fcLTwtl Jleetlnj; Thursday Night at tlie Court House. A small crowd gathered Thursday in response to the call issued by Mr. Duran to discuss the "Missouri on Wheels" movement. T. J.

Lingle, chairman, called the meeting to order and James W. Avery was made Secretary. The object of the meeting was stated and Mr. Faris told what other towns were doing in the way of raising funds to promote the success of the scheme. Kansas City has raised Independence, Warrensburg, $500; Sedalia $1,000: and Jefferson City, $500.

One man at Poplar Bluffs gave $100, and St. Louis promised at least $7,500. After a general discussion the chairman appointed three committees which were given special parts of the work. These committees were as follows: On Finance Dr. Geo.

Y. Salmon, chairman; J. C. Lepscum, Jos. Pollock, W.

B. Calvird, Dr. C. II. Watkins and Chas.

The following resolution was then adopted: Resolved, That as we have been as-surred by Mr. Duran, representing the Headquarters of the "Missouri on Wheels" movement, that it is necessary that Clinton take immediate action toward securing exhibits, the committees are instructed to pro ceed at once with the discharge of their several duties and the Finance Committee is especially urged to take action. FORMED A REPU3LC. Cuban Insnrpent la Confwrenoe Organize, a Complete Government.

Philadelphia, Aug-. 24. News has been received in this city that a complete g-overnment has been formed by the Cuban insurgents at Xajasa by a conference of the delegates from all five of the provinces on the island. The conference was presided over by Gen. Maceo, and other leaders present were Antonio Tuilo, Carillo and Gomez.

A constitution was adopted which, because of its liberal provisions, was enthusiastically received by all the armies in the nem, to wnom it was read. The instrument provides for five states in Cuba, each to have charge of its local affairs under a local gov eraor. The general government of the island will be vested in a president and cabinet and two houses similar to those of this country. -Xajasa will be the capital, because it is well situated fcr defense. NO CROP BULLETIN.

Some One lias lleen Sending Out Unauthor ized Report. Washington, Aug. 24. The chief of the division of statistics of the arri- cultual department declares that there has been no dispatches of any kind whatsoever since August 10, relating to crops EDd their condition, author ize I U3 any one connected with that division. This is afSrmed and venued by the secretary.

The above statement is given out in contradiction of the rumor that since the issue of the crop report on the lOtl of tha month the department of agri culture has increased its estimate of the winter wheat crop one-half bushel per acre, which would aggregate for the entire country nearly 11.003.00J bushels. The published estimate still adhered to and no intimation ol anv change in the original figure have been given out. TO OU3T INTRUDERS. The Indian A Kent Ordered to Kject Those In the hickaxaw Nation.

AT YOUR DEALERS. Sooy Selz Charlie Noll, of the WwUl Indignantly denies his cow sawdust, and can Deepwater having fed prove that he never owned a cow. The Nevada Mail wanted to run a 'Vuessintf contest" with a watch and rlnn as prizes, but the postofliee department interferred, claiming the publication of the details was an infringement of the lottery laws. After a fitful nickering for 15 years, the Helton leader has gone out of existence. One well supported paper will better represent Helton's progress than two starvelings.

Quality not quantity is the true rule In newspapers as in everything else. And now it is claimed thot Boss Fiiley, "de ole man" himself, is contemplating entering journalism and may become financially interested in the Springfield lupuhlican. This may be a good thing for Fiiley, but it's tough on journalism. The following from the ITumans-vllle Star-leader indicates that it has quit swapping across the back fence with one of its neighbors: "Our thanks are hereby tendered the Collins Enterprise for kindly allowing us to pay the return expressage on some of our material which he borrowed in the early spring." Hon. John W.

And now every mail brings Mr. Jack letters and resolutions rom indignant colored citizens of African descent. There is a touch of the airy don't car-a-blankitiveness in the following from the Lincoln limes which reminds us of the Arizona Ikker editorials. "We are going to run the Times as we like, in spite of Hades and high water.

"We are not meddling with other people's business nor do we propose to have our busines meddled with. If you are done, we have no more to say, but if we are compelled to go on the war path again we can soon mix the paint." The Louisiana rrcss goes after the icker after this sturdy fashion: 'Intelligence reached this office by grape vine telegraph that the Press said something Friday that didn't )leasc everybody. Now do you know that if we thought we had to say something in every issue that would please everybody we would swap our editorial tripod for a walking stick and go tramping for a living. It is only when a newspaper says some thing that don't please anybody that is in danger." Campaign Lies. In his speech at Louisville Monday night W.

O. Bradley, Republican can didate for Governor of pared the country's exports last fiscal year and in 1393-4 to prove the disas trous effects of the Wilson bill on our foreign trade. Mr. Bradley doesn't seem to know that the Wilson bill was not passed until near the close of August and that portions of it did not go into effect until January of this year. The losses and reductions in our exports during the last fiscal year belong almost entirely to 1894 and largely to the months of July and August.

