James Quigley, for forty years a
leading spirit in Irish national affairs,
a member of the Executive Committee
Of the Fenian Revolutionary move
ment, one of the chief organizers of the
Irish uprising in 1865, the man who
planned the capture of Chester Castle,
near Liverpool, the leader of the Man
chester rescue on Novmber IL, 1867,
and the friend and contemporary of
Patrick Egan, died in ST. Louis April
10Th.
Few Irishmen in st. Louis knew
that the famous patriot and revolution
ist was in this city, says the st. Louis
Republic. He came here from New
Bedford, Mass. and had scarcely set
tied down quietly in his home at No
2613 Palm street. with his wife and
four children when he was attacked by
acute uraemia. DR.. Thomas O'Reilly,
one of his lifelong friends, was called
in TO attend him. but all efforts to
save Mr.. Quigley were unavailing, and
he died after five days sickness. In
his last hours he was surrounded by
his wife and children. Father Con-
molly, of st. Teresa's Catholic church,
administered the last sacraments to
the dying man, and members of the
local Society of Irish Nationalist min
istered to his wants and offered sym
pathy and consolation to his family.
The funeral, which took place yes
terday afternoon. was conducted at
the house by the Odd Fellows, of
which order James Quigley was a mem
Der in high standing. The following

mittee of the l. o. o. F. officiated as

|. sentence. Pierce Nagle, the spy, was
the witness used by the government
to identify each of the revolutionists
He had no trouble in recognizing all
OF them, but when James Quigley was
led before him. he was astonished to
ind that there were, to all intents and
purposes, two James Quigleys. There
was no doubt in his mind that one
was the real Fenian revolutionist and
desperate Irishman, but for the life of
him he could not tell which. Quigley
had at that time but few acquaintance
in Dublin and oddly enough not one of
twenty-five of his men and the two
rescued prisoners, made good their
escape, and to this day the British gov
ernmento has no accurate knowledge
OF the names of the other men who
made up the desperate sortie. The four
men captured were Allen, Larkin,
O'Brien and O'MaAer Condor. The
latter was saved from the gallows by
the intervention of the United States,
because he was citizen of this coun-
try; but his three unfortunate COM
panions became shortly afterward
'The Manchester Martyrs" of whom
every Irishman is reverently proud.
They were hanged ostensibly for the
murder of Sergeant Brett, but although
it was well known that neither of the
three fired shot during the melee.
the real slayer of Bratt was never dis
covered. A resident of ST. Louis, who
was a friend of Mr.. Quigley. and who
served in the same cause, said yester-
day that the man who actually killed
Bratt was Milly. Melville, reckless but
heroic Fenian, who died in New York
i've years ago.
CHESTER ARSENAL PLOT.
Another daring undertaking in
which James Quigley was the leading
spirit, was the attempt by the Irish
revolutionists to loot the English
arsenal at Chester, near Liverpool,
carry off the arms stored there and
ship them away upon vessels waiting
at the Liverpool dock ready to carry
them to the forces which waited in Ire
land for the weapons, with which they
hoped to strike decisive blow for lib
erty. With this end in view prize
fight between two noted pugilists was
advertised to take place in Chester.
Multitudes of people assembled there,
the attention of the authorities would
be withdrawn from the arsenal and
10000 Fenians, whose presence would
not be noticed in the tnrong, were to
be present to aid in plundering the ar
senal, loading the arms and ammuni-
ton on the cars and taking them to
>the waiting ships. 1t was an astonish-
ing plot, even for the desperate Irish
men, but every detail was perfected as
far as the revolutionists were con-
cerned.

