Farmer Sheds His Skin.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dee. 80. S.
Buskirk, farm hand, As years old,
was sent TO the poor farm to-day.
Buskirk is suffering from strange
disease, which the physicians have
had little or no experience with in
the past.
Four times during the past year
Buskirk has shed his skin, and now
he has throat trouble from which he
may not recover He has been EN-
ployed during the past three years
on the farm of Isaac Miller, near this
city Miller went before the court to-
day and asked to have him sent to
the poor farm.
For many years Buskirk has been
shedding his skin once year, but
this year it came off four times. 1t
slipped off his hands like a glove,
leaving the flesh underneath as pink
as that OF baby. For several days
after he sheds his skin Buskirk is un-
able to work on account of his hands
and feet being tender, but when that
difficulty has been overcome he APP
pears to be all right.
MDoctOrs who examined Busklrk
said they had never seen anything
like his case.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 15.-Fire at the
penitentiary this afternoon consum-
ed the manufacturer building and
caused loss to the building and
contents amounting to between S15,-
600 and 100000. The principal
part of the loss falls upon the state,
which owned the building and the
machine shops, which were together
valued at $50, 900 and were unin-
sured.
Aside from the state the principal
loser is the Lee Broom and Duster

D'ARMOND's VIEWS.

D'ARMoND's VIEWS.
Representative DeArmond. of Mis-
souri,: Il should say that the leading
issue in the next campaign will be the
money question, Imperialism and
trusts. As to their relative import
ance, it is my belief that no one can
at this time say definitely how they
will find arrangement i'll the public
mind. | think it is quite probab BILE
that in some minds and some quarters
one issue will be deemed more import
ant, while elsewhere another may
have the first place. Then. too, the
events of the intervening months
may tend somewhat TO magnify or to
minimise one issue as compared with
another. In my Judgment special
emphasis will be given TO the money
question by the passage of such mat
tiers as are now pending and under
discussion in the House
ITO make fnll legal tender silver
dollars redeemable in gold. TO au-
| thorize limitless bond. moneyed OBJ
legation, public or private, payable
in gold alone, to create a gigantic
national bank trust, to give many
millions of dollars to creditors, public
and private, to withdraw the green
backs from the channels of trade. to
give to the national banker "A com
plete monopoly of the issue of paper
money-this must challenge public
attention
Trusts are entering every branch
of trade, to crush out the weak and
bind together the strong. The people
will be interested i'll what shall be
said and done concerning them.
Imperialism can not masquerade
through a stirring campaign in the
garments of expansion. The Re
publicans must defend their financial
legislation They have made. them
selves the champions of Imperialism
and the trusts know them for friends
The democrats will meet them upon
every part OF the field and oppose
stoutlv what, as | have indicated, the
Republicans will support. defend or
apologize for. welcome the conflict
ane fear not the Judgment of the
people.