We have been gaining ground all along since the opening of the snow blockade in the first half of February Our exports of domestic merchandise last month amounted to over (XX), a gain of nearly 84,000,000, or about 7 per cent, over last year's ex ports under the McKinley tariff law Gome back ionr months, we unci an increase from $228,440,000 to $235,628, 000. Nor is the comparison made with a year of light exports. During the first half of 1S93, immediately preceding the panic of that year, our foreign shipments amounted to little more than $378,000,000. The amount reported for the first half of the present year under the Wilson tariff law is $379,200,000. Mr.

Bradley is misrepresenting facts, too, in saying that "in the lt3 articles produced by the farmer there was a railing oil or some six hundred and odd millions to our loss by reason of this tariff bill." The decrease for the fiscal year on all exports was only $76,000,000 not $84,000,000 as stated in another part of tle gentlemen's speech and we have already said that it belongs for the most part to the period when the McKinley law was still in force, wholly or in part Notwithstanding our crop shortage last fall we are exporting more farm products man we were a year ago under tne bill, in July last year our corn exports amounted to bushels, valued at Last month's shipments reached 3,894, S.7 bushels, valued at 000,000. Here is a big gain in quanti ty and a still greater one in values Our barley exports increased from 10, 000 to 52.j,00o bushels, representing last year less than $9,000 and this year $2'K)1000. In oats and oatmeal together our gain was from less than $24,000 to over $13 ooo. We also in creased our rye exports and the only decrease in breadstuffs was in wheat and flour. While the loss here was considerable, it does not offset the gains on the other articles mention ed St.

isi'us Jtcpwjiic. Urlcf News Note from rtcu Spot. America' The postofliee receipts of Osceola evince a healthy growth in that lovely little city. From Ilarriaonville comes the cry for more houses, so prevalent in southwest Missouri cities. The machinery of the Gulf roller mills of Springfield has been sold for $5,500 to a Holla man and taken to the latter place.

This mill has been idle for a year past. Harrisonville man has found eleven walnuts in one bunch. They generally grow in pairs, but the usual rule don't hold good this year with anything that grows. The United States Revenue Collector for the Southern Missouri dis-irict conveys the assuring information that the crop of peach brand" will be larger than usual. Progressive Nevada voted a new electric light and street car franchise by to 3b.

That thirty-six ought to emigrate to Kansas. A wail of distress comes over from Benton county because the watermelon crop, while as large as usual, is not up to the usual standard for that section. High water threw the Osceola gravel company forty cars behind with its orders, but it is now catching up. Much of the output is shipped to Kansas City. Prof.

J. C. Ryan has resigned the school commissionership of Johnson county, and moved to Texas, and R. W. Selvidge, a young Holden pedagogue, has been appointed by Gov.

Stone to serve out the unexpired time. The July business of the Blair line at Osceola shows a phenomenal increase over the same month of the previous year, the aggregate of freight and passenger business being $584.94 in 1804, and in July, 1895. Railroad matters are still in a ferment at ElDorado, and a $12,000 ixmus is about raised to be given to the coaipany that builds to the great outside world. Nevada, Walker and Harwood are all casting sheep's eyes at ElDorado and would like to be more neighborly with her. Walker, in Vernon county has been in a lerment over a mud case of white capping.

A bunch of switches was tied to the door of G. Kelley's hotel with the request to mend his ways. Mr. Ivelley is an old inhabitant of Walker and if an" one tries to climb him, there is likely to be a tragedy. A woman by the name of Barber dropped apparently dead on the street of Jericho, Cedar county, the other da'.

Some of the local doc tors contended that she was dead and others maintained that she was simply in a trance. Finally after keeping the body three days, it was buried, although it was, not rigid and decomposition had not set in. Taken to Appleton City. The remains of John Kneale were taken ta Appleton CitySaturday morning for interment, by his brother, F. Kneale, a prominent farmer living near Ohio postolfice, St.

The deceased owned a fine farm of 200 acres near Ohio postofliee. Diarrhoea should be stopped prompt ly. It soon becomes chronic. le Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure is ef fective, safe and certain. Hundreds of testimonials bear witness to the virtue of this great medicine.

Price 2oc rer box. lor sale by Hale Montgomery. eel 3-d is a James Folk Johnson of Saline City the champion snake-killer of his section. One day last week he killed 110 rattlesnakes, seven old ones and 103 young ones. He found them in a rock cliff.

