JUDGE BELLS APPEAL TO DEMO.
GRATIS.

The Democratic party Is jubilant to-
day, but not quite 80 jubilant as 1t was
at Galveston aweek ago. The seeds OF
disappointment to many We're sown
there, and when the constitution is
defeated, us ] think 1t will be, the
Democratic party will feel u little sick
at the stomach, aud when the great
national Presidential election comes,
and the Republican party carry 1t, AS
they will, the Democratic party will be
little sicker. lnlclosing my speech,
will say to all Democrats that, though
we are black-and-tan convention, we
invite them to come forward in Februa-
ny and help us defeat this constitution
IA constitution most damnable.
We wonder il Bell was really gush-
ing for the benefit of the "black-and-
tanp assemblage he was addressing at
Houston, or did he expect that the
Democracy of Texas would go over to
Davis, and Chambers, and Norton and
Tracy, and thus cut their political
throdts in lamb.like simplicity?
We will just whisper in Mr.. Bells
ear that this constitution most dam
nable" will be adopted by the people
of this State next month, and that if
its "damning" provisions are so very
abhorrent to him, he can emigrate to
Siberia or South Carolina, where he
will find more congenial rule. This
invitation to Democrats to Eetray
and subvert their party, and write
themselves down apostates and fools
is decidedly refreshing. ..,

The charge of Judge Hare in the
Dill and Rice murder case was an ex-
haustive and able one, and 1t affords to
the mind of the careful legal reader
the highest evidence of this distin.

visitor to the court room we have OBJ

which the Judge presides, and the
promptness and efficiency with which

The early history of Cooper county
IL full of interest and romance, About
the year 1890 there were but few faml-
lies living on the south side Of the
river The most prominent were by
the name Of Cole, who had fort about
two miles below Boonville, into which
they retreated when In danger from
Indians. Such n thing rs n wedding
was "a rare occurrence, M the popnla-
ton was very scattered, and II was IN
convenient TO assemble, rs people lived
10 far from each other. About this
time the Cole family was Invited TO at
tend a wedding In CoOper's Bottom,
over the river In Howard County, and
about eight miles of. The elder Cole,
his wife and all OF the children, except
boy named Sam, about sixteen years
old, got ready 10 attend the wedding,
and for that purpose all the clothes be-
longing TO the family were biought
into requIsitlon. They started early
In the evening, as they had to travel a
considerable distance, and cross the
Missouri river and left Sam by him
self, at home. Toward evening, he
commenced to muse on the subject Of
the wedding, and his curiosity be-
came intensely excited to witness
the event But there was no
horse TO ride, the river was to
cross, and II was too late to cross by
the ferry. Besides, all the clothes were
gone Qt was in the summer time), and
Sans only garment was tow shirt
fortunately, just as the sun was going
down, Sam espled his fathers pet bull
slowly making his way up to the fort,
and the idea occurred to him, here was
n way TO get TO the wedding. lie i'm
mediately impr0vised bride of hick-
DRY bark, put IL on the bull, mounted
him and started just as he was. He got
to the river just at dusk, went about
three hundred yards above the ferry
landing and boldly urged his trusty
steed in the foaming current of the
Missouri river. He landed on the 9TH
er side Mt the usual place, safe and
sound, and assembled the bank and
took up his line of march TO the we'd
ding, got to the cabin in time, an
chOred his bull opposite the open door
where he could see, laid down on the
back of his steed, and he gazed, for the
first time on a wedding. He layed on
his bull, where he could see all that
was going on and not be seen himself,
till late in the evening, when, as he
declined to go into the company, he
was slowed away out of sight till morn
ing, when he returned with the rest Of
the family home. The hero Of this in
cident is still living in this county, en-
joying green old age and a reputation
surpassed by none Of the many pros
porous farmers of this county, and no
man stands higher in the estimation
of his follow-citizens than Captain Sam
Cole.

The recommendation of the Grand
Jury are exceedingly well timed when
they point to the pressing necessity Of
q fence around the Courthouse. II is
certainly shame to have the shade
trees, whose loss would be well nigh
irreparable, destroyed by hitching ami
mails to them that eat off the bark. If
we are too poor to build fence around
100000 Courthouse, we should surely
inhibit the tying of horses to the trees.
The Grand Jury's suggestions aboutthe
smallness Of our jail Is worthy Of
prompt consideration. 10 pack even

The Waco Examiner is inclined to
think our reference to the name of the
Hon. John Hancock in connection
with the Senatorship is meant to be
satirical. Such construction We think
hardly warranted by the text of our ar
ticle, but in order that no room may
be left for further misconstruction, we
will simply say that John Hancock is
u proper person to elect to the United
States Senate, and that the 18th Legis-
lature will, in all probability, recog-
nize that fact.

has set apart the
Thirtieth Day Of November inst.

GOD for the blessings that have crowned
the now closing year.

It is, therefore, recommended that the
good people of Idaho, remitting their ac-
customed employment, do consecrate the
day to grateful recognition of the Divine
goodness. Let offences be forgiven and
the veil of charity drawn over the errors
and injuries of the past Let families as
