home on South Jefferson street Of
heart disease. Mrs. Martin had been
i'll for some time, but was thought to
be much better. She died while sit
ting in chair, falling to the floor be-
fore anyone knew she was dead.
The deceased was seventy-two years

ago last Saturday--the day before her

two children, Mrs. Kate Glandon and
Mrs. Rose Ringo. Mrs. GIandon

SCHOOL MONEY.
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED THOU
SAND MORE TO DISTRIBUTE.
STATE WILL HAVE sl,lIO,3llB.
Grand Showing Made by the Demo
cratic Administration of the
School Money ofths state
of Missouri.

State Auditor Albert o. Allen Sat-
urday certified to State Snperlntend-
ent Of Public Schools w. L. CARING
ton the amount Of money to be appor-
TONED this year from the State re-
ceipts for the support OF public
schools OF the State. The amount is
a big increase over the sum apportion-
ed last year, which was an increase
over the previous year. The State
this year will have sl,170,3i1.4S to d.
vide among the counties as compared
with s1,OS5,02O21 distributed last
year. 1t cannot yet be determined
how much each county will receive
until the State Superintendent has re-
ceived the reports from each county
giving the enrolment in the counties.
The schools of the State get one
third Of the money received into the
State revenue fund from July to
July Of each year. During the year
just closed there were g., ,e49, e64. A re-
ceived into the revenue fund one
third OF which amounts to 1888, 32l. 4S
and interest on the school certificates
amounts to sls6, 800, making a total Of
81, 70,3ll.4 As. This is agrand showing for
the schools Of the State under the
administration OF Democrats.
Governor Dockery, commenting SAT-
urday upon the increased apportion-
ment Of State school moneys, was in
cllned tobe humorous:
HOh, yes," the Governor said, 1--WE
are still 'looting' the school fund. The
apportlonment OF State taxes for the
education Of our children and the
maintenance Of the public school sys-
tenn for the current year is sl, ITO, ,3ll.-
In round numbers an in
crease Of $4,000 over any previous
year In the history Of the State. The
increased apportIonment last year
over the preceding year was nearly
s10O, 900.
''In the face Of such apportion-
ments as these the Republican howl
about footing the school fund de-
generates into farce comedy Un-
der this apportionment Of school
moneys there are several Republican
counties that win receive from the
State for the education Of their chill
dren more money than they pay into
the State treasury for all purposes.
"Yes, the .looting' will go on, and
Missouri's magnificent educational
system win continue TO be impreg-
nable against all malicious Republic
can assaults. From the State Trib-

"Mr' Bryan's Declarations to Send Only
Free Silver Delegates to Conven-
tions Very Great Mistake"
Bad Policy for the Party.

WASHINGTON, July Senator Vest
expressed an opinion yesterday that a
man may be a good Democrat without
indorsing the declaration in the Kan
sas City platform for the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver at the ratio
OF l6 to J.. The Senator said:
II have no objection to stating that,
while I am bimetalllst, sincerely and
truly, and believe that silver Is money
of ultimate redemption, do not
think that this is the time to make
the free and pnlinited coinage Of
silver at 10 to paramount issue. l
believe that a man can be good
Democrat without indorsing the
declaration In the Kansas City plat
form for the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver at 16 20 l without the
consent OF foreign countries.
II will further state that l think
Mr.. Bryan's declaration, made in his
paper and in his speeches at Chilli
cothe and other places in Missouri,
that no man should be sent as a dele
gate to any county, state or national
convention who does not indorse the
Kansas City platform in its entirety,
is a very great mistake. II this is to
be the test of Democracy in Missouri,
men will be read out Of the party who,
like myself, have voted the ticket for
fifty years, but who now believe that
circumstances have made the free and
unlimited coinage ofsilver at the ratio
Of l6 to l an impolitic declaration.

NOR AT rms TIME.
The Council Will Not Buy an Elec-
trio Light Plant-Not Good In
vestment for City Just Now.

From the Vandalia Leader.
The city council Of Vandalia met
last Wednesday night to act upon
the report of the committee appoint
ed to investigate the cost Of an cleo
trio light plant. The report Of the
committee was, in effect, that it was
not advisable to buy a plant just at
this time. The council received the
report and adopted it,
1t was suggested that further in
vestigation be made but the majority
OF the board is firm in its stanC
against the purchase OF plant and
declare they will resign their positions
before they yield. They realize that
they can be compelled to execute the
orders of the voters, but rather than
do this they will step down and out
and let some one else take the reins.
OF course no one has any disposition
to resort to the courts. The council
win probably make astatement to the
public at next meeting.
The council met again Tuesday
night at which time new electric
light contract was submitted. The
contract is to run for one year and
the price TO be paid is s1.l0 for 80
candle power lights and 60 cents fol
l6-candle power lights. There was
a division In the council on this and
the Mayor cast the deciding vote and
the proposition was adopted.

JULY

July, for you the songs are sung
BY birds the leafy trees among;
With merry carollngs they wake
The meadows at the mornings break
And through the day the lisping breeze
Is woven with their treetop glees;
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Are full Of tales like story books.
For you fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom urns,
Which tempts the bees TO hasten home
With honey for their honeycomb,
The river, like a looking glass,
Reflects the fleccy clouds that pass
Until II makes US almost doubt
II earth and sky aren't changed about
July, for you, insilence deep,
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on the glorious holiday,
When all our books are put away,
And every little maid and man
Is proud to be an American.
