New Brand of Beer.

Herman jacobson is now handling
a brand of bottled beer made express
ly for his own use by "W. j. Lemp,
of St. Louis, and brewed expressly
for Jake" It is by far the best
beer on the market. Parties who
drink beer for their health Or as a
beverage should, by all means, try
this new brand and then they will use
no other. The following circular let
ter explains itself:
To crafty the wishes of my bust
ness friends, I have added to my pop
ular brand of Bottled Beer another OF
exceedingly fine qualities, which ]
offer to the trade at a slight advance
above the the usual quotations of my

distinguish readily between the two.

Revenue Collector.

Mai. r. E. Lawder left for WASH
ington last night to look after his in
terests in the Revenue Office. Presi-
dent Arthur, last Monday, appointed
Dave Stewart, of Louisiana, son of
the former collector, to take Law
der's place. There was, is and could
be but one objection to Lawder and
that is that he is aliberal Republican.
Stewart is a Grant Republican.
Mai. Lawder will make a fight in
the Senate for the Office and the mat
ter will now be settled whether the
Stalwarts are running this country,
and whether when Guiteau removed
Garfield he removed every office
holder in the service. Lawder has
given excellent satisfaction and we
trust will be retained.
We think it no more than right for
the Democratic Senators of Missouri
and of the United States to come to
the front and do all they can to assist
Lawder in his fight in the Senate
against the Stalwart element.
This Office is of great benefit to
Mexico and we hope, also, on this
ground, that it viii be retained. Mr..
Lawder is a true Republican and al.

party, but because be is not a Stall.

Jesse James In the Legislature.

Jesse James In the LeglSlatuTes
As was expected, a resolution in
regard to the killing of Jesse James,
was introduced in the Legislature
last Thursday morning, while we were
present. The resolution was intro
duced by a Republican, who thought
maybe that some of the democrats
would not vote for it and that capt.
tai could thus be made against the
party. It read as follows:
Resolved, That in the death of
Jesse James the State of Missourihas
received a great benefit, and it is the
sense of this House that we approve
of the action of the Governor in
breaking up and capturing and de-
stroying this gang of outlaws. There
fore, we are glad that Jesse James is
dead.
1t was declared out of order, as no
business could come before this body
not mentioned in the Governors
message.
Anthony, of Madison, a democrat,
then introduced the following:
Whereas, In olden times it came
to pass that a commotion arose il
Rome, during which time Brutus
killed Caesar, and
Whereas, That matter has never
been brought before this body, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That inasmuch as this i:
an older claim, needing u attention
that we justify, by this body, said &C
and we are glad that he is dead.
This was also declared out of order
There was just about as much sens
in introducing the first as there wa
in the last.

We'll Done.

From the Jefferson City Tribune.
Mr.. Daniel, of Audraln, has the
honor of being the author of the bill
adopted with but few changes, by the
caucus He has certainly done his
work well and deserves full credit for
it. Mr.. Sears, Of Macon, and Major
Dale, of Cass, were among those who
aided him in perfecting it, but the
general arrangement of the districts
is his work. It will be pushed through
each house as fast as the constitution
al restrictions will permit and will I'M
doubtedly receive the Governors sig
nature by Saturday night. This will
enable Missouri to claim the honor of
not only presenting the most symmet-
rical districts made by any other
State under the new apportionment
law, but Of distancing all her sister
States by making the session one Of
the shortest for the purpose eve,
