Graves was before the Federal court, at Kansas City, Mo., representing the following parties, indicted for perjury in making false affidavits in widow’s pension claim of Elizabeth Sandt: Nicholas and Elizabeth Sandt, George Tieman, J.

The minister, above all others, ought to be filled with love rather than perse- cution, and if the game is against the rules of the church and the re- factory member will not mend his way by love and right, then dismiss him or her from the church.

The constitutional amendment to | be voted on at the next election, ad mitting children 5 years of age to attend our public schools, ought to be voted down unanimouely. The schools should not be made a nur- sery for infants. Then again, it is certainly injurious to the health of a child to confine it in school at such a tender age. Don’t forget to vote dcwn the amendment.

Miss Sallie McCoy, of this office, | received the sad intelligence by tele- gram Monday evening from Swartz, Vernon county, of the death of her | sister Mrs. Sam Morgan, and took the first train to be present at the | funeral. Deceased had been sick for a week or ten days with congestion of the stomach, but she had improv- ed so much the past three or four days it was thought the worst was over and that she would soon be fully recovered. Consequently her death was very sudden and unex- pected. Her mother, Mrs. MeCoy of this city and sister,Mrs. Mount of Sedalia, cared for her during her ill- ness and were with her in her dying hour.

United States Senator Dubois, of Idaho, has written a letter in which he says. “In the event of the St. Louis -convention adopting a gold bug or straddle candidate, I shall bolt the convention. I believe that I have a sufficient personal following in Idaho added to the following which I will get from other parties on the silver movement to defeat the republican party in Idaho.”These things go to show that all is not har- mony im the Republican camp.
