Reform hall was the scene of an inter
esting meeting of the temperance people
Friday evening. The president was absent,
so was the first vice. president, but the
second vice. president was present and pre-
sided over the meeting. 1t was decided,
among other matters, that hereafter one Of
the features of the regular Friday meetings
shall be fine music. 1t was also decided
that next meeting should be sort Of sex

The neat sum of $4,000 is offered for
the apprehension of each of the Winston
train robbers, and an extra $4,000 each is
added for the James boys. The mere
announcement of such q reward will
rebound to the credit Of Missouri whether
the robbers are taken or not. But why has
such action in this state been so long
delayed? The loud mouthed, semi chivalric
style of stump speakers who have of late
years taken the lead in Missouri politics
heve proved poor office.holders, and by
their management of her affairs have cost
the state millions. The immigration boom
is salvation.

Herbert, Gates and Others, at meeting
recently held, have determined that Mr..

The Washington correspondent of the
New FORK Tribune says it is understood
that since the shooting of the president
several members of the cabinet have re-
ceived threatening letters from persons who
are evidently imbued with the belief that
the government owes them a living, and
that where opportunities have failed threats
may succeed. One member of the cabinet,
in his mail last Sunday morning found a
letter which in substance was as follows
"You retain in your department that -----
--. This is to warn you that unless
he is dismissed before August 1, 1881, you
will be shot down the first chance, unless
you remove him before the first day of
August. Good by, for we mean business"
There were certain circumstances connected
with this letter which appeared to render it
possible that the writer might be discover
ed, and steps have been taken in that direc-
| ton.
Expressions of regret at the dissolu-
ton Mr.. Harry Walkers Comique band
are general, because the band, under the
leadership of Mr.. AL. Goss, had attained to
degree of perfection that has been equal
ed by few and excelled by no cornet
bands in the city. The dissolution was
not so much necessity with Mr.. Walker
as some suppose. In fact it was Mr.. Walkers
intention to keep the band together and the
principle reason why he went to the ex-
