VOL. "VII.
A COAT OF WHITEWASH.
It was Smeared on Heavily by
Our County Court.
A Fixed Prosecuting Attorney.
He ItecoinmendM that the Court
Carefully Cover up its Track.
On Tuesday the County court in
quired (for the first time, we believe)
into the practice which has prevailed
as to the payment into the county trea
sury of moneys over and above the
clerk's salary and the actual outlay
made by him for deputy hire. As
members of the court had alreadyex
pressed themselves outside to the ef
fect that Mr. Leftwich'smodeof pro
cedure was legal, little expectation
was entertained that the outcome of
this so-called investigation would re
sult otherwise than it did. The coun
ty court and Prosecuting Attorney
Moore alike had heretofore taken Mr.
Lcftwich's interpretation of the
statute, without inquiry as to its
correctness, and it was not to be ex
pected that they would stultify their
former action.
The Prosecuting Attorney as the
legal advisor of the court was the
only man having any standing in
court in behalf of the taxpayers. His
opinion was mat Air. leftwich was
entitled to retain his salary of $ 1,100
ami as much for deputy hire as h
could collect up to $1,800. no matter
whether or not he had paid it out
Judge Ballentine. speaking as a pri
vate citizen, held that the statute
clearly meant that $1,100 was the
full compensation allowed the clerk.
and that all money over that amount
not actually paid out for deputy hire
belonged to the county.
Mr. Leftwich had hodannrder pre
pared by his attorney which was de
signed to cover up the former pro
ceedings (or non-proceedings) of the
court in this matter and give him a
clean indorsement. This he asked
the court to sign and put on record,
Judge Ballentine asked that no such
action be taken at present and that
the matter be takeu by agreement
to the circuit court. To this propos
al Mr. Leftwich would not agree
Judge Ballentinc asked the court to
direct that all moneys over and
above the clerk's salary and actual
deputy hire for the year 181)3 be paid
into the county treasury pending the
decision of the matter in the higher
courts. This action the court de
clined to take, and Mr. Lcftwich's
request for a clean bill of health was
complied with.
That, in fact, was a foregone con
elusion. Just previous to the taking
up of the case, the court had wrang
led over a little bill for drugs sup
plied to the prisoners for quite
while this case, involvingthousands
of dollars to the taxpayers, was put
through in less than half an hour,
The way in which tho court tried
to shelter itself behind the Prosecut
ing Attorney's advice and the latter
got out of it by reminding the court
that it was simply his opinion and
might bo right or wrong, mode a very
pretty interlude. Joe was too foxy
for the court, and reminded them
that in a saloon license case they had
acted contrary to his advise. He ev
idently forsces the ultimate outcome
of the case, and wants to bo as far
out of the shower as possible.
Assertion took the place of proof
as to the decisions of the Supreme
court and the usages in other coun
ties in the talks made by Messrs,
Leftwich, Moore and Hunter. The
opinion oi Ibe Attorney ueneral so
carefully kept from the open light of
day by Judge Norrid, was not con
sidered worthy of attention, Messrs.
Moore and Hunter being notoriously
better lawyers than Attorney Gen
. eral Walker. Judge Norrid, one of
Mr. Lcftwich's bondsmen, had mor
ally disqualified himself to take any
part in the investigation by his for
-'" mer declarations. Gratuitous abuse
of all and sundry who have had
' the presumption to call for an inves
-: tigation or question Mr. Lcftwich's
right or ability to interpret to hi
, superior officers the statutes govern
; ing bis duties was indulged In by
' Messrs. : Leftwich and Hunter.. The
' latter gentleman and Moore, talked
as if Mr. Leftwich was entitled to
all he could earn as his own deputy
or assistant, which remarkable piece
of absurdity (like a man lifting him
self by his boot straps) was accepted
by the Three Wise Men, and they
put on record a full indorsement of
Mr. Lcftwich's course, that of the
Prosecuting Attorney and their own.
The following is the order approved
by the court. Read it and see if you
as a tax-payer, can approve of it :
It appearing to the satisfaction of
the court that John M. Leftwich,
from term to term to the May term
18!)4 of this court inclusive, has filed
with the clerk of this court his quar
terly reports of fees collected by hiin
as clerk of the circuit court and ex-
ofticio recorder of Scott county. Mis
souri, as required by law, and the
court further finds that the said John
M. Leftwich as circuit clerk and ox-
officio recorder as aforesaid has, in
addition to his duties as said official,
performed the duties and labors of a
deputy; the court therefore allows
the said John 31. I.ieuvich the lull
amount allowed bv law, regardless
of whether the full amount has been
paid to deputies or not; and the court
further finds that the approval of
said reports has not been entered of
record in this court. It is now there
fore ordered bv the court that all of
said reports of fees be, and they
hereby are. approved bv this court.
and said John M. Leftwich as clerk
of the circuit court and ex-officio re
eorder. as aforesaid, be discharged
from any farther liability on account
ot said tecs.
But what else could t he poor things
do ? And how da the taxpayers like
the farce ? The next act comes off
in the Circuit court.
in conclusion we will say that no
man is infallible. It is our honest
opinion that the county court has
misappropriated over three thousand
dollars of the people's money. It is
possible that honest people may hon
stly tuner with us. V e have care
fully investigated the matter, and
have published the law, the Attorney
General's opinion. Attorney Elliott's
opinion, and the decisions of the Ap
pollute and Supreme courts. All
these boar us out in the stand we
have taken. The opposition have
imply abused us, and accused us of
lying, but they have been very cleav
of taking up any particular state
ment we have made and attempting
to contradict it. Even with the At
torney General's opinion in- his pos
session directly opposing such action,
Judge Norrid eagerly grusps the
whitewash brush with both hands
and swipes it over the whole affair.
Why was it that no one was allowed
to see the Attorney General's letter,
except Mr. Leftwich and, perhaps,
his counsel? Why was this opinion
not produced in court? We will al
low the people to draw their own
conclusions.