What Would You Give

To be cured of catarrh? If you OF
your friends have this disease, you
know how disagreeable it is. Its
symptoms are inflamed eyes, throb.
bing temples, ringing noises in the
ears, headaches, capricious appetite,
and constant discharge of mucus.
Fortunately it's cure is not a question
of what you will give. but what you
will take. If you will take Hoods
Sarsaparilla, the great constitu-
tional remedy, which thoroughly
purifies, enriches and vitalizes the
blood, you may expect to be com
pletely and permanently cured. The
good blood which Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla makes, reaching the delicate
passages of the mucous membrane,
soothes and rebuilds the tissues and
ultimately cures all symptoms of
catarrh.

is not expected that work on the new
building will commence until spring.
Presumably, it will be constructed for
the accommodation of from 300 to
400 patients, and on such plans that
wings can be built at nominal cost
when the number of patiens demand
it. This has been the policy of the
state with regard to other asylums.
One of the objects urged in lochting
an asylum in Southeast Missouri was
to save the enormous cost of trans
porting insane persons from that sec
tion of the state. Another reason
for the new asylum is that the others
are crowded. Between enappropriating
money to build additions to the asy-
lums already existing and building a
new one in the southeast, the law
makers chose the latter course.

MATT KING JAILED.
He Shot His Brother, Albert, on PRYOR
Greek MO1day.


Matt King, Who shot his brother
Albert, with a double barrel shotgun
at his home on Pryor creek last Mon
day, was jailed at Nevada Friday by
Constable Lyons. of Henry township,
Vernon county.
Further particulars of the affair
are learned through visit TO King
by Nevada Post reporter.
King is an average sized man of
sandy complexion, but keen black
eyes, and appears to be about 40
years of age
Il do not object to making a state
ment, said he to a reporter, ''but l
would like TO talk to an attorney
first.
my brother and | have not been
friends for three years or more. We
were raised in Bates county l NOV
ed to my present place and abode
with my family about two years ago.
When l got in from work Monday af-
ternoon late, L found my brother
there with a companion and wagon
and team. He said he was going to
camp there. But told him he could
not do So"
Mr.. King then dilated at length on
the shooting that followed soon af-
terward.
His brother stopped in the lane not
far from the house and King went
with his shotgun loaded with No. 8
shot. He says he made two trips,
the first time shooting his brother 5
dog by accident, when two shots
were fired by his brother and his COM
panion at him. He then retreated to
his house and reloaded his gun and
made another trip to the wagon. this
time walking in his own field There
he met his brother, who he SAYS was
crouching with his gun and coming
toward him when he fired twice He
then went home and ate his supper,
his brother being cared for by neigh
bors attracted by the shooting.
At last accounts the wounded man
was in precarious condition, little
hope for his recovery being enter
tanned.

NEW INSANE ASYLUM
LOCATED AT FARMINGTON
In the Southeast Missouri Min
eraI Belt.
Work on the Building Will be Com.
menced Next Spring. The
Situation.

Situation.
st. Louis Republic, 18th.
The long contest over the location
of the new asylum in southeast Mis-
souri, ended yesterday, and Farming
ton won the prize. The commissioners
held a meeting at the Laclede Hotel,
and it seems that between Farming
ton, Fredericktown and Arcadia Val
ley, all the other contesting cities
having been eliminated at meeting
last week, the former city won with
ease.
The bill requires that the asylum
must be located on tract of land not
less than 800 acres, either purchased
or donated for that purpose. Farm
ington's offer was 326 acres of land
for something over 500, 900 and a cash
bonus of $4,000. In other words,
the site will cost the state little less
than $14, 900. The legislature ap-
propriated $3.50, 900 for the institu-
tion.
Originally the commissioners visit
ed and inspected all the cities seeking
the asylum and then submitted a bill
of particulars as to what they would
require. Ste. Genevieve, Pennington,
Dexter, Bismark, Poplar Bluff, Fred
ericktown, De Soto and Arcadia Val
ley all put in bids, but presently Pop
lar Bluff withdrew. Then the COM
missioners, after spending two days in
examining the various propositions
narrowed the contest down to three
towns and went back to personally
inspect those towns again.
There was another big gathering
from Southeast Missouri in the La
clede yesterday, when the commits
siOners assembled in their room Ev-
erybody understood that the matter
would be definitely settled, and there
was much guessing as to the result,
as the anxious ones tried to amuse
themselves while the hours slipped
away. Those who had no immediate
concern said all along that Farming
ton would win.
The site selected is about midway
between Pennington and De Lassus,
the two towns being but little over
two miles apart. Two hundred acres
of the land is in cultivation and 100
is heavily timbered. The farm is in
the great mineral belt, and possibly
the state may some day be interested
directly in southeast Missouri min
ing boom. The location is said to be
quite healthy and easily reached by
rail from two roads.
State Senator Hohenscheild, who is
the architect for the new asylum, said
he would have the plans ready to
submit about the first of the year. 1t

