Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of tl e many phys-
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts—gentle efforts -pleasantefforts—
rightly directed. rl uere is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt-
ly removcH. That is why it Is the only
remedy with miilionsof families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without, debilitating the
organs op which it acts, it is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
ficial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health
and the system is regular, laxatives o
other remedies are then not needed. I
afflicted with any actual disease, on
may be commended to the most skillfu
phypicians, but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best, and with tlu
well informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largelj
nsed a n«' "'ves iru ct "reneral satisfaction.
MYSTERY CLEARING UP.
All of the Men Connect ft! with the lllue
Cut Hohh<*ry Now Known.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 5.—A man
who has confessed that he was one of
the Chicago Si Alton train robbers was
arrested last night east of Independ-
ence. The officers refuse to give the
name or make public the substance of
the confession, as it implicates two
other men who have not been captured
and who might flee if they knew of
the man's arrest. Another reason for
keeping the matter secret is that the
man told where jewelry and other val-
uable things stolen were hidden, and
the officers are afraid some of the
man's confederates might dig it up be-
fore they get to it. It is said unoffi-
cially that the name of tiie alleged
robber is Flynn and that he lives on a
farm about three miles east <>f Inde-
pendence. His confession tells in
minute detail how the two hold-ups of
Chicago & Alton trains at lllue cut
were planned with John Kennedy as
the arch plotter. It tells how the
money was divided and where the
jewelry was buried near Cracker
Neck. The confession gives the names
of all the men in each of the hold-
ups, Kennedy, now in jail, and the
two others, whose names a re suppressed
in the hope that they will be arrested.
Flynn is in a cell in the Independence
jail and closely guarded. J. A. Frier,
the express messenger who was on the
train the second time it was held up
and robbed, went to the jail yesterday
and identified Kennedy as the man
who rifled the safe on the express car.
Officers went out this morning and
discovered in an unbroken and almost
uncleared field and not a mile distant
from the spot of the robberies all the
bandits' weapons and considerable of
the plunder taken. Of the $2,300 in
cash stolen in the last robbery only $25
in gold was found at the point indi-
cated in Fly tin's confession, J>ut still
the officers were richly rewarded for
their search.
MISSOURI LEGISLATORS.
Candidate* for Minor Claret* Gathering; at
Jefferson C ity- Vest's Candidacy.
Jefferson City. Mo , .Ian. 5.—Al-
though the Thirty-Ninth general assem-
bly of Missouri convenes here on
Wednesday, but few members have yet
appeared. All of the aspirants for
minor places, however, are here.
Among the most prominent candidates
for speaker are John W. Farris, of La-
clede, O. II. Avery, of Lincoln, and
James 11. VVhitecotton, of Monroe.
Present indications are that the contest
will finally l>e between Farris and
Avery, although VVhitecotton is said to
have many friends. Senator Vest ar-
rived here this morning. There is no
opposition to his re-election and any
suggestion of a light against him is
greeted with ridicule. Representa-
tive Aldredge, of California, the
populist leader, says he will
not support Vest, nor will he
enter the democratic caucus, but it is
believed a number of populists will
affiliate with the democrats, both in
caucus and in the selection of a sen-
ator. Gov. Stone's message, which, as
already stated in three dispatches,
will be a voluminous one, is almost
completed. The senate, in the coming
session, will stand 19 democrats anil 15
republicans, the same political com-
plexion as existed two years ngo.

