~ 49, s%%&EAss& - -#s
Little boy, what you are looking at
is neither a cyclone or an earthquake,
ora family fight. Although the Ia
BILE is turned, the looking-glass brok-
en-, a hole knocked in the rocking
char and the lamp up side down, no
one is mad and all is serene. Of
course, the gentleman you are looking
at hasa red face he has a dirty
place on his nose as big as the writ
er's foot; his hair is on one end and
his whiskers Oh the other; a hole torn
in his coat and one shoe off. Still he
is not excited. He scowls rs he kicks
the cat and growls as he throws the
dictionary at the dog and still nothing
much is the matter. All the affair
lacks to be q perfect pandemonium
is a couple of policeman and a stack
of black cats. Our friend Jack Ha-
den is putting up his stove.
II.
What we have before us is neither
b dog without a tail, a ship without
a radder or a wagon without a wheel.
The owners say it is loaded but it is
not. 1t is small, harmless, cut in
two in the middle and disjointed in
every sense of the word. Although
but a few weeks old it is in very
feeble health and much in need of q
physician as well as a spiritual adj
wiser. As weak as il is young as
stupid as an oyster; a intelligent as
a clam. Such is the republican par
ty of Missouri.
You say you don't e anything ?
Neither do we. At the same time
something is there, Or going to be
there, Or has been there, or will be
there, or ought to be there. The
grade is easy, the track is straight, il
runs through the fiuest farming coun-
ty and over the richest coal fields in
the world. It is the shortest and
best route to somewhere from some
where. Here is a chance for you to
invest your money. A few people
are going to get rich. You are going
to pay the fiddler. Everybody says
it is a good thing and the newspapers
puff it up. The wise men nod theil
heads and say go in for it boys, etc,
Such is the Hannibal & Southwestern
Railroad Or whatever you may call it.
which if built will run somewhere
from somewhere to somewhere.

We have several times been asked
our opinion about a circular issued
last Saturday about the greenbackers
by Brookes, editor of the Republican.
The circular is condemned by every
republican We heard speak of it. We
should judge that Brookes was eitt
er crazy or was dying to have some
n take his measure for a coffin.
Without cause he pitches into old
residents of this county In a very
reckless manner. Nothing can be
gained by personal journalism, espec-
tally hand-bill journalism. If an ed
itor has anything to say let him put
it in his paper and not in hand bills.

COnalin'S Character.

Mr.. Conalin, whose wife married
Buscaren. is persistent in character,
and is bound that justice shall be
done the %destroyers of his home and
happiness. When Mrs. c. and Bus
caren gave bail last Saturday every
one said that they would go away to-
gether and never come back, and for
felt their bond. They may go away
but when wanted they will be found,
for Conalin will spend every cent of
his fortune in keeping track of them,
and if they think they can escape in
this way they are mistaken. Last
Saturday night Conalin had a warrant
sworn out against Buscaren who was
~re-arrested for making a false affida-
Wit when he got his marriage license.
Buscaren will never get any peace I'M
til he gives up all claim of Mrs. Con-
alin and keeps severely away from
her. We don't knew as even this
will keep Conalin off his track.

COURT CLOSED.
Criminals Disposed Of at the Close.

---
About 8 o'clock. last eve, circuit
court closed for this term. Among
the ase disposed of just at the close
VI noticed:
Stanley Reid was sent up for six
months Imprisonment in the county
Jail for robbing Reeds hotel.
The Rector boys gave $500 bond,
each to appear at the next term.
Orth and Edwards, who with Moron
broke into John Daniels house, were
sent to the ~pcnitentiary for five years.
Moron, not being IS years old, could
not be sent to the p%enitentiary. His
chances were very good for the coun-
ty Jail for a year, when his father APP
peared and wanted to take him home.
His father was here during the trial,
but did not make himself known, and
his son did not see him. His fathers
name is Delaney, and he is a promi-
nent business man in Chicago. Judge
Robinson very correctly thought,
owing to his age and other circum.
stances, it would be best to give him
some advice and send him home with
his father, which he did. The young
man made a narrow escape, and
should profit from this lesson.
