WEDNESDAY JAN. rath, 1887 Secretary Lamar and Mrs. Wil- liam S. Holt were married at Macon Georgia, Wednesday morning. ————e John Roach, the great ship builder is gradually dying from the effects of a cancer in the roof of his mouth. Senator Stanford is said to have spent fully $10,000 in purchasing Christmas presents for the poor of Washington. ee EB * We thank our very kind friend Austin for his adyice, and it ought to be exceilent considering the mark- ed success that has attended his efforts én the journalistic field for the past twenty years. Senator Logan’s feet had hardly cooled before there was a halt dozen patriotic Illinois gentlemen after his shoes. We anticipate a big fight for the last crumb. The State will go democratic in 1SSS, Among other curiosities unearthed érom the dusty relics ot the Jefferson county, Ind., court house was the in- dictment found against Jetterson Dayis tor killing Wm. Nelson at the Galt house, Sept. 29, 1862. The Kansas City papers are yery bitter against the site selected for their new court house by the million- aie county commissioner. It the focation is not suitable, move it again and keep up the real estate boom. Lawrence Kansas, had a quarter million dollar fire Saturday night. An gntire block of business houses was burned. Lack of water pre- vented the fire department from working to advantage and inside of a half hour the water supply was entirely exhausted. —_—_——__. Hon. T. P. Bashaw, of Paris, Monroe county, has been appointed district attorney by President Cleve fand, to succeed Bliss of St. Louis Judge Bashaw is well known through out the State, having served as speaker of the Legislature six years ago, and was a prominent candidate for Governor two years ago. He is an able lawyer and will fill the office with grace and dignity, We publish in another place in this paper a list of bills which our Representative Hon. J. H. Hinton, has drawn up and will present be tore the house for passage. There ts not one of them but shoul be come a law. We are glad to see that Mr. Hinton has. started right and haye every encouragement that he will make one of the most useful! members of the present Legislature. Anincidentrelated in the St. Louis Republican of Dec. 24,is as tollows: About a week ago the district com- missioners received a letter addressed to the ‘Mair,’ and written by a little girl named Viola Jones, who iived in a small town in Missouti. The little one inquired in uncertain and badly spelled English why it was that her tather, A. J. Jones, who served through the war, could not get.a pension, when so many others could,and concluded her brief epistle dy stating that her tather was sick and too poor to employ a lawyer, The commissioners immediately forwarded the letter to Commission- er of Pensions Black and yesterday were notified by the latter that Mr. ones’ pension had been granted with a tull allowance of back Pay. On receipt ot this the commissioner immediately wrote to the httle girl, intorming her of the result of her inquiry, and as the letter will reach her about Friday it is probable that there will be rejoicing in one house- at least, on Christmas day. 7 TOO NICE. The fine-haired dude of the petti coat organ, whose bump ot modesty 1s abnormaly developed, to the det | riment ot his rational taculties, draws i i kerchiet tightly over | J Jeu) angen | from Bates county, says he will in- his bosom and holds his hands in holy horror over a news item in the Times of last week. His modesty has received a great shock and it is doubtful it it will survive. The Times exposed a villian in his hetlish work of destroying an innocent little girl, not in her teens, and bringing sorrow and trouble into peaceful househulds, at the time shielding his netarious and damnable acts under the mimsterial garb, and our inno- cent and guilless lamb pleads that such things are immoral and should not be mentioned. His idea, we presume, of journalism is that such consumate scoundrels should be al- lowed to go in peace, perhaps to another neighborhood and repeat his devil’s own work all because, for sooth, some over sensitive nature might be shocked by the exposure. We say away with such sickly senti- mentalism. The sooner the press, and the ministry, too, have the courage of their convictions to stand up and expose such things happening under the very shadow of our homes the better will it be for society. The Times will continue on the side of the just and innocent, and will ftear- lessly expose such awful and cruel wrongs, come they from the palace of the high or the hut of the low. We have no apologies to offer for anything we have published, THE PEOPLE VS. RAILROADS. The election of Joshua W. Alex- ander to the Speakership of the House has much more significance than would at first appear to the casual observer who has not made a study of the two great forces which have been clashing tor a