School and
spent the afternoon In Chillicothe.
Thursday morning we spent at Macon
and the Moberly high schools were
visited. in the afternoon. We will
spend to-day in your city and to-
morrow with President Jesse at the
University.
sin our report we will endeavor to
set forth plan for closer articulation
between high schools and colleges.
We are merely gathering data for our
report and endeavoring to find out
what equipment and course of study
should designate an institution as a
college. We are not to pass on the
merit of any of the schools we visit,
but / can truthfully say that the Mex
leo High School is one of the best in
the State"

ABOUT GLASS.
Some of the Queer Uses to Which it is
Now Being Put.

There was once time when glass was
used only for window panes and mir
rors, but since then it has developed
into many different fields. By means
of a valuable toughening process, re-
Gently discovered, glass may now be
moulded into lengths and used as rail-
way sleepers.
Glass rails are also produced by this
same toughening process. 1t is, there
fore, possible to have complete glass
railway. The glass rails are turned
out in sizes and shapes similar to those
Of the ordinary steel rails. They are
far tougher and resist the action of
elements more successful than steel.
An enterprising manufacturer of
glass at Liverpool has succeeded In ad-
vertising his business in very clever
manner. He built factory of glass
bricks, and laid it with heavy glass
floor. The roof was shingled with
glass shingles; glass boxes were pro-
vided for his machinery, and, as a
fitting climax to this CLASSY perform
ance, he added a glass chimney, 1O5
feet high, built wholly of glass bricks.
This Is said to be one of the Eghtest
and most substantial factory buildings
in England. 1t is also fireproof.
One of the very latest uses for glass
is in filling teeth. This method is said
to be particularly effective with the
front teeth, where it is less consplcu-
Gus than gold, being indistinguishable
from tooth surface.

Oppose Treloar's Copyright Bill.


WAsHINaToN, D. O., March A
delegation representing the interests
of authors, photographers and pub
fishers appeared before the House
Committee on Patents to-day in op-
position to the Treloar copyright bill.
In the party were Robert Underwood
johnson, Secretary of the Authors and
Publishers League; Charles A. Bolles,
Secretary, and B. Lowenson, attorney
of the Photographers Leage; Charles
B. Bayley, of Washington, and Libra
rian Spofford, of the Congressional
Library.
Mr.. johnson presented resolutions
adopted by the Authors League and
spoke in elaboration of them. The
authors contend that the bill renders
it uncertain whether the work of a
foreigner can be copyrighted other
wise than through the assignment of
his interest to citizen of the United
States, and that its effect would be to
bring about a revocation of the copy
right relations entered into under the
act of 1891 with foreign governments.
A protest was received from the
American Publishers Copyright
League, principally against that feat
ure of the bill stipulating that musical
compositions and reproductions OF
works of art in the form Of engravings
etc., must be manufactured wholly in
the United States to be copyrighted

THE PRIMARY PLAN.
The Fairest and Most Satisfactory
Way to Nominate Candidates.
From the cIarksville mo, Sentinel

From the Clarksville MOI Sentinel
The Congressional Committee which
met at st. Charles Monday, having
decided to hold general primary in
the Ninth district to nominate can
didate for Congress, MIR. Cook and Mr..
Smith announce their withdrawal from
the race. This leaves Champ CLARK
the only candidate and his nomination
must follow as matter OF course.
That the committees action was not
in line with the past practices of the
party in this district is very true, but
that it is the best method of determin-
ing the preferences of the party and
of allowing every voter to be heard In
the nomination of a candidate is equal
ly true, while the right of the commit
tee to order a primary is as clear as
was the wish of the great body of
Democrats to have one. By this
method the district will be sure to get
the candidate whom most of the DEM
ocrats desire and the man who secures
the nomination must be the strongest
one seeking it. 1t prevents combina-
tions of weak men to defeat the strong
one and regulates the whole matter,
which it takes from county delega-
tions, to the great body of the voters
of the district. The method is even
more Democratic than the old way
and practically makes every voter a
delegate to decide between candidates
for himself. The Sentinel has advo-
Gated this manner of making nomina-
tions for many years and the men who
had no axes to grind have agreed with
the position we have taken and year
by year the suggestion has grown in
popular favor. The committee has
evidently done what it conceived to
be for the best interests of the dis
trict, and what we feel sure the peo-
pie also feel to be for the good of the
party, and the field is now open to all
comers with the chances all in favor
of the strongest man. Mr.. Clark is
willing to trust his cause in the hands
of all Democrats of the district and is
ready to cordially and earnestly sup
port the winner, if anyone should beat
him, and this is what every candidate
ought to be willing to do. What DEM
| ocrats want IS the Congressman from
this district and the man out of which
such Congressman should be made
ought to be the choice of the voters OF
the party. There is no reason of COM
planning of the committees action
and the friends of any candidate who
do 30 but confess their suspicion OF
such candidates weakness before the
people. Let the strongest man win
and then let every Democrat go to
work and redeem the district from Re-
publican control. This, we feel sure,
all the men spoken of as candidates
will do, and their efforts should be
ably and zealously supplemented by
| their friends
