Campbell's place, two milts northwest of town, this afternoon,by Mr. Campbell aid Lewis Grimes. The parties were directed to the body by the stench which filled the air, it being badly decomposed, bar ing laid there since September 23. The body was brought to town and the inquest will be held to morrow. Foul play in suspected. Sherman was at the James house and left before breakfast on Sunday morning, September 23, and had not been seen since. His home is at Fayette,Mo., but he had been travel ing for the Farm Record, and bad been here before in the interest of that book. The scene of the find showed that the body had been dragged a distance of several yards from the creek to a thicket, and the bushes were broken down. No money or valuables were found on the body. The matter will be follow ed up by the authorities, and if it is murder the guilty parties will be brought to justice. Mrs. Lola Jackson, daughter of Rev. Sam Small, is seeking a divorce from her worthless husband James Jackson. They were married in August 1892, and soon after their marriage the husband, fell heir to $30,000 inherited from his father's estate. He soon run through with this gift in riotous living and drinking and gambling and then de serted his wife. The Globe Democrats will tell the truth ouce in a great while. Last Saturday it said. "The profits of the sugar trust last year were $28, 000,000 or 85 per cent on the inon ey invested. The amount have been greater but for the fact, as Congress man Wilson says, that the Dernoc crats continue to shell the camp of monopoly." GKN. A. M. WEST. Demise of the Ex-Contcdeinte WIik whs o:i lite '-let iibtuk Ticket with nutlet'. Holly Springs. Miss., Sept. 30. Gen. A M. West ditd this morniug at 4 o'clock, fiou catarrh of the stomach, after an illness of three weeks. The funeial take place at 10 o'clock 1,-lOiiuw morning from the. Methodist Church Gen. West wus born m Alabama in 1818, and receiv. J a limited edu cation in private scbuo s, leaving school when he was 14 years old. In 1837 he moved to Mississippi. In politics he was a Whig, and was elected to the L?jislature in 1847 and twice to the State Senate. After the secession of the Southern States he was appointed Brigadier General, and subsequently Quartermaster General, Paymaster General and Commissary General, holding all three of these offices at once In 18G4 he became President of the Mississippi Central Railroad. He was elected to Congress after the war, but Congress refused to seat him and all others from the seceding States. In 1876 he was elector from Mississippi for the Tilden and lieu dricks ticket, but later in the year he identified himself with the Green back party aud was nomiuated iu 1884 for Vice President on the ticket with Gen. 15. F. Butler. He at first declined on account of Southern prejudice against Butler and for fear of a split in the Democratic party furthering Republican success in Mississippi, but upou being urged he consented upon condition that there were no electors from Missis sippi. He was a prominent member of the Methodist Church, the Grange and the Farmers Alliance. A Perversion of Facts. Kantaa City Tlmea, 3d. When Governor McKiuley stood in the magnificent presence that greeted him at the Auditorium yes terday and by implication attributed the distress of the past eighteen months to the Democratic rdminis- tration he insulted the intelligence of the people of this city and set himself down as a '"scurvey politi cian." In 1892, when the labor riots at Homestead occurred, the disaster that has scourged the country set in, and when the moustrous McKin ley law was enacted the foundation for the distress was laid. When the McKinley law was pass ed after a struggle in Congress which lasted from December, 18S9 to October, 1890, the Treasury was full and thecouutry was prosperous. But with the consummation of that outrace the ehauce beean. The revenues decreased and the expenses increased until in 1892 bread riots were the only expedients- which promised to afford food for starving men and women, and the people of the country, North, South, East and West, voted a pretest against the Treasury looters and Mr. McKinley was temporarily returned to private life. The changes in the prices of wheat and wool and sugar to which Mr. McKinley referred yesterday were not on account of the Demo cratic administration, but in spite of it. and for the reason that the change in administration didn work an immediate change in the lawB. The atrocious laws enacted by the Republican party not only bankrupted the government but ex hausted the energies and destroyed the hopes of the people, and in per verting th facts, as Mr. McKinley did in this citv yesterday, the ob vious purpose is to protract the peri od of distress until the trusts and monopolies are enable to get a fresh hold upon the throats of the people, Lamont Talks of Hill.

Mr. Hill is a vote getter and the campaign will undoubtedly be an active one. There may be some men of irore or less prominence, , with more or ls of a following who will refuse to support him but he will not be concerned about that. He has hiB own way of making a canvass aud will look elsewhere for his votes. He has unquestionably looked the ground over ou which his strength lies aud thoroughly understands the situation. I see no reason why he should not be reelect ed " Payment ot Pensions. Washington, D. C, Sept. 28.

Carbondale, Pa., Sept. 30. John K Famliug. William B. Mitchell, George Barney and Adrew Klaheeky, the four miners who were eutombed in the slope of the Northwest Coal company, on Thursday, were rescued at a late hour last night. All are alive and well and do not seem much the worse for their loug imprison ment. As soon as an opening was made refreshments were passed through to the prisoners and their hunger and thirst had been satisfied before they reached the surface. The men were without light and food for fifty-four hours. They procured water from a minature well which they dup iu their cell. In conse quence of having been so long in darkness one of them was unable to see a lamp held two feet away from him. None of the men could re member whether or not they had slept and said that the senatiou was like that of a trance. There wa re joicing when the men were brought to the surface and escorted to their homes. The Chicago Herald tappily epito mizes the situation in Louisiana when it says that "the sugar planters who have joined the republican par ty because the democrats cut off their bounty have taken the right course. Eery man who wants to rob the treasury or tax the people should make baste to join the repub licans.
