Tin: term of John M. I'alm.-r, the first Democratic 1'iiitod Stales Senator from Illinois since Stephen A. Dougla, expires on the 4th of March next. A Republican, it is confidently expected ly the Kcpublicanx, will succeed him. ( yx;kksmax T. V. Phillips with drew his name from the Republican conference of the Twenty-fifth district, and James J.

The villagers will came into complete possession next month, and have inanagetl the projv crty so well that its value has increased to f -Vjo.OiiO. It is a striking lesson in the art of using a forest without reduc ing its productive powers. ArrnxTiox is called to the fact that the young man who now bears the hon ored name of Ulysses S. (irant is one of the California delegates to the Re publican National convention, and that all the Republican delegates from that state are for free silver. The young man seems to have dejiarted from the footsteps of his distinguished father, who was one of the bulwarks of honest money, and to have chosen the path of his father-in-law, Jerome R. Chaffee, who is a silver miner. Wn kx icn. t. rant began to lie talked aliout for President in lslS, say the St, jouis i,urx -1 HiocrttT, there was a clamor for him to define his position with regard to the civil and political rights of the negioes, and other mat ers of political interest at that time, but he only "talked horse," as one of the interrogator! said, and refused to furnish any ammunition for his oppo nents. That suited the people, and they nominated and elected hini, and were so well pleased with him that they gave him a second term. Tun United States Supreme Court lias sustained the constitutionality of the law of Ixtuisiana requiring the mil roads of the state to provide separate cars for white and colored passengers. The opinion Mates that by analogy to the laws of congress and of many of the states, requiring the establishment f separate schools for children of the two raws, and other similar laws, the f-'iatute in i:cstion was within thecom Ieteney of the Louisiana legislature, exercising the polk power of the state. The judgment of the Supreme Coi.rt of t.ie state, tip'ioHing the law, was there fore affirmed." A si KPr.rsixii interview with Warner Miller on Piatt and McKinley was made public by President Ieorge E. Matth ews, of the New York State McKinley Ieague. It runsas follows: "Will Mor ton get a solid delegation from New York aside from the McKinley dele gates elected as such?-' "No, indeed; I tell you that one-half the delegation from this state will support McKinley in theSL Louis convention,'1 said Mr. Miller. " m Friday I lieard for the( first time of the attacks made by Piatt" on McKinley. I got them and read them. They are untruthful, infamous and outrageous. They are false and unfair. They are most unwi.-e, Piatt either wiil have to retract them before the convention or he will have written himself out of the Republican party into the ranks of the Democrats, Piatt can not support the Republican nomi nee unless he retracts them. They are absolutely i.iifounded and unjust I never heard of such an attack from such a inuree. I do not intend that Mr. Piatt t-hall pose as the absolute heod of a delegation and say that he can and will deliver it unbroken to any candi date he may select He can not do it He can not deliver me. He can uot de liver the delegation. I wanted to have that made clear when I made my state ment last Friday. I thought it was time for nie to rine up and let this mau know that he could int deliver what he is promising, and that he has not a solid delegation back of hint when he starts an infamou- attack on an able and splendid Republican. Half the dele gates from this state will support Major MiKiuk-y at SL IouU. They realize that they can not afford to be at odds with theiucomingadministration. AH that may be done can not whip them back." The political oensatiou of the hour is the visit of Senator tjuay to Major McKinley, at the latter's home in Can to., on Frid.iv last The friends ana : j enemies of both presidential aspirant j have since been "kept guessing" as to j 1 the nature of the conference, neither j of the participants admitting anything - except that their conference was en tirely satisfactory." While there is no longer any doubt about the nomina tion of the Major, Senator Quay still adheres to Lis former position, that he will be voted for in the St. Louis con vention, and will not withdraw from the contest until it U decided. The tiersoual relations existing be- ; tween both of these distinguished statesmen have always lieen of the in.4 friendly character, and those per sons who have antieiiated an open j rupture Utween them are likely to be sorely disappointed. While the pub lic may never learn what transpired at the Canton conference, it is safe to say that Senator Quay will have much to do with managing the coming cam- QUAY VISITS M KIKLET.

Senator Quay visited ex-Governor Mc Kinley at.his home in Catiton on Friday by appointment Neither gentleman will give an inklirgof ws Raid during their three hours cousei vation. When the train lairing Senator Juy pulled into the depot there were several groups of expectant people present to catch a glimpse of the Pensylvania sena tor. As he entered one side of the wait ing room Governor McKinley came from another direction and accosted the con ductor of the train and made inquiry fir the fenator. The railroad man indi cated the direction Senator Quay had gone and the governor started after the senator.

