N. Cross. The I.kim ;i:if thinks tli:it friend Cross is mistaken in some ot his ideas about what is Democracy. There is to-da- y in the Democratic party a great differ- ence of opinion on the coinage ques- tion as well as on some other matters or national importance. There are good and true Democrats in the party The State Committee. From ttie EUberry (Ho.) News- - TheAVtw wants to be understood at the start as favoring the restora- tion of the silver dollar ,in other words of placing silver and gold on an exact equality and giving both metals free access to the mints of the country at the present coinage ratio of 16 to 1. It cannot, however, be induced to join the present tirade against the Democratic State Committee for re- fusing, at its recent meeting in St. Louis, to call a State Convention for the consideration of the financial question. The committee at that time had no right to call such a convention. To have done so would bave been not on 4AO6OWTEI.Y PURE WENT A FISHING. Let Us Pull Together. From the Sbelblna (Ho.) Democrat. While the Illinois convention de- clared for unlimited silver coinage at 16 to 1, Nick Perrin, of Belleville, de- clared in a speech which seemed to command the respect of the most in- telligent persons there, that: "A ratio of 16 to 1 is not an irre- vocable article of faith, but a rallying point, selected to give definiteness to the general policy of restoring silver to its place as money." Now, on such a platform there would be little division in the Demo- cratic party. Most of them believe in bimetallism. The great trouble is the ratio. Very many good Democrats do not believe that without an interna- tional agreement bimetallism can be maintained at 16 to 1. They believe that an attempt to coin by our mints all the silver offered, into dollars of the present weight, without reducing the size of the gold dollar, would re- sult in silver monometallism, and this they do not want. They prefer to I4wa Ulajiieg bave rather than fly to others they knohnot of. ly unprecedented, bnt unwise. What excuse could the committee have given for calling such a conven tion? Often a noisy clamor does not represent the people. There is no question about Missouri's position on the silver question, but there is a right way and a wrong way of pro ceeding in such matters. ti.4. tha Kewa understands ?t the com large number of other country news papers in Missouri, is softening down on the financial question as the fol lowing extract from a long editorial indicates: Last Saturday the St. Louis .('"'''" I'3' " sensible editorial, in which it assumed that the movement for free coinage at 16 to 1 was in real ity far more a temand for free silver than for the old ratio.

Above all else noes it be- lieve in the absolute necessity of par- ty unity in order to insure success. There can bo no doubt as to where the great majority of Missouri Demo crats stand on ';he question of silver coinage. Our party's position is so well known, ar-- has been so clearly defined in the past, that there is no langer of it being misinterpreted. In our humble opinion the cause of free oinage would be advanced by the holding of a State Convention, pro- - ided said convention was the result f a unanimous call, which would in sure absolute harmony. But we can but doubt the result of such a meeting onvened by irregular methods. ranting that the Central Committee acted unwisely and dictatorial in re fusing to call a convention, the fact remains that nothing will be gained by pursuing a linn of policy which must inevitably lead to strife and dissention within the party ranks. Committee bossism is an evil which should not be tolerated. But it is no more of an evil than the bossism sought to be estab- lished by newspapers which indulge n abuse of all. who do not agree with them. for two hostile factionu in the Democ- racy of Missouri. We cannot afford to do campaign work for the opposi- tion. The Republican party in this State is ro longer an infant in swaddling clcthes, dependent for ei- - stence on tederal patronage. It is amply able to take care of itself with out our assistance. Instead of fur- nishing ammunition to the enemy, let us strive, in a spirit of mutual con- - session, to heal tne Dreecnes in our ranks and prepare the way for a glo rious victory in 1S96.

Tullocli, proprietor of the Mis- souri Valley Bridge and Iron Works, of Leavenworth, Kan., who has the contract for building the steel bridge across the Missouri River at this place, arrived here to-da- y, accompanied by his superintendent, M. A. Waldo, of Leavenworth, who will have imme diate chart-- of the work. Mr. Tul- - lock says that he will commence oper ations on the middle pier of the bridge first. He has 100,000 feet of lumber and piling on the road here now, and construction barges are expected from St. Louis Alot of macbin ery is also coming down the river by barge from Leavenworth, Kan. The river is a l.ttle high yet for the work on the pier, but it has been falling for the last t'A enty-fou- r hours, and Mr, Tullock does not anticipate any delay whatever from that source. The work will be pushed to the utmost, as the contract calls for the completion of the bridge by March 1, 1896.

Referring to Foster, he said if be ever learned anything from him he learned it from bis feet, and not from bis bead. The platform was presented by the committee, and it was decided to vote on each plank separately. First and second planks, declaring for Prohi- bition, and woman's suffrage, were adopted.

John Richards of Hillsboro offered as a substitute for the Government national bank system, that the Gov- ernment start banks and loan the peo- ple money on products, goods and land. A. B.

