Some of the boodlers are hunting health resorts out of the state. Put the boodlers and bribe takers in the penitentiary or run them out of the state. It is safe to say Lieutenant Gov. Lee’s gubernatorial aspirations have been bottled for the time being, at least. Governor Dockery, has vetoed the bill passed by the legislature estab- lishing a southwest Normal schoo! in Misssouri. —_— Come home, Lieutenant-Governor | Lee, and make a clean breast of what you know about the boodling busi- ness and assist the prosecutors in their effort to punish the guilty rascals, The five Missouri packing compan- ies which were fined $5,000 each for violation of the anti-trust law, by the supreme court, have paid their fines and costs to thestate. The fines and costs amounted to $27,136. The press and the people of the State are opposed to all kinds of boodlers; that is, all respectable peo- ple, and all newspapers that are not commercial, and who hold principles above men and money.—Clinton Trib une, If the senators accused of boodling are not guilty they should not take to the brush. Gov. Taylor said he was not guilty or inany way respon- sible for the murder of Governor Goebel, but he takes good care to keep out of Kentucky. Two leaders of the mob who hung the negro at Joptin the other day, have been arrested and sent to jail. Seven hundred negroes have left the town and Friday and Saturday six hundred men guarded the city. The saloons were allclosed by order of the mayor. The supreme court of Kansas has * af handed down a decision sustain- ing the rights of cities, school dis- tricts and counties in Kansas to maintain separate schools for whites and blacks and to compel attendance of the children of each race to its own schools or none. On a ten thousand dollar guaran- tee against loss for the first year, by the citizens of Clinton, the Seven Hills Chautaqua company, of Owensboro, Ky., has purchased the Artesian Park at Clinton, and have under- taken to improve and manage the Artesian Park and put ona ten days program for this season. Three Republican and two Demo- cratic senators have been indicted for bribery. There are 26 Demo- crate and 8 Republicans in the Sen- ate. Weare not stuck up over this big proportion of Republican bood- lers. There is no excuse for Demo- crate boodling, and we hope to see every one guilty of that crime con- victed and sent to the penitentiary. A proclamation was issued by Governor Dockery Monday calling upon the people of Missouri to obser- ve April 30, the day of thededication of the World’s Fair grounds at St. Louis, as a holiday. He “requests the people, at the approaching cen- tennial anniversary of the acquisi- tion of the Louisiana territory, to suspend, so far as may be practic- able, their usual avocations and unite in the celebration of this auspi- cious event.” Attorney General Crow is a good man for the democrats to keep an eye on. He is sawing wood and eay- ing nothing. He carried the beef In the afternoon they listened to addresses by those distinguished statesmen and orators, Hor. Will- iam J. Bryan, Senators Cockrell and Stone and Congressman Hitchcock, of Omaha. Atnight with Senator Stone the editors were the guests of the Jack- son County Democratic Club at a banquet given in honor of Jefferson’s birthday. Is is claimed that this was one of the most elaborate ban- quets ever held in Kansas City. The ten courses were eaten while a select orchestra discoursed sweet strains of music, The tables were decorated by hundreds of easter lillies, beauti- fulroses and ferns, the hall was drap- ed in national colors. Eloquent ad- dresses were delivered by Senator Stone, Senator Cockrell, William Jennings Bryan, Cato Sells, of Lowa, G. M. Hitchcock, of Omaha, David Overmyer, of Kansas, and Dr, W. 8. Woods. The Jackson County Demo- cratic Club certainly did itself proud on this occasion, and the results will be beneficial to the party through- out the country. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Missouri State fair held at Sedalia, the contract for the construction of five new fair buildings to cost $65,000 were let. The build- ings are to be completed in time for this year's fair. SEVEN INDICTMENTS RETURNED BY COLE COUNTY GRAND JURY. True Bills Were Returned Against Three Others, but Their Names Were not Made Known---Be- lieved that Others Will Follow Next Week. Jefferson City, Mo., April 18,—Sen- ators Frank Farris, of Steelville, Crawford county, Buel L. Matthews of Clayton, St. Louis county, and U A. Smith of St. Louis, Baking Pow der Lobbyist Daniel J. Kelley aud three unknown men have been indict ed by the Cole county grand jury in connection with legislation during the Forty-first and Forty-secoud sessions of the general assembly. Definite information regarding the charges against those indicted can- not be obtained to-night. It ix thought that bribery charges have been preferred against Farris, Kelley and Smith, and accepting a bribe against Matthews. If those indicted Farris is a demo- crat and former president pro tem. of the senate, while Smith and Mat thews are republicans of the Kerens brand. Four indictments were returned late this evening in addition to the three of last night. Aswasgenerally known Thursday, six indictments had been decided upon and the at- torney general was preparing the papers. This morning another indictment was agreed upon, so that those now returned reach a total of seven. It is probable that more will follow when the grand jury meets a week from Monday to renew its investiga- tions. Much evidence has ~ been secured which will bear further inves- tigation and, according to reliable information, the entire gist has not been finished. Of course, attorney general Crow and his assistants, Sam B. Jeffries and C. D. Corum, are elated over the work thus far accomplished. Mr. Crow started theinvestigation under difficulties. He has brought witness- es from all parts of thestate, worked one against another and secured enough testimony to justify the iseu- ance of seven indictments, in: all of which he has good cases.

Crisp, of Independ- ence, died suddenly at his home in that town at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning of fatty degeneration of the heart. Colonel Crisp seemed as well as usual Tuesday afternoon. He was about town conversing with friends, but before geing home complained of not feeling well During the night he awakened and told members of his family that he was suffering from a smothering sensation, a trouble to which he has been subject for many years. Alter a time he seemed quiet- er. When one of the family entered his room at 3 o'clock he was found to have passed away. His death removes & conspicuous figure from the circle of prominent Missourians. Colonel Crisp was born 66 years ago on the old Crisp homestead near Chapel Hill in Lafayette county. He grew up on the farm, and attended the famous old college at Chapel edfrom this institution and alsofrom the State University of Missouri. He early began to take an active part in public affairs, and when Mis- souri seceded from the union, and the secession legislature met at Neosho, he was made secretary of the senate, He served in the war of the rebellion under Geueral Shelby in Price’s army. At the close of the war, having decid- ed to follow the profession of law, he came to- Independence, where he has lived ever since.

He represented the first district of Jackson county in the house during the last session of the legislature, which recently ad- journed. Several years before he had also been a member of that body for two consecutive terms.

Sawyer, of Independence, who ran independently. CUTIGURA SOAP The World's Greatest Skin: Soap, Tho Standard of Every Hatin of the Earth. Sol eater Than the Wol’s Prot of Other Shin Sos.

Brunk came into possession of the proposed robbery and informed the officers of the bank and be was made one of the guards. the raid took place as Brunk had stated, the keys to the bank having been taken from cashier Wade, who was tied toa tree by the would be robbers. Then they went to to the bank, and on entering the building the guards fired upon them, killing Rambo, and capturing the others, who were sent to the penitentiary, After this Brunk was presented with a fine gold watch by the bankers of Missouri, and he was educatei by Cashier Wade and later became a lawyer.—Nevada Mail.
