Rescued From Dire Peril.
Southampton, Dec. 22. The Xoith
German Lloyd steamer Spree, with
tho passenger aud crew of the
the burned steamer Abyssiuia on
board, arrived Lero at a late hour to
night The passengers aboard the
Abyflsinia lirnt heard of the. firo last
Friday afternoon. The Kt earner was
then on fire at both ends. Three
hours latrr the steamer Spree was
righted and she was asked to take
iff the Abyswinia's passengers and
crew. The Spreo immediately sent
her boats to the rescue and all on
board were safely transferred to the
Spreo with the exception of one sea
man, whojumped overboard and was
drowned.
As tluro was then not the slight
est chance of saving the Abyssinia
she was abandoned and the spree
proceeded on her voyage.
Perfect discipling was maintained
aboard the Abbsiuia uud there was
no excitement among the passengers
on the discovery of the fire.
The rescued passengers are full of
gratitude for the kindness with which
they were treated b the captain of
tho spree, to whom they have pre
sented a testimonial.
Tho fire was discovered by the of
ficers at noon on Friday. The flames
had then gai'ied such headway that
they soon spread over the whole ves
sel. The origin of the fire is un
known, but it is attributed to spon
taneous combustion in the cargo of
cotton. All of the Abyssinia's pas
sengers were lauded here.

Looking Westward.
The growth of the west eiuce the
war lias been the boii6t of the nation
and marvel of the world.
History affords no parallel to its
increase in population, development
in agriculture, advance in material
prosperity, magic rise of great cities
and addition of new states.
Ir 1870, when the first federal
census nfter the war was taken, there
were, pioperly speaking, twelve,
western f tates. To day there are
nineteen.
Theu th air cremate population of
the west, including the territories, !
was 13,000,000, or about a third of j
total population of the country. Now j
it is more than 25,000,000, or nearly
half of the whole.
It is true that the east aud south
have more electoiial votes than tluy

render obvious the advantage of a
wentem over au eastern candidate.
Tin' republicans have not failed to
reognize or appreciate the impor
tance of these consideration except
on one occasion. Every campaign
since the war they have taken their
leader from the west except in lSS-t.
They met defeat only when they
made an exception to their general
rule.

their wounds, will be punished to
the utmost legal limit.
For the past few nights there has
been unwonted activity abc ard the
Chilian war ships in this harbor.
The crews have been roused from
their ipnuters, electric lights have
been thrown into the forts and the
sailors have all been armed with
Maunlicher rifles. Extra vigilance
has been shown also iu guarding the
arsenal. All these things have been
done as a matter of precaution and
to prevent any attempt at a row
when President Moutt is inaugurat
ed to morrow. The formation of
the new cabinet by Ramon Burros
Lucos is regarded with the greatest
favor. It is believed that the finau
cial scheme of the bankers will pro
pose the payment of customs duties
iu silver after June 1, 1892.
The text of Presideut Harrisou's
speech made when receiving the
Chilian ministers produced aa ex
cellent impression here except as re
gards some minor points. The pro
vincial government to-day before re
signing presented to the 6euaU au
amnesty law in favor of ail Balma
cedists except those accused by
congress, a few military lieutenants
and couimou criminals. This was
done despite knowledge of the ef
forts of the refugees at the American
legislation to create disturbance

er" Union of Henry County has ap
pointed a committee to louk nfter
Hon. D. A. DArmond's course in
congress. The committee will reed
more watching than JuJgi DeAr
uiond. Thid thing of appointing a
smelling comuiittee is ridiculous
Any person with common seiiSL- can
know what a ciniessiiiau is doinji
by reading tho uewspapers, and the
farmer who do-s uot care enough for
public affairs t o read the newspapers
will not be interested in the report
of a committee. We take it for
granted that Missouri congressmen
have sense enough and honesty
enough to demean themselves prop
erly at Washington. This is the gen
eral reputation our congressmen
have at home, aud Judge DeArmond
is no exception to the rule. He has
beau a prominont man iu the tate
for t le last fifteen 3 ears aud, so far
as integrity aud ability goes, he
ranks among the very best. The
Henry county committee may safely
adjourn with the assurance that
Judge DeArmond neither needs
watcning nor prompting .13 a mem