Washington. d. c., Nov. 1.-THE
action of the democratic members OF
congress from New York in declaring
their preference for Representative
Sulzer for minority leader will mate
rally help Mr.. DeArmond. 1t is pal
pably the intention to attempt, with
nucleus of thirty-one votes from
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania to control the democratic eau
Gus that western members will prob
ably come solidly to the support OF
Mr.. DeArmond
No material change in predictions
as to caucus figures has been made
since members began arriving in
numbers
Representatives, Benton, Lloyd and
Clark, who have been keeping track
of incoming democrats, are encour-
aged at the prospects OF Judge De-
Arment. They are convinced beyond
cavil that the fight, even at this june
ture, is one between Richardson of
Tennessee and the MissOurian, and
they believe that the latter will get
most of the strength now claimed by
Bankhead of Alabama, while Rich
ardson is apt to be taken up and
pushed forward by Tammany.
Representative Champ Clark said
tonight: ''As to the democratic lead
ership, only one thing is certain, and
that is the man who receives SO
votes is a winner; he may win with
less. Originally 172 anti-republicans
were elected to the seth congress.
The places of Settle of Kentucky and
Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania, are
vacant, leaving 10. One of these is
a silverite, three orfour populists and
two or three fusionists. These may
or may not attend the democratic
caucus.
While | would not disparage the
claim of any candidate or any state,
cast suspicion upon the fealty of any
candidate, it is nevertheless true that
in the public mind Missouri is more
intimately associated with the Chi
cago platform and the restoration of
silver than is any other state, and
for that reason DeArmond should be
chosen.
1t would be splendid tribute to
the memory of Dick Bland to nomi-
nate a Missouri democrat of his way
of thinking.
With a Missourian for leader the
world would not have to be told that
the party is still for the silver issue.
A fierce struggle has suddenly de
veloped among cities competing for
the republican national convention.
Philadelphia to-day engaged accom-
for committee of 200
persons, who will be here December
IA, TO insist upon the national COM
mittee selecting Philadelphia for the
city. Kentucky republi-
cans are clamoring for the conven-
ton to be held at Louisville. They |
insist that it would certainly secure
the electoral vote of Kentucky for
Mckinley and would aid to break the |

be held there. 1t asks for either the

INTER ESTING EXPERIMENT

IF the man who makes blade or
grass grow where none grew before IS
a benefactor, perhaps the man VINO
makes a turnip or a squash grow DIG
ger than it naturally would is also
benefactor. Anyhow some experiments
which have been made by Professor
Selim Lemstrom of the department OF
physics of the University Of Helsing-
fors Finland, are decidedly interesting.
He has been testing the influence of
electricity on growing vegetables and
plants, and states that as result of
the action of the electricity an average
increase of forty per cent in the yi7ld
was obtained. The experiments were
made by carrying wires terminating in
sharp points about the field. The wires
were connected with one pole of an elec-
trical machine, while the other was in
contact with the earth. The electricity
was found to accelerate the ripening of
fruits, berries, and roots and also
tended TO develop sugar. The more Ter
tile the soil and the more vigorous the
vegetation, the more will the effect of
the electrical current increase, is stated
as a law deduced from results obtained
with plants under exactly similar con-
ditions, except in one case the electrical
treatment was used, while in the other
only the natural conditions were called
into play. The electricity under ordi-
nary circumstances was given during
three or four hours in the morning, and
during a like period in the afternoon,
