A Bit of Old Jackson County History. In 1533 Llewellen Boggs was governor of Missouri and the stand- ard of the Mormons floated wide and free over the town of Independ- ence. They had come three years before, foot sore end weary, from Kirtland, penniless and with empty hands, and had settled in and about Independence They ed by the original pione calm phelgin which distinguished his welcoming of other emigrants. The Mormo re little understood as to their religious peculiarities by the people of Jackson county, and so spread their tents and hghted| the fires of a new home without} were receiv protest or objection. In three short years they waxed | rich, aud with riches they became insolent. Others came and were still coming, flock succeeding flock, | ‘like pigeons in the spring. They would soon outnumber the original pioneers and confidently spoke of the day,when they, the Lord's chosen, would occupy Jackson county to the exclusion and casting out of every Gentile. But the Mormons spoke too soon. The first inhabitants of Independ- ence were a positive people; prompt to take action. Governor Boggs was a resident of the town and open. ed a gate way to local effort bya proclamation ordering the depart- ure of the Mormons within thirty days. They did not go and the im- pulsive Gentiles fell upon them hip and thigh and drove them out. Again the Mormons were exiles and broken in spirit and pride, turn- ed eastward through the tangled bottoms of Missouri for Mlinois. Nauvoo was settled and later, when their church split on the polyga- mous rock, and they left Nauvoo, the polygamous faction, with Brig- ham Young as their head and pro- phet, began their long pilgrimage to Salt Lake. It is not the purpose to follow them in extensive descrip- tion of their woeful march across the plains. Graves of men and skel- tons of mules and cattle marked the * way the Mormons ate of the bread of bitterness and almost of despair. In their journey to Nauvoo, and in their subsequent flight westward to Salt Lake, there was one name which burned deep in every Mormon memory—the name of Llewellen Boggs. The prayer for vengeance on Llewellen Boggs for the stroke he dealt them was constant in their hearts. many if not all of them knew him personally and this very acquaintance permitted and intensity and point to their deep hatred of which they otherwise might have been deprived. On the sunburned plains and the deep snows of moun- tain canyons they thought of Boggs and thirsted for a reckoning.. Once safe and settled in Salt Lake these wishes gave birth to plans and plans to execution. John Patridge and John Oliver Cowdrey were two of the Mormon leaders. Strong of person, men of action rather than of counsel, men- tally narrow and purblind, they had abiding faith in their religion and were abject followers of Brigham Young. These men were personally named in Governor Boggs’s procla- mation and had hugged and nursed their hatred of him through four weary years. . Four years after the proclamation John Partridge was chief of the Danites--the “destroying angels” ofthe Mormon church. Governor Boggs, no longer governor, was a resident of Independence. His house was in the center of a five acre grove on South Pleasant street next to the residence now occupied by Capt. Williams. The old Boggs house was torn down about a year ago. Partridge resolved to execute the Vengeance s0 prayed and longed for and so long deferred. Taking a de- tachment of his Danites, including Crowdrey, they toiled backward across mountain and plain until they stood again within reach and swoop of Independence. They did not dis- close their presence and made a hid- den camp as near as might be to their victim's house. Partridge and Cowdrey kept constant watch, wait. ing for a chance to strike in safety. At last it came and Partridge killed Gov. Boggs with ashot from his rifle as the governor sat by his open vath that |¢ A$45 SEWING MACHINE FOR $15 Including One Year’s Subscription to this We have made such arrangements as enable us to offer the Chicago Singer Sewing Machines lower rates than ever before fora good ma-' ae and we offer our readers the advantage of the unprecedented bargains.

Smith, a farmer living at Castle Hill, hada terrible battle with a mad stallion on Monday. During the whole of last winter Mr. Smith worked a team in the lumber wood, one of his team being a large stallion of such vicious disposition that no one but Smith could handle him. At the close of the winter's operations Mr. Smith took the stallion to his home at Castle Hill, and during the spring and summer has worked him and his mate to the horse hoe and began hoeing potatoes, when all at once the stallion became vicious and frantically attacked his mate with teeth and hoof. Mr. Smith quickly unhooked the traces and succeeded in uncoupling the horses, when the stallion attacked him. Smith is a powerful and resolute man and after | a fierce struggle in which he was se- verely wounded in the hips by the | animal’s hoofs he succeeded in sub- duing the stallion and leading him to the barn. He hitched the stallion | on the barn floor, removed the har- | ness and was taking him to his stall when the animal suddenly attacked him. ‘The wind blew the barn door shut and Mr. Smith found himself imprisoned on the barn floor with | the frantic stallion. For nearly half an hour he fought with no weapon but his fists, leaping aside 0 avoid the assauits as much as possible, but being knocked down and fearfully bruised. He found his strength failing and was just making up his mind that it was all up with him when the stallion in someway dis- engaged a sled stake from the side of a mow and Smith saw it rolling toward him on the floor. Seizing the stake he swung it with all the strength of desperation and striking the stallion just behind the ear with one blow laid him dead at his feet. | Mr. Smith was terribly cut and | bruised by the stallion’s teeth and i hoofs, but his injuries are not dan- | erous.

