ARTILLERY

HOSTILE ARMIES eRlPPED IN A
DEADLOCK WHICH rs FEAR
FUL IN EFFECTIVENESS.
While Two Mighty Armies Are Ham
merIng Away, the British Fleet
10 5ombardIna the German
Gun Positions.

Misunderstanding in the Artois and
the Champagne sectors has again dc.
veloped into q fierce artillery duel,
with the hostile armies gripped in q
deadlock which is awe-inspiring for
the effectiveness with which the oppos-
ing armies are holding their respective
positions.
Official reports received from Paris
are barren Of any claim Of advances
made, while Berlin mentions only one
success, the recapture OF section OF
trench which the French took on Tues.
day to the northwest Of Giyenchy.
British attempts to retrieve their
losses Of the day before by attacks
against the Germans north Of Loos
were repulsed with very considerable
losses In killed and wounded" accord
ing to the German general stan.
The center OF artillery fighting In
Artois has moved from the section be.
tween Souchez and Grenay to a point
farther south and now the big guns
are struggling for the mastery along
the front immediately north Of La
Scarpe and to the east of Arras. The
Scarpe river traverses the opposing
lines at a point just north of Arras
and flows east through Vitry and past
Douai
While the two mighty armies are at
tempting to reach solution OF the
issue in trench-to-trench warfare, the
British fleet is hammering daily at the
German right, bombarding with shells
of every caliber the German gun po-
sitions at Westende and Middlekerke.
Reduction of these works or their en-
forced withdrawal is considered here
to be a necessary prelude to an ad-
vance movement on this flank when
the allies offensive is begun.

but 1t is not essential. Pour the hot
starch over one bushel of oats in q
metal tub and stir thoroughly. Let the
grain stand overnight to absorb the
poison.
Distributing Poisoned Grain.
The poisoned grain prepared by
either of the above formulas is to be-
distributed over the infested area, net
more than teaspoonful at a place,
care being taken to put it in mouse
runs and at the entrances of burrows.
Small drain tiles, IL inches in diane
ter, have sometimes been used to ad-
vantage to hold poisoned grain, but
old tin cans with the edges bent near
ly together will serve the same pur-
pose.
Field mice may also be driven away
by thorough cultivation Of fields and
the elimination of fence rows. In the
case OF trees, clean tiIlage and the re-
moYal from the neighborhood of weeds
and grass will prove an effective pre-
caution.

in keeping down the numbers of field

that public sentiment in the United

Officials made it clear that this

threaten a break in diplomatic rela-

known that she will not permit inter

party regained control of the State
government. Not cent of money
has been withheld from the schools OF
the State siEe flat date. The party
has guarded the school fund sacredly,
and not dollar of it has ever been
"looted" or misplaced. The money
has been carefully managed and has
steadily increased from year to year.
Put this down as a fact supported
by the State records: The only time
the school funds of this State were
ever looted was while the Republicans
had control of the State government
and by those State officials whose
duty it was to care for and guard the
funds as sacredly as the Democratic
party had always done before the Re-
publicans came into charge of State
affairs.
The history of the school IN oneys Of
the State during Republican rule is in
teresting reading indeed.

make the people believe. that by this
simple act of justice they reimbursed
the children for school moneys carr
! ried off by Governor Jackson" when
in fact the ''school moneys" were in
vested in bank stock in st. Louis and
could not be carried off, and remained
so until 1866, when the Republicans
sold it to Captain James B. Eads and
used the proceeds for other purposes
than to the benefit OF the common
schools. And in this so-called reim
bursement the Republicans reim
bursed" $306, ,478.35 less than the
amount they had "looted." All this
while the Democratic law 1858 re-
quiring one-fourth of the revenue to
be placed on the credit of the common
schools and distributed annually with
the "School Moneys" stood unrepeal-
ed. The records show that the re-
ceipts into the revenue fund from APP
ril 1, 1867, to March 81, 1872, amounted
to $6,978, ,288 .63. A fourth of this sum,
or 81, ,744, ,571.99, under the law, should
have been transferred to the "School
| Moneys" But the records reveal that
only 81 ,163, ,053.32 was actually trans
ferred during those five years, and
that the school children were ''looted"
out of $5S1,518.17 by the Republican
party, whose newspapers to-day are
falsely accusing the Democratic ad-
ministration of trying to rob the school
fund. These figures, taken from the
records, show that the Republican
party during the years from April 1,
1857, to March 81, 1872, withheld from
the school children of the State SIG,
3O3.6 each year, money to which the
schools of the State were actually and
legally entitled.
LOOTED THE BANK STOCK ALSO.
The "School Fund" owned $661,-
967. SO of stock in The Bank of the
State of Missouri. In 1865 the Repub-
licans sold this stock for $71S, S,235.25.
But it was diverted to other uses than
to aid the school children of the State,
to whom it belonged. The Republican
act Of the Legislature under which
this stock was sold provided that the
proceeds should be invested in United
States bonds, and for the time the
money was not so invested the State
treasury officials were directed to pay
6 per cent interest thereon to the
credit of the "School Moneys Nc
interest was for this purpose paid
During the years 1867, 1868, 1869,
1870, 1871 and 1872 the sum of S43,-
O94.10 was each year illegally with
held from the school children of the
State by the party whose newspapers
to-day have the gall to charge the
Democratic State administration with
trying to "loot" the school fund.
In July, 1872, they issued "certih-
cate Of indebtness" for 100000 to
reimburse the school children for prin-
cipal and interest on their money
which was Illegally withheld and 9TH
erwise used. The amount due, prin-
cipal and interest, was S0T6,709.S5;
amount reimbursed, 5000, 900; short,
s76,700 So. The Republican party
thus exhibited their devotion to the
cause Of public schools OF the State by
dlscounting the debt due the children.
DEMOCRATS AGAIN IN CONTROL.
In January, 1873, the Democratic