BEISTTOIT, JISSOTJIR.!, SEPTEMBER 3,
FKOM BLODGETT.
The socially inclined portion of our
town attended a large sized social
gathering at the residence of Mr. M.
B. Stubblefield last Thursday
evening. All had a fine time, es
pecially "Sug."
Rev. D. J. Leake preached his last
sermon of the conference year at this
place Sunday night. He will, how
ever, hold a revival beginning Mon
day, Sept. 10th, and lasting two or
more weeks.
Deputy G. M. Frank L. Bohn, of
the A. O. U. W.. will lecture at the
M. E. Church in Blodgett, on Thurs
day evening. Sept. 13, 18114. E-ery
one should turn out to hear one of
the brightest young men of St. Louis
advocate the grand principles of his
order.
Blodgett like Hamburg lias a club
of dog punchers, which was organized
about three years ago. We very
vividly call to mind a shot fired one
bitterly cold night about 1:30 a. m..
at one of the offending canines. The
ball from the big hammerless hit the
frozen ground near the critter, and
ricochetted into the big sign which
hangs In front of the great Commer
cial Hotel, after which the writer
and Charley pulled suddenly for bed
having the consciousness of duty well
performed.
Prof. W. G. Atchison, who will
teach our school the ensuing session,
was down Thursday seeing after the
seats, etc., at the schoolhouse.
Miss Mary Clayton and Johnny Ut-
terback were in Blodgett last Sunday
cu route to their schools, which begin
this week. They are both from Mor-
ley. Miss Clayton teaches the Pleas
ant Valley school while Mr. Utter-
back holds forth at the Hatcher
schoolhouse.
Blodgett sent eight wagon loads.
four buggies full, two carts jammed
and horsemen enough to make a to
tal of fifty-five Republicans to the
famous County Convention at Ben
ton last Saturday. She was well
rewarded in the matter of nomina
tions having three to her credit
namely, J. M. McCormick, forPresid
ing Judge of the County Court ; R. G
Williams, for associate Judge, and
V. O. Scofield. for Circuit Clerk. Mr
Williams eventually withdrew in fa
vor of Esq. John Rushing, of Diehl
stadt. It is now fixed that Blodgett
has a full share of candidates in the
field. Sail away, rabbit!
Isaac L. Smith, the champion bar
ber, left here last Saturday for Mar-
quand where he has a fine shop in
full blast.
The Ananias Club got together in
the vacant caboose ou the north
switch and the committee on Osteol
ogy and General Cussedness made an
informal report concerning the con
duct of two or three members of the
gang. The Traveling Liar, who acted
in the M. W. L. 's place, he not hav
ing returned from the Republican
convention asked that the charges be
stated. Bro. Heraclitus Pendragon
then said he had seen one of the
charter members carrying his watch
in his boot. He inquired of the
brother his object and was told
"None of your blanked business'
and he thought that perhaps the
brother had had some transactions
with the senatorial and sugar trust
combine. Another brother was
charged with having mixed beer and
whiskey in the proportion of beer
3 qts. whiskey, i pt. and having
induced a purchaser to partake of the
banquet to such extent that the gen
tleinan became hilarious and shrieked
himself and danced a high-low and
announced in capital letters that he
Rev. So-and-so, could run faster,
jump higher, dive deeper and come
up dryer than any duck in these dig'
gings. He also linked his arm
that of the Ordinary Liar's and
walked him up and down the street
proposing that they hold a series of
meetings and all of this on top
what had already been said. Inves
tigation showed that in. the first
case the brotlier was excusable for
carrying his watch in his boot as
was gold and liable to get cut in two

