A VICTIM OF HAZERS.
Student Put in Packing Case and
Left on Sweetheart's Porch.
Freshman a t Rutgers College Stripped
of His Evening Dress by Festive
SOphomores, and Arrayed
in Cast-OR Clothing.

The victim of the first hazing Incl
dent of the year at Rutgers college,
New Brunswick, n. j., is B. F. Shivley,
a freshman, of Troy, N. Y. Shivley
was on his way to the house of his
sweetheart, who lives in Somerset
street, nearly opposite the children's
industrial home, when he was stopped
by band of sophomores. He wore
evening dress. Shivley was marched
to a secret place and divested of his
apparel. The sophomores knew where
Shivley was bound, and one of them
said:
Its a shame to disappoint a girl
like this
"Yes," said another; "let's take him
there anyway"
''But we can hardly take him there
in that shape" said the first, nodding
to Shiyley, who was shivering in moth
ing.
They gave Shivley a suit which
looked as though it had been cast
away by a tramp. Then a packing
box full of excelsior was procured,
and Shivley was fastened in the box
ana packed Jlgnl. Ills cheeks were
painted with mucilage and excelsior
stuck to them for whiskers. Then,
with his head just showing above the
top of the box, Shivley was borne to
his original destination.
The box was deposited on the front
porch of the young woman's home.
Not being able to free himself, Shiv-
laU xUaitod until his friends in the
house discovered his predicament. 1t
happened that a junior was calling on
the young woman, and he released
Shivley and escorted him home. The
next day the clothing taken from the
young man was returned to him
through the agency of the juniors,
who hold the secret of who the hazers
were

CAME BACK IN STYLE.
How q Young West Virginian Re-
turned from the kIOndike
Lavish with Money.

"Jimmy'' Adams has returned to
Berkeley Springs, w. Va, from the
Klondike. He has also created a sensa-
tion by his spectacular arrival. When
he left the town three years ago he
went with nothing and on a freight
train. He returned the other day in
a private car, hauled by a leased loco
motive, and brought with him nearly
100000 in gold and papers represent
ing mining possessions worth $5,000,-
600 and prospectively worth ten times
as much. When he was back from the
north two years ago he had some gold
and good prospects, but he had not
written home since, and no one was
prepared for his return.
At Detroit he tired of ordinary
trains and took the best and big
gest car he could get at $500 day, COM
ing along leisurely and stopping at Nj
agara Falls and New York. When he
got to Brunswick he leased an engine
to come over the branch line to Berkeley
Springs, arriving at the station with
out soul in the town expecting him.
He had ten big trunks hauled to his
fathers house and $15O,OO0 gold taken
to the bank. A year ago he bought the
old folks fine farm and the other day
he gave his father $40, 600 to put house
on it. Jimmy" is little past %.

self this week in his laboratory at
Mulhouse in Alsace. He had con-
structed the machine himself. It was
an exact duplicate of the legal French
guillotine, but was made of costly
woods and finely polished.
The triangular knife had engraved
on it: ''This blade cut Arthur Charol-
lais' neck, October, 1900"
Near the body was found a note
reading: Distribute my belongings
among the poor. Demolish this gull
lotine. It is intended solely for my
own private use"
Charollais' servants hearu an un-
familiar electric bell suddenly ring
ing persistently, and rushing to an

wriggling, headless body, with blood
gushing in streams from the neck.
The head was in basket with saw
dust where it had fallen.
The suicide had so arranged the
knife that its fall started an electric

prove to be rich yellow metal when
the deposits are properly worked. An
effort is being made. the St. Joseph
Nescs says, TO have the members of the
State board of geology visit the gold
fields and give them official recognition.
The latest assays show that the Oregon
county ore runs $163 per ton. In the
Rockies. where the precious metal is
found in quartz, it is in assures or
dykes, while in Missouri, gold is
stratified. Gold bearing rock. accord
ing to all reports, is found over the en-
tire section of country. 0utcroppings
have been found near Mitch, Bradley
and other villages in Oregon county.
At Thayer, the principal town in that
section, there is considerable excite
ment over the discoveries. The world
at large has heard little of the Missou-
ri gold fields, but If the finds prove to
be what they now seem, it will not be
long until goldseekers will be headed
toward the Ozarks.

The Falling of the Leaves.

Swiftly October to November turns.
The hour glass of the year runs steadi-
ly away. The leaves fall upon Mother
Natures barred, brown breast. Her
arms outstretched gather them, pull
close the coverlet of snow and we
shudder at the chill that comes with
winters half closed eyes.
And hearts that break and lives that
fail, the leaves flame up in gold and
burning glory and then fall in silence
and asleep. The green of all the sum-
mer months, the gorgeousness of sim
gle week In autumn and then prone
upon the earth, the leaves to ashes
turn. They tread softly through the
gentle autumn air and give their lives
to enrich the soil from which they
sprang. Thus with breaking hearts
and love chords swapping in the dark
ness. Long days OF heart desire,
moment of intense agony of soul and,
then, the rest which we call Death.
No heart has yet been bruised and
stricken. no life has yet been laid upon
the altar sacriicial, that did not, as
the falling leaves, enrich the soil of
centuries and prepare the way for the
spring time of humanity.
The leaves fall and the trees are
bare. Lives go out in sadness and the
flag of the worlds hope is furled.
From the falling of the leaves the vio-
let's spring and the summer with its
wide spread lap of food. Tomorrow
treads close upon the flag means its
uprising to larger breeze. The
spent life means investment for hu-
manity. The leaves have fallen that
the spring may come Waiter WI
Iianas.

