Notwithstanding the snow storm, on Mon
day evening, few faithful members Of the
Clionian went to the usual place of meeting,
gathered around the glowing fire in the good,
old fashioned fire place, and discussed that
page of English history which is blackened
with the cruel deeds Of Richard III, of
whom It Is said, "Nothing in his life became
him, like the leaving Of it." He lost his life
and crown at Bosworth In 1885, which battle
decided the long war of the Red Rose and the
White In favor of Lancastrian, who, after
marrying Elizabeth of York, was firmly seat
ed on the English throne and reigned as
Henry VII, the first of the House of Tudor.
The life and character of Kempis was given.
and formed q pleasing contrast to the former
history. The topics for newt evening are the
reign of Henry VII, Margaret of England,
and James w., of Scotland, Ferdinand and

dence of his father, In MiddlebrOok, little
Daniel Oesterle, son Of Christian Oesterle,
aged IA years, . months and days, died
from the effect Of wound produced by a
falling limb. He went out in the woods in
the morning, taking his dinner along with
him, and not returning in the evening the
family became uneasy about him, and sent
some one in search. He was found dead near
the root of tree he had just cut down. A
dead limb was living across his feet, which, it

him. We tender our sympathees to the be-

Those One-Gallon Jugs.

Ed. Register-In your issue Of Jan. II &C.
ours the following item:
| According to the Post Dispatch, since the
| first day of last April the potteries at Cal.
| houn, Henry county, have shipped 5000
| one gallon jugs to Kansas. This doesn't
| speak well for prohibition.
Has it ever occurred to you that, quarter
| OF q century since, the border line between
Missouri and Kansas was the seat of war be-
| tween the forces of Freedom and Slavery?
| Then Missouri was sending armed bands of
| ruffians across that lime by the hundreds,
backed by the whole slave power of the
South, the strong arm Of the Federal Gov
| ernment and the "gallon Jug" for the pur-
pose of crushing out and destroying the little
| plant of freedom which had taken root in the
| soil of Kansas. The result is matter Of
! history.
Now that same line is the seat of war be-
tween two forces different in name to the
first, but similar in nature; and the war Is
carried on in a like manner. A small band
of patriots have arrayed themselves in oppo-
sition to the overwhelming forces Of Intem-
pcrancc, and from this side the line the "gal-
Ion Jug" backed by the whole liquor inter-
est, North as well as South, and the arm Of
the Federal Government, is bearing down
upon their devoted ranks.
As the writer was an humble participant
in the first mentioned struggle, and still has
i'm his possession some trophies Of the days
when the gallant sold John Brown" and his
companions fought for the life of Freedom,
so he has been i'm some degree participant
in the struggle now progressing upon the
soil so early devoted to the maintenance Of
right against wrong; and as he has lived to
see the cause of Freedom triumphant
throughout the length and breadth of our
land, lso, by the blessing of the God, who ever
upholds the right, he hopes to see the cause
of Temperance equally triumphant. And it
surely will be! Let the opponents of that
cause take warning from history, and be-
ware, for the Car of Progress always moves
forward. W. n. LYMAN.
PILOT KNOB, Jan. Is, 1883.
Passing over the Inaccuracies contained
In the above, Mr.. Lyman's argument by
analogy would he very forcibie. But, what
ever may be said in favor OF Prohibition, the
Car of Progress, the grinding to powder, the
saintliness of old John Brown, and all that,
the simple fact remains that the people Of
Kansas still demand aud cHk have the one

At Omaha, connection is made with the
Overland train for California.
This line offers to parties en- route to the

Trout.

The highestlprice probably ever realized
in any countryfor fish was that on 'Change
Wednesday, where two brook trout, two
years old, beautifully marked and about
eleven inches long were sold for the benefit
handsome sum Of $aS5, or $I42.5O each. The
trout were raised la the trout ponds Of Judge
Emerson at Ironton, No., and by him pre-
scented to the Exchange. The problem of
trout raising in the spring streams of the
Ozarks seems to be settled. So Missouri
comes to the front as producing the highest
priced fish in the neutrality-suspicious..
Yes, and We want you to distinctly take
notice that while "Missouri comes to the
front rs producing the highest priced fish In
the world" IrOnton comes to the front as
the "Hub" Of all creation on trout!
