Six months before an election Republican organs con-
fdently predict that their party will carry Missouri. Three
months later they say they should carry the State. A
month c. 50 before election they say it VIII be n measIy
shame IL they don't carry the State. a few days before
the ides Of November they concede that the Democrats
may carry the Stately fraud. Week after election they
devote to explaining how IT happened that they failed TO
convince the intelligent voter3 Of the State that a change
would benefit anything. Now. watch this bit OF history re-

gigantic evil which calls ;or correction,
though in the nature OF the case it may
be hard to secure corrective measures.

general plucking, and the spoil is at

II these three lilliputian settlements
were combined and blended into one,
the result would bc II little village Of

lows, absolutely and by percentage;

in the marauder's hand which resem

A Supposed Tragedy Near the Bar
racks Being Investigated.
officer Evitts Finds Blood and Suspi-
cious Looking Prints in
the Soft Earth.
WILL THOROUGHLY DRAG PIT


A muffied scream and then bang !
bang three shots in all.
"Now we've played hi We've
killed her. What will we do?"
"we'll just put her in quilt, drop
some rocks into it and throw it into
that pitt"
This is tire conversation that was
reported yesterday to Officer Tom Ev-
tits as having been heard by reputa-
BILE man who says he will make an
affidavit to it. He was in the vicinity
OF a dark and lonesome place near the
barracks Friday night when he asserts
he heard the above conversation, pune
tua ted by pistol shots.
IL sounds very melodramatic but
officer Evitts is determine to probe
to the bottom of the mystery.
Saturday it wa reported to him by
others in that section that pistol shots
and screams were heard in the vicini'
ty Of the Round Top" but after in
vesti gatiny the report officer Evittf
was ready to abandon it as hoax.
Yesterday, however, ne heard the name
of one man who declared he heard the
above conversation and shots, and upor
going to him the man at first denied
making them, but after being confront
ed by one who had heard him, he &C
kowledged that he did hear the above
ana didn't tell it because he didn''
want to get mi xed up in anything OF
the kind.
He then took the officer to the de
serted place where the tragedy is sup
posed to have been enacted, and there
were evidences of struggle in the
soft water soaked ground with trail
Of blood, which expanded into pol
in one or two places as if the burder
that was being dragged towards thu
gravel pit was so heavy that the mel
were forced to rest. Near the brinl
of the deep pit there was quite a poo
Of blood, as if it accumulated while
they were placing rocks into the gull
to weight it down,
Officer Eyitts has gone CAREFUL,
I through the neighborhood, and no wo
man is missing SO far as he could
learn. Rain yesterday prevented hi
having the pit dragged, but just t.
satisfy the people of that LOCALITY wht
fear there may have been foul play,
and dispel his own doubts he will
have the pit dragged.
The prints of some object being
dragged, and the blood found yesttr-
day, were in a different place from
those searched by the officer Saturday.
