judgments against them, bearing q
rate OF interest too high for these
times. Some time ago Mr.. CLARK, Of
Audrsin, introduced a bill allowing
county courts, city authorities and
school district directors to fund these
bonded debts at a lower rate of inter-
est and issue new bonds to run from
to 80 years, and to do SO without the
formality Of an election 30 to do by the
people. The bill came up for final
passage Wednesday last and after an
explanation by Mr.. CLARK 1t passed
with one vote against it.
At the Omaha fair last year, which
elected wondrous admiration and
applause from all parts OF this country,
especially from the East, whose peo-
pie are reluctant to admit that there Is
anything in the "wild and woolly"
West worthy ofimitation and endorse
ment, Missouri won more gold, silver
and bronze medals as premiums than
any four or five States combined and
came home covered with glory. The
last Legislature refused to appropriate
any money to secure an exhibit OF the
states products at the Omaha Exposi-
tion. But many public spirited citizens
got up an exhibit and sent 1t to the
city and won the premiums
above referred to. In doing 80 money
was advanced and accounts created to
the total amount Of about $4,sOO. The
Committee recon-
mended that said sum be paid. The
House cut It down to about s1,076.

A MISSOURI FAMILY KILLED.
The Stepson Of the Murdered Woman
Accused Of the Crime.

DEXTER, NO., April 26.--Mrs. Jane
Tettaton, widow, and her four child
rem, two boys and two girls, ranging
In age from 8 to 12 years, were mur-
dered In their home, II miles south oi
Maiden, last night, and their bodies
partially consumed In the fire that de-
stroyed the house.
]. Fl. Tettaton, q stepson Of Mrs.
Tettaton, who had hitherto borne a
good reputation, has been arrested on
suspicion OF having committed the
crime.
Some time ago Wash Tettaton, a
man Of considerable means, died, lesv-
ing an estate, the greater part of
which was bequeathed to MRS. Jane
Tettaton, his second wife. j. Fl. Tet-
taton, bis son by his first wife, was ap-
pointed administrator. His manage
ment of the estate was not satisfactory
to Mrs. .Tettaton, and as result several
suits were brought. Yesterday, how
ever, Mrs. Tettaton agreed TO dismiss
the suitB for cash consideration Of
$500 and TO cancel claims held on lands
belonging TO the estate. J.H. Tetta-
ton went to the home of his step
mother last night to adjust matters
and that was the last seen OF the Wild
ow and her children.

THE statement of Rev. ]. W. Rob-
bins in the LEDGER to-day pretty
EHoroughly explains his position In
zlza course taken by him along the
IIaes of Mental Science. Mr. Rob-
HiHa says he is a mental healer and
nj magnetic healer, and is no less
+ Uhristian now than when he entered
zIs ministry of Christ. AS to Mrs.
HHFy Baker Eddy's theory, Rev. Rob-
bins does not agree with the founder
oE ohristian Science on her dootrinal
nnints, but on methods OF healing
there is, he thinks, scientific basis
iaaaaed on psychology--that Ii, the
snisnca of the human soul. On the
spiritual basis for Or. Robbins belief
thsE5 is, he AYERS, ample authority
iFen the Master Himself and he
thiAks there is remarkable efficacy In
nE4ser as an aid In healing the sick,
Izfne and halt. DR.. Robbins is as firm
r lha belief of the miracles OF Christ
zHz hIs Apostles as he ever was, and
aa4z be has been 3 sincere and candid
Iaeastigator of the system of science,
spoken of by him, for at least seven
yez<s, and that he hes not taken this
eaaFae without due consideration.
Eken the known character of the
azlla Dr.. Robbins will fearlessly fol-
i1w and advocate what he believes.
Ha l., however, open to conviction.
THa{ this doctrine of Christian Sol
sHees mental or magnetic healing-or
HH4zeyer il Is 70 be called-is coming
e EHa front and is . mighty bone of
esHssntion, there is no gainssyiHg the
net In the opinion of the LEDGER

AUDRAIN LADY AT K1RKsvrLLn,


Marshall Powell, who lives four
miles north OF this city, on Friday
received letter from his sister, Miss
Ida Powell, who is In Kirksville, and
who was within two blocks of the
main path Of the storm In that city.
Miss Powell describes the cyclone as
something awful and says the dead
and wounded were everywhere, and
the people were so excited they did
not realize what to do for some time
afterward. The letter was written
about fouE hours after the storm
struck and at this hour all was ex-
citement. Miss Powell is attending
the KIrksville Normal School.
AUDRAIN COUNTY CYCLONE.
The citizens of Mexico are well able
to sympathize with the people Of
KirksviIle In the death and suffering
caused by the cyclone of Thursday
night. We had one In 1895. On
Wednesday night, May 20, of that
year twirler left devastated strip
through northern Audrain. In the
cyclone lost their lives, were fa-
tally injured and 10 we're hurt. The
same evening st. Louis suffered q
terrible loss, both in life and property.
In 1891 cyclone killed three and
seriously injured one. Several houses
we're wrecked.

