SAD CONDITION IN URUGUAY.
Revolution Draining the Life Bleed
of the Republic.


The battle at Tapumbac, Uruguay,
in which the casualties approach
2,000 indicates that the revolution
which has been in progress for over
a year has broken out in acute form.
For months the government has been
chasing the rebels, and, having at
last brought them to bay in the prov
ince Of Rivera, near the Brazilian
border, has received a dTubbing at
the hands of the revolutionists. EN-
boldened by their success the rebel
forces will doubtless advance towards
towards Montevideo.
The present war is the outcome of
an election for president. The two
political parties in Uruguay are the
Colorados and the Blancos-the reds
and the whites. In their turbulent
wars Of the last eighty years, in
which time the country has suffered
forty revolutions, they much resem-
BILE the warning houses of York and
Lancaster, which inflicted upon Eng
land the war of the roses. The reds
have been in control of the govern
ment for the last forty years, during
which time the whites have been
lighting to dislodge them. When bal
lots failed they resorted to bullets.
At the last election there was a dead
lock, and the whites thought that
their patient waiting was to be re-
warded by q turn at the public pump.
The reds bribed six white delegates
and elected their own candidate.
The whites considered this a sufficient
casus belli.
Meantime the country Of Uruguay
is the unwilling victim of these con-
finuous revolutions. The schools are
closed, because between them both
sides have drafted all boys large
enough to carry a gun. Business is
at a standstill, and the banks are
timid about accepting deposits. An
appropriation Of a million dollars to
be spent on the Improvement Of the
roads has been diverted to fighting
the revolutionists. The government
will soon find itself in a sad plight
when the French company, now Inn
proving the harbor of. Montevideo,
presents a bill of 81, $4,000 for serv-
ices. When payment Is refused it is
likely that French wan o'ps will drop
into the harbor.

Ground slnks Under Train.

Carthage, Mo-: A Missouri Pacific
train on the CRANKY branch met a
strange accident Wednesday morning
at $50 o'clock between Porto Rico
and Duenweg, in the south part Of
this county. 1t was a mixed freight
and passenger train, and while NOV
ing slowly across a smooth prairie
suddenly the earth gave way, and the
engine. tender and front car dropped
into an unknown subterranean lake.
The engineer ad fireman jumped as
the tender broke loose, the former
clearing and the latter alighting in the
water, but was soon rescued. The ten
passengers knew nothing of what had
happened, as the balance of the train
stopped, and they went to see what
the trouble was. Although near mines,
no mining had ever been done in the
vicinity Of the accident.

Highest Point in the state only 1900
Feet Above Sea Level.

That the highest point in Missouri
is but 1900 feet above the level Of
the sea Is one of the many interest
ing typographical facts discovered by
Mlssourians who examine the large
relief map of the State in the Model
Library in the Missouri State build
ing at the Worlds Fair.
This mountain" is Iron, known by
the residents Of the county as Tom
suck and from It's points radiate the
different geological formations OF the
Central Mississippi Valley.
Another interesting disclosure Is
the evident route traversed by the Mis-
souri, River in past geologic ages. In
the north central part of the State
the Mlssouris present course deviates
from the northeast to the southeast
BY the map can be seen the logical
continuation of its course from the
western border of the State TO a point
between where Hannibal and the Iowa
State line are now situated. which
biologists declare was the original
confluence of the Missouri and AIissis-
sippi rivers. The relief map also
shows that Missouri has lands below
the river Level.

A SENSATIONAL CRIMINAL.

If William Allen Whites sermon"
on the conviction of Senator Burton
fairly indicates the republican ideals
that hold sway in Kansas, Senator Bur-
toms real offense, according to those
ideals, is not that he was a corrupt cor
poration tool, but that he acquired bad
reputation and then allowed himself to
to get caught red handed.
Mr.. White tells us that Burton has
been notorious in Kansas for twenty
years and that his election to the senate
twas due to the influences of railroads"
in Kansas politics, "peremptory orders"
having come out OF Chicago and St.Louis
in the campaign which ended with Bur-
toms election demanding that Kansas
railroad LAWYERS Support Burton or lose
their places" Mr.. White observes in
cidentaly and suggestively that Burton
has been of no assistance to the railroads
that elected him, "tecause he could not
be trusted with any important work and
his connection with even minor meas
ure subjected it to suspicion" The
moral of it for railroads would seem to
be this: When buying Legislator Of
the party in power. buy one OF bad char
acter but of good reputation. Mr.. Bur
ton made the fatal mistake when he set
about building up bad character to
build up bad reputation also. He was
therefore at disadvantage when caught
with discriminating goods in his posses.
sion. How he must have yearned at
that dread moment to be able to exclaim
defiantly, as do pass-taking congress-
men, judges, etc. "Who dare accuse
me of corruption? The corporation
booty has been founl, upon me, do you
say? Granted. But who dare charge
man of my reputation with being cor.
ruptly influenced by corporation booty
in my possession"
