It Is not thought that Governor Holcomb

and that ho will be hanged next Friday ,
Walker maintains a partially Indifferent demeanor
meaner ami dees not seem to fully realize
ho Is to bo hanged , He makes frequent In
quiry If there Is "any news from the gov

Governor Holcomb Is als In the conspiracy
agalnet htm. Sheriff Hotuon la commencing
the preliminary arrangements. The execu
tion will take place on the south sldo of the
Jail , In an enclosure built for the purpose.
The case has excited universal Interest here
and while a largo crowd will undoubtedly
bo In the city4 no trouble Is looked for. The
fact that Stevens , the victim , was a union
veteran and Walker an ex-confederate has
done much to Influence public rcntlment
against him and the theory of Insanity ID
set up In his behalf. Walker's clear business
views In the past also go far toward tearing
down the belief In his Insanity upon the ono
subject of "the gang that hag bcn follow-
Ins him for years. "
Public rentlment Is divided , however , but
the majority of Lexington people and all
local physicians believe that a crazy old man
will ascend the gallows without knowing
where ho Is going or why , and that to a
great extent ho Is made the victim to ex
piate the sentiment against previous mur-
dcrcro In this county , who , with money
and friends , have escaped the gallows.

NEW YORK , Feb. 29. A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris , says ; A startling and
unexpected solution of the Panama canal
problem Is presented as a possibility of th :
near future. This Is In the form of consoli
dation of the Panama Canal company with
the Nicaragua Canal company.
The Herald learns that the president of
the latter corporation , Mr. J. L. Bartlett ,
who has Just left Paris for America , bears
with him an agree mcnt for the fusion of
the two companies. This agreement was
formally signed here , but Is not conclusive.
It Is understood that It will become operative
on behalf of the Panama company when con
curred In by the directors of the Nicaragua
company In New York. It provides for the
absorption of the Panama franchise and as
sets , Including the railroad across the Isth
mus. The French company Is to receive a
substantial sum of money and stock In the
American corporation , which will proceed to
pierce the Isthmus via Lake Nicaragua.
The Inducements to the Panama people
betides the material consideration were an
honorable relief from over recurring turmo ! )
over their affairs and the presentation to
their shareholders of an Interest In a more
vital concern. The Nicaragua representa
tives on their part claim to derive great
advantage from the removal of a possible
future competitor and the securing of a mo
nopoly of the water way between the two
oceans. With this change In the situation
the many bankers of Great Britain and the
continental centers , as well as of America ,
are prepared to float the Nicaragua com
pany's bonds.

DBS MOINES , Feb. 29. ( Special Telegram , )
The house of representatives today came
very near sweeping every line of prohibitory
legislation from the statute boks. Under
the title "A Bill to Suppress Intemperance
and Lying , " Morrison ( republican ) of Kcokuk
Introduced a bill by which he Intended to re
peal so much ot the pharmacy law an author
ized druggists to handle Intoxicating liquors.
The committee on suppression of Intemper
ance , to whcm It was referred , merely glanced
at the tltlo of the bill and reported It for
Indefinite postponement , as being too big a
Job for the legislature to tackle. When the
bill came up In the house In regular order ,
the author made an eloquent speech against
drug store saloons. Ho apparently carried
the legislature with him , and the roll call
had been ordered , when Mr. Temple arcso
In great trepidation and electrified the house
with the startling statement that If this
bill , repealing nil of chapter XXXV , Laws of
the Twenty-third General Assembly , passed ,
not a line ot restrictive temperance legisla
tion would remain. Martin of Adalr took
the same view and the republicans , In great
alarm , began to vote "no. " When the roll
call was completed , It was found that every
member who responded , had reccrded his
vote In the negative , except Mr. Morrison
himself. The democrats , not knowing Just
what else to do , refrained from voting. The
error arose over a half dozen words In the
beginning of the chapter , containing a re
pealing clause , which , as the chapter Is very
long , the authcr ot the bill overlooked , or
thought "didn't count. "
The senate passed nothing but legalizing
acts and the house disposed ot routine busi
ness , many members being absent.
The senate committee on schools this
afternoon adopted a unanimous report In
favor of the Trcwln bill to change the
organization of school districts , doing away
entirely with rural eubdlstrlcts and provid
ing that each rural township shall be a
single district by Itself. The bill will sub
stitute five directors In an ordinary township
for thirty-six , as heretofore , and Is urged
by the State Teachers' association * and educators
caters generally. It will bo a radical change ,
but these who have Investigated It believe It
will result , If enacted , In great Improvement
in the rural schools.

