On Thursday last the home of Mr. | and Mrs. Joseph Reeder, in Mingo | township, father and mother of our present county treasurer, Oscar Reeder, was the scene of one of the most pleasant affairs that has ever transpired in our county, it being the occasion of the reunion of the family to celebrate the seventy-fifth ' anniversary of the father. The whole affair was kept a pro- found secret from the old people, and of course when their children and grand children began to assem- ble at their home, they were at a loss to know the cause. Each family took a basket of pro- visions and the affair was turned into a kind of apienic. Mr. Reeder is the father of ten children, seven boys and three girls, all of whom were born and raised in this county, and all were present with their fam- ilies except C. P. Reeder. The day was most pleasantly spent, and the aged couple were made the happy re- cipients of many handsome and use- ful presents, among which was a oO ) () oO CAPS :- oO oO oO oO oO oO MONEY LAND. = | BATES COUNTY | { LOAN and LAND CO., JAS.

Eli Browning, advertising agent, for the Chattanooga Mediciue Co., gave us a pleasant call while in the city Monday. S. P. Day and wife of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, arrived in the city Mom day onavisit to friends and rela- tives. William Jennings, of Foster, in- formed us that a barn onthe farm of Judge Cowan in Charlotte town- ship, burned Sunday night. A large erib of corn was also burned. A state convention of the Farm- ers’ Alliance and Wheel will be held in Springfield August 20th. It is anticipated that several hundred delegates will be present. C. A. Denton received a telegram on Wedesday from Illinois announc- ing the serious illness of his moth- er. He left, accompanied by his wife,on the noon train for that point. Miss Sallie Turner, a seamstress at Sedalia, attempted suicide Fnday, by beating a hole through her right temple with a tack hammer, expos- ing the brain. She was discovered in time to save her life. L. A. Weil manager of the Enter- prise shoe store expects to get back in his old quarters the last of this week or the first of next. The car- penters and brick layers are busy re- pairing the building at present. J.R. Simpson, ex-recorder of the county but now a substantial farmer Deepwater of township, and one of the best and truest democrats in the county, was in the city Monday and gave us apleasant and substantial call.

Mr. Reeder is one of the old set- tlers of this county, in 1841 he was married to Miss Rhoda Sears, of this county, sister of Geo. Sears, who is now 65 years of age, and enjoying remarkable good health, with the ex- ception of a slight attack of rheuma- tism. From this uniona family, in- cluding children, grand children, sons and daughters-in-law, now number 45 souls. Since Mr. Reeder became a resi dent of Bates he has lived continu- ously in the county, except about three years during the war, when he moved to Henry county. He is a man that has always borne the high- ent esteem of his neighbors, and by living an industrious and upright life has gained a name that will live long after he has passed over the river and received his final reward Long live this estimable couple and prosperous and happy be their children and grand children is the wish of the Timss. A visit to Lane’s store means that Power Bros., finished burning a kiln of 160,000 brick Wednesday and commenced work on anew kiln of the same dimensions. The brick in the Opera House. The other kiln will be used in the Emery block. Farmers, let your eggs come to Lanes’ at 10 cents per dozen. Ex-Sheriff Hill got home yester- day morning from a three weeks trip through Kansas, Texas Oklaho- ma andthe Indian Terrtory. Asa general thing very small crops have been planted. In Kansas and Texas the prospects for crops of all kinds are good. He says Guthrie and Oklahoma are shanty and tent towns and the people are as a general thing “pretty hard up.’—Nevada Noticer. Lane bosses the market when it comes to paying the farmer the high- est price of any merchant in Butler for eggs and chickens. Liberal, Mo., has asked for arti- cles of incorporation for a society of spiritualists. In the petition it is stated: “We believe and teach that the individual and personal benefits and the mental and spiritual satis- faction and joy arising from living a just and upright life does not end with our earthly existence but goes with us to our spiritual and eternal home beyond the grave, where we take up the thread of our individual- ized existence just where it was dropped in earth life.’ We hope so; we do indeed, but does this mean that Sullivan will keep on “scrap- ping” after he cliiabs the golden stairs? Miss Fannie Carmean, who has been teaching so successfully an art class in our city for the past five months, left for her home at Law- rence, Kas., yesterday morring. It was not on account of lack of pupils or want of interest that caused her to close her class at this time, but to obtain a much needed rest. A large number of ladies, students, bade her good-bye at the residence of Dr. Frizell the eve before her departure. Last Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock Pearl West, the 12 year-old son of Marion West, was shot through the head and instantly _kill- ed by Herman Scheiking at the street car stables on Boonville street. The shooting was an un- fortunate accident as shown by the testimony of young Scheiking at the coroner's inquest the same eve- ning.—Springfield Express. Arthur Paul, the genial, accomodat- ing and wide awake salesman for the Brown Tobacco Co. of Montgomery City, Mo., spent Monday in the city in the interest of his firm and met with good success in getting orders.