Man With a Red Nose Will Not be Fa miliar With Children. It was on a Sixth avenue elevated train going uptown, says the Detroit Free Press. A man with a red nose which terminated in a knob got on at Franklin street and sat down beside a little girl about 5 years of age, who was accompanied by a brother of 12. She was a sharp-eye- d, handsome child, and after a few minutes the red- - nosed man felt bis heart warm up to her and he said: Well, little girl, are yon going somewhere?" She looked up, but made no answer, and after a minute he smiled more blandly and continued: You are an awfully nice little girl, and I wish I had some candy for you. Is that your brother?" "Say, mister!" called the boy as he leaned forward, "you don't know much about children, do you?" "Yes, I know all about 'em." "Well, then, you can take your chances wilbjher," unancesT wnai cnancesf", "Why, if you get her to talking she'll up'n ask you all about that nose your'n, and if you don't want to give it away you'd better keep still." Six passengers on the opposite seat began to grin at once, and the man with the nose got up and solemnly and stiffly marched up the aisle and opened the door and dropped into a seat in the next car. He thought be knew all about children, but that boy had given bim a pointer never to be forgotten. In Tour Blood Is the cause of that tired, languid feeling which afflicts you at this sea- son.

A Song of Guile. From the St. Lonla Republic. An of Missouri" has hi the current Arena an article on "Bland and a New Party," in which he lectures Mr. Bland for not leaving the Democratic organization. This writer wants a new party whose first precept shall be free coinage at 15i to 1, a ratio he calls the natural one. Next eomes removal or any om cial or judge at any time by popular vote. Then he would have a demand for a revised system of government under which every class, calling and trade will be represented in propor tion to its numbers. He does not tell whom he would suggest as the leaders of his new party and the managers of its organization We suppose he is thinking of Stand ard Oil Sibley, Silver Mine Stewart and the other disinterested patriots who have been rooting at Memphis for a new party. He may also have in mind a few specimens from the late PopuliBt State administrations in Kan sas and Colorado. Mr. Bland will hardly listen to i siren's call which bas about it so much of the trickster's twang. A Wearisome Subject. From the Cincinnati Tribune.

OA. Mrs. Eagleton Recovers Damages to the Amount of S1450 Against Messrs.Kabrich and Longley The case of Mary F. Eagleton vs. Geo. Kabrich and C. C. Longley has aroused much interest. An outline of the case is as follows: In January, 1894, when Mr. Kabricb was in the dry goods business in this city, Mrs. Eagleton, who bad been in the habit of running an account at the store for years, doing considerable trading there, owed a bill of $35 there for dry goods. Mr. Eagleton and wife then lived on the Crawford farm in this county. Times were hard and their house burned down and their goods, etc., were attached. There was some insurance on the household goods, but it took all of that to relieve the attachments and Mrs. Eagleton left the debt at Ka-bric- store still unpaid. mrs. r.agieton.Decommg aware mat she was likely to be arrested, attempt- ed to flee. She was overtaken at Ben- ton City by Constable J.T.Bunton and C. Longley, arrested and brought back here and placed in jail. The sheriff becoming aware that the woman was in a delicate condition,re-move- d her to the Leake hotel, where locked up in one of the rooms she gave birth to a child. Upon the birth of the child Mr. Ka brich withdrew the charge of obtain- ing money under false pretenses and she was released. Afterward she and her family removed to St.Louis, where they now reside, and soon afterward brought suit against Messrs. Kabrich and Longley in the sum of 95,000 dam- ages for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. The trial lasted over two days. The jury went out Thursday at eight o'clock and a little before 11 o'clock, they returned with their verdict. The jury was composed of the fol lowing gentlemen;.-- - A: S. Carroll, W. II. Wakefield, G. T. Bdndurant, Ed- ward Atchison, Wm. Pike, J. S. Mus ter, Wm. Vivion, Wm. Rowland, F. W. Wisdom, I. J. Vanlandingham, R. S. MeClure and E. F. Smith. A.S.Carroll was foreman of the jury. The attorneys for the defendant were W. W. Fry, L. P. Crigler and Mr. Murphy; for the plaintiff George Robertson and E. S. Gantt. Following is the report and verdict of the jury: And now on this day, June 13, 1985, come the parties with their attorneys and como also again the jury hereto- - lore euipiiiuiciieu in mis cause, auu thereupon said jury retires to its room to consider of their verdict and after- ward returned into Court hero the following verdict, to:wit: We, the jury, find for the plaintiff against both ot tne aetenuants ana we assess tier damages at the sum of fourteen hun- dred and fifty dollars. A. s. Carroll, Foreman. It is therefore considered, ordered, and adjudged by the .Court that plain- tiff have and recover of and from said defendants the sum of fourteen hun- dred and fifty dollars for her damages, found as aforesaid, as well her costs and charges herein laid out and ex- pended and that execution issue therefor. On to Mexico, Mo., Again. From Colman's Rnrai World- - Our friends up at Mexico, Mo., have organized a new Fair Association, and will have a five days' meeting, begin ning July 30, over the famous kite mile track horsemen say the best in the world. About $7,000 in stock in the new association was taken by the enterprising business men of that live town in less than two days, which shows that Mexico is still alive in the matter of her borse interests. The step that Mexico bas taken is encour aging, and the Rural World hopes to see Louisiana and Moberly line up on each side of their enterprising neigh bor. Well patronized meetings can be held at all these places, which, in connection with Roodhouse, 111., would form a convenient circuit. The stockholders of the Mexico As sociation elected the following direc- tors: Sam B. Cook, W. J. Botts, Jas. T. Johnson, E. B. Norris, Chas. W, Lewis, R. R. Buckner, J. E. Martin. The directors elected the following officers: S. B. Cook, President; W J. Botts, Vice-Preside- Maj. II. A. Ricketts, Cashier Southern Bank, Treasurer; J. A. Glandon, Secretary; B. B. Runkle, Assistant Secretary. It was decided to open a $1,000 stake for saddle horses, which is a long stride in advance of anything yet at tempted in this line. Mr. C. F. Clark last year gave the Fair at Mexico an $800 stake for saddlers, and it brought together the best in the world. Now the Mexico Association has decided to go $200 better than last year. This is a step in the right direction. The Rural World admires the pluck of its Mexico friends. They don't believe in going backward. We expect toee the best on earth at Mexico this year; Our Kentucky friends are 'hereby no tified that it is the largest, premium ever offered for saddle horses, and that they must begin to put their good ones in shape if they expect to com pete successfully with Missouri.

