Joe Little received a telegram Sunday morning informing him of the death of his father at Camp- point, Illinois, and he took the first train to be present at the funeral. The deceased was quite an old man and had been afflicted with paralysis of the entire left side of the body for several years, and nc doubt his death was a great relief trom his sufferings and helpless condition. T. G. Ellis of Rich Hill, was in the city Monday and informed us that he and his son had opened out a coal mine one anda fourth miles north of Rich Hill, and were now prepared to furnish the public with a splendid quality of coal in any quantity desired from a wagon to a train load. When in need of coal give Ellis & Son the preference of your order. Ed Cooper, the thief that stole W. O. Jackson’s horse from the hitch rack on the square, a short time ago, and who was captured in Kansas City a few days later, was brought into court Saturday and pleading guilty, was given two years in the penitentiary. The very actions of Cooper in stealing this animal and taking him to Kansas City and turn ing him loose on the streets shows that he was a bad man and the pun- ishment he gets is none toc severe. At the trial of Luther Park for the murder of his brother a rather ludi- crous incident happened at the con- clusion of the testimony of the last witness examined. Being questioned in regard to the sanity of the pris oner, the witness stated that Park had been a correspondent for the Union and a howling 16 to 1 man. Mr. Graves, assistant counsel for the state, arose and addressing the court, accepted the plea of insanity, and thus ended the prosecution of the case. Uncle Kit Divers, superintendent | of the cemetery for the past four or five years, one of the most faithful, j careful and industrious officers that | has ever had charge of the city of the dead, renews for 96. The Times is not indulging in flattery of Uncle Kit, when it compliments the city authorities on its wisdom in retain- ing the services of the present sex ton to look after the grounds and mounds at the cemetery, as we feel sure that no other burying ground in this section of the state is kept in more perfect order. Unele Jason Woodfin, one of the largest, wealthiest and most sub- | stantial farmers of Walnut township, jealled the other day and renewed for the Trazs for bis son in-law, | Wm. E. Hiatt, who resiles at Fox, |for opposing the proposition of | building a new court house fer Cass) \eounty: Foster has a new paper, “the | Breeze, published by the Bates Co Farm News Co, whatever that means. The make up. print and! | general appearance of the new paper) | bears the ear marks of brother S L | Tathwell, of the Amsterdam Breeze, and we surmise the hand that drives the one pushes the other. The editor of the Pleasant Hill | Gazette offers the following excuses “We are opposed to cae proposi tion to build a $45,000 court house | for various reasons, among which we | may brietly state the following: | We are opposed to building ex-| pensive public buildings on general | principles. We are opposed to spending the people’s money for furnishing coun ty officials and courts and lawyers luxuriant quarters, while our farmers diag their low priced produce ioa poor market over bad roads and their children are crowded into small and uncomfortable school houses. | We are opposed to spending $45,- 000 for a building when one costing $15,000 would do just as well, and $20,000 saved to the tax riddea peo- ple of this county.” Why not put upa building for} $5,000 and save the other $10,000. It could be done and saved to the poor tax ridden people of the county Judge Lay adjournment court Saturday evening and left for home to spend the holidays with his fam- ily. While court lasted five weeks, and the docket contained some im- portant cases, among which was two murder cases, snd one for assault with intent to kill, there was less in- terest taken in the proceedings by our people who were not directly interested than in any term of court held in this city for many years. There was only one or two days during the entire term, that the populace showed any disposition to frequent the court room or interest in the proceedings. There wasa time here when the court room would be crowded day after day to hear the most trivial matters dis posed of, but that day seems to be in the past, as now only those having business go about the court room. Can the cause for this lack of curi osity be a change in the minds of the people or is it because of the change of the system of selecting jurors, whereby the job of the pro- fessionals that used to haunt the court room has been dispensed with. Goes to the Asylum, The trial of Luther Park for the murder of his brother Ezra, was brought to a sudden termination Wednesday evening, after the evi- dence of four or five witnesses had been taken in regard to his sanity, among whom was Dr..Young, who was superintendent of the Asylum at Nevada at the time Park was an inmate of that institution previous to the murder by the state accepting the plea of insanity with a recom- mendation by the jury that he be confined in the asylum The state had quite » number of witnesses from the neighborhood ot the murder and some of them kins people, who were ready to swear that in their judgment the prisoner was sane, or at least ina state of mind responsible for his acts, and that the sole derangement of his organization was a yiciows and bad temper. However this may be, there is no doubt in the least of the insanity of the prisoner and the prosecuting attorney no doubt did the right thing in accepting the plea of insan ity and putting Luther in the Asy lum where he will be held a prisoner aud out of the way of again doing harm. The following is the verdict of the jury returned from their seats: “We the Jury find the defendant not guilty on the sole ground that he was insane at the time of the com mission of the offense charged; and we further find that‘he has not entirely and permanently recovered from such insanity.” Hood’s Is Wonderful.

The wedding of Miss Clara Hazel Busch, daughter of Adolphus Busch the brewer, to Herr Von Gontard, of Germany, which took place at the Church of the Messiah, St. Louis, Monday, was the most splendid and costly affair that has ever taken place in the state, and it is said rivaled in splendor the Vanderbilt wedding in New York. After the ceremony the party repaired to the Southern hotel where the reception was held ard a magnificent banquet was given, and for this purpose the entire second floor of the hotel was chart- ered. The decorations of the rooms were as fine as it was possible for money and skill of artists to make them. Three tiousand invitations were issued and it is estimated the wedding arrangements cost Mr. Busch fully $100,000. The wedding presents aggregated in value $50,000. sented the bride with an estate in wedding gift. KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to rsonal enjoyment when rightly used.
