Tho following from tho Jefferson City
correspondent Of the Kansas City Times, IL
q confused and obscure statement OF a trans
action which f. msdo as plain as q pike stat
by the recollection OF the party referred to
therein as thea administrator:
The Auditor seems to hare q somewhat COM
plieafea case for adjudication. 1t appears that
one So; wentworth, Of Lafayette county, was
the administrator Of the estate of one James
Marshall. who departed this life some time In
was not the administration, but he Deposited
with the State Treasurer, one hundred and sew
enty dohars, money belonging to the estate of
the name of Smith, Of baltimore, who does not
claim to be the administrator, or an heir, or lexa-
tee OF said estate, desires to draw the money that
mas been In the State Treasury for over ten
years
According to Mr. wentworth's recollec-
ton, one Smith sent to Mr.. Counsler, for
merly an attorney OF this city. a claim due
deceased, late OF the state OF Virginia, for
collection.
The laws Of Missouri required IN admin
istrator to be appointed here before suit
could lie maintained upon the claim. Ste.
phen G. Wentworth, being public admins
traitor at the time, was ordered by the
Probate Court to take charge Of said estate.
after which suit was instituted by Mr..
Counsler, the attorney, and the net pro-
reeds of the claim went into the hands OF
Wentworth, as public administrator. There
being no call for tho mon'y by any one
entitled to receive and receipt for
the same, IL was, by an order Of the Probate
Court or Lafayette county, paid into the
treasury of the State Of Missouri. in the
year 1869, whence, OF course, 1. can be drawn
by the legal representatives OF Marshall on
proof Of their clear legal title to the same.

Advertisements

To advertise il to inform the pnblic that you
are ready for business. snd have something to
dispose Of, either In waf of serviccs or stock. A
sign over the door, or across the facs Of n build
ing, may catch the eye of q few psssers-by, but
q weli-displayed notice in q live paper Is read by
thousands. Some men while saving ten dollars
by not advertising lose hundreds in the lack of
custom. The live business man is always found
in print. He deals with the people, and knows
that the best way to reach them is through the
columns Of the local psper. He never lscks GUS
toners, but IL kept busy waiting upon those who
have read of his stock and who have come to ex-
anime or buy. We favor judicious advertising.
A man may ~exsggerate his stock, and thereby
disgust those who visit him. Another may ex-
pend too much money ON . single effort, and fail
In Its object. The best way to advertise Is, first:
have something tn dispose Of worth the price ron

THE RIVER.

The Missouri river. after u steady and per-
sistent swell ofmore than six weeks, which
at one time threatened to burst and scatter
Its moist contents all over our heighbors in
the Ray bottom and stick their farming
operations in the mud, has given up the
swell business, and is now gradually retiring
to less ~pretentious dimensions. Up above
here the rise is reported in the Kansas City
papers to have inflicted great damage. AT
this point it fell two feet short orthe damag-
ing flood Of sixty seven, and so Tar as We
have heard everything and everybody is safe
and unharmed. The fall up, to this time, is
about three feet. The channel seems to be
one of those things (which no steamboat
fellow can't find out'' just at the present,
and the navigation is consequently obstruct-
ed. and will so remain for a few days, or
until the sand washes out. The Alice, Capt.
Massey, went up on Thursday and came
down again Friday. The st. Luke, Capt.
Rider. went up Monday, and came dow
Yesterday.

The Missouri River.

The present rise in the Missouri river will leave
many changes behind it. Says the Kansas City
journal, for twenty-fuur years no such volume
of water has filed its channel or overlooked its
banks. The flood of 1874 wrecked The hopes of
many river towns and changed materially the bed
of the river in places. Large districts of bottom
land Were engulphed and the course of the river
was in many places changed to where forests
grew before. From Omaha to the mouth of the
Kansas, the changes were remarkable. What
has been IN nature is Away possible-and popu-
lous towns are now washed by the current of the
mighty river whose sites We're once far inland.
The effects Of the flood upon its subsidence is a
matter. of great interest to the people ofthe valley.

sALUBRIrY OF

The health of Lexington and vicinity. and
so tar as we are advised, of the whole of La
fayette county, never was better than 1t is at
this time. The citizens Of Colorado insist that
they establish g%raveyards in that salubrious
mountain region only out Of courtesy to the
strangers who visit them. The people of
Lexington can't go quite SO far as that, be-
cause there has been one burial of a citizen
in our cemetery in the last three weeks, AMI
only one. For a city Of 5000 people, such 4
meagre mortality list shows either a salu-
brious country, a skillful faculty, or q mighty
poor time for dying.
