JUDICIARY COMMITTEES.

The Judiciary committe acted favor
ably on the bill to perm, towns. cities
and counties TO hold local option cleo
tons in any month in the ynar, 50 they
do not fall within ninety days Of Il
general election
The bil. to repeal the usury laws
of 1880 was acted on mfayora5ly.
The bill to compel the commissioners
of Madison county to levy Il special
tax for the payment NJ its bonds was
acted on unfavorably after further argu-
ment from counsel. 1t is understood
that a bill meeting the wishes OF The
cmomitte will be drawn placing the
bonds on the same basis as other coun-
ty claims
Senator Murray appeared before the
committee against the bill. He took the
ground that the Legislature should take
no action in the matter because ii was
one that can he settled by the county
and its creditors. He said that for
two years a Republican board of COM
missioners had paid the interest on the
bonds. For four years while he was
on the board the interest had been
paid. Since that time the taxes had
been collected. but the interest not paid
in full He thought the remedy lay in
mandamus to compel the treasurer to
pay the interest With the citizens of
Madison county it was n feud and they
should he allowed to settle it among
themselves. lie said that Senator
Pritchard had secured the passage Of
the act and the issue of the bonds and
now he declines to take any stand or

YOUR MISSION.

If you cannot on the ocean
 Sail among the swiftest fleet, Rocking on the highest pillows, Laughing at the storms you meet; You can stand among the sailors, Anchored yet within the bay; You can lend a hand to help them, As they launch their boats away. If you are tco weak to journey
 Up the mountains, steep and high, You can stand within the valley While the multitude go by. You can chant in happy measure As they slowly pass along; Though they forget the singer, - They will not forget the song. If you have not geld and silver Ever ready to command; If you cannot toward the needy Reach an eVer-Opan hand, You can visit the afflicted
 Der the erring you can w5ep; You can be a true disciple,
 Sitting at the Saviour's feet. If you cannot in the harvest
 Garner up the richest sheave, Many grain both ripe and golden Will the careless reapers leave. Go and glean among the brier5 Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that their shadows Hide the heaviest wheat of all. If you cannot in the conflict
 Prove yourself a soldier true; If where fire and smoke are thickest There's work for you to do; When the battlefield is silent
 You can go with careful tread; You can bear away the wounded; You can cover up the dead. Do net, then, stand idly waiting Fer some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess;
 She will never come 10 you. Go and tCil in any vineyard;
 Do not fear to do or dara. If you want a field of labor,
 You can find it anywhere.

He missed his aim and fell, his body striking Hughes, nearly throwing both men to the street. The way Hughes had his l5g twisted around the rungs in the fire escape saved them however. Hughes started the boy down the ladder and then as sisted the Ocher children acIoss the coping and on 10 the ladder.

 May Thomas and Himself.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Jan. May Thom- as, a young school teacher, was mur- dered by Harry Garvey of GOwr-e at the district schcClhOuse near the viii Iage of Clare, today. Garvey came to Clare on a north bound Rock Island passenger train at o'clock. He hired a horse from a nearby farmer and rode to the country school house, where Miss Thomas was teacher. Entering the building he talked to the young woman for some time. Nothing sus- picious was noticed about his actions. Finally the couple walked cut together going down the road toward the town. Suddenly Garvey drew a revolver from his hip pocket and shot his companion, killing her almost instantly:
 With the revolver that had slain her he put a bullet in his own brain inn mediately after. He died in half an hour Miss Thomas had been keeping company with him for a long time, bu- had refused to receive his attentions any longer. This is the cause assigned for the deed The parents of Miss Thomas live at Gowrie.

Rumors of an American Loan Intended

Russia, in Ord5r to gain her ends, promised Lord Rothschild great concessions in Asia, including t. e sale of mines and the lease of large tracts of country for European co1O11- zation.
 It seems that the runners of the Rus sc-American lean negotiations were circulated mainly with the Cbjsc. of in ducing British fiuarciers to lend money to Russia.
 On the other hand, ths Standard 5 corr espondent says he learns that M- PObiedonostzeff, prOcuratOr of the Holy Synod and Count LamsdCrff, who is the assistant of Count Muravieff. minister of foreign affairs are using their undoubtedly great influence to cOunteract the negotiations of M Witte, minister of finance with Lord Rcthschild, and are playing Great Britain against the United States.
 l. is certain that M. Witte's position is somewhat shaken owing to the ap- par5nt impossibility Of maintaining the compulsory rate of ruble nOte5 in con- sequence of the pCOrness Of the har- vest. Some Of the hitherto most zeal ous supporters of M Wit.e now threaten to desert him.
