WATER HAUL.

Last Friday night as p. C. Tay-
lor, clerk for j. d.. Tucker one of
our leading grocers, was !sweetly
dreaming of q better world be was
aroused, by some one going out Of his
room through the window and taking
a hurdle ace over the picket fence in
front of his house. On examination
he found that his room had been en-
tered thu ough the window, the thief
cutting some. of the Stats out of. the
shutter and then reaching through
had unfastened the same and the
window being unfastened had entered
the room and rifed Mr.. Taylor's
pants, taking his pocket-book con-
tanning only about 60 cents in cash
and some notes valuable to Taylor,
worthless to the thief. Mr.. Taylor
found a huge club laying by the win
dow which the thief had ready to use
In case of emergency. VIZ suppose
the thief thought that ss MIR. Tucker
was in St. Louis that Taylor, his
head clerk, must have the cash taken
in during the day, but as luck would

CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.

MIR. EDITOR: What has become
of our Citizens Association? Is it
dead? If SO, why don't somebody
announce the fact, and have suitable
arrangements made for funeral cere-
monies?
1t seems that the only thing that
called it into existence and kept it
alive was a scheme to obtain a mo-
nopoly in the shape Of an incorporat-
ed rock road company and as soon
as this was accomplished all vitality
left it and it gave up the ghost and
died. But there are surely other
interests of far more vital importance
to our city and county that require
it's nursing care and solicitous atten-
ton, such as the invitation of immi-
grafton, the establishment of manu-
factories, and last but not least, the
location of a division Of the new rail-
road to Kansas City, which should be
most studiously watched and care
fully attended to.
Therefore an occasional meeting of
the above mentioned body, provided
it has not been decreed out Of exis-
tence, would not do any harm and
might possibly accomplish some good.
What does the high-toned president
of the asscc citation say? Yours,
WJDEAwAKP.

CONFIDENCE GAME.


Last Thursday young Mr.. Beal, OF
Laddonia, was in Mexico attending
court when be met u couple of young
men who appeared to be very friend
Ely with him, but to have some trouble
with each other. They persuaded Beal
to go with them up in West Mexico
to act as referee in the matter under
consideration. When he got up there
he found that they had a knife which
one wanted to bet tue other that he
could not open. The bet was taken,
but one of the parties had not the
$40 in cash to put mp. He had a
check for 500 which he wanted 10
put in Beal s hands as collateral for
the $40 he wanted Beal to loan him
for q minute only, but Beal knew q
few" if he did live in the country and
he told the rascals that the job was
rather not thick enough. They in
sisted ON borrowing the money when
he pulled out his Gatlin gun and told
them to git. You can't always judge
a man by his looks, all ''grays' are
not green.
