TELLS STRANGE STORY.
A Spider Said to Have Woven Name
of Mckinley In His Web at
Granada. Mo.

One of the most peculiar and Won
derful things that has happened in
this community for many year aud
one that has caused a great deal of
speculation and thought, as we'll as
caused some fear among the more
superstitious, is a spider with his
web at the home of j. B. Andrews,
about one aud a half miles north of
Granada, says the Granada Times..9S
About month ago Mr.. Andrews
first noticed that a spider, of rather
peculiar species, the like of which he
had never before seen, was spinning q
web in his house. The manner in
which the spider worked and the char
acter of the insect attracted his atten-
tion aud he concluded not to disturb
it, but to watch it. for a while.
The first he noticed was just an
ordinary web, but in few days the
spider made banner, some two inches
wide and two feet in length and
stretched it across the web in the
fashion of a banner hung across a
street. In the dav time the spider
would weave letters upon this banner,
the letters being about one and a half
inches in length. They were not of
single web, but were wove in thich, so
that a child could easily discern what
letters they were. For few days it
would make different letters but they
would spell no word. Each day it
would weave different letters and in
the evening destroy them only to be-
gin again the next day. On last Fri
day it finally succeeded in spelling a
word, and the word was "McKinley."
Mr.. Andrews says that each aud
every letter was complete within it.
self and that it took no imagination
to tell what the letters spelt. g.
Each evening the spider would roll
up the banner the same as person
would roll up a piece of carpet, and
then in the morning it would unroll it
and stretch it across the web to leave
it again till evening. Mr.. Andrews
called the attention of several parties
to it and they all say that they will
make affidavit as to the truth of the
name. ;
In the meantime the spider kept
right on increasing in size until it

Clark has all kinds of money to spend,
fact long we'll known; and that he
is willing to spend it, and he is not
much more particular about the To-
cality where his leg is pulled than he
is about the method by which the act
is done.
The Democrats, as is we'll known, are
in control of almost all of the large
cities, and as no jealousy for civil Ser
vice reform concerns them when they
get in, it follows that nearly all of the
Office holders in the large cities are
Democrats. So staunch an anti-ex-
pansion paper as the New York Her.
aid declares that half million dollars
will be raised among the Democratic
Office holders of New York and
Brooklyn. This is entirely credible,
and if that much can be done in these
localities alone, it is Oh indication
that ten times as much money could
probably be raised in other Democrat
ic cities, all taken together, especially
since MIR. Bryan pointed out that the
Bryanite campaign is very fortunate
in having control of the organization
in the chief cities. Perhaps this is
the real reason that he had in mind
for congratulating himself.

Alesson to Gossipers.


On Wednesday OF last week Mrs.
Carrie Edwards committed suicide at
Lenox, Iowa. Before committing the
rash act she wrote q letter from which
we take the following excerpt:
Il have suffered 90 much In the last
year both in mind and body I am not
able to work and have been mistreat-.
ed and lied about so much I cannot
bear it any longer. have tried to
keep up for my child's sake, but feel
now that she will be better off with,
out me-"
Poor womanl The unkind and un-
true words that the gossipers used to
dofamc her character drove her to
madness and she ended all by taking
her own lite. To our mind her tradu-
GERS are no better than murderers. It
is the cruel, unkind word that goes
into the heart like dagger and makes
wounds that can never be healed. It
is just as easy to say kind word as
it is to say an unkind word. We have
often wondered why kind and ALL
wise Providence created the liar and
gossiper, but with US it remains an
unsolved problem. The only thing
that makes US believe in an orthadox
hell is the existence Of these vile crea-.
lures who go about ssssssinating
character. They deserve a hell whose
tortures have never been sufficiently
described.-WorthC County Times.

which the finger of her high destiny
points. Missouri is probably the
greatest natural store-house of the
world. Her products OF wheat and
corn and tobacco and fruit, her vast
deposits of lead and zinc, her noun
tains of coal and iron, her quarries of
granite and her forests of timber are
to be the potential factors of the
greatest industrial development in
the history Of this continent. Here
the Great Architect of the universe
has piled up in infinite profusion al
Turing treasures and what the people
of this magnificent commonwealth
must do is to open her doors to the
art and genius of the outside world
by an enlightened public policy.
Then Missouri will get into the run
ming and become competitor for the
first place in the bright galaxy OF
stars in the American union. Yes,
we affirm that Republican governor
will be worth millions to the people
of this magnificent State. Now, the
question is up to the voters. Will
they give the grand old State a big
shove and start her along the shining
course of destiny, or will they con-
tinuo to bare their necks to the yoke
of the ring of bosses at Jefferson
City y?-Springfield Republican.

Worth Millions to Missouri.

