To ALL MY PATRONS:
Sometime ago Icalled your attention
to the fact that I had been unfortunate
in my laundry; it was not my fault
and was occasioned by the city using
water from the we'll instead of from the
lake, as formerly taken. The water
was too hard andrusty and Twas COM
PEELED to melt ice to take it's place and
have had no complaint whatever. The
work I am now doing is satisfactory
in every respect. I paid for a large
amount of damaged laundry to satisfy
my patrons. Ifthere are still some
unpaid claims and the parties feel they
have been misused I still stand ready
to pay them. am constantly inprov-
ing my laundry and can guarantee just
as good work as can be found any
where. i. B. SCHoENHOFF.

YOUNG BRUTON DEAD.
Killed by Being Thrown From His
Horse at Ladddonia-A Very
Sad Death.

SPECIAL Dispatch to the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Mo, Aug. 31.-A sad
funeral indeed there was at the Chris
tian church in this city this afternoon
at 4 O'clock. Little Aubra Bruton, son
of A. T.. Bruton died last night as
the result of being thrown from a
horse. He had been visiting little
schoolmate, Theodore Leet, in the
country; and Monday afternoon the
two boys started to town riding the
same horse. At a certain point on
the road a chicken suddenly few
from the grass and run under the
horse, frightening the animal into a
run. The Leet boy jumped and es-
capped unhurt, but Aubra, either in
Jumping or being thrown, fell, strik-
ing his head against some hard sub.
stance, crushing the skull on the
right side of the forehead.
The efforts of four physicians were
unavailing. He was bright boy, the
pride of his parents, and his deplor-
able death has caused gloom to
come over the entire community.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Secretary
of War Alger, in an interview this
afternoon, defended his administra.
tion of his department. He places the
blame for the horrible condition oi
camps on the shoulders of the officers
in charge of these camps.
Secretary Alger says that neither
he, the Surgeon General, the Quar-.

that it is an outrage to blame him
He declares they have filed every
requisition that has been made an6

that it was made by interested per-

"We have an army of 250,00o in ths

Russell A. Alger. Failure.

While President Mckinley is given
the credit of his conduct to the war he
has made at least one serious blunder
Russell A. Alger, the politician and
business man, placed at the head oi
the war department, is q rank failure
Alger is a rich man. He had po.
litical pull. He is typical Republi.
can statesmen of the Mark Hanns
type. So Mckinley made him Secre.
tary OF War. Alger might have got
ten along swimmingly had there beer
no war. True he would have attend.
ed to army contracts and applied hii
petty politics in department affairs
But the war gave him large opportu.
mites for displaying himself as an ass
and he took every opportunity.
McKinley's war secretary has paid
political debts with war appointments
He has neglected the sick and wound.
ed soldiers. He has furnished scanty
and unsatisfactory food and equip.
ment. He has published secret com.
municaGions to the department. He
has become involved in scandalous
syndicate schemes. He has showr
himself to be exactly the man that
Grant proved him to be during the
civil war.
If Mckinley had Lincoln's nerve he
would invite Alger out of the cabinet
before the sun set.

Who the Carlists Are,


A correspondent asks what is meant
by the frequent reference to the fear
of a "Carlist uprising" in Spain. At
the death of King Ferdinand of Spain
in 1888, his 3-year-old daughter, Isa-
bella H., succeeded to the throne,
though Carlos, Ferdinand's brother,
claimed to be entitled to the honor
under the salic law, which provided
that no female should go to the throne
as long as any male descendent of the
King was living. This law, however,
had been revoked by Ferdinand, who
had no children at the time, but six
months after his death daughter was
born, and she became Queen to the
exclusion of Carlos. The latter's de-
scendants, who are called Carlists,
have since persistently insisted that,
by right of succession, the throne
belongs to them, and for over fifty
years Spain has been subjet to Car
list uprisings, which have simply
meant number of unsuccessful wars
the destruction Of property, and gen.
eral public unrest. The Carlists have
found their strength in what is called
the Basque provinces, dominated
mostly by the clergy who believe in
the divine right of Kings and kingly
succession. The inhabitants of the
Basque region are largely shepherds
and farmers. They are good fighters
and have been the main strength of the
Carlist forces. A strong sentiment in
favor of a Republic exists in the cities,
where the people have been led to
Independent views by education, read
ing and travel. 1t is unnecessary to
say that between what are called
the Republicans and the Carlists there
is strong antipathy, for their aims
are radically different. In 1873 Spain
was republic and the people owe to
that brief period of popular govern
ment many of the liberties which they
now enjoy.

