Hurt, of Winona, Miss., door keeper. A St. Louis dispatch states that a! ‘petition is being circulated in that City, asking Judge Shepard Barcely, of the St. Louis circuit court, to be- come a candidate for supreme judge. The petition contains the names of 700 members of the bar. We fail to discover any of those deep political plots and maneuvers in the democratic party of Bates that Aus. prates so flippantly of. If Aus. would keep better posted in re- gard to what goes on in his own par- ty, it might stand a better show of success Sam Jones has already arranged to hold three meetings in Missouwi next year. He begins o meeting in| Kansas City on the first Sunday in January. About the 15th of May he goes to St. Joseph. and will hold 8 fifteen days mecting under the old tont used when he was there two years ago. The date of his Platts burg meeting has not been fixed yet, but it will probaby be in Av- gust. T. V. Powderly announces that he will resign as head of the Knights of Labor organizations. He says he is disgusted with the way affairs are go ing. The country is thoroughly dis- gusted with Mr. Powderly, and the probabilities aro that a large majority of the Knights of Labor hold him in like esteem. Within the last two years the receipts have dwindled from an enormous sum down to nearly nothing, and it is not surprising that the reformers are becoming disgust ed.—Jofferson City Tribune. What does this meant Rich Hill Enterprise.—Bunions, sore thumbs and look down noses is about ull we have to show for the fuss and feathers this summer. We hear that David Gotthelf will ask the city togive him the West park—park place—for a public enterprise, “going to pack pork to ship to Jerusalem,” and will be mad, have a sore thumb, _ if anyone objects to him having the park asa gift.

The hatchery and grounds comprise about seventeen acres, on which is located a fine spring, which is eaid to discharge over 500 gallons of water per minute. It has a tem- perature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit. It is as little affected by surface wat- ‘@r asanv spring in the whole country, nesrly always discharging about the game quantity and maintaining about the same temperature. The whole body of the land can be covered with @pting water to an average depth of - at least ten or twelve feet. _—_—_—_— Gov. Marmaduke, says the Chica- go Herald, will pass a portion of the winter in New York. He is the vic- tim of that common trouble, insom- nia, and has tried almost every known remedy without relief. First he entered o sanitarium, then he took the “rest cure,” and of course 4ried the faith cure too. Nothing helped him. He next went to Eu-| rope, whence he but recently return- ed, worse off, in fact, than when he sailed away. He says he often feels sleopy at night, but as soon as his head touches the pillow ail sleepi meee leaves him.

Phillips, to be | the officers of the Masonic Home, of defeated by persistently refusing to eome to his rescue. The editorial, considered from a literary stand-point jis a very brilliant production, such | as only one man in the great state of Missouri could write, and that man is Major Jno. N. Edwards, but from ;@a argam2ntative stand-point, the reasons therein ascribed for its course, must be condemned by every | true democrat who loves his party | for the great principles it embodies. It admits that its cause of action was the personel assailment of Dr. Munford by personal enemies who happened to be supporters of Col. Phillips. The Times as a great party journal should have risen above these little petty things, and by a dignified, honorable course, pursued the line of its duty, thereby giving the lie to its editor's malign- ors and vindicating him in the eyes of the world. We have no fight to make on the Kansas City Times, it is @ great and good newspaper, and its editor is one of the most brilliant wiiteis in the west, with the fire and dash to make him a most formid able foe to any cause or a friend to value and be proud of, but we do think that it made a serious and fa- tal blunder in that instance and while the twenty years of faithful party services may be pleaded as an extenuation of the offense it can not be a justification. The rattle trap. called through courtesy to old age a jail, is a burn- ing shame and disgrace to Bates county. It never was even in its balmiest days a fit place to keep prisoners. For fifteen years overy regular pannel of the grand jury com- posed of farmers and tax-payers, has condemed it as unfit and unsafe in which to keep prisoners. $12.000 or $15.00 would build a good jail and the interest on this amount would much more than be saved, simply on the transportation of prisoners to other counties, without considering the large sum of money taken out of the county every year for the keeping of these prsioners. So much for the financial view, without considering the disgrace to a county like Bates, in not having « safe or decent place to confine her criminals. No elaborate argument is needed in this matter. It is a simple truth that stands forth the observed of all observers. We believe that the peo- ple of Bates county would now vote this tax if they were given the oppor- tunity, and it would be an economic measure. Tho court should give us another chance to vote on this question. Amoung the decisions of the Sup. reme Court, handed down in Jeffer- son City last Monday, is one Johnson County case, which is of more than local importance. It is entitled— “W. H. DeArman, plaintiff in error vs. 8. P. Williams, defendant in er- ror. Affirmed,” As we have said the case is of more than local importance- Briefly it is as follows: DeArman was in June, 1882, resident of Washington town ship, Johnson County, and was poss essed of money, amounting to $2,135. for which he was assessed. On the first January 1883, he removed to Bates County, where he invested the money in a stock of goods, and was assessed and taxed on same, and paid {the required tax for the whole year | 1883. Subsequently the County Cierk | of Johnson County, extended the as- |Sessment against him, aggregating | the sum of $61.85, and issued a Tax | Bill under a law introduced by Col. | Rodgers, when in the Legislature, en ern nee | which he was about to place in the | hands of the Sheriff of Bates Co., to ‘collect. In the meantime, DeArman brought suit in the Circuit Court, to } Bates which he is Treasurer. The Home is organized under the laws of the State and all the preliminary steps have been taken to erect & Masonic Home indigent aged and infirm Ma- sons, their widows and orphans. Some seventy-five thousand dollars is now in the treasury and in process of collection—thirty-two thousand of which was turned over by the Knight Templars as the receipts of charity day, at their conclave in St.Louis, in 1886. The Home will be located either at Liberty, Clay Co., or St. Louis, likely the latter, which ques- tion will be decided at a meeting of the Board at Kansas City on the 23rd of this month. Capt. Tygard spent two days in St, Louis investigating proposed sites, he being one of the committee on location, and returned yesterday noon. We will give our readers a detailed account of this im- portant scharity in a future paper — Record. Mardered Three Wives. Columbia, 8. C.., Nov. 29.—Steph en Bailey who a week ago inhumanly butchered and then cremated his wife, has died of the effecta of wounds inflicted by his own hand shortly after being arrested. Just before h's death and when Bailey was in his good mind, he confessed to be murderer of three wives. He said: “Iam 70 years old and have been married three times. My first wife Catherine, I killed with a club and burried her in the garden. My second wife was Mary; I killed her with a brick, but will not tell what I did with her body. My last wife was untrue to me. I laid in wait for her and killed her with an ax. I got a wheelbarrow and took her to the furnace and put her in.” Bailey evinced norepentance. had forgotten dates and details. He The Nevada Mail has the follow- ing to say of Madame DeGarmo, in- dicted by the special grand jury last week for burglary at Rich Hill. Miss Birdie DeGarmo a daughter of Mrs. Nellie DeGarmo, who figur- ed in an elopement case at Rich Hill a short time ago, has taken up her home at Sedalia. The young son of the woman, a bright boy of 12 years of age, has gone to Carthage, while the mother of the two is in jail, and it is hoped by all good citizens of Nevada, will be sent to Jefferson City for as long a time as the law will permit in such cases. “Old Blondie,” as she was known to the police when in this city. lived in the Vicinity of the skating rink and was & terror to that end of town. If the county court could add on 2 little sentence for the woman's devilment here it would not be out of place. M. Grevy has resigned the Presi- dency of the French Republic and M.
