The holidays have come and gone, and a majority of our merchants spent their leisure time in invoicing last week, preparatory to starting in afresh with the new year. Some means by which the poor of our city could be eared for should be adopted. We have them and many of them are worthy of the sympathy and charity of our people. The entire four pages of the La- mar Missourian is taken up witha review of the city and county. The showing is a good one and the Mis- sourian deserves great credit for its enterprise. The stockholders of the Record on record in the county recorder's office, evidently work in the interest of that paper from the orders, trust salen and sheriff’ssales they throw Yes, Judge Sullens is a stockhold- er in the Ties to the enormous amount of $100 and his dividends are sufficient to support him without work, but he is not the kind of tockholder that the Record has.

Usual seryices on Sunday. The following officers of Bates lodge No. 180, I. 0. O. F., were in- stalled for the ensuing term of six months Monday night. J.R. Davis, N. G.; Andy Shane, V. G.; A. H. Culver, Recording Sec’y.; Harry Robinson, Permanent Sec’y.; J. N. Gipson, Treasurer. We see from the St. Louis Repub- ican. that L. E. Sackett, formerly a Butler boy, son of our fellow towns- man, Filer Sackett, who has been running on the Cincinnati & South- ern railroad as news agent, was bad- ly injured in a railroad wreck in the southern part of Kentucky, Sunday. We publish in another column the full particulars of the capture and disposal of the brutal Kelly family in No-Man’s-Land, Indian Territory. The regret to be expressed is the es- cape of the old man, but it isto be hoped he has been recaptured and disposed of by this time. The churches of our city dispens- ed with their usual service Sunday evening and held a mass temperance meeting in the Baptist church, con- ducted by Mr. Critchfield, a temper- ance lecturer from Ohio. The large building waspacked with our people. Mr. Critchfield is 2 very eloquent speaker end was applauded many times during his talk. Rev. McFarland, of the M. E. church (south), of this city, was called by telegram to Corder Station, Lafayette county, to pfeach the fu- neral of an aged lady frietd who had died at that place. In conse- quence he did not fill his pulpit Sunday. The lady whose funeral he preached was up in her nineties and had been an intimate friend for over forty years. In regard to the flings at us, at the old county court or W. T. Smith, we care nothing. These matters were adjudicated long ago and we do not propose to discuss them now. —Record. Yes, they were adjudicated by turning the rascals out, and the people will see that the same temp- tations are not again put in their way. The citizens of Butler will extend to Mr. and Mrs. Max Weiner their sincere sympathy in the loss of their only child Lawrence M. His death occurred Sunday evening and was caused by a severe attack of pneumonia. Lawrence was about fhree years old and a bright, hand- some and promising child and was doted on by his father and mother. The remains were placed in a han4- pared some casket and shipped to St. Louis for burial ov Monday evenings train, | ship, Monday a Butler and Bates shouid put in a bid for.

We are glad that Mr. Clark has taken this matter in hand and hope he will not stop until the desired object is attamed. We are satisfied the company will actin the matter when it is brought to their attention, for they certainly want to look af- ter the comfort of their patrons. company room at ti eL Spicy Cullings from the Foster News. The taxable property in Bates county is about $8,000,000. The jail that the grand jury thinks we need will cost about $15,000. To the Adrian Advertiser: ‘Please find enclosed four cents which will prob- ably pay your share of the jail levy if the amount was paidat once. Say nothing about the county being too hard up to build a jail.” The News would like to know what position our union labor friend, Keller, holds on the Advocate, since the consolidation. He can’t mix ink, as the appearance of the Journal conclusively showed, the weather is too cold for cockroaches to trouble the paste pot, and it surely don’t occupy his entire time to keep up the fires. The local option question looks to the newspapers of Bates county arger than an elephant and seven times as hardto handle. The Tres fainted on the start and refused to take sides. The Democrat put its war paint on last week and jumping into the middle of the floor, said it would not remain neutral, but would take whatever side it deem proper. This week it crawls into its hole and whispers: “In another column we publish the local option law without comment. Read and weigh the question in your own mind.” In another place it makes a fewremarks on the subject and then apologizes for what it did say. To the News the question looks fierce as a rattle- snake. At present we have comfort- able quarters astride the fence, where we expect to remain until we get pushed off. Just now we are writing an editorial about ‘the great moulder Of opinions—the press,” which we have agreed to submit to the respective editors of the Demo- crat and Trwes—co-workers in the “moulding business”—before publi- cation.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 24.—The most sensational arrest yet occurring under the “Murray law” was that of Capt. Geo. E. Harris last night for selling liquor. Capt. Harris is presi- dent of the city council and repre-| sents the Fourth Ward in that body. | The indictment represents forty counts, and conviction means jail for over three years. The prisoner was placed under $4,000 bonds. Capt. Harris has been carrying on the wholesale liquor business as the rep- resentative of eastern firms. He is one of themost prominent men of the city, both financially and _politi- cally. Sherman Will Fight Lamar’s Confirma- ; tion.

He has aspired to this honor before, and surely no man in the state is better entitled to exer cise this laudable ambition, than our newspaper friend. He is an able writer, a true exponent of his party principles, firm and reliable at all times. He isa model gentleman of fine endowments, a clear head, an honest heart, and his talents pecul- jarly fitting him for this position. In truth he is able enough and Demo- cratic enough to be elected for the office of governor, by the democracy. But to this he does not aspire, nor his friends for him. He and they only ask that he be nominated for secretary of stae. The people will elect him by an overwhelming ma- jority.—Henry Co. Domocrat. New Year Resolves.

Strange Performances Calculated to As- tonish Visitors from Abroad. A funeral in Ezypt is indeed a > strange sight, and the first one the visitor sees astonishes him very much, At the head of the procession marches a corporate body of the blind and @ cer.ain number of men, who proceed ata quick step, singing a most. jubl- lant air, while swinging themselves from right to left. Behind them comes the funeral car, or rather a sort of bier, bearing a great red shawl, in which the body is deposited. At the extremity of the bier, on a perch, is placed the turban or the tarbouch of the def met. Two men carry the bier They follow with such spirit the move- ment of the head of the procession that the corps, rocked in every direce tion, s:ems to jump under the shawl that shronds it. The women bring up the rear. some on asses, some on foot. The first row is formed of weepera, orrather screamers, who send forth toward Heaven at exch step tho shrillest tnes. Tac weepers huld ia their hand a handkerchief, with which they are not solicitous of wiping their eyes pxf-ctly dry, but which — they pull by two eds bebind their hends with a gesture that would be desperate if it were not droll Ou. the arrival at the cemetery they take the dead body from the bier to cast it, such as it is, into the grave. The grand funerals, however, take place with much more solemnity. Am important personage is harily dead in Egypt, before his acquaintances and friends hurry to the house; during one or two days they eat and drink at the expense of the dead, or rather his heirs, indulging in the noisieet demonstrations. When the hour of the interment ar rives a scene of the wildest character is produced. The slaves and womea of the household throw themselves on the corpse, and feign a determination to binder it from passing the threshold, The lugubtious tragedy is played con scientiously; they snatch away the coffin; they belay each other witB blows, and the moet violent and fright ful clamor is bourd. At last the procession leaves the house and repairs to the cemetery, preceded by camels loaded with victa- als, which are distributed to the poor, hurrying in crowds alung the road All along the road the mourners and friends of the family fight for the honor of carrying the bier for a moment, an@ thos it passes or bounds from hand to hand, amid the most frightful dise order. The interment ended, every one returns to the house «f the dead te recommence festivities. —Christian af Work
