Many of the la- | dies were enrohed in the most ele- j gant and costly costumes, and witn | womanly loveliness to correspond, the scene was at once gay and grand. The banquet given m honor of was a gorgeous occas- ion. The supper was prepared by Weaver & Kain, bakers and con- fectioners, and was one of the neat- est and most complete we ever pre- sided oyer.

Tothe Mayers speech, the thairman, Mr. tingle. responded in amost happy effort. Rey. W. V. Ilamil, also of Ap- pleton, was then introduced and de-— flivered a mcst excellent address to the convention. The usual committees on creden- tials and order of business were ap pointed and reported in due time. Several motions and questions were | discussed, regarding the object, and } further conduct of the Association, the result of which was naming of jthe same as the Southwest Press Association, and the appointing of a executive committee of five to Prepare constitution and by-laws, and fix a program for the next meet- | ing which meets in Rich Hill during the month of November this year, the exact date to be decided upon by H the committee.

The committee 1s doubtless right, and we direct the attention of the postal de- partment to a certain E. Kaub, St. Leuis, Mo., who is mentioned in lottery advertisements, published in Kansas City, as the proper individu- al to whom those who want te try their fortunes in lettery ventures should address their letters and re- mit their money. The publication ot these advertisements, in deliber- | ate violation of the state statute mak- ; tional Bank. ing it a felonious ottence, seems to be regarded with indifference by the otherwise efficient officers of the law in Jackson county, and we judge that the postal officials make no at-| tempt to prevent Mr. E. Kaub’s re- ceipt of his lottery mail. These are not trival matters, because such fla- | grant and undisturbed violations of | law cultivate a contempt for it which breeds greater and more serious crimes. —[Mo. Republican. The 0. & Ml.
