Gov. Lon V. Stephens has been sc.

Cd Of fourteen Governors of etatel
and territories, many of the mayors
of the principal cities in the union,
and other we'll known citizens of the
United States. Hon. Levi P. Morton,
of New York, is it's chairman and Mr..
George J. Gould, of New York, its
treasurer.
"The object of this organization p
said Gov. Stephens, sis to raise q
national fund for a monument to the
martyred sailors and mariners who
met their death in the explosion which
destroyed the cruiser Maine in the
Havana harbor. This, in my view,
is q noble undertaking and should
enlist the sympathy of every true
American citizen, The demands up
on me are very great, as my official
duties require my time and attention
almost wholly, but l feel honored in
being called to participate in this
noble work, and my patriotic spirit
induces me to accept the appoint
ment and render every assistance
possible.
"Now, what will grand old Missouri
do? l have assured those in charge
of this work that she would do her
duty. Subscription books are opened
in the executives office. The nations
martyrs must be honored. Missouri,
the fifth state in the union in popula-
ton, / have often said, was first in
point of patriotism, and I hope she
will occupy the post of honor at this
time and allow no other state to con-
tribute than she. We must help
substantially to build this monument.
ALI sections Of the land are joining in
swelling the memorial fund. Our

want to show their sympathy and
patriotism a do SO nov by forward
ing to me a subscription for this fund.
Receipts will be given for any amount
over twenty-five cents. The sigma
ture of every subscriber will be placed

ment.
"a monument should be erected to
the memory of these noble boys, whose
lives went down in the black waters
of the Havana harbor, and there
should be inscribed thereon, They

The victims we're James Harmon an
aged track walker on the Lake Shore

entered at 2 O'Clock this morning by
three masked men, who tortured the
old couple in a brutal manner and
robbed them of upward of $1,000, the
savings of many years.
The robbers battered down the door
and seized Harmon in his bed and
made q demand for his money, which
was soon seconded by several heavy
blows on the face that started the
blood profusely from his nose and
mouth. Their torture could not ex-
tort the secret from him and he was
taken from the bed by one of the rob-
bers, wrapped in a blanket and beaten
and kicked until he was supposed to
be dead.
Meanwhile his pals had turnad their
attention to the old lady, whom they
choked and beat ~inhumaply. She, be-

LENITON,S LOST LOVE.
Mrs. Il. G. Leniton, Formerly of Mex.
leo, Seeking al Annulment of Her
Marriage Vows.
From tn, Moberly Star,

James McKinsie, the father of Mrs,
III. O. Leniton, nee Mamie Mckenzie,
was seer on the streets this morning
by a Star representative. He was in q
bad frame of mind, and was winding
his way to the Court House to consult
with a lawyer, lave a suit brought by
his daughter, Mamie, against her hus-
band, II. O. Leniton, formerly of Mex
leo, Mo-, and ASCERTAIN If there was no
way by which the suit could be heard
at this term of the Randolph Circuit
Court. He was like the fellow In Te :
as-he wanted it, wanted it bad and
d-n quick. b.
To the Star ha told q tale of woe, of
the abuse and cruelty heaped upon his
daughter by her husband, who had
done nothing toward supporting and
caring for his wife and little nine
months old chilli, that at last Leniton
had struck his wife from which blow
she now wears u couple of discolored
optics. This last act was what caused
the Intervention ofMrs. Leniton's faith
or, who, after giving Leniton a ours
ing, told Leniton that If ever he laid
the weight of his hand on his wife
again, he (McRinzie) would kill him.
Since Leniton struck his wife they
have actually been two, but the final
separation came Sunday. Leniton
took his household goods and sold
them to a secondhand dealer, his wife
claims, to keep from paying the rent
due On the house In which they were
living-No. AT Jefferson avenue.
II. @. Leniton and Miss Mamie Nc
Kinzie were married by Squire Free
man over two years ago. Leniton is
a sewing machine agent, but his wife
claims never did provide and care for
her as he should. When about ten
months ago q child came to brighten
their home Mrs. Leniton hoped for
times, bit matters continued to
grow worse; Lt,niton spending all his
money for drink and worse until at
last the separation came, and a snit
for divorce Ia now to be brought. OF
this srdt cannot be heard at

Banks Consolidate.

According to parties who were
down from Sturgeon to-day, a deal
was made between the directors of
the Farmers and Merchants Bank
and Ritchie's Bank, both of Sturgeon,
by which the two banks consolidate.
Both banks are on a good, sound basis,
but there being three banks in Stur-
geon, the business hardly warrants
the operation of three banking sys-
TENS. The new business will make a
very substantial institution.
