man who made more friends on the
American stage than any other, ex-
cepting his old friend, Joseph JEFF
ferson.
On last Monday morning some
one obtained lot of mail from
the combination-lock boxes in the
| postofice. The boxes of County
Clerk Howard and Gardner & Naill-
ing were relieved of their contents.
About this time Clerk Boaz caught
a negro in the act Of taking pack
age from the box belonging to H.
Dietzel, and it is supposed this was
the man who robbed the other
boxes. A letter addressed ito Mr..
Howard from Esq. Roberts, of Full
ton, was found in the street after
having been robbed of an express
money order for $3.50. The thief
has not been captured.
Mr.. Henry Head and one of the
editors of this paper went over to
Fulton Saturday night to see JEFF
ferson De Angels and his company
in the musical comedy, "The En-
erald | v by Mr.. Arthur Sullivan.
1t wasI of course, one of the newest
productions by first-class COM
pany. De Angeles measures fame
with Francis Wilson, Frank Dan
iels, De Wolf Hopper and that line
of comedians, and his coming to
Fulton was rather an accident than
an incident. Then there were Josie
Knapp, Kate Condor and Chas. Dun
gan, familiar faces to theater-goers
in the larger cities in many impor-
tant roles. Fulton has a very hand
some opera house. 1t is, indeed, a
credit to that city, but we fear the
manager or the employees failed to
keep the temperature warm enough
on the stage. Either that or some
thing else prevented the singers
from responding to encores. In
fact two or three songs were omit
ted altogether, but "Prof. Bum
was kind enough to repeat +" Fol
de roll"

Bad Campaign Document.

Warrensburg Star.
Tue last two circular letters received
at this Office from N. w. MCLEOD, the
manager of Folks bureau at St. Louis
are strongly at variance. Iu the letter
of the oath inst, this statement occurs:
''We want to conduct a dignifed and
heightened campaign, and do 0 stoop
to answer every silly statement emaua-
ting from Doodle sources"
That sounded all right and we be-
lieve in Joseph W. Folk strongly G.
nough to think that his sentiments
found utterance in this expression of
his manager. But on Tuesday of this
week, came a letter, which for lnnuen-
do and direct vlllifcation would shame
the caustic comments and falsehoods
of the average Republican newspapers.
The Star has defended Mr.. Folk,
and it has been our Intention 20 ac-
cord to him every advantage which the
columns of a newspaper afford a an.
didate, without espousal of his cause.
To the other gubernatorial can didates
we offer a similar opportunity, and 1t
has not been our intention to take sides
in this family discussion, but to give
all an impartial hearing.
But Mr.. Mcleod mas written a very
ill-advised letter, and he has scattered
it broadcast. Joseph W. Folk has
enough of o load to carry, upright
Democrat though he be, without hav-
ing so tactless, and badly informed a
manager, who |autagonizes some of the
best men God ever made, by placing
them alongside the thugs and thieves
of his own corrupt city, simply because
they happen to believe another man
would make as good a governor as
Joseph Folk.
From the letter referred to we quote
the following extract;
1.-THE crowd opposing Mr.. Folk are
dominated largely by Doodle influences.
They are not good Democrats,
for they would prefer to have the state
60 Republican than to have Folk cleo
ted Governor. II they cannot control
the party they will try to wreck it.
The bitterness OF their opposition, and
the conspicuous disregard of truth they
display in their opposition shows this.
Look around you in your own country,
and see the class of fellows opposing
Mr.. Folk, and draw your own conclu-
sion,n
We know some voters who pinned
their faith to Mayor Reed before Folk
was ever mentioned. We know many
others who believe Judge CAN'T to be
the ideal candidate. We know of
many good men who favor Folk, but
they are not so silly nor so vindictive
as to believe they have a corner on sin
cerity of choice.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to

2 constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
larrh Cure Is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby de-
slrol log the foundation Of the disease,
and giving tho patient strength by

Luz ~uCnoOioNs VI Nuo Spu"A9 my ~
swer tie question.
There seems to be a gradually inten
styling desire on the part of many peo-
pie in the country, and especially the
men of prominence who visit this city,
to know exactly what it was that hap
penen to Mr.. Msgelssen, our vice con-
sui to Beirut. Thus far not a morsel
of information has been vouchsafed
from any quarter. Our fleet was or
dered to the Syrian port on the. strength
OF a report by Minister Leishman, at
Constantinople, TO the effect that Mr..
Megalssen had been assassinated. Ad-
miral Cotton reached Beirut some days
later, only to find that Megalssen was
alive and we'll. 1t has transpired,
moreover, that, up to the time the as
sassination roorback was sent by Min
lister Leishman, there had been no hos
tile demonstrations by the Mohammed-
an population of the city or its immed-
late neighborbood. There have been
some since, we are told, but that IS
Ineligible enough. We all know
what would occur in any of our sea-
port towns we're a foreign government
to send a clustering fleet there on false
report, and without stopping for ex-
plantations. What bothers folk, how
ever, is the fact that after all this time
not a single ray of light has been shed
upon the mystery. Here we are jump
ing on the collar of a nation with
which we are supposed to be on emil
cable terms, yet no one seems to know
why the demonstration was made, still
less why is it persisted in. There
seems to be a chen on" some place,
but no one can locate it.
You can cut the silence of the ad-
minlstration with a knife at this time,
but there was no hesitation, no state
craft, no deep, dark, wiley reticence
when it came to giving out the ''news"
of the assassination, or making public
the prompt and vigorous action of the
government IN ordering the fleet to the
scene Of this tragedy in buckram. Can
it be possible that our administration
of the government is g%arrulous for eff
ect upon the public mind, and that it
becomes msjestically reserved only
when there are blunders to concealP
Think it over.

