The people have found him a faithful and trust worthy servant, and to show their appreciation of his services they have continued to re elect him. The most stupid of all the acts 6f the Missouri Legislature for . Years is that of requiring banks to publish their statements in daily papers, “ifa daily is published in the town in which the bank is locat ed.” The publication of the state | ment is meant to show to the publie| the condition of the bank. Daily pa per in a small town is published for tho benefit of the inhabitants of that town, and rarely has a subscriber in the county. It does not give the statement geneneral circulation and wa manifest injustice to the bank making the statement, and to the public which has a right to know the condition of the bank. The re peal of that clause of the law should be among the first acts of the legis- fature which convenes in January 1895.

P. and George KE. Taylor, the alleged murderers of the Meeks family, out of the St. Joseph jail and brought them to this city. The two brothers were bundcuffed together. Both of the men were very nervous and the elder freely expressed a fear of their lives before starting, but Sheriff Barton had taken every pre- caution to protect them. At Camer- on he was joined by eight deputies all armed to the teeth and at La- clede sixteen additional deputies joiued the party, at which point they left the train and were driven over to Liuneus.

Fully 2,000 people met them at the depotand escorted them to the jail and for = couple of hours excitement was at a high pitch aud if they had been kept over night there might have been trouble. The prisoners this afternoon were arraigned before Judge Rucker and waived formal arrignment and plead not guilty. They asked for a change of venue aud the case was taken to the Carroll county cirevit court at Carrollton te be held next March. D. M. Wilson of Milav, ex-Gover- nor Jehnson of St. Louis, Colonel A.
