MISSOURI NEWS
ERROR FOUND IN COUNT
Amendment Fixing Payment Of Legis-
Iators Loses by Revision.

Jefferson City.-A clerical error in
the office of the secretary of state
was discovered Wednesday night,
and amendment 1, fixing the pay of
legislators 1t $3.50, which was report
ed carried, is found to have been lost.
The vote of Jackson county gave the
yeas 1919. The clerk read it Co.
1879, passing the bill by nearly 10000
votes.
The mistake is explained through
the fact that the figures were poorly
written and, in the excitement of the
office, resulting from the close race be
tween the Democrat and Republican
candidates for lieutenant-governor
the error was made. The amendment
is defeated by 29,0S7 votes.
The only amendments adopted were
Nos. 2 and 8. The former is the initia-
tive and referendum, with $3.50 ma
jority, and the latter empowers the
levy of an additional tax, for road and
bridge improvement purposes of rs
cents on the 500 valuation, by 35,S6S
majority.

IN MISSOURI.
Seven Are Injured, One Fatally by
Storm in Christian County.

Springfield, Mo.-A tornado swept
through the farming section near
Sparta, Christian county, twenty
five miles south of here Wednesday
destroying fourteen houses, injuring
sever persons and fatally wounding
a three-year-old child.
The wind attained a velocity OF
seventy miles an hour.
Trees were uprooted, fences blown
down and telephone and telegraph
service paralized. Owing to the fact
that the storm occurred soon after
daybreak, there was no loss of life.
The path of the tornado was $50
rods wide and extended eight miles.
The three ~year-old-son of Thomas
Braden was blown against a red hot
stove, when the Braden home was de-
molished, and fatally burned. Mrs.
Braden and two other members of the
family were seriously hurt. The
houses of James Preston, John Nc
Cafferty, Mart Beaman, and George
Hall, and John Carter were totally

FOR CUMM|NS
IOWA GOVERNOR ELECTED U. S,
SENATOR.
EVENT MARKS DAWN OF PEACE
Opportunity to Bury PoIit-
ical Hatchet.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Governor Albert
B. Cummins Tuesday was elected
a member of the United States
senate at a special session of the state
legislature which convened at noon to
name a successor to the late Senator
William B. Allison.
Cummins won the nomination for
senator at the special primary held
in conjunction with the recent cleo
zion. He won over his opponent,
Lacey, by 42,647, according to official
figures.
The selection Of Cummins, politi-
clans predict, will end a long and bit
ter war in Republican politics in Iowa.
Cummins has been a candidate for the
senate for fourteen years. During
that time he has been bitterly opposed
by the standpat faction. In spite Of
the opposition of this faction which
has been able to control the legisla.
ture and defeat him for senator, he
has been elected governor.
1t is declared that the standpatters
will accept the election as a chance
to Eury the Ratchet.

Useful KNOWLEDGE,

When you are caught emerging
gaily from a bar by n whose good
opinion you so ardently desire-rich
uncle, for instance, or somebody of
that ilk-you doubtless give explana-
tons of your action which are en-
barrassing and u%nconvincing. Hence
you should patronize a certain bar
which provides the two best excuses
possible. When caught emerging from
it the first time you simply remark:
"Ah! one of the most beautiful
paintings in art is behind yon drink
dispensary. Really, l have to drop
in at least ono a week to gaze upon
it. Honestly, the technique, compo-
sition, grouping, ~chiaroscuro, and
ETC., ad lib.

WILL ASK $4,000
SECRETARY WILSON TO COMBAT
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
SITUATION REGARDED AS SERIOUS
Authorities Fear Disease Which is
Now in Four States Will Become
General Epidemic.

Washington, D. Csc serious is
the situation regarded by Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricui-
ture that he will ask for an emer-
gency appropriations Of 100000 for
immediate use in combating the foot
and mouth disease which is now
known definitely to exist among cat
tie in Pennsylvania, New York, Mich
igan and Maryland.
DR.. S. E. Bennett, chief of the gov
eminent inspection service at Chicago,
Friday diagnosed the disease in a
bunch of cattle at Linesboro, Nd, as
the foot and mouth disease, and Sec
rotary Wilson will return to Wash
ington from Detroit Saturday for a
conference with Maryland state Off
Gals as to precautionary measures.
1t is altogether probable that England
will quarantine against the port of
Baltimore.
The disease threatens to become
generally epidemic, and government
officials are convinced that it will de-
velop in other states, Notwithstanding
favorable reports from state officials.
The federal authorities are taking no
chances, but are pursuing the same
methods they did in 1902 and 1903,
when the disease broke out and caused
great loss in four states of New Eng
land.
The disease is now officially known
to exist in only four states, but the
authorities believe it will develop in
New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio and Indi-
ana in the next few days.

The Elder Aequalntance.

