The local elections are entirely satisfactory. The Hon.

It is too early to speculate as to the causes which have produced the cesulte which have produced the re sults which seem to imply disaster to the democratic party. They are as plenty as “leaves in Vallarabrosia,” butall things considered they are in significant. The main matter for contemplation this morning is that the party has lost bag and baggage and the duty of all is to discover the means of recovery. In this county the party has won a glorious victory. In this city it has achieved a great triumph. In Kansas the gallant representatives of the party have accomplished all that they expected to achieve, and in all events the Democratic party is immortal and can’t be destroyed. “Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” The people have voted with- out knewing the significance of their ballots. They have denounced tke party that represented their safety Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 5.—A vis- itor to day found three children dead and four others besides their moth- er, very sick with the smallpox in the lonely farm house of Fred Kusch four miles from Hale’s Corners, this county. Kusch’s neighbors refused to go near him, so he has nursed his family as best he could for eight days past. Though up day and night with the living, he has had no time to bury the dead, and three little bodies were found partially decom posed lying where they died. Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 5—The public schools of this city and the catholic parochial school were closed to-day for a week on account of the prevalence of diptheria. Several cases are reported and one death has resulted from the disease. The Board of Education to-day appointed a committee of three physicians to confer with the City Board of Health and take the necessary steps to eradicate the disease. When you see the town loafer perched upon a goods box, knife in hand, and hear him remark that su gar is higher or wool lower or money is ecarcer, and at the same time know that his wife supports him, then you can fully realize that the “purifica- tion of politics is an irredescent dream.”—Liberal Independent.

Plaintiff states that on the date State Senutor of Missouri, in said senatorial district composed of the counties of Bates, Henry, St. Clair and Cedar, in said state. That just prior to the acts herein- after complained of, one Rev. Cul- pepper, had held at Butler, Missouri, a series of revival meetings that had attracted the attention of several thousand people in Bates county, Missouri, and which had been widely advertised by the press of county generally so that such religious re- vival was generally known and spoken of throughout said county. Plaintiff states that said preacher and his services were held in high esteem by the people of Bates coun- ty generally. That plaintiff ard his family at- tended the said services and gave their moral and financial support thereto. That in said senatorial district there were and are a great many voters who had heretofore been in the confederate army, and others who had sympathized with them. That with a view of alienating this class of voters from this plaintiff and with a view of injuring the plaintiff in the estimation of the friends and admirers of the said John Culpepper and with a view of holding the plain- tiff up as a man unfriendly to relig- ion generally and as a citizen so narrow and bigotted as to refuse to permit his wife to hear one preach who had at one time espoused the cause of the southern confederacy and for the purpose of provoking plaintiff to wrath; exposing him to public hatred,contempt and ridicule, and to deprive him of public confi- ;dence and social intercourse and to jinjure him politically, the defendants on the Ist of Nov. 1894, in the issue of their paper published on said date, published of and concerning the plaintiff, meaning and referring to him as “Captain Donnohue,” the following article, and cause the same to be generally circulated in Bates and adjoining counties in said dis- trict. “We've got em going soutp, boys, just keep ‘em going.”"—Bates Co.

If the late lamented Judge Sam F. Hawkins was ulive he would make an excellent witness to establish the Captain’s character. This is the same individual who became so abusive of southern peo- ple, while enjoying the hospitality of asouthern gentleman, that the son of his host was forced to call him to account. While we have no intention of try- ing our case in the newspaper we will try and sce that the case is not lacking in interest, and see that the Captwin does not forget the day of trial. Perry, O. T..
