PARIS is soRELY TRIED.
The Town is Having a Terrible Time
With Small Pox, But is Not Cast
Down in the Least.
From the Paris Appeal.

From the Paris Appeal.
Paris Is again placed in, an .embar-
RAISING position by another outbreak
of small pox among her negro popu-
lation. The town is soreIy tried but
not cast down. No time and no ex-
pense will be spared to conane the
disease to its present quarters and no
attempt will be made to deceive any
body as to the true situation. To the
vigilance OF the authorities and the
heavy outlay Of time and money By
the people OF the town during the past
ten weeks, the county as well as the
town owes protection from the dis
ease. 1t has been calamity to Paris,
but our people have faced IL bravely
and fought II resolutely without out
side aid. The Appeas feels that the
town is entitled to the good will Of the
whole country at this time and we be-
lieve that the town will receive 1t. We
do not ask for pity. 1--WE ask only for
Justice. We ask that our readers turn
deaf ear to wild and untruthful re-
ports and that they discourage any
attempt that may be made to use our
present misfortune to create any ILL
feeling against the town. When you
want to know the true situation teIe-
phone to some reputable citizen
whose word is as good as his bond.
There are scores of men In Paris who
would not suppress nor misrepresent
the true situation for the sake Of a
few paltry dollars. Paris has spent
thousands Of dollars and lost thous-
ands more In trade In fighting the
disease and the country as well rs the
town has been protected. Paris is
entitled to some consideration ana tine
appeal believes she win receive u.

PALMYRA, Mo-, Nov. A,-Dr. W. J

with the remains of their daughter
Mrs. i. Mae Marshall, who committed
suicide under such pathetic circum.

Excitement ran high here, and nu'

made as to Wishart's whereabouts. II

He seemed to be laboring under 8
severe mental strain, and told the
proprietor of the restaurant that he
had done something he regretted, but
that it was then too late to remedy
it.
About six O'Clock Wishart was told
of the receipt of the telegram telling
of Mrs. Marshall's death and, while
expressing no surprise, seemed great

his appearance at the junction for the
purpose of checking his baggage
preparatory to leaving the city.

Wishart is 30 years of age, about |

The New Jersey silk manufacturer had facili-
ties for seeing what his competitors in France
and Japan were producing, and the makers OF
prints in New England had before them the
goods which European print makers turn out for
the Cuban Australian and South American mar
kets Through this system thousands OF mer-
chants ana manufacturers in the United states
have become acquainted with the manufactured
articles of Europe and the requirements of other
countries without being forced to expend time
and money for travel and investigation. The
exposition will be the same system on an en-
larged beautihed and attractive scale.
DR.. William =. Wilson, the director general,
who was the prime mover in the undertaking,
said Of the exhibition OF American manufactured
products. which will be the most attractive
feature OF the exposition:
1T is the design OF the exposition manage
ment to the display of every line OF
American manufactured products which is In
demand abroad or for which a foreign market
can be created. In this main department. which
will demonstrate the ability of American manu-
facturers TO supply the world with every article
needed, the greatest care is being taken to secure
only the best products there being no idea OF
any local competition. This department will be
thoroughly AMI Systematically classified. and
everything which by study OF the requirements
Of foreign peoples, may be made known TO and
popular with them.
"In order that there may be put before the
world the triumph of American manufacturers
in the mechanic arts, the exhibit OF machinery
will be a comprehensive and interesting feature.
The most improved machinery, implements,
tools and labor-saving devices will be placed
view. As far as practicable these will be operat-
ing exhibits thus facilitating a more rapid and
thorough understanding and appreciation Of
their uses and advantages"
The exposition is the direct outgrowth OF the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum. which has
been a continuous exposition since the close OF
the Columbian Exhibition. where had its
origin. the complete raw material exhibits now
in the museum having been secured from the