CUBAN HORRORS.
Mr. Money Investigating the Spanish
Murders in Guanabacoa.
REPORT OF A B!G BATTLE.
Three Thousand Insurgents in the l'tiillp-
plne lidaiidN Killed hy the Spaniards
Cuhan Insurgent Leaders Want to
Surrender- Agreed to Mediate.
New York, Jan. 5.—A special cable
dispatch to the Herald from Havana
says Senator-elect, II. I). Money, now
a representative in the house and a
member of the committee on foreign
affairs, and Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., visited
Guanabacoa and viewed the general
havoc wrought bv the insurgents at
that plaee. The senator-elect's visit
was for the purpose of learning all he
could of the grewsome details of the
murders committed by the Spanish
authorities of Ouanabacoa since Christ-
mas. What he learned will be doubtless
listened to with interest when his com-
mittee next meets. Mr. Money when
seen at the Hotel Ingleterra. in this
city, on his return from Guanabacoa
refused to talk for publication. He de-
clared that his visit was entirely un-
official. He said the Spanish guard at
Guanabacoa refused to allow him to
visit tlve spot where the bodies of the
Cubans murdered at that place were
said to have been thrown. There
could not be any moral doubt, he de-
clared. that the men were taken
out in the night and mur-
dered with machetes. Mr. Money
said he would try and accomplish as
much as possible during his short stay.
The senator-elect was of the opinion
that th*re was no precedent where a
legislative body has recognized either
the belligerent rights or the independ-
ence of any country. He was also of
the opinion that the house and senate
have gone to work in the wrong way
in passing a concurrent resolution that
the independence of Cuba should
be recognized. He thought that
the end could be best reached by
the passage of an act to regulate the
commercial intercourse between the
United States and Cuba, which might,
if vetoed by the president, be carried,
notwithstanding his veto. He also
thinks that the strongest reason for
President Cleveland to interfere to stop
the war here is the very position he
has so distinctly taken that no one else
would be permitted to interfere.
Report* of a Rattle.
Madrid, Jan. 5.—A special dispatch
to Premier Canovas del Castillo states
that a great battle has been fought in
the Philippine islands, at Balucan, in
which 3,000 of the insurgents were
killed. Hen. Ensebro, a leader of the
insurgents, is said to have been killed
in the conflict. Of the Spaniards 25
were killed and G8 wounded. It is also
reported that seven cannou were
captured from the insurgents.
Insurgent Lead em Want to Surrender.
Madrid, Jan. 5.—A dispatch from
Havana says it isexpected that Maximo
Gomez and other insurgent leaders will
soon make overtures to the Spanish
military authorities in Cuba with a
view of securing favorable terms of
surrender.
Agreed to Mediate.
Bkhi.in. Jan. 5.—The Tageblatt as-
serts that France and Russia have
agreed to intervene at Washington in
the breach between the United States
and Spain.
A IILAVY I RLIG1IT TRAIN.
Maj. Mckinley W ill Press a Dutton at Can-
ton, €)., and Start Kit) Cars at Silver
Springs, N. Y.
Canton, <>., Jan. 5. President-elect
McKinley Wednesday will press a but-
ton in this city which will start one of
the heavest freight trains ever moved
from the yards of the Erie railway in
Silver Springs, N. Y., on its way to
Jersey City. A special electric device,
manufactured for the ocasion. will,
upon receiving the electric impulse
sent over a special wire from Maj. Mc-
Kinley's home in Canton, open the
throttle of the heaviest locomotive
owned by the Erie Railway Co., and
when that occurs a train of 100 freight
cars loaded with salt, will be started
for Jersey City, en route to Boston.
Kansas Poultry Lxhihit.
Topkka, Kan., Jan. 5.—The Poultry
and Pet Stock association of Kansas
began its annual exhibition here to-
day. There are a large number of ex-
hibitors and others interested in the
industry here, and much interest is be-
ing manifested. During the year the
monthly shipment of eggs from Kansas
averaged SI20,000 each month. The
average monthly sale of dressed
poultry, not including home consump-
tion. wis 9120,000.
KANSAS l.M.lsLATI«>>.
It Is Proposed to Require Insuranee Com-
I antes to ln\est in State Seeurltleu.
Toi'KKA, Kan.. Jan. 5.—The commit-
tee appointed by Grand Master Work-
man Wallace, of rite A. O. U. W. of
Kansas, to prepare a bill for passage
by the legislature that will protect the
fraternity benefit society against con-
cerns that come into the state under
the provisions of the present insurance
law, will make some very important
recommendations. An investigation of
the records in the Kansas insur-
ance department shows that the
old line life insurance companies
doing business in this state made clear
and took out of the state the past
year over $1,700,000. This is profit over
and above death losses. The commit-
tee recommend* that n b«w be enacted
requiring ail life in-uranee companies
to invest 65 per cent, of premiums col-
lected in the state in Kansas securi-
ties, and that they be deposited with
the state treasurer, so that upon a
death, if the loss is not speedily ad-
justed, the beneficiary may go to the
state treasurer and have his claim
satisfied. Fire insurance companies
are to le put under the same regula-
tions.

St. Louis, Jan. ft.—Three trainmen

souri Pacific railroad line at New
Haven, a station 04 miles west of this
city, at two o'clock yesterday morn-

Rain and Snowstorms Cripple Railroad and

CiiK'Aoo, Jan. 5. — Heavy rains, fol*
lowed by a cold wave and s'.eet and
snow throughout the west and north-
wvst, have crippled railroads and tele-
graph companies and caused great
suffering. Continuous rain for three
days in this vicinity caused a flood
which has rarely been experienced in
Chicago and Cook county. In the
center of the city, where the drainage
facilities were in better shape.not much
inconvenience was felt, but in the
outer districts the streets looked more
like ponds than thoroughfares, and
many basements were flooded. Out-
side of the city many roads were in an
impassable condition, and the fields

plaines river, the Illinois and Michigan
canal and the drainage canal became
torrents, and in a number of places the
former flooded the surrounding coun-
try.
In northern Michigan the rain was
also severe. Near Menominee it rained
for 18 hours. Logging was suspended
and hundreds of men came out of the
woods. Ice gorges at Fisher and other
points on the Menominee river threat-
en serious consequences to Meno-
minee and Marinette. In Min-

sleet and with falling temperature.
North and South Dakotaand Nebraska

which prevailed all yesterday. The
snow drifted, and railroad blockades
were reported to-day.
In Missouri the heavy rrn which
fell Saturday and Sunday was stopoed
by a cold wave Sunday evening. The
rain caused the rivers o b .ih sides of

