The gross increase in brokerage as
fixed by the county board of equal
ization the first week in April amount
ed to 9 291.202. The board of ap
peals which was in session on Mon
day and Tuesday of this . week, re
duced this amount $129,259, leav
ing a net Increase of $161,943. No
changed were made in the valuation
of fanning lands and live .stock by

Judge J. B. Hyde, presiding justice
of our honorable county court, and
a man by the name of Carter, of near
Jacksonville, Randolph county, in
dulged in a few words and then went
together at Moberly on Friday night
oflast week. .We understand that
the judge and Mr. Carter tenderly
alluded to each other as a liar, and
that the tender sentiments grew out
of a controversy between them over
the Hall-Mansur congressional con
test. Carter used his fist and the
judge used his cane. A plate glass
window at the Merchants, hotel was
broken out in the rounds, but neith
er of the combatants were seriously
hurt. It is said that they afterwards
"made up" and chipped in and paid
for the broken glass. Too bad that
the congressional wrangle has come
to blows and sore heads.
The commerce of Keytesville could.be very
materially increased if a road were thrown
up across the bottom leading from the Mus
cle Fork bridge, just south of Keytesville de
pot, to Hamner bridge. There are times
when this bottom is almost impassable, nnd
when the trade from the section of the coun
ty south of Keytesville is cut off. A graded
road across the bottom from the Red bridge
to "Uncle Johnnie" Brill's late farm would
also be of incalculable benefit in adding to
the volume of Keytesville's trade. Geod
roads in inducing trade to come to a town
are about as essential as good stocks of
goods. We hope to see our business men
take hold of the suggestions here offered, and
hope that 'ere another spring shall have
budded that a good, graded road will be
thrown up across every bottom that leads to
Keytesville, not only that but that the roads
generally will be put in good repair.
The annual election for city
officers was held in Sumner on Tues

lage act, the president of the board
of trustees acts in the capacity of
mayor. --- - -
Charles Hoffman, an inoffensive
and well-to-do farmer, living in the
vicinity of Brunswick, became insane
several months ago and was taken
to the asylum at St. Joseph. On or
about April the 19th he escaped
from that institution and returned
to his home, near Brunswick. Being
still violently insane he was rear
rested by Sheriff O. B. Anderson on
Monday and taken back to the asy
lum at St. Joseph. Sheriff Anderson
was accompanied to St. Joseph by

Bridge Commissioner A. L. Wires

that has been thrown up near the

flow of low lands.

REPUBLICAN! ASSEMBLED.
Proceedings o! the County Conventon Held at
Keytesville, Monday, April 25th.
Last Monday was a gala day for
the Republicans of Chariton county,
and the gang that assembled at the
court-house here that day was in
good spirits notwithstanding they
are being robbed every day of their
lives by the McKinley bill. They
whistled merrily, however, like the
boy who waistled while going
through the graveyard to keep his
courage up. What the convention
lacked in numbers was made up for
in enthusiasm and ' whistling:."
The meeting was called to order by
Judge O. F. Smith, of Keytesville,
who presided as chairman. C. W.
Northcott, of Sumner, was elected
secretary and C. R. Luster, of Bruns
wick, assistant secretary.
Upon motion of David Longsdorf
a committee of five was appointed to
select delegates to the state conven
tions at Jefferson City April 27th and
28th, to nominate a state ticket and
to select delegates to the national
Republican convention at Minneapo
lis June 7th, and also to select dele
gates to the congressional conven
tion to be held at Laclede May 4th,
to nominate a Republican candidate
for congress in this, the Second dis
tnct.
The motion of Mr. Longsdorf car
ried, whereupon the following com
mittee was appointed for the pur
poses named : F. M. Lewis, A.Colyer,
John Randolph and M. G. Holcomb.
On motion of C. W. Northcott a
committee of three was appointed on
resolutions as follows: C. R. Luster,
Ci W. Northcott and L. Dickson.
The committee appointed to select
delegates to the state and congress-
onal conventions reported as fol
lows: 8TATE DELEGATES!
F. C. Sasse, Peter Smith,

CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATES.
O. F. Smith, Bion McCurry, ' '
F. M. Lewis, F. C. Sasse,
David Longsdorf, John Randolph,
Frank Pryde, Geo. Heckler.
At this juncture a wrangle occurred,
lead by Rev. P. A. Crockett, col.,
clamoring for the recognition of a
colored Republican on each of the
delegations to the state and con
gressional conventions. A discussion
of the issue followed, which resulted
in the withdrawal of Geo. Heckler
from the congressional delegation,
and the substitution of the name of
Marion Peery, col., in Mr. Heckler's
stead. And then the negroes smiled,
and were apparently as happy as
though a "water million" were
about to be carved.
The committee on the selection of
delegates recommended that the
delegates be authorized to cast the
entire vote of the county at the state
and congressional conventions and
that no proxies be recognized.
The committee on resolutions re
ported a set of resolutions strongly
endorsing Blaine's reciprocity (Dem
ocratic free trade), the administra
tion of President Harrison, and urg
ing Harrison's renomination for a
second term. Also urging the re
nomination of Major Wm. Warner
for governor, and also for delegate
at large to the Minneapolis . conven
tion, June 7th. A resolution was
also passed endorsing Capt. Louis
Benecke, of Brunswick, as a district
delegate to the Minneapolis conven
tion, which resolutions were unani
mously adopted and instructions to
the delegates given accordingly.
After the organization of a new
county central committee for the
ensuing two years the convention
adjourned. '

Rev. E. E. Smith has been again
installed as pastor of the Presby

few months. He preaches in Keytes

Sunday and at Clark, Randolph
county, the fourth Sunday.
The Press-Spectator says that a
family of bargain seekers from near
Keytesville were in Salisbury one day
last week and bought a bill of goods
amounting to $113. It is a reflec
tion on the good sense of any family
from near Key tesville or any other -place
to go further and fare worse,
but the Press-Spectator, no doubt,
knows what it is talking about, re
flection or no reflection.
Tony Kiiting, of Salisbury, has
bought out.the blacksmithing busi
ness of C. L. Hearing, in this place,
and is now installed in full charge of
the. business. Mr. Kiiting comes
highly recommended as an excellent
blacksmith and machinist, and hopes
to receive that portion of the public
patronage that his workmanship
merits. See his "ad" in another
column. ' --V-'
Dr. Came the well-known oculist of Chica
go, will be here next week an4 will remain a
few days after that date. The doctor has a
national reputation as an oculist, and it is
seldom that a town as small as this is visit
ed by so eminent a specialist for the practice
of his profession. Dr. Camp comes well rec
ommended, and the people of this vicinity
whose eyes are afflicted will miss the oppor
tunity of a lifetime if they fail to call on him
during his stay here.. 14tl
We did not have the pleasure of attending
the closing exercises of the Keytesville col Or
el public school at the opera house Satur
day night, but understand that everything"

interesting address was delivered by -Prof. J.

Claude Dysart, who in his early
boyhood lived in Keytesville, was
here last week visiting Horace Mann.
Claude had the misfortune some two
months ago to lose his left hand and ,
a part of his arm by getting it
caught between two drawheads while
breaking on the Ft. Scott, Memphis
& Kansas City railway. He is now
living at Ft. Scott, Kas. The
amount of the damages sustained in
his recent unfortunate accident has
not yet been adjusted with thev com
pany. ' ;
Jerome Bearing, of Brunswick, had the mis
fortune to get both bones of his left leg bro
ken about half way between the ankle and
knee while unloading some saw logs from a
car at his native lumber yard, in Brunswick,
Wednesday afternoon, by being struck by a
log as it fell from the car. Mr. Bearing also
received slight injuries about the head., Drs.
Edwards and Martin were called to set the
broken limb, and the patient is now doing as
well as could be expected. Mr. Dearing, we
understand, has had the same - leg , broken
twice before. ' ' ' : " '