Inhuman ‘treatment of a Child By a Missouri Woman. Cassville, Mo., July 31.—The mea- in the eastern part of this county have just reached here. Froma number of New York waifs sent west to find homes, an old man and wife, living on Flat creek, selected a little fellow, now 9 years of age, small and sickly. Not receiving as much ben- efit as they anticipated from the in- yestment, the old folks tired of their charge and desired to rid themselves of it. Last week the old man, upon leaving home for the day, instruct- ed his wife to make way with the boy during his absence, but found him alive on his return. His next in- structions were more forcible. The boy shculd be killed or the old lady would be. This spurred her to action and she gave the boy a sharpened nail and told him to go out behind the barn and drive the nail into his head. Obedient to her command, the boy attempted to do it, but returned and said he couldn’t as it hurt him so. She next got the old man’s razor, gave it to the boy and told him to go out and draw it across his throat. This hurt him al- | so, and after a couple of attempts he returned and reported. The fiend in woman’s form then took a rope and hung him so that his toes just touched the floor and with the razor When he lost consciousness he was taken down and covered with a blanket up- on the approach of a man. The newcomer, seeing the pile and blood asked what it was, and was tolda “pig.” Not being satisfied he rais- ed the blanket and discovered the boy weltering in his blood. An alarm was raised, the old lady fled, and the old man has been placed under arrest. Intense excitement prevails, and the woman is likely to severely dealt with if found. Flames Devouring Lumber. Saginaw, Mich., July 29.—At 2 o'clock this afternoon five acres of lumber piles, houses and offices were swept by the flames in this city. The wind was blowing a gale and the loss is in the hundreds of thou- sands. The firemen were unable to do anything and it was feared the flames would jump across the river into Carrolton, where there is piled $1,000,000 worth of pine lumber, but the fire was gotten under con- trol. Brown & Bryant’s immense lumber plant, together with a num- ber of dewllings, were totally de- stroyed, Loss, $275,000; insurance, $226,000.

Topeka, Kansas, July 31.—Hon. Martin Mohler, secretary of the state board of agriculture, has just returned from Osborne county and the northwest part of the state and brings gloomy reports of the crop The weather has been very hot for several days, and not- withstanding the heavy rains of last week the ground is again badly need of moisture. In some places the corn crop would be a total iailure anyway and the farmers are now cut- ting it to secure the fodder. Mr. Mohler has great confidence in the success ofa second crop planted now and is preparing a cir- cular to be issued soon, urging the farmers to save themselves from total loss by planting a second crop of corn, millet or cane. He finds many farmers are unable to buy seed and thinks the moneyed men of every community should aid them in secur- ing seed wheat this fall. Otherwise there will be much suffering and loss in the western part of the state. Awful Find in a Lonely Spot. Portland, Me., July 30.—Charles Thompson, his wife and son’s wife of Great Chebeague island report that yesterday, while berrying on Goose island near Chebeague, they came across the remains of the bodies of two children. Ona rock were four hands and four feet recently cut off. A large fire had been built near by and in the charred wood were bones, as if the children’s bodies had beer burned. They left without disturb- ing them, and told the story to the eaptain of a steamer, who brought it here. Coroner Davis will go to the scene. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.

Clinton, Mo., July 28.—The Hen- ry county democratic conventon as- sembled in the Opera House here to-day to nominate a county ticket. Dr. J. W. Gray was made chairman and W. L. Pinkston secretary. Col. J. LaDue, Henry county’s candi- date for congress was indorsed and called on for a speech, responded in a forcible tariff reform address. The convention then proceeded to place the following ticket in the field: W. H. Davis, representative; W. E. Owens, prosecuting attorney; Wm. Stevens, treasurer; A. C. Mc- Connell, circuit clerk; Thos. S. Wal- lace, county clerk; James H. Callo- way, sheriff; Jno. C. Rivers, record- er; R. H. Trone, chaplain of the house of representatives, collector; Lee McDonald, assessor; Jas. Parks, probate judge; Chas. H. Hartzock, county judge-at-large; Wm. Allen, judge of district one; Jas. H. Harri- gon, judge of district two; Dr. W. H. Gibbins, coroner. No better ticket could have been nominated. The best of feeling prevailed. When it comes to making engines this country wants to be counted in. Three locomotives have been ship- ped from this conntry to Palestine for the new railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem. They are named Jaffa, Jerusalem and Ramleh. Here is an interesting item for people who live on Java coffee. Speaking of the effect of the central American war upon the coffee trade in this couutry the Nicaraguan con- sul drops the remark that much of the co-called Java coffee comes from Guatemala. ?They say at last even women have tired of big trunks and like to trav- el lightly—like men. Dealers say now that but few big trunks are sold. The big ones seeu on the cars now occasionally are old-timers.

London, July 30.—A dispatch from Paris says that though the French government has not met with much success in its efforts to induce Eu- ropean powers to form a trade coali- tion in retaliation for the American tariff, yet it is said that secret as- surances have been given that dis- couragements will be thrown indi- rectly in the way of American im- portations in those lines when in competition with natural produc- tion.
