neglecting all the streets of the town except
Main street. He admits that Main street is
in good condition but is ignorant of the mon
eyexpendcd thereon. Through the kindness
of the obliging and efficient Clerk of the
Town Board, Mr.. Maschmeyer, am able to
furnish the people of Pilot Knob and "Citi-
zen'' with few figures just rs l get them
from the books of the Board.
The Expenditures for the year ending
April LIST, 1882 have been as follows:
Election Expense, S 600
Printing and Stationery, II %
Assessing and Coll. Revenue, 81 IL
Costs in Criminal Cases, and
Legal Advice, IS 30
For Marshal Services, 303 30
Expended on Streets, 466 50
Total, $3.50 90
The total revenue for the wear has been
$973.S0. OF this amount, $lS5 was raised by
direct taxation, $7SS.S0 dramshop license,
billiard table, and m ;rchant's license,
fines, penalties, &c. y ow, Main street, of
which your correspondent, "Citizen," COM
plains, pays $63 direct tax and $545 license,
in all S60S, or G2h per cent. of the entire rev.
enuc of the town. The expenditures on Main
street have been for 60 cubice yards of gray
ell ut Soc. per ard, or Il cost iof twenty lone
dOllars($2D, While the expenses on the other
streets have been 1850. We may add that
the streets are in good condition, and the
Board Should have the credit of putting them
in that condition. "CitiZen" asserts that "we
do vt want the present Town Board re-
elected, for reasons" &c, but is not honest
enough or bold enough to mention even one
of those rcasons." What these reasons are
he leaves his readers to conjecture.
What terrible crookedness the Board has
been guilty of, he does not dare to state.
Now, Mr.. Editor, "CitiZcn's'' insinuations
are all the merest 6Osh and without fo,inda-
ton. "CitiZen" is doubtless in the dram
shop business or Influenced by some dram.
shop. 1t is wcll-known that the present
Board fixed the dramshop license at 800
This was necessary to secure funds with
which to hire u Marshal, the need of which
is occasioned by dramshops. The fact is
'Citizen" and his friends are opposed to this
license and want it reduced. This is the Sc
cret of his opposition to the present Board.
Now if the citizens of the Town of Pilot
Knob desire an honest, economical and intel
ligcnt administration of its municipal affairs,
they would better e-elect the old Board, or
if any of them are unable to serve, others
who are in accord with their general line of
policy. 1t is to be hoped that the best of our
citizens will look to this election and endcay-
same straightforward course that has charac-
terizcd the old Board. am not Il member

Jesse James Killed!

Between O and 10 O'Clock last Mon
day morning Jesse James, the notori-
Gus outlaw, was shot and killed in his
house (which he had rented and occu-
pied with his family under the name of
Thomas Howard), in ST. Joseph, by
Robert Ford, known there as Robert
Johnson. Ford and his brother were
living with James, and had been there
for some time, and shot him short
time after he had come into the house
the boys had been with Jesse they had
watched for al opportunity to shoot
him, but he was always SO heavily
armed and so aler. that it was impossi-
BILE tn draw q weapon withoHt his see
ing it. They declare that they had no
idea of taking him alive, considering
the undertaking suicidal. The oppor-
tunity they had long wished for came
MOnay morning. Breakfast was over.
Charley Ford and Jesse James had
been i'm the stable currying the horses,
preparatory to their night ride. On re-
turning to the room where Robert Ford
was, Jesse said: Its an awful hot
day." He pulled off his coat and vest
and tossed them on the bed. Then he
said. II guess I'll take off my pistols
tor fear somebody will see them if
walk In the yard" He unbuckied the
belt i'm which he carried two 45-calibre
revolvers, one Smith & Wesson, aud
the other a Colt, and laid them on the
bed with his coat aud vest. He then
picked up a busting brush with the in
tention of busting some pictures which
hung on the wall. To do this, he got
on chair. His back was now turned
to the brothers, who silently slapped be-
tween Jesse and his revolvers, and at
q motion from Charley both drew
their guns. Robert was the quickest
of the two. In one motion he had the
long weapon to level with his eye,
with the muzzle not less than two nor
more than four feet from the back of
the outlaw s head. Even in that mo-
ton, quick as thought, there was some
thing which did not escape the acute
ears of the hunted man. He made q
motion as if to turn his head to ascer-
tain the cause of that suspicious sound
but too late. A nervous pressure OH
the trigger, quick flash, sharp le-
port, and the well directed ball crashed
through the outlaws skull. There was
not an outcry, just q swaying of the
body, and it fell heavily back upon the
carpeted floor. The shot had been ia
tai and all the bullets in the chambers
of Charley's revolver still directed at
Jesse's head could not more effectually
have decided the fate of the greatest
bandit and freebooter that ever figured
in the pages of a country's history. The
ball had entered the base of the skull
and made its way out through the fore
head, over the left eye. 1t had been
fired out of a Colts 45-calibre, improv-
ed pattern, silver-mounted and pearl
handled pistol, presented by the dead
man to his slayer only few days ago.

We were shown Monday by Sumner SOule,
Esq, of Winthrop, the model of what prom
ises to be one of the greatest life and labor
saving inventions of the century. 1t is an
automatic car coupler, which can be applied
to any car at a slight expense. 1t is self
acting, so that when the coupling on one car
strikes the draw-hea on another they are
instantly connected by means of a bolt
worked by spring. 1t works both on a
curved and straight track, and on cars OF
different heights. A train of so cars can be
shackled in two minutes If all the cars are
supplied with this device. Small chains
run from the draw head to the side
and top of the car, 50 that cars can be
unshackled without the brakeman stepping
between them. 1t was tested in the Maine
Central yard in Portland Saturday, and
worked so perfectly that Supt. Tucker is to
Immediately adopt it on the freight cars on
his road. The inventors deserve a medal
from the Humane Society, as the patent will
do away with the frightful slaughter of brake
men on freight trains. 1t is simple and
durable. The inventors experimental eight
years before they perfected their idea. Mr..
Soule. who owns a controlling interest, will
match 1t against any car-coupler in the

saturating the ground. Fortunately the

Inconvenience to those chiefly CONCERNED.
