The ten-year old son of David Hope, Moundville township, Ver- fon county, was bitten in the eac by a mad dog a few days ago. far has been a gracious good thing for the poor of the cities and towns throughout the state, but an awful bad thing on business. The tramps put in jail last week may be the Collins post office burg Jars. They had stamps—whole sheets of them and they evidently didn’t get them honestly. Jobn J. Kelley, St. Louis, aged 76 | years,died in his pew while celebrat ing mass at 7:30 at St. Vincent Cath | olic church. He had not missed daily mass for fifty-five years. By request of persons living south of town we again call the attention of the county court and bridge com- missioner to the dangerous and un safe condition of the cable bridge over Mound branch.

Friday’s Rich Hill Review reports that a young man of that city was| peppered with fine shot in the neigh borhood of his back suspender bat. | tous Thursday night The young fellow was shot at a house of ques-} tionable reputation and as it was his first offense the Review withheld his name. Joku W. Daniels, one of the most prominent citizens of Saline covnty, was found by the roadside in an un conscious condition near Gilliam The old man had been thrown from his horse while returning home, and laid out all wight. Ho was taken home, but from the fall and exposure he died in a few hours. The jail is over crowded with prisoners. There is now confined in the prison twenty six men, and they represent nearly every degree of the crimiual calendar, from murder to the petty thef. Stranger still, it is a motley crowd, composed almost entirely of young men. W. W. Wallace, arrested at Clin- ton on the charge of splitting aud raising bill, by U.S Marshals, was held in a $1,000 bond Wallace had an ingenious method of raising the bills He would split $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills, pasting half the lower on half the higher denomination bills, thus altered he even deceived the bankers at Springfield. R. D. and W. H. Ewin, brothers, of Deepwater township, returned the last of the week from southern Missouri, with eighty three head of cattle, as follows: 30 head of good feeders, 25 head of calves and the rest yearlings. They found prices high and had to gather up what they got. They will sell any or all these cattle at fair prices. Marshal Beatty run in a gang of tramps at the Hill afew nights ago who were well fixed for trouble. The gang had been sleeping in the pas- senger coaches at the Memphis yards. One ofthe gang had a 32- caliber pistol, another had a 38, and another a 44. The last named man stood the agent off with his gun when he went to the car to drive; them away. The Rich Hill Review reports a} | shooting scrape at Panama, a coal | and mining station a few miles south | of that city, Saturday night. In al], nine shots were fired, and four men were wounded. The shooting | took place at the door of a dance| hall, and was brought about by a| young man named Ed. Whitten try-| ing to force his way into the hall uninvited. Those wounded were: Ed Whitten, Jno.

In election of officers there was no change. W FE. Walton was elected president | aud alsoof the Trust Co, Booker Poweil, vice-president of the bank Wright vice president of the Trust Co. J. R. Jenkins was re elected cashier ofthe bank Frank Allen was continued as secretary of the Truat Co 3 sbare-| Sheriff Mudd is having screens put over the windows at the jail. This is done for the purpose of keeping persons on the outside from handing in articles to prisoners. A large sign notifying persons not to trespass upon the jail grounds unless accompanied by an officer has been placed at the gate entrance. A jail er cannot be too careful or particu lar and sheriff Mudd is to be con gretulated for the above improvement in protecting the wiudows and adopting the rule of no admittance to intruders or curiosity seekers. Last but not least, the sheriff bas adopted another rule that will meet with hearty approval, and that is, that, prisoners placed in his keep ing will be put in jail and kept there until released by due process of law There is not the slightest doubt but that the person sent to jail by a court for punishment, should suffer the penalty If jail treatment is distasteful and disgraceful,behave yourself and keep out. While at Butler Friday evening A E Beaty, chief of police of Rich Hill,was made a full fledged deputy sheriff by Sheriff Mudd He was sworn in and left with his creden tials on the night train. The selec tion is a most excellent one and will certainly meet with approbation, especially of the citizens of the south part of the county. The appoint ment will not interfere with Mr Beaty’s present official position as policeman for Rich Hill The sher iff has a great deal of business south of the river, and by clothing Mr Beaty with authority to act in cases demanded the attention of the sher iff, will relieve sheriff Mudd of con- siderable work and aonoyance in that section of the county. In ad dition to this, an officer at Rich Hill can act prompt in all metters and his presence is calculated to lesren crime. The appointment, sheriff Mudd, is a happy thought and the selection of an individual a good one. Short Change Men. Two flim—flam or short change young men come to grief in Butler. | They gave their names as F. E. Wil son and Frank M. Thornberry, aad claim to hail from Osawatomie, Kan sas. The rascals arrived in town Friday and began straightway to iflim-flam or shore change game They went from store to store and in several places attempted to work their game, but in each instance were ansuccessful The city mar shal got on their track and learning of their attempt to cheat and de fraud placed them under arrest Mon day they were taken before Squire Hemstreet and a jury trial resulted in assessing a fine of $20 and coste eeereoeggoeccce se0ceeees WE HAVE QUITE A STOGK OF Comforts AND Blankets TO CLOSE THEM OUT WE WILL MAKE EXTRA LOW PRICES ON THEM.
