ject.
One of the important witnesses yesterday
was Representative Richard Graham of
Joplin: Originally Graham was aligned me- with
Phelps man, but since the session Of the
General Assembly he has generally been re-
garded as friendly to Phelps. He was one
of the best-known and most conspicuous
of the Filpinos.
Down in the Fifteenth Congressional Dis
trict there has been much talk concerning
a deposit for 5000 which Graham and his

trouble in explaining his deaf. He denied
that Phelps had used any undue influence
with him. but said that his own relations
with Speaker Whitecotton were responsible
for the Filipino revolt In the Fifteenth Dis

Another witness who was expected to tell
something of interest to Joplin people was
j. V. Davis OF Kansas City. According 10
report, he knew of $4,000 block of street
railway stock. which was paid to a promi-
nent politician in that section Of the State.
Yesterday he explained that his informa-
ton was chiefly hearsay. 1t Is not known
whether the matter will be investigated

Together With a Stock of Goods

Destroyed.

A fire occurred at the home of J.
l.. Eddings, near Bladen, few days
ago, which it is generally believed
was the work OF incendiaries. and
everything that the unfortunate gem
tleman possessed was destroyed.
Mr. Eddings conducted a store and
resided in the second story. He was
only about forty feet away when the
fire was discovered, but before he
could enter every earthly thing he
possessed was destroyed, including
the stock which was valued at $3.50.
$156 in cash, and all the household
effects.
Mr.. Eddings is strongly of the opin-
ion that the store was fired but has
not the slightest idea who the guilty
parties are. The fire first began on
the outside of the store, and in only a
few minutes the entire store was
ablaze.
Mr.. Eddings has a large circle of
friends in Brunswick who will regret
to hear of his heavy loss.

up some time ago, and DR.. w. B. Bur-
roughs addressed a letter to VIM.
Mel. Fayssoux, commander in chief
of the Sons of Veterans, andaeh f.i&
reply he staaad;
Il enclose to you copy Of Mhe
constitution of our confederation
which will show you that any male
descendant cam become member,
even Though he may be the great
grandson of one whom participated
IN the Confederate war"
At the meeting yesterday the fol
lowing officers were elected:
