NOT ENTIRELY, lowa has taken Missouri, says an Towa exchange.

Is has been no uncom. | telency and zeal of the Superintend- | mon thing for farmers in Bates coun- ty to sell thelr half sections, wander for a few months over the west and | return to Bates and buy quarter sec- sions tor what they got for thefr half sections. This truth has been forced home upon Missourians {n time to prevent Iowans from entirely taking the state. EE The flood can never rise above its founsain head. The creature can not rise above his creator. It wae hoped by sensible Amertcans that the retirement of Roosevelt from the presidency would mean the passing of the Teddy Bear. Butit seems that mythical creature is to be followed by the equally mythical “Billy,jPos- sum.” What would Grover Cleve- land or old Andrew Jackson have sald ff any body had attempted such unwarranted and ridiculous use of their names; we shudder to think of such @ possibilty. ———————— A vacancy exists in the Butler School Boad by the removal of B. F. Moore to Kansas City, The law pro- vides that itis necessary to have a full board to transact business. The members of the school board wi probably elect a successor to Mr. Moore, to serve until the spring elec- tions, at {ts next meeting, January 29th. Who wants to be school di- rector? Don’t all speak at once. ‘hear him. The trial of Ed. Sweets at Osceola jlast week for murder resulted in a| hung jury and defendant was admit- ted to bail. Sweet ts a young Henry | county negroand a feud had existed | between his family and the Fewells, jof Appleton City. One night while Will Fewell was standing at the de- potin Appleton, Sweets stepped up behind him and struck him over the head witha club, the blow causing concussion of the brain andjresulting in the death of Fewell. For the first time in the history of Miesourl there are negro clerks and doorkeepers in the legielature. Some of the old timers do not like to see their women folk eltting beside negro men, but this is the fate of war. The negroes elected the Republicans to office and have a perfect right to de- mand their share of the spoils, In- stead of blaming them thestblame should be placed where {t belongs— to the conditions which makejit pos- sible.—Osceola Democrat. Circuit clerk T. D. Embree ts rush- ing things in his office in preparation for the February term of court. The dovket, just from the hands of the printer, shows that Tuesday, Febru- ary 9th, fs set aide for divorce day, at which time elghteen mismated pairs will alr their domestic infelicity before his honor, Judge Denton.

The principle of paroling prisoners {n special cases {s all right, but there {s danger of mawkish sentimentality going too far. We admire the stand of a new Kansas City . xdge whocall- eda bunch of paroled burglars be- fore him and sald. “It’s a lucky thing that you were paroled before I took this office; paroles for men con- victed of such crimes will be scarce in this court after this’”—Henry Co. emocrat. Here isa poser credited to the Lamar Democrat: Here’s what we want to know? When the occasional church member, who fs all the time rushing down to ask the merchants athome to do something for the church, while he forms a “club” to buy all of his stuff from Sears-Roe- buck & Co., goes up and knocks up- on the golden gate, how 1s St. Peter ashe tells him to get downto the other place, where he’s all of thatime belonged, going to keep from ewear- ng.
