an open buggy. In a lonely part of
the road he was attacked By high

buggy, struck him on the head with
slung shot. The horse became
frightened and started on a run.
throwing the assailant from the bup

Rozelle is Ready to Fight Vanderyoort.

st. Louis, Feb. 26.-There is q
war brewing between Labor Com
missioner Arthur Rozelle. of the
Missouri Reform Press association,
and ex President Paul Eandervoort
of Omaha, of the National Reform
Press association.
Yesterday Mr.. Rozelle made q
statement in regard to Mr.. Wander
voort's charges, in which he charac.
terized the latter as a willful and
malicious liar. Rozelle said: II have
been expecting challenge from
Nandervoort, but 40 far he has swal.

PRESTO, CHANGE.

The change will take place to- day.
Grover Cleveland will return to
private life and VIM Mckinley will
be inducted into the highest Office
in the gift of the people. If all re-
ports sent out from Washington
are true the ceremonies attending
the Inauguration of Mr.. Mckinley
will be the most imposing ever wit
messed in the United States. Money
has been spent lavishly, and moth,
ing neglected that human ingenuity
could devise to add to the regal
splendor of the occasion. While
some criticism will be made of this
extravagance in high official life, the
more conservative will approve the
expenditures for the occasion as ap-
propriate in seating the president
ofthe largest, wealthiest and most
prosperous country on the face of
the globe.
If the Inauguration of Mr.. Mckin.
ley will usher in that wave of pros
perity which was promised US in the
last campaign, then every American
should and will commend the wis.
dom and foresight of that party
which is responsible for his election
and give hearty support to his ad
ministration. But we warn the new
president aud his party that if the
present stringency in money matters
continue; if prices are depressed,
banks and business firms continue
to fail and the present hard times
continue to stf.ct the people, his
reign will be unhallowed and at the
end will set in deepest darkness,
while the democratic party will
again resume the management OF
the affairs of the government.

Servant Girls May Sue Free.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 90
There was 8 bill passed by the
House to day which many people
call the servant-girl bill. The meas
ure, which was championed by Mar
tin OF Barton, provides that common
laborers and servants can file suits
in the justice courts without giving
any cost bond.
Crisp of Jackson fought the bill
upon the ground that it is an act to
encourage suing and said he was
opposed to suing on general princi-
piles. Those who are opposed to the
bill say that if the bill becomes law
every dispute between housekeeper
and a servant girl Will end in the
justice shops, as the servant will be
able 10 bring suit without the slight
est expense. This argument was moi
brought up IN the debate, however.

Foley Indictments Returned.

Liberty, Mo-, March 1.-The two
which were found by
the grand jury Saturday against
Williams S. Foley were formally
presented to the court this morning.
One of them charges him with muir
der in the first degree for having
killed his mother, aud the other is a
similar one for the killing of his
sister. 1t is to be expected that he
will be arraigned Wednesday, when
his attorneys will ask for continu
ance.
Foley has been very quiet ever
since he learned that he had been
indicted. He has avoided converse
ton even with his cell-mates and
has acted as though he had at last
begun to realize the gravity of his
position. This morning he had a
talk of an hours duration with his
attorneys, but with that exception
he has not seen any one.

MAY NOT ORGANIZE THE SENATE.
Opposition May Prevent the Republicans
From Having Full Sway.

From Having Full Sway.
Washington, d c.. Feb 2S.-The
Senate turned yesterday from the
stirring theme of Cuba to the com
monplace appropriation bills, giving
the entire day to the postofice bill
There was somewhat sensational
diversion when Dubois of Idaho
made a statement, warning his form
er Republican associates that they
could not control the next Senate,
and that the silver Republicans
would never CO operate with them
while they clung to the single gold
standard. The debate on the post
office bill was mainly on the question
of investigation into the cost of car
rying the mails on the railroads
The declaration of Senator Dubois
that the Republicans could not Or
ganize the next Senate disclosed a
purpose that has been forming for a
fusion organization Of that body.
It is the intention to have the three
parties opposed to the Republicans,
the Dem ocrats, the Populists and
silver Republicans, caucus separately
and appoint representatives to con-
fer for the purpose of a fusion or
ganiz It will require the sup
port of all the factions opposed to
the Republicans to accomplish this
result, the gold Democrats as well
as the silver Democrats.
There is no purpose to organize
to prevent tariff bill from being
considered. The silver Republicans
would prefer that organization be
deferred until such tariff bill as the
Republicans want shall be brought
before the Senate and passed. It is
intimated that silver men Will facili
tate the reporting of such Il measure
as the Republicans of the committee
may agree upon. It is possible the
silver Republicans may not vote for
tariff measure, but they could re-
frain from voting and that would
pass the measure.

Talked Of His Sweetheart

Marshall, Mo, Feb. 2S.-The re
mains of Engineer Ehrit and Chas
Rymal, head brakeman, and the
injured fireman, Harry McClain,
who were killed in the Chicago &
Alton freight wreck here last even
ing. were taken to Slater Rymal's
remains were taken from the wreck
in terribly mutilated condition
about IL o'clock. While his life was
being crushed out between und IN
der heavy timbers he conversed
with conductor Raum and the ipiur
ed fireman. He realized his condi
tion and gave instructions regarding
family matters; told them to tell the
young lady at Slater who was soon
to become his wife that he loved her
and bid them all good bye. The
engine and twelve box cars were
ditched. Trains will probably be
running by morning.

Sycamore, Ill.,, Feb. 26.-In De

seems to be a mania for committing
suicide. Within three months six
have taken their own lives and four
unsuccessful attempts have been
made by others. Lack Of work
seems to be the principal cause.

4 buse for Consul Lee.

Havana, Feb 2S S-The Marquis
de Paimerola made a scandaious
personal attack on General Lee
Wednesday night in the palace in
the presence of several newspaper
correspondents The incident arose
because the censor refused to pass a
dispatch for the correspondents,
which said the release of Scott had
been demanded because he was both
arrested and kept in prison in def.
ance of the law
"Who told you that7' shouted
General Palmerola, the secretary OF
state for the island.
General Lee replied a cores
pondent, calmly.
General Lee is liar, impostor
and rebel" shouted the little Mar
quis with an oath.
This incident is telegraphed mere
ly to show how the wind is blowing
in the palace, and to let Americans
see what must be the treatment and
position of an ordinary citizen here,
when our consul general is reviled
openly in such a manner by one OF
the heads of the government here.

Waicott'S weight was given at 135
pounds and Lavigne's al 1856
These figures make remarkable show
ing. They would indicate that the men
are alike as two peas, but from even a cas-
ual glance at the TWO fighters their dissiml-
Iarity IS noticea BILE. Walcott is much more
stocky, heavier of linn ID and body, although
Lavigre is sturdy lad. The greatest dis
crepancy is in their weight. Wacott to-
day is from eight TO ten pounds heavier.
The interesting point to be taken into
consideration In the coming fight is can
Walcott Grain down to 135 pounds at 6
O'Clock on the night of the fight without
seriously injuring his vitality? Over
training is nearly as bad as no training
at all.
A good illustration of this truism is
found in studying the Burge- Lavigne
fight, which took place before the
National Sporting Club OF London on
June /, 1896, for the cha mpionship of the
world, 139 pounds, and purse of f1000
Burge was the welter champion OF Eng
land and asplred 10 middle and heavy
weight honors. While not wishing to de-
tract in the least from Lavigne's great
victory in knocking Burge out in the
seventeo nth round, there can be no ques-
tion in the mind of the writer but Burge
weakened himself greatly in entering the
ring at 13S pounds.
