Bland and Pacific Roads.

Richard Z. Bland drafted the follow
ing resolution which he tried to have
considered by the house one day last
week:
"Whereas, There are a number of
suits pending in the courts of the
United States TO foreclose the first
mortgage on the Union Pacific Railroad
company, that said foreclosures may
endanger the rights, equities and liens
of the government as second mortgage,
therefore be it
"Resolved, That the attorney general
be and is hereby requested to furnish
this house, as speedily as practicable,
all the information he has as to the
number of suits brought to foreclose
said mortgages, the amount of the gov
ernment's claim against said railway
company, what, if any, proceedings
have been taken to secure the govern
ment against any loss i'll this behalf.
Also as to whether the government has
been made Il party TO these foreclosure
proceedings, if so by what authority,
and state To the house whether in his
opinion the executive officers of the
government nave dulHolIty W D'i"S
suits or enter the appearance of the

behalf, or to impair the power of the
government now existing by law TO
regulate aud control said corporations
as TO rates for freight or passenger
traffic or as to the rights of the govern
ment to use said roads as n military
and postal road; also what, if any, leg

from the st. lsOillS BOSt- t-DlSpAtcn.
Never before in the history of
politics IN this or any other country
did the partisans of party just
victorious at one national election set
about the raising of n million dollar
campaign fund for another election
four years off.
Such action is practical confession
that the power of money was all that
saved the gold party last year. 1t is
entirely possible that some of the men
engaged in this barefaced enterprise
know that the country did repudiate
that party, and that money, used for
the corruption of election officers,
cheated the people of their victory.
Mark Hanna, who is prominent in the
movement, has good reason, doubtless,
to know The power of money in
forcing upon country n policy il
does not want, and which is opposed
to It's interest and prosperity.
But a game which can be played
once with success is often dangerous to
play Il second time. II such hard
times rs now prevail are to continue
until the next election, and the people
having condemned the policy respon-
sible for depression, should find them
selves counted out in the polls, a
short fat man in check suit would
suddenly lose either his nerve or some.
thing more precious To him.
Money cannot carry another election
for the republicans. Only one thing
can. The recipe is simple and easily
written: Good times.

STORY OF JESSIE JAMES.
How He Paid the Mortgage on
WidOws's Farm.

A good story of Jesse James is
going the rounds. Himself and gang
stopped one day at a farm house for
dinner They were treated very kindly
and the lady of the house prepared
them an excellent dinner.
The lady, hover, seemed in deep
trouble and occasionally shed tears.
Jesse asked her the ca1se OF her sad
ness. She told the bandit a pathetic
story of her life. She was a widow
and had a mortgage on her farm. That
very afternoon the man was coming 10
close the mortgage and take her home
from her.
The noted highwayman asked her
tue amount of the mortgage and she
told HIM 1900. Before leaving the
place he handed her 81, 800 in crisp
paper currency. The woman's graft
! tude knew no bounds and she wept
/ tears OF joy.
Sure enough, that very afternoon the
was surprised when the woman handed
him 81 800 in cash, the amount of the
claim. lie released the mortgage and
started home. On the way the James
gang, who had been laying for him,
held him up, robbed him of the 81, 800
and took what other valuablps BE had
on his person.

The first school board convention
ever held in Missouri was held at
Moberly on Friday and Saturday of
last week. Members of boards OF
education from all parts of the state
were in attendance. A permanent or
ganizatlon was formed by the election
of F. G. Ferrin, OF Moberly, as presi-
dent and C. L. V. HedrIck, of Westport,

cation, read paper entitled "Improve>

that he will never have a sick day if he
lives Il thousand years.
"Liltle Rag Doll" sung by Mr.
Harry Mountain, was one of the hits OF
the evening. lie was followed by Mr..
FRANK Geycr who sang selection in
the humorous style naturul to him.
This song was concerning the bridge
and during the rendering of it cur
tain was lowered upon which picture
of the proposed bridge was painted and
this incription, 'sWe'll build de bridge
my honey" This brought forth round
after round of applause.
Prof. Summers Gunlack sang liking
Ger Land and Sea-" Prof. Gunlack
is is one of the very best vocalists IN
the city and he was loudly encored.
a song by the company completed
the frs, part and the audience sat in
eagerncss awaiting the rising OF the
curtain.
Part second was opened by song
and dance by the eccentric four, +,
Geyer, A. Geyer, a. UT and F. Mich
olson. They are all four experts in
the minstl el line and the audience was
well pleased with their acting.
Prof. Stark played a selection on hi:
violin which was beyond comparison
with the music generally heard at al
entertainment of this kind. The piece
was played as only musician with the
standing of Prof. Stark, could render
such Il selection.
The Imperial mandolin club playeC
medley of popular and classical airs
The young men composing this clul
are, Messrs. Fred Day and Algie Smith
first mandolns, Edwin Venable, secont
mandolin and Douglass Meng, guitar
The music was rendered very beauti
fully and showed that the young mer
were all musicians of the highest type
Next came UT and Nicholson in th'
Chinese revolving ladder act. On
can hardly imagine the stcadiness o
nerves and continual practice that arr
requisite i'll the performance of thi
feat. They have praciiced on this &C
for long time and are both experts
The feat is an exceedingly hazardous
one and the young men deserve mucl
praise Their work throughout th
entire entertainment added much L
the success of the evening. In the lad
der act they eclipsed anything that ha
been presented here by professional
this season.
The performance was concluded wit
Geycr Bros. original conception, 9Th
Lnuatic Asylum. =" The character
were well represented and each on
acted his part well. Mr.. Frank Geyer
as Il worthless negro, and Mr.. Alber
Geyer, as the monkey, played thei
parts with their characteristic ability
Mr.. Bert Taubman, as superintendent
of the asylum and Mr.. McClelland, a
the tragedian played their parts lik
old hands at the business as did othe
members taking part. ''Little Willie
and s'Gyp," when they appeared Il
the asylum band, excited great merri
ment, partly on account of the contras
in the size of the two.
Everyone left the opera house highl
pleased with the entertainment and tn
managers have been requested t
repeat the performance at some tim
IN the near future.

