An Anti-Third Term National Repub-
lican Convention was held In St. Louis
Thursday. The Convention was not
only respectable In point of numbers,
twenty States sending delegates, but in
huential, and its proceedings character
ised by great dignity. The tone of the
convention was that of a determined
opposition to the third-term principle.
1t crested committee to express to the
Chicago convention its opposition to'a
third term nominee, and second COM
mittee with power to call convention to-
ward securing second Republican NOM
ination for the Presidency in case of
Grants success at Chicago. The action
OF the convention, respectable as the body
wasin numbers and in character, cannot,
and should not fail to produce some eff
feet upon National politics.

"A VOTERS" QUERY.

Mr., Editor.
Will you please inform me who is ahcaj
on delegates to the convention which is to
put up the next candidate for president on
the Republican side! A VOTER.
We would like to give a satisfactory
answer to your query as to who is ahead on
delegates to the Chicago convention. We
pick up the Chicago Tribune aud find that
Blaine is on the top of the ladder. We
pick up the Intcr-O Ocean and find that he is
at the bottom. We pick up the Journal
and find him cinging to the middle round.
We pick up the Globe Democrat and find
Grant soaring even above the top of the
ladder and still going higher. We try
to strike an average when Andre Mattcrson
of the Times comes in and kicks down the
whole arrangement, saying that nobody is
ahead We can solve the 10, 10, IA puzzle,
but must give up the conundrum which "a

Innocent Childhood.

Is
Childhood is the glad springtime of
life. It is there that the seeds of future
greatness or startling mediocrity are
SoWn.
If boy has marked out a glowing
future as an intellectual giant, it is dur
ing these early years of his growth that
he gets some pine knots to burn in the
evening, whereby he can read Herbert
Spencer and the Greek grammar, SO that
when he is in good society he can say
things that nobody can understand. This
gives him an air of mysterious greatness
which soaks into those with whom he
comes in contact and makes them re-
spectful and unhappy while in his pres
ence.
Boys who intend to be railroad men
should early begin to look about them
for some desirable method of expunging
two or three fingers and one thumb
Most boys can do this without difficulty.
Trying to pitch card out of job press
when it is in operation is q good way.
Most job presses feel gloomy and un-
happy until they have eaten The fingers
off two or three boys. Then they go on
with their work cheerfully and even
hilariously.
Boys who intend to lead an irreproaclr-
able life and be foremost in every good
word and work, should take unusual
precautions to secure perfect health and
longevity. Good boys never know when
they are safe. Statistics show that the
ratio of good boys who die, compared to
bad ones, is simply appalling
There are only thirty good boys
left as we go to press. and they are not
feeling very well themselves.
The bad ones are all alive and very
active.
The boy who stole my coal shovel last
spring and went out into the graveyard
aud dug into grave to find Easter eggs,
is the picture Of health. He ought to
live long time yet, for he is in very
poor shape to be ushered in before the
bar of Judgment.

All, what recompense have wealth and

The Brum1eld Case

The Kansas City Journal of Septem
ber Both, mentions suit pending in the
Circuit Court of jackson county, Mo-,
which, as it IS of interest to many readers
of this coast, we reproduce as follows
ssA petition was fled in the Circuit
Clerks office on the 9th of September
by Nancy M. Brumfeld against Samuel
Lewis Wolf, in which she prays that the
title of the Brumfield homestead be di-
vested from said Wolf and vested in her.
The plaintiff charges in her petition that
the property was the home of herself and
former husband long before his
DEsERTIoN AND SUBSEQUENT MURDER
In Washington Territory. That on or
about the first day of August last, when
Brumfield was making secret prepara-
daughter-in-law, he obtained by fraud
and false pretenses, her signature to
deed conveying this property to the de-
fendant, Samuel Lewis Wolf But the
plaintiff further AYERS that no considera-
tion was paid Or ever has been paid by
the defendant for this property. That
the deed to him was fraudulent, and
made with the understanding that
he was to reconvey the prop.
erty to Brumfeld in person, and
thus defraud her of her rights.
That he was only holding the property
in trust for Brumfeld's sudden death
only prevented him from conveying the
property back to Brumield. The home.
stead is valued at $1,000, and lies east of
Kansas City on the Blue river. The
suit will come up at the next term of
the Circuit Court. The remarkable
story of the infatuation which Samuel
Brumfeld, rich farmer, conceived for
the bride which his son brought home
one day; the manner in which he had
FALSE WARRANTS SWORN OUT
And ostracised his son from fear of the
law; then quietly disposed of his prop
erty and eloped with his daughter-in-
law, is familiar to all the readers of the
Journal. He was joined by his friends,
Bud Thomas and his wife, and subse-
quently the bodies of Brumfield and his
mistress were found in Washington Ter
ritory, and Bud Thomas and his wife
came back here, and were soon after ar
rested for the murder. The story is one
of the most remarkable in the annals of
crime" Thomas and his wife still Ian
guish in Jail at Walla Walla, awaiting
the tardy arrival of the day which will
send them to the gallows for an awful
crime, or give them back their long with
held liberty.
