ANNOUNCEMENTS.
TKEASUBEK.
We are authorized to auuomice I. I. Moore
of Lewis township, as a candidate f-.r the
oBce of Treasurer, ot Holt County, subject to
the decision ot Me KepuHican .Nominating
Convention..
Friend or Foe.
The
city council at its meeting last
Tuesday evening passed nn ordinance
authorizing tae submission of the ques
tion to the voters of the city, on Tues
day, March 24, 13DG, as to whether they
shall bond the city in the sum of f2T,00U,
for the purpose of putting masetem
of water works. The opinion and views
of The Sestinei. are bo well known to
our people, and have been so often ex
pressed, that it is wholly unnecessary
for as to repeat them here. The city of
Oregon must awake from her Rip-Vun-winklian
sleep, or she will awake only
to realize the decay of her beautiful lit-
f to nit.v. We. as citizens in common
with our oeople, will have to bear the
creat and ruinous loss that will surely
fallow unless we awake to the import
anm nf the occasion. The council has
Anna its whole duty in this matter, and.!
it in nur dutv to stand by them in the
discharge of their duty.
The Made Land.
The action of the county court of
Callaway county, looking to a sale of
the accrued land on the Missouri river
near Cedar City for school purposes, will
no doubt cause much litigntion. This
land is all claimed by; persons who
hnrdlv feel like civine it up. even for eo
commendable an object s the public
schools. There is a decisiou of the
supreme court, it is said, in a suit oyer
the title to an island, or rather an
island when river is high, some four or
five miles above Cedar City on the Cole
county side, which may have n bearing
on the Callaway laad. In a general way
it vm held in that case where a person
had lost land by the action of the river,
and afterward it was again deposited m
accretions, the title vested in the
original claimant. Within past ten or
t.vAltrn vnnrs larce bodies of land have
tMAn cut awav from the Callaway side
bv the river, and Borne one no doubt
held a tftle to ever strip along the river
side.
Gone Glimmering.
The Sentinel was not mistaken when
it said more than a month ago that the
house tariff bill would be sacrificed in
the senate by the free 6'ilyentes ef that
body. Tuesday of last week it was bur
ied out of sight by an adverse vote that
made it evident that no matter what
the necessity of the government on ac
count of deficit in revenue the senate as
now organized will yield nothing in fa
vor ot that necessity except- by an abso
lute surrender by the tariff advocates to
free silver. The free silver men in the
senate may chuckle oyer the fact that
they have achieved a victory such as it
is. but it is a barren one. in this, that it
has not advanced tho cause of free silver
or made any new friends for it in the
bouse or anywhere else, or made it any
nearer being possible to pass any bill
for free coinage in the house. There is
nothing more to be done than for the
people to take the matter in hand at the
coming elections and so reconstitute the
government that the executive and the
two bouses may harmonize upon meas
ures that will bring adequate revenue
for public purposes and restore prosper
ity to the country by protecting our
domestic industries from a competition
that is now seizing our home markets
bv the cheat) labor of foreign countries
and destroying our home markets for
the farmers or tne country.
Value of Cheap Excursions.
One of the most effective ways of en
couraging immigration is by extending
transportation facilities to those in
search ot new lands and new homes.
There is no cla6S of people more in
terested in the development of the great
northwest, and the speedy settlement of
the great areas of fertile lands still
unoccunied. than the railroad corn-
painee, whose linen extend into this
territory. For that reason the steps
taken bv the Burlington system in tir
ranirine for cheap excursions for home
and land seekers, is an admirable one.
It is true that many persons who avail
themselves of these cheap home seek
ing excursions are not always satisfied
with the lands they visit in this way,
but it is also true that the greater por
tion of them contract the western rover
from such visits, and finally decide to
make their permanent homes in the new
region explored by them in this way.