A five year old son of James Poague living west of Johnstown, Bates county, was bitten in the thigh by a venomous copper head snake, but his life was saved by prompt and hard work. Clinton Allison, of near Louisiana, can put up a good snake story when he tries. He baited a trap for mice the other night and the next morning found a rattler and a live mouse in the trap. On dissecting the snake three more mice materialized. The Nevada 1'ost, which is an authority on snakes of all kinds, says: "With the exception of the coral snake of Florida, all sharp-tailed snakes are harmless and should not be killed, as many of them prey upon the rattlers, the copperheads and the vipers.

It is only the blunt-tailed snakes which make trouble by their bites." The Warrensburg Star spins a story of a thrilling light between a negro, Ben Brockman, and a rattler. Ben and the snake were opposite each other, with a board fence between, when the fight began. Ben gathered stick and a and the snake, after rattling a few seconds jumped clean over the board fence at his an tagonist. Ben went back a few feet and threw his rock, striking the monster on the head and felling him at oneblow. Alf Shryack, hearing the noise and rattling of the snake, came to the assistance of the negro, and his snakeship was soon dispatched.

Alf took off the rattles, eisht in number, and now carries them in his pocket. George Shryack carefully skinned the snake and now wears it as a belt. It measures about 3 feet. Old man Bradley took the body and rendered it, extracting the oil therefrom, and now has enough rattlesnake oil for familv use the balance of his life. MISSOURI ITEMS.

Boone county's poultry show will be held thelatter part of November. Centralia has decided to hold a fair the last week in September. Lafayette county's wheat crop shows up an average of about fourteen bushels an acre. Several farmers in the Centralia neighborhood have contracted their corn at $1.25 per barrel. Saline county has 11,037 school children and the State contributes $10,222 this year toward theireduca-tion.

Rev. Dr. Pope Yeaman, president of Grand River college, has accepted the pastorate of the Baptist church at Gallatin. Potatoes seven and one-half inches long and ten inches in circumference are the kind the Saline county farmers bring to town for the Marshall plutocrats to feed on. Columbia's fancy new postofliee is to have a tiled floor, oak fittings, combination boxes and everything else necessary to make it ihe best of its class in the State.

Kenneth Bazemore had the good fortune to receive a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy when three members of the family were sick with dysen tery.

All hail to that Nebraska editor-postmaster, V. II. Korns, of Teka-mab, who resigned his $1,300 post-ofllce in order to give closer attention to his editorial duties.

The ca9e is only paralleled by that Benton county preacher-editor who gave up his paper to devote his entire time to the pulpit. Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, seems to be having things his own way among the Democrats in that State. At the State Democratic Convention held at Springfield, Ohio, this week, a State ticket was nominated on an anti-silver platform. The silver sentiment didn't materialize to any great extent, so completely was the Convention xmder the control of the Brice crowd.

The ticket nominated is as follows: For Governor Ex-Governor James E. Campbell. For Lieutenant Governor John B. 1'easley. of Cincinnati.

Dr. llearnes who seems to have a peculiar knack of getting money by dubious ways, imagined that he ould sue the editor of the Cltronich for $100,000 and recover that much money for a damaged character. As evidence that the doctor didn't have a character worth that much money, it is only necessary to state that he and his wife are in jail at Palmyra, having been indicted for the murder of Amos J. Stillwell, the Hannibal tork packer, the former husband of Mrs. llearne.

The Confederate Homo. Recently James R. Schell and Jas McManess, two Confederate soldiers, told the Springfield camp of Confed erate Veterans that Superintendent Carsell was prone to drunkenness and with certain inmates was carrying on frequent carousals. The camp ap pointed a committee to investigate, Maj. II.

W. Salmon, Vice Fresident of the home, arrived in Clinton this morning and when asked by a Demo- Chat representative as to the matter, stated that a full investigation had been made and Superintendent Car sell entirely exonerated. So far from being a drinking man, he is notably abstemious, as all his old comrades at arms will recall. His administration of the affairs of the Home was found entirely honorable and efficient, and It was only regretted that the Spring Held camp dignified these slandrous charcesbv paying any attention to them. They IJoth Want Him.

The past week Tebo Baptist Asso ciation met near Clinton and the St Clair Association met at Monegaw Springs. Both Associations elected Rev B. B. Russell as missionary for the ensuing year. The reverend gentle man's success in missionary work in this vicinitv has been so remarkable that his brethren south of the Osage extended the invitation, "Come over into St.

Clair and help ns." The Democrat does not doubt that abundant opportunities for sav ing grace exist in St. Clair county indeed the need of a missionary there is very great. But Henry countv axid the Tebo Association can't spare "Parson" Russell, and we trust he will decline to change hi field of work. A Close Call.

The large Culberson store right acrom the street was entirely destroyed, several times the Savanna Company's store was on fire, but the heroic work of Henry Feckinpaugh, formerly of thU county, saved it.