The wagons of the greatest show
on earth passed up the avenue at
daybreak. Their incessant rumble
soon awakened 1~0-year-old Billie and
his five-year-old brother, Robert. Their
mother feigned sleep as the two
wh~ite-robed figures crept past her bed
into the hall, on the way to investi-
gate. Robert struggled manfully with
the u~naccustomed task of putting on
his clothes.

heard him beg, You'll get ahead of
me-"
Get mother to help you" counseled
Billie, who was having troubles of his
own.
Mother started to the rescue, and
then paused as she heard the voice
of her younger, guarded but anxious
and insistent:
you ask her. Billie. You've known
her longer than l have."-Every-

WRITER SHOOTS HERSELF.
Mrs. Cowper Had Written Friend Of
Planned Suicide at St. Regis.

New York, N. Y.-Mrs. B. M.
Cowper, a writer of some note and a
guest at the st. Regis, Friday put a
bullet into her head in her room
there and lay on her bed for several
hours until a friend, whom she had
notified of her intention, rushed to the
hotel and notified the management of
what had happened. She was dying
when the management broke open the
door.
An old friend who formerly lived in
Middletown, N. Y, her W home, to
whom she had written a letter telling
him that she was about to put an end
to her life, jumped out of a cab and
ran up to the clerks desk in the no.
tel, gasping that Mrs. Cowper had al
ready or was about to shoot herself.

Ask Prohibition Election.

Jefferson City.-The question of a
prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition, providing for a statewide in
hibition of the manufacture or sale of
intoxicants within the state, is to be
brought before the ensuing session of
the general assembly.
A resolution to that effect, asking
that the voters of the state be per-
mitted to express themselves thereon
at the polls, is to be introduced in the
senate. 1t will be offered by Senator
Peck of the First district, who is
seemingly not dismayed by his failure
to get such a resolution through the
last session. The senator, at that time,
did not ven succeed in getting his
resolution to a vote.

BANDITS DEFY A TOWN.
Gang Gets Away With Big Sum Taken
From Bank at Sweet Springs.

Sweet Springs.-A posse is still
securing the woods in search of the
five bandits who broke into the bank
of Sweet Springs, held the citizens at
bay for almost an hour, and left with
a booty of almost $4,000 Sunday
morning.
The yeggmen secured their tools
from a Missouri Pacific water tank
Toulouse, the section house and the
Fisher Implement company. 1t re-
quired four charges to wreck the
safe, a piece of it being blown through
a front window for a distance of 100
feet. The bandits overlooked $500 of
$4,000 that was in the safe.
When citizens were awakened, rob-
bers on guard fired enough shots to
intimidate them. AS they left town
they fired several volleys, and it was
a good twenty minutes before the pur-
suit was taken up.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The model mine Of
the world has proven a failure and
probably 40 men are dead beneath
its w~reckage as the result of an ex-
plosion. Officials of the Pittsburg-
Buffalo company which owns the mine
say there are only 1876 men in the mine
but workmen who have come from
down in the works, declare there are
at least 200 dead bodies down in the
bottom of the pit. The mine was ip-
spected less than an hour before the
explosion.
The slight hope that some of the
entombed miners will be rescued alive
was strengthened when an American
miner was brought to the surface,
suffering only a little from his terrible
experience. One of the rescuing par
ty reported that there were other
men alive below and then rescuers
were set to work clearing away the
debris. From the condition of the
workings where the survivor was dis
covered, Deputy State Mine Inspector
Henry Loutitt believes that 20 others
may be saved.
There is no telling who the victims
are. The majority of them are Eng
disappearing men. Some of them are
Polish and Slavish. Until the bodies
are brought out the company will per-
nit no names to be given out.
Unlike other mine explosions in the
Pittsburg district, this one did not
occur away under some high hill
where the bodies were hidden from
sight for days. The Mariana mines
all Of them, are just in course of con
struction, and all that has been done
was the driving of the entries.
This was pay day and the men were
They were busy driving entries and
none of them were more than 400 feet
from the mouth of the shaft, This
would have made the work of rescue
comparatively easy had it not been
for the terribly destructive force of
the explosion.
Ten of the bodies were recovered in
the main entry and at the foot of the
shaft, awaiting the temporary cage
to bring them to the surface.
Others were lying in the 20 rooms
or workings of the mine, entrance to
which is still blocked by debris.
The first rescuing party worked its
way through the wreckage at the foot
of the shaft and almost Immediately
found the ten bodies.

ElGHT-HoUR LAW HELD INVALID.
Men Who Wish to Work Longer Have
Right, Court Says.

Tulsa, Oklahoma. - Oklahoma's
eight-hour law is believed to have re-
ceived a knockout blow through the
decision of a local court Friday. In
a test suit, brought by local union Ia
Dor officials, the New State Paving
Co., which has a large contract for
paving here, was acquitted of law vio-
lation.
In defense the company showed that
its men were anxious to work more
than eight hours and the contention
was upheld. The labcring men say if
this view of the law is upheld 1t will
be rendered worthless.
