Big Fine Upheld.

St. Louis, April IL, The United

Interurban.

T. j. Crane and William Suit,
of near Philadelphia, were in the
city Saturday afternoon and too
full of the interurban, to be built
between Kirksville and Hannibal
via Philadelphia, to talk anything
but the road that is sure to be
built.
They say; Our share of the mon
ey is raised and it will be all along
the line and Palmyra must come
up, for Western Marion is tired of
being milked. Built, you bet and
in operation in two or less than two
years time. Grade and rails to be
the same as the Burlington. 9th
erS, yes, Bethel and all along the
line just as anxious as we are. It's
a 60 now and nothing will hold it
up.
We were glad to find them feel
ing good, talking good of their sec
ton and having nerve enough to
say some one else must at least do
something besides saying, GIN me,
GIN me"

Two Horses.

The observed of all observers on
South Main street Saturday after
noon was Jack and Bob Mcdonald,
Buckman Bros. stations, that had
just returned victorious from the
Fl. Worth, Texas, horse show, where
they took the blue ribbons in the
saddle and harness rings.
Hundreds of people watched them
the half hour they were on the
streets, for their sleek coats, per-
feet forms, in fact grace in motion,
would have attracted general at
tention at the Derby in England.
They we're sired by the same
horse, their dams are half sisters
and they are a black and sorrel.
1t is a question if two more like
them could be found in this state
or Kentucky.
With sigh, j. B. SChott of Chi
cago, paid the beauties this COM
pliment: IF one wants to see
lovely women or perfect horses,
they must come to Missouri"
John Wood, of Hook & Wood,
with a state and interstate reputa-
ton as a rider has no more easy,
graceful seat in the saddle than has
Charlie Buckman. 1t was those two
gentlemen who were riding the
horses.

Great Change.

Supervision of St. Louis Univer-
sity, the control of which for ninety
years has reposed in a Board of
Directors of the Society of Jesus,
last night was transferred to an ad-
visory board, composed of laymen,
some of whom are not Catholics.
This change in the policy of the
university is the first move of its
sort in the history of Jesuit educa-
tional institutions in the United
States, and, in view of the conserv-
ative principles of the order and its
strict adherence to the Jesuit edu-
cational constitution, many centu-
rieS old, is regarded as an innova-
ton of particular Importance.

home for him. Six nice rooms and

warm as the winds of the Sun
Flower State.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
AS stated in your issue of March
30, | desire to give some practical
information regarding the advisa-
bility Of American citizens selling
their homes in the United States
for the purpose of a bigger" place
and better prospects in Mexico.
Now Mr.. Editor why are people
led to do this? 1t is mainly because
they have been attracted by the
highly colored illustrated hand-bills
depicting in eXtravagant language
The ADVANTAGES of Mexico, the
Paradise Of America" and unless
they sieze the golden opportunity
which is theirs under tempting
offers, they will miss the chance of
a lifetime.
They do not know that these same
hand-bills are manufactured whole
sale by unscrupulous land agents
in Mexico who employ local agents
in every country town in the Unit
ed States and many of these would
at once resign their commission if
they only knew the kind they are
serving under.
AS an Illustration, smooth talk
ing man or woman locates an eX-
pected victim and succeeds in get
ting him to sell out what has taken
him and wife a generation more or
less to accumulate, and invest in
an uncertainty in the land of sun
shine where all fruits grow all the
year round and very little exper-
fence in his new home? makes
him long for the time when he can
get back to the United States and
start all over again, and what ap-
plies to Mexico is the same in all
the Latin Republics, S. A. More to
follow. Yours sincerely,
One who has lived" there.

AUSTRO=SERVIAN
 BREAK NEAR
Russian War Correspondents Go to the
 Balkans to be on Hand.