NO DOUBT OF HIS SINCERITY.
How the English Papers View the
Cars Peace Proposal.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-The czar's propo-
sition for an International conference
for the purpose of securing real and
lasting peace among the powers and
termination Of the progressive in
crease in armament, has produced a
sensation throughout Europe. Com
ing from such quarter and with such
evident sincerity of purpose, it is like
to have important effects.
There is no doubt that with Russia
taking the lead in such q step, Ger
many, France and the other nations
will be ready to follow.
The London daily Graphic this
morning, referring to the proposal of
Emperor Nicholas, says: SIT would
be idle to attempt to ignore the many
and grave difficulties standing in the
way of the attainment of the czar's
wishes; but it cannot be possible to
doubt the sincerity of the magnani-
nous proposal"
The London Standard says, speak
ind editorially of the czar's proposal:
SIN England at least respect and SYM
pathy will be felt for the proposal. II
is a conception well worthy of the
young sovereign. 1t is painfully OBJ
vious that there are enormous diff
culties to be overcome which it ID
possible the czar in his ardor and hu.
name enthusiasm has not maturely
considered. 1t is q vision which has
occurred to many minds, but has al.
ways been dismissed as mere dream.
The nations are not likely to cast away
the sword unless they have a better
warrant than paper protocols and
conventions. Moreover, the moment
does not seem altogether propitious
New armed nations are arising In Asis
and America whom it might not be
easy to convince of the safety an6
desirability of abandoning the enter
prise on which they have embarked
with so much energy"
Enumerating the many obstacles tc
the attainment of the object sought
the Standard suggests that the czal
has the matter largely in his owr
hands, adding: "If Russia would
abandon her aggressive policy ir
China and elsewhere, the era of uni
versal peace would be perceptibly
nearer"

EX-GOV. STONE Is INVITED TO
ATTEND THE NEW YORK
SILVER CONVENTION.
Indications of an Exciting Time When
the Missouri Leader is Wanted
Democrats to Endorse
the Chicago Platform.

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 2s.-It became
known here to-day that Ole K. Sny-
der, Chairman of the special COM
mtitee appointed by the conference,
which met in this city yesterday, to
force an Endorsement of the Chicago
platform and the nomination of sill
yer candidate for Governor, sent a
telegram to former Gov. w. ]. Stone,
of Missouri, urging him to attend the
convention, which the silver Demo-
Gratis will hold in Syracuse on Sep. q,
the day before the assembling of the
regular Democratic Convention.
As far as can be learned, Governor
Stone, who is in New York, has not
indicated whether he will accept the
invitation or decline. Many of the
men who participated in yesterdays
conference expect that he will COM
ply with their request, although reg
ular organization Democrats assert
that the silver men will injure
their cause if they induce the Mis-
souri, leader to make such an open
attempt to coerce the regular con-
vention.
The Chicago platform Democrats
are determined to force an endorse
ment of the principles enunciated by
Colonel William J. Bryan two years
ago and to prevent the nomination of
Gold Standard Democrat for Gov
ernor. There is general belief
among the silver Democrats that Hill,
Croker, Murphy and Mclaughlin, If
allowed to consult their own wishes,
Will favor the nomination of former
Gov. Flower.
If the possibility of Mr.. Flowers
nomination by the Syracuse conven-
tion should become probability, the
silver Democrats, in addition to urg-
ing Governor Stone to address their
convention in Syracuse, will appeal
to Mr.. Bryan to write letter to be
read at their gathering, demanding a
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
and the nomination of some man for
Governor who upheld the Chicago
platform and ticket two years ago.
