The amateurs gave the best exhibition
Of riding at the recent bicycle meet at
Agricultural park. The professionals in
this country have not yet arrived at that
state where they can jockey and please
the public at the same time. In the
races last Thursday the apparent in
ability of the professional riders to meet
a time limit of 2:25 was simply absurd.
In one way the failure was due to the
management not providing pacemak

should be quick to observe this. Paul
Percival, the referee, cannot be too
highly commended for his firmness in
staying closely to the time limit, and
since it was not met, throwing the race
out. A little more such firmness will
cause riders to stop similar tricks.

trow, sister of the murderer executed
at Union, Mo-, Tuesday, who is the
guest of Christian frost at this place,
being shown the account of her
unfortunate brothers cold ride
from Washington to Union, being
unprovided with suitable clothing
says she had supplied Arthur's attor-
neys with money to buy him suitable
clothing in which to die. and she was
surprised to hear that he had died in
the clothing in which he had lived for
many months.
''If Arthur suffered with the cold
on his drive from Washington to
Union it was the fault of his attor-
neys," she says. They were supplied
by me with money TO attend to his
comforts"
This, it is claimed by many, bears
out the charge that Duestrow was ie-
hberately forced to take the cold ten
mile drive to Union without overcoat
and gloves, in order to arouse public
sympathy for his suffering and his all
legged poverty.

JEFFERSON CITY, No., Feb. 19.-There
vas a spirited debate yesterday on
Senator Anderson's bill, now in the
house, to provide an endowment fund
of $4,000, 600 in the shape of a
certificate of Indebtedness, from
which the state university would
have a regular income of $780,
OOO year. Representative Bohart, of
Clinton, made a strong speech in favor
of it, and Speaker Farris left the chair
to speak in its support. They were
followed by Representatives Rebo and
Piper. 1t is generally admitted, how
ever, that the speeches against it were
the stronger. Representative White.
cotton made a terrific onslaught
upon the bill, arguing that it was
clearly unconstitutional, since it pro-
posed to create public debt of So, 00O.-
600 without giving an equivalent. His
speech made a profound impression,
and he was aided in a masterful way
by Representatives Myers, of Bolinger,
Aydelott, Hendrickson and Tribble.
A motion to print 500 copies of the
governors message on the subject was
defeated by vote of 81 to 50.

These men of Constantinople were
not armed in the common sense of the

and the most of them had knives. But
they seldom used either; for awkward
questions might be raised if the police
were called to account for failing to
arrest armed civilians on the streets.
Carrying ax-helves, pick-ax handles,
heavy clubs like baseball bats, jagged
fragments of broken scantling; carry
ing anything that can crush the skull

the streets of all Christian quarters of
the city like an all-desolating tidal
wave, silent, but irresistible. Their
silence by day was almost as terrible
as their bowls by night. They would
be seen going along the street, when
they would meet an Armenian who
had ventured to reach his home. With
out word they would break in his
skull and go on their way entirely I'M

amt conditiona tha reve-

Under present conditions the reve-
nue. of the university, from endow-
ments, from the United States treas
ury known as the Morrill, fund0 and
from fees and rents, amounts to about
S1n2, 600 per year.
IA most admirable consequence OF
the passage of this bill will be found
in the opportunity afforded for better
caring for the other state institutions.
It must be evident without argument
that to support the university by
means of an endowment, as proposed,
must result in larger and more nearly
adequate appropriations for other
equally-deserving interests. 1t fol-
lows that an endowment directly in
the interest of the state institution
will be indirectly in the interest of all.
''Some of you may find it difficult to
reconcile the issue of what is known as
"a certificate of indebtedness" with
the provisions of the constitution for
bidding the creation of debt and
with our naturally proper aversion to
mourning debt. The issuance of the
proposed certificate is in no just sense
the creation of debt. A debt neces-
sarily implies an obligation, whose pay
ment is liable to be exacted at some
future time. The certificate, which
is to be non-negotiable and nom
transferable, is to be held by
the state perpetually in trust
for the benefit of the seminary fund.
It's payment is not contemplated either
by the state, which issues it, or by the
seminary fund, in whose favor it is is
sued. 1t is simply a written instru-
ment to be issued and held by the
state, which furnishes a legal basis
for an annual interest charge, paya BILE
out of the interest fund, instead of
the general revenue fund of the
state"
In closing he said: "In order to en-
courage the deserving young men and
women of the state in obtaining a lib
era1 education, l respectfully recon-
mend that the bill be so amended as to
provide that, after the expiration of
the present scholastic year, in June,
1897, no tuition or entrance fees be
charged in the College of Agriculture
or in the academic departments"

AN ENDOWMENT MESSAGE.


