GOLD MEDALS AWARDED
TO MISSOURI PRODUCTS.
State Shared Beautifully In the Dis
tributfon of Prizes at the
Charleston Exposition.
SPECTAh

REPUBLIC SPEC1Ah.
Charleston, 8. c.. May 1s.-The Jury of
awards on agricultural products. selected
BY the managers of the South Carolina n
West Indian Exposition. submitted its
printed report to-day. 1t is quite volum'-
nous and covers every exhibit entered IN
this division by the commissioners from the
different States.
The report will prove gratifying to the
people OF Missouri. because It shows. that
the advanced position the State took at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo has
been easily maintained. and even exceeded.
The gold medal awarded the State at Buff
falo for the superior excellence of corn has
been duplicated at Charleston In the face
OF all competition. This gives to Missouri
a deserved recognition as one OF the great
corn-erowing States Of the Central West.
The award Of a gold medal for a collec-
tive agricultural exhibit is also most graft
flying recognition Of Missouri's productive
capacity along this line, and emphasizes
her importance to the farmer and stock
raiser. The award of a gold medal for red
clover was entirely In harmony with the
other awards, because nowhere do grasses
grow in richer p%rofusion than in Missouri.
The award Of gold medals for collective
exhibits of seeds and wool were made on
meritortous tests OF competition ana ada
Importance to Missouri's standing as an as-
rIcJ,ltural State. The awards in the hort!cul-
tuTal, educational, forestry and mines &c.
Rartments. five gold. three silver and eiSht
bronze medals, were awarded and honorable
mention made in thirty cases. E;S. Carver.

Lewis Nixon, Successor of Richard
Croker, Finds Leadership
Difficult.
AT OUTS WITH THE SACHEMS.
They Refuse to Select His Choice
as Grand Sachem-Executive
Committee Is Hastily
Called Together.

New York, May 1x-Angered by the rebuff
which he received at the meeting OF the
sachems OF the Tammany Society on Mon
day night. Lewis Nixon. leader Of Tamma-
ny Hall since Richard Croker retired on
January Il. will tomorrow appear before
the Executive Committee Of the o~rsaniza-
ton and present his resignation.
After consulting with friends in the or
ganization Mr.. Nixon concluded tonight
that refusal of the sachems to select Thorn
as L. Feitner. his choice. as grand sachem.
meant the end OF his usefulness to the or
sanization.
Rather h stand by and see former
Mayor Van Wyck elected to the place. as
seems inevitable when the board meets next
Monday. he decided to sever his connection
with the party except as a follower in the
ranks.
Late in the evening he sent out a tele-
graphic call to all the members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee to meet in the wigwam
at 4 o'clock tomorrow evening ito consider
important business" The important bust
ness will be the receipt Of Mr.. Nixon's
resignation.
Realizing that a crisis was at hand, Mr..
Nixon this morning gave q hint that he
would not retain the leadership unless Mr..
Feitner, and not Mr. Van Wyck, should be
elected grand sachem.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Clinton, Mo-. May 13.-The Endorsement of
c. c. Dickinson for Senator by the Bates
County Democracy yesterday is significant
as indicating the growth Of anti-lobby SEN
timent In Western Missouri.
Mr.. Dickinson was a member of the
House from Henry County at the last ses-
sion and was noted for his opposition to
lobby methods. Senator Whaley. from this
district, was one of what was known as the
lobby combine. Dickinson denounced him
on the floor of the House.
Whaley vowed revenge and swore that he
would defeat Dickinson for Senator IL the
latter became a candidate. He espoused the
candidacy of ]. H. Davidson a Cedar. The
latter had Whaley's county. st. Clair. and
the Senatorial Convention. Dickinson had
Henry. with eight votes. and Bates. with
her seven votes. was left to decide the con-
test.
Dickinson and Davidson made a friendly
canvass Of Bates, often speaking together.
whaley plunged into the county with an
acrimonious warfare upon Dickinson that
elected a sharp rebuke from the local press.
Whaley's course raised the issue of lobby
domination, and Dickinson denounced him
and his record. As a result. out Of 142 dele
Dickinson secured 13S. and Davidson with
drew from the senatorial race before the
senatorial delegates were chosen. insuring
Dickinson's nomination unanimously by the
Senatorial Convention to be held at Apple

be a sudden flow Of gas from the balloon.
The motor and its fire were only about a

Hillsboro, Mo. May 12-The trial of Will
liam and Daniel Greenhill. brothers.
charged with the murder of their sister.
Mrs. Sadie Greenhill Uren. and John Meloy
in De Soto on the night of September 26.
1901. began In the Circuit Court here to-
day.
Forty jurors qualified to-day, and from
these twelve will be selected tomorrow 20
try the case. Judge F. r. Dcaring is on
the bench; Circuit Attorney Joseph G.. VII
liams represents the State, ard Judge r. A.
Frazier has been engaged to assist him..
The killing of Mrs. Uren and Meloy was
one of the most grewsome crimes ever COM
mitted ir Missouri. Three doctors Of high
repute in this section testified on the first
day of the Coroner's inquest that the VIC
tins first had been assaulted with an ak OF
Ratchet. and that then bullets had been
fired into the wounds caused by the bladed
weapons.
Until this testimony Of the physicians was
given. it was generally believed by the peo-
pie of De Soto that John Meloy had killed
Mrs. Uren with a cheap pistol found by the
two bodies, and then sent a bullet into his
own brain.
Story of Brothers Mt Inquest.
William and Dan Greenhill testified at the
inquest on the first day that they had
heard the shots, and when they arrived at
their sisters house, which Is next to that
of their fathers, Robert Greenhill, where
they lived, Meloy and Mrs. Uren were lying
on the floor, dead.
FTenzied by the sight and angered at Me-
10y before the tragedy, they declared that
they had hacked the heads of both the vic
tins with an * which one of them had
carried to the house.
The testimony of the doctors completely
upset these statements, and the Coroner de-
cided to continue the case until the next
day, Monday. The brothers were taken into
custody and held at the principal hotel in
De Soto. Circuit Attorney Williams took up
the case and gained considerable informa-
ton Of a damaging nature against William
and Dan Greenhill.
It developed that the two brothers favored
the suit of Caleb Andrews, an Iron Noun
tain Railway brakeman, for their sisters
hand. John Meloy had been away from Ds
Soto several months, and only arrived at his
home on the day of the murder. Several
witnesses. were found who testified that he
had attempted to borrow a revolver from
them This gave strength to the murder
and suicide theory until the doctors had
given their testimony that the bullet wounds
were inflicted after those caused by the ak,
and that either would have caused death.