Richmond, Mo.. Jan.5.—The declara-
tion of Prosecuting Attorney Anil, of
Lafayette county, that Jesse Winner
and James Nelson, who were taken
from the jail at Lexington on the
night of December 0 and lynched by a
Kay county mob for the murder of the
former's wife and two children, were
innocent, is causing great excitement
among the people of both Ray and La-
fayette counties. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Anil, of Lafayette county, who is
known as a merciless prosecutor, said 1
yesterday: "As there is a (iod in Heaven,
1 believe those men were not guilty of
the crime for which they were lynched,
and if it is the last act of my
life 1 shall bring their murderers to
justice." Mr. Au41 will seek to secure
the indictment, of the lynchers at the
February term of the Lafayette county
court, though his life has been threat-
ened repeatedly within the last ten
days for his activity in securing evi-
dence against the mob.
Attorney James R Ball, of It'ch-
mond, who is looked upon us one of the
foremost lawyers of Kay county, and
is attorney for Lon Lackey, the alleged
accomplice of Winner and Nelson, said
last night: "At the February term of
the Kay county criminal court 1 shall
introduce evidence that will not only
clear Lackey, but it will be so strong
that the grand jury will not even indict
him. That same evidence would ap-
ply equally to Winner and Nelson were
they alive. Tho lynching was the
most frightful mistake ever made by
men who thirsted for blood."
Winner and Nelson are said to have
declared with their las' breath that
they were guiltless. In the meantime
Kay county, particularly in the vicin-
ity of Richmond, is in an unhappy con-
dition People talk of the affair in
whispers and are apparently afraid to
openly express their opinions. Those
who were first positive that the men
committed the crime have since grown
doubtful, particularly as to Nelson.

Central avenue in this city at 7:50
o'clock this morning and collided with
a car going west on the op-

ing at the usual rate of speed,
ami the force of the collision was
so great thatboth were wrecked. About
every window glass in the cars was
shattered. There were no passengers
in the westbound car, but in the car

Wages Cut.
Chicago, Jan. 5. — Because, it is said,
of a fall in prices occasioned by a
breach of contract on the part of a cer-
tain company in underselling the rest,
the Illinois Steel Co. has announced a
cut in wages of from 10 to 50 per cent,
to take effect February 1. The re-
duction will touch every em-
ploye unless protected by contract.
The president is not exempt aud
some ^10,000 officials will receive only
$5,500. It is not vet certain whether
members of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron and Steel Workers will
suffer, but it is thought that their con-
tract, which will expire in the spring,
will protect them for the present.
There are 85,000 men in the Sohtb Chi-

lar reduction at the Bayview mills in
Milwaukee, and it is said that there
the amalgamation men were not af-
fected.
Colorado Miners I'liessy.
Drnvkk, Col., Jan. 5. From reports
current in Denver and substantiated
by private advices from Ouray, it ap-
pears that Ouray and Snn Miguel coun-
ties are on the verge of a miners' strike
that may surpass the one now iu prog-
ress in Leadville. caused by the impor-
tation of non-union miners from Mis-
souri intf) the Virginius mine and Reve-
nue tunnel, about nine miles west of
Ourav. Ktrly in December there was
a strike at the tunnel and mine, and
several attemots to settle it amicably
proved ineffective. Between 400 aud
000 miners were engaged about Joplin.
Mo., to take tlie places of the strikers.
The strikers are members of tin*
miners' union, and it seems probable
that following the introduction of non-
union labor a general strike will be
ordered. There are 2,500 miners in
Ourav and San Miguel counties, most
of whom belong to the union.
Ohio Coal Miners' Wages Cut.
Mashillon, O., Jan. 5.—Notices have
been posted at all the mines in the
Massillon district of a reduction in tho
price of pick mining from 01 cents to
51 cents per ton. The notice savs a
rate of GO cents has been agreed upon
in Pennsylvania under the long estab-
lished system whereby the Ohio rate is
nine cents less than that of the Pitts-
burgh district, therefore the 51 cent
rate will be maintained under existing
conditions.