Democratic editors seem inclined
to criticise Joe Flory, to discuss the
Philippine war, to consider matters in
Cuba and China, and to revert to Re-
publican rule Of 80 years ago. But
they don't appear to desire to get
down to Missouri affairs. They don't
take up those solid facts that Richard
Dalton fired into their camp. They
don't tell why taxes have been de-
creased on corporations and increased
OH the farm lands of the State. Demo-
Gratis frequently make profession of
being the peoples party, of standing
for the interests of the masses and of
favoring legislation that will put more
Of the burdens Of the government ON
the shoulders Of the railways and
other corporate interests. But the
stern facts prove that this pretense is
a glittering fraud and falsehood in
Missouri. Prominent Democratic
papers admit it, but promise that the
Democratic party will be good it the
people will again return it to power.
The farmers and workingmen have it
in their power to strike blow in
their own interest this year that will
do world of good. They should
not let the opportunity pass by nnim-
proved. They should relegate the
Democratic party and elect Joe Flory
governor and with him q Republican
Legislature. That would try the spir-
it. 1t would put both parties to the test.
1t would compel legislation in the in
terest of the masses. Will the people
of this State study their own personal
interests, or will they continue to be
duped and wronged by the duplicity
of selfish politicians? What reasons
has any farmer for voting the Demo
cratic ticket? Why should working
men vote for Democrats who have
placed the heavy burden OF State up
OH their shoulders and taken them off
the corporations while pretending to
be the friends of the people? 1t is bad
policy for one set of politicians to own
State anywhere. Frequent changes
in the administration of publ: affairs
put all parties on their good behavior
aud Republican governor and State
administration would be worth mil
lions Of dollars to the people of Mis-
souri,. 1t would lead to a new adjust
ment Of taxes in which the corpora
tions would have to pay their fair
share. 1t would also break the old
Democratic ring and relegate Bour-
bonism to inOcuous desuetude. It
would mean that new men have come
to the helm and that a more liberal
and enlightened public policy would
be inaugurated. Such a. change
would invite the capital and genius
of the East to the great natural wealth
of Missouri and then the empire State
of the West would begin that career
of expansion and Development to

reached the proportion of q large sized
tarantula, and Mr.. Andrews began to
become somewhat nervous of tho
strange phenomena, 50 one evening
while he was watching Mr.. Spider, he
noticed that instead of rolling up the
banner as it had heretofore it appear
ed to be eating it and to begin to get
ready to leave, and for fear that it
would escape he killed it.
Several parties were fortunate
enough to see this strange phenomena
ana all agree that it was indeed, a Pc
culiar and facinating sight.
The question now arises, what did
it mean.

Democratic Doodle.
Especial correspondence.)


New York, August Sit muet
not be supposed that the Democratic
National Committee is going to be
without funds in this political CAM
paign. In fact it is abundantly in
funds at present, aud all signs indi-
cate that it will continue to be ''flush"
throughout. That is already evident
from the way in which Chairman
Jones and his committee are spend
ing money, and furthermore, it is not
hard to imagine, or indeed to find out
exactly, where immense amounts of
the "dough" arc coming from.
The New York World. the leading
Democratic paper here, has stated
positively in so many words that
William A. Clark of Montana (whom
it calls "Ex.Scnator" as if he had been
in:the Senate( gave his check just be-
fore he sailed for Europe to Chair
man Jones, for 100000, promising
to do more and better later on
if it should be necessary-and Of
course it will be necessary.
The World also quotes "Senator"
Clark's friends as declaring that the
Montana multi-millionare and briber
would rather give $50O,O00 than see
the electoral vote of his own state
cast fol Mckinley.
It is difficult to realize that 80 much
money could be spent for such a pur-
pose in so comparatively small state,
yet those who are best posted about
such matters consider it entirely
possible, in view of what Mr.. Clark
has done in similar directions hitherto.
It goes without saying that Clark and
his Montana delegation were not ad-
mitted to the Kansas City Convention
without bis agreeing to do something
handsome in return; and Clark has
evidently made a beginning, though
perhaps small one, in doing that
handsome thing.
The world, by the way, prints q
fac simile of the Clark check for
100000, so that it's existence would
seem to have been real.
Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire is well remembered for his ex-
traordinary and successful efforts to
keep William A. Clark out of the
Senate; and now it is a commonly ac-
copied fact in New Hampshire that
Clark is going to return these courte-
sies by spending no end of money, all
that might be required, to defeat Mr..
Chandler for reelection. 1t is doubt
full if this kind of thing will go in
New Hampshire, especially if it be-
comes sufficiently we'll known that
Clark is determined upon that course.
The incident, doubtless a true one, is
sufficient to illustrate, however, that

I am glad to address the members of the
society that stood by President Mckinley
and gave their influence toward interna-
tional arbitration at the peace conference
at The Hague. It is not possible as yet
for we have not advanced far enough
to be able to settle all our difficulties
peaceably by arbitration, but in every case
we should avoid an appeal to arms where
possible. for we a party are pledged
to peaceful settlement until war becomes
a last resort. We believe in being slow to
enter upon war, but having entered upon
1t we believe in seeing it through; we
believe we have a right to appeal to
