The case against Lillie Johneon at Memphis, Tenn., in connection with the murder of Freda Ward by Alice Mitchell has been dismissed. The post office at Mexico, Mo., was entered by thieves one night last week and about one thousand dol- lars in postage stamps and money was stolen. Vernon county has thirty-three patients in the asylum. The net cost to the tax-payers of the county for their maintenance for the year 1892, was $4,928.35. St. Louis elected Cyrus P. Wal- bridge, republican, mayor, on Tues- day by a good majority. The re publicans elected most of the ticket and have a majority of the council. The work of reform is beginning. Mr. Morton, the new secretary of agricultural has reduced the pay roll in his department $125,000, by discharging unnecessary officials. Ex-Governor Crittenden and Col. John T.

While the game markets of St. Louis and Kansas City may suffer temporarily, the law isa blessing to the state ‘as the slaughter of these delicate and de- licious birds will to a certain extent be stopped.

Mr. Cleveland notified Speaker Crisp that he could | go to work preparing his committees with that end in view. It will be called for the purpose of redeeming | the pledges made the people by the | democratic party, viz: that the tariff |taxes would be reduced tox basis of revenue to support the government economically administered. The Cemocratic party is on guard, in possession of both the admistra- tive and legislative departments ot government for the first time in nearly fifty years and the eyes of the whole world is upon it. If the pledges made the people are carried out all will be well and its lease of power will be indefinite. The peo- ple demand that the tariff be redue ed, the money question settled by placing gold and silver on a parity and the pension steals stopped. These three ‘things the democratic party is pledged to do and the peo. ple will not stand anevasion of these issues. The tariff question is one of most importance toall classes. The people are perfectly willing to pay sufficient taxes to support the government,but unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa tion anda great burden upon the poor man. It would be much better for the democratic party at this time if it hada smaller majority in the house. As it is factional and sec- tional differences and interests have to be consulted and there is much danger from internal discensions. Mr. Cleveland will do his duty by giving congress an opportunity to pass a tariff law that can be made Operative next spring, thus giving it afair trial before the following fall elections. This a democratic con- gress must do, as the fate of the democratic party is at stake. CLEAN UP. No matter how far we delude ourselves into fancied security, the fact remains that there isa very strong probability that cholera will visit this country the coming sum mer. It is already raging in some ofthe Eastern countries and any The best au Filth is a breeder of cholera Butler never was in its his vegetables and filth of We make We are promised a of duty which have answered the needs of humanity for so many cen- turies. Out in Dakota they do things just a little different than they do in civ- ilized Missouri.A delegation of W. C. T. U. women raided a “Doublin pig” in the town of Fargo a few days ago and routed the proprietor, and pro- ceeded to take an inventory of the stock. While engaged in this little diversion the aforesaid propriet or returned with re-enforcements and proceeded to fire the intruders. When the invaders recovered their breath and straightened out their feminine attire they found they were a badly disfigured outtit. They brought suit for assault and battery but the state’s attorney dismissed the case. In Missouri the men are more gallant, and the dear creatures would have been given full posses sion while the proprietor and his friends would have gone over the back fence. There they have dif- ferent names for these menagerieg, here they are known as the “blind Tiger,” “the joint” “the Goose” “the club room” etc. But we presume the name doesn’t change the price or quality of drinks.

Lightning's Switt Werk. Sedalia, Mo., April 3.—Mrs. Ma- tilda Fryer of Denver, Col., who is visiting her brothein-law John Stotts and family, residing on a farm about five miles southeast of Sedalia, was struck by lightning this morning and terribly burned and stunned. About.7 o'clock Mrs. Fryer with a tin pail in her hand started to the milking pen. The clouds were threatening and the at- mosphere was close and sultry. Sud- denly there was a flash followed by a sharp peal of thunder and the lady was seen to fall to the ground, the pail being battered and twisted and thrown quite a distance. Mrs. Fryer was found to be total- ly unconscious and was at once car- ried isto the house. The back of her neck and her entire back were blistered in a most painful manner. The lightning also passed down her limbs, burning her undergarments from her body and tearing both shoes from her feet. She precarious condition. is in a Missouri Convict Lease. Jefferson City, Mo., April 1.- 'The State board of prison inspectors to- day closed an important deal with the Ohio Valley Pearl company, of Cincinnati, by which that firm con- tracts for the labor of 100 male con- victs fora period of five years at 60c per day, and for fifty female con- victs at 50ca day. Thecompany man- ufactures pearl buttons and has the largest plant west of the Alleghany mountains. A. L. Whitney, busi- hess manager of the company, filed a bond of $25,000 and says that the eutire plant will be removed to this city within thirty days. The prevail. | ing price for convict labor in the penitentiary here has been about 50c¢ per day, which is regarded as too cheap, and the contract to-day is considered a departure from the old system. It is said that some of the contractors working under contract ata maximum of 50c and a mini mui of 45c, fought the letting of the contract to the Cincinnati firm. This is the best contract ever made for the state since the prison has been operated under the prevailing system. The Washington dispatches indi cate that Ex governor T. T. Crit- tenden of Kansas City, will be made consul general to Mexico. This isa good appointment and will be of great benetit to Kansas City and the west in view of the trade relations between Mexico and this country. Hon. James R.

The Judge is anxious to do the right thing in all the appoint- ments in his district, and wants all the information he can get bearing on each case. He treats all his callers courteously and kindly, gets all the information they can give and im- parts none himeelf until he is pre- pared to make his final decision. We understand it is his intention to settle all his postoffice contests just as fast as he is fully informed of the true situation. A number of newspapers have en- tered in the race for United States But as Senator Vest’s time City the new state superintendent of insurance was born in Spring- field. Mo., November 22, 1842, and was educated in public schools. He served in the Union army from 1861 to 1863, when heresigned. He was admitted to the bar in 1864; was a member of the democratic state cen- tral committee from 1864 to 1872; elected prosecuting attorney of Greene county in 1874, and a mem- ber of congress in 1877. Mr. Wad- dill was renominated to congress in 1879, but after a most exciting struggle he was defeated by 54 votes by Ira S. Hazeltine. the noted sheep farmer.

Magistrate Porter of Hyde Park has constituted himself the champion of the Esquimaux vil- lagers and facts to-day of the habeas corpus proceedings were strange and startling enough for any one. Some time ago one of the Ice- landers, Najed Zacharias, was ar- raigned before Magistrate Porter, charged with assaulting an official of the Esquimau village company. Superintendent Daniels of the vil- lage company wanted Zach locked up for three weeks, but the magise trate refused. This action tickled the North land folk mightily, and ever since that time the Esquimaux have made the magistrate their con- fident and have told him of their manifold woes The result is that he has been led to make investiga- tion into the troubles of the foreign- ers with a result, as be says, that is startling. As a consequence of his inquires he will soon begin suit in the United States court here on bes half of certain Esquimau families asking heavy damages from the com- pany that brought these people to this country.

In 1889 Missouri had a good crop of apples, and in 1890 Missouri rais ed more apples than all the balance of the states in the union, the crop of a single orchard selling as high as $60,000.
