The Frank James Trial.

Boonville, Mo-, August 22.-The
indictments against Frank James,
tor participating in the Otterville
train robbery of 1876, were called up
in the circuit court to-day at p. m.
The State was represented by d.
w. Shackelford, prosecuting attor-
ney of Cooper county. James was
represented by William Williams, of
this city, and John Slower, of lnde-
pendence. The cases were contin-
ued to the November term, on the
grounds that J. w. Draffen, one of
James attorneys, was sick and un-
able to assist in the defense. Judge
Edwards put his bail at $4,000, be-
ing $4,000 in each case. Ten re-
sponsIble citizens of Cooper county
volunteered to go on his bond and
were accepted They are F. H.
Brlnough. John Stephens, John
Greenhalge, John Porter, E. H.
Haines, n. w. Harris, w. Whit
low, John Galloway, L. B. Ed
mondson and L. Hall. 1t is good
bond. The town is crowded with
people eager to get a glimpse of the
noted bandit, and when his case was
called the court house was literally
packed, standing room being hard to
find. James will leave for Jackson
county tomorrow.

POLITICAL TALK.

Ii harmony in party is any augury
OF success, there IS bright prospect
tor the democracy OF Cass county.
There has not been the slightest man
Hesitation of contentious of the party,
and everything is getting along
smoothly. There has been dlfferen-
ces of opinion on some questions,
but no tendency TO murmur or COM
plain on the part of the unsuccessful.
The party is united, and the noml-
nces. whether congressional or coun-
ty, will receive an earnest and hearty
support :-Cass County Democrat.
There is a pleasant story going
the rounds of the press that Blaine's
brother was arrested in this state sey-
eral years ago for forgery, and now
comes the news that Gen. Logan's
son has been arrested for profanity
and boisterous conduct. THE sins
OF the father shall be visited upon the
child even to the seventh generation"
says the good book. and It naturally
follows from this sacred fact that
brothers have inherited propensltics
IN common.
Col. Cross culogy of Gen. Mar
madube IN the convention was a fine
thing. The Colonel was a gallant
soldier in the Union army, and was
one of the captorS of Gen. Marina
duke at the battle OF Mine Creek, Oct.
II 1864. In the course of his re
marks IN the convention he said he
had no idea that when Gen. Marina
duke handed over his sword that they
had captured the future governor of
Missouri. The Colonel said that ev-
cry gallant soldier OF the Union army
in Missouri was the friend of Gen.
Marmaduke and they would rally to
his support with almost the same
unanimlty that the Generals old ex-
Confederate soldiers would. .-Riv-
erside Press.
Gen. Marmaduke left last night
for Sweet Springs, Saline county,
where he will spend Sunday and
Monday. On Tuesday he will meet
his friends at Fulton. Galloway coun
ty, and on Wednesday he will be at
Mexico, Audrian county. Thursday
he will be in St. Louis. He then ex-
poets to be absent from the State two
weeks. He will be in ST. Louis on
the 4th of September at the meeting
of the State Central Committee.
The General, IN an swer to an in
quiry as to the present outlook, said:
"You may say, I think the con-
vention (not speaking of myself) has
made a good ticket, and they can
count on Missouri giving Cleveland
and Hendricks 600 majority, and
at the head of the state
ticket the same vote, based on the
doctrine that this is government OF
the people, for the people and against
machine politics. Democracy means
a tair fight. a tree ballot and an hon
est count. st Louis Republican.