number of years, not Only in Missoun, but in every state and territory inthe Union —that of the people vs. the great It has been a fierce and bitter contest, and the railroads have not only been holding their own, but by the exertion ot the vast power attendant on wealth have been able to steadily increase the grip upon the necks of the people. At the meeting of the last legislature the agent of the railroad, ex-Lieut. Gov. Brockmier, sat in his gilded cage under the shadow of the state house dome, extending his hospi- talities to members and every one else who had the least influence in legislation. It was an easy and so enjoyable a thing tor members to drop into these handsome parlors ot this prince of good tellows, where the choicest brands of wines and malt liquors could be quaffed without price, and the delicious tumes of the pure Havana enjoyed to the heart’s content. But, ah! the toils otf the serpent that was being fastened around the unsuspecting member who was thus so blind as to be led tothe Belshazar feast. And then the free tickets, not passes, tor a member could not ride upon a pass, but a genuine ticket, ready stamped asitithad been purchased at the company’s office before starting on the journey. Withthese and many other devices was the law making power of the great state of Missouri used to further the interests and powers of this giant monopoly to the detriment of hercitizens. This time the tempter came not in the person of Brockmier, but the chiet among the company’s agents in the state, a man who has forced himself, by the assistance of this power, to the very front of the great democratic party in the state, and who attempted to use that political power by one fell swoop capturing the Speaker ot the House; but, thank God, this time John O’Day had reckoned without his host, and the time was not ripe when he could throw open defiance in the tace ot the people, whose rights have been vindicated railroad corporations. by the election of Mr. Alexander. | It is to be sincerely hoped that the individual members ot the present legislature will be on their guard and not be captured by a trick of those who have failed in a legitimate way. We have no doubt that Hon. R. H. Whitelaw is a most excellent gentleman, but he was very unfortu- nate in the choice ot his friends. mee SOME PROPOSED LEGISLATION. —__ +s 0- What Our Representative is Doings. troduce bills as tollows: To prohibit pooling and discrimi- nation by railroads and to enlarge the powers of the Railroad Commis- sion. Providing that mining corporations and operators shall pay their em ployes twice a month and at equal periods. Providing that coal miners mav, at their own expense,employ a check weighman in addition to anu with the same powers and penalties as the one employed by the mine. Dividing the state into two or more mining inspection districts, district inspectors to have power to appoint deputies, Providing that the waght of pit cars shall be plainly marked on the cars, and that cars be brought to a stand-still on the scale when being weighed. Providing that telegraph compa- nies shall not employ aty one under a1 years of age as night operator, and that the service of night operators shall not exceed six consecutive hours. Mr. Hinton has prep?red bills re- lating to township organzation, sales under deed of trust, incutable insane, teachers’ certificates, and terms of school directors. Also,a bill mak- ing the larceny of oyer $5,000 pun- ishable by a term of from ten to twenty-five years in the penitentiary, instead ot only five years as now. This last would apply to express robbers hke Wittrock et al. Shenff Glazebrook received his first bourders the first of last week, and a harder looking set 9f custom ers one would not like to meet after dark in a secluded spotunless, like the printer. he had his pocket book as free of the filthy lucre as his soul was ot guilt. The priso- ners bear the romantic names of John Jones, William Brown, John Smith and David Louterback. They were sent up from Rich Hill, three for petit larceny and Jones for car- rving concealed weapons. Such tellows are in their element when they can get their board tree from the county ’till the roses come again, then they will be out and off for greener pastures. The Sheriff will probably make them earn their bread on the rock pile, as she should. By request of Elder Tucker we publish the tollowing card which ex- plains itself: Butler, Mo., Jan. roth, 1887. The following are the facts rela- tive to Elder J. H. Tucker’s remarks to me after preaching the funeral of my daughter: He-called me to his buggy, and asked me it I could cal! and see him the next day, as he had a httle livery bill to pay, but he did not name the amount. Also said he haited to say anything about :t. He has made no charges for his own services. TI hereby subscribe my James WricuHr. name. Once upon a time an