VOLUME XXXIV. IRONTON. MO. THURSDAY NOVEMBER
Cause of the st. Louis Result.

The Republican managers in this
city charge the tremendous reduction
of the Republican plurality and the
defeat of the entire Republican local
ticket to the Nesbit law and the hos
tllity of organized labor to Judge
Klein.
A law placing the entire election
machinery in the hands of Democratic
appointees of the Governor was opera
tive in Kansas City; the police force
there was controlled by a Democratic
Police Board; the Republicans scored
victory in Kansas City. 1t is strange
if Democratic control caused Repub-
lican defeat in St. Louis it could not
prevent Republican victory in Kan
sas City. 1t is highly probable that
there were frauds in the election, but
it is highly improbable that they were
confined wholly to one side or extended
to more than few thousand votes in
favorable localities.
While the opposition of organized
labor to Judge Klein may have affected
the vote on other candidates to some
extent, the proof that it was mainly
concentrated upon Judge Klein and
that a large number of votes cast
against him were not cast against the
entire Republican ticket, is found in
the fact that his vote fell over 1000
below the next lowest vote on the Re-
publican ticket.
When all possible allowances are
made for fraud and special opposition
to candidates, there still remains a
large margin of votes against the Re-
publican ticket which can only be ac-
counted for on the ground of popular
disgust with the spectacular misgovern-
ment of St. Louis.
The effects OF municipal misrule
have been cumulative in the conditions
of st. Louis and in the minds of the
people. Both reached an acute stage
before the election. The city was in
an intoierable condition, and the public
mind was filled with resentment against
the incompetence and corruption of
the Republican machine.
If the local Republican leaders did
not know of the existence of this
popular disgust with the party machine
in power at the City Hall. and do not
see in its defeat a warning that the
party organization must be renovated
and reformed, they are in bad way.
If the party does not change its leader
ship it will suffer a worse calamity
than it has suffered.-St. Loass Post
Dispatch.

ExcITEs GREAT INTEREST.
English Sporting Blood Aroused Over
Challenge of Upton for the
Americas Cup.

The prospect of another internation-
al yacht race creates no end of antici-
patton and interest. 1t is welcomed
as a grateful relief to the tragic hap
penings which have marked the Just
completed year of Boer warfare. The
spirit of opposition which Sir Thomas
Upton encountered among some of his
own people last year and the accusa-
tions of self-advertisement do not ap-
pear likely to be repeated this time, for
the bona-fide spirit of his sportsman
ship is becoming generally recognized,
though the bulk of Englishmen are be-
ginning to believe the cup is in Amer
lea for good.

VIII Press Their Policies.

The New York Herald on the morn
ing after election expressed the opinion
that the republican victory in the con-
gressional election will have a most
important bearing upon the policy of
the administration.
The president will accept the result
as vindication of his policies and
these policies will be continued with
redoubled energy.
What these policies are requires no
detailed explanation. They have been
too often and too elaborately pointed
out in the campaign just closed to de-
serve extended repitition.
The leading of these policies, and
the one most dangerous to the social,
political and moral structure of Ameri-
can institutions, is the career of colon
ial conquest in old world countries,
and the forcing under our sway of
polyglot and uncongenial races.
10 carrying out this policy American
citizens must needs turn their back
upon the central truth in our political
system as declared in their great Magma
Charta of 1776, that government by
the consent of the governed is the only
just title to authority over a people.
They must needs acquiesce in the
arbitrary right of the executive to wage
war without the previous authorization
and consent of congress, as he has done
in the Philippines and in China. They
must needs approve of the violation OF
the constitution, done in the enuncia-
tion of the republican fiat that territory
under the flag and under the authority
of the United States shall be governed
by congress and the president under
whatever provisions and rules they
may choose to apply. They must,
moreover, needs indorse the nullifica-
tion and rejection of the Monroe doc
trine involved in our seizing lands in
Asia and plunging into the diplomatic
complications and broils of old world
governments, and submit to the seizure
and colonization of territory in the
western hemisphere by the nations of
Europe.
Another policy of the administration
to which the recent verdict of the
American people would seem to have
given approval is the one of fostering
and promoting the growth OF monster
monopolies, that are forcing the masses
into a state of commercial thraldom
and dependence, and are debating
federal legislation and in fact usurping
the actual functions OF the general
government.
These cardinal policies of the admin
istration, it may be depended on, will
be pushed by Mr.. Mckinley with an
energy and vigor born of poplar ap-
proval.
The result can not be problematical.
Either the people will yield submiss-
lively 10 the twin tyrannies of imper-
ialism and trustism. or they will seek
relief from these evils, which are eat
ing away their political independence
and devouring their material oppor-
tunities, in the democratic party, that
has at all times during the rounded
century of its existence been the stead
fast defender of popular rights and the
constant foe of special privileges and
and class discrimination.- CStg
