Wm Short was arrested Tuesday by sheriff Colyer,on a warrant charg ing him with stealing two cups, two saucers and a plate from John Smith residing in West Butler. Short claims a playful .dog of bis brought the package to his houss and there being no name on it the articles were taken in the house by his wife and at. the time he was in town and knew nothing of the transaction. Johnson and Reed, the counter- feiters arrested at Sedalia Wednes day night, confessed their guilt. They say the spurious coins were made within four miles of Sedalia, and told Marshal Delong where he could find molds, dies and other equipments used in making the coins. The men were taken to Kan- sas City for trial. Bud Campbell, sent to the peni- tentiary two years ago for shooting a man on the road south of this city, has served out his sentence. Since his residence at Jefferson City the county court has been compelled to give Mrs. Campbell a small monthly allowance to keep the wolf from the door. She was a hard working wo- man and has to a measure supported herself and family by hauling wood to town. She applied for a divorce and after Bud was released he went to her house and raised a disturb- ance. Asa consequence he is again languishing in jail. The editor of the Union swallows Gov. Lewelling, tramp circular and all, and criticises the Ties for not agreeing with the mode of the afore- said governor in dealing with a worthless set of vagabonds. Sup- pose the shoe was on the other foot and Gov. Stone of Missouri had is- sued a like proclamation, what then would the Union have to say? There are only two classes of people in this country that feel friendly to the tramps; they are the populist edi- tors and other'gangs of tramps. If we wished to gain favor with the farm- ers we would be careful about en- dorsing or upholding tramps. For if there is a class of people on the face of the earth that despises the tramp its the farmer and the farmer’s wife. Keep in the middle of the road Bro. Garland but don't allow your zeal for governor Lewelling’s pets to get away with your judgment. Prevention Is Better. Than cure, and those who are sub- ject to rheumatism can prevent at- tacks by keeping the blood pure and free from the acid which causes the disease. You ean rely upon Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a remedy for rheumatism and catarrh, also for every form of scrofula, salt rheum, boils and other diseases caused by impure blood. It tones and vitalizes the whole system. Hood's Pills are easy and gentle in effect.: |part of the row which led to the} | shooting, aud related the followin | story to a Mail representative: | A war has been going on at Rock | ville for the past several years be-| tween the officers and liquor dealers. |The matter has been in the ccurts, | but this brought about no cessation of the trouble. On Saturday night a general round up was had and Marshal Isaac Pryor, who is well advanced in age, felt it safest to go home, which he did, and the spree was carried on unmolested by officers. Christmas night Marshal Pryor deputized his son, Harrison, aged about 21 years of age, and two other men to assist him in maintaiving order. The deputies were sworn in by Mayor Fisher. About 9 o'clock Marshal Pryor and a man nawed McManus got into words on the street, ov account of the latter hav ing ona star. The marsbal asked him politely to take it off. MeManus suid: ‘You take it off.” The mar shal declined to do this, but insisted that it be removed. McManus abus- ed the marshal, and followed this with a blow. The marshal tried to use his club and McManus endeavor ed to use an iron poker, but were separated before any serious dam- age resulted. During this fight James Sizemore was struck on the head with a stick by the marshal. Quiet was then restored until! this morning when Marshal Pryor and hie son went to arrest a man named Macklin for a breach of the peace Macklin started torun. He went a block anda half aud was followed by young Pryor. Macklin ran around the elevator and young Pry or shot him with a 38 revolver. the ball entering Macklin’s back between the shoulder blades and lodged at the lower part of the breast. ; S. T and William Midkiff came up and wanted to take charge of: Mack lin This was refused by young Pryor. S.T. Midkiff insisted and the young marshal shot him in the face. The ball took effect in the right side of the jaw and had not been tcaced up to the time Mr. Cook left, about 10 o'clock. The result in either case could not be determined at the time Mr. Cook left, though both shots were regard ed as serious, andit was generally supposed that Macklin would die. Macklin is a laborer, about 22 years old. He is single and resided with his parents in town. Midkiff has been running a “blind tiger.” He is a man of family, and between 35 and 40 years of age. When Mr. Cook was at Schell City he heard that people were carrying guns Itis not known‘just where the end will be. Geo. Johannes who came in on the afternoon train virtually corro borated the statement of Mr. Cook in regard to the shooting. He said that Harrison Pryor, who did the shooting, had been a cow boy for a number of years, and that he is ex ceedingly handy with a gun and good game. | 8 | The remains of J. L. Forgey. husband of Mrs. Nannie Forgey, who died in Polk county, were brought to this city Monday. The interment took place at Johnstown Tuesday. The deceased had been in bad health for some time. The be- reaved wife has the sympathies of a host of friends in this community. J. R. Davis was called to Henry county Sunday by the serious sick- ness of his sister Mrs. C. C Bro- naugh, who resides near Calhoun. When he left Tuesday morning she was some better and it was the opinion of the family pbysician she would get along all right. | Attention is called to a statement! of the Bates County National Bank, | as made to the comptroller of the} Currency Dec. 19th 93.

A gentleman from South America said he had a monkey that eould whip the bulldog and the latter laughed at the idea. After some talk a wa- ger of $500 was made and the only advantage the monkey was to have | was that he was to be allowed the privelege of using a baton, about the length of a policemans elub but not | so heavy. “The fight was ina publie place | and in a pit surrounded by au iron | grating. There was a big crowd out to see the fight and of course everybody expected to see the dog chawupthe monkey. After a few minutes, however the audience was surprised at the sagacity displayed by the monkey. make a rush at the monkey and the | latter would jump aside and allow the bulldog to hit his head against the iron grating. This was kept up for twenty minutes or more and then the dog began to get tired. ‘The monkey begau to fight. He would let the dog make a rush and then jump on his back and strike him several times with the baton. This was kept up for an hour ormore and finally the dog fell on the floor com pletely exhausted and the monkey | actually pounded him todeath. The monkey would strike the dog several times and then put his ear to bim to a-e if he still breathed. Finally the owner of the dog agreed to give up the fight but the monkey’s owner told him it was too late as the monkey weuld not quit until he had killed the dog. This was one of the characteristics of the monkey. They always kill their victims. The owner of the dog said he did not want his dog killed and insisted on taking the monkey off. While they were talking the monkey pelted the dog several times with his baton and then put his ear on the dog and with a sudden jump leaped up on the shoulder ot his master and commenced using monk- ey language. The dog was examin- ed and found to be dead. The peo- ple applauded the victory of the monkey and it looked as if it under- stood it. —— Hood’s:s*Cures it Can’t Be Beaten. | “We think that Hood’s Sarsaparilla can not | bebeaten.