Thousands of persons in the eastern and
middle states have no more than a
general idea of the character of the
country, many of them not oven that,
and the way to get them to know what
it is. is to brine them into the country
that they may see for themselves. The
verv active, etirrinc life of the west is a
fascination and a stimulant to them,
and tbey yield to it when they are once
brought in contact with it. Elsewhere
in this issue will found the dates of
these home 6eekers excursions, and
fuller information may be obtained by
conferring with the various local agents
in the county, or by corresponding wun

The Gauntlet Thrown Sown.
The sound money wing of the Demo
cratic party of Missouri on Suturday
last threw down the gauntlet to their
onDonents. the free silverites, at a meet
ing in St. Louis. In accordance with
announcements, a conference and a
demonstration were held, to which the
cold men throughout the state were
invited. Fully tour hundred represen
tative Democrats wete present, and
every congressional district in the state
was represented, inis, uie im uibinui,
was represented by B. J. Woodson and
W. M. Smith. ex-Governor Francis
called the meeting to order, and ex At
tornev General, D. II. Mclntyre, was
called to the chair to preside Mr.
Francis in calling the meeting to order
said: He denied that the Pertle Springs
platform was a teBt of Democracy in
Missouri. The convention, he declared,
had taken the machinery ot the party
out ot the hands of those to whom it
bad been intrusted. This had been
done against the protest of 2,000 Demo
crats of good standing. "That conven
tion," he continued, "overrode our
wishes, and called an early convention
ia order to shut off free discussion of
the financial question. It was then that
we made up our minds that the time
had come for the sound money men to
stand up and be counted."
Congressman "Riley" Hall was present
and made a vigerous attack upon the
free silver contingent of his party. He
declared that the 6ound money party of
the United States was the Democratic
party; and offered as a proof of his as
sertion the action of Jefferson, and the
action ot the Democratic party of to
day, aided by a Democratic president,
in repealing the Sherman act and the
Bland-Allison act Then he abeerted
that the champion of free silver at the
ratio ot 1G to 1 was advocating some
thing which did not exist in the world.
Japan came the nearest to it, with its
ratio of 16.19. Next to it came Old
Mexico with its ratio of 1C25 to 1.
China was not worth referring to. "So,"
said he, "the advocate of free silver at
16 to 1 wants to root under tho China
man, the Japanese and the Greaser."
Judge Morton, ot Platte county, was
made chairman of the committee on ad
dress, and in reading it we are fully
convinced that the old judge is able to
take care of himself for a while yet, and
perfectly capable of "speaking out in
meet in,"

The Sentinel is of tho opinion, how
ever, thai the government, ot opaiu
not at all anxious to engage in war wun
this country, no matter how clamorous
tho Spanish mobs in her cities may oe
eacer for it as the result of Monday's
excitement. Tho queen's government is
not blind to the fact that if it were to
resent the receut vote of our congress
in regard to the beligf rent chatacterof
the Cubans by beginning hostilities
against the United States, it would be
th KBverini? of the enlv ligament that
now binds Cuba to Spain. Not a week
would elapse until the United States
could and would land from the Florida
coast such a body of hastily assembled
troops as would render totally helpless
the army that Spain is now maintaining
on that island.
The resolutions recognizing beliger-
oncv simply means or imply a recogni
tion of the fact that a state of war ex
ists,and that equal consideration should
be ffiven to the two parties engaged in
it. Thus the Cut nu insurgents will be
allowed to send vessels into our ports
the same as Snain is permitted to do,
and private traders will be allowed to
sell them certain kinds of goods. But
neiter side can buy arms, ammunition.
or any other military supplies from us.
There is also likely to be a misconcep
tion as to the effect of the resolutions
passed. The passage of concurrent res
olutions, can be no more than moral un
til there is a declaration from the Pres
ideat.and it is generally believed that
the President and his entire cabinet are
Etrongly opposed to theprtBent recogni
tion of the beligerency of the Cuban
Insurgents, and to any declaration con
cerninc their independence as embod
led in the resolutions. iience, mere
will not necessarilly be a war with
Spain, any more than there was when
she hastened to reewgnize the Southern
Confederacy.
