The Triumph of Idioov.

New York has this week fur
nished Us with an episode which
makes the rest of the country turn
away its head in shame and dis
gust. Not that the incident could
have happened nowhere else-it is
to be feared that there are several
places where it would have been
possible. But we are sorry that it
could happen in the United States.
There was wedding in New
York. Ar American heiress was
marrying an English duke. This
is something that has happened
several times before and will
doubtless happen again Whether
he married her for her millions
and she married him for his title
are deep and dark mysteries and
none of the pnblic's business
It was probably barter. but who
caree? That wasn't the disgust
ing part of the affair.
But when the ceremony wss in
progress the street outside was
filed with bowling, fighting mob
Not anarchists, protesting against
this spectacle, of hereditary wealth
and hereditary title thus joining
forces for the overthrow of the
masses; not the "army of the un-
employed" driven to frenzy by
this show of magniticeuce; not
patriotic but mistaken Americans
who objected to Democracy tosding
to aristocracy. The mob was COM
posed &C american women.
And these American women
were fighting aud clawing and
scratching to get a glimpse of the
duke and of the wedding costume of
the bride. There women were who
had comfortable home and who
lived in ease and luxury. There
were girls who were we'll dressed
and matrons who knew no wants.
There were young women and old,
rich and poor. screaming and
struggling to get close to the
church.
The police had to be called out
tn restrain the crowd.
What was the reason for this
disgusting spectacle? Who or
what caused this hideous shock to
American ideas of civilization?
Whist made these women regard
it as a matter of life and death
that they should have a view of
the noble pairH
Was it the newspapers? How
many columns have the newspa-
pers of the United States given
to this international match? How
many pages have the papers of
New York devoted TO chatter and

pie is the same, and whenever

An old man living near Fair

daughter to Ben Bondia. an Ital-

the Italian tried to make love to
the girl, who would have nothing

offered money, accepted the same
and compelled the girl to leave
home and live with the Italian.
The father of the girl then left
for some part of Ohio, where local

take charge of the girl for the time
being.

ELLISVILLE ENCOURAGED
1t Expects the Mobile, jackson and
Kansas City to Run There.

Ellisville, Jan. 20.-Ellisville is
now definitely assured that she will
secure the Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas City railroadd. Negotiations have
been quietly conducted for months
looking to this end, and with the re-
suits that after surveys into Ellis
Vile, the officials Of the company
made the committee Of citizens hav-
ing the matter in charge of PROPOSE
tion, by the terms of which the road
would be built into Ellisville. The
proposition was promptly accepted
and last week an enthusiastic citi-
zens' meeting was held to ratify the
action of the committee and to SUBJ
scribe the funds necessary to the full
fillment of the pledge made to the
railroad company. The court house
hall in which the meeting was held
was crowded and the meeting was a
most successful one, one gentleman
donating personally three miles of the
necessary right-of-way and consid-
cradle sum in cash. Both banks as
we'll as the leading business men, con-
tributed literally and about $40, 600
was raised in less than an hour. But
little now remains to be subscribed
and this is certain to be raised. The
money is to be paid over in sixty days
to the committee having the affair IN
charge, and it is probable that the
work OH the road will begin at once.
1t is the understanding that the plans
for the depot located here have al
ready been drawn and accepted by the
company officials, and all the prelim-
mary estimates as to the cost of the
new line have been made. Nothing
remains to be done but to put the men
at work on the road. This perma-
nently guarantees Ellisvill's future
prosperity. AS result, property is
advancing in value almost hourly
and a boom is apparently inevitable.
Ellisville's growth has heretofore,
while remarkably rapid. been solid
and substantial, and her citizens
will do all in their power to keep the
wildcat spectators from exploiting

THE SEAT OF SENATOR TELLER
For the Purpose of Securing a Ma
jority On Joint Ballot
DEMOCRATIC SENATE RETALIATED.
The Republicans Then Organize a
Senate of Their Own.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 20.-Both
houses of the general assembly bal
lotted for United States senator at
noon today and Henry NJ. Teller re-
ceived fifty votes, only one less than
is needed to elect. Senator Mcclure
democrat, refrained from voting,
but he has frequently said he would
vote for Teller if it should appeaa he
could be elected. Only two republi
can senators were IN the senate
chamber when the vote for senator
was taken, and they did not respond
when their names were called. Soon.
afterward the nine regular Tepubli-
can senators, the two who were ex-
PEELED by the democratic majority
and the eight contestants who had
been sworn in on the steps of the
capitol last night assembled In the
lieutenant governors room and
formed separate organization, the
senate officers previously chosen be-
ing ordered removed. A ballot was
taken then for seuator. Subsequently
two of the regularly elected republi-
can senators, Drake, of Laramer
county, and Corntorth, of Ell Passo
left the haggot senate and returned
to the senate chamber, where they
announced that they would act
with the Irregular senate" and would
no longer participate with the farce,
Under the Constitution Lieutenant
Governor Haggott is. the presiding
officer OF the joint session which is
to meet at NOON tomorrow to vote for
senator. He will insist that the
body over which he presided today
was the regular senate, and its vote
for senator should be accepted.
The speaker of the House will then
be called upon to decide which
senate shall be recognized as regu-
lar. Comparison Of the journals will
show that no one has been elected
senator. 1t will then be necessary
for lhe JOINT session to proceed with
ballotIng until senator is chosen.
If the democratic senate is recOg-
nized, and the house remains with
it's present membership, as seems
likely, Senator Teller will be re-
elected. On the contrary, If the re-
publican senate is recognized, there
is likely to be no election, and the
balloting will continue indefinitely.
Edward o. Walcott, the leading
republican candidate for senator, and
his followers are urging the governor
to call out the militia to place Hag-
gott and the republicans in posses
sioff of the senate chamber.
Governor Peabody said today that
he would not interfere.
