The mantle of office has again fallen on the shoulders of J. T. Moore and ‘twas not sought for either, like as by some, Harry Rhine willdo well to whet up his fittle hatchet and be ready to trimb the limbs off some of his politi- val friends before the next campaign comes around. A man is not always asleep when he has his eyes shut which will be verified here in the future. We will feel sorry for the good citi- zens of Butler unless the town officers elect has some plan better than has already been devised for bringing the city out of the seeming difficulties of financial embarrassment that con- fronts it. The Lone Oak and Summit bands met at Summit school house last ‘Thursday evening and practiced to- wether. The following persons from Eliza- beth Chapel attended the Y. P. 8S. E. convention at Rich Hill: Misses Mollie Smizer and Fannie Phillips, Messrs. B. E. and M. G. Parker and tieorge Lawson, They report having had a good meeting. The following gentlemen were elect- ed directors in district No. 3 at the school election: J. T. Moore, John Lawson and Ed Clardy. They didn’t ride for it either and won’t resign, as one did last spring who rode a whole day to get elected and then resigned because he couldn't control the other two in hireing a teacher. For school commissioner, Thurman received ten votes and Livingstone seven. Looks like the edémplexion of this district is changing. Every body seems to have been very much interested in the Taylor brothers’ triai the past week. Every thing was eagerly read that gave any account of the trial and when the lence was all read, guilty was the verdict as charged in the indictment. NIX.

Wilcox, Democratic party asa party to as- question and to draw its party lines according to the wishes of a majority of its members. The principles of of Democracy forbid the decision of important questions by the party leaders without instruction from the people, and it is therefore proper for this committee to call on the Democrats of the precincts, town- ships and counties of this State to meet in convention in their respect- ive localities to discuss freely the great question before the people, to give expression to their views in appropriate resolutions and to select delegates to a convention to be held at the State capital. In order that the proceedings of the Democracy as a party may be regular, it is sug- gested that each County Committee in the State caif a convention of the Democracy of the county for the purpose as stated above, the time and plece for holding such conven- tion to be fixed by the committee, but it should be previous to the date of a State Convention to be held at Springfield on the 4th day of June, 1895. Such Convention will be composed of one delegate for each 300 vetes or fraction of 150 thereof cast for Bernard Claggett for State Treasurer at the last elec- tion. The Democrats of the State are urged to turn out to these meetings and so give free expression to their views, in order that there may be no doubt as to the position of the party on this great and im- portant question. “W.

Carrollton, Mo. April 5.—Poor old Carroll county is a name more than applicable. This morning brought the end of the Taylor case. The people of this city had settled the result of tae trial yesterday, to- day it was recorded in open court. At 9:30 this morning Judge Rucker moved slowly toward the court room followed by Colonel Hale, the senior counsel for the defense, and T. M Bresnehan, the prosecuting attorney Wf Linn. A few of the reporters who were off watch entered the court room shortly after, but very few citizens knew that the end of the Taylor case was at hand and not over a dozen were in court when the judge called the court to order. The jury were then asked if they had agreed upon a verdict and re- | plied ncne whatever, and also stated that there was uo chance for them to agree. The judge then made the ‘ order discharging the jury and con tinued the case until the July teri of court. The jury stood seven for conviction and tive for acquittal, viz: For conviction, J. A. Rose, Dave Jameson, Adulph Auer, Granvilic Jenkins, Elijah Baker, James H. Creel and W. R. Bammer. For ac- quittal, Frank Yeble, Barnett M. Hudson. Ben Glover, George Flem ing and J. T. Nojand. On the street, when the verdict became known, people gathered in little knots and discussed the mat- ter, but there is no intimation what- ever of mob violence, and if there should be a mob it will come from the upper counties and the sheriff is able to cope with it. There is some talk that the Taylor brothers will be removed from here, but Skeriff Staniey feels able to take good eare of them right bere in Car | roliton Judge Rucker adjourned court to day until April 29, at which time a special grand jury will be called to investigate the charges of bribery ‘in this case.