"Well, doc tor, we have come here this morning to sell you our bodies. How much will you give for them?" This was the startling proposition made to I)r. Thompson E Potter in his olllce here by a well-dresed young couple, who claimed Harrison county as their home, lnit who would not divulge their names. Dr. Thompson K. Potter is president of a medical college. The young man and woman said they were tired .of living an-1 desired a small advance on the pur chase price to prepare for death, the bal ance to ho sent to a relative after death Dr. Potter refused to buy the lodies un der the circumstance;, whether they died natural deaths or killed themselves. He explained to them that it was out of the natural course of business to buy them in that way. "Should you offer to sell your's wife's liody after sh is dead, or should she offer to sell yours after life is extinct, it will lc lawful for the college to buy it," said the physician; "but to buy them while you lioth are alive and in apparently good health would lie out of the question." Two Conventiani. As the time for the meeting of the Na tional conventions approaches it is evi dent that the interest will center on the financial doctrine of the platforms. In regard to the Democratic convention it is generally believed that the silver men will have a majority, though the admin istration is making a hard tight and may turn the tide. "Mr. Harrity, Chairman of the Demo cratic National committee, is making a strong fight for the gold standard. I'atti- son is his f.ivorite fir Ihs noiiiinati-in, bat he regards the financial plank of greater ifiilMirlawc than who shall lie the nomi nee. Being in New York the other lav he was asked : j "Will there le a Democratic split nt Chicago?" Mr. Harrity was asked. "I do not think there will beaboltat Chicago." he replied guardedly. "Who do you think will le the Demo cratic candidate?" was inquire:!. "We hive Paltison in Pennsylvania, who, we think, measures up to the stand ard of fitness, finance and popularity. Pennsylvania is for him, and we hope to see him nominated. But the fight to keep the party on the side of sound money is overshadow ing the question of who the nominee will be. That is the great strug gle to which we are bending our energies. "In orJer to win that fight we may be willing to cast aside all preference- and even cease to consider the uuestiou w hether the nominee would lie likely to carry his state." He admitted that the fight would be a hard one, but said he expected sound money to win iu the Chicago convention. The general impression however is that the silver men will win ; but that if they arelieateu they will bolt THE ST. lyOCIS -OXVEXTIOX. There is no longer any doubt that Mc Kinley will be the nominee at St. Louin. The only question is whether it will tie by acclamation on the first or second bal lot It is quite possible there will be no formal ballot. As to the platform it is quite certain the financial plank will endorse the gold stanciard. There ill lea (-harp strag gle over this but the unmistakable drift of sentiment is in favor of gold. While the conservatives in the convention may succeed in moderating the form of ex pression there can be no diiubt that it will embrace an endorsment of the aound est of sound money.

Mosoiw, May 21. -The formal cere mony of the coronation of Czar Nicholas II. and the Czarina occuned here to-day amiJ all the wealth and splendor that civilized and somt-barbarie nations could bring together. The display of the hitter furnished by the inhabitants of the minor kingdoms under the Czar's rule, waa a novel and picturesque feature of the great military and civic parade that preceded the religious exercises of the coronatkm. Moscow was a mass of life, movement and color to-day, and to-night is a oca of light, in w hich a tempest of mu.ie- and revelry is raging. The route of march, w hich was guard ed by close lines cf soldiery, was encom passed by dense maspps of people from all parts of the Russian empire and her dependencies. The utmost liberty, con sistent w ith proper discipline and order, was allowed, and the faithful Muscovites and Russians had the fullest privilege of witnessinghe official entry of their Czar into his ancient capital. Tho extent of decorations w ith nags, flowers, Venetian inasta and bunting in the na'.ional colors was only limited by the space available for it At 2:.T0 p. tu. a cannon shot an uneed that the pnx-ession had started from the palace, and immediately all the bells in Moscow set up a ringing, which they continued all day. The procession was probably the most gorgeous spectacle Moscow had ever beheld. The cortege was headed by three squadrons of Cir cassians and Don Cossacks in brilliant scarlet uniforms. At their head rode on a black horse Prince Polgoruki, grand master of ceremonies, in full uniform, followed by his escort and mounted drummers and trumpeters of the horse guards. The Cossacks were followed by a field marshal, leading a squadron of the Tsars Hussars of tho guard, one company each of the guard regiments of the Paylosk, then a squadron of dragoons in dark green, followed by grenadiers. Then fol lowed another master of the ceremonies mounted on a white horse, leading a mar shal follow ed by bearers of the imperial standard with tho family anus of the Emperor. Behind the standard rode deputies of the Asiatic tribes and people of the East Then came the standards of the provinces, borne by mounted men. Behind these marched, groups of depu ties from the various trades and guilds of Kussia, court dignitaries and municipal officials. Then, preceded ly the imperial grand marshals, Count Pathleti, and two squad rons of cuirassiers with eagle-erested helmets, the Emjieror himself appeared dressed in the full general's uniform of the Preolmjensky regiment of guards. The Kuipercr, w ho looked very well, constantly tiowcd his salutations to the -heering multitude. The Tsur rode a pure white horse, and was Immediately follower! by various male memtiers of the Russian imjierial family, foreign sover eigns ami their representatives, generals and officers of the su ite. Preceded by a regiment of grenadiers i-ame tho Empress in a magnificent gih'- ed state carriage, drawn by four pairs of cream-colored horses. Princesses and ladies of the court, the court chamlicr lains and gentlemen in waiting followed. Then came detachments of military, and finally many mounted masters of cere monies. On the route the Emperor stopped at three points, which marked the three cir cles liounding the different quarters of Moscow. Here he received addresses from the nobles and deputations. Arriv ing at the Kremlin the Emperor was re ceived by the priest of the chapel with the cross and holy water. As the Emperor passed through the Red square the choirs stationed in the tribunes along the Krem lin wall sang hymns of praise. The ap pearance o f the Czar was the signal for the firing of cannon, the ringing of bells and frantic cheers from the people. After leing tx-ing received by the Gov ernor teneral of Moscow and various civic delegations, the Emperor and Em press worshipped successively in the cathedrals of the Assumption, the Arch angel Michael and the Annunciation, w here te deums were sung, w hile a salvo of 71 great guns was fired outside,' The royal couple waa given t he l?nediction of the arch priest of the cathedral, and then retired to the hall of St Catherine, w here none but those intimately con nected with the imperial household were permitted to enter, and the cere mony was ended.