Methinks the report got mixed some- what. If it had been in Audrain Coun- ty the shouting would have been done by the other party I know. "They forced him to answer," but if that does not serve the purpose you may look out for another report saying "Mr. Bryan threatens to leave the Democratic party." Mr. Bryan's posi- tion noon this questiflttia no.. news to Audrain Democrats. He made the same statement here in March as you might have known and it was not forced from him either. Why attempt to make capital out of this, for cer- tainly, according to the Cleveland creed, he has committed no breach of faith. Did not Mr. Cleveland set the pace when he positively refused to register or vote in New York last year when the best Democrats in the party were beseeching him to help save the party from defeat? He was in the state at the time, too, and could have helped his party easily if he had any interest in the party. Did not the great convention of gold bugs at Ft. Worth a few weeks since intimate in no uncertain language that they would ne'er support a free silver man? Till then I had hoped the breach would be closed and the party become united up on this question. But after the radical declarations of that convention sanc tioned by the utterances of Mr.Carlisle, know and every other thinking man knows, that it is utter folly to talk of om promise. There are are not ten Cleveland Democrats in Mexico or Audrain County, for that matter, who would vote for a free silver nominee, and there are not a dozen free silver men who have clear convictions upon this question who would support a gold standard nominee or even a doubtful man. What is the use of concealing these facta longer? Why not come out in the bright light of day and call things by their right names? Mr. Bryan will never bolt the Demo cratic ticket. You need have no fears on that score. The other fellows are imply hunting np excuses for jump ing the fence, for that is their fate as sure as there is a heaven above. They could not (and they dare not say so) vote a free silver ticket without stul tifying their consciences if they be lieve half what they say. I have been fighting the Republican party on its financial policy of aggregation ma centralization for twenty-fiv- e years and shall I now say to Mr. Cleveland, head us for John Sherman's camp and let us bow before the golden calf and repent in sack cloth and ashes? For lo, we have been wrong these many years and the Republican party has been right. AH the protests and denunciations in Democratic platforms were gross misrepresentations, were made without shadow of foundation, were conceived in wrong and brought forth in iniquity. Nay, verily, there are many men who are afraid to ex press their convictions on account of business relations and for other rea sons. There are several who expect to jump into the current as soon as it gets fairly started and say, "why, boys, have been with you all the time.' There are only a few whose minds are not made up. The discussions of the silver question are practically ended. The time has come for action. Our friend, Tom Buckner, with others of Kansas City, have formed a gold club with the declared intention of organiz ing the whole State. Will Mexico and Audrain County stand still? I have been told that I must keep quiet be cause I am a Oreenbacker. I don't propose to be ostracised by those who are trying to uphold John Sherman's principles. The principles I contend for were adopted by the Democratic party thirteen years ago and I have "voted 'er straight" ever since, but this is no personal . matter and why not meet argument with argument. The writer who stoops to personali ties thereby admits the weakness of his cause. J. N. Cross, State Democratic Convention. From tbe St . Louis Chronicle . Since the meeting of the State Com mittee, June 1, not one formal demand for a convention has been made to the State Democratic Committee by county committee. Prior to June I, 11 requests wer filed with Chairman Maffitt, but since the committee of the 114 counties have maintained a silence that has been damaging to the silver cause. Chairman Maffitt said Wednesday "If the people want a State silver convention they bave taken a strange way of securing it, for I have not re ceived a single request to that effect, "The only information I have had since our last meeting, June 1, of the sentiment of the people on the con vention question, I have derived from the newspapers. Up to Jane 1 we had received just 11 formal requests for a State silver convention."