editor in search of food was compelled to pawn his diamond shirt stud for a loat bread, While conveying the tumble meal to his castle, a hungry dog ran off with it, and a few mo- ments later robbers relieved the editor of his gold watch and eighty dollars in money. Instead ot being rattled by these untoward incidents the editor smilingly remarked, “I thank the gods that I have still my appetite left.’” We are taught by this fable that true contentment is the greatest of all journalistic boons. —Eugene Field, One day last week Dr. King and wife, of Sedalia, appeared before Governor Marmaduke and presented him with a petition signed by over 1,700 persons praying him to pardon young Emmet King, son of the doc- tor’s who is serving a six years sen- tence for embezzling the funds of the Savings Bank ot Sedalia, while acting as bookkeeper. The Gover- nor took the matter under advise- ment. The Sedalia papers report ‘When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, the Governor <efused to take any action in the matter. * IT WAS A MURDER. A Missouri Mystery Cleared Up. oe Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 3,—Hon. | Dying Confession of a Convict Un- H. Hinton, the sapeeoeneer’ « ravels an Old Case. —— A Prominent Bates County Man's Death by Violence. Hanmbal, Mo., Jan. 6.—On the morning, of July 25, 1884, the dead body ot Judson C. Armstrong, a prominent tarmer of Bates county, was tound on the Chicago and Alton railroad track near Odessa. it had been run over by a train and was horribly mangled. The coroner’s investigation of the tragedy developed no satisfactory explanation of the manner or means ot death, but suspicions existed that he had met with toul play. The mystery of two vears was solved Wednesday by the death-bed confession of a convicted train rob- ber in the Missouri penitentiary, who revealed the story ot the crime, con- fessing that he had robbed Armstrong of several hundred dollars, murdered him, and then, to divert suspicion, placed the dead body on the track, where it was run over and crushed This is the storv as it comes irom Warden Marmaduke to J. M. Arm- strong, the murdered man’s brother in this city. Summit. Plenty of snow but no water. Loafing, hunting and hauling water seems to be the order of the day at present. S. C. McCutchen has returned from Kentucky where he had been sojourning a few days. H. Payne has moved back to Polk county. Mr. P. says there are more girls in Polk county ot marriageable age, and as he is a widower we don’t doubt the assertion. Wallis Cheatham’s best girl went off to Indiana and lett him to mourn her departure. Stotts and Lewis have rented the Wm. Rudy farm fortwo years. Mr. R. did well in renting to these gen- tlemen for they are among the best farmers in Bates. For convenience 1n this extremely cold weather the following named gentlemen and ladies have united in the holy bonds of matrimony: Jas.

Jake Winer, secretary of the Far- mers’ Alliance No. 38, had a good supply of groceries stolen trom his wagon on Friday evening last in the city ot Butler. Wilf say to John Henry, the Bal- lard correspondent, that the nim rods that got badly left in that shooting match at Ballard were most too ac- commodating, for when the Butler shooters got there there was but two turkeys to shoot for, and the Ballard boys wanted to borrow their guns to shoot with, and of course it is not the nature ot Butler shooters to re- tuse, and 1f they did not get the tur- keys their guns won them, for which they did not receive thanks.

The cleansing, healing, purifying influences of Hood’s Sarsa- parilla are unequalled by any other medicine. “TT take pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for it has done wonders for me. I had salt rheum very sever¢ly, affecting me over nearly my entire body. Only those who have suffered from this disease in its worst form can imagine the extent of my affliction. Itried many medicines, but failed to receive benefit until I took Hood’s Sarsapariila. Then the disease began to subside, the Agonizing Itch and Pain disappeared, and now I am entirely free from the disease. My blood seems to be thor- oughly purified, and my general health is greatly benefited.” LyMaN ALLEN, Sexton N. E. Church, North Chicago, M1. “My son had salt rheum on his hands and the calves of his legs, so bad that they would crack open and bleed. He took Hood's Sar- saparilla and is entirely cured.” J.B. STAN- ‘TON, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. From 108 to (35 “1 was seriously troubled with salt rheum for three years, and receiving no benefit from medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Iam now entirely cured of salt rheum; my weight has increased from 108 Ibs. 10135.” Murs. ALICE Suiru, Stamford, Conn. If you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood @isease, try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
