Let every citizen be loyal to the
home town. Always have Il good
word to say for it to strangers and
friends: never let your personal
feeling, jealousies or prejudices
creep in or allow you to say one
word against your neighbor. You
are not only doing him and yonr
own town an injustice, but you hurt
yourself more than your enemy.
Any man conyersant with the world
will notice the venom in the talk of
the man who has bad word for
his business opponent and the re-
suit is nearly certain to be that of
Il boomerang. The better you
speak of his business ability. the
more you praise his shrewdness
and the louder you sing his praise
and popularity, the more surely
arc you to reap the reward of be-
ing considered generous and pub
lie spirited.-Ex.

Now that Aguinaldo has com
menced rumpus with this coun-
try he will find that fighting
Americans is much different from
fighting Spaniards. The former
never offer an enemy money to
quit fighting. The Filipino leader
must be taught a severe lesson for
his freshness. 1t is almost Il GER
tainty that the attack was precipi-
tated upon the American troops at
this moment to influence the United
States Senate against the ratitica-
ton of the peace treaty and conse-
quent extention of American
authority over the Philippine ar
chipelago, but Aguinaldo will soon
find that he has reckoned without
his host. Whatever may have
been the sentiment of the American
people heretofore Oh the question
of retaining the islands, the good.
red blood of our soldiers, spilled
by the wanton attack of last Satur-
day, has baptised the Philippine
islands United States territory, and
the sentiment of our people has
now become q fixed resolution on
this point. The opponents of the
peace treaty are in measure res
ponsible for the opening of hostili.
ties at Manila. Had the peace
treaty been promptly ratified
AguinaIda would not have had the
boldness to defy the American
nation.

A Picturesque Crusade.

Many of tie sterner sex will CO.

Clubs of The Foul teeath District of

portion Of tic figure Of woman for

ner," is rcprehensihlc. Indeed. it
is not proper to use the kind of pic
lures mentioned for other purposes
if the subject be looked at from
the point of view of the ohjecting
women's clubs.
| But, in voicing their Indignation
against putting the charms of the
sex to such base commercial uses,
the fair ohjcctors confine them
selves entirely on the theory that
these pictures are employed to at
tract the eyes of men to articles Of
merchandise which the advertiser
desires to sell. This inference is
hardly borne out by the facts.
| While cigarettes, tobacco and
dreadful to relate-even malt and
splrituous liquors are doomed by
placing the face or figure of hand

certificates of genuineness and

WHEN the Democratic press of
Missouri is compelled to cry out
against the looting Of the state

turn the rascals out of power.

have no one has fathomed; six
sweepers, and three slattooa clean
ers; and lastly six committee room
attendants, who certainly could
not have earned their salaries when
the runlored scandal in commit
tee room is alleged to have occur
red.
The Senate Committee on Cleri-
cal Force this year showed no
such humility as was shown by the
same committee ten years ago, in
offering its report. Then the com
nittec reported timidfy, apologies
ing for seeming to be extravagant
in exceeding drecedcnt in the num-
Der Of clerks.
Like the House, too, the Senate
has not escaped the charge Of nepot-
ism. One senator has son on the en-
rolling force, another has a relative
by marriage on the same force.
Two other Senators appointed their
brothers as clerks. Three Senators
have sons for revision clerks, an
other Il daughter, another ha, ap-
pointed his wife. This makes Il
total of nine Senators who have ap-
pointed their relatives on the force.
There are seven women on the Sen
ate force.
Supplementary to the comparison
of the clerical forces of the Houses
of 1879, 1sS? and 1899, all revising
sessions, Representative John Or
gan, of Dent County, who was
Il member of the House in 1879.
adds some interesting facts regard
ing the size Of the force at that
time.
1t was impossible to find the rec
ord of the cngrossing and enrolling
forces of that year, and Mr.. Organ
was asked about it. He said there
were no engrosslng OF enrolling
forces, until there was work for
them to do. In this day they are
appointed and draw pay from the
first day of the session, although
their work has Just begun. In
1879, according to Mr.. Organ,
when there was cngrossment and
enrolment of bills to be done, the
committee having charge of the cler-
ical force recommended six clerks
FOR each force. This recommenda-
ton was adopted, but subsequent,
Iy the House became panic strick-
en- over its extravaganza and cut
down the forces considerably. In
this session there are IS engrossirg
clerks and 80 enrolling clerks.
Mr.. Organ has been somewhat
amused at the talk in the present
House about economy, knowing as
we'll as he does the idea of economy
that prevailed 90 years ago.
In addition to the 224 House
clerks enumerated yesterday there
are 35 committee clerks and sever
al yet to be appointed. Three
chairmen of committees have ap-
pointed their sons or daughters to
be the clerks of their committees.
1t is said that one of these, Il young
man, has not been in Jefferson
City since the session opened.

A MOB W0RSTED.
The Attempt to Capture Oscar Flem
ing, in Princess Anne County, Va,
Results in BloodShed.

