Webster is a Jim Dandy, and it is hoped tn Democratic circles that the same fate will overtake the party of bis last choice, as it did in 1900. Reports from Jefferson City are to the effect that Sam B, Cook is tn re- ceipt of many congratulatory tele- grams and letters from every section of the state over his victory in gain- ing a big judgment against the Globe- Democrat for libel, and the reports further add that these congratula tory messages are not confined to the Democratic party, but include many prominent republicans Sam Cook {s one of the strong men of the State, honorable and upright tn—pri- vate and public life and itis recog: nized @s an outrage that such a man shall be hounded and maligned by a newspaper for uo other apparent purpose than to nullify his influence and degrade him in the eyes of his fellowmen, It that kind of a thing is permitted to go unpunished no man, who through distinguished abil- ity gains distinction {n his State will be safe f om such verile, ecandalous and unwrranted assaultsfrom papers ofthatilk, belonging to the opposing political party.

He came here from Lowa about twelve years ago and purchased the M. DeWitt home stead, and has since made it one of the most valuable farms in this whole section of country. He has made it arule never to sella crop from bis land, but feeds it into hogs of porkers. Mr. Staats informed us that he has never regretted coming to Missour!, and that a man can do better with our soil at half the price you haveto pay in Iowa. “In my opinion,” sald he, “land is too low in price here. It’s too good to stay publlgh i at $35 to $40 long. It will double} as the present price in less that ten years. My advice would be to any- one desiring to invest ina farm to do so at once.” The board of Managers of the Confederate Home. at Higginsville, at thelast meeting, reelecta ananimous vote.

Lexington, Ky., December 11 —The eudal wari Breathitt county, whieh has thrown the atate In & turmoil during the past two years and which has cost human life by the wholesale, broke out afresh in Jackson, and peace ful citizona fear a more serious outbreak av any moment. During a fight Grant Holliday, a deputy sheriff under Et. Callsban and a strong henchman of the Har- gis-Cullahan faction, was shot and instantly killed by Jake Noble, and the latter received a wound full inthe face, which will likely coat him hislife. Noble is e brother of County School Superintendent Henry B. Noble, and, while he has never takenany part in the troubles in the county, he has been a strong supporter of his broth- era, several of whom have appeared against the Hargises and Callahan in the criminal prosecutions for the mur- der of Cockrill and Marcum, and he also took an active part in therecent election, in Which the—Hergis-Calla-+- han faction was defeated, and the fight is said to have resulted from Noble’s attitude in the election, When the two men met, Holli ay, without a word of warning, shot Noble in the face, and, after falling, the latter turned over on his back and fired two shots into Holliday from a revolver, death being instan- taneous Men now go about the town heavily armed and prepared for war.