Miss Maude Wise, of McCredie, is who perhaps believe in gold mono- metallism; there are others just as good and true who believe in silver monometallism, while a larjje propor- tion believe just as strong in bimetal- lism. Th memhers of the party in their regular conventions will discuss these in all their various phases and the platform will be the outcome of the combined wisdom of the party. On lliii jiliilorn) t rerii ifuul will sin ml. It is impossible, and al ways will he impossible, to have a platform which will meet with the full and hearty approval in every particu- lar of every member of the party that is, K the platform means anything at all. We must all make concessions. j Kvery individual Democrat must not think that he alone is right and all the rest are wrong and that the platform must be made for him. When the platform is made and the ticket nom- inated every Democrat will promptly acquiesce and rally around the stand- ard, then when the next convention comes and the platform is to be made bo will again try to have his ideas on the various public quest ions engrafted in the platform. It he is right he will eventually win. In the meantime, he must abide by lite majority voice of his party. The majority always has and alwaj s will rule in the grand old Democratic party. Some of our Dem- ocrats, like Mr. Cross, the I.KlxsK.R thinks, have too light an opinion of party ties. When the platform is made by the party in the regular con- vention every Democrat in Audrain county , every Democrat in Missouri and every Democrat in the Cnited States should stand firm, present a bold front to the enemy and work for the success of the party. Kvery Dem- ocrat who is y taking part in the discussions of this great question of finance should feel this way about the matter. Trite Democrats will do their discussing and disagreeing before the convention is called, the platform made and the ticket nominated. The I.i.ihiki: thinks it is not mistaken in its estimate of Democracy. Tut: man who has the glibbest tongue isn't fjpvays the man who knows the most.

(in.i:s Allison, who is in Mexico on a visit from New York City, says that "a majority of the stock in the silver mines is owned by Wall Street and when HO cents worth of silver is made a dollar that Wall Street will reap all the benefit."

Instead of the buzzing of Congressional bee it may be the whir ring of the wheels in bis head. The noiso is very similar. If Senator Dubois, of Idaho, carries out his threat of rending the riot act on the silver question to the National Republican League convention at Cleveland, a regular monkey and par rot time may be expected in that con vention, and afterwards in the entire Republican party. Tiih St. Louis Cliroiiicle says editor ially. Bryan and Bland are noncommittal as to their probablo course if the gold wing of the Democrats controls the National C on vent ion. If either wants the nomina tion of the new party he can have it. If not. Congressman Joseph Sibley will be the nominee.

There have been a number of petitions and com' plaints filed for and against the re moval of the Post Office, and the As sistant Postmaster General was about it until to-da- y when be received an astonishing dispatch from a promi nent citizen ot Columbia. This dis patch was from Mr. R. B. Price, said to be a near relative of a distinguished General of that name, who informs tbe Post Office Department that if the ColumbiaPost Office is removed to the proposed site it will completely ruin the Presbyterian Church next door. Mr. Jones does not believe that a de cently conducted Post Office should bave any bad effect upon a church and he is anxiously awaiting a reply to a request made by him of Mr.Price for an explanation.

It is told of the late Conductor Char- ley Johnson that a drunken man once got on bis train on the old North Mis- souri, and when Johnson asked for his fare, the fellow said: "How much is it?" "Where do you wish to go?" said Johnson. "To hell," said the fellow in a maudlin manner. "Get off atRen-Ic- k, then," aaid Uncle Charley.