X Bays,
The St. Joseph Evening News thinks it
a misfortune for the Scientist Koentgen
to have such an unpronounceable name,
claiming that on this account the rays
that variably penetrate dmerent mater
ials, will always be known as X RayB
and will not bear the honored but jaw-
breaking name of the discoverer.
Prof. Roentgen himself cills them A
Rays because of their yet undetermined
character. They mny be transverse or
longitudinal. They are assuredly not
infra-red nor ultra-violet, nor even sucn
light rays as are appreciable to human
sieht. When their true nature is suf
fiiientlv established to permit of classi
fication the X will he eliminated and a
name properly designating themsubsti
tuted.
To give a new science ooject the name
of its discoverer is at best a misleading
system of nomenclature avoided by all
true students who care less tor tneir
personality than for the subject invest!

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Interesting Letter from Xastor
i.eign Dooyns, uesenpure ox
The National Capital.
Leigh Dobyns, who ia now in Wash-
neton. D. C. serving in the capacity of
page to the sergeant at-armsof the pres
sent congress, sends The Sentinel, the
following interesting letter about the
national capital:
The capitol building is about seven
hundred and fifty feet long and its
breadth vanes from fifty-six to three
hundred J.ind twenty-five feet. It cov
ers and area ot four acres including the
grounds. Its height from the ground
to the toD of the Etnlue ot Jjtuerty on
the dome, is three nunureu anu eigm
.... , , i a
feet. The central portion is construct
ed of Virginia saudstone painted white
n ml :s the original capitol. Since 1827
the wings. u Inch are of Massachusetts
marble, have been built. The capitol
facee the east. It was originally be
lieved that the city would build up on
the east side ot the town, but instead it
has built up on the west side and the
capitol, like the Irishman's shanty, has
its front door on the oacK siue.
Over the main entrance is a sculpture
n low relief bv Caoellano. and repre
senting Washington being crownea
with laurel by Fame and Peace. At
the main entrance is the famous bronze
door designed by Ralph Rogers and cast
in Munich in I860. It is inside of a
bronze casing, is 19 feet high and 9 feet
wide, weighs ten toBS and cost $23,000.
On the nine panels are designs iu high
telief reoresentins scenes in the lite of
Columbus and in the discovery of
America.
On the eastern porticoes of the house
and senate are twenty two large
cihimnR. and on their north and south
fronts are ten similar ones. The dome
nf cnHt iron and weiahs nearly 4000
tons. I!v its necuhar construction tne
nliniiL'es of temnerature make its con
traction and expansion like the folding
and unfoldin? of a lily. It was designed
by T. U. Walker and cost over S'iWU.uw.
It took eight years for its completion
Tim bronze statue of Liberty which is
nn the summit of the dome is nineteen
and one half feet high, weighs soven and
one-half tons and cost over 24 Alt J
The rotunda is a magmheeut circular
hall !H1 feet in diameter and 180 feet in
height. Above are the 3G windows of
the peristyle, then the curving dome, at
its top the "eye,"' an opening 50 feet in
diameter. Susttended over the eye is
an immense iron canopy on which is
Brumidi a celebrated allegorical paint
ing, "Ihe Apotheosis of Washington."
Washington, with "Freedom" and
Victorv" at his right and left anu it
female figures representing the origi-
al states, occupy the center and around
the border are six groops representing
the "Fall of Tyranny;" "Agriculture,"
Mechanics." "Commerce." the "Ma
rines." and the "Arts and Sciences." It
cost 350.000 and occupied Brumidi a
number of years. Around the walls are
ight large paintings representing, nrsi:
"The Landing of Columbus at ban
Salvador" by John Vanderlvn and cost
some S10.CCJ. The nest is tbatoI "Ue
Soto Discovering the Mississippi" by
W. II. Powell and cost $12000. Then
The Baptisn of Pocahontas" by Chap
man cost 810,000. The fourth is uy
llob't W. Weir representing the "Em
barkation of the Pilgrims" and cost
810.000 Tlie next four are by John
Trumbull representing the "Signing of
the Declaration of Independence, me
Surrender of Burgoyne." "burrenaer
of Cornwallis." and "Washington Re
signing his Commission."