THE VTODZSEK Of SSTX1T, ?racher Hermann Believed to ho a Second Eolmet, Salt Lake, Utah., May 2L-Kev. Francis Hermann, pastor of tho First Scandinavian church hero, la charged w ith the uiurtler of two young women, is suspected of five other murders, and a warrant for his arrest has lieen issueti. Hermann is out of town. It U belie ved that Hermann's record as a murderer is little less extensive than that of Holmes. Last year Hermann'a wife died aud ha engaged Mlsa Clawton, an attractive young woman of 23, to look after hia anurtments in tho church building. In Septeiulier last Miss Clawsou suddenly disappeared and has not lieen seen alive since. Immediately alter her disappear ance, the pastor, although the weather was hot ordered a big firo built in tho church furnace. He sent everybody away and lighting the fire himself, kept it a g.i ing for hours, saying he wantod to give the flues a thorough test liefore cold weather came. Burned remains of a human body, sup posed to have lieen that of Miss Clawson, w ith blackened raaors, a butcher knife and part of a woman's garter buckles were found a few days ago in this fur nace. This caused John Sanson, a mem ber of Hermann'a congregation, to aw ear out a warrant for Hermann's arrest, chargiug tbat the preacher had murder ed Miss Clawson and cremated her body in the church furnace. Hermann's supposed second victim was Annie Samson. She was engaged to marry the preacher last February, in which month she mysteriously disap peared. It is believed Hermann killed her and ooueealed the remains some where about the church. Tho police have found a bloodstained barrel head in the church cellar, and the cellar floor and furnace door show blood stains. Rev. Hermann lea Salt Lake on May 7 for Kansas City, thence for Decorah, la., on a missionary tour. Since his departure he has not been heard of and telegrams sent to both Kansas City and Iow a have failed to bring any tidings of hinu Among his elfects here, which are in the hands of the police, are letters, ar ticles of jewelry and clothing belonging to both tho dead girls. Hermann Is of Scandinavian descent, but was born In England. He Is als.nt to years of age, exceedingly well educated. He has lieeu married three times. His first wife died in England under auspi cious circumstances. He w as pastor of a Scandinavian church at West Superior, Wis., in ISO aud I01, aud there married a highly respectable woman, who in less than a year died very suddenly, with her two-weeks old baby. An inquest was held but nothing beyond a suspicion of foul play was elicited. Hermann soon married again, and came to Salt Lake in 1-sjH with his wife. Before long a baby was born, and the mother and child died suddenly a few weeks after. Then Hermann's acquaintance with Miss Clawson commenced. The theory is that Hermann murdered her and An nie P. Samson, after lictraiyng them. As far as discovered, it is believed Her mann has murdered seven persons. Photographs and descriptions of Her mann have been sent all over tho coun try.

May 21.- For more than 20 ytvrs this quaint old town has had what is known as.l village 1k-I1. It is swung iietweer two high upright pole, ami was paid for by public sutw-ription. Every day t!i 5-ll is rung threo times at5:W o'clock A. M., U o'clock A.M., and I o'clock in the afternoon. The leading object of its ringing is to announce to farmers and other working people the time of day. The first bell in the morning at Bow mansvilleis the signal for the people to arise, and in summer most of the resi dents are out that early. The 11 o'clock bell announces that it is the time to leave the fields and prepare for dinner. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon they prepare for supper when the bell rings. This bell saves the farmers and town folks the necessity of providing dinner bells of their own. For six years Charles Hess, a eigarmaker, has rung the bell, which the people in this vicinity rely upon as much as other folks do their watches and clocks. Blood neans sound health.