The Crowd Had a Good Time and All the Fish They Wanted. From the Auxvaaee Review. On Thursday of last week, about the middle of tbe afternoon, some fisher- men assembled on the bank of the Auxvasse in the rear of Cope Nichol- son's farm. This is an Ideal place for a fishing party to camp. The fine blue grass, the tall elm and sycamore, the rippling water on the south and the bills on the north gave us a quiet-- , se- cluded resting place. A bull frog cent pool and the lonely mosquito sung the opening ode. This mosquito was not lonely song, however, and with his associates made the campers feel quite at home. The teams were soon secured and the wagons were unloaded in less time than it takes to tell it The fish- ing tackle was examined, the boohs all baited and eight or nine of the crew went up the creek to catch fish for supper. The. others stayed at camp to take care of the "snake med- icine" and .build a fire on which to prepare tbe evening meaL The fishing was good and the fisher- men were successful. Tom Harrison caught a half dozen fine perch and one good channel cat. Sterling Mar- tin caught buffalo and perch. The other fishers were equally as lucky and before sundown an abundance of the finny tribe had been secured. The boys had a splendid supper. The next day some parties came out from Mexico. Jim Johnson and Bob Buckner dared Cope Nicholson to go out on an old tree that hung over tbe creek. and set a drink ot water. Mr. Nicholson wanted a drink and be also wanted 92.60 that had been made up as a further Induce- ment to test his bravery. He pulled off his shoes and started out The limb was shaky and so was Mr. Nich- olson. The limb shook and Nicholson shook. Finally "kerblush" he went into the water. The water was deep and cold and Cope was wet'ern a drowned rat. Tha boys rushed to Cope's rescue and be was soon on dry land a wiser and wetter man. We recommend De Witt's Colio and Cholera Cure because we believe it la a safe and reliable remedy. It's good effects are shown at once in cases of Cholera Morbus and similar com plaints. Democrats of Callaway tor Limited Coinage. " From the Auxvasse (Mo.) Review. We believe the Democrats of Cal- laway are in favor of the free coinage of silver at 18 to 1 and limited only by the demands and needs of Ihe people. We believe that Callaway Democrats are in favor of every dollar having an equal purchasing power with every other dollar. We believe that Cal- laway Democrats are in favor of standing by both of tbe above prin ciples. Bimetallism and parity go hand in band. Gold monometallism or silver monometallism should bo avoided. We need both moneys and both should be coined free. All debts should be payable in either monoy and nothing short of a depreciated coin should limit the coinage of either gold or silver. When occasion demands its use, try De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. It is cooling to burns, stops pain Instant ly, cleanses, a perfect healer for scalds or skin eruptions. Always cures piles. Wooldridge & McArthur. Wheat Harvest in Missouri. Louisiana, Mo., June 12. Captain W. F. Allison, living near this city, commenced cutting wheat last Satur- day, June S. This is tbe earliest har vest for many years In Pike county. Clarksburu, Mo., June 11. The wheat harvest will begin this week. The yield will be better than expected and fine grain. Oats promises a fine crop. Corn in good condition.' The hay crop will be very poor; too dry in early spring. Potatoes promise an ezoellent yield. Apples will be a fine crop, and other fruits in abundance. A splendid rain fell last evening, which was badly needed. To the Public From tbe Centralis Courier. On returning to my home in Cen- tralism after an absence of several weeks, I found that the foul-mouth- slanderers and a certain dirty news- paper sheet bave busied themselves circulating infamous lies about me, and have gone so far as to drag before tbe public In connection with my own name, the name of a lady of Centralis whose character, so far as I know, la above reproach. I take this method of denouncing the tales as infamous lies and hereby give notice that I shall bold, the authors of them, and those wbo bave given circulation to them, to strict account. 3. W.

Don't place your handle bars too low or your saddle too high. Don't try to break world's records on the first day you ride. Don't worry about punctures. They come wheu least expected. Don't ride too near the curbstone. Your pedal will certainly collide. Don't "wabble." ' Don't ride "head down." Don't "coast" without a brake. Don't ride your sister's "bike." Don't swear by your cyclometer. Don't ride on the sidewalk. It may cost you $5. Don't try to pose. Bicycle riding is not a "cake walk."

The farmers of Wilson and, surrounding counties, where the ravages of chinch bugs have ruined many fields of wheat and corn, bave discovered that crude petroleum, which is so plentiful in the oil regions of Kansas, is sure death to these - pesta. The fanners scatter straw along their fields and saturate it with crude petroleum. When the bugs reach the straw and attempt to cross they die. Another method is to plow a furrow around the field and fill it with petroleum. As the crude oil is cheap it is not an expensive mode of treatment. The Anxvasse Review says: Dr. and Mrs. J. F.

Miss Nina also returned mittee represents the Democratic party of the state. In the regular line of its duties, it could not be expected to call a convention when there was no "regular" occasion for such action. It had no right to "suppose" or 'guess" that the Democracy of the state wanted a convention. It had not been so officially notified. The A'eu's believes that the demand for a convention is almost universal, but it also believes, as a Democratic newspaper, that it should be secured in a regular way. ABUSE OF ORCHARDS. Agricultural Department Will Issue a Valuable Paper. Washington, June 12. Common abuse of orchard tracts is pointed out in a statement to be issued by the ag- ricultural department. This abuse is the custom which prevails generally of counting the orchard as a field of the farm, and calling upon it for its crop of corn, oats, wheat, grass and hay in rotation with the other fields. According to the official warning nothing could be devised as more likely to permanently injure a grow ing or fruitening orchard than such a policy. When the trees bave reached a fruitening age no other crop should be grown in the orchard,though while it is young and of fruit it may be wise to grow other crops than trees, though there must be a double fertilizing, one for the devel opment of the trees and the other for the incidental crop. The cultivation and fertilization should be as regular and constant as if a crop were an' nually removed. This plan, it is point' ed out, would revolutionize orchard culture in many sections, and make marrjr seemingly useless orchards prof- - THE GREAT MYSTERY.

TheAVtw wants to be understoodat the start as favoring the restora-tion of the silver dollar ,in other wordsof placing silver and gold on an exactequality and giving both metals freeaccess to the mints of the country atthe present coinage ratio of 16 to 1.

