To our first call for subscription money on January Ist, many gener- ously responded; but not all, quite. There are a few wko are owing us for over one year back subscription still waiting—perhaps till they get the money. We desire to renew the request that, if you hav’nt means enough to pay all, come in and pay what yon can—every mite aids in keeping the wolf trom our door this cold weather. The House of Representatives of the Missouri Legislature has passed a resolution, fixing March 15th as tae date of adjournment. Mrs. Pearson, residing near Co!- umbia, this State, shot and killed a man who entered her house and made improper advances during the absence of her husband, on the 27th of February. -_- We are in receipt of a neat little book from J.

THE COURT KEFUSES. Some time since the Timxs called attention to the apparent careless management of mine No 1, at Rich Hill, which had resulted in the death of several miners. The law govern- ing mines beingvery rigid, and the Mine Inspector, Mr. Wolfe. believ- ing it to have been violated in this instance, served notice on the Rich Hill Mining Co. that an application for an injunction to restrain further work in the mine till an escape put in, would be made to the County Court on Monday. Accordingly representatiyes of the company with about twenty-four miners appeared before the court, and through, their attorney’s T. J. Smith of this city, and M. L. Brown ef Rich Hill, defended their cause, while S. P. Franciscoe, Presecuting Attorney, appeared for the State. The case was argued at some length resulting in the Courts decission_re- fusing to restrain operation in the mine upon the reasons alleged. Though the court declined to sus- tain the action of Mr. Wolfe, it does not signify that he was wrong in calling the Mining Company to ac- count for their refusal tocomply with the law. The Mine Inspector did no morejthan his duty in bringing the matter before the Court, and we presame that tribunal of justice de- cided the question more upon the question of jurisdiction than the real merits of the case. eee Prot.

In view ot the recent experience a number of Butler’s citizens have had regarding this ‘‘option’’ busintss, we the people against such frauds, hut for tear some have not had the op- portunity of knowing the experience of others, the Tuszs would advise slow action.in embarking in such business, in fact they had better not embark at all unless they have a surplus amount of money to give away to sharpers fora bit of valuable experience. Prohibition is no goin Missouri. Notwithstanding the clamor of fa- matics, the piles of petitions that consumed valuable time that might have been devoted to better business and tho perfect confidence that seemed to pervade the charmed circle of modern philanthrepist, the Legis- lature has effectually put an end to the question ot a Prohibition emend- ment. The bill submitting the amendment being reported adversly from the committee on constitution- al amendments on February 28th, the questioncame up in the House as a test and was decided by a vote of 58 in faxor of submitting the amerdment to 6S against. There- fore, letit be observed that Prohibi- tion is dead 1n this State. The remains of John Howard Payne will arrive in New York some time in this month, but the tuneral ceremonies will not be ob- served till the gth of June. Mr. Corcoran, the gentleman who is having the dust of the wanderer brought back to this country for final interment 1s reported as saying: “I hope that every paper in the country on the gth of June will pub- lish once more ‘Home Sweet Home,’ while we bury its author for the last time.”’ The Legislature ot Illinois has be- tore It a bill which it is stated will probably become a law. making the education ot children compulsory.
