Mr. Forest will remain in Butler this week and we understand close his part of the meeting on Sunday.

Reisner received noti- fication last week that he had been appointed to aclerkship in the pen- sion department at Washington at }a salary of $1,000 per annum.

The thirty-sixth general assembly of Missouri may be composed of “in- experienced men’—farmers almost to a man—but we are willing to risk something that they will make a better record than any legislature controlled by cow coroners for the purpose of multiplying laws and in- creasing litigation. If this farmer legislature will take the ponderous Missouri statute books and repeal about two thirds of the lawyers’ law in them, generations yet unborn will bless the day when the farmers took control of the democratic party iv Missouri.—St. Louis Republic.

A suit for divorce filed in Jackson Co. court by Albert Mills against Maud Mills, recalls the story of the heroi: Maud Long. Five years ago an insane man who was taking two little children sleigh-riding became lost in the suburbs of Independence near the home of Miss Long. De- serting the children, he wandered to the house and managed to make the whereabouts of the children known. The young woman went out in the storm, discovered the children under the sleigh, which had upset, and took them to her home A wealthy rela- tive of the children showered pree- ents upon the brave girl and offered to pay her tuition at school. She went to Warrensburg and entered the Normal, but was discontented and left school to accept the hand of Albert Mills, a young Independence farmer. Her marriage did not prove happy. They separated in 1888, and ‘ each had a suit against the other for | divorce, Mrs. Mills having filed a suit several months ago.