It cannot, however, be induced tojoin the present tirade against theDemocratic State Committee for re-fusing, at its recent meeting in St.Louis, to call a State Convention forthe consideration of the financialquestion.

Let Us Pull Together.From the Sbelblna (Ho.) Democrat.

While the Illinois convention de-clared for unlimited silver coinage at16 to 1, Nick Perrin, of Belleville, de-clared in a speech which seemed tocommand the respect of the most in-telligent persons there, that:

"A ratio of 16 to 1 is not an irre-vocable article of faith, but a rallyingpoint, selected to give definiteness tothe general policy of restoring silverto its place as money."

Now, on such a platform therewould be little division in the Demo-cratic party. Most of them believe inbimetallism. The great trouble is theratio. Very many good Democrats donot believe that without an interna-tional agreement bimetallism can bemaintained at 16 to 1. They believethat an attempt to coin by our mintsall the silver offered, into dollars ofthe present weight, without reducingthe size of the gold dollar, would re-

sult in silver monometallism, and thisthey do not want. They prefer to

There can bo no doubt as to wherethe great majority of Missouri Democrats stand on ';he question of silvercoinage. Our party's position is sowell known, ar-- has been so clearlydefined in the past, that there is nolanger of it being misinterpreted.

GETS A VALUABLE POINTER.

Man With a Red Nose Will Not be Familiar With Children.

It was on a Sixth avenue elevatedtrain going uptown, says the DetroitFree Press. A man with a red nosewhich terminated in a knob got on atFranklin street and sat down beside alittle girl about 5 years of age, whowas accompanied by a brother of 12.She was a sharp-eye- d, handsomechild, and after a few minutes the red- -

nosed man felt bis heart warm up toher and he said:

Well, little girl, are yon goingsomewhere?"

She looked up, but made no answer,and after a minute he smiled moreblandly and continued:

You are an awfully nice little girl,and I wish I had some candy for you.Is that your brother?"

"Say, mister!" called the boy as heleaned forward, "you don't knowmuch about children, do you?"

"Yes, I know all about 'em.""Well, then, you can take your

chances wilbjher,"unancesT wnai cnancesf",

"Why, if you get her to talkingshe'll up'n ask you all about that nose

your'n, and if you don't want togive it away you'd better keep still."

Six passengers on the opposite seatbegan to grin at once, and the manwith the nose got up and solemnlyand stiffly marched up the aisle andopened the door and dropped into aseat in the next car. He thought beknew all about children, but that boyhad given bim a pointer never to beforgotten.

A Song of Guile.From the St. Lonla Republic.

An of Missouri" hashi the current Arena an article on"Bland and a New Party," in which helectures Mr. Bland for not leaving theDemocratic organization.

This writer wants a new party whosefirst precept shall be free coinage at15i to 1, a ratio he calls the naturalone. Next eomes removal or any omcial or judge at any time by popularvote. Then he would have a demandfor a revised system of governmentunder which every class, calling andtrade will be represented in proportion to its numbers.

He does not tell whom he wouldsuggest as the leaders of his new partyand the managers of its organizationWe suppose he is thinking of Standard Oil Sibley, Silver Mine Stewartand the other disinterested patriotswho have been rooting at Memphisfor a new party. He may also havein mind a few specimens from the latePopuliBt State administrations in Kansas and Colorado.

Mr. Bland will hardly listen to isiren's call which bas about it so muchof the trickster's twang.

Mrs. Eagleton Recovers Damages tothe Amount of S1450 Against

Messrs.Kabrich and Longley

The case of Mary F. Eagleton vs.Geo. Kabrich and C. C. Longley hasaroused much interest. An outline ofthe case is as follows:

In January, 1894, when Mr. Kabricbwas in the dry goods business in thiscity, Mrs. Eagleton, who bad been inthe habit of running an account at thestore for years, doing considerabletrading there, owed a bill of $35 therefor dry goods. Mr. Eagleton and wifethen lived on the Crawford farm inthis county. Times were hard and theirhouse burned down and their goods,etc., were attached.

There was some insurance on thehousehold goods, but it took all ofthat to relieve the attachments andMrs. Eagleton left the debt at Ka-bric-

store still unpaid.mrs. r.agieton.Decommg aware mat

she was likely to be arrested,attempt-ed to flee. She was overtaken at Ben-ton City by Constable J.T.Bunton and

C. Longley, arrested and broughtback here and placed in jail.

The sheriff becoming aware that thewoman was in a delicate condition,re-move- d

her to the Leake hotel, wherelocked up in one of the rooms she gavebirth to a child.

Upon the birth of the child Mr. Kabrich withdrew the charge of obtain-ing money under false pretenses andshe was released. Afterward she andher family removed to St.Louis, wherethey now reside, and soon afterwardbrought suit against Messrs. Kabrichand Longley in the sum of 95,000 dam-ages for malicious prosecution andfalse imprisonment.

The trial lasted over two days. Thejury went out Thursday at eighto'clock and a little before 11 o'clock,they returned with their verdict.