NORFOLK, Va, November @..-Reports
have reached here from Princess Anne
county that a mob attacked the home of
Magistrate Oscar Fleming early this
morning. Fleming defended his home and
killed one of the party and wounded sew
eral others No details of the affair have
been received. A few days ago FleminSs
shot and killed a lad named Clarence
Snyder, who was hunting on the formers
farm. Feeling has been high in the neigh
borhood, and advices from Kempville last
night stated that a mob was forming. 1t
is believed that Fleming will be lynched.
Two friends were in the house watching
with Fleming for the expected visit. After
the leader fell the mob retired. Fleming,
as soon as he saw his premises clear, went
to a neighbor and reported that he had
killed one of the intruders. The man was
lying on the porch, his arms folded over
a gun on his breast No one identified the
body. A coroner's jury was summoned
and is now in session The house of
Fleming bears many bullet marks. Public
opinion, while severely condemning Flem-
ing for Thursdays deeds, upholds him in
defending his home.

WIN DOW GLASS MEN
Held a Largely Attended Meeting in
New York, Yesterday---An Organi-
cation Not Yet Formed.

NEW YORK, November 20.-A meet
ing of the window glass jobbers of the
United States was held to-day at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. About one hun
bred persons were present, including
representatives of the American Win
dow Glass Company. The main hope Of
the convention is the organization of
the members into society to protect
Them against the encroachnents on
their business by the Independent win
dow glass manufacturers. The move
ment is the outcome of conference
held on November 9th in Pittsburg, at
which five eastern and five western job
bers were represented. One of the DEL
egates said to-day that the American
Window Glass Company controlled al
most the whole output of the factories
until about year ago. All of 1T was
handled by jobbers. Since that time
many independent companies had en-
tered the field and secured large por-
tons of the business by selling their
product to retailers and large consumers
direct, thus eliminating iobbers.
The meeting was presided over by T.
w. Morris, Of this city. Among the
prominent jobbers present were C. w.
Kennedy, of Chicago, and C. w. Brown,
of Pittsburg.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors. At its close the secretary an
nounced that an organization had not
yet been perfected, but that one would
very probably be formed when the con-
ferees meet again at one o'clock to-
morrow afternoon in the same place.
He said the ground had been thorough
ly explored and nearly every feature of
the situation analysed, and the gentle
men present were practically unani-
nous in the opinion that only thorough
organization will protect the large job
bling interests now imperilled.

NEW YORK, November 20.-The pa

Taylor suffering from bubonic plague
are improving. DR.. l. Hommedieu said
to-day, after a visit to the patients:
THE patients are doing as well as
can be expected, and have every rea-
son to believe that all danger of infec-
ton from those patients is past. say
this because the cultures made by DR..
Fitzpatrick show a negative result. No
trace of the germ of bubonic plague
was found. This indicated that the dis
ease had run its course and that the
germs do not exist in the patients. We
have at our laboratory an ample supply
of bubonic plague serum, but it was
not necessary to use it in these cases,
as the patients were conyalescing when
they arrived"

absence of sufficient evidence on which
to hold him, Robert ]. Knox, one of the
alleged gang Of Whiteman swindlers,
was discharged. No requisition papers
having arrived from Pittsburg, coun-
sci for the accused claimed that it was
incompatible with the law to further

ingly discharged. He was Immediately
rearested by two detectives and a
fierce struggle ensued. He was finally
subdued with the assistance Of police
man of the court squad and taken to

by Governor Bradley's soldiers, and

law plainly provides for secret ballot,
and the Republicans admit that they
are not as well fortified in the defense
of their interests in the Johnson and
Knox county cases as might be, but do
not credit TO any extent the Democratic
claim regarding Louisville. In fact,
they assert that, should Louisville be
thrown out on the pretext claimed, that

nounce they win not take an appeal
from the decision Of Judge Jones at
Glasgow. where 1913 majority of Mel
son county votes. enormously certified
for w. P. Taylor were ordered counted

communication with Governor Bradley,
though he did not visit the executive

THE MANY CRIMES
OF Mrs. Henrietta Bamberger. of st.
Louis, Recognized by the Grand
Jury--The Indictments Found.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 20.-The
grand jury to-day returned true bills
against Mrs. Henrietta Bamberger, the
mid wife, who was arrested last week,
as follows:
Murder in the first degree-An I'M
named infant, died in May, 1895. Death
on three counts covering death by
drowning, burning and death by an I'M
known way.
Manslaughter in the first degree
Mary lHoltcamp, died February 10,
1896.
Ida Zimmerman, died March 8, 1896.
Lydia Bressert, died September 10,
1897.
Wilhelmina Spoeri, died July l, 1898.
All ares said to have died as the re-
suit of operations and poisons.
Circuit Attorney Eggers stated to-
day that he had received information
charging MIS-. bdIuDeTSeT Win TeSpOn-
siDility for the death of a young wo-
man whose case is not included in this
list. He declared that he was also in
possession of information about other
missing persons, which he will investi-
gate.
Mrs. Bamberger, the accused, de-
clares that the nurses have combined
against her and that their testimony is
all false