4ow passing through the west coor
of the rotunda we come to the library
of concress. This is made up of three
halls each 00 feet long, 31 feet wide and
38 feet hiah. They are tire proof.
lighted by windows and glass roofs, and
have tessellated mnrble floors. The
shelves are of iron painted beautifully.
and it is estimated, nave a total length
of about live miles. The library con
tains GCO.OOO books and 200.000 pamph
lets.
North of the rotunda is the chamber
formerly occupyed by the senate, but
the sunreaie court has used it Moce
1800. This is nn elegantly turuisiieu
room and a beautiful specimen of
classic architecture. On the wnlls are
busts of deceased justices and in the
robin? room west of the corridor are
tine portraits ot Uhief justices jay.
Marshall, Taney and Chase. The court
sits promptly at noon when tne crier
aunoances: "The Honorable the Chief
Justice and the Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court of the United btates.
Then the justicen come in dressed in
black silken robe6 with fie chief jus
tice in the center, and take their seats.
Then tho crier opens the session by the
ancient formula: "Uyez! uyez: uyezi
All persons having business with the
supreme court of the United States are
admonished to draw near nnu give inoir
attention, for the court is now sitting
God save the United States and this
honorable court!
North of this is the senate chamber.
which is in the north wing of tre capi
tol. 112 feet lonL'. 82 wide and 30 high.
The ceiling is farmed of iron girders
and cross pieces, enclosing ulass panels
behind which, are hundreds ol gas
built-" for the evening ssmns Ihe
president's seat is at the n irth end
of the chamber. On his right sits the
eerg't-at-Arins, on his left the iissiHtant
doorkeeper, while in front are the oesKS
of the clerks and official reporters. Be
hind the chamber is the lobby and
north of it is the "Mnrble Room." the
walls, floor, and celling are of polished
marble. It is usee by the senators for
consultation and for the reception of
snecial visitors. West of the marble
room is the presidents room, i tie presi
dent comes, here during too hurried
closing hour of the session and sign
bills passed at the last of the session. .ll
over the senate wing are pictures and
paintings which are mnt magnificent.
Now we come to the "National Statu
ary Hall" formerly used by the house of
representatives. Trom 1808 to 18U when
it wns destroyed by the British. On its
reconstruction it was again devoted to
its original purpose until 1S57 when the
house nssembled in its present place.
There is nothing of much interest here,
so we wi!l pass on to the house which is
the southern extension of the capitol.
It is 130 feet long, 93 feet wide, and 30
feet hieh. The ceiling is similar to that
of the senate chamber except the panels
are decorated with the seals of the
states. At the north end o: the hull is
the chair of the speaker in front or
whish is a marble table. On the speak
er's right is the mace which rests on a
marble pedestal and is the symbol of
authority of the speaker. It is a bun
dle ot black rods fastened with trans
verse bands of silyer, like the Roman
fasces. On its top is a silver globe sur
mounted by a silver eagle. Close by it
sits the serg't at-Arms. At the speakers
left sits the assistant doorkeeper. A
full length picture of Washington is on
the wall east ot the speaker and one ot
Lafayette is on the wall west ot him.
South of the ball is the lobby with the
walls decorated with the portraits ot
past speakers. Opening from the lobby
is the members' retiring rooms. Grand
stairways leads to the galleries and
statues (lecoratejthe landings. Here, as
well as in the senate, are fine paintings.
The walls of the various committee
rooms are ndorned with fine paintings
and frescoes. From the dome we get n
magnificent view ot the city. This ends
my description of the cnpitol. This
much I have seen. I have not visited
the library yet because every thing is in
confusion. I will now quit. Am all
right nt present.