London, Feb. 19.-The stories of Aus tro-Servian tension and imminent fighting which originate daily in vien- na, Belgrade and elsewhere had a more authentic tone yesterday and seem to contain g. more serious promise of trouble than for weeks past.
 According to a St. Petersburg tele- gram prominent men there take an al- most hopeless view of the prospect of Keeping peace. It is declared that Count Berchtold, the Austro- -Hungar- ian Ambassador, informed M. Isvolsky, Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday that unless Servia stops her menacing preparations for war and demobilizes her troops Austria cannot guarantee the continuance of peace. He added that Austria would not, whatever hap pens, permanently annex Servian ter rftory, but 8 punitive expedition into Servia may be unavoidable and may start any day.
 Several Russian war correspondents have gone to the Balkans.
 Reports from Vienna represent the outlook as being very grave. A very anxious feeling in Austria is that nothing but inability to accomplish her desires keeps Servia from begin ming war notwithstanding the fact that the country is yet in the grip of winter.

SERYIA MUST
 DISARM BY
 FEBRUARY 27
Terms of an Austrian Ultimatum Made Public-Refusal Will Mean War With. in. a Fortnight-Austria All Prepared to Strike.
Special from United Press.\


 London. Feb. 19.-Unless Servia dis arms by Feb. 27 Austria will declare war against her and rush a big army across the frontier. This fact became known to-day by the receipt of the details of a note which Austria. recent ly sent to Belgrade. This conmunica- tion leaves no doubt that Austria will no longer endure the depredations of Servian bands in the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina recently an- nexed by Austria or the firing from the Servian side of the boundary on the Austrian patriots.
 If Austria lives up to the terms of this communication diplomats here say that actual fighting between Austria and Servia may be expected within a fortnight as it is not believed that Servia will comply with all the de- mands that Austria makes.
 There is still hope. however. that the efforts of M. Hergieff Russian minis ter to Servia and Count F'orgach. Aus trian minister to Servia will prevent an outbreak. Sergieff is now in Bel grade trying to- arrange a settlement of affairs and Count Forgach is due to sion.
 The crews of all the Austrian gun boats in the Danube are on a war foot ing and are anchored in a position to menace Belgrade. The Servian ca.bi- net is now in secret session and it is reported on good authority that 1t pre- fers fighting to disarming under com pulsion.
 King Peter is still urging peace but the war party lead by Crown Prince George is just as insistent as ever that the National honor be upheld" Lead CTS of the Russian Pan-Slav League are reported as being in Moscow. and that the Germanic race is threatening the subjugation of the southern Slavs. The latter are adopting the most ur- gent defensive measures.

MAKING MIR. KNOX ELIGIBLE  The nonse Tries to Unravel the Latest
 Tangle.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Immediately after the House met yesterday at Il pollock machinery was set in motion to make Senator Knox eligible beyond dispute for the portfolio of Secretary Df State.
 Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl- vania. reported from the Committee on RuJes a resolution authorizing the con- ferses on the legislative bill to dig out the item relating to the salary of the Secretary of State and consider 1t for correction. and also ito report on any provision in relation to- the law affect ifig said salary
 Mr. ADalzell explained the purpose of the rM1e. It was designed. he said. simply to enable Congress to extricate 1tself from 8 legislative tangle. The rule would permit disagreement to the Senate amendments to the legislative bill and authorize the conferees to con- slider the whole matter with reference to the salary of the Secretary of State and make the necessary adjustments.
 Representative Bourke Cochran of New York suggested that the House pass another legislative. executive and Judicial appropriation bill. identical in all respects save the item for the sal ary of the Secretary of State with the one which already has passed both houses, and send it over to the Senate.
 "But," said MT. Cochran 'this course being consistent with common sense has nothing to commend it to the Cosnmittee on Rules" aThe resolution of the Committee on Rules was adopted. 1892 to 125.
 Representative Fitzgerald of New York succeeded in giving items in the legislative bill for an Under Secretary of State at $10.OO0 and @ Fourth As sistant at the regular rate a black eye. The House. by vote of 151 to IA, in- etructed the conferees to disagree to the inclusion of these items in the bill.
