ST. LOUIS. Dec. S.-The Globe-Democrat's Chester (111.) correspondent f-ays: "Kaskaskla. the flrt capital city of the State of Illinois, will fooii bo wiped out of official existence by an order of the postmaster general, effective on the 1st day of January. Only five families now live in the once prosperous town, and the department has decided to abolish tho Kaskaskia postofflco and accommodate the residents through the extension of a rural free delivery route from Fort Gae. "Time was when Kaskaskia wis a thriving town a mushroom prowth of stately buildings, rough-hewn cabins and canvas shelters a central point la tho Western wilderness and a trading post known far and wide. It wns predicted then that one day Kaska.'kla would become the metropolis of the West and vie with Eastern cities In size and prominence. The town was situated on the Okaw, a river spanned by a substantial bridge, and a short distance west llowed th? Mississippi river, where a ftrry was operated by Augustus St. Mary

hetween the Illinois and Missouri shores. The town was located at a X'oint where the worn trails front tho south, the north and the east united and swept westward in the broad path followed by the pioneers in their journey toward the setting nun. "General Lafayette In 1MT honored Kaskaskia by a visit and stopped beneath tho roof of one of the few houses tili standing within the limits of the old town. He predicted a great future for the bustling place. Then came the devastating l!ool of 1MI, and forty years later the Mississippi cut s channel through the sandy yoil above the town and unite; Its waters with those of the Okaw, or Kaskaskia, rher, leaving the town on rn island and destroying all its future, prospects. Lot after lot and block after block were engulfed by the mad waters of the united rivers and people kept moving away until now the live families and the tive houses are all that remain of the place which at one time had iuch a brilliant future and for which so much was predicted. Many of the Inhabitants removed to the now town of Kaskaskia, two miles south, where the village organization is still maintained." llattlenhip Konrnnrc Still. NKW YORK. D.e. S. The United States first-class battleship Kearsarge left port early thU afternoon to join the North Atlantic squadron.

London Stock Stronger. LONDON. Dec. S.-The outlook on the Stock Kxchanpre was somewhat brighter during the past week owing to the messuge of President Roosevelt, the speech of the Prince of Wales and the unexpectedly heavy captures in South Africa.

YVhnt I Said About Americans nntl the lreidenti MesuKe. MEXICO CITY, Doc. S.-La patria, a Liberal newspaper of this city, warns the Mexicans that they may not hope to look to Europe for help against the North American aggression so much talked of by the clerical papers, but adds: "We fear nothing from the United States. That great Republic rlants itself on the Monroe doctrine and that of peace in this hemisphere. The United States offers as a pledge of its sincerity the support they gave Mexico during her war with Napoleon III." Ll Tiempo, a Clerical organ, after waiting several days, emits its opinion on President Roosevelt's message, which, it says, is characterized by "an arrogant, and vainglorious tone. Roosevelt is a politician, given to talk, whereas McKinley worked more than he talked. McKinley was more to be feared as a statesman and politician." El Gorreo Fspanola, an organ of the resident Spanish colony, praises Roosevelt's mfssage as being well written and full of altruism, optimism and ambrosia, but for all his line sentiments there is Cuba in servitude to the United States by reason of the Piatt law embodied in her new Constitution, lt is u badge of Yankee servitude. Ill Popular, a penny dally, praises General Diaz's doctrine as a complement to the Monroe doctrine rather than Its interpretation. Obituary. ZANESVILLE, O.. Dec. S.-Fleetwood II. King, a member of the Republican State Central committee, died last night, aged forty years. He was recently appointed an lnsiector of free rural delivery routes, but was never able to enter upon the work. Prof. VT. G. Williams Stricken. DELAWARE, O., Dec. 8. William G.

F. T. Fowers, president of the National Association of Professional Raseball Leagues, has written to Secretary Farrell, directing him to send a circular letter to all leagues and associations composing the National Association notifying them of the expulsion of Thomas J. Hickey, of St. Joseph, Mo., from the National Association. Mr. Powers takes this action on the affirmative vote of the Eastern League, New England League, Western Association, Connecticut State League, New York Stato League and Southern League. The charge was made that Hickey, in becoming president of the American Association, had not. kept faith with tho National Association. President Powers has addressed him the following letter: "By request of the members of the National Association, you are hereby deposed as member and chairman of the board of arbitration, and notified that your connection with the National

Association is terminated."

It Will Attempt to Place n Club In 3Iilwnukee. It i3 said that tho Western League proposes to fight the American Association by placing a club in Milwaukee, and will concentrate Its effort's to secure the lake town. This makes about the fifth city where Manning and his crowd threaten to do battle with the new organization. Omaha was tho first chosen, then Manning said he would fight It out in Kansas City. Later the Western League said lt would remain In St. Paul and Minneapolis, and now it is given out that Milwaukee will be the scene of the fiercest war. Fred Gross, who was connected with the American League club In Milwaukee, and who was reported as going 1o St. Louis with Killilea, will stay in Milwaukee, It Is claimed, where he will be given a Western League franchise and will fight Havnor and Quin, of the new organization. This piece of news emanated from Ban Johnson's headquarters in Chicago. It looks as if Johnson will try to make the Western League a farming ground for the American league, and will also try to smooth James Manning's temper by helping him out in the Western League. If the Western League d?ems it advisable to fight Henover and Cjuin In Milwaukee it will have Its hand? full. Gross Is a Milwaukee business man. but so are Havenor and Quin, and they have dollars to use in the national game where Gross will use pennies. The Milwaukee story i not taken very seriously in the Indianapolis camp. A story comes from Milwaukee that Harry Quin is authority for the statement that the Omaha American Association franchise will l- removed to Louisville, and that V. H. Watkins is In favor of the? change. Watkins is in favor of keeping Omaha and keeping the circuit as first announced Intact throughout next year. He thinks Louisville would make a good town, but does not believe It would be advisable to transfer the Omaha franchise to that city. ' ami:hica m:a;ii; avi:hac;i:s.