Letter from Washington.

There Is considerable discussion here
over the fact fhat the plutocratic press
of The country is especially eoamored
of the remark made by Gov, DHrbin, Of
Indiana, the other day, that, ''the mar
who violently a@ssalls, by word or deed,
the laws of the country such as ours
commits a crime not only of infamy
but of insanity"
The opinion exisis here that the
above comes with rather poor grace
from Gov. Durbin, who has refused t.
honor the requisition OF the state OF
Kentucky for one of the men accused
of the murder Of Gov. Goebel, when
the law and the constitution requires
the perpetrators of such crimes to be
delivered up to justice. Is he hardly a
fit man TO read lectures on what Is
right and wrOngf Il is admitted that
to violently assail a law that Is robbing
the people of the United States, such
as the Dingley tariff law, is a crime
~ the trust msgnates who profit by it.
To denounce the laws 10 several states
that tax the small home and the little
personal property of the poor man on
Its full value, aud let the corporations
and the millionalres off with only pay
ing 20 or 80 per cent, is insanity &C
cording TO Hanna and the republican
leaders IN Ohio, To all such the law
Of their wn making is to sacred to be
tempered with, and Gov. Durbin only
echoes the cry of The trusts aud cor
porations, who, in most cases, have
paid for the unrighteous laws passed
by republicans, and the shoe is begin
ming to pinch when the people are cry
ing out against them, and hence the
howl by the governor of Indiana, who
stands for everything the trusts de-
mand. If the people of Indiana like
that sort Of thing and that sort OF gov
ernor, they may continue 10 worship
their own fetish, and the thinking peo-
pie Of this country will draw their own
conclusions concerning the mental COD
dition of Indiana's population.

There is considerable adverse CON-
ment gong on here anert the attempt
OF prominent republican politicians to
select the democratic nominee for the
presidency next year. Not long ago
the Hon. Shelby NJ. Cullom, f ininois,
United States Senator, came out in an
interview and proclaimed that Senator
German Yves the ideal democrat to
nominate for presidency by the demo-
Gratis. There is no sbrewder or more
adroit politician III the Congress Of the
United States than Cullom. He SAID
in that interview that Il am convinced
that German has the real welfare Of the
nation deeply at heart, learned that
at the { ime the Wilson Tariff measure
was up for passage. 1t was he who
saved our amendments to that bill "
The democrats who have been to this
city in The past few days are comment
ing on this statement by the leading
republican from the state of Illinois,
and saying that il is pretty good dem
osratic policy to do the things those
kind of republicans repudlate and not
do the things they advocate. When
the democrats Of the country have Ia
take their nominees from among the
men republicans want to see nominated
then the democracy IS IN a pretty bad
row for stumps, and would do well tc
either repudlate republican suggestions
or else 60 into the hands of = receiver.

German Conditions of Labor

According to the Berlin correspond >
ent of the London Times the condition
of the working classes in Germany,
notwithstanding recent social legisla-
tion, which many of them regard as
very inadequate, does not compare
very favorably with that of the same
classes in England and America
An English or American skilled work
man would on no account exchange
lots with his German comrade for
the sake of small pension in old
age and state aid i'll case of sickness
and disablement As for the position
of the women, it is still miserably in
ierior to that of their sisters in Eng
land and America, and there is at
present an agitation in favor of reduc-
ing the daily hours of work from elev-
en- to ten. A Prussian minister of
commerce can still declare, as Herr
Moller did the other day at Cologne,
1.-The consolation of the working elias
ses is that the man who is industrious
can improve his position, and this
so one of the reasons why | am bitter

people who are the victims of over
work. There is therefore no reason
for being anxious to limit the hours

A Large Increase.

What the harvest home festival
is III the realm of nature, yesterday s
membership a"cessions to the Presby-
terian church was in the realm of re-
ligion. The day was CHEEKY joyous
season ocoasioned by the garnering of
large spiritual harvest. The gospel
seed has been faithfully sown by peo-
pie, pastor and evangelist, and an
abundant increase is the visible re-
suit
Seventy five persons were received
into the fellowship of the church,
seventy -four of whom became mem
bers by either renewal of covenant or
profession of faith This number is
to be later augmented by many others.
The two sexes were nearly equally
represented in the total number, there
being thirty seven males and thirty
eight females. Young men and men
were noted i'll the former class in n
most encouraging proportion, seventy
three per cent being over fifteen years
of age. This splendid additional
force added to an already efficient
membership will greatly enlarge the
scope of influence and activity of a
congregation that has always been a
forceful factor in the communities
higher life and progress.
