J REWARDED AT LAST. Pensions Secured for the 3fexiean War Veterans. j The house bill granting pensions to soldiers and sailorsot the Mexican war was considered and passed by the senate. The bill as passed directs the secretary ot the interior to place on the pension roll the names ot the surviving officers ami enlisted men, including mariners, militi, and vol unteers, who, being July enlisted, actually serve-,! -sixty days with the vrmy or r..,vv United Suie in Mexico, or on the co.r or frontier thrrco or r-::-. i!u..t., in war with t;..,: .., ,., .. .. 1VU.C ;lctu ally cr,..,oi :,. :, fttrl i ,h.lt war a ''"'c : -1: -.ar.T.-d, and their surviving widows, provided thatsu.h widy.s have not remar ried, and provided that every such oificvr, eaiisttd u... , or widow, who is or may become 62 yeais of age, or who is or may become subject to any disability or dependency equivalent to some cause recognized by the pension laws as a sufficient reason fcr the allowance ot a pension, shall be entitled to the benefits of the act, ecept where such disability or de pendency was incurred in aiding or atetting the late rebellion.

Swift Ketrilmtion. Jim Allen who killed young Small, son ot Major Small, of Greenfield, Mo near Carthage, was himselt kill ed Tuesday at about 1 o'clock by J. II. Small, brother of the murdered m:n. It seems that Allen killed his victim solely for the purpose of rob biig him of a revolver, and after hid inf the body in the brush fled from th:t part ot Missouri and went to the haiseof Mr. Peter Ross, his brother-in-law, living near Mulberry, Craw ford county, Kan. and then in cotn pmy with Ross went to the house of arelative who l.ved north of Arcadia aiout three miles. Officer Pike and J II. Small traced him tothatvicin tv, and Tuesday while hunting for heir man, saw three men coming ward them on the opposite side ot 1 hedge. When the parties met at a jap in the hedge one of the men was nissing. This was sufficient to ceate tne impression that the miss nan was the one wanted. . H. Snail was the first to strike the trail aid in a few minutes nis man was in sght. Both men drew their revol ves and prepared for a desperate cmflict. But as Allen went to make asudden movement his pistol flew fom his hand, and in a moment vvas ir the hands ot Small. Then began a -ace tor lite. Small called on him tosurrender, but he ran the faster. F nding that the fugitive would es c:pe. Small then began to shoot, and stvertlv wounded him. Allen then sp-ang into Drywood creek and at tenpted to swim to the farther shore, bit received a fatal shot in the neck. Dath ensued immediately. Pike ard Small went to Fort Scott and ga-e themselves up, but Pike was refcased Small detained under sur veiance. An Old Slipper. S.turday morning B. S. M. Clack shoved a Mail representative a rare specmen of antiquity. It was a weddng slipper, m its palmy days, morethan a century ago, and a curi osity ndeed in the shoe line. It has a whte satin upper, and fastened acros the top withR gold buckle. The ole is of light leather and runs "Vshape to the toe. The spur pieceof of wood, upon which the semieclipse heel, also of wood, sets firml extending to the length of abou three-quarters of an inch, and tapemgto the size, m circumference, of a ilver ten-cent piece. This old specir.en of ancient style is the proprty of Mrs. Tucker, who came to Xa ada last spiing from Pleasant Hill, antl was worn by her mother whtnshe stood at the hymenial altar in Xoth Carolina. That our readers I may have some idea as to th i this slipper. ,t is only necessary to say that Mrs. Tucker, whose mother wore it, ,s now 70 years old, and the youngest member ot a large family. She thinks the slippers were brought to this country from England by her father, who came from thit country a short time before his marriage to her mother. Nevada Mad. Bockville Globe. A number of young men and a few boys went into Mr. Pond's melon patch, one-half mile east of Apple ton City, last Sunday, and made a sneak on several melons. On Mon day Mr. Pond came into town and swore out warrants against a half dozen ot the older ones, who were tried and fined from $1 to $2 before Justice Sturtevant, and the younger ones were given a good moral lecture and dismissed, which will be a lesson to them and a warning to other young men and boys. Of course the melons were not ripe, but the dtod- erty was destroyed and this course was taken to prevent further distor tion. While two colored men, by the names ot Rev. Joe Cox and Alex Montgomery, were hauling a load ot hay near Appleton City several days ago, the team became frightened and ran away at a rapid rate of speed. 1 he wagon was overturned and the men caught beneath and dragged tor some distance. When found both men were in a critical condition. Cox's right ear was torn nearly from the head and hangs by a few shreds of flesh and muscles; his right jaw and neck were fearfully lacerated, and the left thumb broken. Montgomery's injuries were not so serious, however the small bone m his right leg was lractured with other slight injuries. At this writing both patties are in a fair way to recover notwithstanding the severity ot their hurts. Congressional Chances. Joplin Herald. The lines in the congressional can vass are gradually becoming more distinctly defined, and the opportu nities for a dark horse to enter the race successfully have quite disap peared. The choice will be from the three gentlemen, Stone. Parkinson and Gantt, and as the situation now appears to be, the opposition to Stone is so solid, and is being so thoroughly organized all over the district, that his defeat may be ex pected. The friends ot Mr. Stone claim for him a brilliancy of more than ordi nary luster that his record in congress excels that of the average congressman, and the like. This is a claim only. It would be difficult tor them to be sufficiently specific to make such a claim good. He has made two speeches one on the silver question, whice was very sen sible and very readable, and one on the labor question, which was only a bait for the labor vote. His insin cerity upon that subject was demon strated when he found it convenient to be absent when the vote was taken upon that question. Some of his votes have been right and some have placed him where he could not, if he would, secure any favors for some ot the largest and most im portant interests of his district. On the whole, 'his record in congress cannot be offered as a just claim tor further indulgence. His course with the mass of dem ocrats of his district has been such as to wholly alienate them from him. He has projected into almost every district a sentiment ot bossism and has constituted a sort of political regime to the . exclusion, in most cases, of the strong party men. It is the case elsewhere, as in Jasper county, that, if the party fails at the next election to not only its own former strength, but to increase its vote m a marked degree, the cause of such failure will be traceable directly to the interference and bad management of W. J. Stone. State Attorney General Boone ex presses an opinion to the ettect that "taxpaying citizens" includes all who pay taxes, whether men, women or minors. The names ot women and minors, if taxpayers, will, therefore, count for or 3gainst granting license to saloons. Walker Herald.
