st. Louts Chronicle: Bryan Dem.
ocrats have called a State Convention
in Ohio for July 81. 1t will be held in
the Great Southern Hotel, Columbus.
They intend to put afull state ticket in
the field. The call went forth Monday
morning. 1t also contains the declar-
alton of principles which is to be en-
bodied in or t. constitute the platform.
The declaration is not of the johnson
type. Those who sign the declaration
will be entitled to attend the conven-
ton. If the Tom johnson platform is
killed, the Tom johnson presidential
candidacy may be killed with 1t. And
also the Mclean senatorial boom. So
If there were no hope on the part OF
the Bryan Democrats that they could
elect a ticket. there would be a sufic-
lent inducement for their work in the
possibility of settling Mclean and
side-tracking johnson who has avowed
his determination to secure the Presi-
Dental nomination on the Democratic
ticket. by first committing Democracy
to the views he holds"

without benefit. Then he was advised

SURELY there is much useless delay
In building and equipping State insti-
tutions in Missouri. The hospital for
the insane is an example. An item
from the Pennington Times copied in
this paper to-day, tells of a junket the
commissioners are taking. Before the
buildings were started oyer a year ago
the old board took a trip to study the
best styles in use in the east. Now
the new board, its architect and his
clerk are on a trip. That hospital
should have been completed and occu-
pied a year. 1t was authorized be-
cause Southeast Missouri was tired of
sending its insane people at great ex-
pense, to Fulton and Nevada, Gov.

matter, and have his appointees do
the work the State has appropriated
the money for.-DunkLin Democrat.
The State Legislature in making the
appropriation for the Pennington asy-

the extravagances of the old board and
specified that the appropriation should
be spent by "a new board. Very ap-

Gov. DOCkERY has ISSUED a proc
lamation setting aside Sunday, July
21st, as a day of fasting and prayer,
that the threatened disasters because
of the drouth may be averted. In
other words, everybody on that day is
to pray for rain. Prayer ia right; it is
always right, in all seasons and under
all conditions-whether the earth re
fuses to yield her bounty, or humanity
revels in the excess thereof. Is there
peculiar efficacy in the prayer ordered
by official proclamation on a set day?
When men are to make for the occa-
sion their phylacteries broader, and
raise their voices higher than usual?
Believe it noti The prayer that
reaches the Almighty is not voiced in
words; is not beflowered with ornate
phrases. 1t comes yelling from the
heart, and ascends to the Throne of
Grace unformulated by the vocal or
gans, and unpropelled by lung power.
The man who aspires to be a better
man tomorrow than he is to-day; who
resolves to sink self in the betterment
of his fellow man, prays; prays sin
cerely and earnestly. The man, who,
dismayed by the conditions around him
concerned with the earthly things
that threaten for a time his ease and
comfort-certainly does not pray on
the higher plane. His prayer is, in
it's very nature, a prayer of instruc-
tion as well as of solicitation; for if
He doeth all things we'll" who are
we to question the end, or the
that He has set toward that end?
Next Sunday no doubt thousands OF
sincere prayers will resound in the
churches in answer to the Governors
proclamation, but what will all of
them weigh in comparison with the
silent prayer of the mother for the
welfare of the soul of her sleeping in
FAINT? The official authority of the

PoSToFFicE ROBBED.
Government Loses $3.50 at Mystic Last
Night.

Mystic, Sept. 14.-(SpeciaD The
postoffice at this place was robbed
last night. The safe was blown open
and between $75 and 500 in cash and
$50 in stamps We're stolen. There is
no clue to the thieves and it is believ-
ed they are experts.
The robbers entered the building in
which the postoffice is located through
rear door, and going to the place
where the safe is located Immediately
blew it open. Besides the cash
amounting to nearly 500 and $50 in
stamps, they secured number of let
tiers, a valuable package and a sack
containing all the keys of the office.
The local officers have sent word to
all the surrounding cities to look out
for the robbers, but there is absolute
ly no clue upon which to work. 1t is
believed the same gang did the work
her that robbed the Milwaukee depots
at Seymour and Powersville recently.

kinley.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-The official an
nouncement of the physicians as re-
suit of the autopsy on the Presidents
body that death resulted from gan
creme led to much discussion of the
causes leading up to this gangrene. 1t
developed that DR.. Wasdin, one of the
consulting physicians, and an expert
of high standing in the marine hospi-
tai service, strongly supported the
view that the murderous bullet had
been poisoned and this was one of
the moving causes of the gangrenous
conditions. The area of this dead and
gangrened flesh was source of much
surprise to the surgeons, reaching a
circumference of about the size of a
silver dollar above the internal
wounds.
Aside from their official signed
statement, the doctors We're averse to
discussing the autopsy. DR.. Matthew
D. Mann, upon whom fell the RESPONSE
bility of the operation, said about the
criticisms made as to the insufticiency
of the original examination and the
failure to locate the bullet, 81 think the
report is a sufficient answer 1t shows
plainly the location of the bullet had
nothing to do with the final outcome of
the case. That resulted from gangrene
which appeared in the path of the bull
let. Even our efforts to locate it
were unsuccessful. believe it went
into the muscle at the small of the
back. Serious damage was done to
the organs through which it passed,
not to the locality where it now rests .
He affirmed the correctness of the
report which says the first bullet strik-
ing in the breast did not harm. That
bullet evidently struck bottom and

The report says that the heart walls
were very thin; that is usual with one
who leads sedantary life and whose
heart gets no great amount of exer-

was sufficient when no strain was re-
quired. When extraordinary efforts
were necessary the heart was unable
to meet them. As to the report alleg-

President Mckinley crowned life OF
