THE PLEASAN TON TKAOKliV.
From the Kansas City Journal.
Pi.easantox, Kas., June 3. I he
murdered family discovered tour
miles north ot here yesterday was
the family of John H. Anderson.
The bodies found were Mrs. Ander
son, aged about 35 years ; Lillian, 13
years; Ella, 10 years: Anna, b and
James, 4 years. Anna's body was
discovered this morning, making five
bodies so far. The family were
very improvident, the man, John H.
Anderson, and his nephew by mar
riage. Lewis WamDler. preferring
o --- 1 '
fishing and hunting to work. It
seems, from what can be learned,
that this Lewis Wampler had com
mitted some crime which the Ander
son family were fully acquainted
with and on several occasions bad
threatened to kill the whole family.
From every indication he carried out
his threat. On Mav 26 Wampler
and Anderson lett Jones' switch (a
;wood switch about five miles north
ot here", to p-o to Missouri after An
derson's family, who resided on II.
F. Caton's farm, about ten miles east
of Pleasanton. On Monday, M v
26, Wampler appeared at the house
alone, and told Mrs. Anderson that
her husdand was arrested ant, in the
calaboose at Pleasanton for some un
known cause, and wanted her to
come to him. She we.it to a neigh
bor named Mulhs and stated that
she was afraid to go with W ampler,
for fear he would kill her. but he
prevaded on her o ro. and
he wanted to know the way to Jones
switch. lie directed them there
and took especial notice of him and j Various
his dog, a yellow shepherd dog with j
white on neck and feet. That is the
last trace of the family u.itil the dis
covery of the bodies. Parties found
the wagon, harness and one hoise.
Louis Wampler is a man about
30 or 35 years old, about five feet
six and a half or seven inches tall,
dark complexion, weighs about 1 40
pounds, nothing peculiar about his
speech or Walk; dressed in very
common clothes. One horse and
bridal and his rifle are missing, and
are wanted very badly in this neigh
borhood. It is supposed that the
body of Anderson will yet be found
somewhere on the route from fone s
switch to his home in Bates county,
Mo.
Everything that can be done to se
cure the person of Wampler will be
done by our people. There has nev
er been such excitement 111 this vi
cinity since the memorao'.e day that
Pi ice fought his only batt.e on free
soil on the ground on which this
town is now located.

Watch Them!
From the Missouri Repulican.
Although at the Moberley conven
tion of 1SS0 there was a large ma
irW,. f Tilden men. it is known
that by trickery and false representa
tions a number of delegates got m
who were at haart opposed to the
nomination of that statesman.
These persons organized the dele
gation and gave all the positions of
honor to the anti-Tilden men Pul
itzer, Mtiuford, O'Day & Co. It
turned out that w hilst the Democrats
of the state supposed they were send
ing a substantially solid Tdden dele
gation to Cincinnati, the tables were
turned upon them by hocus pocus.
On one point, however, these schem-
ers were beaten. Pulitzer, Muntorn,
O'Dav & Co. sought to carry the
delegation for the admission of the
Tammanv bolters, and worked like
beavers for John Kelly. They were,
indeed, able to muster eleven votes,
bat there w ere nineteen opposed to
!.... -mil the- convention sat down
l iv 1 9
on the Tammany claim by a vote ot
nearly two to one.
This little bit of history mav be use
ful in casting about for Tilden dele- j
gates to the Chicago Democratic
convention. It is "dl well enough
not to ostracise Democrats who, tour
or eight ve.rs ago. were honestlv in

crop in this part of the coutry will be
failure this season. Cheat has
made its appearance in almost every
fihl tn such an extent that it will
hardly be. worth harvesting.
Nevada Mail: Fourteen car
loads of Texas cattle passed through
here Wednesday on second No. 156,
and eighteen car loads followed on
No. kS. They were en route for
St. Louis, but were not in good ship
ping condition, a large number ot
them being down in the cars.
Clinton Cieamery Co. have started
a wagon for the purpose of deliver
ing buttermilk to city patrons, daily
except Sunday, at 7 1-3 cents per
gallon. They are churning trom
1,000 to 1200 pounds of butter a
week. They purchase cream trom
about one hundred parties, a num
ber realizing from $10 to $21 per
month.

Ilolden Enterfrisc : Much has
been said here in regard tothegrow-,11-'
crop of wheat. As Johnson
county is the great wheat growing
centiv of Missouri, several letters
have been addressed to us making
: ..c t. tbi. nutlonk. To all
1IIUUII II" " "
of which we have replied, from our
information, that wheat is looking
much better now than a few weeks
3Cro, and that more than a half crop
will be harvested. Corn was plant
ed late, and owing to the cool weath
er the stand is not good, and the
prospect for a large yield not flatter
ing.
Harrisonville Detnocrat: There
has been considerable tdk and some
fears expressed, that the wheat crop
in this county would be cut snon
this season on account of the chintz
hutrs. rust and cheat. We conversed
a day or two since with a gentleman
who is a careful observer of these
things, and who has personally ex
amined a great manv fields within a
radius of six miles of Harrisonville.
and he informs us that within that
limit on the northwest, west, south
west and south, the prospects for an
extra fine crop were never better,
and there is scarcely any cheat to be
. . ., . a tMitIiP3ttlie
seen, tn tne c;ii -
ptospects are no so good. The
crop in that region will be below an
average with considerable cheat.
Our informant says he found chintz -bugs
in but one field, and they not
doing any great damage. Very lit
tle rust was seen anvwhere Onnn-
irniv.nther oart ot the
llHItldUUii m.w.- 4
county is to the effect that m some
rletus chent is very plentiful, butasa
general thing the crop will be an av
