The Glasgow Missonrtam makes mention of the fact that the mandamus proceedings by the Glasgow school district came up for a hearing ia the Salisbury circuit court at its late session and owing to the trawil a'ngness of the members of the board to Ale a bond for costs the suit was dismissed, and that for the present at least the Nordmeycr school will continue unmolested. As a matter of fact the Nordmeycr school ought to go on. not for the present only, but for all time to come, and the Glasgow school board ought to be ashamed that it ever undertook to prevent the organization of the Nordmeycr school district. From time immemorial the people of that district had paid tribute to the Glasgow school a large majority of the children bong too remote to reap any benefits therefrom. They had sufficient territory and children of their own, besides a goodly school fund drawn from Chariton county to justify an organization of thdr own, and the people there did right in doing so. There may have been some technical objections to their proceedings, but as a matter of right and justice they ought to have been let alone in the enjoyment of their own school. MXUMlAGtM. A.

The preliminary trial of Ed Coburn. charged with the murder of Charley Stevens, was held at Chillicothe last week and resulted in his being held for the grand jury, his bond bdng fix ed at $5 000, which was readily given by sureties who are responsible for a much larger amount. The testimony against the accused was very flimsy. Coburn is said to be an exemplary young man. His arrest was a sur prise to every one and his bdng plac ed under bond by the officiating jus tice is a surprise equally as great.