MALVISHN.'Ta. , Feb. 29. ( Special. ) It was
generally thought that the town election , to
bo held Monday , would bo a very quiet affair ,
as there was no apparent Issue. A "citi
zens" caucus was held February 20 , being
by far the largest attended caucus held In
years. E. B. Brown , editor of the Lader ,
was chairman and William Kline , town re
corder , was clerk. The folltwlng nomina
tions were made : Mayor , John Dushane ; re
corder , William Kline ; treasurer , J. J. Wil
son ; assessor , James Miller , all present In-
ciwibents ; councllmen , to fill vacancies , B. E.
Bushnell , W. A. Crow and William Knee-
land ; street commissioner , James L. Talbott.
Before adjourning , the chairman , clerk and
0. U. Harris were elected a committee t fill
vacancies , should any of the candidates re
fuse to run. Upon the refusal of William
Kneeland to run , and the death of W. A.
Crow , the name of H. A. Norton was sub
stituted.
Some time Friday a private caucus was
held nnd the following republican ( ? ) ticket
was nominated : Mayor , A. Illrshcy ; re
corder , William Kline ; treasorer , G. L.
Cleaver ; assessor , James Miller ; cuncllmen ,
1 , W. Skadan , James Ward and E. E. llush-
nell ; street commissioner , W. W. Wills. The
first ticket nominated was filed Friday fore
noon , the other the evening of the same
day. Last Monday a protest was served on
the mayor against allowing the "citizens"
ticket to be printed or voted upon. Some
ot the grounds alleged was that the "citi
zens" was not recognized Jn law , as they
had not received the per cent of votes at
the last election , as required by law ; and
that the call was not properly feigned , etc.
As the citizens' ticket was the one elected a
year ago , and _ the belief that the law does
not rcqulro'thc * call to be made by any par
ticular person , no attention will be paid to
the protest and the contest will be en the
two tickets. _

citement among the farmers In the vicinity.
About 3 a. in. Mrs. Stuenkel was awakened
by ono of the children down stairs crying.
The father , with Delia and Arthur , slept
In a large bsdroom down Blairs. On the floor

Mrs. Stuenkel , as she went down stairs ,
called to Uosa and said she feared the child
was 111. She found her husband lying upon
the bed wrlthlrg In agony and moaning.
Arthur was on the floor behind the stove , un
conscious. Delia was on the > bed with her
father , crying. No one seemed to think of
the coal gas and the door was kept shut for
fear of cooling oft the room. The daughter
called to the other children to come down
stairs. The baby , Reneta , had be-en crying
and was brought along. A tew moments
after the family had gathered In the father's
room each member began acting In a peculiar
manner.
The baby went to sleep. William fell to

leave the room. Rosamond remained with
her father and In a short time the gas fumes
overcame her and she fell to the floor. The

Not one member of the fahilly seemed to
notice the hot steve and the gas. The
children ran about half dazed , always clos
ing the door behind them. The mother and
oldest son fell prostrate upon the kitchen
floor. William recovered sufficiently to crawl
out Into the yard. There he was seen by his
uncle Henry from un adjoining house. Phy
sicians were Immediately sent for and every
thing possible was done for the surviving
members of the family.

