Local that State Senator Jus. rSpnvks
died at that place J an 12th, of oulok
consumption, which disease he con
tracted at Jefferson City during the
last session of th. legislature. Hi'
was one of the most prominent men in
that section of the Stat.
It la claimed that Dr. John A.
Brooks, the leader of the Prohibition
parly in Missouri, desires to be tlac d
on the national prohibition ticket, as a
candidate for vice-president. Brooks
is no doubt the ablest man in the move
ment In this stale, but why ho should
desire tho position of tail to the prohi
bition national ticket, when it can bo
nothing but a forlorn hope Is mora than
his friends ran understand,
The sentiment among Freemason
throughout the state, outside of St.
lxiuis, is practically unanimous In fa
vor of the Masonic Home being located
at Liberty. So far no good reason
has been advanced showing why it
should not he. It is moro than proba
ble that the looatlng oommittee will
set accordingly when they meet next
March. Liberty Tribnne.
The inducements that Liberty offer
are eertaiuly very great, and wo would
bo much rejoiced to see the "Home'' lo
cated there.
A gentleman from this city while in
Richmond lately went to every druc
giit in that oity and asked them if It
were possible for any one, with a pre
scribtlou from a regular physician, to
get whiskey for medicine, "and they,
without exception, told him that they
would not soil or give away a drop of
It. Carrollton Journal.
The above is no doubt true, as there
is not a druggist In Ray connnty who
will tell whiskey on prescription, bnt
if the gentleman had asked for alcohol
be could have procured all he would
pay for.
Yesterday morning Sam Jonls made
this statement in a sermon at Kaunas
City; "When I was in St. Louis 1
thought that I was nearer the pit than
I ever was beforo, but I am just 26
miles closer to it now." This remark
about Kansas. City makes it evident
that Brother Jones has undertaken
a pretty big contract in attempting to
put that booming little city on the
right track. post Dispatch.
We dont believe there is anotner liv
ing man, that the religious peoplo of
the country, would stand such talk
from, as the above, spoken in Mid pul
pit, but Sam Jones, seems to gain
strength and popularity by talking that
way, and if appearances are not very
deceptive is doing good work lu the
Masters vineyard.
The Richmond Dkiiochat, which U
one of our best escbauges and believes
1" progress, has a spluudid write-up ol
its town this week. We know notuinu
of Richmond, but its newspapers indi
cate a town ot zu,ui inhabitants, wuli
everybody gone to seed except Tom
Bogie, wno is trying to keep it alive ou
tl.oO a year. We should judge the
met'onaniHoi tne town were ait born be
fore printing presses were inveuted.
From the advertising columns of the
Dkuockat. we should doubt whether
they would appreciate tho paper's
eilo'rts iu their benalf. ChiiUcolhe
Constitution.
The editor ot the Constitution docs
the larger part of the business men of
Richmond a decided injustice in the
foregoing remarks. We oelieve the
Richmond Democrat Is patronized as
steadily, and in the aggregate as much,
by the live merchants of Richmond,
as any other county newspaper in the
statu is patronized by homo people.
If the Constitution will glance over its
own columns, and compare them with
ours, he will see his error. And an
other thing, we do not believo there is
a better paying country newspaper in
the state, .than the Democrat has al
ways proven under the present man
agement. Genuine cheerfulness is an almost
certain index of an honest heart. Dys
pepsia and genuine cheerfulness never
go hand in band, but Warner's Log
Cabin Hobs and Bucbu Remedy will
ensure you good digestion, the oertaln
index of genuine cheerfulness and the
honest heart.

The claim of Montgomery Geiger
lor pension is rejected by the commis
sioner.
Geiger was a private In Co. B Fow
ell's batallion Missouri mounted vol
unteers. It is decided that this com
pany was not "at the seat of the war
or on the frontier thereof or enroute
thereto" so aa to be entitled to a pen-
slot).
In this case Mr. Geiger had received
his land warrant which, by the law, is
more presumptive evidence of right to
pension, but it is claimed that the facts
rebut the presumption and claimant
oannot reoover.
It will be observed that said act des
ignates several classes of persons who
will be entitled to the benehts of its
provisions.
1. Ouioers and men, who being duly
enlisted, actually served sixty days
with the aruiy(or navy of the United
States iu Mexico.
V. Those who served sixty days ou
the coast or frontier tnereof.
V. Tboso who served sixty days en-
route thereto in the war with that na
tion.
4. Those who were actually engaged
In a battle in said war, ir respective of
length of service.
A. Those who may have been person
ally nauied in any resolution for any
specific service in said war.
6. The surviving widow of such oftl
oers or enlisted men.
It Is obvious that it would bo neces
sary for the appellant to satisfactori
ly prove as a prerequisite to cluiuiing
any benefits under said act, that he
was included within one of the sfurc-
said claanns of persons mentioned in
said lirst lection of said tot u eutltled

Mr. James Linville's team ran away

for the first time, and they were hitch

ville hung to the lines until one of
thera broke. This caused the horses
to run in a circle until the sleigh was

a fence, and into some feed troughs.
One of them was badly cut on the an

We are not in fuvor of Judge Norton
for governor because he is au old man,
covered all over with official hon-
now an cQluiont Judge of the su
preme court well uxed financially.
Judge Norton's ability, and integrity
is unquestioned, but there are younger
men well qualilied for the ofhoe, who
it appears to us ought to have a chance.
It is not a wise policy of any party, to
keep old men always in office to the
exclusion of younger, progressive men,
We have heard Judge Norton's claim
urged, because af his fidelity to the
confederate cause. We do not like that.
Wu favor, or oppose no man, because
of the position be took during the war,
so his conduct was honorable. If it is
wrong for one party to oppose men,
because they were confederates, it
equally wrong to favor them for that
reason. Not what men were ii years
ago, but what they Pro now, is the
question.
We understand Judge Norton is
prohibitionist; so are we. We like him
for that. But prohibition is not a par
ty question now. 11 we thought Judge
.Norton's decision on the local option
law was biased because of his temper
ance principles, we would always op.
pose him. No one acquainted with him,
believes that. It bigots, and fools oon-
uuue to objeot to Judge Norton for

The eleven steel-rail tells of this
oountry organized the Bessemer Steel
Association two years ago and forcod
the price of rails up from 127 to ! a
ton, thereby making immense profits
from the vast amount of railroad build
ing that has been done In those two
rears. Now the rail-roads have formed
.combination to atop building until
the rails can be bought cheaper. Thus
both rail-making and road-building
must .top and great armies of work
ingmen be thrown out of employment,
and other business share in the de
pression nntil these two great "coin
bines" settle a disagreement tfaat
grows out of nothing but the payment
ot a protection bonus of (17 a ton on
steel rails. With tariff protection of
only tlO a ton aleel-rsil making would
be immensely prolitable, and tne busi
ness would run more regularly, iu-
stead of alternately booming and ceas
ing. But the rail-makers think it will
nay them better to starve workingmen
occasionally, if doing so will suable
them to extort the full tariff premium
on their output when they begin again.
