FIRST MISSOURI BRIGADE
WILL GO TO CUBA SOON.

A special dispatch to the Rspub-

decided to send Light Battery A.
Missouri Artillery to Chickamauga.
They will proceed at once and re-
main there for further orders. It is
probable that this battery will be
sent to Cuba very soon and will be
among the first troops to invade
Spanish soil. The two regiments of
Missouri infantry first mustered in
will go to Chickamauga, and if they
complete their stock of equipments
promptly, will be sent to Cuba, per-

other officers of the regular army
who have seen the splendid showing
of Battery A and the First and Sec

there is no doubt that all three
commands stand very high in the
estimation of the secretary of war

fact that both are officered by ex

Uniuue Present to Sampson.

Washington, May 13.-Interest
was excited at the Navy Department
to-day by the receipt of registered
mail package addressed to Admiral
Sampson, which cleverly connected
the biblical incident of the devasta-
ton wrought by the Herculean
Sampson with the jawbone of an ass
and the memorable catastrophe of
that Matanzas mule which figured
in recent accounts of the destruction
of Punta Gorda battery by the flag
ship New York. The package con-
tanned bleached and highly polish
ed mules jawbone, the teeth fastened
in place by gold rivets and on a
silver plate was engraved the
inscription, Admiral Sampson, from
W. G. Gillespie and N. G. Leonard. y
On the back of tag containing the
address OF the package was the
following legend:
while this weapon may be re-
garded by you as obsolete, we trust
that victories won with it by youl
illustrious ancestor may inspire you
to still greater victories with the
additional equipments you possess.
This souvenir will be Forwarded
to Key West for delivery to the
Commander.in Chief of the navs,

Newspapers Should BE Fair

An exchange says: The lack of
fairness in the treatment of political
news and matters.-Compared with
former years, the press of to day has
made great improvement in this di-
rection. Hidebound partisan papers
wearing the collar of bossism still
exist, and they still believe IN fierce
denunciation and abuse of the other
side; but by far the greater part of
the press is disposed to be just in
this respect. Unfairness in these,
or in other matters, will injure q
paper. even with it's friends.

Pussia Takes Exceptions to Chambsrlain's
Speech. Charged Her With Perfdy,
London, May 1.-THE Russian
ambassador has been directed to
deman from Lord Salisbury, it is
reported, an explanation of Mr..
Cham Der al : assertion that Russia
is ine.igib = fJr al alliance because
of her partiiy
The egal ing opinion now is
that hr. Ctamberlain's speech, in
which ha adgoe stei an Anglo Saxon
alliance, was ii gtievous indiscretion.
1t has excited jealousies and resent
meut throughout Europe, without
promising to attain any compeusa-
tory advantage.
His indirect calling the czar "the
deYir' is sure, it is believed, to give
undying offense in st. Petersburg.
La the city of London (the inan-
cial district) to day great depression
prevailed. Rumors were flying about
that the government proposes to
offer large issue of excheque bills
to form war chest A further rise
in the bank rate was freely predicted.
MR.. CHAMBEBLAIN OBJECT.
Mr.. Chamberlain main and i'm.
mediate object is known to be to
force France to evacuate Broussa,
West Africa, even at the risk of war.
It has leaked out that in his private
talk to bankers last Thursday, Lord
Salisbury said that the West African
question is the most serious matter
the cabinet now has to deal with,
and that its satisfactory solution
seems we'll nigh impossible
This anticipatory declaration by
the prime minister gives gravity to
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech which it
otherwise might have lacked, because
of the universal suspicion that he
was playing simply his own hand.

SCHOOL CONTRACTS.

The late school law provided
that school trustees should be elect
ed In June and should assume the
duties Of the ofiice July lst. II
also provided that no contracts
with teachers should be made 1n-
I'll after July LIST. The present
law provides for the election Of
trustees In October. As there il
now no rev trustees to take his
seat In July many trustees think
the Law in regard to the hiring Of
teachers Is no longer in effect, and
that the teachers can be hired at
any time. This IL not the case.
The old law holds in this case and
no contract made before July lst il
legal. II is true that an under
standing may be reached between
trustees but 1t must not be put in
form Of contract, as the contract
would be Illegal, the trustee might
be fined and removed from EOfiice

that she was not the woman from
whom they had bought liquor.

there are two women bearing the

and that the Marshal had brought
the wrong woman. He has = war

he went to make the arrest he was
