NOTICE.


Schawe & Weis have issued the follow
ing circular:
LEXINGTON, Mo-, Dec. 31st. 1896.
To our Patrons and the Public:
We take this means of announcing
that on and after January 1, 1897, we
will adopt the STRICTLY CASH SYSTEM.
Careful investigation and mature DELHI
Grafton have convinced us of the wisdom Of
this generally conceded modern method
OF doing business. Buying and selling
for cash will enable us to both buy and
sell cheaper. We can do business with a
much smaller capital; we meet with no
losses; we consume no time making
charges, posting ledgers, making out
bills, collecting accounts, ETC., etc.
Where the credit sytem is in the
merchant is forced to make the paying
customer sustain the loss occasioned by
the delinquent patron. We propose to
give the trade the benefit OF the expenses
thus saved, and any person can readily
understand how we can afford to greatly
undersell competitors who do a credit
business.
We are truly grateful for past favors,
and respectfully solicit a continuance of
your patronage. Very truly,

IN the senate, on the 18th, a message from the
president, calling attention to the starving con-
dition Of Americans in Cuba on account Of Gen.

luton offered by Mr.. Gallinger, appropriating
the sum or $4,000 for their relief. The
remainder Of the session was devoted to
discussion of the Cuban situation I'm the
house Mr.. Hit offered a bill for the appro-

shot, which splashed in the water
across the vessels bows, the British
fruit steamer Ethelred passed through
the exciting ordeal u~nscathed and ar.
rived at this port last night after a
five DAYS run from Port Antonio,
Jamaica.
When the Ethelred left here May IL:
it was the intention of Capt d. HatA To-
accompany her. but he "a arreste US
he was about to step on the gang pink
to go aboard. As it was his invalid
daughter was a passenger. 1t is sup
posed that agents of the Spanish gov
eminent in this city had notified the
Spanish authorities at Havana that
Hart would be on the vessel, hence the
effort to hold up the Ethelred in Cuban,
waters.
The first encounter with the Spanish
cruiser occurred off Cape Maisi, on the,
trip down. Just after dusk on Sunday
evening, May 16, a gunboat without
any lights shot out from under the
Maisi cape and, crowding onral steam,
steered directly for the fruit vessel.
After steaming for an hour without
gaining an inch, the gunboat turned a
search light on the other vessel.
All steam was crowded on the
Ethlred, which was beginning to show
the SpanIard a clean pair of heels,
when a cloud of smoke belched from
the cruisers side, and a second later a
solid shot cut the water d half mile
ahead of her bows. Then came a sec
ond and third shot, each nearer than
the others.
Capt. Israel kept on his course and
after another hours hot chase the,
Spaniard dropped from the race.
The second chase happened last.
Thursday afternoon in almost the ex-
act spot in which the first attempt to,
hold the vessel up occurred. Just as.
the Ethelred rounded Cape Maisi big
Spanish gunboat, of the newest type,
started out from under the cape
and gave chase to the Ethelred.
For two hours the chase was kept
up, enlivened now and then by a solid
shot throwing up a sheet of. white
spray just ahead of the swift vessels
bows. 1t began to look as if the Span
lard meant to chase the Ethelred clear
to the Delaware capes, when another
steamship was sighted and the gun
boat sheered OH and gave vigorous.
chase to the newly-discovered steamer.

EcIectics Want Recognition.

The eclectic school of physicians
want recognition on an equal footing
on the state board of health with the
homeopatks. Acommittee of eclectics,
all of st. Louis, waited upon Gov.
Stephens and presented their argu-
ments in support of the views they
hold in regard to the makeup of the
board. They say that the eclectics
should have two members of the state
board, the homeopaths two and the
allopaths three. This would be a fair
apportionment and representation, they
say, and would not give any one school
control of the board.