hia life hung in the nalauce, and at last
hie feeble frame gave way, and he t-hut
his eyes to the sceues of earth forevet.
For the past year he had been in feeble

Jacob Mumm, of Mound City, died
suddenly of anponlexy on the af
ternoon of the ir.ith ult. tie tiaa been
comnlainmir for more than a week
About 2 d. in. on Thursday he wa9 taken
suddenly ill at his place of business and
was removed to his house as soon mere
after as Dossible. lie became uncon
scious and died within 30 minutes after
beinsr Dtit to bed. Medical aid was
summoned but it was soon felt that
nothing could be done. The break in
the machinery was irreparable. The
end had been reached.
Jacob Mumm was born at Hoen in
Schleswic. Germany, while that state
was still i. nart of Denmark. He re
mained in his native country 'till after
his ruiijoritv. receiving such education
as could be civen there. He came to
the United States and settled in Val
parniso, Ind. Me was the only member
of the family who ever ventured to come
away. He had several brothers in Oer
many, at last accounts.oneof whom was
C teet Ila.j inches in height and was one
of the emperor's body guard. As these
brothers were older than he, they or
part of them may be dead. Mr. Mumm
came to St. Joseph in lSo9. and soon af
ter the war encased with one of the
Pincers in tho lumber business When
the war beaan he tiromotly enlisted
the First Missouri Cavalry. He served
nearly two years and held the position
of second sergeant. In 13G3 he married
Miss Elizabeth M. Jessen. by whom he
bad the following children viz.tAnna M
John, who died in infancy. Lydia M
now the wife of Ed. King, of the Mound
Citv News: Amanda M.. wife of Law
rence Kaucher; Theodore V, Ollie
who died May l'A 18k; bmina U
Iteniamin F.. Edna A. and Harry J.
In 18S0 Mr. Mumm moved to Mound
Citv and eneaced in the lumber busi
ness, in which he was successful, as the
block of business houses and other
property built by him clearly shows.
He was a public spirited and useful
man, and promptly supported any tneas
ure that promised to forward the in
terests of the community in which he
lived. Ha was president of the board of
education for about nine years.
Mr. Mumm was a member of the
Methodist Episcopnl church at Mound
City, and also of Wilkinson Grand Army
post, and of Holt lodge and Mound City
Encampment of Odd Fellows,also of the
Woodmen of the World.
The funeral was in charge of the Odd
Fellows of whom a great number from
all parts of the county were present.
The Grand Army and the Woodmen
participated in the ceremonies at the
grave. The funeral took place Sunday
nfternoon. Two sermons were preached
simultaneously, one by Rev. L. 1$. Wiles
at the Methodist church and the other
by Rev. tl. 15. Preston at the Presbyter
ia"n church, both to overflowing houses.
The funeral was larger than any that
has occurred in Holt county for many
years, which fact is conclusive of the
high estimation in which the man was
held by hia fellows. The excellent pub
lie schools of Mound City owe much of
their efficiency to the energy of Jacob
Mumm. nnd for his labora in promoting
their interest he will long be retnem
Ilesides the wife and children already
mentioned Mr. Mumm left two grand
children. Nelson King and Dorothy
Kaucher. Two brothersof Mrs. Mumm,
John and Peter Jessen, of Ljtraoot, Ia.,
were present to comfort her in her great
trouble. John will stay a week or so to
aid her in re establishing tho business
which will be conducted under the
management of Theodore W. Mumm,
the eldest son.

Appreciation and Thanks.
I wish to express my sincere thanks
to the members and friends of the Bap
tist church in Rich vi lie for their friend
ly words and brotherly co operation in
the meetings recently held at Hibbard'a
hall.
If thev should see the way clear in the
future to allow us the use of their
church, once or twice a month on Sab
bath in the afternoon, or at anr hour
not used, we will be glad to hold meet
ings there-. Otherwise we hope they will
still attend our meetings at the hall and