A New (Jolit Cure.
St. Joseph, Mo., Dec 25. The
National Bichloride of Gold Insti
tute yesterday filed articles of in
corporation, with a capital stock of
50,000. The incorporaters are Dr.
A. Y. Baynes, John Donovan, Jr.,
Geo. Black and Geo. Schneider of
this city and Ira K. Alderman and
Drs. Koch and Campbell of Mary
ville, Mo. The institute will be lo
cated iu this city.
For some time the Maryville phy
sicians have been experimenting aud
they believe they have discovered a
cure for drunkenness which is des
tiued to knock Dr. Keely out in this
part of the world. The St. Joseph
capitalists think so, too, to the ex
tent of their respective investmeHts.
A number of patients have been
treated at Maryville, aud it is said
that the method employed produce
successful results.
A Mysterious Horse Disease.
Rich Hill, Mo., December 25. A
mysterious disease has broken out
among the horses about eight miles
northeast of Rich Hill. The dis
ease is in tha nature of a distemper,
but is reported almost as fatal as
glanders. The legs of the animals
are said to become '"stocky,"' and a
running of the nose with other evil
efieets, speedily ensue. Four head
of W. T Meglassen's horses have
died ajd another is thought to be
afflicted Other aniniils of the same
neighboiivd nr sufferiug from the

taken hold of the farmers of that

A Triple Lynching in an Ala

De Soto, Mis.-., Dee. 2t While
the poste in charge of the Sirus
party were en route to Butler last
night a mob of Choctaw county men
overpowered the po.s and banged
llu- three men. Bob Sims, Tom .Sav
age ami Young Savage. It is report
ed that another of the Savage boys
was bauged at the same time. This
is m addition to John Savajre, who
was hanged on Christmas eve.
Sims Lad agreed to surrender on
j condition that they be protected
1 Ul' toul d give under the
circum
stances. Sims selected twenty-live
I men and the sheriff tweutv-five and
started with them to Butler. About
one mile from Sims' house a body
of men from one t two hundred
strong tock
them from th guard
aud hanged them all three to a tree.
SiiiiS txpivssed fears that he would
never reach the jiil dead ur alive.
When he was placed in th;- buggy
for the fatal ride he refused to be
blindfolded. He held out his hands
and asked them to feel of his pulse.to
see if he was frightened and said he
was going to heaven. Young Savage
said: "If you think enough of me
to bury me, put me by side of Sims;
we are lighting tor the same cause."
The women were turned loose.
All is quiet now. The names of the
Simsites hung are Bob Sims, Tom
Savage, Con Savage and his two
grown ton.
Thus ends the defiance of the
United States, the state of Alabama
and in fact all laws, of notorious
Bob Sims and four of his followers.
TWO MORE OF SIMS SET HANOED.
Shubuta, Miss., Dec. 27. The
lynching etill goes on. John Sims,
brother of Bob, aud Mosely, nephew
of Bob, were both hanged last night
and the avengers arc in hot pursuit
of a negro who was with the Sims
gt.ng thj night of the massacre.
They have burned both the Sims
dwelling and the houses on the
place and killed every living thing
to be found on the place except the
family, and they had to escape to a
neighbor's house.

est blessings and that he will lead
them through the vicissitudes and
wanderings of life and hand them

life. Language cannot express my
feeling to you all for the disinterest
ed love and affection manifested,

shed over his corpse. May these
tears form a rainbow under whose
arch they will travel the rest of the
journey of life. Iu finishing let me
again extend to you and family my
best wishes for your future welfare

Found i Mastodon Tuk
Crawfo! dville, Ind., Dec. 22. The
tusk of a huge mastodon has been
discovered at Darlington, ten miles
north of tho city. The find proves
to be much better than was at first
thought, and promises to be one of
the fiuest ever made in this country.
The tusk was discovered in diumnj;
a well at the residence ot iteortre
Lynch. The tusk was struck by the
drill, and so perfect did the ivory
seem to be thnt they decided that it
had a commercial value and conclud
ed to dig it up. They dug down to
it, about twelve feet under ground,
and found that the tusk that thev
had struck was at least twelve
inches in diameter, and evc-u on the
outside was almost perfectly Pie-
served. The men have already un
earthed about four feet of the tusk
and have found no sign of an end
either way. Judging from that al
leady in view, the tuak is about
fourteen feet in length, and the
finders are confident in their belief
that tho skull and other bones will
ba found in a like stato of preserva
tion, as the whole is submerged iu
living water and covered with clean,
pure sand Several geologist of this
and other cities will make ever' ef
fort to get it out aud mouut it for
the college museum.
The Democrats can not afford to
allow H. Martin Williams to walk
home from Washington, whether he
did go to make an effort to secure
the position of reading clerk of the
house. Martiu is a man you can't
trifle with indifferently. Don't at
tempt to toy with his affections or
hopes. Should the "Roarer from
Aurora" be cotnpfelled to "hoof it''
along the long and tedious lines of
the Baltimore and Ohio, across the
fertile fields and magestic forests of
Ohio and Indiana aud get kicked off
of the rear of Yandalia express car
over into egypt, just think of the
consequences. Think of the hours
H. Martiu Williams will have for re
flection and study. Just think of
the phials of his wrath that must
accumulate during the time and
then think that next year is lSi2.

cratic party of Missouri, as to your

Pears'
Soap
People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can he.
It takes off dirt. So far,
so good ; but what else does
it do?
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin; makes red
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no free,
alkali in it It neither red
dens nor roughens the skin.
It responds to water in
stantly; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as.
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every vay
good.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sortSr
of people use it.