500 buildings at KIrksville, Nswtown
and the section between the two
towns, came from Nebraska. It en-
tered Missouri on the north at q point
In Harrison county. Then the cloud
swept almost due east over Grundy,
Sullivan, Macon and Shelby counties,
and into Marion.
In Marion county the cloud turned,
and, sweeping northward on q track
almost parallel TO the one IL had fol-
lowed on its southwest course, swept
back through Knox county into Adair
county.
Prior TO its entrance into Adair
county the cloud had passed over the
county at such an elevation that it
caused no damage. 4
According TO the dispatches so far
ct hand, the first dip of the cloud was
In its approach to KirksviIIe, where
so much destruction was wrought.
From KirksvilIe to Newtown, across
Adair and Sullivan, the storm destroy
ed everything in Its path.
Reaching Newton, near the border
OF Sullivan and Grundy counties, the
cloud shifted Its course and turned In
q northeast direction into Iowa.

town, small town Of 800 inhabitants,
in Sullivan county, forty miles north
OF this place, was struck by tornado
at Q o'clock this evening. Twenty
persons are thought to have been
killed and between thirty and forty
injured, some OF them, ii lie believed
fatally.
The entire eastern half OF the town
was destroyed. The path Of the storm
was about 500 feet wide and hardly q
dwelling In Its course escaped. Frame
houses were lifted from their founda-
tions and crushed like egg shells. The
more substantial buildings were part
ly wrecked, and half q hundred per-
sons at least are homeless tonight.
A terrific electrical storm followed
the tornado and the excitement was
intense. Women and children ran
about the streets, Bhrieking for their
parents and loved ones; and big, strong
men searched the ruins, hoping to
locate the bodies of victims. Houses
Of survivors were thrown open to
those who were rendered homeless,
and everything possible Is being done

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The satirical Poem Recitsd by Capt.
OOghlan Which Offended Germany.

From the Mississippi Valley Democrat.
The gallant Captain Coghlan, of the
Raleigh, is getting himself into all
sorts Of trouble since his return to the
States by "telling tales out of school" !"
His recitation OF the satirical poem
"Hoch Der Kaiser" at the Union
League Club banquet not only brought
him an intimation of Q .reprimand
from the Department, but has created
a ripple of merriment all over the
nation. The song was written by
member of Dewey's fleet after the
trouble with the German admiral and
sung with great eclat by the ''jackies"
in Manila Bay. The racy humor of
the poem, we are sure, will be ap-
preciated by our good -natured Ger
man fellow-c citizens, as well as the
"rest of u.s." and although it was pub
lished in these columns some months
ago, 1t will bear repetition now, while
all the world is talking and laughing
about 1t. The poem follows:
Der Kaiser Won das Faterland,
Und Gott und I all dings command;
We two, ach, don't you understand
Meinself-- Gott. q
Vile some men sing der bower divine,
Mein soldiers sing, "Die Wacht am
Rhien,''
Und drink der health In Rhenlsh wine
OF me-und Gott.
Dhere's France, she svaggers all
around;
She's ausgespielt, she's no aggound;
To much we dinks, she don't amound--
Meiuself -und Gott.
She will not dare to fight again,
But II she should I'll show her blain,
Dat Elsass (und in French) Lorraine
Are mein-by Gott.
Dhere's Grandma, dinks she's nicht
schmall bier,
Nit Beers and such she interfere;
She'll learn none owns dis hemisphere
But me-und Gott.
She dinks, good frau, some ships she's
got,
Und soldiers nit dere scarlet goat,
Achl we could knock 'em--poofl -
like dot,
Meinself- Gott.
In dimes of beacs brebare for vars,
I bear der helm and shpear of Mara,
Und care not for den dousand Czars---
Meinseli und Gott.
In fact, / humor ef'ry vhim
Nit aspect dark and visage grim