vious had got so drunk that he hid
his own socks and when he got sober

Republicans fu Mass Convention.
The Republicans of Scott county
met in mass convention at the court
house in Benton last Saturday, to
nominate a county ticket. Dr. R.
Sparks, of Blodgett. presided and
Clymer, of Commerce, was secre-
ary. 1 he utmost harmony prevail
ed throughout the pnx'eedings and
the humorous sallies of Judye Bal-
ntine kept the convention in ex
llent spirits, considering the forlorn
hope the party has on hand in old
cott. Long-winded speeches were
ot wanted, and none were inflicted.
The Populists had hoped for a
fusion with the g. o. p.. but the lat
ter couldn't see anything to fuse
with and, with one exception, quietly
gnored the nominees of the Third
Party. Voting for the various nom-
nees was effected by a show of
heads, and it worked like a charm.

dition. For Prosecuting Attorney.

unanimous choice. Kolen cannon

Querry and G. P. McCoy for Record
er, the convention's choice fell toMr.
McCoy. R. H. Querry, Robt. Finley
and Jas. II. McCormack were put be
fore the convention for the County
Clerkship, and Mr. Querry was the
choice. For Sheriff. L. P. Clymer
was chosen by acclamation. For
Collector. B. J. Teukhoff, Joe Hess
and Frank Miller were submitted,
and Mr. Miller won by an enthusias-
ic and overwhelming majority. For
Treasurer. Judge Ballentine was put
in nomination. The Judge objected
for two reasons, namely: that he al
ready had more money than he had
any use for; and that his son-in-law
was a candidate for the same ofhV-e
and he didn't want any suicide in his
family. Nevertheless, the Judge
had to take it. The Judge created a
ripple of laughter by submitting the
name of A. W. Fizer for Assessor.
Not being able to say that Mr. Fizer
would accept. J. B. Messmer, of Kel
so, was the unanimous choice. J. II.

An Enterprising ToWn Board.
The present Town Board of the
Village of Benton is certainly of the
progressive class. Th y don't pn pose
to let anything slip that will add to
the building up of the town.
Last October the property owners
around the courthouse square met
with the Town Board and took in
active part in havii'g an ordinance
passed establishing fire limits. Ac
cordingly an ordinance was passed
prohibitinv anything but fireproof
buildings from beinu erected within
a prescribed area. This was not u
voluntary act of the Board, but was
clone by agreement and by request of
the property owners around the
square.
Everybody recognized the ordin
ance, and everything went well. All
recognized that times were hai-d. and
that there was no building going on
in any part of the county, but hoped
that when times did open up. brick
buildings would surround the square.
But the crises came. One of our
citizens wanted to build a stable and
he wanted to put if where everybody
could see it. Consequently, he bought
twenty-six feet front of the most
prominent lot fronting the court
house and asked permission of the
Board to build the stable. The Board
is composed of our most enterprising
and progressive citizens, and they
were not willing to let the cranky
ideas of the projierty owners stop
the erection of such a structure, and
knocked the fire limits ordinance into
a cocked hat.
If any of our neighbors want to
erect a slaughterhouse, stink factory
or powder magazine anywhere within
the fire limits, we can assure them
that, in their eagerness to "improve
the town," our Board will grant
them anything they want.
While we are chairman of that
august body, we wish to make it
generally known that the stable per
mit was granted over our veto. "A
new stable or bust," seemed to be
the determination of every member
of the Board, and now they nlay be
seen with paper unci pencil in hand
