EDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO SUNDAY, AUGUST Is, 1882
THE NOMINATIONS.

The republicans of Pettis county yester.
day put q ticket in the field 10 be voted for
at the coming fall election. In some re.
spects it is a good ticket, and again ii
could have been improved upon. The
republicans of Pettis are not noted for their
shrewd nomination or for their crafty
management of party matters. There are
too many leaders in the party to ever meet
with any great success.
The nomination of Judge Baker for
collector, j. }. Penquite for county judge
and S L. Highleyman for representative,
are about the best they have named on
their ticket. These gentlemen, if elected,
would not be very Objectionable to large
class of the independent voters.

GREENBACK GATHERING.
What the RefOrmers Did Yester.
day in Reference to Nomi-
mating q County
Ticket.

Reporters are usually supposed to know
everything, but occasionally the limit Of
their knowledge is reached. This was the
case of a BAzoo reporter. who incidentally
learned yesterday morning that the green.
hackers of Pettis county we're to assemble
in convention for the purpose of nominal
ing candidates for county Offices.
1t would be supposed that the assembling
of body of representatives of the grea,
party that claims that the country is now
on the verge of bankruptcy and ruin, and
can only be saved by turning the helm OF
the ship of state over to the greenbackers
would have been beralded through the
public press and otherwise. Such, how
ever, was not the case, and about two hours
of the reporters valuable time was oc ~
pied in trying to find a greenbacker, or to
ascertain where the great reformers and
revolutionizers were going to assemble. By
dint of much inquiry and perseverance,
one of the faithful was finally discovered
in the person of Mr.. Joshua Gentry. From
him it was learned that the convention(?)
had completed its labors, and he kindly
gave the scribe an account of the proceed
ings.
The convention organized by electing
DIR. Hill chairman, and Joshua Gentry Sec
rotary.
On motion, a committee of FIVE, consist
ing of J. w. Steele, w. T. Irwin, VIM. Cur
rent, Judge Baker and Joshua Gentry, was
appointed to confer with a similar COM
mittee, to be appointed by the republican
county convention, then in session in this
city, in reference to the nomination of
county officers. Without transacting any
further business, the convention then adj
jeurned.
From this action it would seem that the
greenback brethren need q little outside
help in their great work of reform and SAL
walton.
The BAzoo will not saw that there was
large and enthusiastic gathering, because
its informant did not say SO, and from all
accounts, the attendance was not SO large
but that each delegate could be sccommO-
dated with an alderman's desk in the city
hall, where the convention convened.

Brownsville Races.

The tornado at Brownsville having de.
prived the people in that vicinity of their
usual annual fair, it has been determined
to hold races at the fair grounds, notwith-
standing. A large number of prominent
flyers" have been secured from Memphis,
Chicago and other points, and there is but
little doubt that much interest will be
manifested. The races will come off at the
fair grounds next Wednesday, August Is,
and large attendance is expected. There
will be a number of trotting races and
premi rs will be awarded to the amount
of six hundred dollars. The races will be

colored, who occupied a house with AL.
Dyer, in Lincolnville, suddenly disap-
peared, and at the same time lot of cloth.
ing and jewelry, valued at about $40, be-
longing to Dyer, turned up missing. Dyer
reported to the police, at the time, his loss
and his suspicious that Perry had robbed
him. The officers kept q sharp lookout
for the suspected thief, but he made him
self scarce for while, not showing up in
this city until Friday. He was taken in

WAS IT ROBBERY?
Mr.. Elliott Lamotte Loses $50 In
Money and q Check for $50
in q Mysterious Manner.

