- The bicnnV. election for the choos
ing of fndip officers took pace in
all the townships Tuesday. In Keytes
ville the role was phenomenally large,
reaching 85o which was witnia 4 rotes
of tht cast in the November election.
This Was due to the exciung contests
for tonh:p trustee and constable, to
gethiT Wish the Ure number of rcan
dldites for road overseers. The white
workers, who at former elections hare
-corre'Iol the .. floating rx ten and
driven them to the polls, were replac-
-cd by the cohred brother, duly armed
with h! shingle, pencil and banch of
tickets, who did good work for their

(night last week in a house located
near the rj" at Brunswick that came

manded bv a young man, who on
being, refused, proceeded to' bitter
down the door. One of the women
inmates warned the fellox to desist or
she would shoot. The ' ruIHin ans
wered by a stronger onslaught on the
door, when the woman fired, the bul-
l oassin through the door, perfer-
auog the man s over and uadcrcoat,
vest and two shirts, and slightly
abraded the skin of his abdomen.
The notorious women occunrinz the
house became frihtenei over the af-
"ir goals and departed on the night
tram for puts unknown. No com
plaint was made to the authorities,
therefore no arrests were made. The
name of the man who was shot ?t
is Eoochs, who hails from Muberly.
while the woman who did the shooting
sails under the suggestive cognomen
I of "Calamity Jane."

less and unconscious from the begin

before Mr. Mitchell reached her home.
She was 54 years of age and leaves a
husband and ten children six girls
and four boys. Two of her daughters
are tnamed, wh'le the youngest child
is 14 years old. Mr. Mitchell says
the prospect for wheat from Kansas
City to Bates county is much better
than it is here. Farmers are sowing
oats and planting potatoes. He saw
several farmers planting potatoes with
planters arranged for 'that purpose.

J. K. Robertson, the senior pro
prietor of the Keytesville Signal, has
sold his Yolow Creek -township 160-
acre farm to a Mr. West for $3,100.
This males the second farm the bux
om bull-hoc has sunk in liu trantic
endeavors to run a newspaper, and
he is not yet extricated from the fi
nancuJ meshes into which his journal
istic gymnastics have landed him. It
is both amusing and distressing to
observe such a creature as Hull-frog
Robertson engaged in "literary pur
suits, lie understands about as
much of what constitutes a newspaper
as a Hottentot knows of the plan of
salvation. We pity him some, but we
pity the Stgnars readers more.
The townslup election at this place
last Tuesday resulted in the usual
number of drunks, but only . wo fights
were recorded, and they occurred be-
wecn political enthusiasts of coor.
John Martin and Den Kutler had a
knock down argument, and afterwards
settled their differences in the mayor's
court. Martin was fined S and costs

We were unable to obtain the vote

Messrs. W. C. Gaston, the druggist,
and H. M. Sigloch, the jeweler, both
of Keytesv?.le. have invented quite a
useful contrivance in the shape of a
can-opener upon which they have ap
plied to their Uncle Sam for a patent.
The handles resemble those of a pair
of scissors, but are riveted together at
the ends. About midway of the
handles there is a slot ia which a
movable screw, with a wit 00 the up
per side, works back and forth, making
it adjustable"! any size can. On the
lower side of one of these screws there is
a knife whkh dees the cutting, while on
the other there is an appliance, which.
by bearing down on the handle, holds
the can steady while it is being open