The jury was composed of the following gentlemen;.-- - A: S. Carroll, W.II. Wakefield, G. T. Bdndurant, Ed-

ward Atchison, Wm. Pike, J. S. Muster, Wm. Vivion, Wm. Rowland, F.W. Wisdom, I. J. Vanlandingham, R.S. MeClure and E. F. Smith.

On to Mexico, Mo., Again.From Colman's Rnrai World- -

Our friends up at Mexico, Mo., haveorganized a new Fair Association, andwill have a five days' meeting, beginning July 30, over the famous kitemile track horsemen say the best inthe world. About $7,000 in stock inthe new association was taken by theenterprising business men of that livetown in less than two days, whichshows that Mexico is still alive in thematter of her borse interests. Thestep that Mexico bas taken is encouraging, and the Rural World hopes tosee Louisiana and Moberly line up oneach side of their enterprising neighbor. Well patronized meetings canbe held at all these places, which, inconnection with Roodhouse, 111., wouldform a convenient circuit.

The stockholders of the Mexico Association elected the following direc-tors: Sam B. Cook, W. J. Botts, Jas.T. Johnson, E. B. Norris, Chas. W,Lewis, R. R. Buckner, J. E. Martin.

The directors elected the followingofficers: S. B. Cook, President; WJ. Botts, Vice-Preside- Maj. II. A.Ricketts, Cashier Southern Bank,Treasurer; J. A. Glandon, Secretary;B. B. Runkle, Assistant Secretary.

It was decided to open a $1,000 stakefor saddle horses, which is a longstride in advance of anything yet attempted in this line. Mr. C. F. Clarklast year gave the Fair at Mexico an$800 stake for saddlers, and it broughttogether the best in the world. Nowthe Mexico Association has decidedto go $200 better than last year. Thisis a step in the right direction. TheRural World admires the pluck of itsMexico friends. They don't believein going backward. We expect toeethe best on earth at Mexico this year;Our Kentucky friends are 'hereby notified that it is the largest, premiumever offered for saddle horses, andthat they must begin to put their goodones in shape if they expect to compete successfully with Missouri.

support the nominee of the party ifnominated upon a gold standard platform and that after trying to evade adecisive answer he said, "I will not ifI die in my tracks," and that the goldmen gave a great shout (because oftheir supposed victory, I suppose) andthat the silver men had nothing to say.Methinks the report got mixed some-what. If it had been in Audrain Coun-ty the shouting would have been doneby the other party I know. "Theyforced him to answer," but if thatdoes not serve the purpose you maylook out for another report saying"Mr. Bryan threatens to leave theDemocratic party." Mr. Bryan's posi-tion noon this questiflttia no.. news toAudrain Democrats. He made thesame statement here in March as youmight have known and it was notforced from him either. Why attemptto make capital out of this, for cer-tainly, according to the Clevelandcreed, he has committed no breach offaith. Did not Mr. Cleveland set thepace when he positively refused toregister or vote in New York last yearwhen the best Democrats in the partywere beseeching him to help save theparty from defeat? He was in thestate at the time, too, and could havehelped his party easily if he had anyinterest in the party. Did not thegreat convention of gold bugs at Ft.Worth a few weeks since intimate inno uncertain language that they wouldne'er support a free silver man? Tillthen I had hoped the breach would beclosed and the party become united upon this question. But after the radicaldeclarations of that convention sanctioned by the utterances of Mr.Carlisle,

know and every other thinking manknows, that it is utter folly to talk of

om promise. There are are not tenCleveland Democrats in Mexico orAudrain County, for that matter, whowould vote for a free silver nominee,and there are not a dozen free silvermen who have clear convictions uponthis question who would support agold standard nominee or even adoubtful man. What is the use ofconcealing these facta longer? Whynot come out in the bright light of dayand call things by their right names?Mr. Bryan will never bolt the Democratic ticket. You need have no fearson that score. The other fellows areimply hunting np excuses for jump

ing the fence, for that is their fate assure as there is a heaven above. Theycould not (and they dare not say so)vote a free silver ticket without stultifying their consciences if they believe half what they say. I have beenfighting the Republican party on itsfinancial policy of aggregation macentralization for twenty-fiv- e yearsand shall I now say to Mr. Cleveland,

head us for John Sherman's campand let us bow before the golden calfand repent in sack cloth and ashes?For lo, we have been wrong thesemany years and the Republican partyhas been right. AH the protests anddenunciations in Democratic platformswere gross misrepresentations, weremade without shadow of foundation,were conceived in wrong and broughtforth in iniquity. Nay, verily, thereare many men who are afraid to express their convictions on account ofbusiness relations and for other reasons. There are several who expectto jump into the current as soon as itgets fairly started and say, "why, boys,

have been with you all the time.'There are only a few whose minds arenot made up. The discussions of thesilver question are practically ended.The time has come for action. Ourfriend, Tom Buckner, with others ofKansas City, have formed a gold clubwith the declared intention of organizing the whole State. Will Mexico andAudrain County stand still? I havebeen told that I must keep quiet because I am a Oreenbacker. I don'tpropose to be ostracised by those whoare trying to uphold John Sherman'sprinciples. The principles I contendfor were adopted by the Democraticparty thirteen years ago and I have"voted 'er straight" ever since, butthis is no personal . matter and whynot meet argument with argument.The writer who stoops to personalities thereby admits the weakness ofhis cause.