A man by the name of Elliott Lamotte,
accompanied by his wife and infant child,
arrived in the city yesterday, and stopped
at the boarding house kept by Mrs. Lighter,
ON West Main street. Mr.. Lamotte has
been employed for some time on the farm
of Mr.. ODE Harris, about seven miles from
this city. He had given up his situation
with Mr.. Harris, with the intention Of GO
ing to Dakota, where he thought he could
better his condition, and it was arranged
that Mrs. Lamotte and the baby should GO
to Illinois To the nome OF her parents. Yes
terday at ten o'clock, Mrs. Lamotte left
the boarding house and came mp town to
do some shopping, first having received SO
from her husband with which to make
purchases. After his wife had left the
house, Mr.. Lamotte, who had been kept
awake the greater part of the night pre-
vious by the fretfulness of the baby, laid
down to take a nap, there being no one
else in the room except the sleeping child.
He slept quite sOundly until his wife re-
turned, when, after inspecting together for
few moments the purchases she had
made, she returned to her husband the
change left from the ten dollar bill he had
given her.
Mr.. Lamotte proceeded to place the
change i'm his pocketboOk, when he
made the alarming discovery that
it was gone. When he went to sleep the
pocket book, containing two twenty dollar
bills, one ten dollar bill and check for
fifty dollars on the Citizens bank, was i'm
his right hip pocket. He Immediately
went to the police station and notified
Marshal Shy of his loss. The marshal
accompanied him back to the house and
Mrs. Lighter was informed of the sup
posed robbery. She was very much
surprised at the possibility Of anyone
being robbed in her house at that time, as
all the boarders were absent, and the only
occupants If the house were herself, her
little boy and the help. She insisted that
Mr. Lamotte had either lost the money or
that it must be in the room, and to satisfy
her, and with the full consent of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lamotte, the marshal made thorough
.earch OF the premises, ransack-
ing bureau drawers, trunks, ETC.,
but all to no purpose Mr. Lamotie went
to tine bank at once and bad payment
stopped on the check. The robbery, ii
such ii is. was a most skillful one, and how
TO account for the loss of the money and
check on any other hypothesis, is wha;
is pulling the police and all others con-
versant with the facts in the case.
Mrs. Lighter is a most estimable lady
and, of course, feels mortified that any OF
her guests should suffer the loss of money
or valuables in her house under such pc
culiar circumstances.
Mr.. Lamotte is highly recommended by
his late employer as an industrious and
honest man, ard, being a poor man, de-
pendent upon his daily labor for the sup
port of himself and family, feels his loss
keenIy.
The police will exert every effort to
ferret out the mystery.

Warm and Hot Springs.

The. springs called thermal springs
are found in all latitudes, at various
elevations above the sea, and in most
of the geological formations. The word
thermal does not, however, denote IL
spring of any particular degree of tenn
perature, and is far from signifying
that the springs to which it is applied
are all equally warm; for any spring is
thermal, the water of which is warmer
than the mean annual temperature of
the place where it occurs. In the equa-
torial regions, where the mean annual
temperature is about eighty degrees, a
thermal spring should have tempera-
ture of about eighty-five degrees,
while in the northern parts of the
earth, as, for example, at Yakutsk, III
Siberia, where the years temperature
does not exceed thirteen degrees, it
need be only a little above that. The
waters of thermal springs maintain an
equable temperature, and must there
fore come out of depths in the earth at
which the variations in the tempera-
ture of the air exert no influence. Ac-
cording to Boussingault, this depth in
the tropics is only a little more than
one or two feet, but between forty
eight degrees and fifty-two degrees of
north latitude it is between siXty-six
and ninety-three feet below the
surface. Besides the springs that
are called thermal, many springs
are found the temperature of
which exceeds the highest mean
temperature of the year, and
are called warm springs. Samples are
the spring at Carlsbad, 167 degrees /;
that of Wiesbaden, 15S degrees those
of Baden-Baden, 154 to Ill degrees,
etc. The depth from which the waters
come may be approximately calculated
by the rule that the temperature in
creases one degree for every ninety
feet below the surface. Hence the
water of the bubbling spring at Carls-
bad is supposed to come from a depth
of 1900 feet.
A third class of springs, the boiling
springs, geysers or hot springs, whose
temperature is near the boiling point
of water, are peculiar in respect to the
places where they appear. They are
found only in volcanic regions; are nu-
merous in Iceland, where there are
more than a hundred of them; on the
North island of New Zealand, where
they are most abundant, in the neigh
borhood of the Roto Mahada or Hot
lake; and near the Yellowstone lake,
the Fire-hole and the Madison rivers,
in the region of the Wind River noun
tains, in the United States, where
some 300 of them are grouped within
a certain well-deined area.-Popular

FROM WASHINGTON.

In the star route trial, after Attorney-Gen-
eral Brewster had closed his argument for
the prosecution, the jury were about to leave
the box when they were stopped by Judge
Wylie, the presiding justice, who stated that
he wished to devote a moment to matter
foreign to the trial proper. Judge Wylie
stated that he had been informed by several
of the jurymen that they had been
approached improperly, and that,
upon learning that within the las.
twenty -four hours "these wolves have be-
come fercer, more determined" he felt SO
much indignation that he was almost ready
to advise the juryrnen to shoot the men on
the spot. Judge Wylie used very strong
words of warning. Counsel on both sides
demanded an investigation and one WIS or
dered. The announcement by the court
caused much excitement, and many rumors
resulted from it.