Gov. Stephens Urges the House TO Pass
the University BnI-Debate In the H0usa
on the Measure.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 19.-Gov.
Stephens sent a special message to the
house of representatives yesterday,
urging the passage of the state uni
yersity endowment bill. The governor
pointed out by reference to the audi
tors report that receipts of the state
revenue fund for 1897 and 1898 would
be 81, SOC. 600, and estimates of appro-
priations from the state revenue fund
81, $50. 907. The latter amount covers
ordinary appropriations, and the gov
ernor said other appropriations would
call for some hundreds of thousands
of dollars. The governor said these
figures confronted his administration
with probable deficit of $500, 600 for
the first two years. He then said:
''The bill now before you, / believe,
is more practicable, and 1 hope will
receive favorab BILE action at your hands.
if you find its provisions satisfactory.
1t practically follows the precedent of
the act of March so, 1891, and again
the act of the last general assembly,
whereby the university was endowed
by the issue of certificates of indebt-
edness SO called, semi-annual interest
on which was to go to the support of

Duestrow POst-MorLem Held Behind
Closed Doors.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1S.-An autopsy was
held on the body of Arthur Duestrow,
The executed murderer of wife and
child, in the embalming room of the
undertakers where it had been CAR
ried on arrival from Union. The
autopsy was performed by physi-
clans chosen entirely by counsel
for the defense in the famous case;
all others were barred, and reporters
were not admitted. At the close of
the autopsy DR.. Bauduy announced
that Duestrow had epto-mening<tis,
which, he said, meant white specka on
one of the coats of the brain.
DR.. Heine Marks, of this city, on
hearing the announcement made by
DR.. Bauduy, declared:
IF Duestrow had had lepto-menin.
gifts he would have been too sick te
walk to the gallows. He would have
been in bed. He would have had a
high fever and would have been deli.
rious. In reality, as everybody knows,
his temperature was as normal as any
ones. l don't want to find fault with
the diagnosis, but it seems to me that
the case is altogether too plain for
anv difference of opinion. The very
afix tits" signifies an infammatory
condition. If there had been any in.
fammation of the brain itself or the
brain covering, Duestrow's physical
condition would have been pitiful in
deed.
II notice that Gov. johnson did not
send any of the state experts an invi-
tation to that autopsy. He was afraid
to do so.
: "Duestrow was sane when he COM
mitted that awful murder and sane
when he died"

THE LAST NIGHT.

and child
THE LAST NIGHT.
With the coming of the dawn came
che full appreciation to the condemned
murderer that he was to die for his
crime. He had held up bravely all
during the night, but one glance at
the gallows in the dim light of the
morning robbed him of all his strength
and forced tears from the eyes that
had not felt them in three years of
terrible suffering.
He had been awake since three
o'clock. chatting with his guards,
bravely and pleasantly. The CHASTITY
tragedy that was so soon to be enacted
was kept as far from his thoughts as
possible. Apparently the shadow of
death was as far from him as it was
from any prisoner in the jail.
Toward morning he became little
restless, and Guard Krekel suggested
that the inner door be opened and he
be allowed to stretch his limbs in the
larger room outside. He accepted the
offer in a courteous spirit and stepped
out
Through the window in the east
end of the cell the first streak of dawn
was creeping. The moon was dying
,swiftIy under the fire of the rising
sun; the frosted house tops down the
road to the Burbois river were plainly
visible.
Duestrow walked calmly toward
this window aud looked out. His eye
fell on the gallows just beneath the
eurewsome cross-bar from which he
was to swing, looming high in the
growing light and glistening with the
frozen dew.
IT MADE HIM WEAKEN.

faeart. moan escaped his lips and
he burs. into tears If he had never
understood the fute lie was to meet in

Ats real character crowded in upon him
sben. lie knew that his end was near.
Subbing like child he turned from
che window. His lighted cigarette
dropped from his nerveless hand. lie
messed his fingers to his hot, sallow
face aud groaned:
II know I've got to die, he said,
with trembling lips. Several times he
repeated it, and the silent guards, all
stern believers in his moral response
hili,v for his crime, felt a wave of pity
for the unfortunate man. krekel drew
close to him and tried to comfort him
ale seemed TO rally as he heard the
swords of sympathy.