but quite a striking feature marked the
sport.
Lucretia Borgia, meek.looking, rather
under sized daughter of imp. Brutus
and Ledette, was down on the card to go
against the coast four-mile record of
1907, held by Marigold. With eighty-tive
pounds IN the way of little Clawson IN the

feat, but at the same time lowered the

The Position of Colonel Irish Approved
by the Manufacturers.
The Manufacturers anu Producers As
sociation have taken up the matter OF the
adulterated brandy that it is feared will be
shipped to Europe il spite of the vigorous
protest of John P. Irish. 1t has been the
fight of this body to enforce the pure foods
laws locally and to prevent "doctored"
products of the State from being sent
abroad, especially with the name OF Cali
fornia attached thereunto. Tne stand of
Irish was approved, as shown by the fol-
lowing letter sent to him yesterday:
May 19, 1897.
Hon John p. Irish, United States Custom
house, Ctty-DEAR SIR: We were exceedingly
pleased 10 hear the report OF your vigorous
protest against the expectation OF the adul-
terated brandy referred TO in an article in the
San Francisco Chronicle of this date.
Your action in the matter is to US but an
other proof of the fact that California has pub
lie officials who unfinchingly oppose any en-
deavors by un scrupulous persons to 1nJure the
reputation OF her products
We hereby desire to extend to you our appre-
citation of your watchfuIness and zeal in work
ing for the interest OF the State, as well as as
sure you OF the assistance and support OF our
association in your endeavor TO protect the
public and benefit the State. We beg to re-
main yours very truly,
JAMES W. KERR. President.
Deputy Collector Tobin yesterday after
noon signed permit for the shipment OF
the stuff, but Colonel Irish refused TO give
permit on the ground that the Federal
statute does not allow blending in the
manufacturing bonded warehouse.
Thomas d. Rlordan, attorney for the
warehouse people, SAID that there was no
statute prohibiting blending and that on
Collector Wise's permit the "brandy"
would be shipped by rail to New York
and thence 10 England.

The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1897-12-16

One hundred and twenty-five pounds
of dynamite exploded from some un-
known cause near Columbia, at the
county quarry, and negro workman
named John Bryant, was blown into
numberless pieces and his body scat
tered to the four winds of the earth.
Houses we're shaken as if by an earth
quake. A man standing on the bridge
spanning Smiths branch, near the
scene of the explosion, was knocked
down, and he said the bridge bounced
up and down as if it were rubber ball.
Several people in the city heard the ex-
plosion, and some say they felt the earth
shake and windows rattle, though this
was not common experience. A curl
ous thing was that tree which stood
but feet from the box on the side Of
the engine house, was hardly injured at
all, while the tool and engine houses
were shaken from their foundations, al
most. Some Of the hands say that they
saw Bryant shortly before he went to
lock up the fuse, and that he was smok-
ing. Some time ago blasting powder
had been stored in the box, but it had
long since been used up. The only
plausible explanation Of the cause, is
that some small portion OF this powder
had been left in the box, scattered loose,
and that spark from the dead mans
pipe fell on it, causing conclusion
which produced the explosion OF the
dynamite.

Eeef Juice is Nutritious.

Physicians usually sneer at the re-
puted merits of beef tea as an article
of invalid diet, and declare that by no
ordinary method of manufacturing IT
is any particular nutriment deriveda
Beef juice is another matter, and that,
may be extracted according to th8
following directions: Have o juicy
piece of beef cut one and half inches
thick from the tender part of the
round or the rump, taking away all
the fat. Heat frying pan and rub it
lightly with bit of the fat, just e:io1gh
to keep the meat from sticking, but
leaving, Of course, no fat in the pan.
Lay the beef on the hot pan, adding q
little salt and cutting into it as it
heats. Press with knife and turn
over and over, but do not let it cook
much. Then take from the fire and.
press thoroughly in lemon squeezer.'
