Morehouse has appointed | prince,” as a delegate at large from Missouri to the Interstate Immigra- tion convention, which is called to meet at Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 12. This is a deserved compliment as Col. Moore is an enterprising citizen and a good worker in immigration matters. The fiftieth congress met Monday at noon and began its second session. It is expected that this will be one of the busiast sessions in the history of that bedy. Much important legislation was left un touched on the calenders of both houses when it adjourned. The dissussion of the anual appropriation bill will occupy much of the time between now and the 4th of March. “We have been accused,” writes a Kansas editor, “of having to eat a _ good deal of crow lately. To brand this as calumny would give but fee ble expression to our sentiments. | We have eaten nothing for four days, which our wife can prove. As a ~ matter of fact a crow just now would - be regarded as a delicacy, and it is | doubtful whether we would stick at - the fenthers. | Hunger makes slaves - of usall. SS Dr. S. A. Richmond, who shot and instantly killed Col. J. W. Strong, editor of the St. Joseph, Mo., Her- ald, June 18, 1886, and who escap- ed from the insane asylum in which ~ he was ordered incarcerated several ) months ago, made an application for release before the board of mana- gers Monday. Since his escape from ~ the asylum he has made his home at a Comavigo, Iil., where he had engag- ed in the manufacture of patent med- icines. The board refused to grant his request. 4 _—_—_———— Considerable was said when Cleve- land was elected about hungry dem- ocrats. This we admit, having fed on husks for twenty-four years, was _ the excuse we offered. But what ex- _ ouse has the hungry horde already | besieging President-elect Harrison three or four months before he is inaugurated. The scent of plunder is strong in the republican nostril, _ and the disgraceful scramble already # begun bids fair to make Gen.

This is a road in which Butler and Bates county are deeply Anterested as it would give us a direct outlet to St. Louis and the east and running east and west would penetrate a portion of the county ~ which is without railroad facilities, and at the same time being the rich- est portions of the county.

No, it is but a political machine, and as such should not be recognized as one of the charitable institutions of our country, which it pretends to be. Last week about twelve 1 democrats left the order in Indiaz and willform a charitable order, but assume another name. From all over the country comes the same kind of intelligence and we hazard the prediction that before another election rolis around there will not be a single democrat in the G. A.

No matter what kind of x proposition the court would submit, bitter experience teaches us that these same parties would find ample and, to thei: minds, good excuse to vote against it. Butler is not needing a jail any worse than other portions of the county. There is no good reason under heaven for believing that the people would vote one now, so soon after defeating the other. So whatis the use of the dis- cussion and we offer an apology to our readers for saying so much. From the St. Louis Republic we learn that Dave McFarland,formerly a resident of Butler, had his throat cut in a fight at O’Fallen, Ills., last Friday.

On The Church Door Steps. Cairo, Ill., Dec. 4—On the door steps of the Methodist church at Elco Mills, a few miles from here, Sunday, Lon Houston and Josh Ha- zlewood settled an old grudge caused by jealousy, the object being the divorced wife of Houston. Both men drew their revolvers, seven shots being fired rapidly, ev- ery one taking effect. Aouston was shot twice in the breast, once in the shoulder and twice in the right leg, while Hazlewood was shot in the right side, which entered the lungs and twice inthe leg. A panie took place in the church, the services being dispensed with, and the congregation escaping through doors and windows. Hous. ton as the aggressor was arrested. both will die.

The doctors pronounc- ed his case on record and the stu- dents discussed his condition with much interest. Mr. Baldwin is a fine entertainer. He isa tall, stout looking young fellow, with a smooth face and exceedingly pleasant man- ner. On March 19, 1887. while yardmaster at Birmingham, Ala., in the Louisville and Nashville railroad yards, he was run over py a train, an engine and six cars passing over him, breaking his right leg in two :es, his left leg just below the und five besides snap- ping in twain the vertebre of the neck and splintering the joint be- tween the sixth and seventh vertebra.

El Paso, Tex., Dec. 4.—Suit has been instituted here by William F. Dreisman against the United States government for $293,000 for aiding inthe capture of Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy, at the close of the late war. Dreisman says he wasa membea of cavelry force sent in pursuit of president Davis and relates the well known stor‘ of tee capture. When the captors were voted a reward by congress, Dreisman re- ceived his draft but mislaid it and never had it cashed. He applied to the secretary of the treasury and re- ceived a reply that a duplicate of the draft had been issued to the ad- ministration of his estate in Suffolk county, Mass., which was duly paid. Dreisman accounts for this state of affairs by saying that he has been in California for a number of years and that his relatives thought him dead. He insists however, that the amount is still due him and has con- sequently entered suit. The body of a man so far decom- posed that the features were unre- cognizable was found in a hydrant hole opposite the Des Plaines street police station, Chicago. The name "is believed to be Frank P.

The Course of True Love. A few weekf ago the Chicago pa- peas contained an acccount*of the elopement of Miss Roach, the 19 year-old daughter of a millionaire capitalist of that city, with a young clerk named Cunningham. The young lady, it seems was a social belle, and the marriage created the usual nine- day gossip in alarge circle of friends and acquaintances. After the mar- riage the young couple came to Kan sas City and for a few days boarded ata leading hotel. Their money running out and no remittance com- ing from the wea!thy but irate fath- er, Cunningham was forced to seek work. All the work he could find to do was a street car driver and he is now swinging the whip over a pair of Metropolitan muies, and his little wife is keeping house in an humble little home on Charlotte street. When she becomes of age, in two years, she will have a fortune in her own right. It seems that the irate father it beginning to relent for the other day he sent the young woman a check for $50, with a promise of more on Christmas. K. C. Starr. A telegram of the 26th from Indi- anapolis, among other interviews with president-elect Harrison, has the following: “Geo. A. Neal, of Osceola, Mo., who was a delegate to the Chicago convention and an energetic Harri- son man, called on the president- elect to-day and discussed the prob- ability of Missouri being brought over to the republican side. It is positively asserted that Mr. Neal is not an aspirant forthe cabinet. This is queer for an “original Harrison man.” Before the young man promises to deliver Missouri to the republican party he would do well to practice ona smaller beginning. St. Clair county, his own home, gave a largely increased democratic vote and elect- ed almost the entire democratic ticket Mr. Neal’s twaddle is worthy of sn “original Harrison man.”— ‘ Clinton Democrat.
