The House Judicial Committee has drawn
up its report on the subject of revision
OF the criminal code, stating that in the
opinion of the committee the criminal code
now works reasonably well, and secures
substantial justice so the people under all
ordinary circumstances, and that where the
law abiding citizens have been diligent and
careful in electing and keeping in office
competent and honest men, and at the
same time have not avoided their own duty
as jurors or otherwise, no just cause of
complaint now exists. Referring to the
particular charges suggested in the Gov
ernor's message, the committee say the
necessity for them is not pressing, nor are
the changes that could be beneficially made
of so importont nature, that commits
sion need now be appointed with power to
completely revise the criminal jurispru
dence for the State, and especially as such
commission would have to report to the
next Legislature, and their report would
be but an untried scheme, as compared
with our present laws which by reason of
practice under it and the judicial construc
ton has become known to the courts and
fairly understood by the people. -
The sub committee of the House appor-
tionment committee, this evening agreed
on bill which win be reported to the
House. Its main feature is division of
Cook county into four districts, one of
which would be democratic and distribute
the rest of the state so that the republi-
cans will gain one additional representa-
tive in the southern part of the state.

The arguments in the Guiteau trial
are now being made, and we may ex.
peet an early-termination to the mon
key show? Not any! The jury will
either hang or convict; if the former,
the whole ground will have to be gone
over again. If the latter, there are
many loop-holes for Guiteau to crowd
through to a second trial, if not to lib
srty. Counsel OH both sides have
warmed to their work, and the "argu-
ments"now being made consist princi-
pally of overflow of personal ill-will
between the contending forces. We
do not think the like of this farcical
trial has ever been seen in this coun-
try, and have faith enough in the av-
erage nobility of the American people
to believe that the future has no SINH
lar scOurge in store.

as the dogs have kept up such lament
able bowls for the last month at this
place.
Last Friday night, at the meeting o
the Young Mems Literary Society, at
the school house in Des Arc, "Uncle"
made his appearance, and was chosen
one of the judges. The question for
discussion was, Capital punishment
is unjust, and should be abolished. !"
The debate commenced, and "Uncle
Isaac" went to sleep and snored. The
President called for order, when "Un-
ele" raised up and asked, "What station
is this?" and laid down again and con-
tinued his snoring. After the discus

And he curled himself up n the corner
saying to himself, away with Gui-

floor. He thought it was dog collar
and put it in the stove; and he saw
something in the corner which he took
to be dog, but when about to kick at
it, "Uncle Isaac" jumped up and ran
out, saying as he left: "That's rough
on rats! Bless my life, I've swallowed
my false teeth" He don't know they
put in the stove. So, now, Mr.. Editor,
if you see "Uncle Isaac" down about
the county bridge between Ironton and
Arcadia, tell him to come home; the
County Court is not in session, and his
false teeth are still at the school house
hot injured much by fire.

Mo.

Saturday at 7:3O p. NJ, mail train No. on
the st. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern rail
road stopped at Neelyville station and depos-
tied passengers and the st. Louis mail. The
bag was taken to the store, block or so from
the track, where the Post Office is located and
was there opened by the proprietor OF the es-
tablishment, who is also Postmaster. Each
letter, parcel. package and paper was scanned
and the name read aloud for the benefit of
those present, as crowd will always congre-
gate while the mail is being distributed, and
on this particular occasion the attendance was
large, as the farmers and others in the neigh
borhood generally come in at the end of the
week to make purchases and get their Sunday
reading matter. Neelyville is Oh a cross road,
the inhabitants numbering about one hundred,
and is ISL miles from this city, being near the
State line. The villagers until last Saturday
had never had anything noteworthy happen
there since the village was founded, twelve
years ago.
While the crowd were in the store waiting
for their mail, two black robbed Williams walked
into the Station AGENTS sanctum. presented
four pistols at his head and gave that old and
familiar quotation, ''Your money or your life ~
The Agent stood aghast for an instant; saw
the long black robes which covered his two
visitors from neck to foot, while each had a
helmet on his head which came to the shout
ders and consisted of a large-sized paper bag
with two holes cut for the eyes. The desk was
opened aud all the money in sight, $S4, was
transferred to. the pockets of one OF the
strangers quite hurrtedly. and then without
saying another word they backed out, turned
the corner and disappeared. A few moments
thereafter the A-ent recovered from his fear
and gave the alarm, but it was too late, the
robber were gone.-I Mondays St. Louis RI
