The silver forces won a decided victory in Webb City yesterday. There was a special election for mayor, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mayor F. M. King, last month. There were two candidates in the field, J.

W. Frey, a free silver Republican, who was nominated by the Democrats, and L. D. Hare, the Republican nominee. Frey was elected on a vote of 601 to Hare 270, a majority of 331.

The total vote, 871, is considered strong for a special election. The lecture on Napoleon at the Presbyterian church tonight should be attended by every person in Galena. The church people are giving this lecture for the benefit of the people and not for the profit to them. The admission of 10 cents only covers the expense of illustrating the lecture with 60 fine stereoptican views. The lecture would cost two or three times the amount named if given again.

FASHIONS IN MEN'S NECKWEAR. The favorite colors for winter cravatB will be deep reds and greens, the two often mingled in brocaded materials.

Bright pale green, ripe gooseberry and coronation red, mauve and heliotrope, orange and yolk-of -egg yellow for neckwear axe all patronized; like wise such, colors striped with white or black and bright plaids. Frenchmen are going in for the extravagantly high collars that the royal princes have brought into fashion in London, turned down at the points. They are also exhibiting a very gaudy taste in cravats. First-class houses in Paris no longer sell made-up ties, although the tradesmen whose customers are of all sorts and conditions are obliged to furnish them, as it requires a certain amouni of leisure and some skill to tie a cravat properly. Beetroot and ripe gooseberry the former is in reality only a deeper shade of the latter will be fashionable for gentlemen's neck handkerchiefs, silk underwear and hose, whereas white, striped and checked with porcelain blue or bright pink obtains for cambrio pocket handkerchiefs and shirt fronts.

Dry Goods Economist. PESTS ON THE WING. Mud wasps manifest great ingenuity, not only in building their nests, but in placing them in localities where they vill not be injured by rain or predacious animals. The wasp, like the bee and almost every other insect, is infested with parasites. Wasps have heen captured which had two or three dozen parasites clinging to their bodies.

The eye of a fly" is bo constructed as to bring the entire horizon within hia circle of observation; a fact which explains the extreme alertness of these in-, sects in escaping attack. The common cheese fly is only a tenth of an inch long. It deposits about 850 eggs in the cracks of cheese, though, if not able to find this substance, it readily selects another. The iwasp is an insect highwayman. Wasps have often been observed to rob bees while these industrious workers, laden with the fruits cf an expedition, are returning to the hive.

The bite of the mosquito would scarcely be noticed, were it not for the fact that the insect injects into the wound an acrid juice, which causes the itching and painful sensation. WHIM-WHAMS.

Dice almost exactly similar to those now used have been discovered in Thebes and other Egyptian cities. Dice of ivory and marble have been found in the ruins of Roman houses in various parts of Great Britain? Both Aeschylus and Sophocles, in their tragedies, allude to the game of dice as being common in their day. The first known record of regulating dice-making and selling in England was in the ninth year of George 1S28.

French historians say that the introduction of dice into France was in the reign of Philip Augustus, 1180 to 1223. According to the Greek historians, dice were the invention of Palamedea about 1244 B. C. It is certain, however, that the pavre is of much earlier date. A three-legged, full-blooded collie dog was born in the kennel of Mr.

J. Pier-pont Morgan last week. One-armed at the age of seventy-two, A. B. Jones, of Coweta county, works his own farm of 27 acres in the uplands, makes a living, and keeps clear of debt.

The bankers of this city were notified today of a new $20 United States counterfeit note, same as described in a previous issue, has been discovered in which the following changes occur: The treasury number has been changed to "A 7256282" and appears' in the usual place and the character used by the government to prevent alterations of the number only follows the number. The words "Register of the treasury" and "Treasurer of the United States" have been added in the new issue, and the rounded white space above the shield held by the female figure, right end of the note has been transferred to the left side of the shield.

The new 1 United States certificate, series of '91 check letter Tillman Register, Morgan treasurer, portrait of Stanton, also new $5 certificate of '91, check letter Tillman Register, Morgan treasurer, portrait of Grant. These counterfeits are produced from etched plates. The lathe work and small leiiering especially are bad, being blurred and indistinct. There are silk threads to be found in these last two notes. It would be well for everyone outside of the bankers to give these described notes their special attention.

Pittsburg, Kansas, Headlight. Look out for this new counterfeit. Read the description carefully and be particular that you know the man who presents a $20 bill for change. Webb City Sentinel. BETTER TIMES COMING.

There is a more buoyant feeling in mining circles the past few days than has been evident for some time past. Inquiries as to investments are becoming more numerous, especially from the east where already a reaction has hegun. The ore buyers are sanguine of an immediate rise in prices after election, and one prominent operator who is in close touch with the money centers says there will be a rush of capital into the lead and zinc districts before the close of the year. To say the least of it, there is a tone in commercial circles the past few weeks which is increasing and the TIMES would predict with every confidence that the year of grace, 1897, will inaugurate a period of prosperity unparaleled in the annals of the country. It was expected that Hon.

J. D. McBlevery, of Ft. Scott, would address the silver forces in Galena next Monday night, but a letter from him to this office received this morning states that he cannot come. However, some good speaker will be present on Monday night and our people will be permitted to hear the truth.

The Russell, Journal of a recent date contains the following: The Wear Coal company, of To- peka, is negotiating for the purchase of several sections of land in township 15, range 20, in the southwest corner of Ellis county, says the Hays Republican.

The agents of the company claim the land is for stock ranch pur poses, but it has leaked out that zinc has been found in paying quantities there and that the Wear Coal company will buy or lease all the land along the Smoky Hill river, commencing on said river about the center of Trego county, and running east along the river to about the center of Ellis county, and then extending three miles each side of said stream. Their agents have been busy in the register of deeds office the past week looking up titles to the land in the above-described district. BEN HUR.

The Ladies' Silver Club of Col umbus held its weekly session in the Alliance hall last Friday. There are now 230 members. An interesting article was read by Dr.

While this dive, this murderous, this infamous den of iniquity was existing it was a constant menace to society and the good order of the community, and if it is not now shut out forever, there will be a law and order league that will shut it down.

Two deaths within four months as a resultant of this debased, immoral dive will end in a shot gun visit from mounted horsemen.
