A Meeting Will He lleld in Kansas City for
Organization Throughout Missouri.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 26.—A state
organizing convention of the Non-Par-
tisan Women's Christian Temperance
union will be held November 1 at the
Grand Aveuue Methodist church. The
body has three local organizations but
the state is not organized and it is pro-
posed to have a state organization sub-
ject to the national organization of
which Mrs. Ellen J. Finney, of Cleve-
land, O., is president. Mrs. Frances
J.Sheldon, an organizer authorized by
the national union, will preside. There
will be two meetings, one in the tore-
noon and another in the afternoon.
The forenoon meeting will be for or-
ganization and Rev. J. E. Roberts,
pastor of All Souls Unitarian church,
will deliver an address of welcome. At
the evening exercises Rev. J. L. Sewall,
pastor of the Clyde Congregational
church, will speak.
The difference between the non-
partisan and the other Woman's Chris-
tian Temperance union is that the non-
partisan union does not as a union in-
dorse the prohibition or any other
political party, although the members
j as individuals are at liberty to do as
..., , . . they please. Its other aims are much
entitled to membership. Officers were same

London, Oct. 20.—The news from
Livadia is very conllicting, each fresh
telegram contradicting the previous
one, with the result that no one can
tell what the exact condition of the
czar is. The official bulletin issued
this morning in regard to the health
of the czar does not indicate that any
real change has taken place in his con-
dition, but other reports do not bear
this out. It seems certain, however,
that a report that the last sacrament
had been given to him is not correct.
The Russian embassy in Berlin has
received dispatches from Livadia, dated
j this morning, saying that a slight im-
provement has taken place in the czar's
I condition.
A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette
from Yalta says symbols of joy and
; sorrow jostle each other everywhere in
that neighborhood. State carriages
| and regiments of troops for the im-
perial marriage arrived at the same
time as the mourning coaches ami
liveries of woe, which will be required
in the event of the czar's death.
St. Petersburg dispatches this morn-
ing say there is a general feeling of in-
dignation against Prof. Zacharin. whose
mistaken diagnosis in the first place, it
is claimed, was rendered more injuri-
ous to the patient by his negligence
and lack of medical skill. He has been
severely blamed, according to these
! advices, by Prof. Leyden, and it is as
sorted that should the czar die it will
be because proper treatment was not
undertaken in time.
A seditious proclamation or appeal
to the people is circulating secretly
through the post in St. Petersburg.
The origin of the proclamation is un -
known, but it is evident that its au-
thors have taken advantage of the ex-
ceptional circumstances which now pre-
vail. The document is dated February
19, the anniversary of the emancipa-
tion of the serfs, and is signed "The
party of Russian rights." It de-
mands that the rights that a des-
potic government has withdrawn be
restored. Nothing is said of the
illness of the czar, but the present
moment is referred to as propitious for
securing liberty for the press and con-
| science. An election,etc.,is demanded.
I So importance is attached to the ap-
peal.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
j the Daily News says that the official
: bulletins do not represent the gravity
i of the czar's condition. The tempor-
| ary relief by tapping, he adds, means
: nothing. It is the general opinion
that his majesty is already dying. It
i is known that his unconsciousness
! lasted several hours.
j Princess Alix, it is said, is still wa-
' ging a desperate struggle against the
fanatical zeal of the orthodox clergy
who insist upon her declaring that the
evangelical faith is accursed.
Telegrams received here from Liva-
dia this morning say the czarowitz and
Princess Alix attended a requiem mass
yesterday in memory of the Grand
Duke Constantine, the czar's uncle,
who died in 1802. The mass was cele-
brated at the castle of Orianda. The
czarowitz and the princess afterward
visited the Umsunsshu waterfall.

home of Dr. Joseph Bryant, where the

9 o'clock this morning, and, when

to see the president. The butler

treme national importance," said
j Roeder. This brought Dr. Bryant to

! Columbia,S. C.,Oct. 20.- JohnT. Rod-
i dey, a member of the firm of John T.
Roddey A Co., brokers, New York, in
a letter to the Columbia State.proposes
to the farmers of the south the forma-
I tion of a gigantic trust to control the
■ price of cotton. He claims that the low
, price of cotton is due to the combina-
J tions against the farmer and the lack
! of combination among them. He sug-
gests a capital stock of from $50,000,000
1 to $100,000,000, and points out that if
! cotton can be raised in price from 5
I cents to 10 cents a pound on an 8,000,-
j 000-bale crop, more than the capital
! stock of the trust would be saved the
i farmers in one year. The shares are
to be low enough in value to allow
every farmer to take one or more. He
suggests a meeting of representatives
of the alliance and other farmers' asso-
ciations to be held at an early date in
New York or some southern city. He
urges immediate action.
Died in a Mine Shaft.
Colorado Springs, Col., Oct. 2 0.—A
ghastly find was made by some miners
at the bottom of a shaft at Cripple
Creek this morning. It was the par-
tially decayed remains of l'atrick
Barry, who had evidently met his death
by falling down the shaft several days
ago. Barr^ was once a wealthy citizen
of Shellslriirg, Wis. In some manner
he lost his property, and as a result his

fining the right of way and to cut it
down to less than one-half.

j —An amusing incident of a child's
misconception of the words of a popu-

day school in Somersetshire. The
teacher, turning to the best girl in the
head class, to whom was accorded the
! privilege of choosing the hymn to be
sung before closhig the school, asked:
I "What hymn would you like, B ?"
"Please, sir," replied the girl, "the
hymn about the little bear." "The
little bear? What do you mean?"
"Please, sir," was the answer, "the
hymn that says: 'Can a mother's ten-
