Get Married.
st. Joseph Gazette.

Young men ought to qualify them
selves for whatever business they ex-
pect to follow throughout life, and
then get married and settle down and
attend strictly to business. Few
young men ever amount to much or
succeed well in life or business until
after they are married. While single
they are disposed to neglect business,
roam around and spend their money
more freely than they make it; be-
sides they render themselves willing
victims to the many snares and temp
tations that beset them on every hand.
Once married and properly mated,
the charms of home made sweeter
still by the loving eyes and gentle
voice of noble wife, far outweigh
and overbalance all outside attrac-
tions and temptations, and they will
soon lose all desire for the follies and
temptations that so abundantly sur
round them. So young man, get
married; make some true and noble
woman happy, and heaven will bless
Won in the end.

Who 2

Now that Hon. A. II. Buckner is
being warmly advocated by several of
the press as candidate for Governor,
with a likelihood of an acceptance,
the question arises, who will be our
next representative in congress? Such
timber as Buckner is hard to find,
and 1t is doubtful if there be any
which will for some time to come fill
his honored place in that body with
such credit. The requisites for that
position are numerous: Honesty, abil-
ity and courage are the leading grand
principles that the lucky man should
possess, with others too numerous to
mention. Those most prominent who
have been mentioned in connection
with this important Office are Judge
Elijah Robinson and Hon. Champ
Clark, and we have also heard the
name of j. McD. Trimble in this
connection. Either of the above
named gentlemen, we are confident,
would do honor TO the position, and
most assuredly have the interests of
the district at heart. All able, hon.
orable and capable. Should the con-
vention select one of these, the people
may rest assured that their interests
will be fully protected as far as the
strength of one man can go. Which
is the Vondalia argus.

Couldn't Stand 1t.


The Mulberton and the Ginsley
families are near ncighbors. They
live in the suburbs of Austin. There
is, or should be, bond of unity be-
tween them, for they are both very
slow and deliberate in spending
money. Both of the families men,
toned keep very frugal tables. Mrs
Mulberton thought it would be fine
stroke of policy to send her children
over to the Ginsley mansion just
about supper time. The result was
entirely satisfactory, for the next
time the ladies met, Mrs. Mulbertson
asked:
"Why don't you send your little
dears over to my house every even
ing?"
II couldn't think of it. They
come home hungry as wolves, and
would eat me out of house and home
if they were to keep it up"
There is now a glacial epoch exist
ing between the two families.

From Boone County-Es.
capade of a Married Man.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
A sensation was created yesterday
at Florissant by the arrest of a
young girl and her alleged abductor.
The parties involved are George Kaene,
a well-known married man, the father of
several children, who reside with their
mother at Columbia, Mo-, and Sarah
Jane Wilson, comely, fair-complexioned
maiden of l5, with long blonde tresses.
Her parents are very respectable, we'll
to-do people of Boone County.
1t is alleged that after Keene had en-
ticed the girl away from home, he took
her on board a fiat boat where there
were two or three disreputabie fe-
males. These women had one man who
remained with them. When Keene and
Miss Wilson joined the gang, the boat
was cut loose and drifted down the Mis-
souri, River, making occasional stops at
way-Iandings and small river towns.
About two weeks since the boat was
moored at St. Charles, but was soon sent
adrift by the town authorities. The
next stopping place was Mullanphy Is
land, between Music's Ferry and st.
Charles, and about three miles from
Florissant, where the guilty couple were
captured, the arrest being made by Dep
uty Sheriff J. 6. Evans, assisted by Con-
stable Hanley, of ST. Ferdinand Town
ship.