B. Ingalls, of Nevada, isa stroke of enterprise on the part of O. D. Austin, worthy of imitation by the rest of our business men. It costs a little more than the old wooden awning, but once up it will last as long as your building stands. Again there is no posts to obstruct the highway and the awning is con- structed in such a way as to add greatly to the appearance of the front of the building. Clay Center, Kas., July 13.—A jury yesterday acquitted Dr. J. P. Stewart of murder. Dr. Stewart a few weeks ago killed J. B. Welling- ton, a St. Louis traveling man who had led astray the doctor’s married daughter. The verdict was received with cheers by the big crowd in the court room. The G. A. R. threatens not to hold the “grand encapment” set for Milwaukee unless the Central Traf- fic Association surrenders uncondi- tionally to G. A. R. terms. Why should the railroads do anything to boost the service pension raid on the treasury? Railroad business is no better now than it should be, and if the Pretorians succeed in carrying out their plans, the immense drain on the productive labor of the coun- try will precipitate panic, prostrate business, and keep it prostrated.— St. Louis Republic. Farmers, see Lanes’ prices on dry goods. Prints, 3, 4, 5 cents per yard; 6 pair of ladies’ hose for 25 cents; 2 handkerchiefs for 5 cents; Parasols, from 15 cents up; all white goods and sateens at cost. A reduc- tion on all summer goods until my entir summer stock is closed out. Remember Lane allows no firm to sell dry goods for less money than Lane. Uncle Aaron Hart of this city has made arrangements to rebuild his Store room at Rich Hill. The con- tract has been let to Mr. Eldridge of this city. R. Talbott, t tailor, is located at his residence first door west of the Laclede hotel. 28-2t. Or Austin the Lawgiver. The postmaster—editor~lawyer- judge-statesman of the Bates Coun- ty Record is again to the front, and demonstrates that he is the jack-of- all-trades and good at none. In his tirade against Judge Sullens, in which Judge Fix is also incidentally given a drubbing, after the Austin- ian style, this jack-of-all trades veri- fies the proverb that “he who lives in glass house should not throw stones.” He charges the county court with ignorance and at the same time says: “We publish the decision in full in another column.” There is nota manin the county having sense enough to go to mill who read Sat- urday’s issue of the Record, but knows that this statement is untrue. The clipping which was published on the second page under the head of “County Licenses Illegal,” to which our statesman-lawyer perhaps referred in stating that he published the decision, does not purport to be the decision of the court, and no one but the precious innocent of the Record ever supposed such to be the fact. The Rich Hill Review last week published a clipping from St. Louis paper stating that the track of the Emporia railroad between Butler and Foster was tobe tornup and the road built from Rich Hill to Foster. With thesame propriety and with as much truth as prompted the Record man the Review might have said this clipping was the order in full of ihe board of directors of the railroad company. This beau ideal of a statesman and“lawyer, according to the Austinian standard again says this decision “construes resident tax-payers to mean persons who paid taxes the year previous to the application was made, and whose name can be found on the tax books. In the dram shop law of this state there is no such phrase as “resident tax-payers” for the court to con- strue. It is therefore safe to say that the court never in passing on this law went out of the way to construe a phrase not to be found in it. It is equally safe to say that if the court shall ever be called upon to construe this phrase. it will not adopt the Arstinian construction which is contrary to the books of definition and common senseas well. If amy other man in the county had read the decision in full, pub lished in last week’s Record, will say that there is a word or state- ment therein which justifies the in- ference that the St. Louis Court of Appeals construed “resident tax- payers to mean persons who have paid taxes the year previous to the application,and whose names can be found on the tax-books,” he shall havea chromo and a life ticket of admission with reserved seat privileges to the best feeble minded institution in the country, all free of charge. It must be un- derstood however that the line is so drawn as to exclude the Record man. This is all said taking the charitable view that he said what he did through ignorance, “the cause of most of his many blunders.” (In justice to his devil let us in- dulge the hope that “he was not present when that law was set up, and consequently will share none of the blame.”) Yet this sage of the post office, and scissors editor will talk about the ignorance of the court. Who has not heard of editorial jim- jams coming on occasionally with “indecent haste.” Would that this effusion from the learned dispenser of postage stamps could be attributable to this cause, as its effects are only temporary, but his brand of charity compells the conviction that it can be attribut- ed to ignorance alone.

The house of Funley Whitehead was completely carried away. A large brick school building was torn down to the foundation and rafters carried 200 yards away and lodged in a tree. Many other buildings were wrecked. The oats and corn crop are ruin- ed. The destruction occurred in 20 minutes. The storm was accom- panied by a heavy rainfall. St. Joseph, July 15.—A heavy rain storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, damaged St. Joseph property to the extent of $25,000 Saturday night. A heavy rain and wind storm pass- ed over Decatur, IIL, yesterday. One house was struck by lightning, two houses were unroofed and the roof taken off a drug store. The dam- age to crops was considerable. Ornithologists are puzzled. A new species of bird has appeared in the vicinity of York, Pa. It has a white cap, a red breast and a long tail. It eats voraciously of locusts and even the heads of wheat and huckleberry stocks. LINDENWOOD COLLEG B 2 aim, or YOUNG LADIES SERS OD liad st: Louis, Higher ed. } yucation.
