The st. Louis. Chicago and Fort
Scott Railroad

Question is agitating the minds Of our people,
the prospect to take a ride on its elegan,
coaches for the first time is near at hand, and
in order to celebrate that event in becoming
style Philip Keller is prepared to furnish
those in want elegant outfits for the occasion.
But, nevertheless, it is not necessary for any
one to wait to see whether il will become a
fact or not, as his elegant and spacious store
room is filled to its utmost capacity with the
most elegant line of G ,ods, and he Is deter
mined to sell them while the season lasts. 1t
is an undfsputed fact thas he Is the "Bossn
Clothier of our county and he has made
unusual efforts this season to eclipse the re-
suits of all previous years. His stock COM
prises all the specialties usually kept in a first
class clothing s:ore-for young as we'll as old.
1t is impossible to enumeratc all the different
kinds and qualities, but suffice it to say
that it would be well for everybody to come
and look at his stock before purchasing else
where. The reasons for this are. that he has
by far the largest line to select from; he has
the best made and best fitting garments to be
found in the market; he buys in such large
quantities that he is enabled to get his goods
for less than little dealers haze to pay for
them, and gives his customers the benefit of
the reduction in prices. He does not misrep.
resent his goods at any time ,and he will prove
these facts to eyerybody's satisfaction should
they favor him with a call. Come one, como

Attention, Farmersl


In a communication to the Missouri Thai
bote of April p, Thieman Bros. announced
that oweing to the poor prospect of the wheat
crop this season they reduced the price Of
their Irvine Binders to 1925, etc., etc.
Now, Messrs. Thieman, is this reduction Of
prices really on account of the sympathy you
have with the farmers, or is it rather because
you are afraid to risk the sale of the Mime
apolis and Buckeye binders on equal terms
with the Deering binder'
If the latter is not the case, you have
turned over a new leaf, for we note nothin z
of such sympathy two years ago, when it GER
tainly would have been more appropriate.

ScQOOISt
jefferson City correspondence Kansas City
Times Your correspondent is reliably in
formed that a movement is on foot among the
leading citizens of Lafayette county to petit
ton the supreme court in some manner to
remove the present reporter'o of the court, Mr..
Thos. E. skinker. They allege that Mr..
Skinker, although reporter of the supreme
court on a salary of 8 1000 per annum, has
been the chief drawback to the adjustment of
a compromise on the outstanding county
bonds of said county; they claim that about
SO per cent. of the debt has been compromis-
ed at so cents on the dollar, and, but for Mr..
skinkers positive refusal to accept less than
dollar for dollar, the whole amount would
ha' been compromised; that he brought suit
and obtained a small Judgment in the United
States court against the county In the name of
one Cochran Fleming, and that the failure
of the county court to levy q tax to meet this
judgment has resulted in the confinement of
the county Judges in the Cole county Jail un
der sentence from Judge KrekeHs court.
Now, the people Of Lafayette county believe
that Mr.. Skinker is the sole owner of the
judgment, and that there is no such person as
Cochrane Fleming that Mr.. S. only'uses the
name of this party in order to bring suit in
the United States court. They hold that If
their suspicious are correct, Mr., Skinkers
action in seeking the imprisonment of La
fayette county citizens in this way is not only
unjust but is an indirect ccnsure of our own
state courts. and that he should not be
longer continued in office as a reporter of our
supreme court at the cost of the state. This,
it is understood, will be the argument soon to
be used in favor of his removal"