LOUISVILLE , Feb. 25. A spcnhl to the
Post from Frankfoit tays : The fact that
there wcro a number of absentees at the

that Although the caucus decided to stand by
the nominee he would fall to get the full
patty vote.
The absentees Included Senator Landcs ,
who sprung the sensation yesterday In re
gard to the agreement signed by Dr. Hunter.
Senator Landcf , as well a * several others , Is
said to liavo e.xpicsscd the determination nut
to vote for Dr. Hunter ,
Perhaps the biggest crowd of the
sesBlon saw the Joint assembly ballot for
senator. U was stated that Senator Black
burn's friends Intended to force the balloting
and try to elect that candidate.
At the conclusion of roll call Representa
tive Lyons aroto and read n communication
from Dr. Hunter , In which he withdrew
from the race. He fcald among other things
that as the session wat. drawing to a close
he would absolve the members of his party
from their pledge to vote for him as the
caucus nominee.
The communication was received with ap
plause and n hum ot excitement at once
went up. The withdrawal of Hunter caused
the greatest excitement. It was taken to
mean that , he realized fliat further desertions
would occur and that rather than prolong
the agony ho would got off now and not
wait until ho was forced.
The Blackburn people wcro smiling. They
voted for the nominee with enthusiasm.
Ttio ballot was then ordered called. It
developed the fact that no one had as yet
been decided upon by the republicans as a
unit , though tonight n caucus would be held
and come one nominated , lleciuiifc of the
number of candidates the announcement of

Aincrt Sliver Democrat H In MlNnonrl
Arc Aetlnir Unfair. _
ST. LOUIS , Feb. 29. As the result of a
call Issued several days ago , 300 prominent
dnmocrats of Mlssurl , who arc opposed to
the free coinage of silver at 1C to 1 , assem
bled here today to protest , as they term It ,
against being "read out of the party. "
Among the more prominent leaders present
were Chairman Charles M. Maffltt , of the
democratic state central committee ; Congressman
U. S. Hall ex-Governor David
man , - R. Fran
cis and Hon. James 0. Brndhead. A lengthy
address to the democrats of Mlssuurl wa
adopted unanimously. It starts out by de
claring that the unprecedented action of callIng -
Ing the state convention to meet ! n SoJalin
on April 15 to elect delegates to the national
convention , three months In advance cf the
meeting of the convention , was done with the
avowed purpose of Influencing the party In
other states and committing ihe national
democracy to the free and unlimited ct'nage '
of silver at a ratio of 1C to 1 of gold , rcgard-
less , cf the relative commercial value of the
two metals and regardless of the action of
the other commercial nations of the world.
The address then goes on to say : "To
make the country at large a showing of
strength they do not possess , the advocates
cf this policy openly avow the intention to
secure the national delegates from every dis
trict In the state , If need be , by depriving
voters of the state of the right , never be
fore questioned , of choosing their representa
tives and electing them through the entire
body of the state convention.
"And while these advocates of free silver
propose , If they find themselves In a major
ity In the state c"nvention , to deny all right
of representation to the minority , many of
them nt the same time avow their purpose
not to submit to the majority In the national
convention. If that majority shall bo adverse
to them , but to array the democracy of Mis
souri against the platform and nominee of the
national democracy.
"It Is the highest duty of all dcrnonra's who
hold to the ancient faith cf the party to no
longer tamely submit to n policy which has
brought upon the party nothing bin humilia
tion and Is fraught with menass to the best
interests of the cruntry. We , therefore , loyal
democrats , call on the voters of the party
everywhere throughout the state to mi.ko nn
open , organized and active opposition to the
effort to commit the party to a policy which
can only end In disaster , and , If all who
hold with us will assert themselves by
voice and by vote , we may ret rescue the
state from the threatened misfortune of a re
publican rule , "
A committee on organization , composed of
two delegates from each congressional dis
trict , was appointed , with ex-Gover.v/r Fran
cis as chairman. _
