The Storm,

visited this section, at this season Of
the yeaf, came down upon us last
Saturday, 1t commenced to snow
Friday forenoon and at evening
there was two or three inches OF
snow on the ground. As this was
the first Of the season, it was sup
posed that it would stop, but it did
not it kept it up, and the wind
turned round to the northwest and
the blizzard began. BY Saturday
morning there was something like
a foot of snow, where the wind had
left it undisturbed. 1t kept up
showing and blowing all day. All
business stopped. People who
were in town were compelled to
stay and those who were in the
country did the anne The trains
were al stopped by the snow drifts,
Telegraph communication was stop
ped, and we could not hear from the
outside world at all. The storm
ceased Sunday and the worst fears
in regard to stock Of The country was
realized. The storm coming SO ear
ly farmers were not prepared for it.
Many had but poor Sheds and some
had no sheds at all, Many men
were caught away from home. The
loss Of stock was great. 1t viii sum
up into thousands. 1t was not so
cold as to freeze stock, but the snow
being wet and the wind cold,
they simply chilled to death. We
give below in detail a few of The
losses Of stock and other property in
this locality,
Geo. Ford il. lost s head of year
lings.
Mr.. Welsh, Of this city, lost 8
head Of hogs. They smothered.
Mr.. Claus Peterson, west of town,
lost a horse and three head of
cattle.
\. J. Wallace lost &c pigs.
A horse persisted in the old barn
south Of Woods livery. We have
not learned whose it was.
The wind-mills in this section
suffered more OF lcse.
J. NJ TaIcotts lumber sheds re-
ccived more weight than they could
stand and were crushed into q mass
of ruins.
When the people begin to come
in from the country we have no
doubt we will hear of considerable
more damage to stock.
THE boys that left for Tie Hills
from the Point got snow-bou4d at
GayyiIle, and laid up three days.
We are still head quarters for
clothing. Mems, boys and child
ren's. Largest stock, Lowest prices.

that the electoral colleges of Kansas,
New York, Illinois, Maine, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Vermont, and Ohio, met
and cast their votes for James A. Gar
field, for president, and Chester A. Ar
thur for vice-president. Those Of Mary
land, New Jersey, Virginia and Missouri
met and voted for Hancock and Eng
lish A dispatch from Atlanta says the
vote Of Georgia is probably lost To Han
cock and English, for the reason that
the revised statutes of the United States
provide in section 1875, that the electora!
college Of the United States shall meet
on the first Wednesday Of De
cember and cast the vote. The Georges
code, section 1912, provides that the
governor shall notify the electors to NEE
at the capital on the first Monday II
December, to be ready on the Wednesday
following to cast their vote. This thu
governor has done, but the electors hav'
not met to-day OF voted, and tits though
by leading officials and lawyers here
that they have no right to meet and vot'
next Wednesday. The other states wer
not heard from.

"One contends that It takes effect i'm.

sort OF an idea as to what is reason and
common sense. A constitution is only
foundation upon which TO base laws.
A constitution cannot well en-
force itself. II requires statutes TO car
ry its provisions into effect, and 10
prescribe penalties and punishments,
and modes of enforcing them. We new

RATHER "A SIIRPRISE.

The announcement in Tuesdays
kilograms Of general change in the az
fairs of the NJ, K. q T. railway was
quite surprise. All the general off,
GERS are removed. The headquarters,
which have been at Sedalia eJ er since the
road was built, are to be taken to st.
Louis. Even the name is to be changed,
and the road becomes the Kansas and
Texas Division of the Missouri Pa
cifc. To outsiders, at least, changes
so sweeping were not looked for. As
to whether the land department is to be
moved from this city was not known
at the Office Wednesday. 1t would
seem that it ought 10 remain here, as
this is point more convenient to the
lands than any other. Many of the Off
GERS removed by this change have been
with the road from the first and are pop
ular and capable men, and those whose
BUSINESS relations have been in any de
gree intimate with them will regret to
hear of their removal. The taking oi
the general offices to St. Louis will he
quite a serious loss to Sedalia.

THE PEOPLE TURNED PoLITI-
CLANS.

II has been frequently asserted that
the business men of New York elected
Garfield president They turned out,
organized and voted, something they
had not been in the habit Of doing for
many years And what the business
men Of New York did was done largely
all over the country. The people turned
out and attended to politics this year.
There has not for many years been such
an awakening among the better classes OF
voters. All were politicians, and there
has never been such demand for thor
ough understanding Of the political Is
sues ~ there was this year, and especi
ally those pertaining to our own govern
ment This is = good indication, and we
hope TO see the interest in politics, in its
better phases, kept up. A few years ago,
TO call q man q politician was to brand
him with an unsavory epithet, and very
intelligent paople seemed to think that
an individual who acquired such repu-
tatiOn was little better than q criminal.
Business and professional men boasted,
as though IL were something TO be proud
OF, that they knew nothing about poll
tics. Whatever else they might be guilty
Of they proclaimed with an unctious
smile there was one calender sin of
which they were guiltless, and that was
having anything to do with politics.
We are glad to note an evident change
in this respect For whenever the bet
ter classes take hold of the conventions
and elections, the professional politi-
clans take . back seat. We had for
years in many portions of the county
fearful rule from the machine" poll
ticians-those who subverted party,
country and everything to selfish Ambi-
ton. New York city has suffered more
from these than any other portion of the
country, and no wonder the business
men rallied to break their power. Their
Infamous work had convinced all that
IL was the duty of all good men and true
to become, in the proper sense of the
term, politicians.
The awakening. the evident change in
public sentiment in regard TO political
management, more particularly in the
east, marks sort of new Grain politics
which we hope to see followed up in the
future Politically we believe the cOun'
try is purer and better than eyer before
and Il behooves the better class of Ameri
cans, those who act from patriotic mo
tives alone, to keep the good work going
