C. R. Carter, who six years ago was sentenced at Mt. Vernon Mo. to be hanged for the murder of Robt. Crockett, and who escaped custody before the sentence could be execut ed, has been arrested at Portland Oregcn. Crockett was killed on the night of Feb. 24th 1885 Carter was tried and convicted for the mur- der at-the Feb. term of Lawrence county circuit court in 1886, and sentenced to be hanged July 3rd, 1886 and on the night af June 24, he with several other prisoners escaped from the jail. Should Senator Cockrell go into the cabinet, the present legislature will have to elect his successor and ex-Governor Francis, William H. Hatch, Dick Dalton, Martin Clardy, A.

Justice Lamar, of the United States supreme court has been taken south for his health, and the dis- patches say it is doubtful if he ever sees Washington again. He is said to be afflicted with Bright's disease and may not live until the expiration of Harrison’s term. The dispatch ed one and the friends of C. A Bro-| naugh of Boonville, who was the mast formidable opponent of Pace, | expressed themselves up to the last moment as confident of the success of their The appointment of Pace is considered a meritorious one. For many years he has been a prominent citizen of southwest Missouri, and though act- ively engaged in politics in bebalf} of others has never vefore been him- self an applicant for office. He bas been a life long political and per- sonal friend of Governor Stone and was one of his active and influential supporters iu all his congressional fights. For months prior to the last gubernatorial convention Pace traveled all over the state in the in- terest of Stone and the general opinion is that Stone has not only man. the cellar, after which they easily gained the street. There is 2 misconception in the minds of many persons in regard to the duty of a democrat who is2 can didate for nomination to an elective office or toward a candidate seeking an office that is appoirtive. The candidate somctimes thinks because he belongs to the same party, the paper is in asense bound to support him; but he does not consider that he is bound to support the paper,not even so much as a subscription. We desire to disabuse their minds on this point A newspaper is under no obligation to support any candi date until after he receives the party nomivation. If the editor sees fit to boom any one because of local claims it is gratuitous. _ He is con- siderably like other people. He gen- erally looks to the interest of those who looks to his interest when the cart is being unloaded.—Holden Enterprise. puta good man in office, but has SS rewarded a true friend for sincere and unselfish efforts in his behalf. The position of warden ’was one of the most impertant which Gov ernor Stone had to bestow. The salary attacked to itis but $2,500a year but its perquisites include an elegant home, servants, light and fuel, all free of charge so that it is estimated the position is easily wort $5,000 a yeat. It was sup- posed that the governor would send in his appointment for the positions of adjutant general and inspector of mines, but he finally decided to let them lay over until another session of the senate. ~ KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and C tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used.

Star. vance in prices of a staple product which has occurred in a good many years is the surprising rise in the value of hogs and of hog products which is now in progress. Seven anda half cents a pound for live hogs in Kansas City is a very high price. It is almost double the price at which hogs were selling a year ago, and a gain of nearly two cents a pound in two months. It is the highest price which has been reach- ed in ten years. Theadvance is not the result of any manipulation of the market, nor was it long foreseen by apy except three or four astute traders who have made a fortune out of it. The rise is due to a scarcity of hogs, which is becoming more ap- parent daily. The scarcity is the result of the continued wet weather last spring which drowned thousands of young pigs and by long delaying the planting of corn, discouraged the efforts of farmers to increase Quite the most remarkable ad-| Franklsn Doesn't “look” as she ought —the weak, nervous and ailing wo- man.

With Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription, she’s a different woman. And it’s a change that can be seen as well as felt. The system is in- vigorated, the blood enriched, di- gestion improved, melancholy and nervousness dispelled. With the “Favorite Prescription,” all the proper functions are restored to healthy action. Periodical pains, weak back, bearing-down sensations, nervous , prostration, all “female complaints” are cured by it.
