by Rev. Seaton from the 14th
chapter OF Job. 1t was the largest
funeral ever seen in Des Arc. Mr..
Pate had been a member of the
Baptist church at this place about
six years, and lived a pure Christ
ian life; as Bro. Seaton remarked
in his sermon, his life was an open
book; never did he do anything
that he was ashamed for the world
to know. He was 20 years of age,
and was married five years ago to
Miss Augusta Gill, of Patterson,
Mo. They had two children who
preceded their father to a better
world. Mr.. Pate was formerly a
member of the Woodmen, but
withdrew his membership about a
year ago, as he did not believe in
secret societies. But his wife will
be well taken care of, as her par
ents are well-to-do farmers neal
Patterson, where she will make
her home. They will be sadly
missed by their many friends in
Des Arc. MI. Pate was superin-
tendent of the Baptist Sunday
school at this place, and will be
missed so much by his scholars.
When they met last Sunday all
the school was in tears for their
much loved superintendent. 1t
will be hard to fill his place. MI.
Mckee said that in all his life he
had never experienced so sad a
scene; to see his friend in danger
and not be able to help him when
he called. May God bless his
heart-broken widow and mother
and all his relatives. Among the
relatives and friends here to attend
the funeral were the following
Mrs. Pate, the mother, Walter and
Clifton Pate, Frank Pate and wife,
two sisters, Mrs. Ella McCulluh
and Miss Jewel Pate, all OF st
Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Gill
of Patterson; Clyde Gill, of Ca
r~uthersville, and Irwin Gill, o

A SPECIAL from Pennington,
dated the 18th, to the Republic con-
tanned this highly interesting in
formation:
At a meeting of the Board of
Managers of State Hospital for the
Insane, No. 4, located in this city,
which was held here yesterday,
Doctor w. F. Kuhn of Kansas City
was elected as successor to Super
intendent Frank L. Keith, and w.
w. Waters of New Madrid was
chosen to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Secretary
M. G.. Gresham. Soon after the
converting of the board requests
were sent to every official OF the
institution to resign, with the ex-
ception of Treasurer w. N. Flem-
ing. Superintendent Keith, AS
sistant Superintendent Frank S.
Vernon and Secretary Gresham
Immediately complied with the re-
quest of the board, but Steward
Joseph Hoeken declined. Action
on the refusal of Mr.. Hoeken was
deferred until July 1, the date for
the next meeting of the board.
Nj Vernon's resignation was not
acted upon and all consideration
of that matter was indefinitely
postponed. Treasurer w. N. Elem
ing was reelected, as was also
Mrs. Maggie L. Gray of Freder-
icktown, who occupies the po-
sition of matron. Instructions
were issued by the board to the
new superintendent, Doctor Kuhn,
to employ Mrs. w. w. Waters,
wife of the new secretary, as SUI
perioress, a position with duties
similar to those of matron.

THE RUSSIAN DoUMA.

Today-Sat urday. August IBIS a
great day in the history of Russia 1t
will go down in history as the date on
which Gar Nicholas granted repre-
sentative government to his people.
While the douma, or Russian congress.
will not be as powerful as the legisla-
tive bodies in other countries. its crea-
ton marks the abolition of absolute
monarchy in Russia. Hereafter the peo-
pie will have a voice in their own gov
eminent. Through the douma they will
have the power to initiate reforms, and
while the czar will undoubtedly reserve
to himself the right of absolute veto, no
ruler will feel like exercising it to any
great extent in opposition to popular
sentiment as expressed through the
douma.
To what extent the various classes
will be represented in the douma is not
yet apparent. 1t seems that there will
be considerable distinction between
the landed class, the urban population,
and the serfs or peasants. The wisdom
of this distinction win depend upon its
administration. 1t can be readily seen
that to place the ignorant serfs, who
are vastly in the majority, on an equal
ity with the more educated classes,
might invite disaster at the start, but
if the discrimination is wisely adjusted
and administered it will doubtless be
beneficial.

pHE PROSPECT FOR PEACE.

Reports from Portsmouth are not
especially fattering to the cause of
peace. 1t may be possible that both
sides are playing a gigantic game of
bluff, but the indications are that I'M
less President Roosevelt steps in and
again exercise his good offices to
effect a compromise the negotiations
may be called off and the war con-
tinue.
1t is to be hoped that there may be
sufficient mutual concessions to enable
the ENJOYS to part as friends and not
as enemies. Otherwise a most dis
astrous war must continue, with great
suffering and loss of life, to say MOTH
ing of the financial cost. There is the

and Japan.
There are two chief stumbling
blocks in the way of peace. One is the
| cession of Sakhalin island to Japan
and the other is the payment of in
demnity. If an agreement can be
reached on these points, the minor
ones on which the ENJOYS are still apart
can probably be arranged without diff

one can hardly censure Russia for OBJ

Theater for the Insane.

The theater of ST. Anne has just OPP
ened its doors for the summer season.
You will not find such a theater on the
boulevards, and I doubt if the Autome-
don of the taximeter ever heard of it.
1t is certainly a theater of a somewhat
special sort. Its audience are all mad
people. St. Anne is an insane asylum
on the outskirts of the city. In the
summer little theater is set up in the
great courtyard of the institution. and
every Sunday evening plays are given
for the delectation of the inmates. They
take kindly to the entertainment, and
even applaud in the right place. The
theater plays it's part in mental treat
ment in several of the asy1ums. At the
AISLE de Villejuif. artistes from the
Paris theaters beguile the evenings of
the patients, and at Charenton the same
humane ideas prevail. Salpetricre, the
famous hospital for female mysteries,
has it's costume balls and entertain
ments, in contrast to the old regime,
whereof print exists to show its hor-
rors. The picture represents the wretch
ed women shut up in cages like wild
beasts, their food being thrust ill be-
