Resident Of few cities in the county are
more proud Of their town than Washingtons,
but they have been deeply huniliated by the dis
coveries that have been made recently by inspec-
tors authorized by law.
Within two or three blocks of the Capitol
building there are slu1ns where human beings,
old and young, exist in great numbers in habita-
tons small and vile to stagger belief. It
has been stated that these buildings are worse
and more overcrowded than any to be found in
New York or Chicago. Since the agitation of
the question of housing the poor it has been found
that the old army barracks, which did duty away

DOOM OF CITIES PREDICTED.

Prepare for shocks. Prophet Edmund 8.

Of dreadful catastrophes which will eliminate in
the destruction of all the cities Of the earth in
the year of our Lord 1892
Mother Earth is not of plumb, according to
this prophet and all the terrible earthquakes that
have occurred and are yet to come due to
the fact that the earth is gradually resuming
its proper position. When this stage of transit
ton is reached there will be earth and a
new heaven referred to in the scriptures.
The prophecy follows:
CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES.
The earth is out of her place, or upright
position. 1t is gradually resuming it, Whenever
there is an accelerated or faster motion then in
that period earthquakes occur We now in

Bees as EmbalmerS.

Bees can embalm as we'll as any
undertaken. All intruders on their
hives are slain and embalmed care
fully.
If worm, or a roach, or any
insect blundcrs into hive, the
bees fall upon him and slay him
with their stings. TO get the
corpse out would be a difficulty;
therefore, cmbalming it, they let it
remain.
The cmbalming process Of the
bees is simple. 1t consists OF GOV
ering the corpse with Il hermetic
coat Of pure wax. Within this
alright envelope the body remains
fresh. 1t cannot in any way con-

The St. Louis Republic IN m
editorial comment on the activities
of Missouri's Republican congress
men, says of Mr.. Roodes, that
even if he should succeed in get,
ting his militia pension bill through
the House. there would be no
earthly chance Of its passing the
Senate. and that "the time for Mr..
Rhodes to do something that would
have counted in his favor was when
the House had it in its power to
confer statehood on Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, when the united
votes Of the Republican members
from Missouri and Kansas would
have accomplished that result. "
We realize, of course, that 10 mat
ter what has been the course in
Congress of Mr.. Rhodes and the
ether Republican members from
this state. it would not please the
Republic, and had Mr.. Rhodes
abandoned his pension bill to sup
port the statehood measure, the
Republic would have charged him
with forsaking his own constitn-
ency. We have all along been I'M
der the impression that Mr.. Rhodes
was elected to represent the people
Of the Thirteenth district Of Mis-
souii, and that his first duty lay
within the boundaries Of that dis
trict, and not out in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. Whatever fav-
orablc sentiment he may have held
for the statehood measure, it was
to tc expected of him, and ju,titi-
ed in him. to sacrifice it to the in
terests of his own people. We may
safely assume that not one voter
in FIVE hundred in Mr.. Rhodes
district is concerning himself as to
! how that gentleman stood un The
! statehood bill, but hundreds ar,
watching closely his conduct i'll be
half Of his militia pension bill! auG
other matters Of more vital lmpor-
tancc to them than the admission
Of western territory into the
union. If he succeeds in getting
his pension bin through the House
only to see it die in the Senate, lh,
odium of its failure will have pass
cd to the latter body, and the vot
crs Of this district will give Mr.
Rhodes due credit for the work h.
has done in behalf of the measure.
70 reiterate, we want a congress
man to represent the Thirteenth
district of Missouri first and Other
sections must be secondary in BIZ
estimation of his duties.