State Democratic Convention.From tbe St . Louis Chronicle .

Since the meeting of the State Committee, June 1, not one formal demandfor a convention has been made to theState Democratic Committee bycounty committee.

Prior to June I, 11 requests werfiled with Chairman Maffitt, but sincethe committee of the 114 counties havemaintained a silence that has beendamaging to the silver cause.

Chairman Maffitt said Wednesday"If the people want a State silver

convention they bave taken a strangeway of securing it, for I have not received a single request to that effect,

"The only information I have hadsince our last meeting, June 1, of thesentiment of the people on the convention question, I have derived fromthe newspapers. Up to Jane 1 we hadreceived just 11 formal requests for aState silver convention."

Kvery individual Democrat must notthink that he alone is right and all therest are wrong and that the platformmust be made for him. When theplatform is made and the ticket nom-

The Crowd Had a Good Time and Allthe Fish They Wanted.

From the Auxvaaee Review.On Thursday of last week, about the

middle of tbe afternoon, some fisher-men assembled on the bank of theAuxvasse in the rear of Cope Nichol-son's farm. This is an Ideal place fora fishing party to camp. The fine bluegrass, the tall elm and sycamore, therippling water on the south and thebills on the north gave us a quiet--, se-

cluded resting place. A bull frog

cent pool and the lonely mosquitosung the opening ode. This mosquitowas not lonely song, however, andwith his associates made the campersfeel quite at home.

The teams were soon secured andthe wagons were unloaded in lesstime than it takes to tell it The fish-

ing tackle was examined, the boohsall baited and eight or nine of thecrew went up the creek to catch fishfor supper. The. others stayed atcamp to take care of the "snake med-icine" and .build a fire on which toprepare tbe evening meaL

The fishing was good and the fisher-men were successful. Tom Harrisoncaught a half dozen fine perch andone good channel cat. Sterling Mar-

tin caught buffalo and perch. Theother fishers were equally as luckyand before sundown an abundance ofthe finny tribe had been secured. Theboys had a splendid supper.

The next day some parties cameout from Mexico. Jim Johnson andBob Buckner dared Cope Nicholsonto go out on an old tree that hungover tbe creek. and set a drink otwater. Mr. Nicholson wanted a drinkand be also wanted 92.60 that hadbeen made up as a further Induce-ment to test his bravery. He pulledoff his shoes and started out Thelimb was shaky and so was Mr. Nich-

olson. The limb shook and Nicholsonshook. Finally "kerblush" he wentinto the water. The water was deepand cold and Cope was wet'ern adrowned rat. Tha boys rushed toCope's rescue and be was soon on dryland a wiser and wetter man.

Democrats of Callaway tor LimitedCoinage. "

From the Auxvasse (Mo.) Review.We believe the Democrats of Cal-

laway are in favor of the free coinageof silver at 18 to 1 and limited only bythe demands and needs of Ihe people.We believe that Callaway Democratsare in favor of every dollar having anequal purchasing power with everyother dollar. We believe that Cal-

laway Democrats are in favor ofstanding by both of tbe above principles. Bimetallism and parity gohand in band. Gold monometallismor silver monometallism should boavoided. We need both moneys andboth should be coined free. All debtsshould be payable in either monoyand nothing short of a depreciatedcoin should limit the coinage of eithergold or silver.

When occasion demands its use,try De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. Itis cooling to burns, stops pain Instantly, cleanses, a perfect healer forscalds or skin eruptions. Alwayscures piles. Wooldridge & McArthur.

ABUSE OF ORCHARDS.

Agricultural Department Will Issue aValuable Paper.

Washington, June 12. Commonabuse of orchard tracts is pointed outin a statement to be issued by the ag-ricultural department. This abuse isthe custom which prevails generallyof counting the orchard as a field ofthe farm, and calling upon it for itscrop of corn, oats, wheat, grass andhay in rotation with the other fields.According to the official warningnothing could be devised as morelikely to permanently injure a growing or fruitening orchard than such apolicy. When the trees bave reacheda fruitening age no other crop shouldbe grown in the orchard,though whileit is young and of fruitit may be wise to grow other cropsthan trees, though there must be adouble fertilizing, one for the development of the trees and the other forthe incidental crop. The cultivationand fertilization should be as regularand constant as if a crop were an'nually removed. This plan, it is point'ed out, would revolutionize orchardculture in many sections, and makemarrjr seemingly useless orchards prof- -
